【18題詳解】
考查時(shí)態(tài)和主謂一致。句意：一些學(xué)校自其誕生以來就禁止它。根據(jù)句中的“since its birth”可知，謂語動(dòng)詞ban使用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，主語“sme schls”為復(fù)數(shù)意義，謂語用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填have banned。

【20題詳解】
考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。句意：越來越多的教育工作者表示，對人工智能的恐慌很像互聯(lián)網(wǎng)剛出現(xiàn)時(shí)引起的恐慌。此處為非謂語動(dòng)詞，動(dòng)詞cause與其邏輯主語panic之間為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以用過去分詞作后置定語。故填caused。

When we’re slving a cmplicated prblem, we ften gather a grup t brainstrm. We’re lking t get the best ideas as quickly as pssible. I lve seeing it happen — except fr ne tiny wrinkle. Grup brainstrming usually backfires.
Extensive evidence shws that when we generate ideas tgether, we’re unlikely t maximize cllective intelligence. As the humurist Jhn Smith said, “If yu had t identify, in ne wrd, the reasn why the human race has nt achieved, and never will achieve, its full ptential, that wrd wuld be: ‘meetings’.” But the prblem isn’t meetings themselves — it’s hw we run them.
Think abut the brainstrming sessins yu’ve attended. Yu’ve prbably seen peple bite their tngues due t eg threat (“I dn’t want t lk stupid.”), nise (“We can’t all talk at nce.”), and cnfrmity pressure (“Let’s all jump n the bss’s ship!”). Gdbye diversity f thught, hell grupthink.
T unearth the hidden ptential in teams, instead f brainstrming, we’re better ff shifting t a prcess called “brainwriting”. The initial steps are sl. Yu start by asking everyne t generate ideas separately. Next, yu pl them and share them amng the grup. T preserve independent judgment, each member evaluates them n their wn. Only then des the team cme tgether t select and refine the mst prmising ptins. By develping and assessing ideas individually befre chsing them, teams can surface and advance pssibilities that might nt get attentin therwise.
Research by rganizatinal behaviur schlar Anita Wlley and her clleagues helps t explain why this methd wrks. They find that a key t cllective intelligence is full and fair participatin. In brainstrming meetings, it’s t easy fr participatin t becme lpsided in favur f the biggest egs, the ludest vices, and the mst pwerful peple. The brainwriting prcess makes sure that all ideas are brught t the table and all vice s are brught int the cnversatin. The gal isn’t t be the smartest persn in the rm — it’s t make the rm smarter.
Cllective intelligence begins with individual creativity. But it desn’t end there. Individuals prduce a greater vlume and variety f nvel ideas when they wrk alne. That means that they cme up with mre brilliant ideas than grups — but als mre terrible ideas than grups. It takes cllective judgment t find the signal in the nise and bring the best ideas t fruitin.

【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了頭腦風(fēng)暴會(huì)議不能最大限度地發(fā)揮個(gè)人的潛能，建議通過“頭腦寫作”來挖掘團(tuán)隊(duì)中隱藏的潛力，并說明了這一方法有效的原因。
【28題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Extensive evidence shws that when we generate ideas tgether, we’re unlikely t maximize cllective intelligence. As the humurist Jhn Smith said, “If yu had t identify, in ne wrd, the reasn why the human race has nt achieved, and never will achieve, its full ptential, that wrd wuld be: ‘meetings’.”(大量證據(jù)表明，當(dāng)我們一起產(chǎn)生想法時(shí)，我們不太可能最大化集體智慧。正如幽默作家約翰·史密斯所說：“如果你必須用一個(gè)詞來說明人類沒有、也永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)其全部潛力的原因，這個(gè)詞就是：‘會(huì)議’?！?”可知，約翰·史密斯和作者可能都同意，頭腦風(fēng)暴會(huì)議不能最大限度地發(fā)揮個(gè)人的潛能。故選D。
【29題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“In brainstrming meetings, it’s t easy fr participatin t becme lpsidedin favur f the biggest egs, the ludest vices, and the mst pwerful peple. (在頭腦風(fēng)暴會(huì)議中，參與很容易變得lpsided，有利于最自負(fù)、最響亮的聲音和最有權(quán)勢的人)”可知，頭腦風(fēng)暴會(huì)議中，參與者很容易傾向于最自負(fù)、聲音最大和最有權(quán)勢的人，即變得不平衡。故劃線詞意思是“不平衡的”。故選B。
【30題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“T unearth the hidden ptential in teams, instead f brainstrming, we’re better ff shifting t a prcess called “brainwriting”. (為了挖掘團(tuán)隊(duì)中隱藏的潛力，我們最好不要進(jìn)行頭腦風(fēng)暴，而是轉(zhuǎn)向一種叫做“頭腦寫作”的過程)”以及倒數(shù)第二段“Research by rganizatinal behaviur schlar Anita Wlley and her clleagues helps t explain why this methd wrks. (組織行為學(xué)學(xué)者安妮塔·伍利及其同事的研究有助于解釋這種方法為何有效)”結(jié)合文章主要說明了頭腦風(fēng)暴會(huì)議不能最大限度地發(fā)揮個(gè)人的潛能，建議通過“頭腦寫作”來挖掘團(tuán)隊(duì)中隱藏的潛力，并說明了這一方法有效的原因?？赏浦髡邔戇@篇文章主要是為了提倡一種做法。故選C。

Climate experts are having a debate: they are asking whether the UK shuld fcus mre n adapting t climate change r trying t prevent it
David Frst hlds that preventing climate change is n lnger an ptin, given the extent t which the Earth nw appears certain t heat up. Despite the many plicies which attempt t stp climate change, it nw seems unavidable that the wrld will pass the 1.5℃ r 2℃ increases in average glbal temperature that are likely t induce large changes in the climate.
David Frst is right in that ur ecnmies are grwing s much slwer than we had anticipated. Our emissins can drp if we reduce emissins per unit f GDP we create—but they can als drp if the GDP is lwer. Lwer grwth means it is mre feasible (可行的) fr us t achieve targets such as Net Zer, but it als makes it less envirnmentally urgent t achieve thse targets s sn, because we are and have been emitting a lt less carbn than we had anticipated.
The UK authrity finds the debate abut adaptatin difficult. Partly, it is because sme activists claim that adaptatin is nt feasible. They say that climate change will end human civilizatin, ptentially leading t the entire extinctin f the human race.
Hwever, the mainstream view f many scientists and ecnmists, wh wrk n climate change, is that glbal warming culd lead t large changes in ur envirnment. Significant parts f the wrld currently heavily ppulated culd becme effectively uninhabitable while ther parts currently unsuitable fr high-density human habitatin wuld becme mre habitable. Meanwhile, at higher temperatures bth climate and weather are likely t becme mre vlatile—including increased frequency f strms, flding and ther weather events.
These wuld be significant changes, but it wuld be perfectly feasible fr humans t adapt t them. The issue is nt whether adapting wuld be technically feasible, but whether it wuld be desirable either in ethical r practical terms. Are we willing t accept a materially warmer wrld, with humans living in different parts f it? Are we willing t accept the pssible extinctins f certain species and the greater flurishing f thse currently less successful and f new species yet t evlve? Are we willing t accept the cnsequences f a large shift in the patterns f human habitatin acrss the wrld?
It is by n means clear n what basis we ught t ethnically privilege the plants and animals that flurish under tday’s climate ver thse that wuld flurish under a warmer, mre vlatile climate. Hwever, adaptatin will be feasible and is a necessity given the extent t which warming is nw unavidable. Slwer GDP grwth and thus slwer climate change ught t make greater effrts at adaptatin mre attractive.
31. Accrding t the passage, wh hesitate(s) t adapt t the climate change?
A. The gvernment.B. Climate experts.
C. David Frst.D. The activists.
32. The underlined wrd “vlatile” in Paragraph 5 prbably means ________.
A. changeableB. predictableC. bearableD. nticeable
33. The questins in Paragraph 6 are mainly aimed at __________.
A. expressing dubts abut peple’s adaptability
B. presenting examples f future climate patterns
C. highlighting the cnsequences f human activities
D. helping peple decide n their penness t adaptatin
34. Which f the fllwing might the authr agree with?
A. Slwing climate change deserves great effrts.

C. Adaptatin t climate change is beynd questin.
D. Prtectin f the current species shuld be priritized.
【答案】31. A 32. A 33. D 34. C
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文，主要講述了目前關(guān)于如何應(yīng)對氣候變化有兩種不同觀點(diǎn)——適應(yīng)氣候變化或者阻止氣候變化，但作者認(rèn)為適應(yīng)氣候變化是可行的和必要的。
【31題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)2段的“David Frst hlds that preventing climate change is n lnger an ptin, given the extent t which the Earth nw appears certain t heat up.(大衛(wèi)·弗羅斯特(David Frst)認(rèn)為，考慮到地球現(xiàn)在似乎肯定會(huì)變暖的程度，阻止氣候變化不再是一種選擇。) ”可以判斷Frst是支持適應(yīng)氣候變化的，根據(jù)第4段“The UK authrity finds the debate abut adaptatin difficult. Partly, it is because sme activists claim that adaptatin is nt feasible. They say that climate change will end human civilizatin, ptentially leading t the entire extinctin f the human race.(英國當(dāng)局發(fā)現(xiàn)，有關(guān)適應(yīng)氣候變化的辯論很困難。部分原因是一些活動(dòng)人士聲稱適應(yīng)氣候變化是不可行的。他們說，氣候變化將終結(jié)人類文明，有可能導(dǎo)致整個(gè)人類滅絕。)”可知英國當(dāng)局對關(guān)于適應(yīng)論的爭論犯了難，即不知道該支持哪邊，對是否去適應(yīng)氣候變化存疑。故選A。
【32題詳解】
詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第五段破折號后的“including increased frequency f strms, flding and ther weather events(包括暴風(fēng)雨、洪水和其他天氣事件的頻率增加)”可知，風(fēng)暴、洪水和其他天氣事件發(fā)生的頻率增加，由此可推測出，氣候和天氣可能變得更加多變。vlatile意為“易變的”，與changeable意思最接近。故選A。
【33題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段中的“The issue is nt whether adapting wuld be technically feasible, but whether it wuld be desirable either in ethical r practical terms.(問題不在于適應(yīng)在技術(shù)上是否可行，而在于從道德或?qū)嵺`角度來看是否可取。)”可知，從技術(shù)上來說適應(yīng)氣候變化是可行的，但問題是從道德或?qū)嵺`角度來看適應(yīng)氣候變化是否可取。接下來“Are we willing t accept a materially warmer wrld, with humans living in different parts f it? Are we willing t accept the pssible extinctins f certain species and the greater flurishing f thse currently less successful and f new species yet t evlve? Are we willing t accept the cnsequences f a large shift in the patterns f human habitatin acrss the wrld?(我們是否愿意接受一個(gè)實(shí)質(zhì)上更溫暖的世界，人類生活在這個(gè)世界的不同地方？我們是否愿意接受某些物種可能滅絕，以及那些目前不太成功的物種和尚未進(jìn)化的新物種更加繁榮？我們是否愿意接受世界各地人類居住模式發(fā)生重大轉(zhuǎn)變的后果？)”用提問的方式引發(fā)人們思考是否能接受氣候變化帶來的影響。由此可推測出，這些問題旨在幫助人們確定自己對適應(yīng)的接受性。故選D。
【34題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Hwever, adaptatin will be feasible and is a necessity given the extent t which warming is nw unavidable.(然而，考慮到氣候變暖目前不可避免的程度，適應(yīng)將是可行的，也是必要的。)”可知，作者認(rèn)為氣候變暖是不可避免的，所以適應(yīng)是可行的和必要的，由此可推測出，作者認(rèn)為適應(yīng)氣候變化是毋庸置疑的。故選C。

【36題詳解】
根據(jù)上文“Unfrtunately, with the emergence f the Internet, we can nw cmpare urselves t literally anyne in the wrld.(不幸的是，隨著互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的出現(xiàn)，我們現(xiàn)在可以將自己與世界上的任何人進(jìn)行比較)”以及后文“What had in previus generatins been a small gap in ur cmparisns has nw becme s large and unattainable.(在我們的比較中，前幾代人的小差距現(xiàn)在變得如此之大，難以企及)”可知，上文提到了互聯(lián)網(wǎng)讓我們可以和世界上的任何人進(jìn)行比較，且后文提到了前幾代人的小差距現(xiàn)在變得如此之大，說明互聯(lián)網(wǎng)導(dǎo)致比較的群體發(fā)生了變化，C選項(xiàng)“因此，我們現(xiàn)在接觸到的群體與我們完全不同”符合語境，故選C。
【37題詳解】
根據(jù)后文內(nèi)容“When s many peple that are easily discverable n the Internet seem t be s successful. famus, influential and beautiful, given ur preference t cmpare, it is difficult nt t have it influence hw we view urselves. Sadly, these cmparisns usually result in ur feeling inadequate and “l(fā)ess than”.(當(dāng)這么多在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上很容易被發(fā)現(xiàn)的人看起來很成功的時(shí)候。名氣、影響力和美貌，考慮到我們喜歡攀比，很難不影響我們對自己的看法?？杀氖?，這些比較通常會(huì)導(dǎo)致我們感覺不足和“不如”)”可知，后文提到了互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的比較影響了我們對自己的看法，導(dǎo)致我們感覺不足和“不如”，說明這種比較對我們的心理產(chǎn)生了影響。故G選項(xiàng)“這種新的比較水平對我們的心理生活有著巨大的影響”符合語境，故選G。
【38題詳解】
根據(jù)上文“These harmful cmparisns als damage ur emtinal lives. When we feel lacking, we experience a variety f unpleasant and unhealthy emtins.

【39題詳解】
根據(jù)上文“It’s ne thing t realize that yu cmpare yurself t thers. It’s anther thing t recgnize that scial cmparisn is ften crrsive (逐步侵蝕的) t yu in s many ways psychlgically and emtinally.

Smartphnes have becme a big part f peple’s lives. When we temprarily can’t find them, it causes a feeling f anxiety r panic. Sme psychlgists have called it “nmphbia”. Thankfully, I rde thrugh the withdrawal f my smartphne and it was shrt-lived.
When I gt my first smartphne ver a decade ag, I lved it. It gave me instant access t my music, a wrld f infrmatin and thusands f phts and vides. But ver time, I became increasingly ambivalent abut its rle in my life. I wuld repeatedly refresh my email, shp nline fr stuff I didn’t need and cnstantly scrll thrugh the latest news. I’d ften cmplain t my husband and t my seven-year-ld sn, Luis, that I felt trapped by it.
Then, ne day last summer, while I was playing with Luis, I was nce again distracted by dings and pings. He finally reminded me f my cmplaints, but rephrased them as a plea: “Mmmy, just give it up already!”
I decided t try. Instead f ging cld turkey—n cellphne at all—I bught a flip phne. With n tuch screen, texting is time-cnsuming. Once, while trying t catch up n texts with a friend, I finally gt frustrated and called her. I realized I hadn’t spken t her since her big mve. It made a difference t hear bth the excitement in her vice as she described seeing the nrthern lights and her sadness in being away frm a sick parent.
Nwadays, peple may prefer text-based cmmunicatin ver using the phne because they fear that the call will be awkward. But, just as I learned, when we were frced t cnnect vice t vice, we wuld find urselves mre bnded t that persn.
Wuyu Sui, an expert researching digital health, describes nmphbia as a reliance that’s been placed upn us. “Whenever smething is designed t make a chice easier, it’s called a behaviural nudge,” he explains, adding that the mre central t ur lives the smartphne’s functins are, the mre prisned we becme.

【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇記敘文。主要介紹了過度使用智能手機(jī)會(huì)導(dǎo)致壓力和焦慮。作者放棄了智能手機(jī)，選擇了一款普通手機(jī)，并體驗(yàn)到了與人重新聯(lián)系的好處。心理學(xué)家提出，這種對沒有智能手機(jī)的恐懼是一種行為推動(dòng)，導(dǎo)致我們變得更加依賴。最終，作者能夠在沒有智能手機(jī)的情況下生活，過上更平靜、更可控的生活。
【50題詳解】
考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段“Nwadays, peple may prefer text-based cmmunicatin ver using the phne because they fear that the call will be awkward. But, just as I learned, when we were frced t cnnect vice t vice, we wuld find urselves mre bnded t that persn.( 如今，人們可能更喜歡用短信交流而不是用電話，因?yàn)樗麄儞?dān)心打電話會(huì)很尷尬。但是，正如我所了解到的，當(dāng)我們被迫將聲音與聲音連接起來時(shí)，我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己與那個(gè)人的聯(lián)系更緊密。)”可知，根據(jù)作者的說法，當(dāng)我們被迫將聲音與聲音連接起來時(shí)，我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己與那個(gè)人的聯(lián)系更緊密。由此可知，下列這項(xiàng)陳述中“we will find it awkward（我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)很尷尬）”這個(gè)部分是錯(cuò)誤的。因?yàn)楦鶕?jù)作者的說法，當(dāng)我們和朋友打電話時(shí)，我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己和他/她更親近。故答案是：?Accrding t the authr, we will find it awkward t talk with a friend n the phne. Accrding t the authr, we will find urselves mre bnded t the friend when talking with him/her n the phne.
【51題詳解】
考查開放性試題。根據(jù)文章大意以及題干中的問題可知，除了文中提到的方法，避免“無手機(jī)恐懼癥”我們還可以考慮定期遠(yuǎn)離科技產(chǎn)品，參加線下活動(dòng)。此外，當(dāng)你不需要手機(jī)的時(shí)候，你可以關(guān)掉手機(jī)或把它放在家里，把注意力集中在你周圍的人和事上。故答案是：T avid nmphbia, ne can cnsider taking regular breaks frm technlgy and engaging in ffline activities. Besides, yu can turn ff yur phne r leave it at hme when yu dn’t need it, and fcusing n the peple and things arund yu.
