第2页/共22页Even now,I have vivid memories of my last day of high school.In my mind's eye,I'm cleaning out my
locker, and then staring at the emptiness for a fewextra beats before slamming it shut for the last time.I'm
wandering around the halls with my bestfriend,blissfully ignoring the bells going offevery 50 minutes on schedule
because,just today, we're allowed to break the rules.I'm sitting on my desk,swinging my feet,and shootingthe
breeze(闲聊)with my
English teacher,Mr.Carr,in a way that makes me feel almost grown up.
It was maybe my favorite day of the whole year.Like the final layer of watercolor,the freedom and lightness I
feel seeps(渗透)into the rest of my memories of that day and turns them just a shade rosier
If the school year hasn't yet ended for you,consider what you can do to make the finale count.Why?
Because when it comes to human memory,not all moments are created equal.Instead,our remembered
experiences are disproportionately(不成比例地)influenced by peaks (the best moments as well as the worst)and
endings (the last moments).Nobel Prize winner Danny Kahneman,who discovered this phenomenon,called this
the peak-end rule.It
suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint.
I took advantage of thepeak-end rule years ago,when my girls were youngenough to want a bedtime story
each night.I remember thinking that whatever disagreement and stress had occurred that day,I could make
the last moments count.I could end on a note of calm and act like the patient mom I hadn't quite managed to be
just hours
before.
Don't mistakeall moments asequal insignificance.There's a reason why yoga classes end with savasana(挺卧
式).There's a reason we eat dessert last.Do organize endings carefully.As Seattle Seahawks coach Pete
Carroll
might say:Finish strong.Last impressions are especially lasting.
4 What can the author suggest doing to make the end of a school year memorable?
A.Planning a special event for the last day.
B.Reflecting on the entire academic year.
C.Ignoring school regulations
D.Focusing on the final exam.
5.Which statement is true about the peak-end rule?
A.The last moments matter the most inour memories.
B.Peaks in life can be remembered better than endings
C.The peaks and ends of experiences are easier to remember.
D.Our judgment of the past is determined by first impressions.
第3页/共22页6.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
第3页/共22页A.What struggles the author had in life.
B.How the author treated her daughters.
C.Why the author read stories to her kids.
D.How the author applied the rule to daily life.
7.Why is Pete Carroll mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.To show the importance of doing sports.
B.To explain why last impressions are lasting.
C.To prove the peak-end rule can be used in sports.
D.To encourage readers to value the last moments of an experience
【答案】4. A 5.C 6.D 7.D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己高中最后一天的鲜活记忆和坚持给女儿讲睡前故事的经
历 讲述了“峰终定律”,它表明我们对一段经历的判断很大程度上取决于这段经历的巅峰和结尾，并建议
人们
珍惜结尾。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“If the school year hasn't yet ended for you,consider what youcan do to make
the finale count.Why?Because when it comes to human memory,not all moments are created equal.Instead,our
remembered experiences are disproportionately(不成比例地)influenced by peaks (the best moments as well as
the
worst)and endings (the last moments)(如果你的学年还没有结束，考虑一下你能做些什么来让结尾有意义。
为什么?因为当涉及到人类记忆时，并不是所有的时刻都是平等的。相反，我们记忆中的经历不成比例
地 受到高峰(最好的时刻和最坏的时刻)和结局(最后的时刻)的影响。)”可知，人类对一段经历的
高峰 (最好的时刻和最坏的时刻)和结尾记忆最深，所以作者建议提前考虑学年的结尾方式，从而让
它变得有
意义。由此可推测出，作者建议为学年最后一天策划一个特殊的活动。故选A。

安排结尾，并引用皮特·卡罗尔的话“强势完成比赛”来说明最后的印象会非常持久，强调结尾的重要
性，由此可推测出，作者提到皮特·卡罗尔是为了鼓励读者重视一段经历的最后时刻。故选D。

How much time do you spend doing research before you make a big decision?There are people who go over
every detail exhaustively before makinga choice,and it is certainly possible to overthink things.But a fair
number of individuals are quick to jump to conclusions.Psychologists call the latter a mental bias(偏见).In this
case,the
error is making a call basedon the least of evidence
A research by Carmen Sanchez,a professor at the University of Illinois,and David Dunning,a professor at the
University of Michigan,has found that hasty judgments are often just one part of larger error-prone patterns in
behavior and thinking.These patterns have costs.People who tend to make such jumps in their reasoning often
choose a bet in which they have low chances of winning instead of one where their chances are much better
To study jumping,researchers did an experiment to examine decision-making patterns among 600 people from
the general population.They applied a thinking game,in which players encountered someone who was fishing
from one of two lakes:in one lake,most of the fish were red;in the other,most were gray.The fisher would
catch one fish at a time and stop only when players thought they could say which lake was being fished.Some
players had to see many fish before making a decision.Others—the jumpers—stopped after only one
ortwo.Participants
were also asked questions to learn more about their thought patterns.It was found that the fewer fish a player
waited to see,the more errors that individual made in other types of beliefs,reasoning and decisions.
So what is behind jumping?Researchers commonly distinguish between two pathways of thought:automatic,
第5页/共22页known as system I,which reflects ideas that come to the mind easily,spontaneously and without effort;and
controlled,or system 2,consisting of effortful reasoning that is analytic,mindful and intentional.It was found that
jumpers and non-jumpers were equally influenced by automatic thoughts.The jumpers,however,did not engage
in
controlled reasoning tothe same degree as non-jumpers.It is system 2 thinking that helps people counterbalance
mental biases introduced by system 1.A lack of system 2 thinking isalso more broadly connected to their
problematic beliefs and faulty reasoning.
In everyday life,the question of whether we should think things through or instead go with our heart is a
frequent and important one.Recent studies show thateven gathering just a little bit more evidence mayhelp
us avoid a major mistake.Sometimes the most important decision we make can be to take some more time
before
making a choice.
8.What is the main idea of the first two paragraphs?
A.Overthinking things is a mental bias.
B.Evidence is a necessity for judgments
C.Jumping results from a wish to win a bet.
D.Jumpers have a tendency to a mental mistake.
9.What can we learn from the experiment?
A.Jumpers caught more fish than non-jumpers.
B.Non-jumpers gave quicker answers than jumpers.
C.Non-jumpers tended to see more fish before naming the lake.
D.People who saw fewer fish made fewer mistakes in reasoning.
10.According to the passage,in which situation is system 2 engaged more?
A.After comparing different brands and models,David purchased a car.
B.On hearing that the Apollo moon landings were faked,Mia believed it.
C.Seeing the dirty windows of a restaurant,Mary decided its food was bad.
D.When picking a doctor,Jim merely accepted the recommendation from a friend.
11.What does the author intend to tell us?
A.To reflect on our thought patterns regularly.
B.Tothink twice before we make our decisions
C.To realize the consequences of faulty reasoning.
D.To adopt two pathways of thought before acting.
【答案】8. D 9.C 10.A 11.B
第6页/共22页【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要向读者讲述了很多人做决定前会考虑，并对其进行了说明。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Inthis case,the error is making a call based on the least of evidence.(在这种情
况下，错误是基于最少的证据做出判断。)”和文章第二段 “A research...has found that hasty judgments
are
often just one part of larger error-prone patterns in behavior and thinking.These patterns have costs.People who
tend to make such jumps in their reasoning often choose a bet in which they have low chances of winning instead
of one where their chances are much better.(伊利诺伊大学(University of Illinois)教授卡门·桑切斯(Carmen
Sanchez)和密歇根大学(University of Michigan)教授戴维·邓宁(David Dunning)的一项研究发现，草率的判
断往往只是行为和思维中容易出错的更大模式的一部分。这些模式有成本。那些倾向于在推理中做出这种
跳跃的人通常会选择胜算不大的赌注，而不是胜算大得多的赌注。)”可知，文章前两段主要讲述了思维
跳
跃者往往会犯心理错误。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The fisher would catch one fish at a time and stop only when players thought
they could say which lake was being fished.Some players had to see many fish before making a decision.Others
— thejumpers—stopped afteronly one or two.(渔民一次只能捕到一条鱼，只有当玩家认为他们能够说出在
哪 个湖钓鱼时才会停下来。有些玩家在做出决定前必须看到许多鱼。其他人——思维跳跃者——只跳了
一两
次就停止了。)”可知，非跳跃思维者在给湖命名前倾向于看到更多的鱼。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“and controlled,or system 2,consistingof effortful reasoning that is analytic,
mindful and intentional.It was found that jumpers and non-jumpers were equally influenced by automatic
thoughts.
The jumpers,however,did not engage in controlled reasoning to the same degree as non-jumpers.It is system 2
thinking that helps people counterbalance mental biases introduced by system 1.A lack of system 2 thinking is
also more broadly connected to their problematic beliefs and faulty reasoning.(受控的，或系统2,由分析的，
有意 识的和有意的努力推理组成。研究发现，跳跃者和非跳跃者受到自动思维的影响是一样的。然而，
跳跃者
并没有像非跳跃者那样进行控制推理。正是第二系统的思维方式帮助人们对抗由第一系统引入的心理偏
见。第二系统思维的缺乏也与他们有问题的信念和错误的推理有更广泛的联系。)”可知，在比较了不同的
品牌和车型后，大卫购买了一辆汽车，符合系统2。故选A。
【11题详解】
第7页/共22页推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In everyday life,the question of whether we should think things through or
instead go with our heart is a frequent and important one.Recent studies show that even gathering just a little bit
第7页/共22页more evidence may help us avoid amajor mistake.Sometimes the most important decision we make can be to take
some more time before making a choice.(在日常生活中，我们是应该深思熟虑，还是应该用心去做，这是
一
个频繁而重要的问题。最近的研究表明，即使再多收集一点证据，也可以帮助我们避免重大错误。有时
候，我们做出的最重要的决定可能是在做出选择之前多花些时间。)”可知，作者想要告诉我们在行动之前
应该三思而后行。故选B。
D
In today's digital era,social media users are increasingly coming across fake news online.This leads to the
pressing issue:What causes people to fall for misinformation on the Internet?
According to researchers at the Penn State College of Information Sciences and Technology,users can
easily fall into an echo chamber(回声室)—a sort of virtual space where users consume only one-sided
news,eventually distrusting any opposingviews.“We all tend to agree with the group opinion.Hence,people
naturally get together with others who hold the same opinion,”said Dongwon Lee,one of the researchers.“But if
you're not cautious,there
is a high risk of falling into an echo chamber.”
Toprevent this phenomenon,the researchers have crafted a novel tool,a game named ChamberBreaker,to help
players resist echo chambers and reduce the rate of fake news spread.The fundamental approach employed by
ChamberBreaker centers around a decision-making procedure that mirrors the creation of echo chambers.In
ChamberBreaker,a player is tasked with trying to have community members fall into an echo chamber.To
begin, the player is randomly assigned asituation that focuses on ahealth,political or environmental issue,and is
presented with six pieces of newsonthat topic.Then,the player selects news thatcould cause the other members
tofall into an echochamber while at the same time maintaining their trust.If successful,the community members
will fall into an
echo chamber and the player will witness the resulting negative effects on the community.
After developing ChamberBreaker,researchers tested it with over 800 subjects to see if it raised awareness
of echo chambers and changed news consumption behaviors.The researchers found that those who
played ChamberBreaker were significantly more likely to state their intention to observe online information
from more
diverse perspectives and showed an increased awareness of the echo chamber phenomenon.
Ultimately,the researchers hope that their methodology can excite a greater interest in the scientific
and scholarly study related to information consumption.The application of tools like ChamberBreaker,which
focuses on
fostering analytical reasoning,may lead us towards a more informed online community.
第8页/共22页12.What can be learned about an online echo chamber?
A.It encourages well-judged views.
B.It gathers like-minded individuals.
第8页/共22页C.It functions as a virtual reality platform.
D.It serves as a tool for identifying fake information.
13.What is ChamberBreaker's core method against echo chambers?
A.Assignment of situations B.Trust-building exercises.
C.News selection strategy D.Community impact assessment
14.Which of the following can show ChamberBreaker's effectiveness?
A.The results of scientific testing.
B.The theoretical framework of the game
C.The description of the game procedures
D.The common challenges faced during gameplay.
15 What is the likely long-term effect of playing ChamberBreaker?
A.Reducing news inquiry. B.Encouraging passive reading.
C.Strengthening prejudiced views. D.Enhancing critical thinking
【答案】12. B 13.C 14.A 15.D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨了在数字时代，社交媒体用户为什么容易陷入假新闻的陷阱，以及如
何通过一款名为ChamberBreaker的游戏工具来识别和抵制网络上的回声室效应。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“'We all tend to agree with the group opinion.Hence,people naturally get
together with others who hold the same opinion,'said Dongwon Lee,one of the researchers.(‘我们都倾向于认
同群体观 点。因此，人们自然会与持相同观点的人聚在一起，’研究人员之一 Dongwon Lee说。)”可
知，在线回声
室会聚集持有相同观点的个体。故选B 项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The fundamental approach employed by ChamberBreaker centers around a
decision- making procedure that mirrors the creation of echo chambers.In ChamberBreaker,a player is tasked
with trying to have community members fall into an echo chamber.To begin,the player is randomly assigned
a situation that focuses on a health,political or environmental issue,and is presented with six pieces of news on

康、
第9页/共22页政治或环境问题的情况，并收到六条关于该主题的新闻。然后，玩家选择可能导致其他成员落入回音室的
新闻，同时保持他们的信任。)”可知，ChamberBreaker对付回声室的核心方法是新闻选择策略。故选C
项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“After developing ChamberBreaker,researchers tested it with over 800 subjects to see
if it raised awareness of echo chambers and changed news consumption behaviors.The researchers found that

出 ChamberBreaker之后，研究人员对800多名受试者进行了测试，看看它是否提高了人们对回声室的
认识， 并改变了新闻消费行为。研究人员发现，玩ChamberBreaker的人更有可能从更多不同的角度观
察网络信 息，并且对回音室现象的意识也更强。)”可知，科学测试的结果可以显示ChamberBreaker
的有效性。故
选A 项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ultimately,the researchers hope that theirmethodology can excite a greater interest
in the scientific and scholarly study related to information consumption.The application of tools like
ChamberBreaker,which focuses on fostering analytical reasoning,may lead us towards a more informed online
community.(最终，研究人员希望他们的方法能够激发人们对与信息消费相关的科学和学术研究的更大兴
趣。 像ChamberBreaker 这样专注于培养分析推理能力的工具的应用，可能会引导我们走向一个信息更灵
通的在
线社区。)”可知，这意味着玩Chamber Breaker的长期效应可能是增强批判性思维。故选D 项。

How colour psychology influences your dinner party guests
After spending hours cooking and preparing the table setting for your guests,you hope thateveryone enjoys
your recipes.But it's not all about the quality of the ingredients and the skills of the cook. 6 Whether it is
a plate,a glass,a bowl or a cup,colour makes a significant impact on your guests.
17 After that first impression,the brain integrates the visual information and affects perception(认
知), making you think that the same food is excellent,good or average.Thus,the goal for dinner parties is to
ensure that
the food looks pleasing to the eye,so your guests will think it tastes as good as it looks
Bowl colour influences the desirability of food for picky eaters,as well as the perception of saltiness.Picky

new food ina red bowl. 18
第10页/共22页You can never go wrong with a white plate.Just avoid it when the food served is pale.For desserts,white is
idealbecause it increases flavors and enhances sweetness. 19 _Serving food in a black bowl can
increase
perceptions of its saltiness and portion size.
To bring extra aesthetic(审美的)appeal,creativity and to highlight foods lacking in colour,you can serve your
meal on bright plates.But be careful! 20 Similar ingredient colors to the tableware make everything
integrate together and your guests think they have less food.
A.It starts with your sight
B.But the result of dark plates can vary a little.
C.However,the rulesof colour may not apply to all.
D.Besides,colourful plates are preferred by choosy eaters.
E.Food should only look more vivid dependingon the meal.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国安徽省黄山地区猴魁茶的特色、制作技艺及其所蕴含的文化
遗产价值。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：位于安徽省南部的黄山市太平湖畔，海拔约800米的猴坑，似乎得到了大自然的
恩赐，是手工茶叶品种太平猴魁的产地。本句谓语为 seems, 此处为非谓语动词，且village 与
locate“把……安置在(或建造于)”为被动关系，应用过去分词，作后置定语，修饰名词village。故 填
located。
【37题详解】
第16页/共22页考查定语从句。句意：每年春天，雾蒙蒙的日子滋润着翠绿的山坡，村民们都知道他们的收成会到来。
本 空引导限制性定语从句，先行词是 Every spring,关系词代替先行词在从句中作时间状语，应用关系
副词
when 引导。故填when。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：第五代茶农方继凡表示：“如果没有适当的地理位置、植物品种或加工技术这三个关键
因素，就无法制作出完美的猴魁茶”。根据下文“any of three key factors —proper location,plant variety,or
processing technique—the perfect Kowkui will not be born(适当的地理位置、植物品种或加工技术这三个关键
因素，就无法制作出完美的猴魁茶)”可知，此处上下文说的是适当的位置、植物品种和加工技术是制作
完 美猴魁茶的必要因素，如果没有这些关键因素中的任何一个，就无法制作出理想的猴魁茶，可推理出
空白
处应用介词without 表示“没有”。故填Without。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这是我们家的一个标志。此处泛指“一个标志”,且signature 以辅音音素开头，应用不
定冠词a。 故填a。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：猴魁茶叶子异常大，常常让初次见到它的人误以为它是“蔬菜”,但在方继凡的眼中，
这种绿茶中的“王者”不仅仅在大小上胜过其他品种。空处使用副词exceptionally“特别，非常”,修饰
形
容词large, 作状语。故填exceptionally。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：猴魁茶叶子异常大，常常让初次见到它的人误以为它是“蔬菜”,但在方继凡的
眼中，这种绿茶中的“王者”不仅仅在大小上胜过其他品种。lead to“导致”,其中 to 为介词。本句谓语
为lead to,此处为非谓语动词，且mistake 和逻辑主语Kowkui's leaves 为被动关系，所以用过去分词，
此
处使用动名词的被动式，作 to 的宾语。故填 being mistaken。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：猴魁茶叶子异常大，常常让初次见到它的人误以为它是“蔬菜”,但在方继凡的眼中，
这种绿茶中的“王者”不仅仅在大小上胜过其他品种。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作宾语，使用名
词，根据空白处前面的形容词other可知，空处应填名词variety“不同种类”的复数形式，故填
varieties。
【43题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：去年11月，中国的传统茶叶加工技术和相关社会实践被列入联合国教科文组织
人 类非物质文化遗产代表作名录。根据时间状语Last November 可知，本句描述过去的动作，故时态用
一般
过去时，空处在句子中作谓语，且add“添加”与主语traditional tea processing techniques and associated
第17页/共22页social practices in China之间为被动关系，使用一般过去时的被动语态，又因主语traditional tea processing
第17页/共22页techniques and associated social practices为复数，助动词用were。故填were added。
【44 题详解】
考查连词。句意：安徽省茶文化研究会副会长郑毅表示：“茶文化不仅反映了生活中的高雅品味，还展
示 了工艺之美和人们的创造力”。“the beautyof craftsmanship(工艺之美)”与“people's creativity(人
们的创
造力)”为并列关系，使用连词and 连接。故填and。
【45题详解】
考查时态。句意：几个世纪以来，茶叶的香味为这片土地提供了营养。空处在句子中作谓语，根据句意和
句中 “For centuries”可 知 ，offer“提供”这一动作开始于过去，持续到现在，句子应用现在完成时，
又因
主语 the scent of tea leaves 是第三人称单数，所以助动词用has。也可以理解为offer 这一动作开始于过
去，持续到现在，并将继续持续下去，句子应用现在完成进行时have/has been doing,又因主语是第三人
称单数，所以助动词用has。故填has offered/has been offering。

The teacher had just announced that she was going to give a small gift to the boyor girl who answered the
most questions correctly in the tests they were going to have that day.What it was,she wouldn't say,except that it
was very nice,very pretty,and very tasty.
Of course that last word set everybody's mouth watering.
“Something tasty!”said Tadao.“I could use that right now.”
“And so could I,”said Enrica,whose mother had been so busy that morning looking after her two little sisters
and her baby brother that she had forgotten to make her lunch.
Then the tests began,and how everyone worked!When the teacher asked the questions aloud,hands flashed
up all over the room and waved about like trees in a high wind.When the answers had to be written,there was
an
unusual silence.It was lots of fun,and everyone had high hopes of winning the prize.
Slowly the hours dragged by,and poor Enrica got hungrier and hungrier every minute,imagining what she
would do with the prize if she won.
At last the tests were all over,the answers all checked,and the final grades all totaled up.
“Now,”said the teacher,“I'm ready to tell you the winner of the prize -Enrica,beating Renee by just one
point.”
At this moment the teacher opened her desk and took out a big chocolate egg,tied with a piece of wide blue
ribbon(丝带).
“How lovely!”cried everybody.
“Now just a moment,”said the teacher.“I have a second prize.It's in this box.”
Everyone looked and saw four little chocolate eggs.They looked good,too,but not as attractive as the big one
in the blue ribbon
Enrica came forward to receive her prize.She had looked at both prizes and was thinking hard.
“Please,”she stammered(结结巴巴地说),“would -would you mind ifI had the second prize instead?”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右：
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The teacher was so surprised that she hardly knew what to say
第20页/共22页Enrica just ran home with the second prize box for her sisters and brother
【答案】Possible version 1:
The teacher was so surprised that she hardly knew what to say.She had thoughtthat anyone would have been
excited to take the beautiful gift she was offering.But,she thought,Enrica is always a good girl,and she must
have a reason for her unusual request.So she gave her the second prize,and Renee was excited to get the first
prize after
all.Of course,every boy and girl in the classwanted to know why Enrica had done such a strange thing,but she
didn't say a word.
Enrica just ran home with the second prize box for her sisters and brother.She didn't even open it to take one
bite on the way.When she got home and carefully unwrapped the box,four small,attractive chocolate eggs were
revealed.The faces of her little sisters and baby brother lit up with pleasure as they saw the treats.If any of
Enrica's school friends have peeped inside her home that evening,they would have found four happiest children in
the world sitting onthe kitchen floor and enjoying the chocolateeggs.With a warm glow inside,Enrica realized
that the real prize wasn't the chocolate eggs themselves,but the happiness she had shared withher family.
Possible version 2:
The teacher was sosurprised that she hardly knew what to say.“Of course,Enrica,if that's what you want,”
she finally managed to respond.The class was silent for a moment,then burst into applause,touched by Enrica's
selflessness.Enrica smiled shyly,took the box with the four little chocolate eggs,and glanced at theteacher,who
gave her an encouraging nod.With a quick look at her classmates,Enrica turned and hurried out of the
classroom,
eager to share her prize.
Enrica just ran home with the second prize box for her sisters and brother.As she entered her house,she
was
greeted by the sight ofher mother struggling to calm the baby while her two little sisters played quietly nearby.
“Mama,look what I won!”Enrica called out,holding upthe box.Her mother's tired face lit up with a smile.“Oh,
Enrica,that's wonderful!”Enrica quickly handed out the little chocolate eggs to her siblings,who squealed with
第21页/共22页delight.The baby gurgled happily,and her sisters hugged her tightly.Enrica felt awarm sense of fulfillment.She
realized that the joy she had brought to her family was far more precious than the biggest chocolate egg in the
world.
