Ladies-Beck and Shayne,my lovely angels for the day,”I said to myself.I would never forget this unique birthday.At our parting,they also inspired me to share my kindness,wisdom or knowledge to those who need it.I surely do not let this chain of love end with me.24.How did the author feel at first on her birthday A.Excited. B.Sad. C.Joyful. D.Mad.25.Why did the lady suggest sharing the table A.There was no chair left at that time.B.She would like to make friends with the author.C.It was the only table in the restaurant then.D.She wanted to have a chat with the author.26.What did the ladies do for the author’s birthday A.They paid for the meal for the author.B.They bought the author a big birthday cake.C.They bought the author a small birthday gift.D.They gave her some money for a meal.27.What will the author do n ext A.Thank the ladies by email.B.Pass down kindness and love.C.Share her experience with her family.D.Celebrate her birthday again with others.CDo you ever get that feeling that there aren’t enough hours in the day That time is somehow racing away from you,and it is impossible to fit everything in.But then,you step outside into the countryside and suddenly everything seems slower,more relaxed,like time has somehow changed.It’s not just you—recent research showed nature can regulate our sense of time.For many of us,the combined demands of work,home and family mean that we are always feeling like we don’t have enough time.Time poverty has also been exacerbated by digital technologies.Permanent(长久的) online connectivity lengthens working hours and can make it harder to switch off from the demands of friends and family.Recent researches suggest that the cure for our lack of time may lie in the natural world which may change how we experience time.These studies consistently showed that people report a sense of expanded time when they were in nature compared to when they were in an urban environment.For example,people are more likely to perceive(感知) a walk in the countryside as longer than a walk of the same length in the city.Nature seems to slow and expand our sense of time.It’s not just our sense of time in the moment which appears to be changed but also our sense of the future.Spending time in nature helps to shift our focus from the immediate moment towards our future needs.So rather than focusing on the stress of the demands on our time,nature helps us to see the bigger picture.This can help us prioritise(优先处理) our actions to meet our long-term goals rather than living in a state of “just about keeping our head above water”.Getting out into nature may sound like a simple fix,but for many people,particularly those living in urban areas,nature can be hard to access.Green infrastructure such as trees and parks in and around cities are essential to making sure the benefits of time in nature are accessible to everyone.28.What does the underlined word “exacerbated” in paragraph 2 mean A.Changed. B.Reflected.C.Worsened. D.Controlled.29.How does nature change our sense of the future A.By changing our focus.B.By promoting immediate actions.C.By releasing our stress.D.By reducing the demands on time.30.According to the author,what is a solution to our lack of time A.Move to the city.B.Decrease online connectivity.C.Get into green space in urban areas.D.Learn to refuse the unreasonable demands.31.What is the passage mainly about A.Researches reveal our poverty of time in nature.B.Being in nature can change our perception of time.C.Exploring nature will bring great benefits to people.D.People tend to lead a green life in modern urban areas.DOne thing that many Americans can agree on,even in an era of deep political polarization(两极分化),is that our country is in a moral free fall.In survey after survey,US adults of all ages,education levels,political or religious backgrounds say that people are less kind,honest,generous,and respectful than they used to be.So is our nation’s moral foundation falling apart Not necessarily.In fact,two psychologists,Columbia’s Adam Mastroianni and Harvard’s Daniel Gilbert,say that the widespread belief in moral decline(下降) is a misconception.They recently conducted a meta-analysis of all the major surveys that asked Americans about the state of moral values in this country and they found that US residents have been complaining about one another’s declining morality for as long as researchers have been seeking their opinions on the matter.And yet when individual respondents are asked multiple times,over the span of a decade or more,to describe the level of politeness and kindness they observe in their fellow citizens,their descriptions of other people’s attitudes and behaviors do not actually worsen at all.Mastroianni and Gilbert,whose paper appears in the journal Nature,say the results of similar surveys conducted in dozens of other countries over the decades suggest that people all over the world are easy to be influenced by the misconception that their peers are less moral than they once were.They say that this misconception is likely explained by two well-established psychological phenomena acting together:that we tend to pay closer attention to negative rather than positive information about people’s actions in the present day; and that we tend to selectively forget such negative impressions as the years roll on,leaving us with good memories for the past.Mastroianni and Gilbert also say that their discovery has important social and political implications,especially given that,as one 2015 survey found,three-quarters of all Americans believe that addressing the moral breakdown of the country should be a high priority(优先项) for the government.“The United States faces many well-documented problems,from climate change and terrorism to racial injustice and economic inequality—and yet,nowadays it is believed that the government should devote fewer resources to reversing an imaginary trend.”32.What is the function of the first paragraph A.To provide a historical review of American society.B.To present contrasting viewpoints on moral decline.C.To introduce the topic of moral decline in American society.D.To discuss the method of psychological research on moral decline.33.What is the main argument presented by Mastroianni and Gilbert in their research A.The morality of American society seems to be on a rapid rise.B.American citizens’ belief in declining morality is a false idea.C.The moral breakdown has already been a long-term issue in America.D.American society has realized its own misconception of moral decline.34.According to the passage,what is the reason for the widespread belief in moral decline A.Selective memory about previous impressions.B.The mixed influence of psychological phenomena.C.Negative descriptions of morality from peers.D.Lack of government involvement in moral issues.35.What does Mastroianni and Gilbert’s research imply on social and political views A.Americans should attach more importance to global issues.B.Americans should help the government reverse the moral decline.C.Government resources should be focused on addressing the moral decline.D.Addressing the imaginary moral breakdown should not be a top choice.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Train Your Brain to Show KindnessIt is always

D.Mad.答案 B解析 细节理解题。根据第一段的 “Having the blues,I was driving aimlessly.”可知,作者在生日那天刚开始感觉很伤心。故选B。25.Why did the lady suggest sharing the table A.There was no chair left at that time.B.She would like to make friends with the author.C.It was the only table in the restaurant then.D.She wanted to have a chat with the author.答案 C解析 细节理解题。根据第二段的“There was only one left in the corner.”可知,这位女士建议共用一张桌子是因为那是餐厅里仅剩的一张桌子。故选C。26.What did the ladies do for the author’s birthday A.They paid for the meal for the author.B.They bought the author a big birthday cake.C.They bought the author a small birthday gift.D.They gave her some money for a meal.答案 A解析 推理判断题。根据第三段的“I went to pay for my meal...I didn’t have to pay on my birthday.”可知,女士们为作者付了餐费。故选A。27.What will the author do n ext A.Thank the ladies by email.B.Pass down kindness and love.C.Share her experience with her family.D.Celebrate her birthday again with others.答案 B解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I surely do not let this chain of love end with me.”可知,作者接下来会传递善良和爱。故选B。CDo you ever get that feeling that there aren’t enough hours in the day That time is somehow racing away from you,and it is impossible to fit everything in.But then,you step outside into the countryside and suddenly everything seems slower,more relaxed,like time has somehow changed.It’s not just you—recent research showed nature can regulate our sense of time.For many of us,the combined demands of work,home and family mean that we are always feeling like we don’t have enough time.Time poverty has also been exacerbated by digital technologies.Permanent(长久的) online connectivity lengthens working hours and can make it harder to switch off from the demands of friends and family.Recent researches suggest that the cure for our lack of time may lie in the natural world which may change how we experience time.These studies consistently showed that people report a sense of expanded time when they were in nature compared to when they were in an urban environment.For example,people are more likely to perceive(感知) a walk in the countryside as longer than a walk of the same length in the city.Nature seems to slow and expand our sense of time.It’s not just our sense of time in the moment which appears to be changed but also our sense of the future.Spending time in nature helps to shift our focus from the immediate moment towards our future needs.So rather than focusing on the stress of the demands on our time,nature helps us to see the bigger picture.This can help us prioritise(优先处理) our actions to meet our long-term goals rather than living in a state of “just about keeping our head above water”.Getting out into nature may sound like a simple fix,but for many people,particularly those living in urban areas,nature can be hard to access.Green infrastructure such as trees and parks in and around cities are essential to making sure the benefits of time in nature are accessible to everyone.语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了自然可以调节我们对时间的感知。28.What does the underlined word “exacerbated” in paragraph 2 mean A.Changed. B.Reflected.C.Worsened. D.Controlled.答案 C解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“Permanent(长久的) online connectivity lengthens working hours and can make it harder to switch off from the demands of friends and family.”可知,作者明确指出了数字技术(特别是长时间的在线连接)延长了工作时间,并使得人们更难从社交需求中解脱出来。因此,画线词所在句子“Time poverty has also been exacerbated by digital technologies.”指的是,数字技术使得人们感觉时间不够用的情况变得更加严重或恶化了。exacerbate与worsen(恶化)意思一致。故选C。29.How does nature change our sense of the future A.By changing our focus.B.By promoting immediate actions.C.By releasing our stress.D.By reducing the demands on time.答案 A解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Spending time in nature helps to shift our focus from the immediate moment towards our future needs.”可知,自然通过改变我们的关注点来改变我们对未来的感觉。故选A。30.According to the author,what is a solution to our lack of time A.Move to the city.B.Decrease online connectivity.C.Get into green space in urban areas.D.Learn to refuse the unreasonable demands.答案 C解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Recent researches suggest that...how we experience time.”可知,最近的研究表明,解决我们时间不足的方法可能在于自然界,它可能会改变我们体验时间的方式。再结合最后一段中的“Green infrastructure...are essential to making sure the benefits of time in nature are accessible to everyone.”可知,作者认为进入城市地区的绿色空间是解决我们时间不足的一个方法。故选C。31.What is the passage mainly about A.Researches reveal our poverty of time in nature.B.Being in nature can change our perception of time.C.Exploring nature will bring great benefits to people.D.People tend to lead a green life in modern urban areas.答案 B解析

survey after survey,US adults of all ages,education levels,political or religious backgrounds say that people are less kind,honest,generous,and respectful than they used to be.So is our nation’s moral foundation falling apart Not necessarily.In fact,two psychologists,Columbia’s Adam Mastroianni and Harvard’s Daniel Gilbert,say that the widespread belief in moral decline(下降) is a misconception.They recently conducted a meta-analysis of all the major surveys that asked Americans about the state of moral values in this country and they found that US residents have been complaining about one another’s declining morality for as long as researchers have been seeking their opinions on the matter.And yet when individual respondents are asked multiple times,over the span of a decade or more,to describe the level of politeness and kindness they observe in their fellow citizens,their descriptions of other people’s attitudes and behaviors do not actually worsen at all.Mastroianni and Gilbert,whose paper appears in the journal Nature,say the results of similar surveys conducted in dozens of other countries over the decades suggest that people all over the world are easy to be influenced by the misconception that their peers are less moral than they once were.They say that this misconception is likely explained by two well-established psychological phenomena acting together:that we tend to pay closer attention to negative rather than positive information about people’s actions in the present day; and that we tend to selectively forget such negative impressions as the years roll on,leaving us with good memories for the past.Mastroianni and Gilbert also say that their discovery has important social and political implications,especially given that,as one 2015 survey found,three-quarters of all Americans believe that addressing the moral breakdown of the country should be a high priority(优先项) for the government.“The United States faces many well-documented problems,from climate change and terrorism to racial injustice and economic inequality—and yet,nowadays it is believed that the government should devote fewer resources to reversing an imaginary trend.”语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了心理学家亚当·马斯楚安尼和丹尼尔·吉尔伯特进行的一项研究发现,美国人普遍认为的道德衰弱其实是一种错误认识。心理学家将其归因于人们一方面倾向于关注当下的负面信息,另一方面选择性地保留关于过去的美好回忆。32.What is the function of the first paragraph A.To provide a historical review of American society.B.To present contrasting viewpoints on moral decline.C.To introduce the topic of moral decline in American society.D.To discuss the method of psychological research on moral decline.答案 C解析 推理判断题。根据第一段尤其最后一句“So is our nation’s moral foundation falling apart?”及下文对研究的介绍和分析可推知,第一段的作用是引入美国社会道德衰弱的话题。故选C。33.What is the main argument presented by Mastroianni and Gilbert in their research A.The morality of American society seems to be on a rapid rise.B.American citizens’ belief in declining morality is a false idea.C.The moral breakdown has already been a long-term issue in America.D.American society has realized its own misconception of moral decline.答案 B解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In fact,two psychologists,Columbia’s Adam Mastroianni and Harvard’s Daniel Gilbert,say that the widespread belief in moral decline(下降) is a misconception.”可知,马斯楚安尼和吉尔伯特在他们的研究中提出的主要论点是美国公民认为的“道德在衰弱”是一种错误的观念。故选B。34.According to the passage,what is the reason for the widespread belief in moral decline A.Selective memory about previous impressions.B.The mixed influence of psychological phenomena.C.Negative descriptions of morality from peers.D.Lack of government involvement in moral issues.答案 B解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中“They say that this misconception is likely explained by two well-established psychological phenomena acting together...leaving us with good memories for the past.”可知,根据文章,普遍认为道德衰弱的原因是两种心理现象的综合影响。故选B。35.What does Mastroianni and Gilbert’s research imply on social and political views A.Americans should attach more importance to global issues.B.Americans should help the government reverse the moral decline.C.Government resources should be focused on addressing the moral decline.D.Addressing the imaginary moral breakdown should not be a top choice.答案 D解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mastroianni and Gilbert also say that their discovery has important social and political implications...‘...nowadays it is believed that the government should devote fewer resources to reversing an imaginary trend.’”可推知,马斯楚安尼和吉尔伯特的研究对社会和政治观点意味着解决假想的道德衰退不应该是首要选择。故选D。第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Train Your Brain to Show KindnessIt is
