例題While the arts can’t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.We often experience works of art as something that's pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions(解決). Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No. 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy(歡樂頌). Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces. The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today’ s competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.1What value does art have beyond pleasing people's senses?AIt brings people inner peace.BIt contributes to problem-solving.CIt reduces the possibility of crises.DIt deepens understanding of music.2What can we learn about Beethoven's Symphony No. 9?AIt celebrates freedom and unity.BIt aims to show crises and chaos.CIt opens with Schiller's Ode to Joy.DIt is unfinished due to his hearing loss.3What is the author's suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces?ALeaving things as they are.BMaking a choice between them.CSeparating them from each other.DEngaging them in a conversation.4Which of the following can be the best title for the text?AHow COVID-19 changes artBEssentials of Symphony No. 9CMoving artfully through crisesDJoy in the eyes of Beethoven【答案】1.B   2.A   3.D   4.C【解析】本文是一篇議論文。文章主要介紹了在疫情響下的世界背景中,藝術(shù)為我們提供了應(yīng)對危機(jī)和沖突的創(chuàng)造性思路。1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段第二句Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions.(偉大的藝術(shù)作品向我們展示沖突與危機(jī),我們能從它們的解決中獲得啟示。)可知,理解藝術(shù)有助于現(xiàn)實中問題的解決。故選B2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段第三句The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy.(這首交響曲的開頭似乎毫無來由,從幾乎寂靜的開頭,許多人認(rèn)為是對自由的喜悅和全世界兄弟般情誼的歡樂頌》的充分表達(dá)。) 可知,貝多芬的第九交響曲歌頌的主題是自由與團(tuán)結(jié)。故選A。3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段第一句Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces.(如果你讓對立的這兩個部分進(jìn)行對話,你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)它們總是從一開始就互相爭斗,直到我們對它們之間的差異有了一個正確的認(rèn)識——這兩個對立的力量是一體的。)可推斷,作者對于處理沖突各方的建議是讓各方進(jìn)行對話、交流。故選D4.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段While the arts can' t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.(雖然藝術(shù)無法阻止COVID-19病毒或我們今天在世界上看到的社會動蕩,但它們可以讓我們了解我們在應(yīng)對危機(jī)和混亂時所做的選擇。藝術(shù)邀請每個人以新的方式思考。)結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容可知,文章主要介紹的是理解藝術(shù)對于應(yīng)對現(xiàn)實危機(jī)與沖突的啟示。所以“Moving artfully through crises(藝術(shù)地通過危機(jī))”作為文章標(biāo)題最為合適。故選C。 一)I’ve recently found myself wondering if I could do without Google Maps. It is, I think, the only app on my phone I’d really miss were I to swap my smartphone for a “dumb” one that handles only calls and text messages.Why am I thinking about this? It’s because every time I try to read a book, I end up picking up my phone instead. I keep interrupting my own train of thought in order to do something that I don’t consciously want to do.This is not accidental. Developers have become even more unashamed in their attempts to keep us hooked on our smartphones. Some of them speak in the language of addiction and behavioural psychology, though most prefer the term “persuasive tech”. In itself, persuasive tech is not a new idea — an academic named BJ Fogg has been running classes from a “persuasive tech lab” at Stanford since the late 1990s. But as smartphone ownership has rocketed and social-media sites have been born, persuasive tech has vastly expanded its reach.One company, Dopamine Labs — named for the chemical released in the reward center of the brain — offers a service to tech businesses wanting to “keep users engaged”. Founder Ramsay Brown tells me he wants people to understand that “their thoughts and feelings are on the table as things that can be controlled and designed”. He thinks there should be more conversation around the persuasive power of the technologies being used. “We believe everyone has a right to cognitive liberty, and to build the kind of mind they want to live in,” he says.The poster child of the resistance movement against addictive apps is former Google “design ethicist” Tristan Harris. He thinks the power to change the system lies not with app developers but with the hardware providers. In 2014, Harris founded “Time Well Spent”, a group that campaigns for more moral design practices among developers.Any tech business that relies on advertising profits is motivated to hold its users online for as long as possible, Harris says. This means apps are specifically designed to keep us in them. Apple, on the other hand, wants to sell phones but doesn’t have a profit stream so tightly connected to the amount of time its customers spend online. Harris hopes that companies like Apple could use their influence to encourage more morally designed apps.While I wait for Apple to sort this out, I find myself longing for something called a “Light Phone”, a credit-card-sized handset that does absolutely nothing but make and receive calls. Price tag? $150. Seems expensive. But the company’s website is very persuasive.5According to the author, what makes us so glued to our smartphones?APeople's inborn behaviours. BApp developers’ intentionCUser-friendly apps DHardware providers6What does Dopamine Labs's founder believe?ATech businesses have gone too far in controlling users’ mindsBPersuasive technologies are dangerous to users’ cognitive liberty.CThe persuasive power of the technologies deserves more attentionDEveryone can live the life they desire by using persuasive technologies.7Which of the following best explains the underlined words “The poster child” in paragraph 5?AThe advertiser BThe advocateCThe opponent DThe founder8What can be a suitable title for the text?ADo we have a right to cognitive liberty?BWhat have persuasive tech done to us?CWhy a dumb phone is a smart move?DHow smartphones shape our minds?【答案】5B 6C 7B 8C解析這是一篇議論文。作者主要講述為什么要把智能手機(jī)換成傻瓜手機(jī)。5.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句話“This is not accidental. Developers have become even more unashamed in their attempts to keep us hooked on our smartphones.”(發(fā)生這一切不是偶然的。為了讓我們一刻都離不開我們的智能手機(jī),開發(fā)人員的手段越來越肆無忌憚了。)可知,開發(fā)人員想盡一切辦法讓我們離不開手機(jī),所以我們對手機(jī)上癮是開發(fā)人員有意為之的。故選B。6.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干Dopamine Labs's founder定位到第四段,再根據(jù)第四段倒數(shù)第二句“He thinks there should be more conversation around the persuasive power of the technologies being used.”(他認(rèn)為,應(yīng)該對說服技術(shù)的使用進(jìn)行更廣泛的討論。)可知C選項表達(dá)了他的看法。故選C7.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)本句后半部分is former Google “design ethicist” Tristan Harris.(是前谷歌設(shè)計倫理學(xué)家特里斯坦?哈里斯。)可知,主語應(yīng)該指人,再結(jié)合橫線后the resistance movement against addictive apps(抵制易上癮應(yīng)用運動)以及He thinks the power to change the system lies not with app developers but with the hardware providers. In 2014, Harris founded “Time Well Spent”, a group that campaigns for more moral design practices among developers.(他認(rèn)為,改變目前這一體系的力量不掌握在應(yīng)用開發(fā)人員手上,而掌握在硬件提供商手中。早在2014年,哈里斯就創(chuàng)建了一個名叫光陰不虛度組織,呼吁開發(fā)公司在應(yīng)用開發(fā)過程中堅持設(shè)計倫理。)可知,哈里斯是抵制易上癮應(yīng)用運動的代表人物,所以The poster child應(yīng)指該運動的支持者,代表人物;A. The advertiser 顧問;B. The advocate 支持者;C. The opponent 反對者;D. The founder 創(chuàng)始人。故選B。8.主旨大意題。通讀全文,第一段作者提出It is, I think, the only app on my phone I’d really miss were I to swap my smartphone for a “dumb” one that handles only calls and text messages.(如果我要將現(xiàn)在的智能手機(jī)換成只能打電話、發(fā)短信的傻瓜手機(jī),(谷歌地圖)可能是我唯一真正想念的一個應(yīng)用了);第二段It’s because every time I try to read a book, I end up picking up my phone instead. I keep interrupting my own train of thought in order to do something that I don’t consciously want to do.(因為每當(dāng)我想讀會兒書時,我最終拿起的卻是手機(jī)。為了做一些我不愿做的事,我不停地打斷自己的思路。)進(jìn)一步說明自己想換傻瓜手機(jī)的理由;第三、四、五段引用科學(xué)研究理論來說明手機(jī)正試圖改變你大腦中的化學(xué)成份,讓你花更多時間做你不想做的事情,以及技術(shù)界試圖幫助我們重新獲得自控力等理論依據(jù),可知,本文主要講述為什么要把智能手機(jī)換成傻瓜手機(jī)。故選C。(二We have to make certain our limited money is well spent. But what should we spend our money on? A 20-year study conducted by Dr. Gilovich, a professor at Cormell University, reached a powerful and straightforward conclusion: don't spend your money on things.The trouble with things is that the happiness they provide peters out. We get used to new possessions, and what once seemed exciting quickly becomes the norm. We keep raising the bar and always look for an even better one. Possessions, by their nature, cause comparisons. We buy a new car and are thrilled with it until a friend buys a better one—and there's always someone with a better one. Most of us usually assume that the happiness we get from buying something will last as long as the thing itself. It seems intuitive(直覺的) that investing in something we can see, hear, and touch on a permanent basis delivers the best value. But it's not the case at all.Gilovich has found that experiences deliver more-lasting happiness than things. Experiences become a part of our identity. Everyone's experience is unique. We are not our possessions, but we are the accumulation of everything we've seen, the things we've done, and the places we've been to. “Our experiences are a bigger part of ourselves than our material goods,” said Gilovich. “You can really like your material stuff. You can even think that part of your identity is connected to those things, but they remain separate from you. In contrast, your experiences really are part of you. We are the sum total of our experiences.”Besides, we don't compare experiences in the same way that we compare things. It's hard to quantify the relative value of any two experiences, which makes them that much more enjoyable. And expectation of an experience causes excitement and enjoyment, while expectation of obtaining a possession causes impatience. Experiences are enjoyable from the very first moments of planning, all the way through to the memories you keep forever. The temporary happiness achieved by buying things can be regarded as “puddles(水坑) of pleasure.” In other words, that kind of happiness evaporates(蒸發(fā)) quickly and leaves us wanting more. Things may last longer than experiences, but the memories that remain are what matter most.9The underlined phrase “peters out” can be replaced by_________________.Adies away Bis too little Cis not real Dcosts too much10What does Gilovich think of experiences?AExperiences deliver less-lasting happiness than things.BExperiences can exist in our memory forever.COur experiences take up all parts of ourselves.DOur experiences are what separate us from others.11What can be inferred from the passage ?AExperiences can be compared with each otherBExpecting an experience increases our feeling of anxietyCPeople are more likely to be impatient when buying thingsDSpiritual wealth is the most valuable for us12Which is the main idea of the passage?AHow can we gain happiness with money?BHow can we make happiness last long?CWhy should we spend money on experiences instead of things?DWhy do experiences achieve permanent happiness than things?【答案】9A 10D 11D 12C解析本文是一篇議論文,作者論證說明了一個道理為什么要把錢花在經(jīng)歷上,而不是事物上。9.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線短語所在句后一句提到“We get used to new possessions, and what once seemed exciting quickly becomes the norm.”(我們習(xí)慣了新?lián)碛械臇|西,曾經(jīng)令人興奮的東西很快就變成了常態(tài)。),即可推斷出新?lián)碛械臇|西,能夠帶來的快樂是短暫的 ,很快就會消失,peters out對應(yīng)的同義詞應(yīng)是“die away”,故選A。10.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段提到“Gilovich has found that experiences deliver more-lasting happiness than things. Experiences become a part of our identity. Everyone's experience is unique.”(吉洛維奇發(fā)現(xiàn),體驗比物質(zhì)更能帶來持久的幸福。經(jīng)歷成為我們身份的一部分。每個人的經(jīng)歷都是獨一無二的。)可知,吉洛維奇(Gilovich)認(rèn)為經(jīng)歷是個人身份的象征,個人的經(jīng)歷形成與他人的區(qū)別,故選D。11.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段首句提到“The trouble with things is that the happiness they provide peters out.” (問題是,事物所帶來的快樂會逐漸消失。)及第三段首句提到“Gilovich has found that experiences deliver more-lasting happiness than things.”(吉洛維奇發(fā)現(xiàn),體驗比物質(zhì)更能帶來持久的幸福。)及最后一段最后一句提到“Things may last longer than experiences, but the memories that remain are what matter most.”(事物可能比經(jīng)歷更持久,但留下的記憶才是最重要的。)可推斷出,在作者的觀點看來,事物可能留存的時間比經(jīng)歷更久,但是并不能帶來長久的幸福,而經(jīng)歷留下的精神財富才是最重要的,故選D。12.主旨大意題。通讀全文內(nèi)容可知,本文主要講述了事物能夠帶來的幸福是短暫,經(jīng)歷留下來的精神財富才是最重要的;再根據(jù)第一段首句,引出文章主題“We have to make certain our limited money is well spent. But what should we spend our money on?”(我們必須確保有限的錢花得值。但是我們應(yīng)該把錢花在什么地方呢),所以本文主要想表達(dá)的主題是為什么要把錢花在經(jīng)歷上,而不是事物上,故選C。(三It's common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci's most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out wrong.A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle that’s 15. 4 degrees off to the observer's right-well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann,“She’s not looking at you.” This is somewhat ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person's gaze(凝視) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the "Mona Lisa effect". That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person's gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars (虛擬頭像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn't looking at him. To make sure it wasn't just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa" on a computer screen. They set a ruler between the viewer and the screen and asked the participants to note which number on the ruler intersected Mona Lisa’s gaze. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze as she looked at the viewer, they moved the ruler farther from or closer to the screen during the study. Consistently, the researchers found, participants judged that the woman in the “Mona Lisa” portrait was not looking straight at them, but slightly off to their right.So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it was a cool name.13What is generally believed about the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa”?AShe attracts the viewers to look back.BShe seems mysterious because of her eyes.CShe fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers.DShe looks at the viewers wherever they stand.14What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect?A BC D15Why was the experiment involving 24 people conducted?ATo confirm Horstmann's belief.BTo create artificial-intelligence avatars.CTo calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze.DTo explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied.16What can we learn from the text?AHorstmann thinks it’s cool to coin the term "Mona Lisa effect”BThe Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.CFeeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attentionDThe position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers' judgment【答案】13.D  14.B  15.A  16.C解析這是一篇議論文。文章通過解析達(dá)芬奇的名畫蒙娜麗莎給人的誤解,來進(jìn)一步解釋了人們注視對方時的角度影響著被注視人的感覺。13.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段,“It's common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci's most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room.”(人們通常認(rèn)為,達(dá)芬奇名畫蒙娜麗莎似乎在回視著觀察者,無論他們站在屋里的什么地方),可知,蒙娜麗莎給人的感覺是,人們在注視她的同時,她也在看著人們。故選D。14.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章“As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.”(只要這個人凝視的視角在任何兩邊不超過5度,那么蒙娜麗莎的效應(yīng)就會發(fā)生),可知,左右5度的范圍是蒙娜麗莎效應(yīng)發(fā)生的視角條件,B圖符合句意。故選B。15.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段“To make sure it wasn't just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen.”(為了確認(rèn)不只是他有這樣的感覺,他邀請了24個人去看電腦屏幕上的蒙娜麗莎圖像),可知,他用24個人去做實驗,只是為了驗證自己的想法。故選A。16.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段,“It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them.”(他說,很可能是人們有被注視的渴望,所以他們認(rèn)為這個女人在看著他們),可知,大多數(shù)人覺得蒙娜麗莎看著自己,其實都是自己的錯覺。故選C。(四Getting stuck with gifts we do not want is no small problem. In a survey across 14 countries in Europe, meanwhile, 1 in 7 said they were unhappy with what they received for Christmas, yet more than half simply kept the gifts.Why can’t more gifts be passed along to people who appreciate them? People in a study published in the Journal of Consumer Behaviour, for instance, used such words as guilty, lazy, thoughtless and disrespectful in describing their feelings about regifting. Popular culture casts it as taboo (禁忌), as well.However, our research with Francis J. Flynn, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business, suggests the shame associated with regifting is largely unwarranted. Indeed, our research consistently tells us that people overestimate the negative consequences.We asked people to imagine themselves as a “giver,” who gives someone a gift card and later learned it had been regifted. The general attitude of the original givers was: “It’s your gift, do what you want with it.” Next, we asked givers to compare regifting a supposed wristwatch with throwing it in the trash. For the original givers, regifting the watch was a much less offensive act than trashing it.Finally, we invited to our lab at Stanford people who had recently received presents, and divided the people into two groups. When we gave the first group an opportunity to regift that present, 9% did so. When we gave the second group the same opportunity, we added that it was “National Regifting Day”. It wasn't really National Regifting Day, but the group didn’t know that: 30% of them agreed to regift.Everyone has received unwanted gifts in their lives, and generally we will receive more in the future. Our research offers a simple solution to that problem. This holiday season, consider regifting, and encourage receivers of your gifts to do the same if what you gave them isn't quite what they hoped for.17Why does the author mention the study in Journal of Consumer Behaviour?ATo highlight the importance of regifting.BTo show people’s attitudes to regifting.CTo challenge the rightness of regifting.DTo express his concern for regifting.18What is the meaning of the underlined word “unwarranted”?AUnnecessary. BUncertain.CUnimportant. DUnconscious.19What do we know about the research?A9% simply kept unwanted gifts.B30% didn’t know National Regifting Day.CGivers generally didn’t mind regifting.DReceivers tended to trash unwanted gifts.20What can we conclude from the text?ARegifting is offensive. BRegifting is forbidden.CRegifting is popular. DRegifting is acceptable.【答案】17B 18A 19C 20D解析本文是一篇議論文。文章主要講述了人們對轉(zhuǎn)送禮物的看法和態(tài)度以及對此進(jìn)行的調(diào)查研究。17.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的People in a study published in the Journal of Consumer Behaviour, for instance, used such words as guilty, lazy, thoughtless and disrespectful in describing their feelings about regifting.可知,在《消費者行為雜志》上發(fā)表的一項研究中,人們用罪惡,懶惰,輕率和無禮的詞語來形容他們對轉(zhuǎn)送禮物的感覺。從而推斷出,作者在《消費者行為雜志》中提到該研究是想表明人們對轉(zhuǎn)送禮物的態(tài)度。故選B18.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段的Popular culture casts it as taboo (禁忌), as well.可知,大多數(shù)人認(rèn)為把得到的禮物轉(zhuǎn)送出是一個禁忌,也就是不應(yīng)該送出去。而第三段就使用了however這個詞進(jìn)行了轉(zhuǎn)折,然而沒那么多人覺得這是禁忌,表示這種情況是被高估了的。再根據(jù)第三段Indeed, our research consistently tells us that people overestimate the negative consequences.可知,研究表明人們高估了與轉(zhuǎn)送禮物相關(guān)的恥辱的負(fù)面后果??梢圆聹y出上一句意思是:但是,與轉(zhuǎn)送禮物相關(guān)的恥辱在很大程度上是沒有必要的。因為我們高估了它。所以可以猜出unwarranted的意思是不必要的。故選A19.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的The general attitude of the original givers was: “It’s your gift, do what you want with it. “可知,原始送禮者的總體態(tài)度是:這是您的禮物,隨您便吧。由此可知,一般來說,送禮者都不介意禮物給別人。故選C。20.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的This holiday season, consider regifting, and encourage receivers of your gifts to do the same if what you gave them isn't quite what they hoped for.鼓勵收到你的禮物的人可以將不喜歡的禮物轉(zhuǎn)送給別人。由此可知,這是在鼓勵人們轉(zhuǎn)送禮物,即轉(zhuǎn)送禮物是可以接受的。故選D。五)I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(來源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.I always read ,using different voices ,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books .Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on form generation to generation.As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避風(fēng)港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盜版行為) and 1 think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.21. Which word best describes the author’s relationship with books as a child?A. Cooperative. B.
