The following chart is provided by Elizabeth Weise from《America Today》. It shows the growth of the immersive schools in America.
Immersive (沉浸式) Schools in AmericaIn recent years, there have been quite a few Chinese immersive schools in America. Full Immersion: Pre-k children aged 2 to 4 are fully immersed in Chinese all day — 5 days per week. Part Immersion: Children (in kindergarten through Grade 5 in primary schools, from Grade 6 to Grade 8 in middle schools) learn all subjects in both Chinese and English.
Based on The Daily Advertiser’s report, foreign children at the age of about 5 are having Chinese lessons like this:
Zhaoting Xia, a 29-year-old teacher, holds paper copies of Chinese currency and invites kids up one at a time to use the “money” to purchase something from her pretend fruit stand.
One of the students, a 5-year-old boy, picks out his money and greets Xia with “ni hao”, starting the conversation as he has been taught. Then he works in some vocabulary words to ask for a plastic ear of corn. Xia tells him the price, and he counts the money in his hand before making the exchange. They finish with “xiexie” or “thank you”.
In this one exercise, they’ve practiced a lot in such a “real situation”. And all of this takes place in Chinese.
21．What can we learn about the immersive schools in America based on the chart
A．Children in them are aged 2 to 4.
B．They accept only Chinese children in America.
C．All the teachers in the immersive schools come from China.
D．The immersive schools have greatly increased in America since 2007.

B．Knowing about “Chinese money — renminbi”.
C．Counting the number from 1-10 in Chinese.

23．What might Elizabeth Weise be
A．A teacher. B．A headmaster.
C．A reporter. D．A director.

The incident took place, believe it or not, on the playground. I was something of a football player, but I had never been a good player, far less a great one. I played for the mere physical joy that I got out of the game, but I played with a will, and put my whole heart into the game. The result was that, though I had plenty of energy and enthusiasm, I was never picked for my college team.
Let me confess frankly that this was only because there was another player in the same position who happened to be much better than me. I considered myself the better sportsman, but he was certainly the greater player. So I never grumbled or complained. I was content to wait and bide my time.
And at last my patience was rewarded. It was for me a very special day. Our team had shot up into the final and was meeting its rival(竞争对手). Our star player sent word at the last moment that he was ill and he could not take the field. Imagine the astonishment in the college camp! The thought was that the game was as good as lost, and so also, I confess, did I for this player was our trump card(王牌): That is what everybody always said. However, something had to be done, and that something had to be myself! The captain called me up almost apologetically for having failed to recognize my greatness before, and—there I was, on the playground, greeted by the cheers of my friends, and a few jeers from those who had little faith in my prowess.
I can tell you that I played like a demon(魔鬼). I was here, there and everywhere—now leading the attack, now falling back to help the defense. It was indeed a thrilling moment in my life. For a time, I was the center of all attention, the object of universal applause, and “the observed of all observers”. And, believe it or not, it was I who put in the winning goal. It marked the top of a glorious day. Even now I look back on the episode with unmixed pleasure and satisfaction.

B．He helped his school team to enter the final.
C．He was finally considered as the trump card.
D．He became a replacement for the sick player.
26．Why did the author say it was a thrilling moment in his life
A．He showed off his patience to the fullest.
B．The audience applauded his performance.
C．The audience observed players attacking.

When some people hear self-discipline, they think that it’s boring. They equate a disciplined life to feelings of entrapment. Allow me to tell you a story.
On a hot sunny day, Bertha is buzzing by her hive with some other bees, just relaxing and having a good time. Suddenly a bear starts to approach her hive for some honey and bee eggs. To save her hive, Bertha stings the bear. But its skin is so thick that once she tries to pull her sting out she dismembers(肢解) herself and dies.
The sad part is that Bertha has no choice. Through years of evolution she has developed a biological reaction to dangers—to sting threats. If she had known she would die, she might have flown away and saved her own life.
Bees are prisoners of their own biology, but humans can override their biology through self-discipline.
Most people have long-term desires for lasting relationships, meaningful careers or healthy bodies but are constantly tempted by short term pleasures, such as junk food or video games. Deep down they really want the life that comes in the long term. Yet they keep giving in to short-term pleasures.
The only difference is self-discipline. Luckily, humans have the ability to practice self-discipline. It gives us the freedom to achieve what we truly want in life and allow us to break free of the biological or societal cages around us. But it’s not that simple.
Companies are aware of our natural, biological reactions and use this against us by using supernormal stimuli. An example is junk food. Our ancestors were wired to seek out and enjoy fat and salty food because it was so rare at the time. But now companies have genetically engineered food to include more fats and salts than ever before in order to make us desire it even more.
Social media and the Internet as a whole is another form of supernormal stimuli. Humans are biologically wired to seek out novelty. For our ancestors novelty could lead to more knowledge about the world, which could lead to more wisdom that helped us thrive as a species. It has its usefulness. However, the Internet has been designed to take advantage of this desire for novelty by showing you more novelty than you can ever dream of. Every page links out more pages. And every video to a video with even more novelty. Videogames do the same thing.
On the plus side, however, you and I are not like the bee, because we are not cased by our own biology. With self-discipline, we can live the life we truly want. We have the choice to be free.
28．Why is the story of Bertha mentioned in paragraph two
A．To illustrate what evolution is.
B．To arouse readers’ sympathy for Bertha.
C．To draw readers’ attention to self-discipline.
D．To offer a perfect example of self-discipline.
29．What does the underlined word “stimuli” in paragraph seven most probably mean
A．Something that encourages certain reactions.
B．Something that is unhealthy for people to eat.
C．Something that does good to our mental health.
D．Something that discourages people from taking action.
30．What is the author’s attitude towards social media and the Internet
A．Approving. B．Objective. C．Critical. D．Cautious.
31．What makes the author think humans are lucky compared with bees
A．Humans’ blessing of an advanced biological system.
B．Humans’ desires to live an ideal life.
C．Humans’ eagerness to overcome inborn disadvantages.
D．Humans’ ability to practice self-discipline.
D
What strategy do you use to make tough life decisions like whether to end a relationship, quit your job, or go back to school Maybe you weigh the advantages and disadvantages. Maybe you go with your sixth sense. Or maybe, if you’re like most people, you simply do nothing. After all, we have a tendency to prefer the status quo (现状), and focus more on the potential losses involved with change rather than the potential benefits.
But here’s a simpler strategy: When you’re indecisive about a big life decision, choose the path of change. That’s the takeaway of research recently published by Steven Levitt, an economist at the University of Chicago.
For the study, Levitt asked people who were facing tough decisions to flip(抛) a digital coin on the website . The coin tosses were randomized, with one side representing change, the other status quo. The study asked more than 20,000 participants to make whichever decision the coin toss directed, and then report back on how things played out after two and six months.
Of course, not everyone followed through. The two-month survey found that participants chose change less frequently than they had initially predicted they would. After six months, however, this tendency toward inaction disappeared. But most surprising were the results on well-being. At both the two and six-month marks, most people who chose change reported feeling happier, better off, and that they had made the correct decision.
The study had some limitations. One is that its participants weren’t selected randomly. Another limitation is that participants whose decision didn’t play out well might have been less likely to report back on their status after two and six months. Still, the study does suggest that people who are on the edge of a tough decision are probably better off going with change. Levitt isn’t suggesting you flip a coin to make all decisions. But coin-flipping does seem to have some benefits. Levitt notes that some people might prefer giving in to their fate to randomness in order to avoid regret. But you can also use randomness a bit more sensibly. When facing a tough decision, you could flip a coin and, upon seeing the outcome, notice whether you feel relief or fright. If you feel relieved, that’s probably the path you should choose.
32．What is most people’s priority when making hard choices
A．Calculating potential losses.
B．Valuing potential benefits.
C．Following inner voice of one’s mind.
D．Making a change to the status quo.
33．What are the findings of the two surveys
A．Making changes brought most participants happiness.
B．All participants gave immediate feedback on their status.
C．Participants’ action agreed with their initial prediction.
D．More participants remained inactive after six months.
34．What is a limitation of the study
A．The randomness of picking study subjects.
B．The incorrect method of flipping a coin.
C．The insufficiency of study statistics.
D．The insensible outcome of the analysis.
35．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Coin flips are beneficial to making hard choices.
B．When facing a hard decision, choose the status quo.
C．A study justifies making hard choices with randomness.
D．A study offers a strategy for making hard decisions.

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 tried not to be biased(有偏见的),but I had my doubts about hiring Stevie because I had never had a mentally challenged employee. He was short, a little fat with the smooth facial features and thick-tongued speech of Down’s Syndrome(唐氏综合症).
I shouldn’t have worried. After the first week, Stevie had my staff wrapped around his fat little finger, and within a month my regular truck customers had adopted him as their official truck stop mascot(吉祥物). He was eager to laugh and to please, but fierce in his attention to his duties. Every salt and pepper shaker was exactly in its place, not a coffee spill was visible when Stevie got done with the table. Our only problem was persuading him to wait to clean a table until after the customers were finished.
Over time, we learned that he lived with his mother, a widow who was disabled after repeated surgeries for cancer. Money was tight, and what I paid him was probably the difference between them being able to live together and Stevie being sent to a group home.
One morning last August, Stevie missed work for the first time in three years. He was at a clinic getting a heart surgery. People with Down’s Syndrome often have heart problems at an early age so this wasn’t unexpected.
Later that morning, Frannie, the head waitress, did a little dance when she heard the good news that Stevie had come through the surgery in good shape and would be back at work in a few months. Belle Ringer, one of our regular trucker customers, stared at her and asked, “Frannie, what was that all about ”
Frannie quickly told Belle Ringer and the other two drivers about Stevie’s surgery and the trouble his mother had handling all the bills. Belle Ringer nodded thoughtfully.
After the morning rush, Frannie walked into my office. She had a couple of paper napkins(餐巾纸)in her hand.
“What’s up ”I asked.
“I cleared off that table where Belle Ringer and his friends were sitting, and I found this was folded and put under a coffee cup.”
She handed the napkin to me, and three $20 bills fell onto my desk when I opened it. On the outside, in big, bold letters, was printed “Something For Stevie.”
That was three months ago. Then came Thanksgiving, the first day Stevie was supposed to be back, and I had arranged to have his mother bring him to work. Leading them toward a large corner booth(包间),I could feel and hear the rest of the staff following behind.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150词左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
We stopped in front of the big table covered with coffee cups, all sitting on dozens of folded paper napkins.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I turned to Stevie and his mother, saying ”Happy Thanksgiving!“

20. What does the woman suggest a public speaker do during the speech
A. Show a good sense of humor.
B. Motivate the audience to act.
C. Meet challenges with courage.
【答案】CAB
【原文】
W: Good afternoon, everyone. I'm here to offer you some tips on public speaking. One of the worst mistakes you can make as a public speaker is talking too long. It doesn't matter if your entire speech was(is) good. The audience came(come) away with information that will change their lives. If you talk too long, they will leave saying that speaker just wouldn't quit. Don't let this happen to you, say what you have to say and sit down. Before you do, give them a well-thought-out closing. The last thing you say is generally what the audience remembers most. Just like your opening, your closing doesn't have to be humorous. It could be challenging, thoughtful, or it could retell your point in a different way. Please, at some time during your talk, ask the audience to do something. Many a great talk went no farther than the walls of the meeting room, because the audience wasn't moved to action. If you haven't asked them to do something by now, the closing is your last chance.

A
The following chart is provided by Elizabeth Weise from《America Today》. It shows the growth of the immersive schools in America.
Immersive (沉浸式) Schools in AmericaIn recent years, there have been quite a few Chinese immersive schools in America. Full Immersion: Pre-k children aged 2 to 4 are fully immersed in Chinese all day — 5 days per week. Part Immersion: Children (in kindergarten through Grade 5 in primary schools, from Grade 6 to Grade 8 in middle schools) learn all subjects in both Chinese and English.
Based on The Daily Advertiser’s report, foreign children at the age of about 5 are having Chinese lessons like this:
Zhaoting Xia, a 29-year-old teacher, holds paper copies of Chinese currency and invites kids up one at a time to use the “money” to purchase something from her pretend fruit stand.
One of the students, a 5-year-old boy, picks out his money and greets Xia with “ni hao”, starting the conversation as he has been taught. Then he works in some vocabulary words to ask for a plastic ear of corn. Xia tells him the price, and he counts the money in his hand before making the exchange. They finish with “xiexie” or “thank you”.
In this one exercise, they’ve practiced a lot in such a “real situation”. And all of this takes place in Chinese.
21．What can we learn about the immersive schools in America based on the chart
A．Children in them are aged 2 to 4.
B．They accept only Chinese children in America.
C．All the teachers in the immersive schools come from China.
D．The immersive schools have greatly increased in America since 2007.
22．Which of the following can children practice in this one exercise mentioned in the text
A．Vocabulary, sentence structure, math and culture.
B．Knowing about “Chinese money — renminbi”.
C．Counting the number from 1-10 in Chinese.
D．Greeting by saying “Hello!” to each other.

21．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It shows the growth of the immersive schools in America.(它显示了沉浸式学校在美国的发展)” 和图表提供的曲线图和数据2007-2021年间“沉浸式中文学校”的数目可知，自2007年以来，“沉浸式中文学校”在美国大幅增加。故选D。
22．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One of the students, a 5-year-old boy, picks out his money and greets Xia with ‘ni hao’, starting the conversation as he has been taught. Then he works in some vocabulary words to ask for a plastic ear of corn. Xia tells him the price, and he counts the money in his hand before making the exchange. They finish with ‘xiexie’ or ‘thank you’. (其中一名5岁的男孩拿出他的钱，用“你好”和夏斌打招呼，开始了对话训练。然后他练习一些词汇来询问一个塑料玉米穗。夏告诉了他价格，他在交易前数了数手里的钱。最后他们以“谢谢”或“thank you”结束。) ”和最后一段“In this one exercise, they’ve practiced a lot in such a ‘real situation’. And all of this takes place in Chinese.(在这一次练习中，他们在这样的“真实情境”中进行了大量的练习。而且这一切都是用中文进行的)”可推知，在这个练习中，孩子们会练习词汇、句子结构、数学和文化。故选A。

The incident took place, believe it or not, on the playground. I was something of a football player, but I had never been a good player, far less a great one. I played for the mere physical joy that I got out of the game, but I played with a will, and put my whole heart into the game. The result was that, though I had plenty of energy and enthusiasm, I was never picked for my college team.
Let me confess frankly that this was only because there was another player in the same position who happened to be much better than me. I considered myself the better sportsman, but he was certainly the greater player. So I never grumbled or complained. I was content to wait and bide my time.
And at last my patience was rewarded. It was for me a very special day. Our team had shot up into the final and was meeting its rival(竞争对手). Our star player sent word at the last moment that he was ill and he could not take the field. Imagine the astonishment in the college camp! The thought was that the game was as good as lost, and so also, I confess, did I for this player was our trump card(王牌): That is what everybody always said. However, something had to be done, and that something had to be myself! The captain called me up almost apologetically for having failed to recognize my greatness before, and—there I was, on the playground, greeted by the cheers of my friends, and a few jeers from those who had little faith in my prowess.
I can tell you that I played like a demon(魔鬼). I was here, there and everywhere—now leading the attack, now falling back to help the defense. It was indeed a thrilling moment in my life. For a time, I was the center of all attention, the object of universal applause, and “the observed of all observers”. And, believe it or not, it was I who put in the winning goal. It marked the top of a glorious day. Even now I look back on the episode with unmixed pleasure and satisfaction.

【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者热爱踢足球并且努力训练，但是作者一直没有出场的机会，在一次队友伤病的时候，作者代替队友得到了出场机会，最终完美的表现征服了所有人。从作者这段经历中，让我们明白了机会是留给有准备的人的这个道理。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I played for the mere physical joy that I got out of the game, but I played with a will, and put my whole heart into the game. The result was that, though I had plenty of energy and enthusiasm, I was never picked for my college team.”（我踢球只是为了从比赛中获得身体上的快乐，但我踢球是有意志的，我把全部的心都投入到比赛中。结果是，尽管我精力充沛，充满热情，但我从来没有入选过大学队。）以及第二段中“I considered myself the better sportsman, but he was certainly the greater player. So I never grumbled or complained. I was content to wait and bide my time.”（我认为自己是更好的运动员，但他肯定是更伟大的运动员。所以我从不抱怨或抱怨。我满足于等待时机。）可知，从文章的前两段可以了解到作者对踢足球表现出极大的兴趣。故选D项。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Our star player sent word at the last moment that he was ill and he could not take the field. Imagine the astonishment in the college camp! The thought was that the game was as good as lost, and so also, I confess, did I for this player was our trump card: That is what everybody always said. However, something had to be done, and that something had to be myself! The captain called me up almost apologetically for having failed to recognize my greatness before, and—there I was, on the playground, greeted by the cheers of my friends, and a few jeers from those who had little faith in my prowess.”（我们的明星球员在最后一刻传话说他病了，不能参加比赛。想象一下大学营地里的惊讶吧！我承认，我当时也是这么想的，因为这位球员是我们的王牌：人人都是这么说的。然而，我必须做点什么，那件事必须是我自己！队长几乎是带着歉意地叫了我，因为他以前没有认识到我的伟大，我就在那里，在操场上，我的朋友们欢呼着迎接我，还有一些对我的能力不太相信的人的嘲笑。）可知，作者的耐心得到的回报是代替了生病的球员。故选D项。
26．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It was indeed a thrilling moment in my life. For a time, I was the center of all attention, the object of universal applause, and “the observed of all observers”.”（那确实是我一生中激动人心的时刻。有一段时间，我是所有人关注的中心，是全世界掌声的对象，是“所有观察者的观察对象”。）可知，作者说这是他一生中激动人心的时刻是因为观众为他的表现鼓掌。故选B项。
27．推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第二段中“So I never grumbled or complained. I was content to wait and bide my time.”（所以我从不抱怨或抱怨。我满足于等待时机。）以及最后一段中“And, believe it or not, it was I who put in the winning goal. It marked the top of a glorious day. Even now I look back on the episode with unmixed pleasure and satisfaction.”（信不信由你，是我打进了制胜球。这标志着辉煌的一天的开始。即使现在回想起这段经历，我仍感到无比的愉悦和满足。）可推知，从作者的经历中，我们明白了机会是留给有准备的人的这个道理。故选D项。
C
When some people hear self-discipline, they think that it’s boring. They equate a disciplined life to feelings of entrapment. Allow me to tell you a story.
On a hot sunny day, Bertha is buzzing by her hive with some other bees, just relaxing and having a good time. Suddenly a bear starts to approach her hive for some honey and bee eggs. To save her hive, Bertha stings the bear. But its skin is so thick that once she tries to pull her sting out she dismembers(肢解) herself and dies.
The sad part is that Bertha has no choice. Through years of evolution she has developed a biological reaction to dangers—to sting threats. If she had known she would die, she might have flown away and saved her own life.
Bees are prisoners of their own biology, but humans can override their biology through self-discipline.
Most people have long-term desires for lasting relationships, meaningful careers or healthy bodies but are constantly tempted by short term pleasures, such as junk food or video games. Deep down they really want the life that comes in the long term. Yet they keep giving in to short-term pleasures.
The only difference is self-discipline. Luckily, humans have the ability to practice self-discipline. It gives us the freedom to achieve what we truly want in life and allow us to break free of the biological or societal cages around us. But it’s not that simple.
Companies are aware of our natural, biological reactions and use this against us by using supernormal stimuli. An example is junk food. Our ancestors were wired to seek out and enjoy fat and salty food because it was so rare at the time. But now companies have genetically engineered food to include more fats and salts than ever before in order to make us desire it even more.
Social media and the Internet as a whole is another form of supernormal stimuli. Humans are biologically wired to seek out novelty. For our ancestors novelty could lead to more knowledge about the world, which could lead to more wisdom that helped us thrive as a species. It has its usefulness. However, the Internet has been designed to take advantage of this desire for novelty by showing you more novelty than you can ever dream of. Every page links out more pages. And every video to a video with even more novelty. Videogames do the same thing.
On the plus side, however, you and I are not like the bee, because we are not cased by our own biology. With self-discipline, we can live the life we truly want. We have the choice to be free.
28．Why is the story of Bertha mentioned in paragraph two
A．To illustrate what evolution is.
B．To arouse readers’ sympathy for Bertha.
C．To draw readers’ attention to self-discipline.
D．To offer a perfect example of self-discipline.
29．What does the underlined word “stimuli” in paragraph seven most probably mean
A．Something that encourages certain reactions.
B．Something that is unhealthy for people to eat.
C．Something that does good to our mental health.
D．Something that discourages people from taking action.
30．What is the author’s attitude towards social media and the Internet
A．Approving. B．Objective. C．Critical. D．Cautious.
31．What makes the author think humans are lucky compared with bees
A．Humans’ blessing of an advanced biological system.
B．Humans’ desires to live an ideal life.
C．Humans’ eagerness to overcome inborn disadvantages.
D．Humans’ ability to practice self-discipline.
【答案】28．D 2 9．A 30．C 31．D
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章科普了自律对于人类生活的重要性，并列举了现实中的例子，自律可以让人类摆脱生物本能的控制，选择理想的生活。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段的“When some people hear self-discipline, they think that it’s boring. They equate a disciplined life to feelings of entrapment. Allow me to tell you a story.(当一些人听到自律时，他们认为它很无聊。他们把有纪律的生活等同于陷入困境的感觉。请允许我给你们讲个故事)”和第二段讲述了蜜蜂因为敌人入侵，出于生物本能，蜜蜂蜇了熊自己也因此丧命可知，蜜蜂死亡的根本原因是蜜蜂缺乏自律，只是遵循自己的生物本能。由此推知，故事的目的就是提供一个有关自律的完美范例，体现出自律的重要性。故选D。
29．词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“Companies are aware of our natural, biological reactions and use this against us ”（公司知道我们的自然生物反应，并利用这一点来对付我们）讲述了一些公司利用我们的本能。后文“An example is junk food. Our ancestors were wired to seek out and enjoy fat and salty food because it was so rare at the time. But now companies have genetically engineered food to include more fats and salts than ever before in order to make us desire it even more.”（垃圾食品就是一个例子。我们的祖先天生就喜欢寻找和享受高脂高盐的食物，因为在当时这种食物非常罕见。但是现在公司已经通过基因工程改造食品，使其含有比以往任何时候都多的脂肪和盐，从而使我们更加渴望它。）举了垃圾食品的例子，因为祖先本能摄入高油高盐的食物，我们也会渴望这些食物。由此可见，公司生产的产品是促使人的这些本能行为发生，所以划线词stimuli的含义为“刺激物”，故选A。
30．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Humans are biologically wired to seek out novelty. For our ancestors novelty could lead to more knowledge about the world, which could lead to more wisdom that helped us thrive as a species. It has its usefulness.”（人类天生就喜欢寻找新奇事物。对于我们的祖先来说，新奇可以带来更多关于世界的知识，这可以带来更多的智慧，帮助我们作为一个物种繁荣昌盛。它有它的用处。）可知，人类生物本能有对新奇事物的探索，并且这种探索具有积极意义。而下文“However, the Internet has been designed to take advantage of this desire for novelty by showing you more novelty than you can ever dream of. ”（然而，互联网的设计就是为了利用这种对新奇事物的渴望，向你展示比你想象中更多的新奇事物）语气转折，指出媒体利用人的好奇心产生源源不断的内容吸引人去看，因此可以推断这部分说的是比较负面的影响，因而作者对互联网和媒体持批判态度。故选C。
31．细节理解题。根据最后一段“however, you and I are not like the bee, because we are not cased by our own biology. With self-discipline, we can live the life we truly want. We have the choice to be free.”（然而，你和我并不像蜜蜂，因为我们不是由我们自己的生物特征决定的。有了自律，我们可以过我们真正想要的生活。我们可以选择自由。）可知，相比蜜蜂，人类有着自律的能力。故选D。
D
What strategy do you use to make tough life decisions like whether to end a relationship, quit your job, or go back to school Maybe you weigh the advantages and disadvantages. Maybe you go with your sixth sense. Or maybe, if you’re like most people, you simply do nothing. After all, we have a tendency to prefer the status quo (现状), and focus more on the potential losses involved with change rather than the potential benefits.
But here’s a simpler strategy: When you’re indecisive about a big life decision, choose the path of change. That’s the takeaway of research recently published by Steven Levitt, an economist at the University of Chicago.
For the study, Levitt asked people who were facing tough decisions to flip(抛) a digital coin on the website . The coin tosses were randomized, with one side representing change, the other status quo. The study asked more than 20,000 participants to make whichever decision the coin toss directed, and then report back on how things played out after two and six months.
Of course, not everyone followed through. The two-month survey found that participants chose change less frequently than they had initially predicted they would. After six months, however, this tendency toward inaction disappeared. But most surprising were the results on well-being. At both the two and six-month marks, most people who chose change reported feeling happier, better off, and that they had made the correct decision.
The study had some limitations. One is that its participants weren’t selected randomly. Another limitation is that participants whose decision didn’t play out well might have been less likely to report back on their status after two and six months. Still, the study does suggest that people who are on the edge of a tough decision are probably better off going with change. Levitt isn’t suggesting you flip a coin to make all decisions. But coin-flipping does seem to have some benefits. Levitt notes that some people might prefer giving in to their fate to randomness in order to avoid regret. But you can also use randomness a bit more sensibly. When facing a tough decision, you could flip a coin and, upon seeing the outcome, notice whether you feel relief or fright. If you feel relieved, that’s probably the path you should choose.
32．What is most people’s priority when making hard choices
A．Calculating potential losses.
B．Valuing potential benefits.
C．Following inner voice of one’s mind.
D．Making a change to the status quo.
33．What are the findings of the two surveys
A．Making changes brought most participants happiness.
B．All participants gave immediate feedback on their status.
C．Participants’ action agreed with their initial prediction.
D．More participants remained inactive after six months.
34．What is a limitation of the study
A．The randomness of picking study subjects.
B．The incorrect method of flipping a coin.
C．The insufficiency of study statistics.
D．The insensible outcome of the analysis.
35．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Coin flips are beneficial to making hard choices.
B．When facing a hard decision, choose the status quo.
C．A study justifies making hard choices with randomness.
D．A study offers a strategy for making hard decisions.
【答案】32．A 33．A 34．C 35．D
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了当人们面对人生的重大选择的时候，有人权衡利弊，有人靠感觉或者什么都不做，作者告诫我们面对人生大事，要做出改变。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“After all, we have a tendency to prefer the status quo (现状), and focus more on the potential losses involved with change rather than the potential benefits.(毕竟，我们倾向于保持现状，更多地关注变化所涉及的潜在损失，而不是潜在的利益。)”可知人们在面对重大选择的时候，总是算计潜在的损失，故选A 项。
33．细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“At both the two and six-month marks, most people who chose change reported feeling happier, better off, and that they had made the correct decision.(在两个月和六个月的时间里，大多数选择改变的人报告说，他们感觉更快乐、更好，他们做出了正确的决定。)”可知，分析发现做决定给参与者带来了幸福，故选A 项。
34．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The study had some limitations. One is that its participants weren’t selected randomly. Another limitation is that participants whose decision didn’t play out well might have been less likely to report back on their status after two and six months.(这项研究有一些局限性。一是参与者不是随机选择的。另一个缺陷是那些重大决定进展不顺利的参与者，在两个月和六个月后有可能没有汇报他们的状况。)”可知，研究的缺陷是不是随机选择参与者和实验数据不足，故选C项。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“After all, we have a tendency to prefer the status quo (现状), and focus more on the potential losses involved with change rather than the potential benefits.(毕竟，我们倾向于保持现状，更多地关注变化所涉及的潜在损失，而不是潜在的利益。)”以此引入话题，再根据第二段第一句“But here’s a simpler strategy(这儿讲一个简单一点的策略)”以及下文内容可知，本文主要讲述一项研究提供了一种做出艰难决定的策略。故选D项。

56．考查名词。句意：因此，中国在生物多样性保护和荒野保护方面取得的成就对全球生物多样性保护的未来具有重要意义。设空处在句中作主语，根据谓语动词are，可知句子的主语应为复数的形式。故填achievements。

63．考查谓语动词。句意：这些公园的名字反映了受保护的物种和栖息地的多样性。设空处在句中作谓语，和句子的主语之间是被动关系，叙述客观事实，应用一般现在时，故设空处应为一般现在时的被动语态，主语为the diversity of species and habitats，结合主谓一致。故填is reflected。

第二节 （满分25分）
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 tried not to be biased(有偏见的),but I had my doubts about hiring Stevie because I had never had a mentally challenged employee. He was short, a little fat with the smooth facial features and thick-tongued speech of Down’s Syndrome(唐氏综合症).
I shouldn’t have worried. After the first week, Stevie had my staff wrapped around his fat little finger, and within a month my regular truck customers had adopted him as their official truck stop mascot(吉祥物). He was eager to laugh and to please, but fierce in his attention to his duties. Every salt and pepper shaker was exactly in its place, not a coffee spill was visible when Stevie got done with the table. Our only problem was persuading him to wait to clean a table until after the customers were finished.
Over time, we learned that he lived with his mother, a widow who was disabled after repeated surgeries for cancer. Money was tight, and what I paid him was probably the difference between them being able to live together and Stevie being sent to a group home.
One morning last August, Stevie missed work for the first time in three years. He was at a clinic getting a heart surgery. People with Down’s Syndrome often have heart problems at an early age so this wasn’t unexpected.
Later that morning, Frannie, the head waitress, did a little dance when she heard the good news that Stevie had come through the surgery in good shape and would be back at work in a few months. Belle Ringer, one of our regular trucker customers, stared at her and asked, “Frannie, what was that all about ”
Frannie quickly told Belle Ringer and the other two drivers about Stevie’s surgery and the trouble his mother had handling all the bills. Belle Ringer nodded thoughtfully.
After the morning rush, Frannie walked into my office. She had a couple of paper napkins(餐巾纸)in her hand.
“What’s up ”I asked.
“I cleared off that table where Belle Ringer and his friends were sitting, and I found this was folded and put under a coffee cup.”
She handed the napkin to me, and three $20 bills fell onto my desk when I opened it. On the outside, in big, bold letters, was printed “Something For Stevie.”
That was three months ago. Then came Thanksgiving, the first day Stevie was supposed to be back, and I had arranged to have his mother bring him to work. Leading them toward a large corner booth(包间),I could feel and hear the rest of the staff following behind.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150词左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
We stopped in front of the big table covered with coffee cups, all sitting on dozens of folded paper napkins.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I turned to Stevie and his mother, saying ”Happy Thanksgiving!“

【参考范文】
We stopped in front of the big table covered with coffee cups, all sitting on dozens of folded paper napkins. “First thing you have to do, Stevie is clean up this mess,” I said in a calm tone, gesturing toward the tableware. Stevie looked at me, and then his mother, then pulled out one of the napkins. It had “something for Stevie” printed in big, bold letters. As he picked it up, two $10 bills fell onto the table. With an I-don’t-get-it look on his face, Stevie stared at the money, then at all the napkins peeking from beneath the coffee cups, each with his name on it.
I turned to Stevie and his mother, saying “Happy Thanksgiving !” Stevie put on an innocent smile, while his mother opened her mouth as if to say something but was choked and speechless. I told them that the $10,000 in cash and checks on that table problems. Soon, it got really noisy, with everybody cheering and shouting, and there were a few tears too. But you know what’s funny While everybody else was busy shaking hands and hugging each other, Stevie, with a big smile on his face, was busy clearing all the coffee cups from the table
【文章大意】本文以人物为线索展开。作者雇用了患有唐氏综合征的病人Stevie来打扫卫生，起初担心有精神问题的他不能胜任这份工作，但是实践证明，这份担心是多余的。Stevie深受员工和顾窖的喜欢，后来Stevie去做心脏手术，大家为其捐款，帮助其解决经济困难。
1. 段落续写
①根据第一段首句“我们在一张大桌子前停了下来，桌子上摆满了咖啡杯，所有的咖啡杯都放在几十张折好的餐巾纸上。”可知，第一段可以叙述我们让史蒂夫来收拾桌子。史蒂夫发现了餐巾纸上写着他的名字，也发现了那些被捐赠的钱。
②根据第二段首句“我转身对史蒂夫和他的母亲说：“感恩节快乐!””可知，本段可以描述作者告诉了他们真相，史蒂夫脸上露出了灿烂的笑容。
2. 续写线索
停在大桌子旁边——收拾桌子——发现纸币——告知真相——感动
3. 词汇积累

指向：gesture/point
