Why Stand in Line on Black Friday
Standing in line is a pain. At the post office. At the box office. At a restaurant. ___16___The first spot outside some Best Buy stores is usually claimed (认领) weeks in advance often by a person in a tent. Shoppers at Walmart will print out maps of the store, with circles around their primary targets. ___17___
“These queues are quite different than the usual annoying ones we come across day to day at the ATM or in the subway,” said Richard Larson, a professor at MIT who has spent years studying line behavior. “Once a year,” he said, “the lines are exciting. They’re the kind you might tell your grandchildren about.” ___18___ Billie LeClere, 45, was first in line on Thursday at Walmart in Manchester, Iowa. She said she was a regular Black Friday shopper. But this year, she came with a specific purpose: to get a good deal on a new TV. She and her husband had recently separated, and he had taken the old TV earlier that day. “The marriage died, not the TV,” she said. ___19___ “It’s going to be nice to have something that’s newer-and it’s mine, not his.”
___20___ The following are two of the typical results. The “gotta have it” atmosphere makes people more anxious. Sometimes the behaviour of the queue turns violent. Therefore，lines test patience，personal space especially on Black Friday, when the crowds can be overwhelming (势不可挡的).
A. Shoppers are excited to buy gifts.
B. But on Black Friday, it’s an experience.
C. Moreover, the crowds are queuing for good deals.
D. Many families are queuing to chat with each other.
E. The experience gave her a sense of accomplishment.
F. They are trying to turn the experience into an adventure.
G. The behaviour of people in lines has inspired decades of research.

If you’re an un-decider, even the simplest decisions can make your pulse race. ____16____ .Here are some strategies for spending less time worrying about decisions.
Go for good enough
Since perfectionism and indecision often go hand in hand, you should be moving from a mind-set that “only the best will do” to “good enough is good enough”. It helps to reflect on your original goal. Did you begin the exhausting online shopping to find a toaster that could clean itself, roast carrots and also charge your cellphone Or were you just looking for something that would brown your bread ____17____ .
Outsource ( 外包) decisions
Research has shown that choices weaken the willpower and lead to decision fatigue (疲劳). That’s why indecisive people are advised to pick their “battles”. ____18____ . When it comes to wine, for example, all I want is a good glass with dinner. So rather than studying which to choose, I leave the decision to my local wine store, asking it to send me a case of surprises once in a while.
The 90 percent Rule
When a yes-or-no decision has many pros and cons, try the “90 percent rule”. This involves evaluating an opportunity on a scale from 0 to 100. If your interest falls anywhere below 90 percent, reduce its score to zero and reject it. ____19____ . Why would you deliberately choose to feel that way about an important choice in your life
____20____
If you’re deciding whether to move across the country, imagine you’ve asked your best friend to choose for you. On the big day, she hands you an envelope; inside, it announces you’re leaving next month. Do you feel excited Or disappointed Using thought experiments to separate important variables can help you cut through the fog to see clarity.
A. Cut through the fog
B. Turn to friends for help
C. You could rely on habits and routines
D. In other words, be choosy about choosing
E. Remembering your purpose can simplify the process
F. Think about how you’d feel if you scored a 65 on some test
G. And big, life-changing choices can cause a state of breaking down
【分析】这是一篇说明文。很多人都有决策困难，作者在文中介绍了几个减少为决策操心的时间的策略。
16【答案】G根据前文“If you’re an un-decider, even the simplest decisions can make your pulse race.(如果你是一个决定困难的人，即使是最简单的决定也会让你心跳加速)”可知，此处是讲对于一个有决定困难的人，做决定会让他非常紧张，选项G“而改变生活的重大选择会导致崩溃”也是讲做决定对这种人的影响，切合文意。故选G。
17【答案】E根据前文“It helps to reflect on your original goal.(它有助于反思你最初的目标)”可知，此处是指要记住你的目标是什么，对应选项E中的“Remembering your purpose”，根据前文“Did you begin the exhausting online shopping to find a toaster that could clean itself, roast carrots and also charge your cellphone Or were you just looking for something that would brown your bread (你开始在网上购物的时候，是不是发现了一个可以自己清洗、烤胡萝卜和给手机充电的烤面包机？或者你只是在找能让你的面包变褐色的东西？)”可知，选项E中的the process是指这个选择过程，而记住最初的目的可以简化这个过程，所以选项E“记住你的目的可以简化这个过程”切合文意。故选E。
18【答案】D根据前文“That’s why indecisive people are advised to pick their “battles”.(这就是为什么优柔寡断的人被建议选择他们的“战斗”)”可知，优柔寡断的人的战斗就是“选择”，所以此处是指选择他们的“选择”，和“be choosy about choosing”意思相同，对应选项D中的“In other words”。根据后文“When it comes to wine, for example, all I want is a good glass with dinner. So rather than studying which to choose, I leave the decision to my local wine store, asking it to send me a case of surprises once in a while.(例如，说到葡萄酒，我只想在晚餐时喝上一杯。因此，我没有研究该选哪一种，而是把决定权交给了当地的葡萄酒店，让它偶尔给我寄一箱惊喜)”可知，此处就是指把选择权交给别人，然后对别人提供的选择进行挑剔。所以选项D“换言之，对选择要有选择”切合文意。故选D。
19【答案】F前文“If your interest falls anywhere below 90 percent, reduce its score to zero and reject it.(如果你的兴趣在90%以下，把分数减到零，然后拒绝)”对应选项F中的scored，根据后文“Why would you deliberately choose to feel that way about an important choice in your life (为什么你会故意对你生命中的一个重要选择有这种感觉？)”可知，此处是指想象一下自己在测试中得了65分时的感觉，想一想为什么你会故意对你生命中的一个重要选择有这种感觉。所以选项F“想想如果你在考试中得了65分你会有什么感觉”切合文意。故选F。
20【答案】A根据后文“Using thought experiments to separate important variables can help you cut through the fog to see clarity.(利用思维实验来分离重要的变量，可以帮助你拨开迷雾，看清真相)”可知，此处是指拨开迷雾，看清真相。所以选项A“拨开迷雾”切合文意。故选A。

Should you listen to music when you work Some will say they love it, claiming that it improves their performance; others will say they cannot work effectively with music playing in the background. ____36____ It just depends on what sort of work you’re doing.
In a recent study, we brought participants into our lab with a variety of tasks. They included an easy task — searching through word lists and crossing out words containing the letter “a” and a more difficult task — memorizing word pairs and recalling the partner to each word. Some participants completed all of the tasks in silence, whereas others completed the tasks with instrumental music that was either loud or soft, and either simple or complex, the latter meaning music with more instrumental tracks. ____37____
We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about the same on the easy task. ____38____ Contrarily, participants performed worse on the more difficult task when they listened to any music, regardless of complexity or volume, compared to those who didn’t listen to any music.
____39____ Not surprisingly, we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources when we perform easy tasks, whereas demanding tasks require more brainpower. However, because we might be less engaged during easier tasks, there’s a greater risk of drifting off to sleep. Music might give us the extra boost we need to get refreshed. ____40____ Listening to music can become overkill (过犹不及). So we have to strike a balance between the type of music and the type of task.
A. What should we make of these findings
B. Several key findings emerged from our study.
C. However, difficult tasks already demand a lot of our mental resources.
D. Our research has found that the effects of work may depend on our personalities.
E. We want to develop a more comprehensive framework that could be applied broader.
F. However, participants who listened to complex music performed best on the easy task.
G. Interestingly enough, our research has found that both of these perspectives can be true.
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过实验来讨论工作的时候该不该听音乐。
36【答案】G根据前文“Some will say they love it, claiming that it improves their performance; others will say they cannot work effectively with music playing in the background.(有些人会说他们喜欢它，声称它能提高他们的表现;其他人会说他们不能在背景音乐的情况下有效地工作。)”和后文“It just depends on what sort of work you’re doing.(这要看你在做什么工作了。)”可知，不同人对于工作能否听音乐的看法，取决于所做的工作，所以说两种说法都有可取之处。所以选择项G“Interestingly enough, our research has found that both of these perspectives can be true.(有趣的是，我们的研究发现，这两种观点都可能是正确的。)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
37【答案】B结合上下两段，题干前文“In a recent study, we brought participants into our lab with a variety of tasks. They included an easy task — searching through word lists and crossing out words containing the letter “a” and a more difficult task — memorizing word pairs and recalling the partner to each word. Some participants completed all of the tasks in silence, whereas others completed the tasks with instrumental music that was either loud or soft, and either simple or complex, the latter meaning music with more instrumental tracks”主要介绍了实验参照组之间的区别还有实验流程，后段就开始阐述实验发现，可见题干肯定是总结实验获得了收获。所以选择项B“Several key findings emerged from our study. (我们的研究得出了几个关键的发现。)”符合上下文语境。故选B。
38【答案】F结合前后文，该段肯定在说不同参照组的实验结果。根据前句“We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about the same on the easy task.(我们发现，听简单音乐或不听音乐的参与者在简单任务上的表现都差不多。)”和后句“Contrarily, participants performed worse on the more difficult task when they listened to any music, regardless of complexity or volume, compared to those who didn’t listen to any music.( 相反，与没听音乐的人相比，听音乐的人在更难的任务上表现得更差，不管音乐的复杂性或音量大小。)”可知，这里为复杂任务听复杂音乐进行讨论。所以选择项F“However, participants who listened to complex music performed best on the easy task. (然而，听复杂音乐的参与者在简单任务上表现最好。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。
39【答案】A结合题干后文“Not surprisingly, we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources when we perform easy tasks, whereas demanding tasks require more brainpower.”毫不奇怪，当我们执行简单的任务时，我们通常需要更少的脑力资源，而要求更高的任务需要更多的脑力。说的是一些建议，可见讨论的是如何充分利用这个实验结果。所以选择项A“What should we make of these findings (我们应该如何理解这些发现 )”符合上下文语境。故选A。
40【答案】C根据后文“Listening to music can become overkill (过犹不及). So we have to strike a balance between the type of music and the type of task.(听音乐可能会变得过犹不及。所以我们必须在音乐类型和任务类型之间取得平衡。)”可知，复杂任务不适合听音乐，因为复杂任务本身就需要精神力消耗。所以选择项C“However, difficult tasks already demand a lot of our mental resources. (然而，困难的任务已经需要我们大量的精神资源。)”符合上下文语境。故选C。

2023届江苏省姜堰中学、如东中学、沭阳如东中学高三下学期5月联考
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Take a bottle of soda, and shake it really hard. Gas will form inside, causing a buildup of pressure. Twist the cap off. Pressure will be released from the bottle, and soda will shoot everywhere.
____36____ Pressure builds up inside a volcano as gas forms in magma (岩浆), which is hot liquid rock beneath the surface of the earth. Gas bubbles in the volcano need to escape. When a volcano erupts, magma is pushed up through the opening with great force. When magma reaches the earth’s surface, it’s called lava (熔岩).
Some volcanic eruptions are explosive. Lava shoots into the sky. Gas and hot pieces of rock and ash are also released. The intensity of an eruption depends on a few factors. One is the magma’s temperature. Another is the magma’s thickness. ____37____
Volcanic eruptions can cause other natural disasters. These include landslides, mudslides, earthquakes and tsunamis. Volcanoes can be destructive. ____38____ The Hawaiian Islands were created by the eruptions of large low-lying volcanoes which are made up of layers of hardened lava.
____39____ Ash from volcanoes adds helpful minerals to soil. This helps plants grow strong. Healthy plants produce oxygen for humans and animals to breathe. Volcanoes also remove heat from the earth’s interior (内部), which helps keep our planet cool.
In recent years, a new benefit of volcanoes has surfaced. ____40____ Their measures involve using the heat beneath the earth’s surface to produce electricity.
Volcanoes may be unpredictable. However, as we learn more about how they work, they will become even more important to life on the earth.
A. However, they can also create new land.
B. Volcanoes can become more dangerous.
C. A volcanic eruption works much the same way.
D. Scientists are using volcanoes to help power cities.
E. The amount of gas trapped inside is also an important one.
F. Volcanoes are threatening the life of people across the world.
G. Volcanoes have played an important role in shaping the earth.
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章对火山的形成、喷发强度的决定因素、火山的危害和好处等进行了介绍。
36【答案】C根据前文“Take a bottle of soda, and shake it really hard. Gas will form inside, causing a buildup of pressure. Twist the cap off. Pressure will be released from the bottle, and soda will shoot everywhere.”(拿瓶苏打水，用力摇晃。气体会在里面形成，造成压力的积聚。把盖子拧下来。压力会从瓶子里释放出来，苏打水会喷得到处都是。)可知，选项A中的the same way就是指指苏打水从瓶子里喷出来的方式，根据后文“Pressure builds up inside a volcano as gas forms in magma (岩浆), which is hot liquid rock beneath the surface of the earth. Gas bubbles in the volcano need to escape. When a volcano erupts, magma is pushed up through the opening with great force.”(当气体在岩浆中形成时，压力在火山内部积聚(岩浆), 它是地球表面下的热液体岩石。火山中的气泡需要逸出。当火山喷发时，岩浆会被巨大的力量推上火山口。)可知，火山爆发的方式和前文中提到的相同。所以选项C“火山爆发的作用方式大致相同。”切合文意。故选C。
37【答案】E根据前文“The intensity of an eruption depends on a few factors. One is the magma’s temperature. Another is the magma’s thickness.”(喷发的强度取决于几个因素。一是岩浆的温度。另一个是岩浆的厚度。)可知，此处是讲决定喷发的强度的几个因素，并且前文中已经出现两个，所以选项E“被困在里面的气体量也是一个重要因素。”是讲第三个因素，切合文意。故选E。
38【答案】A根据后文“The Hawaiian Islands were created by the eruptions of large low-lying volcanoes which are made up of layers of hardened lava.”(夏威夷群岛是由大型低洼火山喷发形成的，这些火山是由坚硬的熔岩层组成的。)可知，此处是讲火山喷发也会创造新的土地，对应选项A中的“they can also create new land”(它们还可以创造新的土地)，又和前文“Volcanoes can be destructive.”(火山具有破坏性。)构成转折关系，对应选项A中的转折词however。所以选项A切合文意。故选A。
39【答案】G根据后文“Ash from volcanoes adds helpful minerals to soil. This helps plants grow strong. Healthy plants produce oxygen for humans and animals to breathe. Volcanoes also remove heat from the earth’s interior (内部), which helps keep our planet cool.”(火山灰为土壤添加了有益的矿物质。这有助于植物茁壮成长。健康的植物产生氧气供人和动物呼吸。火山也会带走地球内部的热量, 有助于保持地球凉爽。)可知，此处是讲火山对地球起到了重要作用，所以选项G“火山在塑造地球方面起了重要作用。”切合文意。故选G。
40【答案】D根据后文“Their measures involve using the heat beneath the earth’s surface to produce electricity.”(他们的措施包括利用地表下的热量发电。)和前文“In recent years, a new benefit of volcanoes has surfaced.”(近年来，火山的一个新的好处浮出水面。)可知，此处是指利用火山发电，所以选项D“科学家们正在利用火山为城市供电。”切合文意。故选D。

Since the 1980s eco-tourism has grown and grown. It is the fastest growing type of tourism.
If done well, eco-tourism has several advantages. It is kinder to the environment. ___16___This means that more natural habitat is protected and that the resources for building come from sustainable (可持续的) sources.Another advantage is that people in the developed world through eco-tourism get to experience places of great natural importance as well as communicating with local people. ___17___
However, there are some disadvantages of eco-tourism. It is felt by some environmentalists that any human activity will cause disorder in the routine of animals. ___18___
Another problem for local people is that they are expected to pose for cameras and dance etc. for money. ___19___The tourists are destroying the culture that they are paying to protect.
Eco-tourism tries to go to the places far away from other communities. ___20___There is nothing stopping people taking money from tourists as well as doing environmentally unfriendly activities.
It seems that the disadvantages often outweigh the advantages of eco-tourism. It might be better to take pictures of animals rather than kill animals, but given the choice the animals would sooner not have people around. It seems whether eco-tourism should be allowed should be judged case-by-case, and that the local people must be considered.
A. These places are often not well policed.
B. People walking through the forest may do much harm.
C. And these activities will also damage the eco-system.
D. It seldom ends people to untouched parts of the world.
E. This is good for both parties: they both can better understand each other.
