The anchoring effect, a prevalent cognitive bias in the financial sector, significantly skews our investment
decisions. It serves as a mental shortcut that simplifies complex financial assessments by relying on the
first piece of information encountered. This can lead to suboptimal investment choices, as it may cause
investors to cling to outdated or irrelevant data, ignoring more recent and pertinent financial indicators.
This is a primary reason why some financial advisors can influence clients to maintain investments that are
no longer profitable, and why certain investment firms can sustain higher fees despite market downturns.
Contrary to the assumption that investors are solely swayed by initial data points, some research suggests
that when investors are prompted to reassess their positions, they might perceive alternative investments as
more lucrative. However, when faced with the decision to act, they often revert to the initial anchor. This
could explain the divergence between investors' stated goals and their actual investment actions, such as
holding onto losing stocks or continuing with underperforming funds.
It might be seductive to regard the anchoring effect as an obstacle, something to be surmounted as it might
seem to hinder our progress toward achieving financial objectives. Yet, adopting such a perspective could
be self-defeating, as it steers us toward a macro-level mindset where change is perceived as necessitating a
radical and dramatic overhaul that investors might not be prepared to undertake. Some financial literature
第 2页 /共 9页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司proposes that the remedy for the frustration stemming from anchoring is to immerse oneself in diverse
investment opportunities. While this might appear effective in the short term, it could result in merely
substituting one set of risks for another, with the added danger of feeling overwhelmed and facing
financial exhaustion.
What if, instead, we could leverage the anchoring effect to our advantage? Anchoring is not merely a
limitation but also a foundation for informed decision-making and a pathway for financial growth. We can
incrementally expand our investment horizons. By conceptualizing anchoring as a malleable concept, we
can modify the conditions within and around our financial strategies to create more room for our
investment preferences to take root and evolve steadily. From this vantage point, we will start to make
choices from an increasingly diverse pool of valuable opportunities.
4. What enables financial advisors to influence clients to maintain unprofitable investments? ______
A. The superior investment strategy.
B. The initial data points.
C. The anchoring effect.
D. The market dynamics.
5. What insight can be gained from the second paragraph? ______
A. Initial data points always lead to better investments.
B. Investors tend to disregard new financial indicators.
C. The anchoring effect has both positive and negative aspects.
D. There is often a gap between investment goals and actions.
6. What is the author's stance on the solution proposed by some literature? ______ A. Critical.
B. Accepting.
C. Neutral.
D. Cautious.
7. How should we approach the anchoring effect according to the passage? ______ A. To consider it
as an impediment.
B. To prioritize it above all else.
C. To replace it with a diverse range of investments.
D. To subtly utilize it to expand our investment perspectives.
C
In the corporate jungle, loyalty often trumps personal gain, as demonstrated by a recent study on team
dynamics. Researchers found that employees are willing to forgo individual recognition to maintain strong
team bonds, even when it means missing out on potential career advancements.
第 3页 /共 9页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Dr. Alex Thornton, a specialist in organizational behavior, explained the study: "We monitored the
interactions of numerous employees within a company, each identified with a unique code. We created
two teams, Alpha and Beta, and set up a system where only members from the same team working
together could access exclusive resources and opportunities." If members from different teams, Alpha with
Beta, attempted to collaborate, they were denied access. Individual efforts were rewarded with basic
recognition, but not the coveted opportunities they sought.
Thornton said, "The goal was to see if employees could form new alliances for better opportunities. They
might have allies in the wrong team. Would they abandon them to align with those who could offer better
prospects? Employees proved to be strategic, quickly learning to leave behind less advantageous alliances
for better opportunities. However, they showed a different side when it came to their core team members,
even if it meant forgoing opportunities."
Thornton highlighted that employees were an ideal subject for the study as they were intelligent and had
complex social networks within the company. "You have individuals networking beyond their immediate
team, engaging with a variety of colleagues. They are akin to the intricate dynamics of human society."
Michael Kings, a professor of business psychology at the University of Exeter, commented, "These
findings enhance our comprehension of social intelligence development, illustrating that the ability to
monitor and recall information about team members can lead to collective benefits."
8. According to the experiment, what do employees prioritize above all else?
A. Their immediate team.
B. Their professional network.
C. Avoiding career stagnation.
D. Securing individual opportunities.
9. What can be inferred about the employees in the experiment?
A. Employees from different teams received basic recognition.
B. Employees working alone received the exclusive opportunities.
C. Employees with their core team received nothing.
D. Employees from the same team accessed exclusive opportunities.
10. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By making employees act like their coded identities suggested.
B. By observing how employees interacted when competing for resources.
C. By examining the dynamics between the two created teams.
D. By comparing employee behavior to that of other organizational models.
11. What is the purpose of the final paragraph?
A. To elucidate the broader implications of the research.
B. To offer potential explanations for the observed behaviors.

I was uncertain about what I was seeking when I moved to Florence, Italy, for an art residency. I craved an
artistic renaissance, a significant change from the routine of my hometown where my canvases felt
uninspired. What I anticipated to be the most transformative experience was my temporary studio: a
monthlong stay within the bustling community of local artists.
At the time, I was dabbling in Renaissance art techniques, but there was so much I couldn't master or
appreciate fully. As we strolled through the cobblestone streets, my mentor would inquire if I was lost,
then mimic a bewildered look to ensure I grasped her meaning. In the atelier, she demonstrated the art of
mixing pigments with her hands. My fellow artists would discuss their work, conversing in a rapid,
passionate manner that left me catching only fragments, as we ventured down ancient alleyways; I'd listen
and nod in understanding, albeit imperfect.
This linguistic barrier was oddly liberating. In the familiar art classes back home, I always felt the pressure
to fit in. I'd carefully select my words, anxiously attempting to avoid being perceived as derivative or
uninspired. In Florence, the concern for perfect expression vanished. I could only gesture and utter the few
phrases I'd learned: "May I assist?" "Where is the muse?" "Is the artwork complete?" My artist
companions chuckled at my awkward gestures and pronunciation, but amidst their laughter, I felt
embraced and unafraid of judgment.
With my Italian artist family in the heart of Florence, I discovered an artistic ease I'd never encountered.
We were a diverse group, they and I, with differences stretching beyond language. Their hands were
calloused from years of sculpting and painting; mine were soft from a sheltered artistic upbringing. My
colleagues had grown accustomed to the challenges of the art world; I had only known the comforts of an
academic setting.
For me, these differences highlighted the importance of authenticity over comparison. Without the usual
social benchmarks, I no longer obsessed over my standing. Only genuine attributes—like generosity and
creativity—mattered.
12. Why did the author choose to go to Florence for an art residency?
A. She aspired to a rebirth of her art.
B. She was weary of the monotony back home.
C. She was required to study Renaissance techniques.
D. She was compiling a new art curriculum.
13. What does the word "shiver" in paragraph 2 imply?
A. A gesture of shared confusion.
第 5页 /共 9页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司B. An artistic shudder of inspiration.
C. A reaction to the cold.
D. A moment of artistic awe.
14. How did the author interact in the art classes in her home country?
A. She thrived in the creative atmosphere.
B. She was cautious with her artistic expressions.
C. She frequently initiated humorous discussions.
D. She often used humor to engage with others.
15. What valuable lesson did the author glean from her time in Italy?
A. Artistic judgment is universal.
B. The grandeur of art can make one feel small.
C. One's art reflects their lifestyle.
D. Genuine kindness is a universal artistic virtue.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I knew I would have a beyond-busy summer. I was set to be a junior teacher for the Little Dragons Karate
Camp, and I had also joined the summer swim team. But there was more; Ollie and I had just launched our
dog-walking business, and we already had a couple of clients lined up.
"You might be biting off more than you can chew," my mom said with a warning glance when I shared my
plans, adding, "I want to do everything!"
第 8页 /共 9页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司"Don't worry," I replied with a grin. "I have strong teeth!"
My mom smiled back. "In this case, it's your organizational skills, not your teeth, that need to be strong." I
brushed off her concern.
The first week was surprisingly manageable. With Ollie away and the karate camp still on the horizon, I
only had my swimming gear to worry about. The second week was equally smooth. I swam and even
received a compliment from a Little Dragon at the karate camp, who declared me his favorite teacher.
However, I soon realized that juggling two activities was more challenging. My backpack was already full
with swim gear, so I needed a separate one for my karate attire. Navigating from the karate camp to the
pool with two backpacks was no easy feat, but I was still in control—until Ollie returned.
"We're behind on our business preparations!" he exclaimed. "We need to use every spare minute to get
things in order."
"But I don't have any spare minutes!" I protested.
"Did you forget we agreed to walk Alfie every Saturday and Muffin on Tuesdays at 4:00?" Ollie reminded
me. I couldn't let him down, so I procured a third backpack, filling it with dog toys, treats, and plastic bags.
I thought I had everything figured out.
But I was mistaken. It didn't take long for the chaos to ensue. My belongings for dog-walking, karate, and
swimming were soon a tangled mess, often forgotten or misplaced. One day, I left my karate backpack
behind and had to borrow an ill-fitting outfit from Emma. The next, I remembered my karate gear but
neglected my swimsuit, forcing me to spend the afternoon assisting at the snack shop instead of swimming.
And on another occasion, when I reached into my dog-walking backpack for plastic bags, all I found were
misplaced swim goggles and sunscreen.
As the summer days grew hotter, the pressure mounted. I was determined to excel in all my commitments,
but the mounting disarray threatened to unravel my carefully laid plans. Little did I know, a twist of fate
was just around the corner, one that would challenge my resolve and force me to reevaluate my priorities.
But that's a story for another day...注意：
(1)续写词数应为150左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Worse still, I had to keep track of all the special times.
