218132. （2023•城关中学•高二上二月） Over millions of years，humans have responded to certain situations without thinking too hard.If our ancestors spotted movement in the nearby forest，they would run first and question later.At the same time，the ability to analyze and to plan is part of what separates us from other animals.The question of when to trust your instinct（直觉） and when to think slow matters in the office as much as in the savannah（草原）.
   Slow thinking is the feature of a well-managed workplace.Yet instinct also has its place.Some decisions are more connected to emotional responses and less to analysis.In demanding customer-service or public-facing situations，instinct is often a better guide to how to behave.
   Instinct can also be improved.Plenty of research haown that instinct becomes more unerring with experience.In one well-known experiment，volunteers were asked to assess whether a selection of designer handbags were real or not.Some were instructed to operate on instinct and others to deliberate（深思熟虑） over their decision.Instinct worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags；indeed，it outperformed analysis.The more expert you become，the better your instinct tends to be.
   However，the real reason to embrace fast thinking is that it is，well，fast.It is often the only way to get through the day.To take one example，when your inbox floods with new emails at the start of a new day，there is absolutely no way to read them all carefully.Instinct is what helps you decide which ones to answer and which to delete or leave unopened.Fast thinking can also help the entire organization.The value of many managerial decisions lies in the simple fact that they have been made at all.Yet as data explodes，the temptation（诱惑） to ask for one more bit of analysis has become much harder to resist.Managers often suffer from overthinking，turning a simple problem into a complex one.
   When to use instinct in the workplace rests on its own form of pattern recognition.Does the decision-maker have real expertise in this area？Is this a field in which emotion matters more than reasoning？Above all，is it worth delaying the decision？Slow thinking is needed to get the big calls right.But fast thinking is the way to stop deliberation turning to a waste of time.

（1）What does the underlined word"unerring"in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．Accurate.
B．Creative.
C．Controllable.
D．Obvious.
（2）What can we learn from the passage？
A．Managers can afford the cost of slow thinking.
B．Fast thinking can be a boost to work efficiency.
C．Slow thinking will hold us back in the long run.
D．Too much data is to blame for wrong decisions.
（3）What is the author's purpose of writing the passage？
A．To explain how instinct works.
B．To compare instinct and slow thinking.
C．To highlight the value of instinct in the workplace.
D．To illustrate the development of different thinking patterns.

[解析]

（1）词义猜测题。根据文章第三段Instinct can also be improved. （直觉能够被改善。）及最后一句The more expert you become，the better your instinct tends to be.（你变得越熟练，直觉越准确。）可知划线单词所在句子 Instinct can also be improved.Plenty of research has shown that instinct becomes more unerring with experience.的意思是：本能也可以得到改善。大量研究表明，随着经验的增长，本能变得更加准确。说明随着熟练度的提高，直觉也会越来越准确。故"unerring"应是"无偏差的，精确的"意思。A.Accurate.准确的；B.Creative.有创意的；C.Controllable.可控的；D.Obvious.显而易见的。故选A项。
（2）推理判断题。根据文章第四段Instinct is what helps you decide which ones to answer and which to delete or leave unopened.Fast thinking can also help the entire organization.（直觉能够帮助你决定哪些邮件需要回复，哪些需要删除，哪些不用打开。快速思考也对整个组织有益。）可知快速思考可以提高工作效率，避免在不重要的事情上浪费时间。故选B项。
（3）推理判断题。根据文章第一段The question of when to trust your instinct （直觉）and when to think slow matters in the office as much as in the savannah （草原）（什么时候应该相信你的直觉及什么时候应该缓慢思考的问题在办公室和在大草原上一样重要。）可知，在工作场所，直觉也是很重要的。结合最后一段第一句When to use instinct in the workplace rests on its own form of pattern recognition.（什么时候在工作场所使用直觉取决于其自身的识别模式。）可知要具体分析在工作场所使用直觉的情况。联系全文内容可知，本文主要强调了直觉在工作场所的应用价值。故选C项。

201902. （2024•长安区•一模）     We may weep for the dodo，but could and should we bring this lovely bird back from the dead？De-extinction is the science of restoring lost species and it has been in the news for decades.
    The story in modern times began in 1990 when Michael Crichton published his science fiction novel Jurassic Park，in which he imagined a world where scientists were able to bring dinosaurs back to life.Crichton imagined that polymerase chain reaction （PCR） technology could be a way to amplify （放大） tiny quantities of dinosaur DNA and thus build a living embryo.
    Sadly，biologists soon realized that DNA in fact breaks down super-fast；even after 100 years，DNA from museum skins of dodos was decayed （腐烂） beyond repair.They could be sequenced （测定序列） using massive computational power，but then only with considerable uncertainty.And even if you capture a DNA sequence，there's still the problem of how you get living cells to read that sequence and express proteins that make the dinosaur or the dodo.
    But why would anyone want to see mammoths，or something like them，roaming （漫游） present-day Siberia？Well，they were undoubtedly amazing beasts.As well as hunting them，our distant ancestors painted their likenesses in caves across Europe.Fascinating as they may be，there's some ecological justification for the project too.
    It was this diversity of land surface，broken up by heavy limbs and randomly fertilised by faeces （排泄物），that supported so much flora （植物群）.Without the mammoths，that diversity disappeared.Return them and landscapes would once again be with a variety of species，including flowers and bushes.
    True，it's not de-extinction in the sense of bringing a long-dead species back to life.Instead it's more like making a "dodo" by engineering a modern pigeon，its closest relative，to become huge and flightless.The result would be a big，fatty pigeon that，whether it looked like a dodo or not，would probably fulfil some of its ecological roles.
    As a palaeontologist，I would of course love to see living dinosaurs，mammoths and dodos.In some ways，though，I am relieved that the optimistic claims for cloning and genetic technologies have not been borne out.The slowdown gives us time to consider the outcomes—and hopefully avoid some of Michael Crichton's more fevered imaginings.

（1）What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about？
A．A science fiction review.
B．The development of DNA.
C．An inspired guess of de-extinction.
D．The application of PCR technology.
（2）What's the barrier to cloning a living embryo？
A．DNA is hard to keep for long.
B．Computational power is limited.
C．Biologists are opposed to it.
D．Living cells can??t be sequenced.
（3）Why are people interested in cloning extinct species？
A．They expect to seek hunt fun.
B．They lack sources of modern art.
C．They need them for research.
D．They want to see biodiversity.
（4）What's the author's attitude toward cloning extinct species？
A．Cautious.
B．Unclear.
C．Dismissive.
D．Approving.

219828. （2020•高陵一中•高一上一月） Although there is growing research into the negative effect that screen-based technology can have on wellbeing，the trick technology companies have somehow played is that they have made it our problem，not theirs.For example，it is ridiculous that we blame young people for being addicted to their apps when the simple truth is that they are designed to be addictive.In the world of apps，addiction is what brings in money.
   Whether you run a video service，a news site or a mobile game，certainly your product will have an effect on the mental health of your users-negative or positive.But the sad reality is that if you are not optimizing that effect，it tends to be the former.The reason why so much technology doesn't support wellbeing is that wellbeing was not a consideration in its design.
   An important area for improvement is notifications（通知）.Notifications are a great example of a feature that's great for the product but bad for the user，since not only do they make us less focused but they also cause anxiety about the things we've missed，a symptom of addiction.There is very little good about an inbox icon（收件箱图标）showing a bright red circle with a high number on it.Notifications can be made friendlier by not showing them in real time.One idea is to show the level of unread messages through the weight of the app name.So if you had lots of emails，your Mail app would be very bold（粗体的），but if you didn't have any，it would be lighter.In this way，less attention will be required.
   Though it sounds challenging，finally money will talk.It is possible to make changes to products that don't damage their primary income models.Changes could be made that help us feel be better about ourselves.When a company becomes more wellbeing-positive，they add a competitive difference and become more attractive.

（1）What can be concluded from the first paragraph？
A．Young people can be tricked easily.
B．Screen-based technology is negative.
C．The addiction problem can't be solved.
D．Tech companies are to blame for addiction.
（2）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "optimizing"？
A．explaining
B．improving
C．discovering
D．admitting
（3）How can the apps reduce the negative effects according to the author？
A．By removing the inbox icon.
B．By limiting people's screen time.
C．By making notifications less eye-catching.
D．By informing the users of messages in no time.
（4）What does the author think of wellbeing-positive companies？
A．They will enjoy the benefit finally.
B．They will have an uncertain future.
C．They will do good to the minority.
D．They will change income models.

201549. （2025•西安中学•一模）     Elon Musk has offered a prize of ＄100 m for the best carbon capture proposal.I can save his committee a lot of time.The money should go to Peter Wohlleben，whose book The Hidden Life of Trees was the most encouraging blockbuster of 2015.Wohlleben's idea is this：do nothing about trees.Stop fiddling with them，thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature.If we fiddle，our Romes will burn.
    The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social.It shows that they can be our saviors.But it's terribly hard to let ourselves be saved.We think we can be the authors of our salvation（拯救）.Of course，there are things we could and should be doing，but in terms of forestry practice，often what's billed as part of the solution is part of the problem.
    Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect—it makes your garden cooler in summer and warmer in winter.Forests cool by transpiring（蒸发）.If there's no water，there's no cooling.Drought can kill trees fast，but trees have many ways of dealing with it，and Wohlleben sets them out.As a species，we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behavior—and that's how trees survive，too.Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons.They regulate their growth by changing the rate at which they drip（点滴）-feed them with sugar solution through root networks.
    Deciduous（落叶的） forests in particular remove greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live.Cut them down and burn them and you're releasing carbon dioxide not just from the wood，but also from the forest floor.Deciduous trees are not"harvest-ready"at200 years：they are teenagers.We must interrogate comforting expressions such as"renewable energy"，and learn the real cost of our toilet paper.
    If we don't learn to do nothing about trees，they will eventually be alone anyway—but without us.Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing.

（1）What does Wohlleben suggest for carbon capture？
A.Fight climate change.
B.Leave trees alone.
C.Save the earth.
D.Change forestry species.
（2）How do trees survive the drought？
A.They slow their growth.
B.They lose all their leaves.
C.They stop absorbing water.
D.They get help from humans.
（3）What can we infer from the text？
A.We can cope with climate change successfully.
B.Trees can adjust their growth by themselves.
C.It is hard to stop releasing carbon dioxide.
D.It is urgent to regulate the growth of trees.
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the text？
A.To illustrate the carbon capture system.
B.To give an account of the survival of trees.
C.To clarify a proposal for a reward.
D.To recommend a book.

217775. （2025•西安中学•高二下期末） The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research.Recent studies have found positive effects.A study conducted in Youngstown，Ohio，for example，discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime.In another，employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.
   The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology（MIT）have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse，even unusual functions.These include plants that have sensors（传感器） printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. "We're thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day，"explained Michael Strano，a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.
   One of his latest projects has been to make plants grow（发光）in experiments using some common vegetables.Strano's team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours.The light，about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by，is just a start.The technology，Strano said，could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn tree into self-powered street lamps（灯）.
   In the future，the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant's lifetime.The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off"switch"where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.
   Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed （消耗）in the US.Since lighting is often far removed from the power source（电源） - such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway- a lot of energy is lost during transmission（传输）.
   Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.

（1）What is the first paragraph mainly about？
A．A new study of different plants.
B．A big fall in crime rates.
C．Employees from various workplaces.
D．Benefits from green plants.
（2）What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer？
A．To detect plants' lack of water
B．To change compositions of plants
C．To make the life of plants longer.
D．To test chemicals in plants.
（3）What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future？
A．They will speed up energy production.
B．They may transmit electricity to the home.
C．They might help reduce energy consumption.
D．They could take the place of power plants.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．Can we grow more glowing plants？
B．How do we live with glowing plants？
C．Could glowing plants replace lamps？
D．How are glowing plants made pollution-free？

214950. （2017•西安中学•高二下期中） A current topic of debate is the amount of support and services we are willing to provide for disabled people．Many people believe that society has become more caring over the old．However，if we look back in time，this may not prove to be true．A good example can be found by looking at some remains（遗骸） of a prehistoric culture．
Several skeletons（骨架） were found in the Shanidar Cave in Iraq．It was the home of a tribe （部落） of Neanderthals who existed more than 40 000 years ago．One of these skeletons was a man about 40 years old，an old age for that period．He is thought to have been killed by a falling stone．Careful study of the bones haown that the man's right arm had never fully developed and had been cut off below the elbow（肘）．The condition of the teeth was also unlike that of other Neanderthal men's．They showed signs of excessive（过多）use，as if they had been used to make up for the lack of a right arm．
How could someone so disabled from his earliest years have survived to become an adult，and even live on to old age？Societies in such early times faced severe conditions．People who could hunt for meat were few．A disabled person must have needed to keep close to the cave and been provided with meat．In fact，more care were shown towards this disabled man during that time，which suggests that the ancient people did better in caring their disabled people than we do in present-day societies．Such concern indicates a sense of unity（团结） and cooperation that made possible the future achievements of humanity．With this in mind，are we doing enough for the disabled？Rather than being too proud of the efforts that modern society has made，it would be wise to consider if we even equal the efforts of the old societies．

（1）Considering the remains of this prehistoric culture makes us        ．
A．believe that society has become more caring over time
B．look back at Iraq history with admiration
C．question if society has become more concerned about the disabled
D．want to give more support to primitive societies
（2）The man could live until such an old age because        ．
A．he could use his teeth very well
B．he didn't have to do any hunting
C．he was taken good care of
D．the environment was excellent
（3）The example of this ancient tribe suggests that        ．
A．everyone could take part in most of the hunting activities
B．it was easy to find enough meat to feed everybody
C．life was not as difficult as modern man may think
D．they had greater care for human life than people commonly think
（4）The author believes that true civilization is achieved        ．
A．by looking to the future achievements of humanity
B．by modern people taking pride in their accomplishments
C．by supporting and taking care of all its members
D．only when we show proper concern for people living in the ancient time．

217736. （2025•师大附中•高二下期末）     Are you a short video app user？If you are ，you will probably find yourself more familiar with 15-second sped-up snippets（加速的片段） of songs than with the original tracks themselves.This trend has been evident on social media platforms particularly Douyin and--TikTok， "Sped-up versions of tracks can help artists break through or go viral，although that initial success may not last， "a radio host said.This sped-up mode offers a faster route to the dopamine rush that social media aims to arouse，leading to addiction and influencing our actions.
    Watching everything at a sped-up pace seems like a good way to take in more content in a shorter time.However，what are the consequences？"So many people worked hard making specific decisions about pacing，fighting，timing and music，and speeding that all up just ruins it ， "a Reddit user commented.
    It seems that people speed up content because they want to complete the action of watching movies and"listening"to songs，not because they enjoy the movies and songs.It's almost as if they' re telling the creators ：'I don't have the patience to care about all the detailed design and subtle（微妙的） emotions you put into the work， "All they want is a quick idea of"what's going on"and a feeling of"wow，I just consumed another place of information".
    It's obvious that people don't realize that this is destroying their patience with life.First，it's sped-up songs and movies；then gradually，it becomes a speed up life."I found myself becoming impatient with doing research for my work or preparing for a test ， "a Chinese netizen said，Since these tasks usually take hours or even days and weeks，I would think to myself， "How can I speed this up？"We already live in a fast-paced society，yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect.
    What's the rush？Some thingould not be sped up，like our patience for beauty and hard work.It's time to slow down，control the usage of screens，and regain our patience.

（1）How does the Reddit user mentioned in the text comment on accelerating content？
A.It leads to people's addiction to social media.
B.It destroys the particular decisions of the creators.
C.It allows people to obtain more content in a shorter time.
D.It gives artists chances to break through or become popular.
（2）What is one of the results of the sped-up content？
A.Leading to a loss of patience with life.
B.Helping artists to achieve success.
C.Increasing the attractiveness of social media.
D.Allowing people to better enjoy movies and songs.
（3）What is the author's attitude towards sped-up content？
A.Critical
B.Neutral
C.Supportive
D.Indifferent
（4）What is the purpose of the text？
A.To criticize people's addiction to short video apps.
B.To advocate regaining patience and concentration in creating.
C.To discuss the popularity of sped-up songs on social media.
D.To analyze the impact of sped-up content on people's patience and call for slowing down.

217774. （2025•西安中学•高二下期末） A typical lion tamer （驯兽师） in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip （鞭） and a chair．The whip gets all of the attention，but it's mostly for show．In reality，it's the chair that does the important work．When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face，the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time．With its focus divided，the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next．When faced with so many options，the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair．
   How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion？How often do you have something you want to achieve （e．g．lose weight，start a business，travel more）- only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress？
   This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best，the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information．The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things，and so we take less action，make less progress，and stay the same when we could be improving．
   It doesn't have to be that way．Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face，remember this：All you need to do is focus on one thing．You just need to get started．Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people．If you have somewhere you want to go，something you want to accomplish，someone you want to become …take immediate action．If you're clear about where you want to go，the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way．

A．To trick the lion．
B．To show off his skills．
C．To get ready for a fight．
D．To entertain the audience．

217897. （2024•华清中学•高二上一月） With rounds of pioneering space flights that could set the stage for future space tourism，it is worth looking at what might be involved for the human exploration of Mars，though it's likely decades away.Technological challenges aside，as we continue to expand our exploration of Mars，there is a question：What might be the lessons of past voyages of discovery that we should think about？
   Human exploration has led to many extraordinary new discoveries，but it has also led to the exploitation（开发） of resources.Not long after early European settlers arrived at America，they declared their independence and created the constitution by which modern American society functions.However，this did not prevent the settlers from referring to native people as savages and taking away their rights to liberty，happiness，and even survival.Native Americans were quickly killed by wars and new diseases as the new settlers expanded their land.The natural environment，with which they had established a harmonious relationship，was similarly destroyed by the settlement.Mars certainly has an impossible environment for human life，but on Mars，humans will be the invasive（侵略的）species.Will our landing on Mars break the ecosystem on Mars？It is possible that Mars has ideal minerals for future development.But apart from technology challenges，will the mining have a disastrous environment impact on this red neighbour as it has already had on Earth？
   The achievements of space exploration are certainly to be applauded.The contributions of the related researches on chemistry，medicine and many others are potentially limitless.However，as we look to exploring worlds beyond our own，we need to begin now to look at history to consider how best to engage with different life forms，cultures and environments.We may be capable of writing a law，but we first need to clear our potential invasive impact on another planet that may be completely defenseless.

（1）What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to？
A．Modern American society.
B．The creation of constitution.
C．The settlement of Europeans.
D．The exploitation of resources.
（2）What's the author's concern about the exploration of Mars？
A．Humans cannot survive on Mars.
B．Humans may bring new diseases to Mars.
C．The exploration may destroy Mars' ecosystem.
D．Technology challenges will make mining on Mars hard.
（3）What's the author's suggestion for future space exploring？
A．Making relevant laws properly.
B．Conducting more scientific researches.
C．Predicting its impacts on other planets.
D．Learning from past exploration experiences.
（4）Which column is this text most probably taken from？
A．Opinion.
B．History.
C．Technology.
D．Environment.

217803. （2024•西安一中•高一上一月） Current Culture：Is Common Culture Alive？ The digitizing（数字化） and globalizing world is changing the working of culture.As some see it，cities and nations are losing their common culture and their general spirit：people can no longer depend on those around them valuing any of the same music or films.Others argue that a common culture is not dying so much as changing forms：it is less and less attached to a particular area and ever more linked to global networks.
    The facts lead to the change that anyone can become a cultural producer today，that the culture is increasingly available everywhere you want it，and whenever you want it，not just in the two months after the movie or book came out.Cultural possibilities have multiplied （倍增） as a result，but the change also means fewer cultural moments.It is easy to find the change in terms of loss of diversity of society.So what will it mean if globalization turns us into one wide world culture？
    For the enthusiasts （热衷者） of these changes，culture is not about popular artists or books，but centers on platforms like Google and Wikipedia，where every variety of culture brings about the exchange of knowledge and ideas，and makes connections across boundaries （边界） .It is perhaps debatable whether two people who have participated in such websites，but in totally different corners of them，have had a cultural experience in common.In fact，these platforms become very successful with a large crowd of people，who build things together，share information，and forward articles back and forth.
    There are still more questions.What does it mean for the future of countries that culture now goes beyond the limits of the nation？Is there anything to defend and preserve（维护） in the passing cultural world，or is that only to favor pen over printing press，horse over automobile（汽车）？
    Up to now a growing quantity of culture has been globally spreading and developing.More individuals than ever have the chances to be makers of culture，even if that means more to choose from and fewer standards to be reached in common.What it means is this strange feeling：that of being more connected than ever，with one-click（点击） access to so much of the cultural harvest around the world，and yet，of being starved for having similar interests and opinions with others，concerned only with ourselves.

（1）In Paragraph 1 the author indicates        .
A.the missing of common culture
B.the cultural diversity among people
C.the disadvantage in the digitizing society
D.the double standard of cultural evaluation
（2）It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that        .
A.people feel satisfied with the current culture
B.enthusiasts look for current culture from famous artists
C.disappearance of common culture is a problem to be solved
D.common culture may exit into websites that connect the world
（3）What is the author's attitude towards current culture？
A.Uninterested.
B.favorable.
C.Uncertain.
D.Critical.

214607. （2019•西电附中•高一上期中） If you are planning on travelling，there are few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey．
   First of all，always check and doublecheck departure（出发） time．It is surprising how few people really do this carefully．Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten．My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10：50．When I arrived at the airport，the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed．Therefore，I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting．
   The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards（信用卡），it is still important to have some local money in cash（现金）．Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed．The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars，I offered to pay in pounds instead． "Listen!I only take real money!" the driver said angrily．You can image how terrible I felt at that moment．
   The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave．I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May，when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester，to places like Athens，Rome or Madrid，where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day．

（1）Where is the writer most probably from？
A．Britain
B．The USA
C．Italy
D．Greece
（2）When the writer found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver，he        ．
A．asked the driver to give him a free ride
B．offered to pay in pounds
C．gave the driver some fake（假的）money
D．tried to pay by credit card
（3）Generally，in May the weather in London is        ．

217916. （2024•高新一中•高一上一月）     Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven't worn for years but are reluctant to get rid of？Maybe you say， "I can't throw that away because I paid good money for it？" If you recognize this in yourself，then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy（谬论）.It occurs when we feel that we have invested too much to quit.This psychological trap causes us to stick with a plan even if it no longer serves us and the costs clearly outweigh the benefits.
    Arkes and Blumer conducted a survey showing that people are influenced by sunk cost fallacy in their decisions.Participants imagined spending ＄100 on a ski trip to Michigan and＄50 on Wisconsin，realizing later they were for the same weekend.They were told Wisconsin would be more enjoyable.When asked which trip to take，54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin，because they had made a greater initial investment.
    Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions.Once we've invested in a choice，we feel guilt or regret if we don't follow through.We fail to realize that past costs won't be recovered.Instead，we base decisions on past costs，ignoring present and future costs and benefits.This may be due to loss aversion（厌恶），where losses feel worse than gains.We avoid losses，making choices based on avoiding the "loss" of our past investment instead of considering the benefits gained if we don't continue our commitment.
    No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance.So our society loves to emphasize perseverance.Never give up!Don't waste.But only you know the right path for you.Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all.You might realize a path you're on is no longer the right one or never was.That's a painful realization.

（1）What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text？
A.People benefit from sticking with a plan.
B.People's consumption view has changed.
C.People refuse to give up the past commitment.
D.People's clothes are becoming more expensive.
（2）Why did more than half of the participants choose the trip to Michigan in the survey？
A.To save more of the loss.
B.To appear more reasonable.
C.To make a greater investment.
D.To enjoy more of themselves.
（3）When does "sunk cost fallacy" occur？
A.When we don't follow through our choices.
B.When we don't continue our commitment.
C.When we stop feeling guilty and regretful.
D.When we make decisions based on past costs emotionally.
（4）What is the author's attitude toward "perseverance"？
A.Favorable.
B.Objective.
C.Doubtful.
D.Unclear.

217917. （2024•高新一中•高一上一月）     On average，young adults in Canada spend several hours on their smartphones every day.Many jump from TikTok to Netflix to Instagram，putting their phones down only to pick up a video game controller.A growing body of research is looking into the potential dangers of digital media overuse，as well as the potential benefits of moderate digital media use from a mental health standpoint.
    A recent McGill University study of 425 Canadians between the ages of 18 and 25 has found that young adults who have more frequent psychotic（精神病的） experiences also tend to spend more time using digital media.Interestingly，the study，which surveyed the participants over a period of six months，also found that spending more time on digital media did not seem to cause any change in the frequency of psychotic experiences over time，said lead author and psychiatry resident at McGill，Vincent Paquin.
    "Our findings are comforting because they do not show evidence that digital media can cause or worsen psychotic experiences in young people，"said Paquin. "It is important to keep in mind that each person is different.In some situations，digital media may be highly beneficial for a person's well-being，and in other cases，these technologies may cause unexpected harm."
    The researchers hope their findings will help improve mental health services for young people.By better understanding the types of digital contents and activities that matter to young people，mental health services can be made more accessible and better meet individual needs，they say.
    "It is important for young people，their families，and for clinicians and policymakers to have scientific evidence on the risks and benefits of digital media for mental health，"Paquin said."Considering that young adults with more psychotic experiences may prefer digital technologies，we can use digital platforms to increase their access to accurate mental health information and appropriate services."

（1）What is the function of the first paragraph？
A.To show findings.
B.To give an example.
C.To offer a background.
D.To make a suggestion.
（2）What is Vincent Paquin's attitude to digital media use？
A.Unclear.
B.Approving.
C.Doubtful.
D.Critical.
（3）What does Vincent Paquin suggest people do about young adults' mental problems？
A.Make joint efforts to fight digital media.
B.Take advantage of digital media properly.
C.Avoid the risks of digital media to mental health.
D.Understand the mental health information better.
（4）Which of the following could be the best title for the text？
A.Mental Health Concerns Increase in the Digital Age.
B.Digital Media Overuse May Result in Mental Health.
C.Is Digital Media Use a Risk Factor for Mental Health？
D.What Are the Potential Dangers of Digital Media Overuse？

217962. （2023•西安中学•高三上四月） Lately，I've been thinking about my school life in the 1990s，when in class we were encouraged to express ourselves through creative writing，public speaking or perhaps taking part in some form of drama.And as we shared our creativity we were improving our communication skills .The emphasis here was how best to convey our thoughts as clearly as possible.Yet it seemed that all spoken word exercises were being taught only from the speaker's point of view，with little or no time spent teaching the art of listening.
   And that was a missed opportunity because young children are remarkable listeners.They take in words，ideas and speech patterns，quite often without our awareness.Yet somewhere along the way，we teach them to stop listening.Perhaps they would benefit from lessons in selective silence，concentration，while focusing on knowing how to process all incoming information.Sadly，to the best of my knowledge，no such programs are offered.
   We seem to spend less time actually listening to one another.One reason might be the fact that we have become a much more visual society as a result of exposure to television，the Internet and all manner of hand-held wireless devices.We tend to be more self-absorbed and primarily focused on hearing ourselves talk rather than listening to others.
   I attended a small family gathering a few years ago and almost everyone，except my 86-year-old aunt，was constantly texting or checking email on their iPhone.It made me wonder why we had bothered to get together in the first place as we were paying so little attention to one another.We could just as easily have had an online get-together.
   Listening is indeed a rare and special talent，and one that takes a lot of practice.But once you have gotten comfortable with the technique，you might find your next face-to-face talk a whole lot more meaningful.Simply listening for nuances（细微差别） in conversation will provide so much more context and substance for the words you are hearing.Remember，in order to be interesting，you must first be interested.And in conversation，you are supposed to be listening，not waiting to talk.

（1）What is the author's attitude toward the class in the 1990s？
A．Objective.
B．Tolerant.
C．Favorable.
D．Prejudiced.
（2）What might be a reason that makes us bad listeners according to the author？
A．We have less time to communicate.
B．We have a sense of self-importance.
C．The rapid development of technology.
D．The lack of care and understanding for others.
（3）What can we learn about the author's family gathering a few years ago？
A．His aunt wasn't good at listening.
B．His aunt didn't like attending family gatherings.
C．His family members were engaged in hot discussions.
D．His family memberowed little interest in one another.
（4）What is the purpose of the last paragraph？
A．To lead a discussion.
B．To give a suggestion.
C．To provide a warning.
D．To make a comparison.
