He had worked in the film industry for 30 years, but he gradually got tired of his job. “I thought things would only get worse and worse,” he said. Brown knew he had to do something else — but what? A few years earlier, he had bought the house where he lived as a child and moved back in. Brown was originally thinking about making gardening his second career when another voice spoke to him deep inside. “All these years, that little boy who used to love drawing has been whispering softly in my heart,” he said. A longing that he had never paid much attention to was awakened. There was a huge oak tree (橡树) near Brown’s home. When he was a child, the tree seemed like a magical giant to him — it was a precious home for birds, insects and animals, and there was even a hole inside it. “We used to squeeze through this hole to play in the tree,” he recalled. He decided to lock himself away for two months to draw every beautiful detail of the tree. “When I was drawing,” he said, “there were moments when it felt like the tree was drawing itself. I spent so much time playing in it when I was young. I could feel it — it had been deeply rooted in my heart for a long time.” The finished drawing of the oak tree was full of “real power,” he said. “The closer you look at it, the more lifelike it seems.” And just like that, Brown became a tree portraitist. In the following years, he traveled all over Britain. With the help of the Ancient Tree Forum, the Tree Council and the Woodland Trust, he chose some special trees and spent several days observing and drawing each one. Brown has started working on a series of 20 drawings featuring Britain’s most important ash trees. “These beautiful old ash trees will soon disappear from us,” he said. “They are 350 years old, but they are dying because of a disease that we humans have spread.” “Drawing is not only an act of care, but also a call for people to protect trees,” Brown explained. “It also allows me to combine my love for nature with my creativity.” It has also given him a new perspective on the passing of time. “I am already an old man, but I am only 71 years old. Some of the trees I have drawn are 1,000 years old. When I am with these trees and drawing them, I think about the end of my own life and how short human life is — passing by in a moment beneath these ancient trees.” 4. What did Brown do at the age of 57? A. He moved into his old house. B. He found back his love for drawing from childhood. C. He had the best time of his life. D. He developed a passion for gardening. 5. What can we learn about the oak tree and Brown? A. It helped him start a new career. B. It linked him with the world. C. He built a tree house in it. D. He studied birds, insects and animals in it. 6. What is Brown working on? A. Setting up tree groups. B. Trying to find ways to cure sick trees. C. Drawing trees to ask people to protect them. D. Traveling around Britain to pick important trees. 7. What does he feel when Brown is with trees? A. Time is endless. B. Human life is short. C. Nature is always changing. D. Life-long learning is crucial. C Come up with a password that’s at least 10 characters long. It should include numbers, at least one symbol, and — just to be safe — be something you’ll remember, of course. Yes, passwords are annoying, but their days are numbered: passkeys are here to make passwords obsolete. With passkeys, you don’t have to remember or make up anything. When you sign up for a website or app, your phone or computer creates two linked keys: a public key and a private key. The public key is kept on the website’s or app’s servers. The private key — a long string of letters and numbers — is only saved on your device. When you log in, the website’s server sends a “check” to your device. Your device uses the private key to create a unique “signature” as proof. Then you use your PIN, fingerprint, or face scan to unlock your device and approve this signature. The server then matches your signature with your public key to let you in. Your private key is safe because no one can get it from the public key. Because passkeys are made for one specific website or app, they won’t work on fake sites (like ones that look like your bank’s site and try to steal your password). Passkeys also can’t be tricked by scammers who lie to get your info — since you don’t even know the passkey yourself; only your device does. Even though passkeys are one of the safest solutions ever, Jonathan S. Weissman, a cybersecurity (网络安全) expert from the Rochester Institute of Technology, says many people will keep using passwords because they’re used to them. Andrew Shikiar, director of the FIDO Alliance (an organization working on fast online identity checks), agrees that people hate change — but he thinks consumers will finally get used to this new technology. “Someday, we’ll look back at passwords the way we now look at old dial phones,” he predicts. 8. What does the underlined word “obsolete” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Out of trouble. B. Out of reach. C. Out of hand. D. Out of date. 9. What is the second paragraph mainly talking about concerning passkeys? A. What they are made of. B. How they work. C. What special features they have. D. It’s where they can be used. 10. What can be inferred about passkeys from Paragraphs 3 and 4? A. They can’t be tricked by fake sites. B. They are saved by certain apps. C. They became popular right away. D. They change by themselves to stay safe. 11. What attitude does Shikiar have towards the prospect of passkeys? A. Doubtful. B. Cautious. C. Optimistic. D. Dismissive. (不屑一顾的) D Power often makes employees more creative because being powerful frees them from rules and limits. However, new research shows that employees without much power can become more creative too — if they get time to “warm up” to a creative task by doing it more than once. “This is important,” said Brian Lucas, an assistant professor at Cornell University. “When more powerful people can share creative ideas more easily than less powerful ones, it creates a ‘rich-get-richer’ situation. This makes the gap between powerful and less powerful workers even bigger. So finding ways to boost (推动) less powerful workers’ creativity can help fix this unfair disadvantage,” Lucas explained. Lucas and his team did two studies to prove their point. In the first study, they split the creative task into two rounds: a 1-minute “warm-up” round, followed by a second round where participants could take as long as they wanted. The researchers randomly put people into two groups: a “high-power” group and a “low-power” group. To make people feel powerful or not, they gave different roles: those in the high-power group got a leadership role (with control over resources), while those in the low-power group got an ordinary employee role (with no control over resources). The study found that high-power people were more creative in the warm-up round. But in the second round, both groups were equally creative. In the second study, the researchers used a different creative task and increased the number of rounds from two to five. Participants could take as much time as they liked for each round. Just like the first study, high-power people were more creative in the first round. But after that, less powerful people’s creativity caught up to the high-power group’s. “The ‘warm-up effect’ for less powerful workers gives a simple solution,” Lucas said. “It helps all employees use their creative potential and reduces unfair power gaps at work: when people do creative tasks, let them warm up first.” 12. Why does Lucas think it important to boost the creativity of lower power workers? A. It maintains power imbalances. B. It makes them want to catch up. C. It creates a competitive work environment. D. It helps make the workplace fairer. 13. How did researchers make people feel powerful in the first study? A. By offering different rewards. B. By giving different roles. C. By setting different time limits. D. By giving different creative tasks. 14. What is the difference between the two studies? A. The number of participants. B. The way of giving roles. C. The type of creative tasks. D. The time length of each round. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Power makes employees much more creative. B. Less powerful workers are less creative at first. C. Warm-up time fixes the unfair creativity gap caused by power. D. Power gaps at work affect how creative employees are. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两处为多余选项。 Today, we have an always-in-your-pocket, 24/7 news cycle. When you open a news app, you’ll notice a brief moment when the “old news” is still there. In a flash, the ancient history of a few hours ago is swept away for the next “breaking news”. ____16____ It’s endless, but you had better keep up. Researchers refer to this world with the phrase “noise bottleneck” (信息噪音瓶颈). A noise bottleneck is a situation where we are overwhelmed with so much information, or noise, that our cognitive abilities can’t keep up. ____17____ Thus, while our attention can handle hours of videos, our long-term learning processes cannot. ____18____ We watch TV while holding our phones, and we listen to music when shopping. However, the human brain may have structural limits rooted in its cognitive architecture, which cause a slowdown when two tasks are done at the same time. In short, your brain is not as good as you think it is. You are a human being who can only take in so much in a day. Understanding the noise bottleneck allows us to fix it. So, here are three tips to get you started: Clear your content — create a new social media account and follow only the accounts or people you find really valuable. Single-task — you don’t need to get rid of your phone, but do get rid of distractions. ____19____ For example, say, “I will only read this magazine after dinner.” Multitasking is for show; single-tasking is for those who are serious about getting things done. Accept your limits — you’ll never read all the news. Accept that you can only choose two or three stories and embrace that fact. ____20____ You’re getting more out of those few than that “super-productive” person on social media who claims to read five books a week. After all, it’s better to remember a little than to forget a lot. A. Give yourself a time limit or restriction if it helps. B. Every second, new information is presented to you. C. Don’t be hard on yourself for not being productive. D. Breaking through the noise bottleneck is a legendary idea. E. The matter is made worse by our modern addiction to multitasking. F. Multitasking has greatly changed the way we use information. G. Our brains have limited resources, spread across many functions. 第三部分： 英语基础知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 一： 完型填空（共15 小题， 每小题 1 分，满分15分） Eli walked to school every day, a familiar routine that never failed to bring him a sense of peace.

But as he picked up the balloon, Eli noticed a ____33____ attached to it, which read “These beautiful trees are the home of some special birds. Let’s do our bit to ____34____ them.” Having seen this, Eli ____35____ put back the balloon and walked at a brisk pace towards his home. 21. A. started B. continued C. ended D. worked 22.

Since 2011, the country has grown more corn ____36____ rice. Corn production has jumped nearly 125 percent over ____37____ past 25 years, while rice has increased only 7 percent. A taste for meat is ____38____ (actual) behind the change: An important part of its corn ____39____ (use) to feed chickens, pigs, and cattle. Another reason for corn’s rise: The government encourages farmers to grow corn instead of rice ____40____ (improve) water quality. Corn uses less water than rice and creates less fertilizer (化肥) runoff. This switch has decreased ____41____ (pollute) in the country’s major ____42____ (lake) and reservoirs and made drinking water safer for people. According to the World Bank, China accounts for about 30 percent of total ____43____ (globe) fertilizer consumption. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005 — when the government started a soil-testing program ____44____ gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers — and 2011, fertilizer use dropped ____45____ 7.7 million tons. That prevented the emission (排放) of 51.8 million tons of carbon dioxide. China’s approach to protecting its environment while feeding its citizens “offers useful lessons for agriculture and food policymakers worldwide,” says the bank’s Juergen Voegele. 第四部分： 写作 （共两节， 满分 40分 ） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 你校上周在学校礼堂举办了一次讲座，主题为“学校生活中时间管理的重要性”。请你给学校英文报写一篇报道，其中部分表述句型已提供，可以自行选择，内容包括： 1. 讲座的内容；(organize a lecture举办讲座; theme of...……的主题) 2. 学生的反响；(be met with enthusiasm受到热烈欢迎) 3. 你的收获。(learn that...了解到……；gain a deeper understanding of...对……有了更深的理解) 注意：写作词数应为80个左右。 A meaningful lecture ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I drew in a breath, let it out against the backseat window, and scratched the word AWFUL on the fogged glass. Dad glanced at me through the rearview (后视镜) mirror. “Alex, this will be a nice opportunity for you to see your grandparents.” The car turned onto a familiar dirt road. We’re-getting farther from the city. Farther from Internet access. Farther from the computer camp. “Cheer up, Alex! There will be another computer camp soon,” said Mom. “Probably even this summer.” All my programming friends would be coding at the computer camp this week while I was stuck on the farm. I didn’t say a word. Finally, the car pulled into Granny and Granddad’s driveway. A thin line of trees came into sight. I liked visiting the farm on’ spring breaks before I started doing coding camps…and before I knew how badly I could mess things up. The car engine wasn’t off when Granny bounded (跳跃着跑) toward us. I watched from the backseat as Dad and Mom hugged Granny. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. Gravity seemed abnormally strong. ”You two deserve a vacation,” Granny was saying. “Alex will be fine — he loves being on the farm.” She meant loved. Alex loved being on the farm. During lunch Granny asked, “Why so sad, Alex?” I kept silent. Why? They’re really acting as if nothing had happened during my last visit. For a second, my eyes caught Granny’s. Could I ask her if her goats had destroyed all her next-door neighbor, Mr. Jackson’s flowers because I lifted the latch (门闩) and let out the goats? Was Mr. Jackson still angry with me for having brought him such a great loss? “I’m fine,” I mumbled (咕哝). “Just missing the coding camp this week. Coding’s just something I’m good at.” Mummy nodded. “Ahhh. That sounds disappointing, but the farm will bring you something different.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After lunch, I was on my own when, out of nowhere, there’s Mr. Jackson. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Instead, Mr. Jackson yelled, “Great to see you here, Alex!

D 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍英国四条著名的长途步行路线，分别说明各路线的全长、沿途风光与特色游览内容。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Hadrian’s Wall Trail部分中的“You can see the rich Roman history along the way, not just the wall itself, but also remains of important Roman forts and good museums.(沿途你可以领略丰富的罗马历史，不仅能够看到城墙本身，还可以看到重要罗马堡垒遗迹和不错的博物馆。)”可知，哈德良长城步道的特色是罗马历史。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Great Glen Way部分中的“The Great Glen Way long‑distance trail passes the foot of the UK’s highest mountain, and follows the lakeside (湖畔) of Loch Ness.(大峡谷长途步道途经英国最高山山脚，沿着尼斯湖湖畔延伸。)”以及Coast to Coast Walk部分中的“Walk this trail for the feeling of crossing England from the Irish Sea to the North Sea, and to explore the national parks of the Lake District.(行走这条步道，你可以体验从爱尔兰海横穿英格兰抵达北海，并且游览湖区国家公园。)”可知，两条路线都能够欣赏湖泊景色。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是标题“UK’s best long‑distance walks(英国最佳长途步行路线)”以及各个路线介绍可知，本文传单介绍多条长途徒步线路，适合喜爱户外活动的人，由此可以推断喜欢户外活动的Tommy会对此传单最感兴趣。 B Mark Brown is 57 years old.

With the help of the Ancient Tree Forum, the Tree Council and the Woodland Trust, he chose some special trees and spent several days observing and drawing each one. Brown has started working on a series of 20 drawings featuring Britain’s most important ash trees. “These beautiful old ash trees will soon disappear from us,” he said. “They are 350 years old, but they are dying because of a disease that we humans have spread.” “Drawing is not only an act of care, but also a call for people to protect trees,” Brown explained. “It also allows me to combine my love for nature with my creativity.” It has also given him a new perspective on the passing of time. “I am already an old man, but I am only 71 years old. Some of the trees I have drawn are 1,000 years old. When I am with these trees and drawing them, I think about the end of my own life and how short human life is — passing by in a moment beneath these ancient trees.” 4. What did Brown do at the age of 57? A. He moved into his old house. B. He found back his love for drawing from childhood. C. He had the best time of his life. D. He developed a passion for gardening. 5. What can we learn about the oak tree and Brown? A. It helped him start a new career. B. It linked him with the world. C. He built a tree house in it. D. He studied birds, insects and animals in it. 6. What is Brown working on? A. Setting up tree groups. B. Trying to find ways to cure sick trees. C. Drawing trees to ask people to protect them. D. Traveling around Britain to pick important trees. 7. What does he feel when Brown is with trees? A. Time is endless. B. Human life is short. C. Nature is always changing. D. Life-long learning is crucial. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了57岁的马克・布朗厌倦电影行业，重拾儿时绘画爱好，成为树木肖像画家，通过绘制古树呼吁大众保护树木，并感悟到人类生命的短暂。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Mark Brown is 57 years old. He had worked in the film industry for 30 years, but he gradually got tired of his job. ‘I thought things would only get worse and worse,’ he said. Brown knew he had to do something else — but what? (马克・布朗57岁。他在电影行业工作了30年，却渐渐厌倦了自己的工作。‘我觉得情况只会越来越糟，’他说。布朗知道自己必须做点别的事情——但该做什么呢？)”及第二段“A few years earlier, he had bought the house where he lived as a child and moved back in. Brown was originally thinking about making gardening his second career when another voice spoke to him deep inside. ‘All these years, that little boy who used to love drawing has been whispering softly in my heart,’ he said. A longing that he had never paid much attention to was awakened. (几年前，他买下了自己儿时居住的房子并搬了回去。布朗原本打算把园艺当作自己的第二份事业，可内心深处有另一个声音在回响。‘这么多年来，那个曾经热爱画画的小男孩一直在我心底轻声诉说，’他说。一份他从前未曾留意的渴望被唤醒了。)”可知，布朗在57岁时厌倦了电影行业，儿时热爱画画的回忆被唤醒，重新找回了童年对绘画的热爱。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“There was a huge oak tree near Brown’s home. When he was a child, the tree seemed like a magical giant to him — it was a precious home for birds, insects and animals, and there was even a hole inside it. ‘We used to squeeze through this hole to play in the tree,’ he recalled. He decided to lock himself away for two months to draw every beautiful detail of the tree. (布朗家附近有一棵巨大的橡树。小时候，这棵树对他而言就像一位充满魔力的巨人——它是鸟儿、昆虫和小动物珍贵的家园，树干上甚至还有一个树洞。‘我们过去常常挤过这个树洞，在树里面玩耍，’他回忆道。他决定闭门两个月，把这棵树所有美好的细节都画下来。)”及第四段中“The finished drawing of the oak tree was full of ‘real power,’ he said. ‘The closer you look at it, the more lifelike it seems.’ And just like that, Brown became a tree portraitist. (这幅完成的橡树画作充满了‘真实的力量’，他说，‘看得越近，画面就越栩栩如生。’就这样，布朗成为了一名树木肖像画家。)”可知，布朗通过画橡树成为了树木肖像画家，因此橡树帮助他开启了全新的事业。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Brown has started working on a series of 20 drawings featuring Britain’s most important ash trees. (布朗已经着手创作一组共20幅的画作，主题是英国最重要的白蜡树。)”及第七段中“‘Drawing is not only an act of care, but also a call for people to protect trees,’ Brown explained. (‘绘画不只是一种关爱，更是呼吁人们保护树木，’布朗解释道。)”可知，布朗正在创作以英国重要白蜡树为主题的系列画作并呼吁人们保护树木。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“I am already an old man, but I am only 71 years old. Some of the trees I have drawn are 1,000 years old. When I am with these trees and drawing them, I think about the end of my own life and how short human life is — passing by in a moment beneath these ancient trees. (我已经步入老年，但我才71岁。我画过的一些树已经有1000岁。当我陪伴这些树木、描绘它们的时候，我会思考自己生命的终点，感慨人类生命何其短暂——在这些古树之下，人的一生不过转瞬即逝。)”可知，当他和古树相处、作画时，会想到人类的生命在古树下转瞬即逝，十分短暂。 C Come up with a password that’s at least 10 characters long. It should include numbers, at least one symbol, and — just to be safe — be something you’ll remember, of course. Yes, passwords are annoying, but their days are numbered: passkeys are here to make passwords obsolete. With passkeys, you don’t have to remember or make up anything. When you sign up for a website or app, your phone or computer creates two linked keys: a public key and a private key. The public key is kept on the website’s or app’s servers. The private key — a long string of letters and numbers — is only saved on your device. When you log in, the website’s server sends a “check” to your device. Your device uses the private key to create a unique “signature” as proof. Then you use your PIN, fingerprint, or face scan to unlock your device and approve this signature. The server then matches your signature with your public key to let you in. Your private key is safe because no one can get it from the public key. Because passkeys are made for one specific website or app, they won’t work on fake sites (like ones that look like your bank’s site and try to steal your password). Passkeys also can’t be tricked by scammers who lie to get your info — since you don’t even know the passkey yourself; only your device does. Even though passkeys are one of the safest solutions ever, Jonathan S. Weissman, a cybersecurity (网络安全) expert from the Rochester Institute of Technology, says many people will keep using passwords because they’re used to them. Andrew Shikiar, director of the FIDO Alliance (an organization working on fast online identity checks), agrees that people hate change — but he thinks consumers will finally get used to this new technology. “Someday, we’ll look back at passwords the way we now look at old dial phones,” he predicts. 8. What does the underlined word “obsolete” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Out of trouble. B. Out of reach. C. Out of hand. D. Out of date. 9. What is the second paragraph mainly talking about concerning passkeys? A. What they are made of. B. How they work. C. What special features they have. D. It’s where they can be used. 10. What can be inferred about passkeys from Paragraphs 3 and 4? A. They can’t be tricked by fake sites. B. They are saved by certain apps. C. They became popular right away. D. They change by themselves to stay safe. 11. What attitude does Shikiar have towards the prospect of passkeys? A. Doubtful. B. Cautious. C. Optimistic. D. Dismissive. (不屑一顾的) 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍密钥（passkeys）这种新型登录方式的工作原理、安全优势，以及专家对于它能否取代传统密码的看法。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Yes, passwords are annoying, but their days are numbered: passkeys are here to make passwords obsolete.(没错，密码很麻烦，不过它的日子不多了：密钥的出现会让密码obsolete。)”可知，密钥会让密码被淘汰“obsolete”含义为“过时的”，与“Out of date”意思相近。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据第二段中的“When you log in, the website’s server sends a “check” to your device. Your device uses the private key to create a unique “signature” as proof. Then you use your PIN, fingerprint, or face scan to unlock your device and approve this signature. The server then matches your signature with your public key to let you in.(当你登录时，网站的服务器会向你的设备发送一个“校验”请求。你的设备利用私钥生成一个独特的“签名”作为凭证。然后，你使用PIN码、指纹或面部扫描来解锁设备并批准这个签名。接着，服务器会将你的签名与公钥进行匹配，从而允许你登录。)”可知，第二段主要讲解密钥的运行方式。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第三段中的“Because passkeys are made for one specific website or app, they won’t work on fake sites (like ones that look like your bank’s site and try to steal your password).(因为密钥是为特定的网站或应用生成的，所以在虚假网站（比如那些看起来像你的银行网站、试图窃取你密码的网站）上，它们是无法使用的。)”可知，密钥不会被虚假网站欺骗。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第五段中的“Andrew Shikiar, director of the FIDO Alliance (an organization working on fast online identity checks), agrees that people hate change — but he thinks consumers will finally get used to this new technology. “Someday, we’ll look back at passwords the way we now look at old dial phones,” he predicts.(FIDO联盟（一个致力于快速在线身份验证的组织）的负责人Andrew Shikiar也认为人们讨厌改变——但他认为消费者最终会习惯这项新技术。“总有一天，我们会像现在看待老式拨盘电话一样回顾密码时代，”他预测道。)”可知，Shikiar对密钥的前景持乐观态度。 D Power often makes employees more creative because being powerful frees them from rules and limits. However, new research shows that employees without much power can become more creative too — if they get time to “warm up” to a creative task by doing it more than once. “This is important,” said Brian Lucas, an assistant professor at Cornell University. “When more powerful people can share creative ideas more easily than less powerful ones, it creates a ‘rich-get-richer’ situation. This makes the gap between powerful and less powerful workers even bigger. So finding ways to boost (推动) less powerful workers’ creativity can help fix this unfair disadvantage,” Lucas explained. Lucas and his team did two studies to prove their point. In the first study, they split the creative task into two rounds: a 1-minute “warm-up” round, followed by a second round where participants could take as long as they wanted. The researchers randomly put people into two groups: a “high-power” group and a “low-power” group. To make people feel powerful or not, they gave different roles: those in the high-power group got a leadership role (with control over resources), while those in the low-power group got an ordinary employee role (with no control over resources). The study found that high-power people were more creative in the warm-up round. But in the second round, both groups were equally creative. In the second study, the researchers used a different creative task and increased the number of rounds from two to five. Participants could take as much time as they liked for each round. Just like the first study, high-power people were more creative in the first round. But after that, less powerful people’s creativity caught up to the high-power group’s. “The ‘warm-up effect’ for less powerful workers gives a simple solution,” Lucas said. “It helps all employees use their creative potential and reduces unfair power gaps at work: when people do creative tasks, let them warm up first.” 12. Why does Lucas think it important to boost the creativity of lower power workers? A. It maintains power imbalances. B. It makes them want to catch up. C. It creates a competitive work environment. D. It helps make the workplace fairer. 13. How did researchers make people feel powerful in the first study? A. By offering different rewards. B. By giving different roles. C. By setting different time limits. D. By giving different creative tasks. 14. What is the difference between the two studies? A. The number of participants. B. The way of giving roles. C. The type of creative tasks. D. The time length of each round. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Power makes employees much more creative. B. Less powerful workers are less creative at first. C. Warm-up time fixes the unfair creativity gap caused by power. D. Power gaps at work affect how creative employees are. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了研究表明，充足的热身时间可以消除权力带来的创造力差距，让权力较低的员工同样发挥创造力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句卢卡斯说的话中“So finding ways to boost less powerful workers’ creativity can help fix this unfair disadvantage (所以，找到方法提升权力较低的员工的创造力，有助于改善这种不公平的劣势)”可知，卢卡斯认为提升低权力员工的创造力可以消除不公，让职场更公平。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“To make people feel powerful or not, they gave different roles: those in the high-power group got a leadership role (with control over resources), while those in the low-power group got an ordinary employee role (with no control over resources). (为让受试者产生权力高低不同的感受，他们分配不同角色：高权力组担任领导角色（掌控资源），低权力组担任普通员工（无法掌控资源）。)”可知，第一项研究中，研究人员是通过分配不同角色来让参与者产生权力感差异的。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段开头“In the second study, the researchers used a different creative task and increased the number of rounds from two to five. (第二项研究，研究者更换了创造性任务，并且把轮次从两轮增加到五轮。)”可知，第二项研究使用了不同的创造性任务，并将轮次从两轮增加到五轮，因此任务类型是区别之一。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Power often makes employees more creative because being powerful frees them from rules and limits. However, new research shows that employees without much power can become more creative too — if they get time to ‘warm up’ to a creative task by doing it more than once. (权力往往会让员工更有创造力，因为拥有权力能让他们摆脱条条框框的束缚。然而新研究表明，没有多大权力的员工同样可以变得更有创造力——前提是他们有时间，通过多次练习为创造性任务做‘热身’。)”并结合全文可知，文章围绕核心发现展开：低权力员工只要获得充足的热身时间，创造力就能追上高权力员工，以此弥补因权力造成的创造力上的不公平差距。C选项“Warm-up time fixes the unfair creativity gap caused by power. (热身时间能够消除由权力造成的不公平的创造力差距。)”精准概括文章核心，符合题意。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两处为多余选项。 Today, we have an always-in-your-pocket, 24/7 news cycle. When you open a news app, you’ll notice a brief moment when the “old news” is still there. In a flash, the ancient history of a few hours ago is swept away for the next “breaking news”. ____16____ It’s endless, but you had better keep up. Researchers refer to this world with the phrase “noise bottleneck” (信息噪音瓶颈). A noise bottleneck is a situation where we are overwhelmed with so much information, or noise, that our cognitive abilities can’t keep up. ____17____ Thus, while our attention can handle hours of videos, our long-term learning processes cannot. ____18____ We watch TV while holding our phones, and we listen to music when shopping. However, the human brain may have structural limits rooted in its cognitive architecture, which cause a slowdown when two tasks are done at the same time. In short, your brain is not as good as you think it is. You are a human being who can only take in so much in a day. Understanding the noise bottleneck allows us to fix it. So, here are three tips to get you started: Clear your content — create a new social media account and follow only the accounts or people you find really valuable. Single-task — you don’t need to get rid of your phone, but do get rid of distractions. ____19____ For example, say, “I will only read this magazine after dinner.” Multitasking is for show; single-tasking is for those who are serious about getting things done. Accept your limits — you’ll never read all the news. Accept that you can only choose two or three stories and embrace that fact. ____20____ You’re getting more out of those few than that “super-productive” person on social media who claims to read five books a week. After all, it’s better to remember a little than to forget a lot. A. Give yourself a time limit or restriction if it helps. B. Every second, new information is presented to you. C. Don’t be hard on yourself for not being productive. D. Breaking through the noise bottleneck is a legendary idea. E. The matter is made worse by our modern addiction to multitasking. F. Multitasking has greatly changed the way we use information. G. Our brains have limited resources, spread across many functions. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. E 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】文章分析了信息过载导致认知超载的现象，指出多任务处理加剧了这一问题，并提出了清理内容、单任务处理和接受自身局限三条应对建议。 【16题详解】 上文“When you open a news app, you’ll notice a brief moment when the “old news” is still there. In a flash, the ancient history of a few hours ago is swept away for the next “breaking news”. (当你打开一个新闻应用时，会注意到一段短暂的时刻，那些“旧新闻”依然存在。转眼间，几小时前的历史便被彻底冲刷，取而代之的是最新的“突发新闻”。)”描述新闻应用瞬间的更替，下文“It’s endless, but you had better keep up. (这没完没了，但你最好跟上。)”感慨更新没完没了，空处应补充说明信息更新的速度。因此B项“Every second, new information is presented to you. (每一秒，新信息都呈现给你。)”符合语境，承接上文的更替，引出下文的感慨。 【17题详解】 上文“A noise bottleneck is a situation where we are overwhelmed with so much information, or noise, that our cognitive abilities can’t keep up. (信息噪音瓶颈是指我们被大量信息或噪音压倒，导致认知能力无法跟上的情况。)”给出信息噪音瓶颈的定义，说明认知能力与信息量之间的关系，下文“Thus, while our attention can handle hours of videos, our long-term learning processes cannot. (因此，尽管我们的注意力可以处理数小时的视频，但长期的学习过程却无法做到。)”描述负面结果：无法专注于长期学习，空处需要解释认知能力跟不上信息量的原因。因此G项“Our brains have limited resources, spread across many functions. (我们的大脑资源有限，分布在许多功能上。)”符合语境，承接上文揭露的关系，引出下文的结果。 【18题详解】 下文“We watch TV while holding our phones, and we listen to music when shopping. However, the human brain may have structural limits rooted in its cognitive architecture, which cause a slowdown when two tasks are done at the same time. (我们一边看电视一边拿着手机，购物时则听着音乐。然而，人类大脑可能由于其认知结构存在固有的局限性，导致同时进行两项任务时效率下降。)”举例日常生活多任务处理的场景，指出此时处理任务的速度下降，空处是段落首句，应引入多任务处理这一现象。因此E项“The matter is made worse by our modern addiction to multitasking. (我们现代对多任务处理的沉迷使情况更糟。)”承接上文对信息噪音瓶颈的讨论，引出下文的多任务例证和处理速度下降的问题。 【19题详解】 上文“Single-task — you don’t need to get rid of your phone, but do get rid of distractions. (单任务——你不需要放下手机，但需要摆脱干扰。)”建议单任务处理，摆脱干扰，下文“For example, say, “I will only read this magazine after dinner.” (例如，可以说：“我只有在晚饭后才会读这本杂志。”)”用晚饭阅读杂志举例，空处应针对建议给出一个具体操作方法。因此A项“Give yourself a time limit or restriction if it helps. (如果有用的话，给自己一个时间限制或约束。)”符合语境，承接上文的建议，与下文的时间限制契合。 【20题详解】 上文“Accept your limits — you’ll never read all the news. Accept that you can only choose two or three stories and embrace that fact. (接受你的局限——你永远无法读完所有的新闻。接受你只能选择两三个故事，并坦然面对这一事实。)”建议接受局限，有选择地读新闻，下文“You’re getting more out of those few than that “super-productive” person on social media who claims to read five books a week. (比起那些在社交媒体上声称每周读五本书的“超级高效”的人，你从这些少数中得到的更多。)”指出这种做法更让人受益，空处应鼓励读者不必追求所谓的效率。因此C项“Don’t be hard on yourself for not being productive. (不要因为自己没有效率而对自己苛刻。)”符合语境，呼应上文的建议，并引出下文的对比。 第三部分： 英语基础知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 一： 完型填空（共15 小题， 每小题 1 分，满分15分） Eli walked to school every day, a familiar routine that never failed to bring him a sense of peace.

Dad glanced at me through the rearview (后视镜) mirror. “Alex, this will be a nice opportunity for you to see your grandparents.” The car turned onto a familiar dirt road. We’re-getting farther from the city. Farther from Internet access. Farther from the computer camp. “Cheer up, Alex! There will be another computer camp soon,” said Mom. “Probably even this summer.” All my programming friends would be coding at the computer camp this week while I was stuck on the farm. I didn’t say a word. Finally, the car pulled into Granny and Granddad’s driveway. A thin line of trees came into sight. I liked visiting the farm on’ spring breaks before I started doing coding camps…and before I knew how badly I could mess things up. The car engine wasn’t off when Granny bounded (跳跃着跑) toward us. I watched from the backseat as Dad and Mom hugged Granny. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. Gravity seemed abnormally strong. ”You two deserve a vacation,” Granny was saying. “Alex will be fine — he loves being on the farm.” She meant loved. Alex loved being on the farm. During lunch Granny asked, “Why so sad, Alex?” I kept silent. Why? They’re really acting as if nothing had happened during my last visit. For a second, my eyes caught Granny’s. Could I ask her if her goats had destroyed all her next-door neighbor, Mr. Jackson’s flowers because I lifted the latch (门闩) and let out the goats? Was Mr. Jackson still angry with me for having brought him such a great loss? “I’m fine,” I mumbled (咕哝). “Just missing the coding camp this week. Coding’s just something I’m good at.” Mummy nodded. “Ahhh. That sounds disappointing, but the farm will bring you something different.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After lunch, I was on my own when, out of nowhere, there’s Mr. Jackson. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Instead, Mr. Jackson yelled, “Great to see you here, Alex! I need your help with a lamb’s birth.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After lunch, I was on my own when, out of nowhere, there’s Mr. Jackson. I was rooted at the spot. Never in my wildest dream did I expect that I would encounter Mr. Jackson here and now. I was at a loss and was ready for a bad scold. I mean, I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. Mr. Jackson approached me as my mind was racing through what happened last summer. He seemed to have totally forgotten what happened just like my Granny. Instead, Mr. Jackson yelled, “Great to see you here, Alex! I need your help with a lamb’s birth.” I rushed to his barn with him. In a series of movements, I seized a bucket, filled it with hot water and prepared towels and scissors. After meeting this newborn lamb, I heard Mr. Jackson said, “Thank you, Alex! You saved my lamb.” At least I knew how to help with a lamb’s birth, about which my programming friends might know nothing. I didn’t mess it up this time. That’s something. I finally felt relieved and regarded what happened last summer as water under the bridge. The farm did bring me something. Don’t focus on the past and seize the moment. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物Alex的情感变化和农场经历为线索展开，讲述了原本热爱编程的Alex因为错过编程营而感到失落和不满，被迫前往农场看望祖父母。在农场，他回忆起过去对这里的喜爱，但也因上次来访时的一个小失误导致内心充满挣扎。面对家人的关心询问，他最终吐露了对编程的渴望和对错过编程营的遗憾，但在农场的经历也让他开始尝试接受并享受这里的生活。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“午饭后，我独自一人，突然，不知从哪里冒出来，Mr. Jackson。”可知，第一段可描写Alex担心被Mr. Jackson责骂，但是并没有。 ②由第二段首句内容“相反，Mr. Jackson喊道：“很高兴在这里见到你，亚历克斯！我需要你帮我接生一只小羊羔。””可知，第二段可描写作者成功帮一只小羊羔接生以及感悟。 2. 续写线索：遇到Mr. Jackson——担心责骂——寻求帮助——成功帮助——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①遇到：encounter/come across ②抓住：seize/grab ③专注于：focus on/concentrate on 情绪类 ①释然的：relieved/relaxed ②不知所措：at a loss/be at a nonplus 【点睛】[高分句型1]Never in my wildest dream did I expect that I would encounter Mr. Jackson here and now.(运用了倒装句以及that引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2]At least I knew how to help with a lamb’s birth, about which my programming friends might know nothing.(运用了介词+which引导的非限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
