It was there that I met Mr. Chen, a 58-year-old master craftsman whose hands told stories of decades working with wood. While his workshop was filled with traditional tools, what he created was anything but conventional wooden furniture that perfectly blended classic craftsmanship with contemporary design. What struck me most was Mr. Chen’s unique perspective on what he called “new-era craftsmanship”. Though he learned woodworking from his father as a teenager, he never confined himself to old methods. Recognizing the changing preferences of younger customers, he spent evenings teaching himself 3D modeling software and weekends researching sustainable materials like bamboo composites and water-based finishes. I witnessed his innovative approach firsthand when a young couple asked for a custom bookshelf for their small apartment. They needed something space-efficient, eco-friendly, and easy to tear apart for potential moves. Mr. Chen embraced the challenge enthusiastically. Over the next week, he created multiple digital prototypes, experimented with three different types of wood, and reinvented traditional techniques to create interlocking joints that required no metal fasteners. I often found him working late, his experienced hands carefully testing each component. When I asked why he invested such extraordinary effort into what seemed like a simple project, he paused from his work and smiled. “True craftsmanship isn’t about blindly repeating what our ancestors did,” he explained. “It’s about understanding the essence of tradition while having the courage to adapt it for today’s world.” To illustrate his point, he showed me two bookshelves — one he made twenty years ago, beautiful in its solid construction, and the new prototype, which used thirty percent less material while being equally steady and more functional for modern living. Through Mr. Chen’s example, I came to understand that new-era craftsmanship represents the perfect marriage of dedication and innovation. It honors the past while embracing the future, proving that excellence comes not from doing one thing forever, but from doing it well with an ever-evolving spirit. 4. Why are traditional tools mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To stress Mr. Chen’s source of inspiration. B. To highlight the wisdom of past generations. C. To promote the spirit of traditional craftsmanship. D. To contrast with Mr. Chen’s modern and creative ideas. 5. Why does the author list specific requests from the young couple? A. To reveal the great skills of today’s craftsmen. B. To display the shift of traditional craftsmanship. C. To imply the need for craftsmen to go with the times. D. To distinguish modern approaches from traditional ones. 6. What does “true craftsmanship” mean in Mr. Chen’s viewpoint? A. Creating resource-efficient products. B. Persisting through testing and effort. C. Adapting traditional wisdom for modern use. D. Combining digital and traditional techniques. 7. What does Mr. Chen’s story show? A. The best of both worlds. B. Two sides of a coin. C. The value of old methods. D. The limit of newness. C For decades, marine researchers have faced major obstacles in ocean conservation. Remote, dark coastal waters shelter rare marine species, largely inaccessible to human divers. Traditional cameras perform poorly in dim conditions, and costly human surveys cover less than 3 percent of global shallow marine areas yearly. To solve these problems, a modern AI bioacoustics (生物声学的) monitoring system has been developed to boost conservation efficiency. Jointly created by environmental tech teams and marine reserves, this innovative system adopts low-cost underwater microphones to record complex ocean soundscapes. Equipped with advanced machine learning technology, it is able to identify various marine species according to their unique acoustic (声音的) features automatically. Compared with traditional approaches, it reduces survey costs by 62 percent and expands detectable sea areas by over 18 times. Inspired by dolphins’ echolocation, its bionic algorithm (算法) can block interference from waves and ship engines, accurately recognizing faint and mixed underwater sounds. In a 12-month field study off Ghana’s western coast, Dr. Lena Marquez’s team placed 46 solar-powered hydrophones (水听器). The AI uncovered three locally extinct fish species, missed by human divers’ annual searches for five years. It also locates hidden seagrass and coral habitats overlooked by humans. Guided by its data, local fishermen adopted seasonal fishing bans, raising young fish populations by 41 percent in eight months. Nevertheless, the system has two noticeable limitations. It fails to identify silent marine creatures such as shellfish with no acoustic signals. Additionally, its high-precision analysis demands steady internet access and basic digital training, which many remote island regions lack. To overcome these obstacles, researchers are optimizing offline data processing systems and offering free professional training for coastal residents in relevant regions. This bionic AI technology marks a significant breakthrough in marine ecological protection. Rather than isolating technology from natural ecosystems, it learns and follows natural biological rules to repair damaged ocean habitats. As affordable hydrophones and open-source AI programs gain global popularity, local coastal communities are empowered to guard marine resources effectively, turning abstract ocean protection theories into practical daily action. 8. What is a key advantage of the new AI system? A. It functions well in dark environment. B. It can operate without any workers on site. C. It makes marine surveys much more efficient. D. It’s able to cover less than half sea area worldwide. 9. What can we learn about the field study in Ghana? A. It improved adult fish population quickly. B. It was influenced by local fishing activities. C. It relied on human divers’ repeated searches. D. It found some previously unseen local fish species. 10. What is one shortcoming of the bioacoustic system? A. It cannot work in bright seawater. B. It is unable to detect soundless sea life. C. It ignores human fishing activities. D. It needs no digital training for users. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. AI Technology Empowers Ocean Conservation B. New Rules for Global Ocean Fishing C. Hidden Marine Habitats Discovered by Divers D. Advanced Ways to Improve Internet Service D You walk into a clothing store and spot a leather coat marked $1,800. You immediately label it extremely pricey and move on. Later that day, you find an identical coat on sale for $650, and you instantly think you have found an incredible steal. What you may not realize is that your judgment has been misled by the anchoring bias (锚定偏见). The anchoring bias was first identified by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky in their research on intuitive (直觉的) reasoning. It describes the human tendency to rely heavily on the first piece of information we encounter — called an anchor — and evaluate every subsequent detail against that fixed reference point. Consider bargaining for a second-hand vehicle. If a seller opens with a high asking price, that number becomes your mental anchor. Even if you negotiate the price far lower, you will still view the final deal as a win compared to the original figure, ignoring the car’s true market value. The opposite holds true: A surprisingly low initial offer causes the seller to undervalue their own property. This trap does not only appear in shopping; it influences salary negotiations, exam score judgments, and even predictions about global statistics. The bias exists because human brains naturally conserve mental energy. Recalculating value requires heavy cognitive effort, so we automatically lean on the first available reference point rather than conducting fully independent analysis. When we are setting plans or making estimates about something, we interpret newer information from the reference point of our anchor instead of seeing it objectively. This can affect our judgment and prevent us from updating our plans or predictions as much as we should. Avoiding the anchoring bias entirely isn’t possible, given its widespread impact and how powerful it is. Like all cognitive biases, the anchoring bias is subconscious, meaning it’s difficult to interrupt. Yet one evidence-based and straightforward strategy to fight against the anchoring bias is to come up with reasons why that anchor is inappropriate for the situation. Meanwhile, considering multiple options is always a good idea to aid in decision-making. 12. What do the underlined words “an incredible steal” in paragraph 1 mean? A. A real bargain. B. A free item. C. An identical product. D. An unexpected gift. 13. What is the cause of the anchoring bias? A. Reference point loss. B. Independent analysis. C. Brain’s energy-saving nature. D. Brain’s heavy burden. 14. What is a good way to deal with the anchoring bias? A. Ignoring its reasons. B. Weighing various choices. C. Seeking its impacts. D. Interrupting relevant thoughts. 15. What is the purpose of this article? A. To show how to bargain wisely. B. To explain a hidden mental trap. C. To warn against quick decisions. D. To criticize a common phenomenon. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Something annoying about learning: the things that make learning feel productive are usually the things that slow it down. Cramming feels great. You sit down, you grind through the material, and by the end of the session, you feel like you’ve got it. And then two weeks later — gone. ____16____ The fix is one of the most well-supported findings in learning science: spaced repetition. Instead of bunching all your practice together in one session, you spread it out over time. In the 1880s, Hermann Ebbinghaus discovered what is now called the forgetting curve. Without any review, you lose most of what you learn within a day. ____17____ Your brain is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do — filtering. You encounter an enormous amount of information every day, and your brain has to decide what matters and what doesn’t. If you only see something once and never come back to it, your brain reasonably concludes it’s not that important. ____18____ When you encounter the same material again, your brain essentially says, “Oh, this keeps coming back. Must be important.” And it invests more resources in holding onto it. Each time you successfully recall something after a gap, you reset the forgetting curve. So how long should you wait between sessions? The optimal gap is roughly 10-20% of the time you want to remember the material. For instance, you can space your practice 3-5 days apart if you are studying for a test in a month. ____19____ You’re not trying to prevent forgetting; you’re trying to practice retrieving after some forgetting has occurred. As long as you get it right, the exact intervals are less critical. You don’t need to overcomplicate this. Start with something simple and build from there. ____20____ It’s that you’re willing to do the thing that feels harder in the moment because you understand it produces better results in the long run. That’s true for spacing. Honestly, it’s true for most of learning. A. Spacing delivers a fairly different signal. B. That sounds terrible, but this isn’t a design flaw. C. This isn’t a failure of effort but a failure of strategy. D. Despite this, the science of the brain tells a different story. E. The most important thing isn’t the specific strategy you use. F. Forgetting establishes necessary conditions for stronger re-learning. G. But here’s what matters more than any specific schedule: the principle. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The walk I’d plotted was 22 miles to the coast.

Where I had hoped to see the ____32____, I saw salt marsh, like chocolate milkshake. Feeling like a bit of a fool, I headed down into the nearest marsh and left my boot prints in the mud. The seven-and-a-half-hour walk had hurt my____33____, but I’d acted on an old idea, done it, and ____34____ it off my list. I am now free to think of new ones and move on, in this dawn of possibilities we all face. Life is too short to let ideas stagnate (停滞); now’s the time to turn them to ____35____. 21.

It was a text from Angus Menzies, my best friend since childhood. Our plan to go canoeing (划独木舟) near our hometown of Ottawa was a go. We had similar canoe trips before. Whenever we hung out, we’d drum up some adventure, maybe to prove we could handle adversity. Angus and I were complementary. I can be cautious to the point of timidity, while Angus is quick to take on unknown challenges, often successfully, but sometimes with serious consequences. I felt lucky to have a lifelong friendship, where being myself with him helps me discover who I am and who I could be. Now Angus and I stood in his garage and packed our gear: paddles, two life jackets, apples and beer. “We’ll only be gone a few hours,” Angus told Robin, his wife. As I had arranged with Cornelia, I would only be gone 24 hours, a mini vacation that seemed impossibly exciting after months close to home helping care for our 2-year-old daughter. We loaded the canoe into the truck. When we pulled in at the launch spot (下水点), the beach was deserted. We pushed off into the dark blue water. Steering toward the channel, Angus said, “That’s where we’re going — the Deschenes Rapids.” Twenty minutes later the sun was beating down, the breeze gone. Soon I saw a thin white line on the water — rapids. I said that if we could see the chop from this far away, they might be dangerous and we should check them before venturing on. Angus pushed to keep going, and I agreed. Before long we heard a deep rumbling, the sound of the rapids. I prickled with fear, but we pressed on. A few minutes later, we crossed a line of small red buoys that neither of us recognized as our last warning. The water turned from deep blue to brown. We paddled over a 3-foot swell (涌浪) and came down with a smack as a bigger wave sped toward us. We hit it high and at an angle. As the canoe tipped over, I leaped clear, hitting the cold, rushing water, my glasses and shoes gone. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As if out of another dimension, I heard Angus’s calm and confident voice, “Hold on to the canoe.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We yelled and whistled, and the boat, piloted by Robin and the firemen, came over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 杭州二中高三年级2026学年第一学期10月月考卷 英语试题卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

(参与者需提前提交一份简短的写作样本作为预订)”以及Family Event: Tales from the River部分中的“Admission is free, but tickets must be booked in advance owing to limited capacity.(入场免费，但由于容纳人数有限，门票需提前预订)”可知，这两个活动的共同点是都需要提前预订。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Following a record-breaking summer, Riverside Arts Centre returns with an autumn programme that balances crowd favourites with less familiar offerings. (在创下纪录的夏季之后，河畔艺术中心推出秋季活动计划，将观众最喜爱的项目与不太熟悉的内容巧妙结合)”并结合全文可知，文章主要介绍了河畔艺术中心2026年秋季活动的公告（包括展览、戏剧、研讨会和家庭活动）的具体信息，如时间、内容、票价及注意事项等。因此，本文的主要目的是提供有关即将举行的活动的信息。 B Last summer, I volunteered at a small woodworking studio in the old part of our city. It was there that I met Mr. Chen, a 58-year-old master craftsman whose hands told stories of decades working with wood. While his workshop was filled with traditional tools, what he created was anything but conventional wooden furniture that perfectly blended classic craftsmanship with contemporary design. What struck me most was Mr. Chen’s unique perspective on what he called “new-era craftsmanship”. Though he learned woodworking from his father as a teenager, he never confined himself to old methods. Recognizing the changing preferences of younger customers, he spent evenings teaching himself 3D modeling software and weekends researching sustainable materials like bamboo composites and water-based finishes. I witnessed his innovative approach firsthand when a young couple asked for a custom bookshelf for their small apartment. They needed something space-efficient, eco-friendly, and easy to tear apart for potential moves. Mr. Chen embraced the challenge enthusiastically. Over the next week, he created multiple digital prototypes, experimented with three different types of wood, and reinvented traditional techniques to create interlocking joints that required no metal fasteners. I often found him working late, his experienced hands carefully testing each component. When I asked why he invested such extraordinary effort into what seemed like a simple project, he paused from his work and smiled. “True craftsmanship isn’t about blindly repeating what our ancestors did,” he explained. “It’s about understanding the essence of tradition while having the courage to adapt it for today’s world.” To illustrate his point, he showed me two bookshelves — one he made twenty years ago, beautiful in its solid construction, and the new prototype, which used thirty percent less material while being equally steady and more functional for modern living. Through Mr. Chen’s example, I came to understand that new-era craftsmanship represents the perfect marriage of dedication and innovation. It honors the past while embracing the future, proving that excellence comes not from doing one thing forever, but from doing it well with an ever-evolving spirit. 4. Why are traditional tools mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To stress Mr. Chen’s source of inspiration. B. To highlight the wisdom of past generations. C. To promote the spirit of traditional craftsmanship. D. To contrast with Mr. Chen’s modern and creative ideas. 5. Why does the author list specific requests from the young couple? A. To reveal the great skills of today’s craftsmen. B. To display the shift of traditional craftsmanship. C. To imply the need for craftsmen to go with the times. D. To distinguish modern approaches from traditional ones. 6. What does “true craftsmanship” mean in Mr. Chen’s viewpoint? A. Creating resource-efficient products. B. Persisting through testing and effort. C. Adapting traditional wisdom for modern use. D. Combining digital and traditional techniques. 7. What does Mr. Chen’s story show? A. The best of both worlds. B. Two sides of a coin. C. The value of old methods. D. The limit of newness. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了木工大师陈先生融合传统工艺与现代设计，诠释新时代工匠精神：尊重传统内核，同时勇于创新、适配当代需求。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“While his workshop was filled with traditional tools, what he created was anything but conventional wooden furniture that perfectly blended classic craftsmanship with contemporary design. (虽然工作室摆满传统工具，但他制作的家具一点不落俗套，将传统工艺与现代设计完美融合)”可知，提到传统工具，是为了和陈先生现代、富有创意的想法形成对比。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“They needed something space-efficient, eco-friendly, and easy to tear apart for potential moves. (他们需要节省空间、环保，且在有搬家需求时便于拆解的家具)”可知，作者列举年轻夫妇的个性化新需求，说明客户需求已经改变，暗示工匠需要顺应时代变化，满足当代客户。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““True craftsmanship isn’t about blindly repeating what our ancestors did,” he explained. “It’s about understanding the essence of tradition while having the courage to adapt it for today’s world.” (他解释道：“真正的工匠精神不是盲目复刻祖先做法，而是理解传统精髓，并有勇气将其适配当今世界。”)”可知，在陈先生看来真正的工匠精神是把传统智慧改造，应用于现代。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Through Mr. Chen’s example, I came to understand that new-era craftsmanship represents the perfect marriage of dedication and innovation. It honors the past while embracing the future (通过陈先生的例子，我明白了新时代工匠精神是坚守与创新的完美结合，致敬过去同时拥抱未来)”以及通读全文可知，陈先生的故事体现兼顾传统与创新，两全其美。 C For decades, marine researchers have faced major obstacles in ocean conservation. Remote, dark coastal waters shelter rare marine species, largely inaccessible to human divers. Traditional cameras perform poorly in dim conditions, and costly human surveys cover less than 3 percent of global shallow marine areas yearly. To solve these problems, a modern AI bioacoustics (生物声学的) monitoring system has been developed to boost conservation efficiency. Jointly created by environmental tech teams and marine reserves, this innovative system adopts low-cost underwater microphones to record complex ocean soundscapes. Equipped with advanced machine learning technology, it is able to identify various marine species according to their unique acoustic (声音的) features automatically. Compared with traditional approaches, it reduces survey costs by 62 percent and expands detectable sea areas by over 18 times. Inspired by dolphins’ echolocation, its bionic algorithm (算法) can block interference from waves and ship engines, accurately recognizing faint and mixed underwater sounds. In a 12-month field study off Ghana’s western coast, Dr. Lena Marquez’s team placed 46 solar-powered hydrophones (水听器). The AI uncovered three locally extinct fish species, missed by human divers’ annual searches for five years. It also locates hidden seagrass and coral habitats overlooked by humans. Guided by its data, local fishermen adopted seasonal fishing bans, raising young fish populations by 41 percent in eight months. Nevertheless, the system has two noticeable limitations. It fails to identify silent marine creatures such as shellfish with no acoustic signals. Additionally, its high-precision analysis demands steady internet access and basic digital training, which many remote island regions lack. To overcome these obstacles, researchers are optimizing offline data processing systems and offering free professional training for coastal residents in relevant regions. This bionic AI technology marks a significant breakthrough in marine ecological protection. Rather than isolating technology from natural ecosystems, it learns and follows natural biological rules to repair damaged ocean habitats. As affordable hydrophones and open-source AI programs gain global popularity, local coastal communities are empowered to guard marine resources effectively, turning abstract ocean protection theories into practical daily action. 8. What is a key advantage of the new AI system? A. It functions well in dark environment. B. It can operate without any workers on site. C. It makes marine surveys much more efficient. D. It’s able to cover less than half sea area worldwide. 9. What can we learn about the field study in Ghana? A. It improved adult fish population quickly. B. It was influenced by local fishing activities. C. It relied on human divers’ repeated searches. D. It found some previously unseen local fish species. 10. What is one shortcoming of the bioacoustic system? A. It cannot work in bright seawater. B. It is unable to detect soundless sea life. C. It ignores human fishing activities. D. It needs no digital training for users. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. AI Technology Empowers Ocean Conservation B. New Rules for Global Ocean Fishing C. Hidden Marine Habitats Discovered by Divers D. Advanced Ways to Improve Internet Service 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种仿生AI生物声学监测系统，借助水下麦克风与机器学习自动识别海洋物种、大幅降本增效并扩大探测范围，虽有无声生物难识别等局限，仍持续优化以赋能全球海洋生态保护。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“To solve these problems, a modern AI bioacoustics (生物声学的) monitoring system has been developed to boost conservation efficiency. (为了解决这些问题，一种现代AI生物声学监测系统被研发出来以提升保护效率)”以及第二段“Compared with traditional approaches, it reduces survey costs by 62 percent and expands detectable sea areas by over 18 times. (与传统方法相比，它将调查成本降低62%，并将可探测海域扩大超过18倍)”可知，该系统的一个关键优势是使海洋调查变得更加高效。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The AI uncovered three locally extinct fish species, missed by human divers’ annual searches for five years. (人工智能发现了三种当地被认为灭绝的鱼类，这些鱼类在人类潜水员五年的年度搜索中被遗漏)”可知，这次实地研究发现了一些此前人类未曾见到的(被认为已灭绝的)当地鱼类物种。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Nevertheless, the system has two noticeable limitations. It fails to identify silent marine creatures such as shellfish with no acoustic signals. (然而，该系统有两个明显的局限性。它无法识别没有声音信号的无声海洋生物，如贝类)”可知，其短板是无法探测到无声的海洋生物。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段引出AI生物声学监测系统在海洋保护中的应用，第二、三段介绍了其工作原理、优势和在加纳的成功实践，第四段指出其局限性及解决办法，最后一段总结该AI技术是海洋生态保护的重大突破。全文核心围绕“AI技术如何助力海洋保护”展开，因此“AI技术赋能海洋保护”最适合作为本文标题。 D You walk into a clothing store and spot a leather coat marked $1,800. You immediately label it extremely pricey and move on. Later that day, you find an identical coat on sale for $650, and you instantly think you have found an incredible steal. What you may not realize is that your judgment has been misled by the anchoring bias (锚定偏见). The anchoring bias was first identified by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky in their research on intuitive (直觉的) reasoning. It describes the human tendency to rely heavily on the first piece of information we encounter — called an anchor — and evaluate every subsequent detail against that fixed reference point. Consider bargaining for a second-hand vehicle. If a seller opens with a high asking price, that number becomes your mental anchor. Even if you negotiate the price far lower, you will still view the final deal as a win compared to the original figure, ignoring the car’s true market value. The opposite holds true: A surprisingly low initial offer causes the seller to undervalue their own property. This trap does not only appear in shopping; it influences salary negotiations, exam score judgments, and even predictions about global statistics. The bias exists because human brains naturally conserve mental energy. Recalculating value requires heavy cognitive effort, so we automatically lean on the first available reference point rather than conducting fully independent analysis. When we are setting plans or making estimates about something, we interpret newer information from the reference point of our anchor instead of seeing it objectively. This can affect our judgment and prevent us from updating our plans or predictions as much as we should. Avoiding the anchoring bias entirely isn’t possible, given its widespread impact and how powerful it is. Like all cognitive biases, the anchoring bias is subconscious, meaning it’s difficult to interrupt. Yet one evidence-based and straightforward strategy to fight against the anchoring bias is to come up with reasons why that anchor is inappropriate for the situation. Meanwhile, considering multiple options is always a good idea to aid in decision-making. 12. What do the underlined words “an incredible steal” in paragraph 1 mean? A. A real bargain. B. A free item. C. An identical product. D. An unexpected gift. 13. What is the cause of the anchoring bias? A. Reference point loss. B. Independent analysis. C. Brain’s energy-saving nature. D. Brain’s heavy burden. 14. What is a good way to deal with the anchoring bias? A. Ignoring its reasons. B. Weighing various choices. C. Seeking its impacts. D. Interrupting relevant thoughts. 15. What is the purpose of this article? A. To show how to bargain wisely. B. To explain a hidden mental trap. C. To warn against quick decisions. D. To criticize a common phenomenon. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了锚定偏见的定义、成因、影响场景，说明无法完全规避该认知偏差，给出应对策略，解释这一常见心理陷阱。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段划线词上文语境“You walk into a clothing store and spot a leather coat marked $1,800. You immediately label it extremely pricey and move on. Later that day, you find an identical coat on sale for $650,(你走进一家服装店，看到一件标价1800美元的皮大衣，立刻觉得价格太高，便转身离开。当天晚些时候，你又发现同款大衣正在打折，售价只有650美元……)”可知，你最初看到一件皮衣标价1800美元觉得极贵，后来发现同一件衣服降价到650美元，巨大的价格落差会让你立刻觉得捡到了大便宜。由此可知，该划线短语意思是：真正划算的交易/便宜货。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The bias exists because human brains naturally conserve mental energy. Recalculating value requires heavy cognitive effort, so we automatically lean on the first available reference point rather than conducting fully independent analysis. (这种偏差的存在是因为人类大脑天生倾向于节省精神能量。重新计算价值需要耗费大量认知努力，因此我们往往会自动依赖第一个可用的参考点，而不是进行完全独立的分析)”可知，锚定偏见产生的原因是大脑具有节能的本性。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段末句“Meanwhile, considering multiple options is always a good idea to aid in decision-making.(同时，考虑多种选择总是辅助决策的好主意)”可知，应对锚定偏见的一个好方法是考虑多个选项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“What you may not realize is that your judgment has been misled by the anchoring bias (锚定偏见).(你可能没有意识到的是，你的判断受到了锚定偏见的误导)”并通读全文可知，文章通过购物、买车等生活实例引出了“锚定偏见（anchoring bias）”这一概念，并详细解释了这种心理现象的定义、产生原因以及应对策略。第三段中“This trap does not only appear in shopping; ...(这个陷阱不仅出现在购物中；……)”提出，这种现象是一种心理陷阱。因此，本文的主要目的是向读者解释一种隐藏的心理陷阱。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Something annoying about learning: the things that make learning feel productive are usually the things that slow it down. Cramming feels great. You sit down, you grind through the material, and by the end of the session, you feel like you’ve got it. And then two weeks later — gone. ____16____ The fix is one of the most well-supported findings in learning science: spaced repetition. Instead of bunching all your practice together in one session, you spread it out over time. In the 1880s, Hermann Ebbinghaus discovered what is now called the forgetting curve. Without any review, you lose most of what you learn within a day. ____17____ Your brain is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do — filtering. You encounter an enormous amount of information every day, and your brain has to decide what matters and what doesn’t. If you only see something once and never come back to it, your brain reasonably concludes it’s not that important. ____18____ When you encounter the same material again, your brain essentially says, “Oh, this keeps coming back. Must be important.” And it invests more resources in holding onto it. Each time you successfully recall something after a gap, you reset the forgetting curve. So how long should you wait between sessions? The optimal gap is roughly 10-20% of the time you want to remember the material. For instance, you can space your practice 3-5 days apart if you are studying for a test in a month. ____19____ You’re not trying to prevent forgetting; you’re trying to practice retrieving after some forgetting has occurred. As long as you get it right, the exact intervals are less critical. You don’t need to overcomplicate this. Start with something simple and build from there. ____20____ It’s that you’re willing to do the thing that feels harder in the moment because you understand it produces better results in the long run. That’s true for spacing. Honestly, it’s true for most of learning. A. Spacing delivers a fairly different signal. B. That sounds terrible, but this isn’t a design flaw. C. This isn’t a failure of effort but a failure of strategy. D. Despite this, the science of the brain tells a different story. E. The most important thing isn’t the specific strategy you use. F. Forgetting establishes necessary conditions for stronger re-learning. G. But here’s what matters more than any specific schedule: the principle. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】文章指出死记硬背效率低下，介绍间隔重复学习法，解释大脑遗忘筛选机制，说明合理间隔复习能强化记忆，强调学习重在遵循原理而非纠结固定时间表。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Something annoying about learning: the things that make learning feel productive are usually the things that slow it down. Cramming feels great. You sit down, you grind through the material, and by the end of the session, you feel like you’ve got it. And then two weeks later — gone.(学习过程中存在一个令人烦恼的现象：那些让人觉得学习有成效的事情往往恰恰会拖慢学习进度。临时抱佛脚的感觉很棒。你坐下来，埋头苦学相关内容，到学习结束时，你会觉得自己掌握了这些知识。然而，两周之后——全都没了)”可知，第一段提到突击学习短期感觉有效，但两周后知识全部遗忘，后文引出间隔重复的正确学习策略，C选项“这不是努力的失败，而是策略的失败”承接上文问题，引出下文解决方案。 【17题详解】 根据后文“Your brain is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do — filtering. You encounter an enormous amount of information every day, and your brain has to decide what matters and what doesn’t. If you only see something once and never come back to it, your brain reasonably concludes it’s not that important.(你的大脑正在正常地发挥其功能——进行筛选。每天你都会接触到大量的信息，而你的大脑必须决定哪些信息重要，哪些不重要。如果你只看到某件事一次，然后就不再去关注它，那么你的大脑会合理地得出结论：这件事其实并不那么重要)”以及前文提到不复习一天内就会遗忘大部分知识可知，遗忘是大脑正常的过滤功能，B选项“这听起来很糟糕，但这不是设计缺陷”承接上文遗忘现象，引出下文对遗忘合理性的解释。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Your brain is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do — filtering. You encounter an enormous amount of information every day, and your brain has to decide what matters and what doesn’t. If you only see something once and never come back to it, your brain reasonably concludes it’s not that important.(你的大脑正在正常地发挥其功能——进行筛选。每天你都会接触到大量的信息，而你的大脑必须决定哪些信息重要，哪些不重要。如果你只看到某件事一次，然后就不再去关注它，那么你的大脑会合理地得出结论：这件事其实并不那么重要)”以及后文“When you encounter the same material again, your brain essentially says, “Oh, this keeps coming back. Must be important.” And it invests more resources in holding onto it. Each time you successfully recall something after a gap, you reset the forgetting curve.(当你再次接触到同样的内容时，你的大脑会这样想：“哦，这个总是反复出现。肯定很重要。”于是它会投入更多资源来记住它。每次在间隔一段时间后成功回忆起某件事，你都会重新调整遗忘曲线)”可知，前文提到只接触一次的内容，大脑会判定为不重要；后文提到再次接触同一内容，大脑会判定为重要，A选项“间隔复习传递了相当不同的信号”衔接前后两种不同的大脑判断，符合逻辑。 【19题详解】 根据上文“So how long should you wait between sessions? The optimal gap is roughly 10-20% of the time you want to remember the material. For instance, you can space your practice 3-5 days apart if you are studying for a test in a month.(那么，每次学习之间应该间隔多久呢？最佳间隔时间大约是您想要记住所学内容所需时间的10%至20%。例如，如果您要在一个月后参加考试，可以将练习安排在3至5天之后进行)”以及后文“You’re not trying to prevent forgetting; you’re trying to practice retrieving after some forgetting has occurred. As long as you get it right, the exact intervals are less critical.(你并非是为了防止遗忘而努力；而是为了在遗忘发生之后能够重新获取记忆。只要方法得当，具体的间隔时间就不太重要了)”可知，前文介绍了间隔复习的最优时间安排，后文指出具体间隔远没有原则重要，G选项“但比任何具体日程更重要的是核心原则”转折引出下文对原则的解释，符合逻辑。 【20题详解】 根据上文“You don’t need to overcomplicate this. Start with something simple and build from there.(你无需把这件事搞得过于复杂。先从简单的事情做起，然后逐步推进)”可知，前文指出间隔重复不需要复杂化，后文用“It’s that...”点明核心是什么，E选项“最重要的不是你用的具体策略”对应后文的转折，构成“不是……而是……”的逻辑，符合语义。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The walk I’d plotted was 22 miles to the coast.

It was a text from Angus Menzies, my best friend since childhood. Our plan to go canoeing (划独木舟) near our hometown of Ottawa was a go. We had similar canoe trips before. Whenever we hung out, we’d drum up some adventure, maybe to prove we could handle adversity. Angus and I were complementary. I can be cautious to the point of timidity, while Angus is quick to take on unknown challenges, often successfully, but sometimes with serious consequences. I felt lucky to have a lifelong friendship, where being myself with him helps me discover who I am and who I could be. Now Angus and I stood in his garage and packed our gear: paddles, two life jackets, apples and beer. “We’ll only be gone a few hours,” Angus told Robin, his wife. As I had arranged with Cornelia, I would only be gone 24 hours, a mini vacation that seemed impossibly exciting after months close to home helping care for our 2-year-old daughter. We loaded the canoe into the truck. When we pulled in at the launch spot (下水点), the beach was deserted. We pushed off into the dark blue water. Steering toward the channel, Angus said, “That’s where we’re going — the Deschenes Rapids.” Twenty minutes later the sun was beating down, the breeze gone. Soon I saw a thin white line on the water — rapids. I said that if we could see the chop from this far away, they might be dangerous and we should check them before venturing on. Angus pushed to keep going, and I agreed. Before long we heard a deep rumbling, the sound of the rapids. I prickled with fear, but we pressed on. A few minutes later, we crossed a line of small red buoys that neither of us recognized as our last warning. The water turned from deep blue to brown. We paddled over a 3-foot swell (涌浪) and came down with a smack as a bigger wave sped toward us. We hit it high and at an angle. As the canoe tipped over, I leaped clear, hitting the cold, rushing water, my glasses and shoes gone. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As if out of another dimension, I heard Angus’s calm and confident voice, “Hold on to the canoe.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We yelled and whistled, and the boat, piloted by Robin and the firemen, came over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As if out of another dimension, I heard Angus’s calm and confident voice, “Hold on to the canoe.” Instinctively, I grabbed the edge, my fingers numb with cold. The current dragged us downstream, but Angus’s steady breathing kept me calm. “Kick toward the shore,” he shouted. I followed his rhythm, my legs heavy but determined. After what felt like hours, my feet touched the muddy bottom. We crawled onto the bank, shivering and breathless. I looked at Angus, pale but grinning. “You lost your glasses,” he said. I laughed, relief washing over me. We had survived. We yelled and whistled, and the boat, piloted by Robin and the firemen, came over. Robin threw us blankets and helped us aboard. “You two are crazy,” she said, half angry, half relieved. Angus just shrugged. Back home, I realized how close we had come to disaster. But I also felt a strange sense of peace. With Angus beside me, even the most frightening moments became bearable. That day, I learned that true friendship is not about avoiding danger together, but about facing it side by side. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者和好友Angus划独木舟探险为线索展开，讲述了两人挑战急流Deschenes Rapids，独木舟翻覆，两人落入冰冷湍急河水中的遇险故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者听到Angus冷静的呼喊，立刻抓住独木舟边缘。冰冷河水让手指麻木，水流裹挟二人向下游漂。在Angus的指挥下，两人努力朝岸边蹬水，最终挣扎爬上岸，浑身发抖，侥幸生还。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写二人吹哨呼喊，Robin和消防员驾驶救援船赶来。Robin送上毯子，一边嗔怪一边松了口气。经历这次险情，作者感悟到真正的友谊不是一同规避危险，而是并肩直面危难。 2. 续写线索： 抓住独木舟→随水流漂流→听从指挥奋力向岸→爬上岸，死里逃生→呼喊引来救援船→获救，感悟友谊真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：grab/seize/grasp/grip ②拖拽：drag/haul ③颤抖：shiver/tremble 情绪类 ①令人害怕的：frightening/terrifying ②可忍受的：bearable/tolerable 【点睛】【高分句型1】I laughed, relief washing over me.
