W: What a memory I have! I did write down Mr Smith’s e-mail address on a piece of paper, but now it is nowhere to be found!
M: Don’t worry. I’ll be seeing him in an hour. I can ask him for his e-mail address when I see him.
Text 2
W: Good morning, I have an appointment with Diane Kennedy at 11 o’clock. And I’m Jane Taylor.
M: Oh, she’s answering a call now. Can you complete this security form, please
W: Of course. Can you give me a pen
Text 3
W: Have you read this new best-seller by Mike Brooklyn
M: No, I haven’t. I’m not really into fiction.
W: I think you’d like this one—it’s a very fast paced adventure, and Brooklyn has a wild imagination.
M: Really Maybe I’ll try to read it when I’m on vacation.
Text 4
M: Can you change the room for me It’s too noisy.
W: Sorry, we don’t have any spare room today. Could you wait till tomorrow The American People-to-People Education Delegation will be leaving tomorrow morning.
Text 5
W: Do you have plans this weekend
M: Yes, it is my daughter’s birthday. We will have a barbecue.
W: Sweet, tell her happy birthday! I think my daughter will buy her a nice present.
Text 6
W: I’m calling to confirm my flight to New York this Saturday. My name is Jane Austin, and my flight number is K701.
M: Yes, Ms Austin. Your name is here in our computer. Your plane takes off at 9:00 am. And I’d like to remind you to please come to the airport two hours before your take-off time to get your seating arrangements.
W: Thank you. By the way, could you tell me once again how long my flight will be
M: The total number of hours is 16 hours because you have a two-hour stopover at Los Angeles Airport.
Text 7
W: Oh, it’s so nice to be out of the cinema. It was so hot there!
M: Terrible, wasn’t it Well, what did you think of Madame Curie Do you think it is as good as the reviews said
W: It’s a good film, but not as good as the book. I think some parts of the story were missing in the film.
M: Yes, but you couldn’t possibly fit everything that happens in a 200-page novel into a 2-hour film.
W: I know. But the director should at least try to follow the story. In this film he left out some important people and even changed the ending.
M: Well, perhaps he thought he was improving the story, Karen.
W: Perhaps he did, but I just don’t think a film director has the right.
Text 8
W: Which colour do you think I should wear to meet the client
M: What You’ve been picking out the clothes since 8:00. Twenty minutes have passed and you still haven’t made a choice
W: You know I always have problems making decisions.
M: Before we went on our trip last month, you had been thinking a lot about where to travel. Yesterday you spent a long time thinking about whether to have a hotpot or barbecue.
W: It does often take me a long time to make a decision, but only by comparison can I know what is right and what is wrong. The more I care about things, the more I struggle to choose.
M: Hmm…It doesn’t matter what is right or wrong because there is no absolute right or wrong in life. You never know which is suitable unless you try it. So spending a long time making decisions doesn’t make sense.
W: OK, OK. Stop here.
M: Sure. I’ll drive Tom to school first.
Text 9
M: You need a break. You’ve been cooking every night. I’m sorry I haven’t been helping out, but I’ve had to work late all month. Let’s go out to dinner tonight.
W: That would be wonderful.
M: I’ve heard of a new Indian restaurant downtown. How does that sound
W: You know I love Indian food!
M: Well, this place should be very good. The food is more like traditional cooking—like what Indian mothers would make at home.
W: Sounds good! I had a friend in college who was from India. Sometimes I would go over to her house on the weekend. Her grandmother would cook for us. It was probably the tastiest food I’ve ever had!
M: All right, then let’s go. The place closes at 8:30, so we’d better leave now. It’ll take about half an hour to get there, because we’ll have to find a parking place, too.
W: I wonder why the restaurant closes so early. It’s a Friday night. Restaurants are usually open late on weekends.
M: I’ll bet the cook is an Indian mother who needs to get home to her children!

W: And now, finally, the time has come to announce the winner of our art competition. I know you’re all excited to be here and looking forward to finding out the first-prize winner who will be awarded the opportunity to display their art in exhibitions at our art galleries across the country, as well as the $5,000 cash prize. We’ll also announce the lucky runner-up, who will be going home with a $1,000 cash prize. Before I start, I have to tell you that one of the contestants, Rose O’Brien, has decided to remove herself from the competition as she was offered an opportunity elsewhere—which is not surprising, considering she had the second highest score given by the judges. But let’s focus on our remaining three contestants: Maria Sanchez, John Krakow and Donald Wreck. All of them deserve recognition and congratulations for making it this far. It has been a very tough competition with more than a thousand entries, so you should all be very proud of yourselves. So, after counting the votes from our gallery’s members and combining them with the judges’ scores, we are happy to announce that the winner of the competition is…Oh, wow…Incredibly, the winner is our youngest contestant, with no formal art training…Congratulations to Donald Wreck, with My Sister Emily!

【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,作者通过叙述更换电脑的经历,探讨了现代科技与生活的复杂性问题,强调了简单生活的价值。
24.B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“After over a decade of faithful service my old desktop computer finally died. It simply wouldn’t start.”可知,作者的旧电脑启动不了了,即它停止运转了。故选B项。
25.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It was like going from driving an old Model T Ford to flying a space shuttle.”以及第二段中的“…only to find that it wasn’t on this model.”、“…it wouldn’t work.”、“…had a terrible time downloading.”、“Then there were some difficulties of transferring…”和“…I had screwed up the settings so badly…”可知,从旧电脑换到新电脑,作者就像从开一辆老爷车变成开航天飞机,她在操作中遇到很多麻烦,最终把设置弄得一团糟。由此可知,在购买新电脑后的前两天里让作者感到沮丧的是她使用新电脑时有困难。故选D项。
26.B　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Finally after two days I think we have set up the new computer to do the few simple things I need it to do so I can ignore the thousand other functions that I have no use for.”可知,作者只需要使用电脑做几件简单的事情,她可以忽略掉其他她不需要的功能,所以她认为这些功能是多余的、不必要的。故选B项。

C
【文章大意】 本文是说明文。文章详细介绍了麻省理工学院(MIT)研究人员开发的一款基于人工智能(AI)的聊天机器人,这款聊天机器人能够模拟用户的老年自我,并给出评论和智慧。
28.B　推理判断题。根据第一段“Without ready access to a time machine, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have built an AI-powered chatbot that simulates a user’s older self and dishes out observations and wisdom. It has the potential to significantly impact how people make decisions today with their future well-being in mind.”(麻省理工学院的研究人员在没有现成的时光机的情况下,制造了一个人工智能聊天机器人,它可以模拟用户的老年自我,并提供评论和智慧。它有可能显著影响人们在考虑未来幸福的情况下做出决定的方式。)可知,future self聊天机器人可以帮助用户做出明智的生活选择,改善未来的幸福。故选B项。
29.C　推理判断题。根据第三段“Next, the program feeds information from the user’s answers into a large language model that generates rich synthetic (合成的) memories for the simulated older self. This ensures that when the chatbot responds to questions, it draws on a relevant backstory.”(接下来,该程序将用户回答中的信息输入到一个大型语言模型,该模型为模拟的老年自我生成丰富的合成记忆。这确保了当聊天机器人回答问题时,它会利用相关的背景故事。)可知,用户提供的信息对于生成用户的老年版本是至关重要的。故选C项。
30.D　词义猜测题。根据前文“Pataranutaporn, who works on the Future You project at MIT’s Media Lab, has had several conversations with his ‘future self’, but said the most profound was when the chatbot reminded him that his parents would not be around forever, so he should spend time with them while he could.”(Pataranutaporn在麻省理工学院媒体实验室从事“未来的你”项目,他已经和“未来的自己”进行了几次对话,但他说最深刻的一次是聊天机器人提醒他,他的父母不会永远在身边,所以他应该尽可能多地和他们在一起。)可知,本段提到了“最深刻的”一次与“未来的自己”的对话,这次对话给了他一个至今仍然对他有影响力的视角。因此,session指的是Pataranutaporn与他的“未来的自己”最深刻的对话。故选D项。
31.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘From a practical standpoint, the effectiveness will likely depend on how well it can simulate meaningful and relevant conversations,’ he added. ‘If users perceive the chatbot as genuine and insightful, it could significantly influence their behaviour. However, if the interactions feel shallow, the impact might be limited.’”(他补充说:“从实际的角度来看,效果可能取决于它能在多大程度上模拟有意义和相关的对话。如果用户认为聊天机器人真诚而有洞察力,它可能会对他们的行为产生重大影响。然而,如果互动感觉很肤浅,那么影响可能是有限的。”)可知,Pataranutaporn认为聊天机器人的有效性取决于它模拟有意义和相关对话的能力,即“取决于情况。”故选A项。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了熟悉原则对我们决策的影响,并提出了一种积极的观点来看待这个原则,而不是将其视为阻碍,作者建议我们可以通过逐步扩展熟悉区域来利用这一原则促进创造力和成长。
32.C　细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism that helps us sustain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be exhausting. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy things from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones.”(研究表明,纯粹接触效应,也被称为熟悉原则,影响着我们的决定。这是一种有益的心理机制,可以帮助我们保持精力,并将注意力集中在其他事情上。习惯新事物需要付出努力,而且可能会让人筋疲力尽。因此,除非我们有糟糕的经历,否则我们很可能会从我们已经习惯的公司购买物品。这就是为什么公司在广告和营销上花那么多钱,为什么保险公司公开向现有客户收取比新客户更高的费用。)可知,熟悉原则让保险公司向老客户收取更多费用。故选C。
33.D　推理判断题。根据文章第二段“It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar options as more desirable. But when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships.”(这并不是说我们只想要已知的东西。一些研究表明,当被邀请分享我们的偏好时,我们有时会认为不太熟悉的选择更具吸引力。但在实际行动中,我们又回到了我们所熟悉的事物上。这也许可以解释为什么有时候我们想要的和我们做的并不完全匹配。我们甚至可能回到过去对我们不好的公司,或者保持糟糕的关系。)可知,本段解释了为什么有时候我们想要的和我们做的并不完全匹配。故选D。
34.A　推理判断题。根据文章第三段“While this can appear effective in the short run, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelming and burnout.”(虽然这在短期内看起来是有效的,但我们最终可能只是用一个问题代替另一个问题。它也有让人不堪重负和精疲力竭的风险。)可知,这段话表明作者对一些文章中提出的解决方案持反对态度,认为这种解决方案可能只是暂时有效,而且可能带来新的问题和风险。故选A。
35.C　主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism that helps us sustain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be exhausting.”以及最后一段“We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lives to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-deepening pool of valuable options.”可知,文章主要讨论了熟悉原则对我们决策的影响以及如何利用这一原则进行创新和拓展。文章强调了我们可以逐步扩大熟悉的范围,通过改变生活中的条件,为我们的偏好提供更多的空间,使其能够生根并温和地成长。因此,选项C“Gently expand your familiarity zone”最能概括文章的主题,即鼓励读者在保持熟悉感的同时,逐渐扩展自己的舒适区。故选C。
第二节
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了孤独感成为现代网络社会的健康杀手,并分析了原因,给出了建议。
36.E　根据上文“In the distant past, there were few complaints about loneliness. Indeed, every person in a community including children was up to speed on every detail of the lives of everyone else. Instead of suffering from loneliness, our distant ancestors were oppressed (使烦恼) by a lack of privacy.”及下文“They facilitate distance. How did loneliness take over contemporary life ”可知,上文主要讲过去我们的祖先的生活,他们不孤独,没有隐私空间,而下文是讲述我们现在的生活,人们常常感到孤独。由此可知,选项E(今天,社交媒体带回了对隐私的侵犯。)符合语境。空后they指代social media。故选E项。
37.G　根据上文“Migrants to cities may establish various meaningful social links.”及下文“These might be the people we work among, those who frequent a coffee shop, or members of a gym or sports club. Such associations are not made automatically.”可知,上文说人们在城市工作可以建立有意义的社会联系,而下文列举了一些随机组成的社会群体,由此可知,选项G(然而,联系往往是通过偶然的网络形成的。)符合语境。故选G项。
38.B　根据上文“These might be the people we work among, those who frequent a coffee shop, or members of a gym or sports club. Such associations are not made automatically.”可知,这些社群是要主动积极参与的。由此可知,选项B(它们需要开放、主动和努力。)符合语境,其中they指代上文中such associations。故选B项。
39.F　该空为段首句,应概括下文。根据下文“According to the US Surgeon General’s report on loneliness, people who spend more time online are lonelier. People who claim thousands of online ‘friends’ are often chronically anxious, disconnected and depressed. Perhaps, they would gain a better social bonus by being kind to people in real life.”可知,本段在讲总和在线网友交往的人更孤独,建议和真实生活中的朋友真心交往,后文提到了寻找网络朋友的弊端。由此可知,选项F(许多人转向社交媒体寻求陪伴,结果好坏参半。)符合语境。故选F项。
40.C　根据上文“Virtually, not everyone needs constant companionship. This is not merely a question of how extroverted a person is.”及下文“People with a strong sense of external purpose barely suffer from loneliness, whether they perfect their dance moves, get involved in political activism or train service dogs. In this vein, anyone who cultivates a love of nature may become a part of the natural world. That is an endless source of peace, happiness, and connection.”可知,上文指出,有些人并不需要他人的持续陪伴,性格外向程度是一方面,却不仅限于此,由此可知选项C(相反,它反映了一个人如何过自己的生活。)契合上文,同时引出了下文列举的生活方式的例子。故选C项。
第三部分

第二节
【文章大意】 本文是一篇新闻报道,主要介绍了一个研究团队近期推出的一项结合古代哲学思想与现代技术的创新项目——大型语言模型“荀子”。
56.were written　考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:几千年前,汉字在写在纸上之前,就出现在了兽骨和丝绸上。根据句意和时间状语thousands of years ago可知,句子时态应用一般过去时;they指代Chinese characters,与write之间为被动关系,用一般过去时的被动语态;主语是复数,be动词用were。故填were written。
57.a　考查固定短语。句意:但在现代社会,许多汉字有了一个“新容器”。many a是固定短语,意为“许多”。故填a。
58.inspiration　考查名词。句意:最近,一个研究小组从战国末期杰出的儒家哲学家荀子身上汲取了一点灵感,与一家领先的中国古籍出版商合作,推出了一个大型语言模型“荀子”以及Xunzi Chat。介词of后接名词作宾语,inspiration意为“灵感”,是不可数名词。故填inspiration。
59.asked　考查状语从句中的省略。句意:当被问及为何这样做时,团队负责人解释说:“竖版排列的汉字,没有停顿和标点符号,都阻碍了读者阅读古籍。”当状语从句的主语与主句主语一致且含有be动词时,可一并省略从句的主语和be动词,本句中ask与the team leader之间是被动关系,事情发生在过去,从句用一般过去时的被动语态,因此从句完整形式为“when the team leader was asked”,省略后保留过去分词asked。故填asked。
60.To create　考查非谓语动词。句意:为了创造荀子这个大型语言模型,团队首先做了大量的研究。作目的状语,应用动词不定式,位于句首,首字母大写。故填To create。
61.heavily　考查副词。句意:自2013年以来,他们为数字化《四库全书》等中国经典著作付出了大量辛勤的努力。修饰动词sweated,应用副词heavily作状语,意为“大量地”。故填heavily。
62.which　考查定语从句。句意:这项艰苦的工作涉及一个包含20亿个汉字的大规模语料库,这为大型语言模型奠定了坚实的基础。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个主句,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which。故填which。
63.and　考查连词。句意:目前,“荀子”大型语言模型可以翻译、断句并理解一些古代汉语文本。translate,punctuate和understand是并列关系,应用连词and连接。故填and。
64.allowing　考查非谓语动词。句意:该团队已在GitHub和其他网站上分享了这个大型语言模型,允许用户免费下载和使用。本句谓语为have shared,因此设空处为非谓语动词,且allow与其逻辑主语the team之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式作状语。故填allowing。
65.accessible　考查形容词。句意:他们秉持让数据和模型在全球范围内可访问的理念。此句是“make+宾语+宾补(形容词)”结构,access的形容词为accessible,意为“可访问的”。故填accessible。

One possible version:
AI Empowers Learning
With the development of science and technology, AI is changing the way we learn. In high school, I’ve witnessed the powerful effect of AI.
For instance, when I’m struggling with chemistry, through data analyses AI identifies my weaknesses, and then provides targeted resources and specific learning strategies, which deepens my insight and enables me to make progress.
Personally speaking, AI’s ability to personalize and adapt to individual learning needs is remarkable. AI, when used wisely, can not only enhance our learning efficiency, but also help us develop problem-solving skills.
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物Alex的情感变化和农场经历为线索展开,讲述了热爱编程的Alex因为错过编程营而感到失落和不满,被迫前往农场看望祖父母。在农场,他回忆起过去对这里的喜爱,但也因上次来访时的一个小失误导致内心充满挣扎。面对家人的关心询问,他最终吐露了对编程的渴望和对错过编程营的遗憾,但好在农场的经历也让他开始尝试接受并享受这里的生活。
【详解】
1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“午饭后,我独自一人,突然,不知从哪里冒出来了Mr Jackson。”可知,第一段可描写Alex担心被Mr Jackson责骂,但是并没有。
②由第二段首句内容“相反,Mr Jackson喊道:‘很高兴在这里见到你,亚历克斯!我需要你帮我接生一只小羊羔。’”可知,第二段可描写Alex成功帮母羊接生以及感悟。
2. 续写线索:遇到Mr Jackson—担心责骂—寻求帮助—成功帮助—感悟
One possible version:
After lunch, I was on my own when, out of nowhere, there’s Mr Jackson. I was rooted to the spot. Never in my wildest dream did I expect (部分倒装) that I would encounter Mr Jackson here and now. I was at a loss and was ready for a bad scolding. I mean, I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. Mr Jackson approached me as my mind was racing through what happened last summer (as引导时间状语从句). However, what amazed me (主语从句) was that he seemed to have totally forgotten what happened (宾语从句) just like my Granny.
Instead, Mr Jackson yelled, “Great to see you here, Alex! I need your help with a lamb’s birth.” I rushed to his barn with him. Upon arrival, I seized a bucket, filled it with hot water and prepared towels and scissors. After meeting this newborn lamb, I heard Mr Jackson said, “Thank you, Alex! You saved my lamb.” At least I knew how to help (疑问词+不定式) with a lamb’s birth, about which my programming friends might know nothing (定语从句). I finally felt relieved and realized the farm did bring (强调谓语动词) me something. I could come down to it that (形式宾语) we shouldn’t focus on the past but seize the moment.单元素养测评卷(三)

After over a decade of faithful service my old desktop computer finally died. It simply wouldn’t start. With no computer repair places open my daughter talked me into purchasing a new laptop to replace it. What followed was two days of pure frustration. It was like going from driving an old Model T Ford to flying a space shuttle.
After my daughter set it up, I looked for the old e-mail program I used to use, only to find that it wasn’t on this model. When I tried to download the older version again, it wouldn’t work. I also had a terrible time downloading my old word processing program again. Then there were some difficulties of transferring all of my old stories that I had saved on a jump drive. The laptop computer’s fancy new programs were an icon minefield that I had to navigate. Each time I accidentally touched one of them, it changed everything on my screen and I had to work hard to figure out how to change them back. In the end I had screwed up the settings so badly that I asked my daughter to do a reset so we could start over. Finally after two days I think we have set up the new computer to do the few simple things I need it to do so I can ignore the thousand other functions that I have no use for. I only hope it will work as long and faithfully as my old desktop did.
One thing I did learn from all of this is that when it comes to computers and life I want to keep things simple, simple, simple. Life is simple. Love is simple. It is we who make things complicated. Take some time today then to turn off your electronics and turn on your heart. Be a person, not a program. Be yourself, not your “Selfie”. Fill your days with purpose, your years with happiness, and your life with love.

Without ready access to a time machine, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have built an AI-powered chatbot that simulates a user’s older self and dishes out observations and wisdom. It has the potential to significantly impact how people make decisions today with their future well-being in mind.
To interact with the chatbot, users are first asked to answer a series of questions about themselves, their friends and family, the past experiences that shaped them, and the ideal life they envision for the future. They then upload a portrait image, which the program digitally ages to produce a likeness of the user aged 60.
Next, the program feeds information from the user’s answers into a large language model that generates rich synthetic (合成的) memories for the simulated older self. This ensures that when the chatbot responds to questions, it draws on a relevant backstory.
The final part of the system is the chatbot itself, powered by OpenAI’s GPT3.5, which introduces itself as a potential older version of the user that is able to talk about its life experiences.
Users are told the “future self” is not a prediction but rather a potential future self. They are encouraged to explore different futures by changing their answers to the questionnaire.
Pataranutaporn, who works on the Future You project at MIT’s Media Lab, has had several conversations with his “future self”, but said the most profound was when the chatbot reminded him that his parents would not be around forever, so he should spend time with them while he could. “The session gave me a perspective that is still impactful to me to this day,” he said.
“From a practical standpoint, the effectiveness will likely depend on how well it can simulate meaningful and relevant conversations,” he added. “If users perceive the chatbot as genuine and insightful, it could significantly influence their behaviour. However, if the interactions feel shallow, the impact might be limited.”
(　)28.What can the “future self” chatbot help its users do
A.Improve their welfare.
B.Inspire wise life choices.
C.Polish their future selves.
D.Get access to a time machine.
(　)29.What is crucial to the production of an older version of the users
A.Their portrait images.
B.Their memory ability.
C.The information provided.
D.The language model employed.
(　)30.What does the underlined word “session” in Paragraph 6 refer to
A.Pataranutaporn’s work at MIT’s Media Lab.
B.The good old days of Pataranutaporn’s parents.
C.The precious time Pataranutaporn spent with his parents.
D.Pataranutaporn’s most profound talk with his “future self”.
(　)31.How does Pataranutaporn comment on the effectiveness of the chatbot
A.It depends.
B.It doesn’t last long.
C.It will be carefully checked.
D.It will be disastrous.

Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism that helps us sustain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be exhausting. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy things from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones.
It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar options as more desirable. But when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships.
It’s easy to paint the familiarity principle as an enemy or something to battle as if it is something that holds us back from living our dreams. But this attitude might be overwhelming because it tends to encourage us towards big-picture thinking. Where we imagine that change requires a substantial dramatic swing that we don’t feel ready for. Some articles suggest the solution to familiarity frustration is complete exposure to novelty. While this can appear effective in the short run, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelming and burnout.
So what if we can work with the familiarity principle instead Familiarity is something we can learn to play with and enjoy. It is a setting for creativity and a pathway to expansion. We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lives to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-deepening pool of valuable options.
(　)32.What allows insurance companies to charge old customers more
A.The improved service.
B.The advertising cost.
C.The familiarity principle.
D.The law of the market.
(　)33.What can be learned from Paragraph 2
A.Our preferences affect our decisions.
B.Familiarity tends to generate disrespect.
C.The familiarity principle is a double-edged sword.
D.There can be a mismatch between desires and actions.
(　)34.What is the author’s attitude towards the solution in some articles
A.Disapproving.　　　　　　　B.Tolerant.
C.Objective. D.Reserved.
(　)35.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.Step out of your familiarity zone
B.Spare a thought for your preference
C.Gently expand your familiarity zone
D.Give priority to the mere exposure effect

Loneliness is a bigger health threat than smoking 15 cigarettes a day, according to a new research. Why has loneliness become such a threat How might it be addressed
In the distant past, there were few complaints about loneliness. Indeed, every person in a community including children was up to speed on every detail of the lives of everyone else. Instead of suffering from loneliness, our distant ancestors were oppressed (使烦恼) by a lack of privacy. 36.　　　　 They facilitate distance. How did loneliness take over contemporary life
Typically, people move away from family and friends for work opportunities. Yet, cities often function as gatherings of relative strangers rather than functional communities. The many people wandering around in a city are irrelevant if we have no social connection with them. Migrants to cities may establish various meaningful social links. 37.　　　　 These might be the people we work among, those who frequent a coffee shop, or members of a gym or sports club. Such associations are not made automatically. 38.　　　　 In some cases, those who eagerly need social connection can fare poorly in cities.
39.　　　　 According to the US Surgeon General’s report on loneliness, people who spend more time online are lonelier. People who claim thousands of online “friends” are often chronically anxious, disconnected and depressed. Perhaps, they would gain a better social bonus by being kind to people in real life.
Virtually, not everyone needs constant companionship. This is not merely a question of how extroverted a person is. 40.　　　　 People with a strong sense of external purpose barely suffer from loneliness, whether they perfect their dance moves, get involved in political activism or train service dogs. In this vein, anyone who cultivates a love of nature may become a part of the natural world. That is an endless source of peace, happiness, and connection.
A.Their habits contributed to loneliness.
B.They require openness, initiative and effort.
C.Rather, it reflects how someone leads their life.
D.Outgoing people will live a busy life with social media.
E.Today, social media bring back the invasions of privacy.
F.Many turn to social media for companionship with mixed results.
G.However, associations are often formed through accidental networks.

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 drew in a breath, let it out against the backseat window, and scratched the word AWFUL on the fogged glass.
Dad glanced at me through the rearview mirror (后视镜). “Alex, this will be a nice opportunity for you to see your grandparents.”
The car turned onto a familiar dirt road. We were getting farther from the city. Farther from Internet access. Farther from the computer camp.
“Cheer up, Alex! There will be another computer camp soon,” said Mum. “Probably even this summer.”
All my programming friends would be coding at the computer camp this week while I was stuck on the farm. I didn’t say a word. Finally, the car pulled into Granny and Granddad’s driveway. A thin line of trees came into sight.
I liked visiting the farm on spring breaks before I started doing coding camps…and before I knew how badly I could mess things up.
The car engine wasn’t off when Granny bounded (跳跃着跑) towards us. I watched from the backseat as Dad and Mum hugged Granny. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. Gravity seemed abnormally strong.
“You two deserve a vacation,” Granny was saying. “Alex will be fine—he loves being on the farm.” She meant loved. Alex loved being on the farm.
During lunch Granny asked, “Why so sad, Alex ” I kept silent. Why They were really acting as if nothing had happened during my last visit. For a second, my eyes caught Granny’s. Could I ask her if her goats had destroyed all her next-door neighbour Mr Jackson’s flowers because I lifted the latch (门闩) and let out the goats Was Mr Jackson still angry with me for having brought him such a great loss
“I’m fine,” I mumbled (咕哝). “Just missing the coding camp this week. Coding’s just something I’m good at.”
Mummy nodded. “Ahhh. That sounds disappointing, but the farm will bring you something different.”
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
After lunch, I was on my own when, out of nowhere, there’s Mr Jackson.

Paragraph 2:
Instead, Mr Jackson yelled, “Great to see you here, Alex! I need your help with a lamb’s birth.”
