(限时:25分钟)
Passage 1
(2023辽宁鞍山二模)
A few years ago,I went shopping with a friend for a new motorcycle.He didn’t have a particular brand or model in mind except two standards.A big engine—since too much horsepower is never enough—and since he’s tall,a relatively relaxed riding position.
I suggested a Hayabusa,which met his standards or an XS-14R.Both were within his budget,especially the Hayabusa since the dealer was offering a $2,500 discount on a previous year’s model.
He rode them both and loved them both.But then he became very interested in a ZX-6R KRT—a great motorcycle,sure,but with a much smaller motor and a riding position that made him look like a contorted mantis(变形的螳螂).It seemed like a strange choice.
I felt puzzled until it hit me.The purchase of any motorcycle 750cc and under came with a free helmet (头盔).Since my friend also wanted a new helmet,getting one for free was extremely attractive.After all,the math didn’t work.We eventually negotiated $3,200 off the price of the Hayabusa.The free helmet was only worth $250.However,my friend’s final decision was ZX-6R KRT with a free helmet.
A 2017 study published in Marketing Science found that people tend to significantly overvalue “free”.When faced with a choice of selecting one of several available products,people will choose the option with the highest cost-benefit difference;however,decisions about free (zero-price) products differ,because people do not simply take away costs from benefits but instead,consider the benefits associated with free products to be higher.
Two months later,my friend traded in his 6R for a 14R.But I don’t think badly of him.We’ve all been blinded by the power of “free”.So whenever something is free,stop and consider the intention,and see “free” as a reason to do even more math.
1.What kind of motorcycle did the author’s friend intend to buy
A.A good second-hand one.
B.A previous year’s Hayabusa.
C.A highly fashionable XS-14R.
D.A powerful and comfortable one.
2.What aspect of the ZX-6R KRT attracted the author’s friend most
A.Its price.
B.The motorcycle’s 750cc engine.
C.Its free gift.
D.The motorcycle’s classical design.
3.Why does the author mention the 2017 study
A.To offer his friend a better purchase plan.
B.To stress the importance of negotiating skills.
C.To tell readers how to get more zero-price products.
D.To explain why his friend made such an unwise choice.
4.What does the text mainly talk about
A.It’s time to stop doing the math.
B.“Free” is sometimes the worst deal.
C.Getting something for free is so fun.
D.We all love to buy something on sale.
Passage 2
(2023江西赣州一模)
I saw the Swedish film adaptation (starred by Tobias Almborge and Anna-Lena Brudin) of Fredrik Backman’s incredibly funny,heartbreaking novel “A Man Called Ove”.Toward the end of that film,which was beautifully written and directed by Hannes Holm,there is a scene in which Ove,a widower(鳏夫) in his 60s,takes his neighbours out for a drive.As they ride together,the normally unfriendly and severe Ove sighs,allows himself a rare smile and says:“This is living.”
Most viewers probably didn’t give this little comment of Ove’s a second thought.For me,though,it marked the turning point of Ove’s search for renewed purpose in his life.
In Ove,Backman has created a character who at times can be unreasonable,stubborn and even downright rude—the sort of man whose shocking and morally unacceptable reactions to everyday situations become the subject of comic anecdotes that are retold countless times by enemies and friends alike.
Many of the people telling those stories don’t realize,though,that much of Ove’s strange behaviour is actually a symptom of his private heartache.Widowed,living alone and recently pushed into retirement,Ove is struggling at the outset of Backman’s story to find something worth living for,and his unwillingness to share with others what he is going through serves only to further separate him from the world.Ove’s situation reminds me of the isolation we all felt during the pandemic.I saw along with everyone else how quickly loneliness and isolation can influence harmony,driving people apart at a time when we need to connect to others the most.
Ove is just going on a drive with neighbours when he says,“This is living,” but I think he is feeling the way many of us did when the pandemic became less serious and we began to reconnect with the world.In that moment,Ove has started to find his new purpose just by allowing others back into his life and caring for them.
5.Who is the screenwriter of “A Man Called Ove”
A.Tobias Almborge. B.Anna-Lena Brudin.
C.Fredrik Backman. D.Hannes Holm.
6.What can we know about Ove
A.He was born with a bad temper.
B.He is popular with people around.
C.He has integrated himself into society.
D.He suffers from social anxiety disorder.
7.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A.Ove’s present living situation.
B.The influence of the pandemic.
C.The reasons behind Ove’s strange behaviour.
D.The importance of relationship with others.
8.What is this text
A.A diary entry. B.A movie review.
C.A book introduction. D.A short story.
Passage 3
(2023江西南昌二模)
Just as digital transformation improved many businesses and emerging technology,artificial intelligence (A.I.),and machine learning also have the potential to greatly improve operations in health care settings.Bringing in these changes is becoming increasingly popular for health care providers.
One company leading the automation revolution in health care is AKASA,a San Francisco-based developer of A.I.for health care operations.“American medicine may be the best in the world,but the health care system is still far behind because it has a complicated back-end system,” says AKASA’s chief executive officer and co-founder Malinka Walaliyadde.“We are simplifying and automating that system to make it a better experience for health care providers.”
For AKASA,the result has been an immediate improvement in both patient satisfaction and their organization’s revenues(收入).Methodist Health System in Omaha,for example,began working with AKASA to automate the non-value-added aspects within its revenue cycle.“Now,processes that used to take more than seven minutes to determine are down to just one minute,” says Jeff Francis,Methodist Health System’s chief financial officer and vice president of finance.“There has been a sharp increase in revenue,which is up by at least 1% to $3 billion.”
Walaliyadde credits AKASA’s impressive product offering and its amazing results to the devotion and unmatched expertise of its workforce.“We hire the best and the brightest in both the health care and technology worlds from around the country and give employees the resources to solve old problems in new ways.The more unique backgrounds we can bring to a project,the better equipped we’ll be to handle challenges with new and creative solutions,” Walaliyadde says.Even as AKASA strengthens its place in the health care technology field,Walaliyadde knows there are many more innovations to come.“We have made a large amount of progress already,” he says,“but there is so much more to do.”
9.What do we know about AKASA
A.Its revenue reaches $3 billion.
B.Its aim is to upgrade American health care.
C.Its headquarter is based in France.
D.Its employees are of similar backgrounds.
10.What can we infer from Jeff Francis’s words
A.He is impressed by AKASA’s service.
B.His company has increased its revenue.
C.His current system is facing challenges.
D.Value-added aspects are to be transformed.
11.What led to AKASA’s success according to Walaliyadde
A.Advanced digital technology.
B.Its simple corporate structure.
C.Joint efforts made by its skilled staff.
D.Diverse products offered by the company.
12.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.AKASA Pioneers A.I.Industry
B.AKASA Welcomes More Innovation
C.American Health Care Needs Talents
D.Automation Improves American Health Care
