（2022·江苏南京·校联考模拟预测）Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home from the office. I’d watch as he put his personal items away: his watch, wallet, comb and car keys. They would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.
Dad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK ”
I was more than happy to do it. At age five, this kind of 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 that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.
About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. 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 come home, 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 Why take the risk and place the whole family in trouble Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.
Now 28, I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has also started to get back on track. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me went on.
Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. On that evening, I helped him carry his bags into his study as usual. When I turned to leave, he asked me to clean his comb. I looked at him for a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.
It was a new comb. This one was brown. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it. After cleaning it, I passed it back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad had aged. He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before.
24．From the first three paragraphs, we can learn .
A．the earliest memories with Dad were full of joy
B．the precious green comb of Dad was made of jade

（2023·河北沧州·沧州市第二中学校联考三模）From ordering food to buying a new book to making a charitable donation, more and more decisions that used to be made on paper are now being made on digital devices like tablets, phones, and computers. And this trend towards digitalization has many advantages, in particular when it comes to efficiency and sustainability — but could it also be negatively influencing how we make decisions
We conducted a series of studies with more than 2, 500 participants across the U. S. and China to explore the impact of the medium you use to make a decision, with a particular focus on decisions with some sort of moral component, such as whether or not to make a donation to a charity, or whether to choose a healthy or unhealthy entrée (主菜) at a restaurant. We asked the participants to make a variety of these sorts of choices using either a paper form or a digital tablet, and despite controlling for all other variables (变量) , we consistently found that people who used paper made more moral decisions than those who used a digital device: For example, participants who read their choices and made a selection on paper were significantly more likely to give money to charity, choose a healthy entree, and opt for an educational book rather than something more entertaining.
Why might this be Our research suggests that the key mechanism driving this effect is how “real” the decision feels. We asked participants in two of our studies to describe how real a decision felt, as well as the extent to which they believed the decision as representing who they were as people, and they consistently indicated that making a choice on paper felt more real and representative than making the same decision on a digital device.
It may seem like a minor detail, but our research shows that the medium with which your customers, employees, or community members make a decision can have a major impact on the choices they make. This has implications (暗示) for marketers, policymakers, and anyone seeking to encourage any sort of virtuous behaviour. For example, to encourage customers to choose healthier options, restaurants might consider opting for paper rather than digital menus. Similarly, parents and educators might opt to provide students with paper rather than online book order forms, to increase the chances that they’ll choose educational reading materials.
28．What do we know about the studies
A．The participants are all from America.
B．The participants are divided into three groups.
C．The studies pay special attention to decisions with moral component.
D．The studies prove the efficiency and availability of the digital device.
29．What main mechanism is responsible for this effect mentioned in the text
A．The awareness of environmental protection.
B．People’s objection to trend towards digitalization.
C．The real feeling caused by making decisions on paper.
D．People’s care about their identity when making decisions on paper.
30．What can we infer about the research finding from the last paragraph
A．It has practical value. B．It needs improvement.
C．It can stand the test of time. D．It makes sense in every situation.
31．What’s the main idea of the text
A．Pen and paper will never be replaced.
B．We encourage everyone to make a responsible choice.
C．We make more moral choices when using pen and paper.
D．Educational reading materials should be provided in the form of paper.

（2023·山东淄博·校联考二模）In the threatening trouble of climate change, growing commercial crops on solar farms is a potentially efficient use of agricultural land that can both increase commercial food production and improve solar panel performance and longevity(寿命), according to a new Cornell research.
“We now have, for the first time, a physics-based tool to estimate the costs and benefits of co-locating solar panels and commercial agriculture in terms of increased power conversion efficiency and solar-panel longevity, ” said lead author Henry Williams, a doctoral student in Cornell Engineering.
“There is potential for agrivoltaic (农业光伏) systems-where agriculture and solar panels coexist-to provide increased passive cooling through taller panel heights, more reflective ground cover and higher evapotranspiration (蒸散) rates compared to traditional solar farms,” said Max Zhang, professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, “We can generate renewable electricity and conserve farmland through agrivoltaic systems.” In New York, for example, about 40% of solar farm capacity has been developed on agricultural lands, while about 84% of land suitable for solar development is agricultural, according to a previous research study from Zhang’s group.
The engineers showed that solar panels mounted over vegetation reveal surface temperature drops compared to those built over bare ground. Solar panels were mounted 4 meters above a cotton crop and the solar panels showed temperature reductions by up to 10 degrees Celsius, compared with those mounted a half-meter above bare soil.
“As you decrease the solar panel operating temperature, you can increase efficiency and improve the longevity of your solar panels, ” said Williams, “We’re showing double benefits. On one hand, you have food production for farmers, and on the other hand, we’ve shown improved longevity and improved conversion efficiency for solar developers.”
“Up to this point, most of the benefits from agrivoltaic systems have been around areas with abundant sunshine, ” said Zhang, “This research is taking a step toward evaluating the application of agrivoltaics in climates representative of the Northeastern U. S. in relaxing the land-use competition it faces.”
32．What does the new Cornell research convey
A．Growing commercial crops can relieve climate change.
B．It’s costly to improve solar panel performance and longevity.
C．Commercial agriculture can increase power conversion efficiency.
D．The coexistence of solar panels and commercial crops is mutually beneficial.
33．Why does the author list the figures in paragraph 3
A．To show the promising future of agrivoltaics.
B．To indicate the lack of solar farms in New York.
C．To tell agricultural lands are based on solar farms.
D．To demonstrate agricultural farms are more developed.
34．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．The Northeastern US is rich in agricultural lands.
B．Hot climate zones are ideal for developing agrivoltaics.
C．The research made a breakthrough in land-use competition.
D．The application of agrivoltaics in Northeastern US proved practical.
35．Which is a suitable title for the text
A．Approaches to Tackling World Climate Change
B．Methods of Increasing Agricultural Production
C．Agrivoltaics Have Been Well Received in the US
D．Growing Crops at Solar Farms Generates Higher Efficiency

The Science of Happiness
Kate is a bright young woman with an intense focus on academics and a long-term goal of becoming a neuroscientist (神经系统科学家). Her path is charted very carefully each day according to schedule. She meets after school with the Brain Club, a group she started that discusses neuroscience and trades academic papers like baseball cards. It’s the kind of group you would never imagine in high school, which is mature beyond their years and led by their own initiative.
It would seem there was no room in Kate’s schedule for fun, let alone helping others. But then she found out about an elementary school hit hard by the pandemic, then inflation, and now a recession (衰退). It sits in the middle of a working-class neighborhood and most of parents were tired out by working physically demanding jobs from dawn to dark. Most families were doing the best but they could just put a few groceries on the table.
Halloween was approaching, and many of the families didn’t participate because they lacked costumes and couldn’t afford to give out candy themselves. So Kate called the headmaster of the elementary school. She was told the families wanted their kids to have fun on Halloween, but they also needed more books in the home.
So Kate went to work. She began with the Brain Club and then branched out to other clubs. They would sponsor a trick-or-treat event featuring games, candy and book giveaways. It was a huge organizational challenge—one that only a very organized person could handle.So Kate put her smarts to use. She arranged for groups of her fellows to decorate their cars and create games. She found a DJ and rounded up boxes of costumes for the kids. She even got the local police to decorate their cruiser (巡逻车). And she went to work getting kids books donated.

（2022·江苏南京·校联考模拟预测）Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home from the office. I’d watch as he put his personal items away: his watch, wallet, comb and car keys. They would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.
Dad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK ”
I was more than happy to do it. At age five, this kind of 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 that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.
About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. 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 come home, 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 Why take the risk and place the whole family in trouble Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.
Now 28, I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has also started to get back on track. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me went on.
Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. On that evening, I helped him carry his bags into his study as usual. When I turned to leave, he asked me to clean his comb. I looked at him for a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.
It was a new comb. This one was brown. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it. After cleaning it, I passed it back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad had aged. He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before.

（2023·河北沧州·沧州市第二中学校联考三模）From ordering food to buying a new book to making a charitable donation, more and more decisions that used to be made on paper are now being made on digital devices like tablets, phones, and computers. And this trend towards digitalization has many advantages, in particular when it comes to efficiency and sustainability — but could it also be negatively influencing how we make decisions
We conducted a series of studies with more than 2, 500 participants across the U. S. and China to explore the impact of the medium you use to make a decision, with a particular focus on decisions with some sort of moral component, such as whether or not to make a donation to a charity, or whether to choose a healthy or unhealthy entrée (主菜) at a restaurant. We asked the participants to make a variety of these sorts of choices using either a paper form or a digital tablet, and despite controlling for all other variables (变量) , we consistently found that people who used paper made more moral decisions than those who used a digital device: For example, participants who read their choices and made a selection on paper were significantly more likely to give money to charity, choose a healthy entree, and opt for an educational book rather than something more entertaining.
Why might this be Our research suggests that the key mechanism driving this effect is how “real” the decision feels. We asked participants in two of our studies to describe how real a decision felt, as well as the extent to which they believed the decision as representing who they were as people, and they consistently indicated that making a choice on paper felt more real and representative than making the same decision on a digital device.
It may seem like a minor detail, but our research shows that the medium with which your customers, employees, or community members make a decision can have a major impact on the choices they make. This has implications (暗示) for marketers, policymakers, and anyone seeking to encourage any sort of virtuous behaviour. For example, to encourage customers to choose healthier options, restaurants might consider opting for paper rather than digital menus. Similarly, parents and educators might opt to provide students with paper rather than online book order forms, to increase the chances that they’ll choose educational reading materials.
28．What do we know about the studies
A．The participants are all from America.
B．The participants are divided into three groups.
C．The studies pay special attention to decisions with moral component.
D．The studies prove the efficiency and availability of the digital device.
29．What main mechanism is responsible for this effect mentioned in the text
A．The awareness of environmental protection.
B．People’s objection to trend towards digitalization.
C．The real feeling caused by making decisions on paper.
D．People’s care about their identity when making decisions on paper.
30．What can we infer about the research finding from the last paragraph
A．It has practical value. B．It needs improvement.
C．It can stand the test of time. D．It makes sense in every situation.
31．What’s the main idea of the text
A．Pen and paper will never be replaced.
B．We encourage everyone to make a responsible choice.
C．We make more moral choices when using pen and paper.
D．Educational reading materials should be provided in the form of paper.
【答案】28．C 29．C 30．A 31．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了数字化趋势对人们决策的影响。作者进行了一系列研究，发现使用纸质表格做出的决策比使用数字设备做出的决策更具有道德性。
28．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“We conducted a series of studies with more than 2, 500 participants across the U. S. and China to explore the impact of the medium you use to make a decision, with a particular focus on decisions with some sort of moral component, such as whether or not to make a donation to a charity, or whether to choose a healthy or unhealthy entrée (主菜) at a restaurant.(我们对美国和中国的2500多名参与者进行了一系列研究，以探索你用来做决定的媒介的影响，特别关注带有某种道德成分的决定，比如是否向慈善机构捐款，或者在餐馆里选择健康或不健康的主菜。)”可知，这些研究特别关注带有道德成分的决定。故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Our research suggests that the key mechanism driving this effect is how “real” the decision feels.(我们的研究表明，驱动这种效应的关键机制是决定给人的“真实”感觉。)”和“…making a choice on paper felt more real and representative than making the same decision on a digital device.(……在纸上做出选择比在数字设备上做出同样的决定更真实、更有代表性。)”可知，纸上决策带来的真实感受是造成这种效果的原因。故选C。
30．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This has implications (暗示) for marketers, policymakers, and anyone seeking to encourage any sort of virtuous behaviour. For example, to encourage customers to choose healthier options, restaurants might consider opting for paper rather than digital menus. Similarly, parents and educators might opt to provide students with paper rather than online book order forms, to increase the chances that they’ll choose educational reading materials.(这对市场营销人员、政策制定者和任何试图鼓励任何良性行为的人都有启示。例如，为了鼓励顾客选择更健康的食物，餐馆可能会考虑选择纸质菜单而不是电子菜单。同样，家长和教育工作者可能会选择向学生提供纸质而非在线图书订购表，以增加他们选择教育读物的机会。)”可知，研究结果具有实用价值。故选A。
31．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“We asked the participants to make a variety of these sorts of choices using either a paper form or a digital tablet, and despite controlling for all other variables (变量) , we consistently found that people who used paper made more moral decisions than those who used a digital device(我们要求参与者使用纸质表格或数字平板电脑做出各种各样的选择，尽管控制了所有其他变量，但我们一致发现，使用纸质表格的人比使用数字设备的人做出更多的道德决定)”和全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了数字化趋势对人们决策的影响。作者进行了一系列研究，发现使用纸质表格做出的决策比使用数字设备做出的决策更具有道德性。由此可知，C项：We make more moral choices when using pen and paper.(当我们用笔和纸时，我们会做出更多的道德选择。)是文章的主旨大意。故选C。

（2023·山东淄博·校联考二模）In the threatening trouble of climate change, growing commercial crops on solar farms is a potentially efficient use of agricultural land that can both increase commercial food production and improve solar panel performance and longevity(寿命), according to a new Cornell research.
“We now have, for the first time, a physics-based tool to estimate the costs and benefits of co-locating solar panels and commercial agriculture in terms of increased power conversion efficiency and solar-panel longevity, ” said lead author Henry Williams, a doctoral student in Cornell Engineering.
“There is potential for agrivoltaic (农业光伏) systems-where agriculture and solar panels coexist-to provide increased passive cooling through taller panel heights, more reflective ground cover and higher evapotranspiration (蒸散) rates compared to traditional solar farms,” said Max Zhang, professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, “We can generate renewable electricity and conserve farmland through agrivoltaic systems.” In New York, for example, about 40% of solar farm capacity has been developed on agricultural lands, while about 84% of land suitable for solar development is agricultural, according to a previous research study from Zhang’s group.
The engineers showed that solar panels mounted over vegetation reveal surface temperature drops compared to those built over bare ground. Solar panels were mounted 4 meters above a cotton crop and the solar panels showed temperature reductions by up to 10 degrees Celsius, compared with those mounted a half-meter above bare soil.
“As you decrease the solar panel operating temperature, you can increase efficiency and improve the longevity of your solar panels, ” said Williams, “We’re showing double benefits. On one hand, you have food production for farmers, and on the other hand, we’ve shown improved longevity and improved conversion efficiency for solar developers.”
“Up to this point, most of the benefits from agrivoltaic systems have been around areas with abundant sunshine, ” said Zhang, “This research is taking a step toward evaluating the application of agrivoltaics in climates representative of the Northeastern U. S. in relaxing the land-use competition it faces.”
32．What does the new Cornell research convey
A．Growing commercial crops can relieve climate change.
B．It’s costly to improve solar panel performance and longevity.
C．Commercial agriculture can increase power conversion efficiency.
D．The coexistence of solar panels and commercial crops is mutually beneficial.
33．Why does the author list the figures in paragraph 3
A．To show the promising future of agrivoltaics.
B．To indicate the lack of solar farms in New York.
C．To tell agricultural lands are based on solar farms.
D．To demonstrate agricultural farms are more developed.
34．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．The Northeastern US is rich in agricultural lands.
B．Hot climate zones are ideal for developing agrivoltaics.
C．The research made a breakthrough in land-use competition.
D．The application of agrivoltaics in Northeastern US proved practical.
35．Which is a suitable title for the text
A．Approaches to Tackling World Climate Change
B．Methods of Increasing Agricultural Production
C．Agrivoltaics Have Been Well Received in the US
D．Growing Crops at Solar Farms Generates Higher Efficiency

39．空处为本段主旨句。根据本段中“And one of the fastest ways to take back your power is to utter a tiny two-letter word: NO, Practice saying ‘no’ at least once a day.(而重新变得有能力的最快方法之一就是说出一个两个字母的单词：不。每天至少练习说一次‘不’)”可知，本段是说学会说“不”，A项“说‘不’”符合语境，故选A。
40．根据下文“I bet if you ask the people closest to you in your life, they’ll shrug and nod, letting you know that they’ve experienced self-doubt and a loss of confidence, too.(我敢打赌，如果你问你生命中最亲近的人，他们会耸耸肩点头，告诉你他们也经历过自我怀疑和信心的丧失)”中的关键词too可知，空处应是提及某个人失去信心的情况，D项“这种事在我身上发生过不止一次”符合语境。故选D。

（2023·山东·沂水县第一中学校联考模拟预测）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The Science of Happiness
Kate is a bright young woman with an intense focus on academics and a long-term goal of becoming a neuroscientist (神经系统科学家). Her path is charted very carefully each day according to schedule. She meets after school with the Brain Club, a group she started that discusses neuroscience and trades academic papers like baseball cards. It’s the kind of group you would never imagine in high school, which is mature beyond their years and led by their own initiative.
It would seem there was no room in Kate’s schedule for fun, let alone helping others. But then she found out about an elementary school hit hard by the pandemic, then inflation, and now a recession (衰退). It sits in the middle of a working-class neighborhood and most of parents were tired out by working physically demanding jobs from dawn to dark. Most families were doing the best but they could just put a few groceries on the table.
Halloween was approaching, and many of the families didn’t participate because they lacked costumes and couldn’t afford to give out candy themselves. So Kate called the headmaster of the elementary school. She was told the families wanted their kids to have fun on Halloween, but they also needed more books in the home.
So Kate went to work. She began with the Brain Club and then branched out to other clubs. They would sponsor a trick-or-treat event featuring games, candy and book giveaways. It was a huge organizational challenge—one that only a very organized person could handle.So Kate put her smarts to use. She arranged for groups of her fellows to decorate their cars and create games. She found a DJ and rounded up boxes of costumes for the kids. She even got the local police to decorate their cruiser (巡逻车). And she went to work getting kids books donated.
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At dusk on Halloween,the cars arrived in the parking lot.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】At dusk on Halloween, the cars arrived in the parking lot. A course was laid out, beginning with choosing a costume, then on to collect candy, play games and dance with high school students who also wore costumes. The little ones from the elementary school were delighted. They’d never had such a great party. They were singing and dancing happily. And at the end of it, all they signed up for the book club: read a book and then exchange it for another.
The headmaster said this was the happiest time for the kids. Parents were also excited. They showed gratitude to Kate and her fellows, with shining tears in their eyes. As for Kate,she took careful notes on how happiness affects people’s attitude toward life and learning. She also got a lot of hugs from little princesses and superheroes. Through this event,she taught us a lesson: when you take the time, you can make somebody’s world better.
