A
Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home. Dad has a jade green comb. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say: “Help Daddy clean it, OK ” At age five this task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied with my job, I would proudly return it to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.
About two years later, Dad left his job and started his own business. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and our stable life started getting shaky. He didn’t come home as much as he used to. And when he did, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. I started to get mad. Why didn’t he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job Over the years, I stopped spending my nights with him.
Now 28, I’ve already got a job. Dad’s business has also started to be on track. Things are better. Yet the uncomfortable silence between us persisted.
Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. As I helped him carry his bags into his study, he said. “Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb It’s been a while: since I last cleaned it.” I looked at him a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.
As I cleaned the comb, it hit me then: why, as a child, helping my dad clean his comb was such a joy. That routine meant my dad was home early to spend the evening with Mum and I. It meant he would watch TV with us or playa few videogames with me. It meant a happy and loving family.
I pass the clean comb back to Dad. He looks at it and smiles. But this time, I notice something different. My dad has aged. He has wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiles, yet his smile is still heartwarming. The smile of a father who just wants a good life for his family.
Dad carefully places his comb on top of his wallet. The same old jade green comb. I guess some things never change. And for that, I’m glad.
1. As a child, how did the author feel about cleaning the comb
A. She did it in a casual way. B. She took it seriously.
C. She thought it burdensome. D. She understood the significance of it.
2. Why was the author unhappy with her father’s quitting his job
A. Her routine with her father changed.
B. Her father grew indifferent to mum and her.
C. Her father’s new business was not doing well.
D. Her mother was disappointed with his decisions.
3. What’s the turning point of the author’s attitude
A. The boom of her father’s new business.
B. The return of the former sweet happy nights
C. The realization of her father’s unchanged love.
D. The awareness of her father’s aging appearance.
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C
【解析】

(我把干净的梳子还给爸爸。他看着它笑了。但这一次，我注意到了一些不同的东西。我爸爸老了。当他微笑的时候，他的眼睛旁边有皱纹，但他的笑容仍然很温暖。一个只想让家人过上好日子的父亲的微笑。)”以及最后一段“Dad carefully places his comb on top of his wallet. The same old jade green comb. I guess some things never change. And for that, I’m glad. (爸爸小心翼翼地把梳子放在钱包上。还是那把古老的玉绿色梳子。我想有些事情永远不会改变。为此，我很高兴。)”可知，作者最后意识到了父亲对家庭和对自己不变的爱，从而改变了自己的态度。故选C项。
B
Many Chinese sports fans last month felt frustrated when the China women’s national football team failed to qualify for the Paris Olympic Games. There was the typical roller coaster of emotional reactions with the usual talking heads on social media shouting for the chief coach Shui Qingxia to be fired. Similarly, at the Hangzhou Asian Games, Chinese national team athlete Wu Yanni came under attack for having been disqualified because of a false start. Facing pressure, she had to post an open letter to deeply apologize to all her “friends.”
Strangely enough many of these armchair en tics and “friends” were the very people who had sung the praises of Shui’s and Wu’s performance not long ago. Unfortunately, this phenomenon of polarized thinking, also referred to as black-and-white thinking, is by no means unique to the world of competitive sports, where successes and failures can happen in an instant.
Polarized thinking occurs when emotions run high and people use the lower part of their brain. This was very useful in the early stages of human development when, back in the Stone Age, our ancestors were forced to categorize everything into either good or bad because they lived in constant fear of being attacked by larger animals. Their lives were always on the line. There was no time to consider the nuanced (微妙的) middle ground or to put themselves in other people’s shoes.
Since those old days are long gone, why do we still need to be so extreme in our thinking The consequences of giving into polarized thinking are dangerous. Adopting extreme positions can distort (歪曲) yourself-image and worldview (like judging yourself or other individuals based on a single event), both of which will lead to failure in life.
What if you were verbally (口头上地) attacked by those polarized types An effective way to deal with it is to apply the technique of summarization: “So what you’re saying is...Is that correct Could you be more specific ” This is a type of mental jujitsu (柔术), where you use the attacker’s energy and strength against themselves. Emotional people are not good at being specific, so if you calmly ask them for a detailed explanation of their position, their argument will often reach a dead end. By that time, just smile and tell them, “Thank you for sharing.”
4. Why are Shui and Wu mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To give examples of polarized thinking.
B. To show the harm of polarized thinking.
C. To present the topic of polarized thinking.
D. To describe the signs of polarized thinking.
5. What is the suggested technique to handle polarized types
A. Ask them to summarize your arguments.
B. Understand them and stay calm and polite.
C. Argue back using their energy and strength.
D. Request extra specifics to support their points.
6. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Origin of Polarized Thinking.
B. How to Think Beyond Black and White
C. Is the World Either Black or White
D. Polarized Thinking on Social Media.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了两极分化思维。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“Many Chinese sports fans last month felt frustrated when the China women’s national football team failed to qualify for the Paris Olympic Games. There was the typical roller coaster of emotional reactions with the usual talking heads on social media shouting for the chief coach Shui Qingxia to be fired. Similarly, at the Hangzhou Asian Games, Chinese national team athlete Wu Yanni came under attack for having been disqualified because of a false start. Facing pressure, she had to post an open letter to deeply apologize to all her “friends.” (上个月，当中国女足未能获得参加巴黎奥运会的资格时，许多中国体育迷感到沮丧。人们的情绪反应像过山车一样起伏不定，社交媒体上的一些名人大声疾呼，要求解雇主教练水庆霞。同样，在杭州亚运会上，中国国家队运动员吴燕妮因抢跑被取消资格而受到抨击。迫于压力，她不得不发表公开信，向所有“朋友”深表歉意。)”和第二段中“Unfortunately, this phenomenon of polarized thinking, also referred to as black-and-white thinking, is by no means unique to the world of competitive sports (不幸的是，这种两极分化的思维现象，也被称为黑白思维，绝不是竞技体育世界所独有的)”可知，第一段提到两人是为了提出两极分化思维的话题，接着文章围绕这种现象进行进一步的解释。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“What if you were verbally (口头上地) attacked by those polarized types An effective way to deal with it is to apply the technique of summarization: “So what you’re saying is... Is that correct Could you be more specific ” (如果你被那些两极分化的人口头攻击怎么办？一个有效的处理方法是运用总结的技巧：“所以你说的是……对吗？你能说得更具体一点吗？”)”可知，作者建议可以要求持有极化类型思想的人提供额外的细节来支持他们的观点。故选D。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段中“Unfortunately, this phenomenon of polarized thinking, also referred to as black-and-white thinking, is by no means unique to the world of competitive sports (不幸的是，这种两极分化的思维现象，也被称为黑白思维，绝不是竞技体育世界所独有的)”可知，第一段提出两极分化思维的话题，第二段进一步提出这种现象不限于体育方面，接着文章围绕这种现象进行进一步解释原因，进而进一步就如何超越黑白思维提出建议。故选项C“Is the World Either Black or White (世界是黑的还是白的？)”符合题意。故选C。
C
The planet is in trouble, and a gas-car ban just might help. But how will it affect you Cars are not small investments. They make a big impact on our wallets — but also on the environment. That’s why when California announced a gas-car ban in August arid other states suggested they’d follow suit, there was a mixed response. Sure, reducing our use of gas by choosing more eco-friendly cars could slow climate change and help everyone live more sustainably, not to mention save money on gas in the long run. But what would happen to people’s cars Would they have to buy an expensive new electric vehicle right now
Well, let’s set a few things straight first: This isn’t a full-on ban. People living in or visiting California will still be able to drive gas cars, as well as buy and register used internal combustion engines (ICE) vehicles, well after the law takes effect. But in a little over a decade, residents will not be allowed to register new gas-burning cars. It will take more than a decade for the ban to take effect fully — 2035, to be exact.
Why is California banning gas cars It’s all about the environment. More than half of California’s carbon pollution comes from the transportation sector, and eliminating ICE vehicles is a critical first step in, addressing the climate crisis. California has seen the impact of climate change firsthand in the form of natural disasters such as floods, mudslides, record-breaking droughts and extreme wildfires — all of which have increased in frequency and intensity in recent years.
However, new rules and laws can be fearsome, and hard to carry out at first. For example, electric vehicles (EVs) also don’t get as many miles per charge, making them difficult for long-distance trips and states with few charging stations. Related to that, the country needs more public charging stations. But, of course, the biggest barrier to more people getting excited about electric vehicles is price, which is currently higher than traditional vehicles due to their expensive batteries.
Still, Rauch is hopeful. “As someone who is focused on the health benefits of reducing pollution, I see the benefits as vastly outweighing the challenges,” she says. “At the end of the day, who doesn’t want their children and grandchildren to breathe clean air ”
7. What’s people’s attitude towards the gas-car ban
A. They were totally in different to it.
B. They held mixed opinions towards it.
C. They had a flood of complaints about it.
D. They thought highly of it and welcomed it.
8. Why did California decide to ban gas cars
A. To deal with the severe transportation problem.
B. To prevent natural disasters from happening.
C. To follow the example of other states with gas-car ban.
D. To ease the influence of serious climate change.
9. Which is NOT a possible disadvantage of EVs
A. Limited miles per charge. B. Limited charging stations.
C. Higher prices at present. D. More carbon pollution.
10. Where might this text be taken from
A. A magazine. B. A textbook. C. A biography. D. A research report.
【答案】7. B 8. D 9. D 10. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。地球正陷入困境，燃油汽车禁令可能会有所帮助。加利福尼亚州八月份宣布禁止燃油汽车，其他州也要效仿，但是人们的反应不一。文章主要介绍了加利福尼亚州实施这一禁令的原因以及执行该法规所面临的困难。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“That’s why when California announced a gas-car ban in August arid other states suggested they’d follow suit, there was a mixed response. (这就是为什么当加利福尼亚州八月份宣布禁止燃油汽车并且其他州建议他们要效仿时，人们的反应不一)”可知，人们对于汽油车禁令的态度不一。故选B。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Why is California banning gas cars It’s all about the environment. More than half of California’s carbon pollution comes from the transportation sector, and eliminating ICE vehicles is a critical first step in, addressing the climate crisis. (加州为何禁止燃油汽车？这都是关于环境的。加州一半以上的碳污染来自交通运输部门，消除内燃机汽车是解决气候危机的关键第一步)”可知，加州决定禁止燃油汽车是为了缓解严重的气候危机。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“For example, electric vehicles (EVs) also don’t get as many miles per charge, making them difficult for long-distance trips and states with few charging stations. Related to that, the country needs more public charging stations. But, of course, the biggest barrier to more people getting excited about electric vehicles is price, which is currently higher than traditional vehicles due to their expensive batteries.(例如，电动汽车 (EV) 每次充电行驶的里程数也较少，这使得它们难以进行长途旅行和充电站很少的州。与此相关的是，该国需要更多的公共充电站。但是，当然，让更多人对电动汽车感兴趣的最大障碍是价格，由于电池昂贵，目前电动汽车的价格高于传统汽车)”可知，电动汽车的缺点是每次充电的里程数有限，充电站有限，且目前价格较高。D项“更多碳污染。”不符合，故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“The planet is in trouble, and a gas-car ban just might help. But how will it affect you Cars are not small investments. They make a big impact on our wallets — but also on the environment. That’s why when California announced a gas-car ban in August arid other states suggested they’d follow suit, there was a mixed response. (地球正陷入困境，燃油汽车禁令可能会有所帮助。但它会对你产生什么影响呢？汽车不是一笔小投资。它们对我们的钱包产生巨大影响，同时也对环境产生巨大影响。这就是为什么当加利福尼亚州八月份宣布禁止燃油汽车并且其他州建议他们效仿时，人们的反应不一)”可知，地球正陷入困境，燃油汽车禁令可能会有所帮助。加利福尼亚州八月份宣布禁止燃油汽车，其他州也要效仿，但是人们的反应不一。文章主要介绍了加利福尼亚州实施这一禁令的原因以及执行该法规所面临的困难，这是介绍一项政策法规。由此推知，文章可能选自一本杂志。故选A。

Improving your family life can help make your family members closer and prevent conflicts from getting in the way of everyone’s happiness._____11_____Fortunately, there are lots of concrete steps you can take to make your time with your family more enjoyable and fulfilling.
Have meals together as often as possible.

After dinner, your youngest could wipe the table, your oldest could fill the dishwasher, and you could put away leftovers.
Avoid comparing your family to those you see on social media.
It can be easy to believe that because other people always look happy in their pictures and videos, they always feel that way._____14_____If you start to envy someone else’s family, just remind yourself that you don’t know what their life is really like, and they likely have family arguments and other issues just like everyone else. Remember, even if someone else’s family takes more vacations or has more expensive things, it doesn’t mean they’re any happier than you and your family are.
Avoid harsh criticism and judgments.
Give each other permission to express emotions and act silly without fear of criticism or judgment._____15_____If you’re a parent, offer positive, constructive criticism, and try to discourage your children from harshly judging each other.

A. Remember, every family needs to work to keep their relationships healthy and strong.
B. When people expect harsh judgment, they tend to bottle things up and avoid sharing their feelings.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章就如何让和家人在一起的时间更愉快、更充实提出建议。
【11题详解】
根据下文“Fortunately, there are lots of concrete steps you can take to make your time with your family more enjoyable and fulfilling. (幸运的是，有很多具体的措施可以让你和家人在一起的时间更愉快、更充实。)”中“Fortunately”可推知，上文中会提到处理家庭关系的难处，C项“However, navigating family relationships requires patience, understanding, and effective communication. (然而，驾驭家庭关系需要耐心、理解和有效的沟通。)”中提出驾驭家庭关系需要耐心、理解和有效的沟通，并不容易，所以下文中“there are lots of concrete steps you can take...”才是幸运的事情，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。
【12题详解】
上文“Parents work and kids have after-school activities, so it’s tough to have breakfast and dinner together every day. However, do your best to eat together as often as possible. (父母要工作，孩子们有课外活动，所以每天一起吃早餐和晚餐很难。但是，尽可能多地在一起吃饭。)”提出无论再忙，一家人都要尽可能多地在一起吃饭，D项“Family meals are a key routine that helps you stay involved in each other’s lives. (家庭聚餐是帮助你们融入彼此生活的关键日常)”承接上文，说明原因，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。
【13题详解】
下文“For instance, whoever finishes folding their laundry first might get to pick out the movie you’ll watch together. (例如，谁先叠好衣服，谁就可以选择你们一起看的电影。)”举例说明可以用来激励大家做家务的策略，是对F项“Try to make it as fun as possible, such as by playing music or having contests. (尽量让它变得有趣，比如播放音乐或举办比赛。)”中观点的具体阐述，句中“pick out the movie”与F项中“make it as fun as possible”相照应。故选F项。
【14题详解】
根据小标题“Avoid comparing your family to those you see on social media. (避免将你的家人与你在社交媒体上看到的人进行比较。)”和上文“It can be easy to believe that because other people always look happy in their pictures and videos, they always feel that way. (人们很容易轻信，因为其他人在照片和视频中总是看起来很开心，他们总是这样觉得。)”可推知，看到别人在社交媒体中的幸福生活容易让人羡慕，但本段建议要避免将你的家人与你在社交媒体上看到的人进行比较，A项“Remember, every family needs to work to keep their relationships healthy and strong. (记住，每个家庭成员都需要努力保持他们的关系健康和牢固。)”解释了原因：家庭成员需要去维系健康和牢固的关系，而不是去羡慕和嫉妒别人，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。
【15题详解】
上文“Give each other permission to express emotions and act silly without fear of criticism or judgment. (允许对方表达自己的情感，做出愚蠢的举动，而不用担心受到批评或评判。)”提出要允许家人表达情感和做出愚蠢的举动，不要去批评或评判，B项“When people expect harsh judgment, they tend to bottle things up and avoid sharing their feelings. (当人们预计将得到严厉的评判时，他们倾向于把事情藏起来，避免分享自己的感受。)”说明了不要批评或评判的原因，照应小标题“Avoid harsh criticism and judgments. (避免严厉的批评和评判)”。故选B项。

A
Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home. Dad has a jade green comb. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say: “Help Daddy clean it, OK ” At age five this task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied with my job, I would proudly return it to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.
About two years later, Dad left his job and started his own business. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and our stable life started getting shaky. He didn’t come home as much as he used to. And when he did, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. I started to get mad. Why didn’t he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job Over the years, I stopped spending my nights with him.
Now 28, I’ve already got a job. Dad’s business has also started to be on track. Things are better. Yet the uncomfortable silence between us persisted.
Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. As I helped him carry his bags into his study, he said. “Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb It’s been a while: since I last cleaned it.” I looked at him a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.
As I cleaned the comb, it hit me then: why, as a child, helping my dad clean his comb was such a joy. That routine meant my dad was home early to spend the evening with Mum and I. It meant he would watch TV with us or playa few videogames with me. It meant a happy and loving family.
I pass the clean comb back to Dad. He looks at it and smiles. But this time, I notice something different. My dad has aged. He has wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiles, yet his smile is still heartwarming. The smile of a father who just wants a good life for his family.
Dad carefully places his comb on top of his wallet. The same old jade green comb. I guess some things never change. And for that, I’m glad.

Many Chinese sports fans last month felt frustrated when the China women’s national football team failed to qualify for the Paris Olympic Games. There was the typical roller coaster of emotional reactions with the usual talking heads on social media shouting for the chief coach Shui Qingxia to be fired. Similarly, at the Hangzhou Asian Games, Chinese national team athlete Wu Yanni came under attack for having been disqualified because of a false start. Facing pressure, she had to post an open letter to deeply apologize to all her “friends.”
Strangely enough, many of these armchair en tics and “friends” were the very people who had sung the praises of Shui’s and Wu’s performance not long ago. Unfortunately, this phenomenon of polarized thinking, also referred to as black-and-white thinking, is by no means unique to the world of competitive sports, where successes and failures can happen in an instant.
Polarized thinking occurs when emotions run high and people use the lower part of their brain. This was very useful in the early stages of human development when, back in the Stone Age, our ancestors were forced to categorize everything into either good or bad because they lived in constant fear of being attacked by larger animals. Their lives were always on the line. There was no time to consider the nuanced (微妙的) middle ground or to put themselves in other people’s shoes.
Since those old days are long gone, why do we still need to be so extreme in our thinking The consequences of giving into polarized thinking are dangerous. Adopting extreme positions can distort (歪曲) yourself-image and worldview (like judging yourself or other individuals based on a single event), both of which will lead to failure in life.
What if you were verbally (口头上地) attacked by those polarized types An effective way to deal with it is to apply the technique of summarization: “So what you’re saying is...Is that correct Could you be more specific ” This is a type of mental jujitsu (柔术), where you use the attacker’s energy and strength against themselves. Emotional people are not good at being specific, so if you calmly ask them for a detailed explanation of their position, their argument will often reach a dead end. By that time, just smile and tell them, “Thank you for sharing.”
4. Why are Shui and Wu mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To give examples of polarized thinking.
B. To show the harm of polarized thinking.
C. To present the topic of polarized thinking.
D. To describe the signs of polarized thinking.
5. What is the suggested technique to handle polarized types
A. Ask them to summarize your arguments.
B. Understand them and stay calm and polite.
C Argue back using their energy and strength.
D. Request extra specifics to support their points.
6. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Origin of Polarized Thinking.
B. How to Think Beyond Black and White
C. Is the World Either Black or White
D. Polarized Thinking on Social Media.
C
The planet is in trouble, and a gas-car ban just might help. But how will it affect you Cars are not small investments. They make a big impact on our wallets — but also on the environment. That’s why when California announced a gas-car ban in August arid other states suggested they’d follow suit, there was a mixed response. Sure, reducing our use of gas by choosing more eco-friendly cars could slow climate change and help everyone live more sustainably, not to mention save money on gas in the long run. But what would happen to people’s cars Would they have to buy an expensive new electric vehicle right now
Well, let’s set a few things straight first: This isn’t a full-on ban. People living in or visiting California will still be able to drive gas cars, as well as buy and register used internal combustion engines (ICE) vehicles, well after the law takes effect. But in a little over a decade, residents will not be allowed to register new gas-burning cars. It will take more than a decade for the ban to take effect fully — 2035, to be exact.
Why is California banning gas cars It’s all about the environment. More than half of California’s carbon pollution comes from the transportation sector, and eliminating ICE vehicles is a critical first step in, addressing the climate crisis. California has seen the impact of climate change firsthand in the form of natural disasters such as floods, mudslides, record-breaking droughts and extreme wildfires — all of which have increased in frequency and intensity in recent years.
However, new rules and laws can be fearsome, and hard to carry out at first. For example, electric vehicles (EVs) also don’t get as many miles per charge, making them difficult for long-distance trips and states with few charging stations. Related to that, the country needs more public charging stations. But, of course, the biggest barrier to more people getting excited about electric vehicles is price, which is currently higher than traditional vehicles due to their expensive batteries.
Still, Rauch is hopeful. “As someone who is focused on the health benefits of reducing pollution, I see the benefits as vastly outweighing the challenges,” she says. “At the end of the day, who doesn’t want their children and grandchildren to breathe clean air ”
7. What’s people’s attitude towards the gas-car ban
A. They were totally in different to it.
B. They held mixed opinions towards it.
C. They had a flood of complaints about it.
D. They thought highly of it and welcomed it.
8. Why did California decide to ban gas cars
A. To deal with the severe transportation problem.
B. To prevent natural disasters from happening.
C. To follow the example of other states with gas-car ban.
D To ease the influence of serious climate change.
9. Which is NOT a possible disadvantage of EVs
A. Limited miles per charge. B. Limited charging stations.
C. Higher prices at present. D. More carbon pollution.
10. Where might this text be taken from
A. A magazine. B. A textbook. C. A biography. D. A research report.

Remember, even if someone else’s family takes more vacations or has more expensive things, it doesn’t mean they’re any happier than you and your family are.
Avoid harsh criticism and judgments.
Give each other permission to express emotions and act silly without fear of criticism or judgment._____15_____If you’re a parent, offer positive, constructive criticism, and try to discourage your children from harshly judging each other.
