The numbers presented in the sequence are called the terms. The Fibonacci sequence (斐波那契数列) is one of its type where each number is the sum of the two that precede it. It starts from 1 and 1, given by 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, and so on. Its general formula is: Humans have probably known about this numerical sequence for millennia: it can be first found in medieval Indian mathematics. In the 13th century, the Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, also known as Fibonacci, introduced the Arabic Numerals which replaced Roman Numerals and carried out a thought experiment: he wanted to figure out the growth of an idealized (biologically unrealistic) rabbit population, assuming that a single newly born pair of rabbits (one male, one female) are put in a field, and that each pair produces one new pair (one male, one female) every month from the second month onwards. The result of this experiment is shown in Picture 1. Is there a magic equation to the universe? Probably not, but there are some pretty common ones that we find over and over in the natural world. The Fibonacci numbers must be a typical example. When we take any two successive (one after the other) Fibonacci numbers, their ratio is very close to the Golden Ratio, which is approximately 0.618, as shown in Table 1. In fact, the bigger the pair of Fibonacci numbers, the closer the approximation. Let us try a few: When we make squares with those widths and make a quarter turn in each of the square, we get a nice spiral (as shown in Picture 2), which we call Fibonacci spiral. Look at the array of seeds in the center of a sunflower and you’ll notice what looks like spiral patterns curving left and right. Amazingly, if you count these spirals, your total will be a series of Fibonacci numbers. You can decipher spiral patterns in pine-cones, pineapples and cauliflower that also reflect the Fibonacci sequence in this manner. Such a spiral can actually be found in more places in nature, from the curve of a nautilus shell to the twist of a typhoon or hurricane. What a coincidence! The Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio are not just mathematical curiosities — they offer a fascinating connection between figures and reality. Sometimes a coincidence is just a coincidence, but coincidence is really beautiful! 21. Which of the following statements about the Fibonacci sequence is TRUE? A. It begins with the number 0 and 1. B. It is defined as an unordered list of number. C. The general formula was created by mathematician Leonardo of Pisa D. Each term is generated by adding the two terms immediately before it. 22. What can we learn about the Fibonacci sequence? A. It originated from ancient India. B. More examples are needed to prove it. C. No flower’s petal number breaks the sequence. D. Fibonacci found it via an experiment on rabbits. 23. Which statement is the author probably in favor of? A. There is absolutely no magic equation to the universe. B. The natural world is dominated by mathematical patterns. C. Mathematics is one of the windows into the beauty of nature. D. A chain of evidence can prove the laws in this objective world. 【答案】21. D 22. A 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍斐波那契数列的定义、起源，它和黄金比例的关系，该数列大量出现在自然界，展现数学与现实之间奇妙的联系。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The Fibonacci sequence (斐波那契数列) is one of its type where each number is the sum of the two that precede it. (斐波那契数列就是其中一类数列，其中每个数字是它前面两个数字之和。)”可知，每一项由紧邻的前两项相加得到。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Humans have probably known about this numerical sequence for millennia: it can be first found in medieval Indian mathematics. (人类了解这一数列可能已有数千年：它最早见于中世纪印度数学。)”可知，斐波那契数列起源于古印度。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的例子和最后一段“The Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio are not just mathematical curiosities — they offer a fascinating connection between figures and reality. (斐波那契数列和黄金比例不仅仅是数学奇物，它们搭建起数字与现实之间奇妙的联系。)”可知，数学是领略自然之美的一扇窗口。 B Sophie became friends with the gray squirrels during her first week at Penn State, after spotting them running around and wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads. Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”. Sophie tried bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do something to lift their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Sophie and her squirrels became an Internet sensation (轰动). Growing up in a neighborhood outside of State College, Sophie was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn’t interact with people very much. She was later diagnosed (诊断) with Asperger's syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels help me break the ice, because I’ll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said, “I am a lot more outgoing.” And in case you’re wondering how Sophie is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they’ll grab it. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though. This year, Sophie is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Sophie plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can. 24. What can we infer from the passage? A. Sophie was fonder of squirrels than any other animals. B. Sophie is known as the “Squirrel Girl” in the community. C. Sophie and squirrels received great attention on the Internet. D. Sophie wishes to educate people on how to protect the animals. 25. What can we learn about Sophie according to paragraph 3? A. She was more outgoing than before. B. She got lots of friends due to squirrels. C. She lived in the far countryside when young. D. She used to be a popular girl in her childhood. 26. How did Sophie manage to take photos of squirrels wearing hats? A. By dressing like squirrels. B. By putting them in cages. C. By playing music to them. D. By attracting them with food. 27. What do you think of Sophie? A. Patient and caring. B. Tolerant and strong. C. Sociable and healthy. D. Traditional and hard-working. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了苏菲和灰松鼠成了朋友，通过和松鼠的交流改变了自己的性格完成了学业的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The response was greatly positive, and before long Sophie and her squirrels became an Internet sensation (轰动).”（反应非常积极，不久苏菲和她的松鼠就在网上引起了轰动。）可知，苏菲和松鼠在网上受到了极大的关注。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““The squirrels help me break the ice, because I’ll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said, “I am a lot more outgoing.””（“松鼠帮我打破僵局，因为我会坐在这里拍松鼠，其他人会过来，我们就开始一起喂松鼠，聊它们，”她说，“我更外向了。”）可知，苏菲比以前更外向了。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“And in case you’re wondering how Sophie is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they’ll grab it.”（如果你想知道苏菲是如何让松鼠为她的照片做她想做的事情的，这与食物有很大关系。例如，每当她想让它们拿东西或玩东西时，她会把花生酱放在道具上，它们会抓住它。）可知，苏菲是通过食物吸引松鼠，给松鼠戴上帽子拍照的。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.”（一开始，她会把花生扔到校园的树上，并邀请松鼠下来拿，但松鼠不愿接近她。不过，她有耐心赢得它们的信任。）以及最后一段“As for her furry friends, Sophie plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.”（至于她的毛茸茸的朋友们，苏菲计划留在这个地区，尽可能多地拜访它们。）可知，苏菲有耐心赢得松鼠的信任，并且会尽可能关心动物们，所以苏菲是有耐心的和爱心的。故选A项。 C In our information-driven society, shaping our worldview through the media is similar to forming an opinion about someone solely based on a picture of their foot. While the media might not deliberately deceive us, it often fails to provide a comprehensive view of reality. Consequently, the question arises: Where, then, shall we get our information from if not from the media? Who can we trust? How about experts—people who devote their working lives to understanding their chosen slice of the world? However, even experts can fall prey to the allure of oversimplification, leading to the “single perspective instinct” that hampers(阻碍)our ability to grasp the intricacies of the world. Simple ideas can be appealing because they offer a sense of understanding and certainty. And it is easy to take off down a slippery slope, from one attention-grabbing simple idea to a feeling that this idea beautifully explains, or is the beautiful solution for, lots of other things. The world becomes simple that way. Yet, when we embrace a singular cause or solution for all problems, we risk oversimplifying complex issues. For instance, championing the concept of equality may lead us to view all problems through the lens of inequality and see resource distribution as the sole panacea. However, such rigidity prevents us from seeing the multidimensional nature of challenges and hinders true comprehension of reality. This “single perspective instinct” ultimately clouds our judgment and restricts our capacity to tackle complex issues effectively. It saves a lot of time to think like this. You can have opinions and answers without having to learn about a problem from scratch and you can get on with using your brain for other tasks. But it’s not so useful if you like to understand the world. Being always in favor of or always against any particular idea makes you blind to information that doesn’t fit your perspective. This is usually a bad approach if you would like to understand reality. Instead, constantly test your favorite ideas for weaknesses. Be humble about the extent of your expertise. Be curious about new information that doesn’t fit, and information from other fields. And rather than talking only to people who agree with you, or collecting examples that fit your ideas, consult people who contradict you, disagree with you, and put forward different ideas as a great resource for understanding the world. I have been wrong about the world so many times. Sometimes, coming up against reality is what helps me see my mistakes, but often it is talking to, and trying to understand, someone with different ideas. If this means you don’t have time to form so many opinions, so what? Wouldn’t you rather have few opinions that are right than many that are wrong? 28. What does the underlined word “allure” in Para.2 probably mean? A. Temptation. B. Tradition. C. Convenience. D. Consequence. 29. Why are simple ideas appealing according to the passage? A. They meet people’s demand for high efficiency. B. They generate a sense of complete understanding. C. They are raised and supported by multiple experts. D. They reflect the opinions of like-minded individuals. 30. What will the author probably agree with? A. Simplifying matters releases energy for human brains. B. Constant tests on our ideas help make up for our weakness. C. A well-founded opinion counts more than many shallow ones. D. People who disagree with us often have comprehensive views. 31. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. Embracing Disagreement: Refusing Overcomplexity B. Simplifying Information: Enhancing Comprehension C. Understanding Differences: Establishing Relationships D. Navigating Complexity: Challenging Oversimplification 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。短文主要讲述了在信息驱动的社会中，塑造我们的世界观经常无法提供全面的现实视角。简单的想法可能很吸引人，但是我们会冒着过度简化复杂问题的风险，最终会影响我们的判断力，限制我们有效解决复杂问题的能力。我们应该与持有不同观点的人交谈并试图理解他们的观点，形成正确的观点。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“However, even experts can fall prey to the allure of oversimplification, leading to the “single perspective instinct” that hampers(阻碍)our ability to grasp the intricacies of the world. (然而，即使是专家也会受到过度简化的allure，导致“单一视角本能”， 阻碍我们掌握世界的复杂性。)”可知，导致了单一视觉，不能掌握世界的复杂性，因此推断受到了过度简化的诱惑，allure在这里指的是“诱惑”。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Simple ideas can be appealing because they offer a sense of understanding and certainty. (简单的想法可能很有吸引力，因为它们提供了一种理解和确定性。)”可知，简单的想法具有吸引力是因为它们产生一种完全理解的感觉。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Instead, constantly test your favorite ideas for weaknesses. Be humble about the extent of your expertise. Be curious about new information that doesn’t fit, and information from other fields. And rather than talking only to people who agree with you, or collecting examples that fit your ideas, consult people who contradict you, disagree with you, and put forward different ideas as a great resource for understanding the world.(相反，要不断测试你最喜欢的想法的弱点。对自己的专业知识要谦虚。对不合适的新信息和来自其他领域的信息保持好奇。而不是只与那些同意你的人交谈，或者收集符合你想法的例子，咨询那些反驳你、不同意你的人，并提出不同想法的人，作为理解世界的重要资源。)”可推断，作者认为要不断测试自己的想法，要谦虚，要保持好奇，不要只是与同意自己观点的人交谈，要与那些与持有与自己不同观点的人交流，接受不同的观点，作为理解世界的重要资源。因此推断作者认为有充分根据的观点比许多肤浅的观点更重要。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段内容“In our information-driven society, shaping our worldview through the media is similar to forming an opinion about someone solely based on a picture of their foot. While the media might not deliberately deceive us, it often fails to provide a comprehensive view of reality.( 在信息驱动的社会中，通过媒体塑造我们的世界观就像仅仅根据一个人的脚的照片来形成对他们的看法一样，但它经常无法提供全面的现实视角。)”，第二段的“However, even experts can fall prey to the allure of oversimplification, leading to the “single perspective instinct” that hampers(阻碍)our ability to grasp the intricacies of the world.(然而，即使是专家也会受到过度简化的诱惑，导致“单一视角本能”，阻碍我们掌握世界的复杂性。)”以及倒数第三的“And rather than talking only to people who agree with you, or collecting examples that fit your ideas, consult people who contradict you, disagree with you, and put forward different ideas as a great resource for understanding the world. (与其只与那些同意你的人交谈，或者收集符合你想法的例子，不如咨询那些反驳你、不同意你的人，并提出不同想法的人，作为理解世界的重要资源。)”以及全文内容可知，本文作者主要提出“单一视角本能”最终会影响我们的判断力，限制我们有效解决复杂问题的能力，我们应该接受不同的观点，作为理解世界的重要资源。因此D项“驾驭复杂性:挑战过度简化”为最佳标题。故选D。 D In college, I was taught an elegant theory of chemical combination based on excess electrons going into holes in the orbital shell of a neighbouring atom. But what about diatomic compounds like oxygen gas? Don't ask; students aren't ready to know. In physics, in biology, in any other science classes, students frequently get that answer too. It’s time to trust students to handle doubt and diversity in science. Actually, students are starting to act. They have shamed their seniors into including more diverse contributors as faculty members and role models. Young scholars rudely ask their superiors why they fail to address the extinction crises clarified by their research. The inherited authoritarian political structures of science education are becoming lame—but still remain largely unchanged from the old school days. A narrow, rigid education does not prepare anyone for the complexities of scientific research, applications and policy. If we discourage students from inquiring into the real nature of scientific truths, or exploring how society shapes the questions that researchers ask how can we prepare them to maintain public trust in science in our “post-truth” world? Diversity and doubt produce creativity: we must make room for them, and stop guiding future scientists into narrow specialties that value technique over thought. In science, even foundational building blocks can be questioned. The unifying patterns of the periodic table are now questioned under closer examination. Some scientists now wonder whether the concept of biological “species” contributes more confusion than insight, and whether it should therefore be abandoned. However, such a decision would affect conservation policy, in which identification of endangered species is crucial—so it is not just an issue for basic science. Science students generally remain unaware that concepts such as elements and species are contested or are even contestable. In school, college and beyond, curricula highlight the technical and hide the reflective. Public arguments among scientists often presume that every problem has just one solution. Nonetheless, uncertain advice on complex issues should be a warning that, from a future perspective, today's total scientific consensus on some policy issue might have been the result of stubbornness, a conflict of interest or worse. Just as a healthy democracy accommodates dissent and dissonance, the collective consciousness of science would do well to embrace doubt and diversity. This could start with teaching science as a great, flawed, ongoing human achievement, rather than as a collection of cut-and-dried eternal （永久的）truths. I recall a legendary chemistry professor who was not skilful at getting classroom demonstrations to work—but discussing what went wrong helped his students to thrive. A mathematician friend let pupils discuss every statement in the textbook until all were satisfied. They did very well in exams, and taught themselves when he was absent. Treating people at all levels as committed thinkers, whose asking teaches us all, is the key to tackling the challenges to science in the post-trust age. 32. The problem of current science training is that ______. A. students cannot become specialists B. it goes against established science education C. students lose trust in their teachers and professors D. it fails to provide students with what they need in future 33. The periodic table is mentioned to prove that ______. A. even the widely accepted can be challenged B. students are generally ignorant of science C. most previous researches are out of date D. science has been developing with time 34. It can be learnt from the passage that ______. A. students may be more innovative if they are allowed to doubt B. science students do not contest elements or species C. students should not trust established science D. diversity prevents progress in science 35. Which of the following statements best represents the writer’s opinion? A. Our curricula highlight the technical and hide the reflective. B. Science should be a collection of cut-and-dried eternal truths. C. Teachers should treat people at all levels as committed thinkers. D. The concept of biological species brings more confusion than insight. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了，在科学领域，我们要信任学生来处理科学中的怀疑和多样性，多样性和怀疑产生创造力，如果我们不鼓励学生探究科学真理的真实本质，或者不鼓励他们探索社会如何塑造研究人员提出的问题，那么我们如何让他们做好准备，在我们的“后真理”世界里保持公众对科学的信任。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段最后两句“Don't ask; students aren't ready to know. In physics, in biology, in any other science classes, students frequently get that answer too.”（别问，学生们还没准备好知道。在物理学、生物学、任何其他科学课上，学生也经常得到这个答案。），第三段第一句“A narrow, rigid education does not prepare anyone for the complexities of scientific research, applications and policy.”（狭隘、僵化的教育不能使任何人为科学研究、应用和政策的复杂性做好准备。），可知当前科学培训的问题在于它不能为学生提供他们未来进行科学研究所需要的东西。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段中的“In science, even foundational building blocks can be questioned. The unifying patterns of the periodic table are now questioned under closer examination.”（在科学领域，甚至基础的构成要素也可能受到质疑。现在元素周期表的统一模式正在更仔细的检查下被质疑。），说明元素周期表即使是被广泛接受的，也可能会被质疑。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。第三段最后一句“Diversity and doubt produce creativity: we must make room for them, and stop guiding future scientists into narrow specialties that value technique over thought.”（多样性和怀疑产生创造力：我们必须为它们腾出空间，并停止引导未来的科学家进入狭隘的专业领域，即重视技术而不是思想。），可推断出如果允许学生怀疑，学生可能更具创新性。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段最后一句“Treating people at all levels as committed thinkers, whose asking teaches us all, is the key to tackling the challenges to science in the post-trust age.”（把所有层次的人都当作坚定的思考者，他们的询问教会了我们所有人，这是在后信任时代应对科学挑战的关键。），可知教师应该把所有层次的人看作是坚定的思考者，这能最好描述符合作者观点。故选C项。 【点睛】推理判断题不仅要求考生读懂文章中的每个句子的意思还要推理它们之间的关系，结合自己的生活常识和经验，再通过逻辑推理和判断，理解文章的言外之意，从而揭示文章的深层涵义。推理判断题的答案不可能在文章中直接找到，因此推理时我们务必要忠于原文，在文章中寻找并确定可推论的依据，即：已知部分——推论的前提，从中推测出未知部分——推理的结论，切忌妄加评论，把自己的观点当成作者的观点。如在第3小题中，第三段最后一句“Diversity and doubt produce creativity: we must make room for them, and stop guiding future scientists into narrow specialties that value technique over thought.”，是已知部分，通过结合原文进行合理地逻辑判断，可推断出如果允许学生怀疑，学生可能更具创新性。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Is there a link between social media and depression? Do social media have a negative impact on your mental health? It’s complicated. In a recent study, the investigators compared social media use and depression between teens. ___36___Specifically, for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than her peers, she likely had a 0.64 point higher depression score. A different study published in 2018 identified five distinct types of social media users. The finding was that "problematic social media use" was one of the main themes for people whose mental health was affected by social media. You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem, or your alcohol use may become problematic. ___37___ There's one important thing to remember about survey research just because two things happen together, it's not necessarily true that one causes the other. ___38___For all we know, it could be that people who are already more depressed choose to spend more time on social media. ___39___If you think that we shouldn't paint social media with one broad brush, you're on the right track. On the one hand, participants often described social media as a valuable way to cope with stress. On the other hand, cyberbullying via social media was also a common experience for participants. Some also said that constantly checking their own social media profile was stressful. It’s certainly possible that experiences like cyberbullying, comparing yourself to idealized images, and constantly monitoring your profile, are bad for your mood. It's also true for many that social media offer community support and positive messages. Given the inconclusive research, it's safe to say that at least we shouldn't write off social media altogether. ___40___Anyway, you cannot use it as a crutch for coping with other stressors and mental health problems. A. It's the same with social media. B. Social media can be a double-edged sword. C. People get more opinionated about the potential problems of social media. D. They found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores. E. They reviewed all existing research and found that there were both benefits and drawbacks. F. The key to benefiting from social media may lie in using it in moderation and staying socially connected. G. For example, just because higher social media use co-occurs with higher levels of depression doesn't mean social media use causes depression. 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. G 39. B 40. F 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了，社交媒体是一把双刃剑，它对使用者的心理健康有影响，比较抑郁的人选择在社交媒体上花更多的时间，人们应该适度使用社交媒体并保持社交联系。 【36题详解】 由下一句“具体来说，一个青少年每天花在社交媒体上的时间比她的同龄人多1个小时，她的抑郁得分可能高出0.64分。”可知，承接下文，D选项“他们发现使用社交媒体越多的人抑郁得分越高。”切题；该选项中的higher depression scores对应下文中的a 0.64 point higher depression score。故选D项。 【37题详解】 由上一句“你可以在你的生活中拥有酒精，不让它成为一个问题，或者你的酒精使用可能成为一个问题。”可知，承接上文，A选项“社交媒体也是如此。”切题；该选项表示社交媒体使用和酒精使用一样，可能变成问题，也可能不是问题。故选A项。 【38题详解】 由上一句“调查研究有一件重要的事情要记住，因为两件事同时发生，不一定一件事导致另一件事。”可知，承接上文，G选项“例如，仅仅因为较高的社交媒体使用量与较高的抑郁水平并存并不意味着社交媒体使用量会导致抑郁。”切题；该选项是对上文“it's not necessarily true that one causes the other.”的举例说明。故选G项。 【39题详解】 由下文“一方面，参与者经常将社交媒体描述为应对压力的一种有价值的方式。另一方面，通过社交媒体进行网络欺凌也是参与者的常见经历。”可知，B选项“社交媒体可以是一把双刃剑。”切题；该选项中的a double-edged sword对应下文所提及的社交媒体的好坏两方面。故选B项。 【40题详解】 由下一句“不管怎样，你不能把它作为一个依靠来应付其它的压力和心理健康问题。”可知，承接下文，F选项“从社交媒体中获益的关键可能在于适度使用社交媒体并保持社交联系。”切题；该选项中的using it in moderation and staying socially connected对应下文中的“不能把社交媒体作为应对压力和心理健康问题的一个依靠”。故选F项。 【点睛】第一、通读全文，了解文章大意。这是一个泛读的过程，目的是了解文章大意，为以后的理解做铺垫。 第二、明确关联关系。任何句子都是要么和上文有联系，要么和下文有联系，要么和上下文都有联系。例如第2、3小题都与它们的上文有联系。 第三、带入通读，复查。 做完题目切忌直接离开，这时我们很有必要将自己修正好的文章通读一遍，将其看做一片行文通顺语意连贯的文章来读，这时如果感到有含义不连贯的地方，很有可能是我们填错了空，就要复查了，注意：七选五的特点在于，错一道，往往还会错另外的一道或几道，我们叫做“连错”，所以当你发现自己有一处填的有问题时，一定要同时检查其它空。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节 阅读表达（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分）。 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Dumb phones are making a comeback It is hard to imagine life without a smartphone these days. Leave yours at home and you may find yourself lost, moneyless and cut off from social contact. Yet a market is also emerging for phones that are deliberately pea-brained. These dumb phones — confusingly called “feature phones” — account for just 2% of phone sales in America. But demand is growing.  In 2016, a Finnish firm, bought the rights to relaunch the devices of Nokia, whose basic phones once dominated the market. It says it is now selling “tens of thousands” of flip-phones a month in America. In May it re-released the Nokia 3210, a mainstay of many millennials’ teenage years, in Europe. It even has Snake, a classic mobile game. Dumb phones today do not merely copy those of the past, though. Startups offer minimalist devices of their own. One example is the Light Phone, which is shaped like an iPod and has an e-ink screen like a Kindle. It also allows users to add optional “tools” including a podcast-player and a directions app. What explains the return of the dumb phone? One factor is anxiety over the impact of smartphones — and social-media apps in particular — on young people’s mental health. That is why a first-class British school, announced in July that it would bar its students from bringing smartphones to school, and would provide them with Nokia phones instead. But plenty of grownups are also choosing dumb phones out of their own will. Jose Briones, who moderates a forum dedicated to dumb phones on a social-media site, switched to the Light Phone after growing alarmed at his soaring screen-time record. Other smartphone addicts are instead cutting down the use of their devices either by deleting apps or downloading ones that control screen time. Giving up the supercharged connectivity of a smartphone can lead to panic at first. Christina Dinur, another dumb-phone convert, remembers wondering what to do with herself when waiting in a queue without her smartphone. But, she says, she “settled into it really quickly”. For some, it seems, a dumb phone can be a smart choice. 41. How will people feel if they leave their smartphones at home? ________________________________________________________________ 42. What contributes to the return of the dump phone? ________________________________________________________________ 43. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Dump phones are making a comeback, yet startups are just reproducing the old phones. ________________________________________________________________ 44. Will you choose a dump phone? Why or why not? ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】41. They may feel lost, moneyless, and cut off from social contact. 42. Concerns about smartphones’ impact on mental health (especially social media) and adults’ voluntary choice to reduce screen time. 43. Dump phones are making a comeback, yet startups are just reproducing the old phones. According to the passage, “Dumb phones today do not merely copy those of the past, though. Startups offer minimalist devices of their own.” So startups are not just reproducing the old phones, but offering their own new minimalist devices. 44. Yes. A dumb phone helps avoid distractions from social media and reduces screen time, allowing me to focus on real-life interactions. 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讨论了“傻瓜手机”（dumb phones）的回归现象，解释了这种趋势背后的原因。 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“It is hard to imagine life without a smartphone these days. Leave yours at home and you may find yourself lost, moneyless and cut off from social contact.(现在很难想象没有智能手机的生活。把你的手机留在家里，你可能会发现自己迷路了，身无分文，与社会联系也被切断了)”可知，把智能手机留在家里，人们会感到失落，身无分文，失去了社会联系。故回答：They may feel lost, moneyless, and cut off from social contact. 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段“What explains the return of the dumb phone? One factor is anxiety over the impact of smartphones — and social-media apps in particular — on young people’s mental health.(如何解释傻瓜手机的回归？其中一个因素是对智能手机——尤其是社交媒体应用——对年轻人心理健康影响的焦虑)”以及第五段“But plenty of grownups are also choosing dumb phones out of their own will. Jose Briones, who moderates a forum dedicated to dumb phones on a social-media site, switched to the Light Phone after growing alarmed at his soaring screen-time record. Other smartphone addicts are instead cutting down the use of their devices either by deleting apps or downloading ones that control screen time.(但很多成年人也出于自己的意愿选择了傻瓜手机。Jose Briones在一家社交媒体网站上主持了一个专门讨论傻瓜手机的论坛，他对自己不断飙升的屏幕时间记录感到担忧，于是改用了Light Phone。其他智能手机成瘾者则通过删除应用程序或下载控制屏幕时间的应用程序来减少对设备的使用)”可知，对智能手机（尤其是社交媒体）对心理健康的影响以及成年人自愿选择减少屏幕时间的担忧导致傻瓜手机的回归。故回答：Concerns about smartphones’ impact on mental health (especially social media) and adults’ voluntary choice to reduce screen time. 【43题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“Dumb phones today do not merely copy those of the past, though. Startups offer minimalist devices of their own. One example is the Light Phone, which is shaped like an iPod and has an e-ink screen like a Kindle. It also allows users to add optional “tools” including a podcast-player and a directions app.(不过，如今的“傻瓜手机”并不仅仅是复制过去的手机。初创公司也推出了自己的极简主义设备。其中一个例子就是 Light Phone，它的外形像 iPod，屏幕则像 Kindle 一样采用电子墨水屏。它还允许用户添加可选的“工具”，包括播客播放器和导航应用程序)”可知，创业公司不仅在复制旧手机，而且还在提供自己的新型极简设备。故回答：Dump phones are making a comeback, yet startups are just reproducing the old phones. According to the passage, “Dumb phones today do not merely copy those of the past, though. Startups offer minimalist devices of their own.” So startups are not just reproducing the old phones, but offering their own new minimalist devices. 【44题详解】 开放性问题。对我来说，我会选择一个傻瓜手机，因为它有助于避免社交媒体的干扰，减少屏幕时间，让我专注于现实生活中的互动。故回答：Yes. A dumb phone helps avoid distractions from social media and reduces screen time, allowing me to focus on real-life interactions. 第二节 45. 假如你是红星中学高三学生李华，你校外籍老师Jim计划不久回国，他想从中国带回一份礼物送给妈妈，写信向你求助，请你给他回复邮件，向他推荐一份有中国文化特色的礼物。内容包括： 1. 礼物名称； 2. 推荐原因。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】One possible version: Dear Jim, Knowing that you’d like to select a Chinese gift for your mother before returning home soon, I’m happy to recommend you a silk dress as a gift.

The numbers presented in the sequence are called the terms. The Fibonacci sequence (斐波那契数列) is one of its type where each number is the sum of the two that precede it. It starts from 1 and 1, given by 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, and so on. Its general formula is: Humans have probably known about this numerical sequence for millennia: it can be first found in medieval Indian mathematics. In the 13th century, the Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, also known as Fibonacci, introduced the Arabic Numerals which replaced Roman Numerals and carried out a thought experiment: he wanted to figure out the growth of an idealized (biologically unrealistic) rabbit population, assuming that a single newly born pair of rabbits (one male, one female) are put in a field, and that each pair produces one new pair (one male, one female) every month from the second month onwards. The result of this experiment is shown in Picture 1. Is there a magic equation to the universe? Probably not, but there are some pretty common ones that we find over and over in the natural world. The Fibonacci numbers must be a typical example. When we take any two successive (one after the other) Fibonacci numbers, their ratio is very close to the Golden Ratio, which is approximately 0.618, as shown in Table 1. In fact, the bigger the pair of Fibonacci numbers, the closer the approximation. Let us try a few: When we make squares with those widths and make a quarter turn in each of the square, we get a nice spiral (as shown in Picture 2), which we call Fibonacci spiral. Look at the array of seeds in the center of a sunflower and you’ll notice what looks like spiral patterns curving left and right. Amazingly, if you count these spirals, your total will be a series of Fibonacci numbers. You can decipher spiral patterns in pine-cones, pineapples and cauliflower that also reflect the Fibonacci sequence in this manner. Such a spiral can actually be found in more places in nature, from the curve of a nautilus shell to the twist of a typhoon or hurricane. What a coincidence! The Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio are not just mathematical curiosities — they offer a fascinating connection between figures and reality. Sometimes a coincidence is just a coincidence, but coincidence is really beautiful! 21. Which of the following statements about the Fibonacci sequence is TRUE? A. It begins with the number 0 and 1. B. It is defined as an unordered list of number. C. The general formula was created by mathematician Leonardo of Pisa D. Each term is generated by adding the two terms immediately before it. 22. What can we learn about the Fibonacci sequence? A. It originated from ancient India. B. More examples are needed to prove it. C. No flower’s petal number breaks the sequence. D. Fibonacci found it via an experiment on rabbits. 23. Which statement is the author probably in favor of? A. There is absolutely no magic equation to the universe. B. The natural world is dominated by mathematical patterns. C. Mathematics is one of the windows into the beauty of nature. D. A chain of evidence can prove the laws in this objective world. B Sophie became friends with the gray squirrels during her first week at Penn State, after spotting them running around and wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads. Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”. Sophie tried bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do something to lift their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Sophie and her squirrels became an Internet sensation (轰动). Growing up in a neighborhood outside of State College, Sophie was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn’t interact with people very much. She was later diagnosed (诊断) with Asperger's syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels help me break the ice, because I’ll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said, “I am a lot more outgoing.” And in case you’re wondering how Sophie is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they’ll grab it. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though. This year, Sophie is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Sophie plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can. 24. What can we infer from the passage? A. Sophie was fonder of squirrels than any other animals. B. Sophie is known as the “Squirrel Girl” in the community. C. Sophie and squirrels received great attention on the Internet. D. Sophie wishes to educate people on how to protect the animals. 25. What can we learn about Sophie according to paragraph 3? A. She was more outgoing than before. B. She got lots of friends due to squirrels. C. She lived in the far countryside when young. D. She used to be a popular girl in her childhood. 26. How did Sophie manage to take photos of squirrels wearing hats? A. By dressing like squirrels. B. By putting them in cages. C. By playing music to them. D. By attracting them with food. 27. What do you think of Sophie? A. Patient and caring. B. Tolerant and strong. C. Sociable and healthy. D. Traditional and hard-working. C In our information-driven society, shaping our worldview through the media is similar to forming an opinion about someone solely based on a picture of their foot. While the media might not deliberately deceive us, it often fails to provide a comprehensive view of reality. Consequently, the question arises: Where, then, shall we get our information from if not from the media? Who can we trust? How about experts—people who devote their working lives to understanding their chosen slice of the world? However, even experts can fall prey to the allure of oversimplification, leading to the “single perspective instinct” that hampers(阻碍)our ability to grasp the intricacies of the world. Simple ideas can be appealing because they offer a sense of understanding and certainty. And it is easy to take off down a slippery slope, from one attention-grabbing simple idea to a feeling that this idea beautifully explains, or is the beautiful solution for, lots of other things. The world becomes simple that way. Yet, when we embrace a singular cause or solution for all problems, we risk oversimplifying complex issues. For instance, championing the concept of equality may lead us to view all problems through the lens of inequality and see resource distribution as the sole panacea. However, such rigidity prevents us from seeing the multidimensional nature of challenges and hinders true comprehension of reality. This “single perspective instinct” ultimately clouds our judgment and restricts our capacity to tackle complex issues effectively. It saves a lot of time to think like this. You can have opinions and answers without having to learn about a problem from scratch and you can get on with using your brain for other tasks. But it’s not so useful if you like to understand the world. Being always in favor of or always against any particular idea makes you blind to information that doesn’t fit your perspective. This is usually a bad approach if you would like to understand reality. Instead, constantly test your favorite ideas for weaknesses. Be humble about the extent of your expertise. Be curious about new information that doesn’t fit, and information from other fields. And rather than talking only to people who agree with you, or collecting examples that fit your ideas, consult people who contradict you, disagree with you, and put forward different ideas as a great resource for understanding the world. I have been wrong about the world so many times. Sometimes, coming up against reality is what helps me see my mistakes, but often it is talking to, and trying to understand, someone with different ideas. If this means you don’t have time to form so many opinions, so what? Wouldn’t you rather have few opinions that are right than many that are wrong? 28. What does the underlined word “allure” in Para.2 probably mean? A. Temptation. B. Tradition. C. Convenience. D. Consequence. 29. Why are simple ideas appealing according to the passage? A. They meet people’s demand for high efficiency. B. They generate a sense of complete understanding. C. They are raised and supported by multiple experts. D. They reflect the opinions of like-minded individuals. 30. What will the author probably agree with? A. Simplifying matters releases energy for human brains. B. Constant tests on our ideas help make up for our weakness. C. A well-founded opinion counts more than many shallow ones. D. People who disagree with us often have comprehensive views. 31. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. Embracing Disagreement: Refusing Overcomplexity B. Simplifying Information: Enhancing Comprehension C. Understanding Differences: Establishing Relationships D. Navigating Complexity: Challenging Oversimplification D In college, I was taught an elegant theory of chemical combination based on excess electrons going into holes in the orbital shell of a neighbouring atom. But what about diatomic compounds like oxygen gas? Don't ask; students aren't ready to know. In physics, in biology, in any other science classes, students frequently get that answer too. It’s time to trust students to handle doubt and diversity in science. Actually, students are starting to act. They have shamed their seniors into including more diverse contributors as faculty members and role models. Young scholars rudely ask their superiors why they fail to address the extinction crises clarified by their research. The inherited authoritarian political structures of science education are becoming lame—but still remain largely unchanged from the old school days. A narrow, rigid education does not prepare anyone for the complexities of scientific research, applications and policy. If we discourage students from inquiring into the real nature of scientific truths, or exploring how society shapes the questions that researchers ask how can we prepare them to maintain public trust in science in our “post-truth” world? Diversity and doubt produce creativity: we must make room for them, and stop guiding future scientists into narrow specialties that value technique over thought. In science, even foundational building blocks can be questioned. The unifying patterns of the periodic table are now questioned under closer examination. Some scientists now wonder whether the concept of biological “species” contributes more confusion than insight, and whether it should therefore be abandoned. However, such a decision would affect conservation policy, in which identification of endangered species is crucial—so it is not just an issue for basic science. Science students generally remain unaware that concepts such as elements and species are contested or are even contestable. In school, college and beyond, curricula highlight the technical and hide the reflective. Public arguments among scientists often presume that every problem has just one solution. Nonetheless, uncertain advice on complex issues should be a warning that, from a future perspective, today's total scientific consensus on some policy issue might have been the result of stubbornness, a conflict of interest or worse. Just as a healthy democracy accommodates dissent and dissonance, the collective consciousness of science would do well to embrace doubt and diversity. This could start with teaching science as a great, flawed, ongoing human achievement, rather than as a collection of cut-and-dried eternal （永久的）truths. I recall a legendary chemistry professor who was not skilful at getting classroom demonstrations to work—but discussing what went wrong helped his students to thrive. A mathematician friend let pupils discuss every statement in the textbook until all were satisfied. They did very well in exams, and taught themselves when he was absent.

Do social media have a negative impact on your mental health? It’s complicated. In a recent study, the investigators compared social media use and depression between teens. ___36___Specifically, for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than her peers, she likely had a 0.64 point higher depression score. A different study published in 2018 identified five distinct types of social media users. The finding was that "problematic social media use" was one of the main themes for people whose mental health was affected by social media. You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem, or your alcohol use may become problematic. ___37___ There's one important thing to remember about survey research just because two things happen together, it's not necessarily true that one causes the other. ___38___For all we know, it could be that people who are already more depressed choose to spend more time on social media. ___39___If you think that we shouldn't paint social media with one broad brush, you're on the right track. On the one hand, participants often described social media as a valuable way to cope with stress. On the other hand, cyberbullying via social media was also a common experience for participants. Some also said that constantly checking their own social media profile was stressful. It’s certainly possible that experiences like cyberbullying, comparing yourself to idealized images, and constantly monitoring your profile, are bad for your mood. It's also true for many that social media offer community support and positive messages. Given the inconclusive research, it's safe to say that at least we shouldn't write off social media altogether. ___40___Anyway, you cannot use it as a crutch for coping with other stressors and mental health problems. A. It's the same with social media. B. Social media can be a double-edged sword. C. People get more opinionated about the potential problems of social media. D. They found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores. E. They reviewed all existing research and found that there were both benefits and drawbacks. F. The key to benefiting from social media may lie in using it in moderation and staying socially connected. G. For example, just because higher social media use co-occurs with higher levels of depression doesn't mean social media use causes depression. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节 阅读表达（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分）。 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Dumb phones are making a comeback It is hard to imagine life without a smartphone these days. Leave yours at home and you may find yourself lost, moneyless and cut off from social contact. Yet a market is also emerging for phones that are deliberately pea-brained. These dumb phones — confusingly called “feature phones” — account for just 2% of phone sales in America. But demand is growing.  In 2016, a Finnish firm, bought the rights to relaunch the devices of Nokia, whose basic phones once dominated the market. It says it is now selling “tens of thousands” of flip-phones a month in America. In May it re-released the Nokia 3210, a mainstay of many millennials’ teenage years, in Europe. It even has Snake, a classic mobile game. Dumb phones today do not merely copy those of the past, though. Startups offer minimalist devices of their own. One example is the Light Phone, which is shaped like an iPod and has an e-ink screen like a Kindle. It also allows users to add optional “tools” including a podcast-player and a directions app. What explains the return of the dumb phone? One factor is anxiety over the impact of smartphones — and social-media apps in particular — on young people’s mental health. That is why a first-class British school, announced in July that it would bar its students from bringing smartphones to school, and would provide them with Nokia phones instead. But plenty of grownups are also choosing dumb phones out of their own will. Jose Briones, who moderates a forum dedicated to dumb phones on a social-media site, switched to the Light Phone after growing alarmed at his soaring screen-time record. Other smartphone addicts are instead cutting down the use of their devices either by deleting apps or downloading ones that control screen time. Giving up the supercharged connectivity of a smartphone can lead to panic at first. Christina Dinur, another dumb-phone convert, remembers wondering what to do with herself when waiting in a queue without her smartphone. But, she says, she “settled into it really quickly”. For some, it seems, a dumb phone can be a smart choice. 41. How will people feel if they leave their smartphones at home? ________________________________________________________________ 42.
