（2024高二下·重庆市月考） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
When I saw the documentary ADHD (多动症): Not Just for Kids, I was in tears after 20 minutes — the stories being told sounded much like my own. I'm in my 40s, I had read everything there was in health and science and I had no idea that the symptoms (症状) I had experienced all of my life were anything but normal. How had I missed this I called the doctor to get assessed. I must have sounded desperate on the phone; they took me right away.
Later, I researched everything I could about ADHD. It became clear that my misunderstanding and ignorance about the disorder had misled me. A million thoughts, a million regrets. Finally, I told myself I couldn't change the past, but I could share the fact that ADHD can look much different from the super active child practicing back flips (后空翻) off of a chair.
As for me, things went another way around: I was a young girl, quietly sitting at my school desk, pretending to listen to the teacher. Meanwhile, I was watching and drawing the bird that landed in the tree outside. And I was rereading entire chapters of my textbooks and taking extensive notes because I couldn't remember what I had just read because I was thinking of the bird I had seen earlier.
Later in life, I'd sit at the kitchen table, staring out the window. There's no telling how long it will take. Thoughts rush in from yesterday, today and tomorrow. I need to make dinner, take the dog for a walk, the kids will be home soon... But I can't move. I know that I should, but I can't. Afterward, I berate myself, unable to understand why I didn't get up, why I wasted so much precious time, so much of my life doing nothing, it seems.
Since being treated, I have an inner calmness that is new to me. Medication doesn't organize my day; it doesn't remind me to pick up the kids or walk the dog. However, it allows me to move when I've been staring out the window for too long.
24．What did the author learn from the documentary
A．She might have been an ADHD patient.
B．She was wrongly assessed by many doctors.
C．She had never experienced any symptom of ADH
D．D. She was a very problematic child during school years.
25．Why does the author share her early experiences in paragraphs 3-4
A．To offer possible causes of ADHD.
B．To make it clear how ADHD develops
C．To show ADHD has more than one form.
D．To describe ADHD symptoms in children.
26．What does the underlined word "berate" mean in paragraph 4
A．adjust. B．blame. C．push. D．challenge.
27．How has the treatment affected the author
A．She has learned some basic life skills.
B．She has allowed herself more free time.
C．She has become motivated to take action.
D．She has developed more patience with her kids.
【答案】24．A
25．C
26．B
27．C
【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；故事阅读类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一位40多岁的女士在看完关于多动症的纪录片后，对自己过去生活的反思和自白。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。
24．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"When I saw the documentary ADHD (多动症): Not Just for Kids, I was in tears after 20 minutes — the stories being told sounded much like my own."当我看纪录片《多动症：不只是孩子的》时，我看了20分钟就哭了——里面讲的故事听起来很像我自己的故事。可知，作者发现纪录片中关于多动症的故事和自己的经历很相似，通过纪录片她发现自己可能是多动症患者。故选A。
25．考查推理判断。第二段中的"Finally, I told myself I couldn't change the past, but I could share the fact that ADHD can look much different from the super active child practicing back flips (后空翻) off of a chair."最后，我告诉自己，我无法改变过去，但我可以分享这样一个事实：多动症与超级活跃的孩子在椅子上练习后空翻有很大的不同。作者提出自己对多动症的认知：多动症与超级活跃的孩子在椅子上练习后空翻有很大的不同；第三段中的"As for me, things went another way around: I was a young girl, quietly sitting at my school desk, pretending to listen to the teacher..."对我来说，情况正好相反:我是一个小女孩，静静地坐在课桌前，假装在听老师讲课……；以及第四段中的"Later in life, I'd sit at the kitchen table, staring out the window. There's no telling how long it will take. Thoughts rush in from yesterday, today and tomorrow... "后来，我坐在厨房的桌子旁，凝视着窗外。不知道要花多长时间。思绪从昨天、今天和明天涌来……。用自己的经历来说明多动症除了"超级活跃"外，还有其它形式。所以作者在第3、4段中分享了她早期的经历是为了表明多动症不止一种形式。故选C。
26．考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的"I need to make dinner, take the dog for a walk, the kids will be home soon... But I can't move. I know that I should, but I can't."我要做晚饭，遛狗，孩子们很快就会回家……但是我动不了。我知道我应该这么做，但我做不到)"可知，在生活中，作者总是无法去做自己想做的事情，身体不受自己控制；以及"Afterward, I berate myself, unable to understand why I didn't get up, why I wasted so much precious time, so much of my life doing nothing, it seems."后来，我berate自己，不明白为什么我没有起床，为什么我浪费了这么多宝贵的时间，为什么我的生命中这么多的时间似乎什么都没做，可推知，作者对于自己的这种无能充满自责。因此berate是"责备"之意。故选B。
27．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的"Since being treated, I have an inner calmness that is new to me. Medication doesn't organize my day; it doesn't remind me to pick up the kids or walk the dog. However, it allows me to move when I've been staring out the window for too long."自从接受治疗以来，我内心的平静对我来说是前所未有的。药物不能安排我的一天；它不会提醒我去接孩子或遛狗。然而，当我盯着窗外看太久的时候，它可以让我动起来。可知，治疗让作者有了采取行动的动力。故选C。
（2024高二下·重庆市月考） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
In general, the society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and "human-relations" experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it. In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.
The worker and employee are anxious, seemingly because they might find themselves out of a job or they would say that they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. In fact, they feel desperate as they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.
Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence. From the moment on they are tested again and again by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one's fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting a return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century "free enterprise" capitalism Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming the social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities — those of all love and of reason — are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.
28．By "a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery", the author expresses the idea that man is ____.
A．an essential part of society with irreplaceable functions
B．expected to work in reasonable harmony with the rest of society
C．an unimportant component of society, though functioning smoothly
D．responsible for the smooth running of society and business operations
29．The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that ____.
A．they are filled with an overwhelming fear of being unemployed
B．they don't have any genuine satisfaction or interest
C．they have to face the fundamental realities of human existence
D．they lack a sense of independence and productivity
30．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "submissiveness"
A．caution B．obedience C．commitment D．optimism
31．What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A．To introduce the production mode of our ancestors.
B．To show the problematic situation in society.
C．To argue for full development of human potentials.
D．To help people escape production and consumption.
【答案】28．C
29．D
30．B
31．C
【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；社会现象类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，探讨了现代社会中工人、雇员以及社会阶层较高者的焦虑和不满情绪，呼吁转变社会制度，充分开发人类潜能，使生产和消费成为实现人的全面发展的手段。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇社会现象类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
28．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"In general, the society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and "human-relations" experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it."总的来说，社会正在变成一个由官僚管理层管理的巨型企业，在这个企业中，人变成了机器中一个小小的、运转良好的齿轮。给齿轮"加油"是通过更高的工资、设备精良的工厂和管弦乐，以及心理学家和"人际关系"专家完成的；以及"In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management."事实上，蓝领工人和白领工人已经成为经济的傀儡，随着自动化机器和官僚管理的曲调起舞。可推知，作者认为人只是机器中一个小小的、运转良好的齿轮，是经济的傀儡，受到自动化机器和官僚管理的支配，虽然运行平稳，但并不重要。故选C。
29．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"In fact, they feel desperate as they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings."事实上，他们感到绝望是因为他们从来没有作为情感和智力上独立的和有生产力的人去面对人类生存的基本现实。可知，工人和雇员焦虑的真正原因是他们缺乏独立意识和生产力。故选D。
30．考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的"When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence."当他们申请第一份工作时，他们接受智力测试，以及是否能把submissiveness和独立正确地结合起来的测试。可知，句中谈论的是对应聘者的相关测试。结合划线词前"the right mixture..."和其后"independence"可推知，submissiveness与independence"独立"是应聘者需要兼有的两种 特质，应聘者在两者之间需要找到平衡点。可推知，submissiveness与obedience同义，意为"服从"，与independence(独立)意思相对。故选B。
31．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"I suggest transforming the social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities — those of all love and of reason — are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man."我建议将社会制度从以最大限度生产和消费为目的的官僚管理的工业主义转变为以人及其潜能——所有爱和理性的潜能——的充分发展为社会安排目标的人道主义工业主义。生产和消费应该作为达到这一目的的手段，而不应该支配人。可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是主张充分开发人类潜能。故选C。
（2024高二下·重庆市月考） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Imagine you need milk, so you go to the grocery store to pick some up, only to find there are dozens of options. These days, you have to make a decision on not only the percentage of fat you want, but also what source you want your milk to be coming from: cows, soybeans... You have no idea what milk to pick. There are so many choices that you are confused.
This phenomenon is known as the paradox (悖论) of choice and it is becoming a concern in the modern world, where more and more options are becoming easily available to us. While we might believe that being presented with multiple options actually makes it easier to choose one that we are happy with, and thus increases consumer satisfaction, having too many options actually requires more effort to make a decision and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice.
The idea was popularized by American psychologist Barry Schwartz when he published his book, The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less. Schwartz, who has long studied the ways in which economics and psychology intersect (交叉), became interested in seeing the way that choices were affecting the happiness of citizens in Western societies. He identified that the range of choices that we have available to us these days is far greater than that people had in the past; however, consumer satisfaction has not increased as much as traditional economics theories might expect.
Schwartz identified that the paradox of choice carries the most consequence for people that are maximizers. Maximizers, unlike satisficers, are concerned with making the best choice instead of simply making a choice that they are happy with. When there are many options available to maximizers, it becomes harder for them to determine which is the best, which can cause them to feel a great deal of regret after they have made a choice.
Instead of believing that freedom of choice is unlimited, Schwartz advocates that the role of psychology and behavioral economics should be to find the kind of limitations on freedom that can lead to the greatest level of happiness within society.
32．What's the author's purpose in mentioning buying milk in paragraph 1
A．To lead in the topic.
B．To draw a conclusion.
C．To show that we have more choices when shopping.
D．To indicate that people pay greater attention to health when shopping.
33．What does the paradox of choice suggest
A．More options mean less satisfaction.
B．Consumer satisfaction has greatly increased.
C．People are happy with more choices.
D．Modern people are happier than their ancestors.
34．What can be learned about satisficers
A．They aim for the very best.
B．They tend to follow their feelings.
C．They often regret their decisions.
D．They have trouble making a decision.
35．What does Schwartz suggest people do
A．Hold on to their beliefs. B．Accept their own behavior.
C．Give up freedom. D．Limit their own choices.
【答案】32．A
33．A
34．B
35．D
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；社会现象类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，介绍了"选择悖论"这一现象，即过多的选择会让人们感到困惑和不满，从而降低消费者的满意度。同时介绍了"最大化者"和"满足者"的区别，以及心理学和行为经济学在解决这一问题中的作用。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇社会现象类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
32．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"Imagine you need milk, so you go to the grocery store to pick some up, only to find there are dozens of options. "想象一下，你需要牛奶，所以你去杂货店买了一些，却发现有几十种选择；以及"You have no idea what milk to pick. There are so many choices that you are confused."你不知道该选什么牛奶。有太多的选择让你感到困惑。可知，购物时牛奶品类众多，以至于很难做出决策。是下文"选择的悖论"这一现象的一个案例。可推知，文章第一段提到买牛奶就是为了引出文章的话题。故选A。
33．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"While we might believe that being presented with multiple options actually makes it easier to choose one that we are happy with, and thus increases consumer satisfaction, having too many options actually requires more effort to make a decision and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice."虽然我们可能认为，提供多种选择实际上会让我们更容易选择一种我们满意的选择，从而提高消费者满意度，选择太多实际上需要付出更多的努力才能做出决定，这会让我们对自己的选择感到不满意。可知，选择太多实际上需要付出更多的努力才能做出决定，这会让我们对自己的选择感到不满意。可推知，更多的选择意味着更少的满足感。故选A。
34．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"Maximizers, unlike satisficers, are concerned with making the best choice instead of simply making a choice that they are happy with. "与满足者不同，最大化者关心的是做出最好的选择，而不是简单地做出他们满意的选择。可推知，满足者跟随自己的感觉，不纠结于必须做出"最好的"决定。故选B。
35．考查细节理解。根据最后一段"Instead of believing that freedom of choice is unlimited, Schwartz advocates that the role of psychology and behavioral economics should be to find the kind of limitations on freedom that can lead to the greatest level of happiness within society"施瓦茨不认为选择的自由是无限的，而是主张心理学和行为经济学的作用应该是找到对自由的限制，从而在社会中获得最大程度的幸福。可知，施瓦茨建议人们限制自己的选择。故选D。

In the coming era of budget cuts to education, distance learning could become the norm.
The temptation for those in charge of education budgets to trade teachers 56． technology could be so strong that they ignore the disadvantages of distance learning. School facilities are expensive 57． (build). Online classes do not require buildings and each class can host hundreds of people at the same time, 58． (result) in greater savings. But moving away from a traditional classroom 59． a living, breathing human being teaches and interacts with students daily is a disaster. 60． (physical) attending school has hidden benefits: getting up 61． (early), interacting more with peers, and building better relationships with teachers. Moreover, schools should be more than simple institutions of traditional learning. They are places where students 62． (offer) counseling(咨询) and other support.
Those policy-makers are often fascinated by the latest technology in education and its potential to transform education overnight. 63． , online education does not allow a teacher to keep a struggling student after class and offer help. Educational videos are unable to make eye contact or assess a student's level of 64． (engage). Given these expectations, schools should not become permanently "remote". Technology, however 65． (advance), should simply be a tool of a good teacher.

57．句意：学校设施的建造很昂贵。"be adj.+to do"为固定结构，空处需填动词不定式，故填to build。
58．句意：在线课程不需要建筑，每个课程可以同时容纳数百人，从而节省了更多的费用。此处作结果状语，result和前面的句子为逻辑主谓关系，应用现在分词，故填resulting。
59．句意：但是，从一个活生生的、会呼吸的人每天教导学生并与学生互动的传统课堂中脱离出来，是一场灾难。 a living, breathing human being teaches and interacts with students daily is a disaster是限制性定语从句，先行词a traditional classroom，在定语从句中作地点状语，需用关系副词where引导，故填where。

64．句意：教育视频无法提供眼神交流，也无法评估学生的参与度。此处作宾语，应用名词"engagement"参与，故填engagement。
65．句意：技术，无论多么先进，都应该是一个好老师的工具。however引导的让步状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致，可以省略从句的主语和be动词，完整的从句是however it is advanced，省略it is，空处需填形容词advanced作表语，故填advanced。

An extra day off unsuited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily.
"How was school, Kayla " asked her mom.
"It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday."
"You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh " asked Kayla's mom with a laugh.
Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. I trained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing videogames inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours.
Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn't believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped here yes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.

When I saw the documentary ADHD (多动症): Not Just for Kids, I was in tears after 20 minutes — the stories being told sounded much like my own. I'm in my 40s, I had read everything there was in health and science and I had no idea that the symptoms (症状) I had experienced all of my life were anything but normal. How had I missed this I called the doctor to get assessed. I must have sounded desperate on the phone; they took me right away.
Later, I researched everything I could about ADHD. It became clear that my misunderstanding and ignorance about the disorder had misled me. A million thoughts, a million regrets. Finally, I told myself I couldn't change the past, but I could share the fact that ADHD can look much different from the super active child practicing back flips (后空翻) off of a chair.
As for me, things went another way around: I was a young girl, quietly sitting at my school desk, pretending to listen to the teacher. Meanwhile, I was watching and drawing the bird that landed in the tree outside. And I was rereading entire chapters of my textbooks and taking extensive notes because I couldn't remember what I had just read because I was thinking of the bird I had seen earlier.
Later in life, I'd sit at the kitchen table, staring out the window. There's no telling how long it will take. Thoughts rush in from yesterday, today and tomorrow. I need to make dinner, take the dog for a walk, the kids will be home soon... But I can't move. I know that I should, but I can't. Afterward, I berate myself, unable to understand why I didn't get up, why I wasted so much precious time, so much of my life doing nothing, it seems.
Since being treated, I have an inner calmness that is new to me. Medication doesn't organize my day; it doesn't remind me to pick up the kids or walk the dog. However, it allows me to move when I've been staring out the window for too long.
24．What did the author learn from the documentary
A．She might have been an ADHD patient.
B．She was wrongly assessed by many doctors.

In general, the society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and "human-relations" experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it. In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.
The worker and employee are anxious, seemingly because they might find themselves out of a job or they would say that they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. In fact, they feel desperate as they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.
Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence. From the moment on they are tested again and again by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one's fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting a return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century "free enterprise" capitalism Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming the social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities — those of all love and of reason — are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.
28．By "a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery", the author expresses the idea that man is ____.
A．an essential part of society with irreplaceable functions
B．expected to work in reasonable harmony with the rest of society
C．an unimportant component of society, though functioning smoothly
D．responsible for the smooth running of society and business operations
29．The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that ____.
A．they are filled with an overwhelming fear of being unemployed
B．they don't have any genuine satisfaction or interest
C．they have to face the fundamental realities of human existence
D．they lack a sense of independence and productivity
30．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "submissiveness"
A．caution B．obedience C．commitment D．optimism
31．What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A．To introduce the production mode of our ancestors.
B．To show the problematic situation in society.
C．To argue for full development of human potentials.
D．To help people escape production and consumption.
（2024高二下·重庆市月考） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Imagine you need milk, so you go to the grocery store to pick some up, only to find there are dozens of options. These days, you have to make a decision on not only the percentage of fat you want, but also what source you want your milk to be coming from: cows, soybeans... You have no idea what milk to pick. There are so many choices that you are confused.
This phenomenon is known as the paradox (悖论) of choice and it is becoming a concern in the modern world, where more and more options are becoming easily available to us. While we might believe that being presented with multiple options actually makes it easier to choose one that we are happy with, and thus increases consumer satisfaction, having too many options actually requires more effort to make a decision and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice.
The idea was popularized by American psychologist Barry Schwartz when he published his book, The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less. Schwartz, who has long studied the ways in which economics and psychology intersect (交叉), became interested in seeing the way that choices were affecting the happiness of citizens in Western societies. He identified that the range of choices that we have available to us these days is far greater than that people had in the past; however, consumer satisfaction has not increased as much as traditional economics theories might expect.
Schwartz identified that the paradox of choice carries the most consequence for people that are maximizers. Maximizers, unlike satisficers, are concerned with making the best choice instead of simply making a choice that they are happy with. When there are many options available to maximizers, it becomes harder for them to determine which is the best, which can cause them to feel a great deal of regret after they have made a choice.
Instead of believing that freedom of choice is unlimited, Schwartz advocates that the role of psychology and behavioral economics should be to find the kind of limitations on freedom that can lead to the greatest level of happiness within society.
32．What's the author's purpose in mentioning buying milk in paragraph 1
A．To lead in the topic.
B．To draw a conclusion.
C．To show that we have more choices when shopping.
D．To indicate that people pay greater attention to health when shopping.
33．What does the paradox of choice suggest
A．More options mean less satisfaction.
B．Consumer satisfaction has greatly increased.
C．People are happy with more choices.
D．Modern people are happier than their ancestors.
34．What can be learned about satisficers
A．They aim for the very best.
B．They tend to follow their feelings.
C．They often regret their decisions.
D．They have trouble making a decision.
35．What does Schwartz suggest people do
A．Hold on to their beliefs. B．Accept their own behavior.
C．Give up freedom. D．Limit their own choices.

【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；故事阅读类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一位40多岁的女士在看完关于多动症的纪录片后，对自己过去生活的反思和自白。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。
24．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"When I saw the documentary ADHD (多动症): Not Just for Kids, I was in tears after 20 minutes — the stories being told sounded much like my own."当我看纪录片《多动症：不只是孩子的》时，我看了20分钟就哭了——里面讲的故事听起来很像我自己的故事。可知，作者发现纪录片中关于多动症的故事和自己的经历很相似，通过纪录片她发现自己可能是多动症患者。故选A。
25．考查推理判断。第二段中的"Finally, I told myself I couldn't change the past, but I could share the fact that ADHD can look much different from the super active child practicing back flips (后空翻) off of a chair."最后，我告诉自己，我无法改变过去，但我可以分享这样一个事实：多动症与超级活跃的孩子在椅子上练习后空翻有很大的不同。作者提出自己对多动症的认知：多动症与超级活跃的孩子在椅子上练习后空翻有很大的不同；第三段中的"As for me, things went another way around: I was a young girl, quietly sitting at my school desk, pretending to listen to the teacher..."对我来说，情况正好相反:我是一个小女孩，静静地坐在课桌前，假装在听老师讲课……；以及第四段中的"Later in life, I'd sit at the kitchen table, staring out the window. There's no telling how long it will take. Thoughts rush in from yesterday, today and tomorrow... "后来，我坐在厨房的桌子旁，凝视着窗外。不知道要花多长时间。思绪从昨天、今天和明天涌来……。用自己的经历来说明多动症除了"超级活跃"外，还有其它形式。所以作者在第3、4段中分享了她早期的经历是为了表明多动症不止一种形式。故选C。
26．考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的"I need to make dinner, take the dog for a walk, the kids will be home soon... But I can't move. I know that I should, but I can't."我要做晚饭，遛狗，孩子们很快就会回家……但是我动不了。我知道我应该这么做，但我做不到)"可知，在生活中，作者总是无法去做自己想做的事情，身体不受自己控制；以及"Afterward, I berate myself, unable to understand why I didn't get up, why I wasted so much precious time, so much of my life doing nothing, it seems."后来，我berate自己，不明白为什么我没有起床，为什么我浪费了这么多宝贵的时间，为什么我的生命中这么多的时间似乎什么都没做，可推知，作者对于自己的这种无能充满自责。因此berate是"责备"之意。故选B。
27．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的"Since being treated, I have an inner calmness that is new to me. Medication doesn't organize my day; it doesn't remind me to pick up the kids or walk the dog. However, it allows me to move when I've been staring out the window for too long."自从接受治疗以来，我内心的平静对我来说是前所未有的。药物不能安排我的一天；它不会提醒我去接孩子或遛狗。然而，当我盯着窗外看太久的时候，它可以让我动起来。可知，治疗让作者有了采取行动的动力。故选C。

【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；社会现象类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，探讨了现代社会中工人、雇员以及社会阶层较高者的焦虑和不满情绪，呼吁转变社会制度，充分开发人类潜能，使生产和消费成为实现人的全面发展的手段。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇社会现象类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
28．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"In general, the society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and "human-relations" experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it."总的来说，社会正在变成一个由官僚管理层管理的巨型企业，在这个企业中，人变成了机器中一个小小的、运转良好的齿轮。给齿轮"加油"是通过更高的工资、设备精良的工厂和管弦乐，以及心理学家和"人际关系"专家完成的；以及"In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management."事实上，蓝领工人和白领工人已经成为经济的傀儡，随着自动化机器和官僚管理的曲调起舞。可推知，作者认为人只是机器中一个小小的、运转良好的齿轮，是经济的傀儡，受到自动化机器和官僚管理的支配，虽然运行平稳，但并不重要。故选C。
29．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"In fact, they feel desperate as they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings."事实上，他们感到绝望是因为他们从来没有作为情感和智力上独立的和有生产力的人去面对人类生存的基本现实。可知，工人和雇员焦虑的真正原因是他们缺乏独立意识和生产力。故选D。
30．考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的"When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence."当他们申请第一份工作时，他们接受智力测试，以及是否能把submissiveness和独立正确地结合起来的测试。可知，句中谈论的是对应聘者的相关测试。结合划线词前"the right mixture..."和其后"independence"可推知，submissiveness与independence"独立"是应聘者需要兼有的两种 特质，应聘者在两者之间需要找到平衡点。可推知，submissiveness与obedience同义，意为"服从"，与independence(独立)意思相对。故选B。
31．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"I suggest transforming the social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities — those of all love and of reason — are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man."我建议将社会制度从以最大限度生产和消费为目的的官僚管理的工业主义转变为以人及其潜能——所有爱和理性的潜能——的充分发展为社会安排目标的人道主义工业主义。生产和消费应该作为达到这一目的的手段，而不应该支配人。可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是主张充分开发人类潜能。故选C。
【答案】32．A
33．A
34．B
35．D
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；社会现象类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，介绍了"选择悖论"这一现象，即过多的选择会让人们感到困惑和不满，从而降低消费者的满意度。同时介绍了"最大化者"和"满足者"的区别，以及心理学和行为经济学在解决这一问题中的作用。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇社会现象类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
32．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"Imagine you need milk, so you go to the grocery store to pick some up, only to find there are dozens of options. "想象一下，你需要牛奶，所以你去杂货店买了一些，却发现有几十种选择；以及"You have no idea what milk to pick. There are so many choices that you are confused."你不知道该选什么牛奶。有太多的选择让你感到困惑。可知，购物时牛奶品类众多，以至于很难做出决策。是下文"选择的悖论"这一现象的一个案例。可推知，文章第一段提到买牛奶就是为了引出文章的话题。故选A。
33．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"While we might believe that being presented with multiple options actually makes it easier to choose one that we are happy with, and thus increases consumer satisfaction, having too many options actually requires more effort to make a decision and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice."虽然我们可能认为，提供多种选择实际上会让我们更容易选择一种我们满意的选择，从而提高消费者满意度，选择太多实际上需要付出更多的努力才能做出决定，这会让我们对自己的选择感到不满意。可知，选择太多实际上需要付出更多的努力才能做出决定，这会让我们对自己的选择感到不满意。可推知，更多的选择意味着更少的满足感。故选A。
34．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"Maximizers, unlike satisficers, are concerned with making the best choice instead of simply making a choice that they are happy with. "与满足者不同，最大化者关心的是做出最好的选择，而不是简单地做出他们满意的选择。可推知，满足者跟随自己的感觉，不纠结于必须做出"最好的"决定。故选B。
35．考查细节理解。根据最后一段"Instead of believing that freedom of choice is unlimited, Schwartz advocates that the role of psychology and behavioral economics should be to find the kind of limitations on freedom that can lead to the greatest level of happiness within society"施瓦茨不认为选择的自由是无限的，而是主张心理学和行为经济学的作用应该是找到对自由的限制，从而在社会中获得最大程度的幸福。可知，施瓦茨建议人们限制自己的选择。故选D。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，在即将到来的教育预算削减时代，远程学习可能成为常态。然而，在线课程也有很多不足之处。
【点评】考查语法填空，本题考点涉及介词，非谓语动词，定语从句，副词，时态语态，主谓一致，名词，形容词以及固定搭配等多个知识点的考查，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。
56．句意：对于那些负责教育预算的人来说，用技术取代教师的诱惑可能是如此强烈，以至于他们忽视了远程教育的缺点。trade…for…固定短语，"用……取代……"，故填for。
57．句意：学校设施的建造很昂贵。"be adj.+to do"为固定结构，空处需填动词不定式，故填to build。
58．句意：在线课程不需要建筑，每个课程可以同时容纳数百人，从而节省了更多的费用。此处作结果状语，result和前面的句子为逻辑主谓关系，应用现在分词，故填resulting。
59．句意：但是，从一个活生生的、会呼吸的人每天教导学生并与学生互动的传统课堂中脱离出来，是一场灾难。 a living, breathing human being teaches and interacts with students daily is a disaster是限制性定语从句，先行词a traditional classroom，在定语从句中作地点状语，需用关系副词where引导，故填where。

63．句意：然而，在线教育不允许老师在课后留下一个有困难的学生并提供帮助。上文提到"这些政策制定者常常被最新的教育技术及其在一夜之间改变教育的潜力所吸引"，下文提到"在线教育不允许老师在课后留下一个有困难的学生并提供帮助"，上下文之间为转折关系，此处需填副词however，修饰整个句子，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填However。
64．句意：教育视频无法提供眼神交流，也无法评估学生的参与度。此处作宾语，应用名词"engagement"参与，故填engagement。
65．句意：技术，无论多么先进，都应该是一个好老师的工具。however引导的让步状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致，可以省略从句的主语和be动词，完整的从句是however it is advanced，省略it is，空处需填形容词advanced作表语，故填advanced。
