Phone-surfing Results in More Purchases Leaving your mobile phone at home when you go shopping could prevent mindless overspending, a new study suggests. Research from the University of Bath discovered that when people ____1____ (distract) by their mobiles during a trip to the supermarket their shopping bills might rise ____2____ an average of 41 per cent. Attention-weakening devices also encourage shoppers to wander along more shelves, ____3____ they come across more products. In one study, 294 people aged between 18 and 73 at four Swedish supermarkets wore eye-tracking glasses throughout a shopping trip to measure where they went and ____4____ they looked at. Their receipts were then used to assess their spending. Those using a mobile phone ____5____ (spend) on average £33.73 compared to an average of £23.91 for those who did not. A second study of 117 shoppers found those with mobile phones spent longer in the store, giving more attention to shelves. They also spent an average of £36. This study found ____6____ shoppers using a mobile phone spent on average £36.16 on 20.85 items, compared to £25.59 on 13.22 products. Dr Carl-Philip Ahlbom, of the University of Bath’s School of Management said: “Business owners have tended to worry that mobiles distract shoppers from spending money, ____7____ we were amazed to find completely the reverse effect.” The findings were very clear-the more time you spend on your phone, the more money you ____8____ (part) with. “So if you’re trying to budget, ____9____ (leave) your phone in your pocket. It’s not the phone itself ____10____ causes more purchases, but its impact on our focus.” Researchers believe people spend more because using a phone distracts people from their planned lists. 【答案】1. are distracted 2. by 3. where 4. what 5. spent 6. that 7. but 8. will part 9. leave 10. that 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了研究发现手机上网会导致更多的购买行为。 【1题详解】 考查时态语态。句意：巴斯大学的研究发现，人们在逛超市时如果被手机分心，他们的购物账单可能会平均上涨41%。句子主语people和动词distract是被动关系，结合全文基础时态为一般现在时，一般现在时被动语态结构为am/is/are+过去分词，主语people是复数，be动词用are，distract的过去分词为distracted。 【2题详解】 考查介词。句意：巴斯大学的研究发现，人们在逛超市时如果被手机分心，他们的购物账单可能会平均上涨41%。此处表示数量上升的幅度，介词by可用于表示变化的程度、幅度，符合语境。 【3题详解】 考查非限定性定语从句。句意：削弱注意力的设备也鼓励购物者在更多的货架之间走来走去，在那里他们会遇到更多的产品。此处为非限定性定语从句，关系词指代先行词shelves并在从句中作地点状语,应用where。 【4题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：在一项研究中，瑞典四家超市的294名年龄在18岁至73岁之间的人在整个购物过程中都戴着眼动跟踪眼镜，以测量他们去了哪里，看了什么。此处为宾语从句，从句中的looked at缺少宾语,应用what。 【5题详解】 考查时态。句意：使用手机的人平均花费33.73英镑，而不使用手机的人平均花费23.91英镑。该段描述的是过去开展的研究中发生的动作，谓语动词要用一般过去时，spend的过去式为spent。 【6题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：这项研究发现，使用手机的购物者平均花费36.16英镑购买20.85件商品，而（不使用手机的人）平均花费25.59英镑购买13.22件商品。动词found后接完整的陈述句作宾语从句，从句不缺任何成分，用that引导宾语从句，that无实义。 【7题详解】 考查连词。句意：企业主往往担心手机会分散购物者花钱的注意力，但我们惊奇地发现完全相反的效果。根据句意可知前后是转折关系用连词but。 【8题详解】 考查时态。句意：结果非常明确——你花在手机上的时间越多，你将要花的钱就越多。此处是“the+比较级，the+比较级”结构中，前者用一般现在时表条件，后者主句常用一般将来时，结构为will+动词原形。 【9题详解】 考查祈使句。句意：所以如果你想谨慎花钱的话，把手机放在口袋里。此处为祈使句，用动词原形。 【10题详解】 考查强调句结构。句意：并不是手机本身导致了更多购买行为，而是它对我们注意力的影响。此处是强调句型It is/was+被强调部分+that+其余部分，被强调的是the phone itself，用that构成强调结构。 Section B Directions:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. Have you ever looked at someone else’s life with envy，just enough envy that you wish for a moment or two (or longer) that you could be them? Are there moments when, if the opportunity to be them were on _____11_____, you might be tempted by it? Would we really want this? And what might we learn about ourselves or how we see our lives if we ____12____ considered it? To be sure, there are ____13____ here. If you had someone else’s life, who would raise your children or love your spouse or take care of your parents in their old age? In fact, if you were someone else your own children would not have come into existence in the first place. That’s not a happy thought. To ____14____ this, perhaps the best way to cast this is in terms of a trade: If you had their life then they would have yours, and live it exactly as you would have. Your responsibilities would be ____15____, so there would be nothing to feel guilty about. If we think of it this way, then the question of wanting to be someone else is a question of what we might call experience: Is there anybody else whose experience of life you would prefer, ____16____ everything else would be equal? One ____17____ concern about wanting someone else’s experience is that my desire to be someone else is grounded in values and desires that 1 have, and so I have to be me in order to want to be him. However, it’s not clear that that presents any real obstacle to such a desire. The fact is that there would be at least enough overlap (重叠)with them that they are exemplifying my values and desires but have a better experience than I do. So I can still prefer to be them. I think that, on reflection, most of us would not want to ____18____ with another person, no matter how successful or tempting their lives seem. To see why, though, we’ll need to ____19____ our angle of vision. We will have to look at our own experiences rather than at theirs, or perhaps look at our experiences first. What would I be willing to give up to be another? My relationships with everyone — children, spouse, friends —and my whole history. I wouldn’t have _____20_____ it. My loss would be that of the whole of my own experience. 【答案】11. K 12. D 13. A 14. F 15. H 16. E 17. B 18. G 19. I 20. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，讲述了虽然有时我们羡慕别人的生活，但我们不会愿意放弃自己现在的生活去过另一个人的生活。 【11题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：如果有机会成为他们，你是否会被诱惑？on offer表示“提供的、供使用的”，故填K。 【12题详解】 考查副词。句意：如果我们认真考虑的话，我们可以从中学到什么，或者我们如何看待自己的生活？修饰动词considered用副词，根据“Would we really want this? And what might we learn about ourselves or how we see our lives” 可知此处表示“认真地”，故填D。 【13题详解】 考查名词。句意：当然，这里也有复杂的情况。分析句子结构并结合句意可知此处缺少名词作表语，根据“If you had someone else’s life, who would raise your children or love your spouse or take care of your parents in their old age?”可知此处表示“难题、复杂的情况”，故填A。 【14题详解】 考查动词。句意：为了解决这个问题，也许最好的方法是用交易的方式来表达：如果你有他们的生活，他们就会拥有你的生活，并且像你一样生活下去。空前的To为不定式符号，此处需要填动词原形，根据“perhaps the best way to cast this”可知此处表示“解决”，故填F。 【15题详解】 考查动词。句意：你的责任会被包括在内，所以不会有任何负罪感。前一句说如果你拥有他们的生活，他们就会拥有你的生活，并且像你一样生活下去，此处是说你的责任会被包括在内，因此此处表示“包括”，Your responsibilities与之是被动关系，此处填过去分词，故填H。 【16题详解】 考查动词。句意：假设其他一切都是平等的，还有谁的生活经历是你更喜欢的吗？assuming that常引导条件状语从句，表示“假如……”，故填E。 【17题详解】 考查形容词。句意：想要别人经历的一个直接问题是，我想要成为别人的愿望是基于我所拥有的价值观和欲望，所以我必须成为我自己，才能成为他。修饰名词concern用形容词，根据“concern about wanting someone else’s experience is that my desire to be someone else is grounded in values and desires that 1 have, and so I have to be me in order to want to be him.”可知此处表示“直接的”，故填B。 【18题详解】 考查动词。句意：我想，经过深思熟虑，我们大多数人都不想和别人做交易，不管他们的生活看起来多么成功或诱人。空前的to为不定式符号，此处需要填动词原形，trade with表示“与……做交易”， 故填G。 【19题详解】 考查动词。句意：不过，要了解原因，我们需要转变视角。空前的to是不定式符号，此处需要填动词原形，根据“our angle of vision”可知此处表示“转变”，故填I。 【20题详解】 考查动词。句意：为了成为另一个人，我愿意放弃什么?我与每个人的关系，孩子，配偶，朋友和我的整个历史，我不会经历这些。此处缺少动词作谓语，空前的have表明此处填过去分词，根据“What would I be willing to give up to be another?”可知此处表示“经历”，故填C。 III.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I believe in getting lost. Lost in the text of the novel that is particular to your thoughts and feelings that you consider special. The song that reminds you of your childhood summers, where you close your eyes and lose yourself reliving a memory; feeling the warm wind brushing against your arm, the smell of the dusty sand that you stir up as you ride your bicycle, murmuring the tune of that song. Like the unprepared Sunday Drive, with no destination. You’re free to wander, take paths that you’ve never noticed, and discover places you haven’t been to. Then falling off on the path to lead you back home, leaving you to test directions and alertly absorb your surroundings in order to find your way back; that kind of lost. I get lost daily; whether it’s in thought, or the unplanned drive I just decided to go on. Getting lost is an adventurous learning experience that trains you how to be more aware of your surroundings. A few of my most favorite memories involve physically getting lost. That one late night trip back to Ludington from Grand Rapids I took with a few friends. We finally realized we were going the wrong way when we hit South Haven, almost three hours out of our way. There was also the time where I got lost in the DeVos Place in Grand Rapids after the President’s Ball and then the parking garage for a solid two hours. I felt like my life was that one scene of an American television situation comedy, minus the air conditioner. At the time, these are nervous experiences that get your anxiety pumping. You’re fearful that you won’t be safe, but it always works itself out in the end. Physically losing yourself prepares you for how you manage when you emotionally or mentally lose yourself. You don’t always have to be lost in a literal sense to “get lost” and some of the time, losing yourself may not be a positive experience. There are times where I lose sight of who I am. While lost, I test out metaphorical paths and sometimes they turn out to be the right direction and other times they are a wrong turn. I made note of these wrong turns, so I can avoid them further on up the road of finding my way back to who I am. In Walden, Henry David Thoreau wrote “Not till we are lost, in other words not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations.” Getting lost fuels my curiosity and teaches me lessons on finding my way back to the right track. I believe in getting lost through day dreams, a misplacement, adventures, and difficult times where you make discoveries about yourself and the atmosphere around you. In order to truly find yourself, I believe that you should put down the map and get wonderfully lost. 36. In the first paragraph, the author mainly expresses that _______. A. getting lost in a novel is a special feeling B. songs remind us of past experiences C. wandering is a wonderful discovery D. getting lost brings us benefits 37. The author mentions the experiences of physically getting lost (in paragraph 2) in order to say ________. A. physically getting lost is most difficult to deal with B. we can enjoy trips while physically getting lost C. people are easy to get physically lost in our daily life D. we realize our surroundings while physically getting lost 38. Words from Henry David Thoreau (in the last paragraph) imply that getting lost _________. A. enables us to look within and to see outward B. pulls people back into the previous moment C. enables us to remind ourselves of adventures D. helps us enjoy ourselves wherever we are 39. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. I Once Was Lost B. Wonderfully Lost C. Physically Getting Lost D. Mentally Getting Lost 【答案】36. D 37. D 38. A 39. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者从具象和抽象层面，阐述迷失能帮人探索自我、重新找到人生正确方向。 【36题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“I believe in getting lost. Lost in the text of the novel that is particular to your thoughts and feelings that you consider special. The song that reminds you of your childhood summers, where you close your eyes and lose yourself reliving a memory; feeling the warm wind brushing against your arm, the smell of the dusty sand that you stir up as you ride your bicycle, murmuring the tune of that song. Like the unprepared Sunday Drive, with no destination. You’re free to wander, take paths that you’ve never noticed, and discover places you haven’t been to. Then falling off on the path to lead you back home, leaving you to test directions and alertly absorb your surroundings in order to find your way back; that kind of lost.(我信奉“迷失”。沉醉于一本小说的文字之中，书中的内容契合你心中那些视若珍宝的思绪与情愫。某首歌勾起你童年夏日的回忆，你闭上双眼，沉浸其中重温往事；感受暖风拂过臂膀，闻着骑车时扬起的沙尘气息，嘴里轻声哼着那首歌的曲调。就像一场毫无准备的周日自驾，没有既定目的地。你可以随意漫游，走上从未留意过的小路，探寻未曾踏足的地方。之后偏离了回家的路，你需要辨别方向，敏锐感知周遭环境，才能找到归途 —— 这便是我所说的那种迷失。)”可知，作者开篇阐释迷失可以沉浸小说、回忆、漫无目的出行，说明迷失会带给我们诸多益处。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Getting lost is an adventurous learning experience that trains you how to be more aware of your surroundings. A few of my most favorite memories involve physically getting lost.(迷失是一场充满冒险的学习体验，它教会你更加留意周围的环境。我有几段十分珍贵的回忆，都和现实中的迷路有关。)”可知，作者列举亲身迷路事例，是为说明身体迷路时我们能够感知周围环境。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Not till we are lost, in other words not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations.(只有当我们迷失自我，换句话说，只有当我们失去整个外部世界之时，我们才开始找寻自我，认清自身所处的位置，领悟到人与人之间羁绊的无限广度。)”可知，梭罗的话表明迷失使我们既能够向内审视自我，又能够向外放眼世界。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“In order to truly find yourself, I believe that you should put down the map and get wonderfully lost.(为了真正找到自我，我认为你应当放下地图，尽情地、美好地去迷失。)”可知，文章主要讲述作者从具象和抽象层面，阐述迷失能帮人探索自我、重新找到人生正确方向。全文围绕“美好地迷失”展开论述。 (B) Magical Harry Potter Competition How to enter Simply draw your Patronus(保护神)in the postcard-sized space below.

Social media stars were crafting 30-second videos to post on their social media channels ahead of the comedy’s second-season return. Each made sure to mention Superstore and its first public show. As networks and studios struggle to reach young audiences in an increasingly fragmented(碎片化的)media marketplace, many have turned to so-called influencers—online stars whose is measured by the size of their Internet followings—as a means of generating awareness. Advertisers are seizing on the strategy in an age of commercial-skipping and ad-blockers. Word of mouth in the digital age means messages travel faster by way of social media. The majority of consumers worldwide trust online recommendations from stars. And when Superstore gave its first public show, it did so to higher ratings than the last show of Season 1. Studio and network executives say they work with influencers to build brand awareness and reputation in a more friendly way through the friend-like connections consumers feel toward the online personalities they follow. At the upper level, influencers typically have thousands of followers on social media and online content platforms and count many millions of people who tune in daily to watch them. Some do something that makes themselves look stupid in their daily routine, sharing videos of their trips to the grocery store or dinner dates. Others have built careers on performances—making comedy videos, reviewing video games, performing magic tricks and teaching cooking lessons, among other pursuits. When in the employ of studios, their efforts can be as simple as publicizing a film or more involved attempts like the marketing push for Superstore. Entertainment companies declined to discuss how much they pay influencers. But several experts said their pay ranges from a few thousand dollars to several million. Some simply receive gift baskets instead of pay. Over the last year or so, some entertainment companies have begun to cast influencers in their TV and film projects. The strategy is a bit of gamble: It’s a new business model, and questions remain about the effectiveness of using these personalities to improve a show’s ratings—or help open a movie. Just how much influence the influencers have is hard to measure. TV ratings and box-office returns do not reveal what caused a viewer to tune in. What is clear is that these personalities aren’t necessarily getting the work because of their acting skills, but often because of their Internet followings. Yet as social media stars consider whether to take on jobs promoting movies and TV shows, there’s an important consideration for both parties: the credibility of a campaign. “Fans are definitely award when they’re being tempted with promotional posts,” said Zach King, a social media star who performs magic tricks. “It has to be something that is natural and fits with the image of the creator.” 43. Why did social media stars post short videos on their channels before Superstore’s second season? A. To attract more influencers B. To draw audience’s attention C. To put on better performances D. To increase the channels’ popularity 44. Advertisers like the influencer marketing strategy because ________. A. audiences believe in whatever online stars recommend B. influencers are quite award of the impact of the digital age C. ordinary advertisements are often ignored by young people D. social media platforms are the cheapest place to spread messages 45. What is implied in the passage? A. The influencer marketing strategy help build connections between executives B. Most influencers get paid from gift baskets instead of from their companies C. Most influencers take on marketing jobs regardless of their reliability D. The influencer marketing strategy may not really work well 46. The passage mainly wants to tell us that __________. A. most young people like following influencers B. studios are relying more on social media stars C. influencers are gradually replacing movie stars D. social media are filming videos for Superstore 【答案】43. B 44. C 45. D 46. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章结合电影《超市》第二季开播前利用明星宣传效应，分析了影响者营销策略的利弊。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段Advertisers are seizing on the strategy in an age of commercial-skipping and ad-blockers. Word of mouth in the digital age means messages travel faster by way of social media. The majority of consumers worldwide trust online recommendations from stars. 广告客户在这个跳过广告、屏蔽广告的时代抓住了这一战略。在数字时代，口碑意味着信息通过社交媒体传播得更快。全球大多数消费者相信明星的在线推荐。可知，社交媒体明星们会在《超市》第二季开播前在自己的频道上发布短视频是为了吸引观众的注意力。故选B项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段Studio and network executives say they work with influencers to build brand awareness and reputation in a more friendly way through the friend-like connections consumers feel toward the online personalities they follow. At the upper level, influencers typically have thousands of followers on social media and online content platforms and count many millions of people who tune in daily to watch them. 他们与有影响力的人合作，通过消费者对他们所关注的网络人物所产生的类似朋友的联系，以更友好的方式建立品牌知名度和声誉。在上层，有影响力的人通常在社交媒体和在线内容平台上有成千上万的追随者，每天有数百万人收看他们的节目。可知，广告商喜欢有影响力的营销策略，因为普通的广告常常被年轻人忽视。故选C项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段The strategy is a bit of gamble: It’s a new business model, and questions remain about the effectiveness of using these personalities to improve a show’s ratings—or help open a movie. Just how much influence the influencers have is hard to measure. TV ratings and box-office returns do not reveal what caused a viewer to tune in. 这种策略有点冒险：这是一种新的商业模式，利用这些人物角色来提高一部剧的评分或帮助一部电影上映的有效性仍然存在问题。很难衡量这些有影响力的人到底有多大的影响力。电视收视率和票房收入并不能揭示是什么导致了观众的收看。可知影响者营销策略可能并不真正有效。故选D项。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。文章通过介绍明星宣传电影《超市》第二季使得其热销的例子，引出了话题有影响力的营销策略，也说明了电影公司越来越依赖社交媒体明星。故选B项。 Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. The Minoans: A Forgotten People The first advanced culture in ancient Greece was the Minoan culture. For thousands of years, knowledge of these people survived only in Greek myths. In the late 19th century, archaeologists began to unearth ruins. This inspired Arthur Evans to begin digging on the island of Crete near mainland Greece. On a dig in Knossos, Evans found an ancient palace. Experts think that it was the palace of King Minos, a central figure in many Greek myths. ____47____ With his team, he uncovered a vast structure, varied works of art, and many hieroglyphic records. These finds, together with later finds, comprise all that experts know about Minoan culture. From the evidence experts gathered, it is clear that the Minoans were ahead of their time. The palace at Knossos was five floors high with hundreds of rooms. Buildings throughout the ancient city had plumbing and flush toilets. Stone pavement lined the surfaces of the roads. In addition, the Minoans possessed a highly developed naval fleet for long-distance trade. ____48____ These records confirm the central role of commerce in culture. Their analysis of the evidence also offers insight into some aspects of Minoan society. ____49____ Ruins and artwork suggest that people of all classes enjoyed a high degree of social and gender equality. Religious icons (图符) show that Minoans worshiped bulls, the natural world, and many female gods. An unusual feature of Minoans culture was the pursuit of leisure interests. Sport and visual arts were central to Minoan life. Boxing and bull jumping, a sport in which players jumped over live bulls, were popular. Although bull jumping may have served some ritual purpose, experts believe that it was done mostly for fun. Similarly, although some works of art showed political and religious themes, other works served only as pleasant decor (装饰品). ____50____ The Minoans met their demise after a series of natural disasters. Experts believe that group from the Greek mainland capitalized on these events and looked over the island. A. Some experts think that the wealth gained from trade allowed for such leisure in sports and the arts. B. Experts believe that a king and mostly a female priest ruled the government and controlled trade. C. In ancient Greek myths, Minoan society was quite prosperous and highly civilized. D. The palace that Evans unearthed a century ago was the first proof of Minoan culture. E. Minoan culture didn’t exist before Arthur Evans discovered the palace under the earth. F. Although not yet decoded, written script on clay tablets appears to list trade accounts. 【答案】47. D 48. F 49. B 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文一篇说明文。文章主要围绕古希腊的米诺斯文化展开，通过考古发现的相关证据，对米诺斯文化的各个方面进行介绍和说明。 【47题详解】 前文“This inspired Arthur Evans to begin digging on the island of Crete near mainland Greece. On a dig in Kbossos, Evans found an ancient palace. Experts think that it was the palace of King Minos, a central figure in many Greek myths.(这激发了亚瑟·埃文斯开始在希腊大陆附近的克里特岛上挖掘。在克博索斯的一次挖掘中，埃文斯发现了一座古老的宫殿。专家认为这是米诺斯国王的宫殿，他是许多希腊神话中的中心人物。)”讲述了亚瑟·埃文斯受考古发现启发在克里特岛挖掘，找到了一座被认为是米诺斯国王的宫殿。后文“With his team, he uncovered a vast structure, varied works of art, and many hieroglyphic records. These finds, together with later finds, comprise all that experts know about Minoan culture.(与他的团队一起，他发现了一个巨大的结构，各种各样的艺术作品，以及许多象形文字的记录。这些发现，加上后来的发现，构成了专家们对米诺斯文化的全部了解。)”提到他和团队发掘出了巨大的建筑结构、多样的艺术品和许多象形文字记录。选项D“The palace that Evans unearthed a century ago was the first proof of Minoan culture. (埃文斯一个世纪前发掘的宫殿是米诺斯文化的第一个证据)”，既承接了前文埃文斯发掘宫殿的内容，又引出了后文基于此次发掘所获取的关于米诺斯文化的更多发现。故选D项。 【48题详解】 前文“In addition, the Minoans possessed a highly developed naval fleet for long-distance trade.(此外，米诺斯人还拥有一支高度发达的海军舰队，可以进行长途贸易。)”提到米诺斯人拥有高度发达的海军舰队用于长途贸易，后文“These records confirm the central role of commerce in culture.(这些记录证实了商业在文化中的核心作用。)”说这些记录证实了商业在文化中的核心地位。选项F“Although not yet decoded, written script on clay tablets appears to list trade accounts. (虽然尚未破译，但泥板上的文字似乎列出了贸易账目)”，其中的“贸易账目”与前文的“贸易”相呼应，同时“记录”也与后文的“这些记录”相衔接，解释了能证实商业核心地位的记录是什么。故选F项。 【49题详解】 前文“Their analysis of the evidence also offers insight into some aspects of Minoan society.(他们对证据的分析也为了解米诺斯社会的某些方面提供了见解。)”可知，空格处应该提到专家们对解米诺斯社会的见解。所以B项“Experts believe that a king and mostly a female priest ruled the government and controlled trade. (专家认为一位国王和主要是女性祭司统治着政府并控制着贸易) 填入空格处，与上文是顺接关系。且后文“Ruins and artwork suggest that people of all classes enjoyed a high degree of social and gender equality. Religious icons show that Minoans worshiped bulls, the natural world, and many female gods.(废墟和艺术品表明，所有阶层的人都享有高度的社会和性别平等。宗教图符表明，米诺斯人崇拜公牛、自然世界和许多女神。)”提到遗迹和艺术品表明各个阶层的人都享有高度的社会和性别平等，宗教图符显示米诺斯人崇拜公牛、自然世界和许多女性神灵，其中的“性别平等”以及“崇拜许多女性神灵”与B项中的“女性祭司”相呼应。故选B项。 【50题详解】 前文“An unusual feature of Minoans culture was the pursuit of leisure interests. Sport and visual arts were central to Minoan life. Boxing and bull jumping, a sport in which players jumped over live bulls, were popular. Although bull jumping may have served some ritual purpose, experts believe that it was done mostly for fun. Similarly, although some works of art showed political and religious themes, other works served only as pleasant decor. (米诺斯文化的一个独特特征是对休闲兴趣的追求。体育和视觉艺术是米诺斯人生活的核心。拳击和跳牛 (一种参与者跃过活牛的运动) 十分流行。尽管跳牛可能具有一定的仪式目的，但专家认为其主要还是为了娱乐。同样，虽然部分艺术作品展现了政治和宗教主题，但其他作品仅作为悦目的装饰。)”介绍了米诺斯文化对休闲娱乐的追求，如拳击、跳牛等体育活动以及视觉艺术，提到跳牛和部分艺术作品主要是为了娱乐。选项A“Some experts think that the wealth gained from trade allowed for such leisure in sports and the arts. (一些专家认为从贸易中获得的财富使得人们能够在体育和艺术方面享受这样的休闲时光)”，解释了米诺斯人能够追求休闲娱乐的经济基础，与前文关于休闲娱乐的内容相呼应。故选A项。 Translation Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 51. 我对这场比赛的结果抱乐观态度。（optimistic） _____________________ 【答案】I am optimistic about the result of the match. 【解析】 【详解】表示句子主语“我”用“I”；表示“对……抱乐观态度”用短语“be optimistic about…”表示，其中“be”为系动词，陈述的是客观事实，应该用一般现在时，主语为“I”，be用“am”表示；表示“比赛”用名词“match”表示，结合语境可知，应是单数形式；表示“……的结果”用短语“the result of”表示。 52. 那些有幸在灾难中存活下来的人深切懂得幸福未必和名利有关。（survive）(汉译英) _________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Those who are lucky enough to survive the disaster deeply understand that happiness is not necessarily related to fame and wealth. 【解析】 【详解】句子陈述事实，用一般现在时；表示“那些人”用Those，作主语；表示“有幸在灾难中存活下来的”用定语从句修饰先行词Those，指人，关系词在从句中作主语，用who引导，表示“有幸做某事；足够幸运去做某事”用be lucky enough to do sth.，表示“在灾难中存活下来”用survive the disaster；表示“深切懂得”用deeply understand作主句谓语；表示“幸福未必和名利有关”用宾语从句作understand的宾语；表示“幸福”用happiness，作宾语从句主语；表示“未必”用not necessarily；表示“和……有关”用be related to，主语为happiness，系动词用is；表示“名利”用fame and wealth，作宾语；宾语从句不缺少成分或含义，用that引导。 53. 无人驾驶技术解决了人们的困惑，使开车打电话成为可能。 (...it...) _____________________ 【答案】Driverless technology solves people's puzzle and makes it possible to make a phone call /talk on the phone while driving. 【解析】 【详解】根据句意，该句表述客观情况，全句使用一般现在时，表示“无人驾驶技术”为driverless technology作主语，位于句首，首字母需大写；表示“解决了”为solve作第一个谓语，主语technology为单数，solve变为solves；表示“人们的困惑”为people’s puzzle作solve的宾语；并列连词and连接并列谓语；表示“使……成为可能”为make it possible结构，it作形式宾语，真正的宾语为后面的不定式；主语为单数，make变为makes；表示“开车打电话”为to make a phone call /talk on the phone while driving作真正宾语，while driving为省略“主语+be动词”结构，作时间状语。 54. 他坚信，只要大家齐心协力，这项任务一定会按时完成。（belief）(汉译英) _________________________________________________________________ 【答案】He firmly holds the belief that as long as we all make concerted efforts, the task will surely be completed on time. 【解析】 【详解】结合句意，主句表述当前的固定想法，用一般现在时；条件状语从句用一般现在时表将来，对应的结果主句用一般将来时的被动语态；主语为he；表示“坚信”结合提示词belief，固定表达为firmly hold the belief，后接that引导的同位语从句，解释说明belief的具体内容；表示“只要”表达为as long as，引导条件状语从句，遵循“主将从现”原则；表示“齐心协力”表达为make concerted efforts/work together；表示“按时完成”中主语“任务”是动作的承受者，需用被动语态，表达为be completed on time。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2029届高一英语检测 I.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Phone-surfing Results in More Purchases Leaving your mobile phone at home when you go shopping could prevent mindless overspending, a new study suggests. Research from the University of Bath discovered that when people ____1____ (distract) by their mobiles during a trip to the supermarket their shopping bills might rise ____2____ an average of 41 per cent. Attention-weakening devices also encourage shoppers to wander along more shelves, ____3____ they come across more products. In one study, 294 people aged between 18 and 73 at four Swedish supermarkets wore eye-tracking glasses throughout a shopping trip to measure where they went and ____4____ they looked at. Their receipts were then used to assess their spending. Those using a mobile phone ____5____ (spend) on average £33.73 compared to an average of £23.91 for those who did not. A second study of 117 shoppers found those with mobile phones spent longer in the store, giving more attention to shelves. They also spent an average of £36. This study found ____6____ shoppers using a mobile phone spent on average £36.16 on 20.85 items, compared to £25.59 on 13.22 products. Dr Carl-Philip Ahlbom, of the University of Bath’s School of Management said: “Business owners have tended to worry that mobiles distract shoppers from spending money, ____7____ we were amazed to find completely the reverse effect.” The findings were very clear-the more time you spend on your phone, the more money you ____8____ (part) with. “So if you’re trying to budget, ____9____ (leave) your phone in your pocket. It’s not the phone itself ____10____ causes more purchases, but its impact on our focus.” Researchers believe people spend more because using a phone distracts people from their planned lists. Section B Directions:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. Have you ever looked at someone else’s life with envy，just enough envy that you wish for a moment or two (or longer) that you could be them? Are there moments when, if the opportunity to be them were on _____11_____, you might be tempted by it? Would we really want this? And what might we learn about ourselves or how we see our lives if we ____12____ considered it? To be sure, there are ____13____ here. If you had someone else’s life, who would raise your children or love your spouse or take care of your parents in their old age? In fact, if you were someone else your own children would not have come into existence in the first place. That’s not a happy thought. To ____14____ this, perhaps the best way to cast this is in terms of a trade: If you had their life then they would have yours, and live it exactly as you would have. Your responsibilities would be ____15____, so there would be nothing to feel guilty about. If we think of it this way, then the question of wanting to be someone else is a question of what we might call experience: Is there anybody else whose experience of life you would prefer, ____16____ everything else would be equal? One ____17____ concern about wanting someone else’s experience is that my desire to be someone else is grounded in values and desires that 1 have, and so I have to be me in order to want to be him. However, it’s not clear that that presents any real obstacle to such a desire. The fact is that there would be at least enough overlap (重叠)with them that they are exemplifying my values and desires but have a better experience than I do. So I can still prefer to be them. I think that, on reflection, most of us would not want to ____18____ with another person, no matter how successful or tempting their lives seem. To see why, though, we’ll need to ____19____ our angle of vision. We will have to look at our own experiences rather than at theirs, or perhaps look at our experiences first. What would I be willing to give up to be another? My relationships with everyone — children, spouse, friends —and my whole history. I wouldn’t have _____20_____ it. My loss would be that of the whole of my own experience. III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. It has been one of the deadliest climbing seasons on Everest, with at least 10 deaths.

Add to that Everest’s unmatched ____25____ to a growing body of thrill-seekers the world over.

To reach the peak, climbers ____26____ every pound of equipment they can and take with them just enough cans of compressed oxygen to make it to the top and back down. It is hard to think straight at that altitude（海拔）. According to the climbers, some of the deaths this year were caused by people getting held up in the long lines on the last 1,000 feet or so of the climb, unable to get up and down fast enough to ____27____ their oxygen supply. Others were simply not fit enough to be on the mountain ____28____. Nepal has no ____29____ rules about who can climb Everest, and experienced climbers say that is a direct reason for ____30____. “You have to reach certain standards to do the Ironman,” said Alan Arnett, a remarkable Everest climber. “But you don’t have to ____31____ to climb the highest mountain in the world? What’s wrong with this picture?” The last time 10 or more people died on Everest was in 2015, during an avalanche. By some measures, the Everest machine has only gotten more out of ____32____.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I believe in getting lost. Lost in the text of the novel that is particular to your thoughts and feelings that you consider special. The song that reminds you of your childhood summers, where you close your eyes and lose yourself reliving a memory; feeling the warm wind brushing against your arm, the smell of the dusty sand that you stir up as you ride your bicycle, murmuring the tune of that song. Like the unprepared Sunday Drive, with no destination. You’re free to wander, take paths that you’ve never noticed, and discover places you haven’t been to. Then falling off on the path to lead you back home, leaving you to test directions and alertly absorb your surroundings in order to find your way back; that kind of lost. I get lost daily; whether it’s in thought, or the unplanned drive I just decided to go on. Getting lost is an adventurous learning experience that trains you how to be more aware of your surroundings. A few of my most favorite memories involve physically getting lost. That one late night trip back to Ludington from Grand Rapids I took with a few friends. We finally realized we were going the wrong way when we hit South Haven, almost three hours out of our way. There was also the time where I got lost in the DeVos Place in Grand Rapids after the President’s Ball and then the parking garage for a solid two hours. I felt like my life was that one scene of an American television situation comedy, minus the air conditioner. At the time, these are nervous experiences that get your anxiety pumping. You’re fearful that you won’t be safe, but it always works itself out in the end. Physically losing yourself prepares you for how you manage when you emotionally or mentally lose yourself. You don’t always have to be lost in a literal sense to “get lost” and some of the time, losing yourself may not be a positive experience. There are times where I lose sight of who I am. While lost, I test out metaphorical paths and sometimes they turn out to be the right direction and other times they are a wrong turn. I made note of these wrong turns, so I can avoid them further on up the road of finding my way back to who I am. In Walden, Henry David Thoreau wrote “Not till we are lost, in other words not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations.” Getting lost fuels my curiosity and teaches me lessons on finding my way back to the right track. I believe in getting lost through day dreams, a misplacement, adventures, and difficult times where you make discoveries about yourself and the atmosphere around you. In order to truly find yourself, I believe that you should put down the map and get wonderfully lost. 36. In the first paragraph, the author mainly expresses that _______.

Social media stars were crafting 30-second videos to post on their social media channels ahead of the comedy’s second-season return. Each made sure to mention Superstore and its first public show. As networks and studios struggle to reach young audiences in an increasingly fragmented(碎片化的)media marketplace, many have turned to so-called influencers—online stars whose is measured by the size of their Internet followings—as a means of generating awareness. Advertisers are seizing on the strategy in an age of commercial-skipping and ad-blockers. Word of mouth in the digital age means messages travel faster by way of social media. The majority of consumers worldwide trust online recommendations from stars. And when Superstore gave its first public show, it did so to higher ratings than the last show of Season 1. Studio and network executives say they work with influencers to build brand awareness and reputation in a more friendly way through the friend-like connections consumers feel toward the online personalities they follow. At the upper level, influencers typically have thousands of followers on social media and online content platforms and count many millions of people who tune in daily to watch them. Some do something that makes themselves look stupid in their daily routine, sharing videos of their trips to the grocery store or dinner dates. Others have built careers on performances—making comedy videos, reviewing video games, performing magic tricks and teaching cooking lessons, among other pursuits. When in the employ of studios, their efforts can be as simple as publicizing a film or more involved attempts like the marketing push for Superstore. Entertainment companies declined to discuss how much they pay influencers. But several experts said their pay ranges from a few thousand dollars to several million. Some simply receive gift baskets instead of pay. Over the last year or so, some entertainment companies have begun to cast influencers in their TV and film projects. The strategy is a bit of gamble: It’s a new business model, and questions remain about the effectiveness of using these personalities to improve a show’s ratings—or help open a movie. Just how much influence the influencers have is hard to measure. TV ratings and box-office returns do not reveal what caused a viewer to tune in. What is clear is that these personalities aren’t necessarily getting the work because of their acting skills, but often because of their Internet followings. Yet as social media stars consider whether to take on jobs promoting movies and TV shows, there’s an important consideration for both parties: the credibility of a campaign. “Fans are definitely award when they’re being tempted with promotional posts,” said Zach King, a social media star who performs magic tricks. “It has to be something that is natural and fits with the image of the creator.” 43. Why did social media stars post short videos on their channels before Superstore’s second season? A. To attract more influencers B. To draw audience’s attention C. To put on better performances D. To increase the channels’ popularity 44. Advertisers like the influencer marketing strategy because ________. A. audiences believe in whatever online stars recommend B. influencers are quite award of the impact of the digital age C. ordinary advertisements are often ignored by young people D. social media platforms are the cheapest place to spread messages 45. What is implied in the passage? A. The influencer marketing strategy help build connections between executives B. Most influencers get paid from gift baskets instead of from their companies C. Most influencers take on marketing jobs regardless of their reliability D. The influencer marketing strategy may not really work well 46. The passage mainly wants to tell us that __________. A. most young people like following influencers B. studios are relying more on social media stars C. influencers are gradually replacing movie stars D. social media are filming videos for Superstore Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. The Minoans: A Forgotten People The first advanced culture in ancient Greece was the Minoan culture. For thousands of years, knowledge of these people survived only in Greek myths. In the late 19th century, archaeologists began to unearth ruins. This inspired Arthur Evans to begin digging on the island of Crete near mainland Greece. On a dig in Knossos, Evans found an ancient palace. Experts think that it was the palace of King Minos, a central figure in many Greek myths. ____47____ With his team, he uncovered a vast structure, varied works of art, and many hieroglyphic records. These finds, together with later finds, comprise all that experts know about Minoan culture. From the evidence experts gathered, it is clear that the Minoans were ahead of their time. The palace at Knossos was five floors high with hundreds of rooms. Buildings throughout the ancient city had plumbing and flush toilets. Stone pavement lined the surfaces of the roads. In addition, the Minoans possessed a highly developed naval fleet for long-distance trade. ____48____ These records confirm the central role of commerce in culture. Their analysis of the evidence also offers insight into some aspects of Minoan society. ____49____ Ruins and artwork suggest that people of all classes enjoyed a high degree of social and gender equality. Religious icons (图符) show that Minoans worshiped bulls, the natural world, and many female gods. An unusual feature of Minoans culture was the pursuit of leisure interests. Sport and visual arts were central to Minoan life. Boxing and bull jumping, a sport in which players jumped over live bulls, were popular. Although bull jumping may have served some ritual purpose, experts believe that it was done mostly for fun. Similarly, although some works of art showed political and religious themes, other works served only as pleasant decor (装饰品). ____50____ The Minoans met their demise after a series of natural disasters. Experts believe that group from the Greek mainland capitalized on these events and looked over the island. A. Some experts think that the wealth gained from trade allowed for such leisure in sports and the arts. B.
