B "If you could have any three things,what would you want?"Eleven-year-old Ruby Kate Chitsey loves asking that question,but it's not a game.She asks about it at nursing homes in Harrison,Arkansas,where she lives.Even more amazing,she then sets out to make the residents'wishes come true. Ruby Kate has long been close to older folks.Her mother,Amanda Chitsey, works at nursing homes in northwest Arkansas,and Ruby Kate often stays with her in the summer.The Chitseys learned that many nursing home residents are unable to afford even the smallest luxuries.So Ruby Kate decided to do something about it. "I've never found them scary at all,so I'm able to just go up to them and ask if they need anything,"she says. She started by asking residents what three things they wanted most in the world. Amanda worried that people would ask for cars and other things an 11-year-old wouldn't be able to provide.Instead,they asked for chocolate bars,McDonald's fries, and pants that fit properly. "It broke me as a human,"Amanda says."We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many items as we could." Using their own money,the Chitseys granted the wishes of about 100 people in three months.Then they started asking for donations. The good people of Harrison responded enthusiastically,so much that Amanda set up a GoFundMe page,Three Wishes for Ruby's Residents,hoping to collect $5,000. They hit their goal in a month.After GoFundMe named Ruby Kate a Kid Hero and promoted her story nationwide this past January,Three Wishes raised $20,000 in 24 hours and more than $250,000 in five months.With those funds,the Chitseys were able to get more creative:one resident asked for a man cave,so they got him a Walkman and stocked his fridge with snacks.Another wanted to go to a friend's out-of-state wedding;they gave her money for gas and food. Earlier this year,Three Wishes for Ruby's Residents became a nonprofit and launched its first nationwide chapters.One of its new goals is to set up a communal laptop in one nursing home in each state.Ruby Kate doesn't plan to stop there. Actually,besides Ruby Kate,more youngsters are involved in helping others as a hobby.At one high school,students turned a single dollar into a truly inspirational act. 24.Why did the Chitseys decide to ask and meet the residents'wishes? A.It was Amanda's duty to do that. 第4页共10页 B.The residents'stories moved them. C.They had a close relationship with the residents. D.They wanted to do something for the poor there. 25.Amanda said"It broke me as a human,"in Para.4,probably because A.the wishes were simple B.the wishes were in her plan C.she couldn't realize the wishes D.she couldn't help her daughter 26.From the last two paragraphs of the passage,we know the Chitseys A.started a page to get profit B.wrote stories about nursing homes C.appealed to more people to join them D.carried out their project across the world 27.The story mainly inspires people to A.accompany the senior B.be optimistic toward life 都 圜 C.treasure what they have D.deliver kindness to others 如 C Rarely a day goes by that I don't notice a car traveling east down my quiet 尽 邮 one-way street,which runs west.They aren't breaking the rules on purpose-they've just failed to realise they're making a mistake.And why?If you're driving the right 长 way,you will notice white arrows on a blue background indicating as much.But if 掷 you're driving the wrong way?Nothing. K This is an analogy (of life.When we perform well,we receive vague praise. O But when we are wrong?Usually,silence-until failure strikes.Timely,specific criticism is rare before things go badly wrong. 杯 郑 Sometimes the signs are in front of us,but we look away.In 2019,two 和 researchers at Chicago's Booth school,Lauren Adam and Ayelet Fisherman,published an article presenting several studies of the effect of feedback on.learning,in which 御 御 subjects were offered two plausible answers to a difficult question,and invited to pick one.In most cases,this was a guess. After 10 answers,the subjects were either shown all the answers they had got right,or shown all the answers they had got wrong.Logically speaking,since these were all binary questions,that amounts to the same thing.But Adam and Fisherman found that the emotional framing mattered.When people were shown their successes, they learnt-and did better on a follow-up test.When people were shown their failures,they did not improve. The researchers suggest that people don't much care to think over their errors,and so are quick to move on and forget-especially in an experiment such as this,when the consequences of further errors are trivial.When shown their successes,they pause to savour the moment.This may help to explain why so many of us are faced with the one-way-street problem:everyone is happy to share a friendly word of reassurance, but few people are keen to offer criticism,even when specifically requested 第5页共10页 So what to do?One tactic is to ask for advice,instead of feedback.A Harvard Business School study found that asking for advice prompts more critical,actionable comments focused on future.improvements.Another approach,demonstrated by psychologist Adam Grant,involves a two-step process:first,ask for a rating (e.g.,"9 out of 10"),then follow up with,"What would make it a 10?"This encourages constructive suggestions. But constructive feedback of a more general nature remains difficult to achieve. One idea I've played with recently has become popular in tabletop role-playing games -it's called“stars and wishes'”.After a game,.I ask players for“stars'”(moments they enjoyed)and"wishes"(things they'd like to see next time).Wishes create a friendly space for constructive ideas-even if not all responses are actionable,the act of asking encourages people to share honest thoughts I might otherwise miss.In the end, I learn more by framing feedback as"wishes"than by staying silent. I'm not sure how your boss would respond to a request for"stars and wishes",but the spirit is the right one.If we want timely,useful criticism from others,we must be clever in how we ask for it.Otherwise our colleagues will be as tactfully uncommunicative as those non-existent signs for those driving the wrong way down my street. 28.The underlined phrase "emotional framing"in Paragraph 4 most probably means A.the emotional response held back by feedback B.the influence of prior experiences on feedback C.the way feedback is presented to affect perceptions D.the identical feedback to answers to binary questions 29.What can be inferred about feedback from the passage? A.People may consider giving negative feedback ineffective. B.Asking for advice is the first step towards useful feedback. C.The"stars and wishes"method guarantees honest feedback D.Constructive suggestions make people willing to give feedback. 30.What is the passage mainly about? A.Why feedback always fails us. B.How we obtain constructive criticism. C.What helps set up the feedback system. D.Where constructive criticism comes from. D Side-blotched lizards(侧斑蜥蜴)have a colourful set of mating(求偶)strategies.. Some males,with orange throats,are large and fight their way to a group of mates Others,with blue throats,are a bit smaller and bond with just a single female.And then there is a third type.These lizards,which have yellow throats,look very similar 第6页共10页 to females.In a rock-paper-scissors-type mating strategy,the big orange ones can chase off the medium blue ones,who,in tumn,can keep a close eye on their single mate.The yellow ones,however,sometimes sneak into (the big males'group of mates. 0 The lizards face a trade-off between abundance and the cost of confirmation.It is a trade-off that is increasingly of concern to humans,too.The cost of producing text, video or audio has declined;doing so now means just a few words on a chatbot rather than hours of effort.As a consequence,roughly half of the articles published on the 0 internet last year were AI-generated. How can internet users distinguish an article by a genuine but little-known news website from outright misinformation?Market participants often rely on "costly signals"to make such choices.An employer looking for a new hire,say,may seek applicants with a degree that took effort and a certain amount of skill,which indicates ® they might bring the same qualities to their work.The certificate allows employers to distinguish between good and bad applicants-creating what economists call a o 如 “separating equilibrium”'(分离均衡)and enabling transactions between·willing participants. 尽 瞰 During an earlier information age,newspaper branding provided a costly signal. In what was,in game-theoretic terms,a"reputation game"newspapers would,issue 长 by issue,reveal exactly how focused on the truth they were.Repeated interactions 揪 with a reader,when they were deciding which paper to purchase,constituted a ☒ separating equilibrium.Content farms,websites that copy reputable news pages but with made-up stories,however,can"sneak into"these brands like the yellow lizards. 杯 郑 Thus the "separating equilibrium"is devolving into a "pooling equilibrium",in which there is no way of telling between one type of creation and another.The 输 problem with a "pooling equilibrium",as George Akerlof put it in a Nobel-prizewinning paper,is that "dishonest dealings tend to drive honest dealings 解 御 out of the market."Without a way to tell good from bad,buyers treat everything as bad. Among side-blotched lizards,the rock-paper-scissors nature of the lizards'mating strategies means that if any of the colours becomes too common,one of the other types receives an advantage.Optimistically,then,an outpouring in the productivity of misinformation generators may provide a similar advantage to the journalistic equivalent of the blue-throated lizards-publications that jealously guard their reputation for truth-telling. 31.Why does the author mention the example of side-blotched lizards in Paragraph 1? A.To share a popular trend. B.To criticize a costly trade-off. C.To reveal a disturbing issue D.To introduce a mating strategy. 32.According to the passage,which of the following is an example of separating equilibrium? 第7页共10页 A.We tend to learn a common language regardless of native tongue. B.Firms sustain high-input advertising campaigns to reflect quality. C.The expense of acquiring education is similar across ability types. D.Socially-responsible and profit-driven firms spend equally on charity. 33.Which of the following would the author agree with? A.Content farms spare no efforts to focus on the truth. B.Readers can tell facts from fiction through costly signals. C.Publications lose competitiveness in maintaining reputation. D.The cost of confirming information genuineness has dropped. 34.Which would be the best title for the passage? A.Has Internet Supercharged Misinformation? B.Misinformation:Threat to Newspapers'Reputation C.Costly Signals:Trade-off Between Real and Made-up D.Will Publications Survive in the Flood of Misinformation? 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，并在 答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Blind Olympic Athletes Show the Universal Nature Tune into any sports coverage on TV,and you will see many athletes proudly raise their arms and heads in victory,while a much larger number hang their shoulders and necks in defeat.Studies have revealed why-they are universal behaviours, performed by humans in response to success and failure. The discovery came from Jessica Tracy from the University of British Columbia and David Matsumoto from San Francisco State University,who wanted to see how people showed feelings of pride and shame.35 They tried to find a large group of people,and it was critically important that some of these subjects had never seen other people reacting to success or failure before. The answer was Athens,during the 2004 Olympic Games.Its sister commpetition-the Paralympics-included many athletes who were born blind. 36 Working with a professional photographer,Tracy and Matsumoto compared the body language of 108 competitors,41 of whom had lost their sight,and 12 of whom were blind from birth.The photographer repeatedly took pictures of these athletes after their competitions,and the researchers carefully recorded the positions of their heads,arms and bodies.37The winners tilted their heads up, smiled,lifted their arms and puffed out their chests,while shoulders bent forward and narrowed chests were the marks of losers. 38 Men and women who have never seen other people behave in these ways still make exactly the same movements.And while it's possible that parents may have taught their blind children some of these actions,it's very unlikely 第8页共10页 that they could have taught them all-particularly the expansion or narrowing of the chest. These actions were also remarkably consistent between contestants from every part of the world.Tracy and Matsumoto argue that pride and shame deserve a place alongside other primary emotions like happiness,fear and surprise. 39 A. They are inborn behaviours and are accompanied by their own distinct sets of actions. B.In fact,the culture was found to have only a very small effect on their body language C.Therefore,they could not have witnessed how other people reacted to winning and losing. D. The result suggested that the athletes were showing their pride based on careful observation. 纸 E.The athletes'behaviours give strong evidence that they have had the actions 如 naturally since birth. 毁 F.Analyzing the data,they found that the sighted and sightless athletes behaved in 尽 啟 almost exactly the same ways. G. In particular,they wanted to know whether these expressions were culturally 长 determined and learned through observation. 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12 拓 郑 分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题纸指定区域作答。 和 When Eugenie George first heard that her friend had passed the accountant exam, 钓 her heart sank.She'd failed that test weeks earlier,and needed the certificate to 御 advance her own career."My inner child got upset,"recalls George.But then,she called her friend."I told her I failed and admitted I was envious,"she says.Being frank shifted her attitude,and she was surprised to realize she could share her friend's happiness and experience her own,in turn."I congratulated my friend and told her she inspired me,"George says. This is what scientists call freudenfreude,meaning finding pleasure in another person's success,even if it doesn't directly involve us.Freudenfreude is like social glue,says Catherine Chambliss,a professor of psychology at Ursinus College.It makes relationships "closer and more enjoyable."A study in 2021 examined freudenfreude's role in daily life and found that it could improve life satisfaction and even help people cooperate during a conflict. While the benefits of freudenfreude are plentiful,it doesn't always come easily If you were raised in a family that paired winning with self-worth,Chambliss says, you might misread someone else's victory as your own personal shortcoming.Besides, mental health can also affect your ability to participate in someone else's joy.Negative 第9页共10页 emotions like anger or dislike may lead to the opposite of freudenfreude. Luckily,the ability of freudenfreude can be exercised.To help people strengthen joy-sharing muscles,Chambliss and his colleagues developed a programme called Freudenfreude Enhancement Training practices.They found that depressed students who used the practices for two weeks had an easier time expressing freudenfreude, which enhanced their relationships and improved their moods.Given that,having freudenfreude is beneficial and it is worthwhile to explore ways to encourage the feeling. 40.According to scientists,what is freudenfreude? 41.What impact does freudenfreude have on daily life? 42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. Freudenfreude doesn't always come easily,and it is affected by your family environment and physical health. 43.Besides George's experience mentioned in the passage,please describe one of your experiences of freudenfreude.(In about 40 words) 第二节(20分) 44.假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。你的英国好友Jim想参加China Daily举办 的主题为“Green Beijing”照片征集活动。为此发来邮件，就拍摄内容询问你的 建议。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1.提出的建议； 2.建议的理由。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2开头和结尾己给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, Yours, Li Hua 第10页共10页
