【原文】 M: For hundreds of years, people have enjoyed Ice cream. No one is sure when people first started to eat this frozen food. But paintings show an icy dessert being enjoyed as far back as the 12th century. Ice cream became popular among the rich in Europe during the 15 hundreds. King Charles the first England liked Ice cream so much. He carried out a law which said that it could be served only at his table. He even said that he would cut off his cook’s head if the cook gave the Ice cream recipe to anyone. To him, the food was of great value, so he didn’t want to share it with anyone. In the United States, Ice cream was eaten on special occasions by the country’s richest people. However. Ice cream didn’t reach the rest of the nation until 1845. At that time, a new Jersey woman made a handheld Ice cream maker. With that machine, Ice cream is not just for Kings and presidents. Now, it is for all of us.

32．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 tiring. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance (保险)companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones.(研究表明，单纯的暴露效应，也被称为熟悉原则，会激发我们的决定。这是一种有益的心理机制，可以帮助我们保持精力充沛，并将注意力集中在其他事情上。习惯新事物需要努力，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股票。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．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可取。但当我们按照这种偏好行事时，我们又回到了我们所知道的。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，也就是说有时候我们的欲望和行动可能不匹配。故选D。
34．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 overwhelm 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。因此，作者的态度是反对的。故选A。
35．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.(研究表明，单纯的暴露效应，也被称为熟悉原则，会激发我们的决定。这是一种有益的心理机制，可以帮助我们保持精力充沛，并将注意力集中在其他事情上。习惯新事物需要努力，而且可能会让人筋疲力尽。)”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.(我们可以一点一点地扩大熟悉的范围。如果我们认为熟悉是一种可以扩展的东西，我们可以考虑改变我们生活中的环境，为我们的喜好提供更多的空间，让它生根发芽。从这里开始，我们将从越来越多的有价值的选择中做出决定。)”可知，文章主要讨论了熟悉性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(慢慢扩大你的熟悉范围)”最能概括文章的主题。故选C。

67．One possible version:
Suddenly, something went wrong: Cristian fell to the ground. His face was pale, his body was limp, his eyes rolled back, and his breaths were frighteningly slow. Panic spread through the room as we realized the severity of the situation. We gathered around him, desperately trying to figure out what to do next. Quickly, someone called 911 and Cristian was rushed into the hospital. Later I was told Cristian’s condition was serious, but fortunately he didn’t suffer any permanent damage as a result of timely rescue. The whole night found me tossing and turning, uneasy about the mess I had caused.
The next day, I was called to the program director’s office. I knew that there was no point in denying the truth. So I admitted everything. Like a caught criminal, I was overcome with guilt, drooping my head in shame. Then came the punishment that I lost the chance to join in the program, which was less severe than what I’d expected. Back home, I realized that I couldn’t continue down this path of seeking approval at any cost. It was time to prioritize my values and I vowed not to let peer pressure cloud my judgment and lead me astray again.

A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know if she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.
Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug. Turning to her, he asked, “Darling, what do you see ”
“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma.
“What does it mean, father ” she humbly asked.
He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting; but after being subjected to the boiling water, it became softened and weak. The egg had been fragile; its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior; but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.
The ground coffee beans were unique, however; after they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
“Which are you ” he asked his daughter.
24．Why did the daughter complain to her father
A．Because she found life was extremely cruel to her.
B．Because she found that she was at a loss in her life.
C．Because she was tired of fighting and struggling with others.
D．Because she doubted if she’d make it to addressing the boredom in life.
25．What did the father take his daughter to the kitchen for
A．To boil three things for her. B．To explain to her what life is.
C．To give her some inspiration. D．To carry out an experiment with her.
26．What can be inferred from the text
A．The father seemed to be in favor of the egg most.
B．The carrot was likely to be the daughter’s favourite.
C．The three things all stood the test of the boiling water.
D．The ground coffee beans chose to affect their surroundings.
27．What’s the best title for the text
A．A vivid lesson B．A best choice
C．A tough challenge D．A rough ride
C
When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez makes a note of any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine-learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which she is helping develop for Porsche Engineering.
Those algorithms are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself. Such a fully autonomous car, known in the industry as Level 5, should be able to complete an entire journey without any intervention (介入) from the driver, and deal with all situations on the road. But this is proving hard to achieve, and many attempts to do so are being abandoned. Last year, for instance, Uber sold off its unit developing self-driving cars.
Autonomous vehicles are said to be not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, so do machines. And machines are not quick learners. The RAND Corporation calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Carmakers such as Porsche therefore speed up the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about dangers rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines” to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive. Objects in these virtual worlds are assigned their physical characteristics (ie, buildings are hard, people are soft) so that the sensors in vehicles respond in the appropriate way. Once the software has been trained, it is tested in real autonomous vehicles by re-creating those situations on a test track.
How quickly all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome the doubt that a software driver really can be safer than a human being.
From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is another question. Given that much of the reason owning a sports car is for owners to show off their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those bragging (炫耀的) rights away
28．Why does Clara-Marina Martinez note the unusual behaviour on the road
A．To market Porsche cars.
B．To improve an AI technology.
C．To learn to be a responsible driver.
D．To enjoy riding in a self-driving car.
29．The problem with self-driving cars is that .
A．they learn as slowly as human beings
B．they operate for a very short period of time
C．they have to be monitored by human drivers
D．they need a long time to reach a certain safety level
30．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Employing simulators on a test track.
B．Speeding the development of process.
C．Figuring out the physical road dangers.
D．Separating the real world from the virtual world.
31．What worries Porsche according to the last paragraph
A．The reliability of car software.
B．The future of the sports car market.
C．The driving skills of human beings.
D．The quality of self-driving cars in the future.
D
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 tiring. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance (保险) 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 toward big-picture thinking. Where we imagine that change requires a quite dramatic swing that we don’t feel ready for. Some articles suggest the solution to familiarity frustration (沮丧) is complete exposure to novelty. While this can appear effective in the short term, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelm 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 advertising cost. B．The improved service.
C．The familiarity principle. D．The principle of the market.
33．We can learn from paragraph 2 that .
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

Essential Creativity
In a recent survey in America, 62% of people said that creativity was more important to success in the workplace than they had expected it to be when they were in school.
36 It is of course possible to scan people’s brains and see which parts are firing when an idea is created, but rather more romantically it can be thought of as something that cannot be identified. Creativity is what comes to you when you least expect it. You cannot demand creativity from your mind, nor can you demand that you are creative in a particular way.
One misconception about creativity is that it is reserved for a few special people. This is not true. 37 Another misconception is that creativity is all about the arts but this simply isn’t true. 38
It is incredibly important that schools do not prevent creativity. 39 Students should be taught to ask questions and investigate when things do not make sense. They need to learn to view mistakes as opportunities for learning rather than something that was unsuccessful. But now it is worrying that many schools are less concerned with nurturing creativity. However, without creativity, we are indistinguishable from the masses. 40 Meanwhile, we can also channel it to face the challenges of the future.
A．We can use it to set ourselves apart.
B．It’s difficult to define what creativity is.
C．Everyone has the capacity to be creative.
D．We can employ creativity to deal with the world.
E．Rather, they should work to expand, grow, and exercise it.
F．It’s hard to work out where exactly creativity comes from.
G．Creativity extends to maths and science in just the way it does to music and literature.

Atomic (原子的) shapes are so simple that they can’t be broken down any further. Mathematicians are trying to 41 artificial intelligence (AI) to build a “periodic table” (周期表) of these shapes.
Tom Coates at Imperial College London and his colleagues are working to classify (分类) atomic shapes 42 as Fano varieties, which are so simple that they can’t be broken down into smaller 43 . Just as chemists arranged elements in the periodic table by their atomic weight and group to 44 new insights, the researchers hope that organizing these atomic shapes by their various 45 will help in understanding them.
The team has assigned each atomic shape a sequence of numbers 46 its features such as the number of holes it has or the 47 to which it twists around itself. This acts as a bar code (条形码) to 48 it. Coates and his colleagues have now created an AI that can predict certain properties of these shapes from their bar code numbers alone, with an 49 of 98 percent.
The team member Alexander Kasprzyk, who works at the University of Nottingham, UK, says that the AI has let the team organize atomic shapes in a way that begins to 50 the periodic table, 51 when you read from left to right, or up and down, there seem to be organized patterns in the geometry (几何) of the shapes.
The team hopes to 52 the model to the point where missing spaces in its periodic table could point to the existence of unknown shapes, which could 53 benefit further study.
Graham Niblo at the University of Southampton, UK, stresses that humans will still need to understand the results provided by the AI and creates proofs of these ideas. “AI has 54 got unbelievable abilities. But in the same way that telescopes (望远镜) don’t put astronomers out of work, AI doesn’t put mathematicians out of work,” he says. “It just gives us new 55 that allows us to explore parts of the mathematical landscape that are out of reach.”

第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Since the central authorities confirmed for the first time in an important resolution issued in July that 56 (delay) retirement will be advanced on a “voluntary and flexible” basis, the narrative is no more about if, but when and how the statutory retirement age 57 (raise).
China has 58 serious aging population problem, a trend that is unlikely to be mitigated (减缓) anytime soon. As the trend continues, the country may face labor shortages and pension (养老金) 59 (pressure) in the future. That is 60 the central authorities plan to raise the retirement age.
China’s current retirement age has obviously not kept pace 61 its changing demography(人口统计) as well as social and economic development, especially at a time when the country’s average life expectancy has gone up by more than 30 years from 62 it was 70 years ago and the kind of work people do is no longer just manual.
However, the related authorities should also face up to the grim reality that many young people in China nowadays cannot find jobs, and in some sectors such as the internet, employees aged 35 or above 63 (lose) their jobs. 64 (address) this, the authorities should adopt a prudent (慎重的) and considerate approach, and, if necessary, introduce some 65 (support) social security measures.

67．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。
In high school, I was a straight-A student, a member of many school clubs, and a receiver of many rewards. However, I had been subjected to peer pressure. Wanting to be “Cool”, I started going to parties and drinking, drunk beyond recognition. My life took a turn for the worse. However, the experience in one summer program taught me a lesson: never do something you believe is wrong just to gain the approval of others.
In June, I worked part-time at a restaurant. The day before I left for the program, one co-worker offered me his driver’s license, telling me to have fun in Quebec since we two almost looked the same. I’d seen friends walk into liquor (酒) stores with fake licenses and come out carrying a twelve-pack of beer, smiling proudly. So I took the license, but I promised myself that I wouldn’t use it. However, I easily got carried away.
On the first night of the program, while walking around, my new friends and I came across a liquor store. Kai asked if anyone had a fake license. After everyone shook his head, I cleared my throat and declared, “I do.” With everyone’s admiration and Kai’s twenty dollars and instruction, I boldly agreed to take on the task without thinking. I managed to buy a case of beer. The boys cheered and gave me pats on the back. “You’re the man,” someone said to me. The praise boosted my self-confidence.
The last night there was a party. A few of my friends insisted that we drink before the dance. They asked me, the “ID man,” to buy alcohol. To earn their admiration, I took the cash and bought what they wanted. Later that night, I was enjoying myself when Kai said nervously, “Cristian isn’t okay.” Worried for my friend, I went to assess the situation. Clearly, Cristian was overly drunk and almost unconscious.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

Suddenly, something went wrong: Cristian fell to the ground.
