For eight years, Sophie created realistic-looking limbs (肢) for those who wanted to fit in. But she longed to work on more odd designs that would stand out. Then she met Pollyanna Hope, a young amputee (被截肢者).
“She wanted something a little different on her leg: pictures of a cartoon she loved, Peppa Pig,” said Sophie, who is now based in London. So she designed a unique leg covered in tattoo-like images of Peppa and other pigs riding a bicycle and eating ice cream. Working with Hope made Sophie realize there was a potential market for limbs.
Since then, Sophie founded the Alternative Limb Project (ALP) to make artistic limbs. Her work includes an arm wrapped in sculpted snakes and a leg that looks like porcelain (瓷器) covered in a painted flowery vine. She makes about six limbs per year, always including clients’ ideas so that they receive a personal piece they can celebrate rather than hide.
Of course, a fancy-looking limb won't suit everyone. For Sophie, the basis is that each limb must satisfy a combination of comfort, beauty and functionality, and pushing too hard in one direction can weaken other areas. But for amputees who appreciate novelty, Sophie has some amazing ideas.
“I’d really like to make a candy-dispenser leg with colorful candies inside it” she says. “Or a cuckoo-clock leg with a wooden bird that pops out every hour.” Her goal is to fashion a striking limb.
“It’ll transform the limbs from an elephant in the room into a conversation piece.”
19. Why did Pollyanna Hope come to Sophie
A. She hoped to have a tailored limb.
B. She intended to design a cartoon figure.
C. She longed to expand the market for limbs.
D. She expected to sell Sophie some odd ideas.
20. According to paragraph 3, ALP aims to ______.
A. boost users’ confidence B. sharpen users’ creativity
C. improve Sophie’s sculpture skills D. extend Sophie’s art business
21. What is the basis for Sophie's works
A. The novelty of the pattern tops the list. B. The balance of multi-needs comes first.
C. Fashion is the best policy. D. Functionality is the key.
22. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph
A. Sophie resolves to lead the fashion of limbs.
B. Sophie plans to further transform artistic limbs.
C. Amputees will feel at ease to talk about limbs.
D. Amputees will have easy access to artistic limbs.
C
People do better when more is expected of them. In education circles, this is called the Pygmalion Effect.
The Pygmalion effect got its name from the story of Pygmalion, a mythica（虚构的）Greek sculptor. Pygmalion carved a statue of a woman and then fell in love with it. He appealed to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who brought the statue to life and helped the couple get married. Just as Pygmalion’s fixation on the statue brought it to life, our focus on a student can do the same in schools. Research by Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson examined the influence of teachers’ expectations on students’ performance. They began by testing the IQ of elementary school students. Teachers were told that the IQ test showed around one-fifth of their students to be unusually intelligent. But unknown to the teachers, the “gifted” students were chosen at random. Actually they had no big statistical advantage over the other kids. As the study period ended, all students had their IQs retested. Both groups showed an improvement. Yet those who were described as intelligent experienced much greater gains in their IQ points. Rosenthal and Jacobson owed this result to the Pygmalion effect. Teachers paid more attention to “gifted” students, offering more support and encouragement than they would otherwise.
In general, teachers have the power to influence how the students behave by holding high expectations. If a teacher thinks a student is brilliant, they will treat them as such. The student then gets more opportunities to develop their ability, and their performance improves. This works both ways. When a student expects a teacher to be excellent or successful, they tend to be attentive and supportive. In the process, they improve their performance, too. Students who act interested in lectures create interesting lecturers.
23. Where did the Pygmalion effect get its name from
A. A statue of a lady. B. The goddess of love.
C. A character in a literary work. D. The story made up by Pygmalion.
24. The underlined expression “fixation on” in Paragraph 2 most probably means
A worship of B. affection for C. marriage to D. sympathy for
25. What is the purpose of Rosenthal and Jacobson’s research
A. To improve the kids’ IQ. B. To pick out gifted students.
C. To expand teachers’ influence. D. To examine the Pygmalion effect.
26. What can students do to make a teacher excellent
A. Support the teacher by treating them as excellent.
B. Attend interesting lectures given by the teacher.
C. Work hard to get prepared for opportunities.
D. Show great interest in lectures on acting.
D
Livestreaming (直播带货) is a kind of e-commerce and marketing and sales method. It combines live product demonstrations, time-limited pricing promotions, live negotiations, and instant ordering through online streaming services hosted either by an influencer’s (网红) studio, or an online store.
Livestreaming removes barriers between brands and consumers. While it is focused on driving short term sales, livestreaming can enable firms to improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing. There are certain factors that will increase the chance of success.
Brands should not use livestreaming as a short-term sales booster but as a long-term way to remove barriers between brands and consumers. Specifically, brands could better show their products in this way, tell fuller brand stories, introduce emotional and cultural elements to their products, obtain instant feedback, conduct product trials, improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing, use different livestream hosts to build a bridge for the consumers and cultivate brand loyalty.
Of course, Livestreaming is not without drawbacks. For ads on TV, government has clear rules to forbid brands parading the before-and-after effects of health products. The restrictions are not clear yet for Internet-based livestreaming, and health products are frequently promoted by livestreamers. We need to continue to monitor regulatory updates carefully.
As promoting products through live-streaming has been compared to “turning clicks into cash”, some people have made illegal profits by creating false prosperity (繁荣). Through the purchase of fake followers to increase shares and comments, some live streamers can make up their rate of engagement to cheat brands and companies in an effort to win more trust and make more money. Meanwhile, live-streams have also faced issues like the refund and exchange of products.
27. What does the author advise the brands to do with Livestreaming
A. To achieve as much sales as possible.
B. To focus more on brand marketing.
C To remove barriers between brands and consumers.
D To build a bridge between consumers and government
28. What does the underlined word “parading” probably mean
A. Overstating. B. Comparing.
C. Displaying. D. Describing.
29. How do live streamers create false prosperity
A. By promoting the products as hard as possible.
B. By creating fake comments and shares.
C. By speaking highly of the brands and firms.
D. By refusing the exchange and the refund of products.
30. What’s the author’s attitude towards Livestreaming
A. Supportive. B. Objective.
C. Critical. D. Doubtful.

That school year God blessed me with two trusted children—Tom and Mary. Whenever I went out for training, programs or personal matters, I left everything to them.
However, the peace was ruined when one day I lost one thousand pesos (比索) in my bag. I always kept my wallet near me. I only chose my trusted students to get near my things. I kept the door of my office closed every time I went for my classes. My spine trembled upon my seeing my money was no longer there. I scanned my wallet, my secret pocket and everything in my room. But all my attempts were in vain.
I was angry. That morning before my class ended, I appealed to everyone to help me catch the “thief”. At 4:00 in the afternoon that day, I reminded them about my warning of returning my money before investigation took place. Then suddenly, a boy called Larry said, “Miss, look at the paper on the floor!”
My heart beat wildly when I saw the crumpled paper which I thought useless. I replied to them immediately upon holding the paper. “Yes, here it is!” I showed it to them. They urged me to open the paper. I opened it and to my surprise, I saw the one thousand pesos! I felt relieved. Then, a letter appeared among the banknotes.
“Miss, I am sorry that I stole the money. I returned it. Do not tell my classmates that I returned the money and do not mention anything about it in class, because it hurts me. Thank you, Miss. But I can’t tell you why I stole your money.”
Oh my God! My brain flashed the handwriting of my trusted boy—the “thief”. I was sure this was Tom’s handwriting.

For eight years, Sophie created realistic-looking limbs (肢) for those who wanted to fit in. But she longed to work on more odd designs that would stand out. Then she met Pollyanna Hope, a young amputee (被截肢者).
“She wanted something a little different on her leg: pictures of a cartoon she loved, Peppa Pig,” said Sophie, who is now based in London. So she designed a unique leg covered in tattoo-like images of Peppa and other pigs riding a bicycle and eating ice cream. Working with Hope made Sophie realize there was a potential market for limbs.
Since then, Sophie founded the Alternative Limb Project (ALP) to make artistic limbs. Her work includes an arm wrapped in sculpted snakes and a leg that looks like porcelain (瓷器) covered in a painted flowery vine. She makes about six limbs per year, always including clients’ ideas so that they receive a personal piece they can celebrate rather than hide.
Of course, a fancy-looking limb won't suit everyone. For Sophie, the basis is that each limb must satisfy a combination of comfort, beauty and functionality, and pushing too hard in one direction can weaken other areas. But for amputees who appreciate novelty, Sophie has some amazing ideas.
“I’d really like to make a candy-dispenser leg with colorful candies inside it” she says. “Or a cuckoo-clock leg with a wooden bird that pops out every hour.” Her goal is to fashion a striking limb.
“It’ll transform the limbs from an elephant in the room into a conversation piece.”
19. Why did Pollyanna Hope come to Sophie
A. She hoped to have a tailored limb.
B. She intended to design a cartoon figure.
C. She longed to expand the market for limbs.
D. She expected to sell Sophie some odd ideas.
20. According to paragraph 3, ALP aims to ______.
A. boost users’ confidence B. sharpen users’ creativity
C. improve Sophie’s sculpture skills D. extend Sophie’s art business
21. What is the basis for Sophie's works
A. The novelty of the pattern tops the list. B. The balance of multi-needs comes first.
C. Fashion is the best policy. D. Functionality is the key.
22. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph
A. Sophie resolves to lead the fashion of limbs.
B. Sophie plans to further transform artistic limbs.
C. Amputees will feel at ease to talk about limbs.
D. Amputees will have easy access to artistic limbs.
【答案】19. A 20. A 21. B 22. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Sophie为截肢者设计独特假肢的经历和想法，展示了她的设计理念和对截肢者需求的关注。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段““She wanted something a little different on her leg: pictures of a cartoon she loved, Peppa Pig,” said Sophie, who is now based in London. So she designed a unique leg covered in tattoo-like images of Peppa and other pigs riding a bicycle and eating ice cream. (“她想在腿上画点不一样的东西：她喜欢的动画片小猪佩奇的照片，”现在住在伦敦的Sophie说。因此，她设计了一条独特的腿，上面有纹身图案，比如佩奇和其他猪骑自行车、吃冰淇淋。)”可知，Pollyanna Hope来找Sophie的原因是希望有一个定制的假肢。故选A。
【20题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Since then, Sophie founded the Alternative Limb Project (ALP) to make artistic limbs. Her work includes an arm wrapped in sculpted snakes and a leg that looks like porcelain (瓷器) covered in a painted flowery vine. She makes about six limbs per year, always including clients’ ideas so that they receive a personal piece they can celebrate rather than hide.(从那时起，Sophie创立了“ALP”，制作艺术肢体。她作品包括一条包裹着雕刻蛇的手臂和一条看起来像瓷器的腿，上面覆盖着彩绘的花藤。她每年制作大约六只假肢，总是包括客户的想法，这样他们就可以得到一件可以庆祝而不是隐藏的个人作品。)”可知，Sophie创立“ALP”是为了让客户有一件可以庆祝而不是隐藏的假肢，也就是为了提升用户的自信心。故选A。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“For Sophie, the basis is that each limb must satisfy a combination of comfort, beauty and functionality, and pushing too hard in one direction can weaken other areas. But for amputees who appreciate novelty, Sophie has some amazing ideas.(对Sophie来说，基础是每个肢体都必须满足舒适、美观和功能的结合，在一个方向上用力过猛会削弱其他领域。但对于喜欢新奇事物的截肢者来说，Sophie有一些惊人的想法。)”可知，对Sophie来说，作品的基础是每个肢体都必须满足舒适、美观和功能的结合。故选B。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。在英文中“an elephant in the room”比喻一些非常显而易见的，可是却一直被忽略的棘手问题。由此可知，这句话的意思指的是“将假肢的事变成日常话题”，也就是说Sophie希望截肢者能够轻松地谈论假肢。故选C。
C
People do better when more is expected of them. In education circles, this is called the Pygmalion Effect.
The Pygmalion effect got its name from the story of Pygmalion, a mythica（虚构的）Greek sculptor. Pygmalion carved a statue of a woman and then fell in love with it. He appealed to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who brought the statue to life and helped the couple get married. Just as Pygmalion’s fixation on the statue brought it to life, our focus on a student can do the same in schools. Research by Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson examined the influence of teachers’ expectations on students’ performance. They began by testing the IQ of elementary school students. Teachers were told that the IQ test showed around one-fifth of their students to be unusually intelligent. But unknown to the teachers, the “gifted” students were chosen at random. Actually they had no big statistical advantage over the other kids. As the study period ended, all students had their IQs retested. Both groups showed an improvement. Yet those who were described as intelligent experienced much greater gains in their IQ points. Rosenthal and Jacobson owed this result to the Pygmalion effect. Teachers paid more attention to “gifted” students, offering more support and encouragement than they would otherwise.
In general, teachers have the power to influence how the students behave by holding high expectations. If a teacher thinks a student is brilliant, they will treat them as such. The student then gets more opportunities to develop their ability, and their performance improves. This works both ways. When a student expects a teacher to be excellent or successful, they tend to be attentive and supportive. In the process, they improve their performance, too. Students who act interested in lectures create interesting lecturers.
23. Where did the Pygmalion effect get its name from
A. A statue of a lady. B. The goddess of love.
C. A character in a literary work. D. The story made up by Pygmalion.
24. The underlined expression “fixation on” in Paragraph 2 most probably means
A. worship of B. affection for C. marriage to D. sympathy for
25. What is the purpose of Rosenthal and Jacobson’s research
A. To improve the kids’ IQ. B. To pick out gifted students.
C. To expand teachers’ influence. D. To examine the Pygmalion effect.
26. What can students do to make a teacher excellent
A. Support the teacher by treating them as excellent.
B. Attend interesting lectures given by the teacher.
C. Work hard to get prepared for opportunities.
D. Show great interest in lectures on acting.
【答案】23. C 24. B 25. D 26. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。当人们对他们期望更多时，他们会做得更好。在教育界，这被称为皮格马利翁效应。这种效应在教师与学生也能起到作用，如果一个老师认为一个学生很聪明，他们就会这样对待他们。学生会得到更多的机会来发展他们的能力，他们的表现也会提高。当一个学生期望一个老师是优秀的或成功的，他们往往是关注和支持老师。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段The Pygmalion effect got its name from the story of Pygmalion, a mythica（虚构的）Greek sculptor. 可知，皮格马利翁效应得名于希腊神话雕塑家皮格马利翁的故事。由此可以看出，皮格马利翁效应是来自希腊神话，也就是文学作品中的人物。故选C。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段Pygmalion carved a statue of a woman and then fell in love with it. He appealed to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who brought the statue to life and helped the couple get married. Just as Pygmalion’s fixation on the statue brought it to life, our focus on a student can do the same in schools. 可知，皮格马利翁雕刻了一个女人的雕像，然后爱上了它。他向爱神阿芙罗狄蒂求助，阿芙罗狄蒂将雕像复活，并帮助这对夫妇结婚。正如皮格马利翁对雕像的fixation使它栩栩如生，我们对学生的关注也能在学校里起到同样的作用。由此可以推出，fixation on与fell in love with 以及focus on 相呼应，所以affection for对……的喜爱；对……的情感符合题意，所以fixation on的大概意为对……的喜爱；对……的情感。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章Research by Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson examined the influence of teachers’ expectations on students’ performance. They began by testing the IQ of elementary school students. Teachers were told that the IQ test showed around one-fifth of their students to be unusually intelligent. But unknown to the teachers, the “gifted” students were chosen at random. Actually they had no big statistical advantage over the other kids. As the study period ended, all students had their IQs retested. Both groups showed an improvement. Yet those who were described as intelligent experienced much greater gains in their IQ points. Rosenthal and Jacobson owed this result to the Pygmalion effect. Teachers paid more attention to “gifted” students, offering more support and encouragement than they would otherwise.可知，罗伯特·罗森塔尔和莱诺·雅各布森的研究考察了教师期望对学生成绩的影响。他们首先测试小学生的智商。老师们被告知，智商测试显示大约五分之一的学生异常聪明。但老师们并不知道，这些“天才”学生是随机挑选出来的。事实上，他们在统计上没有比其他孩子大的优势。研究结束后，所有的学生都重新测试了他们的智商。两组都有改善。然而，那些被描述为聪明的人在智商方面获得了更大的提高。罗森塔尔和雅各布森将这个结果归功于皮格马利翁效应。教师对“天才”学生给予了更多的关注，给予了更多的支持和鼓励。这是测验的内容。再根据最后一段In general, teachers have the power to influence how the students behave by holding high expectations. If a teacher thinks a student is brilliant, they will treat them as such. The student then gets more opportunities to develop their ability, and their performance improves.可知，一般来说，教师有权通过对学生抱有很高的期望来影响学生的行为。如果一个老师认为一个学生很聪明，他们就会这样对待他们。学生会得到更多的机会来发展他们的能力，他们的表现也会提高。因此可以推出，罗森塔尔和雅各布森的研究目的是研究皮格马利翁效应。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段This works both ways. When a student expects a teacher to be excellent or successful, they tend to be attentive and supportive. In the process, they improve their performance, too. Students who act interested in lectures create interesting lecturers.可知，这是双向的。当一个学生期望一个老师是优秀的或成功的，他们往往是关注和支持。在这个过程中，他们也提高了自己的表现。对讲座感兴趣的学生创造出有趣的讲师。因此可以推测出，学生能够使老师优秀的做法就是学生认为老师是优秀，支持老师。故选A。
D
Livestreaming (直播带货) is a kind of e-commerce and marketing and sales method. It combines live product demonstrations, time-limited pricing promotions, live negotiations, and instant ordering through online streaming services hosted either by an influencer’s (网红) studio, or an online store.
Livestreaming removes barriers between brands and consumers. While it is focused on driving short term sales, livestreaming can enable firms to improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing. There are certain factors that will increase the chance of success.
Brands should not use livestreaming as a short-term sales booster but as a long-term way to remove barriers between brands and consumers. Specifically, brands could better show their products in this way, tell fuller brand stories, introduce emotional and cultural elements to their products, obtain instant feedback, conduct product trials, improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing, use different livestream hosts to build a bridge for the consumers and cultivate brand loyalty.
Of course, Livestreaming is not without drawbacks. For ads on TV, government has clear rules to forbid brands parading the before-and-after effects of health products. The restrictions are not clear yet for Internet-based livestreaming, and health products are frequently promoted by livestreamers. We need to continue to monitor regulatory updates carefully.
As promoting products through live-streaming has been compared to “turning clicks into cash”, some people have made illegal profits by creating false prosperity (繁荣). Through the purchase of fake followers to increase shares and comments, some live streamers can make up their rate of engagement to cheat brands and companies in an effort to win more trust and make more money. Meanwhile, live-streams have also faced issues like the refund and exchange of products.
27. What does the author advise the brands to do with Livestreaming
A. To achieve as much sales as possible.
B. To focus more on brand marketing.
C. To remove barriers between brands and consumers.
D. To build a bridge between consumers and government
28. What does the underlined word “parading” probably mean
A. Overstating. B. Comparing.
C. Displaying. D. Describing.
29. How do live streamers create false prosperity
A. By promoting the products as hard as possible.
B. By creating fake comments and shares.
C. By speaking highly of the brands and firms.
D. By refusing the exchange and the refund of products.
30. What’s the author’s attitude towards Livestreaming
A. Supportive. B. Objective.
C. Critical. D. Doubtful.
【答案】27. C 28. A 29. B 30. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。直播是一种电子商务和营销销售方式，它结合了现场产品演示、限时定价促销、现场谈判，以及通过网红工作室或在线商店托管的在线流媒体服务进行即时订购。文章对直播带货的优点和缺点进行了详细介绍。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Brands should not use livestreaming as a short-term sales booster but as a long-term way to remove barriers between brands and consumers.(品牌不应将直播作为短期的销售助推器，而应将其作为消除品牌与消费者之间障碍的长期途径。)”可知，作者建议品牌用直播消除品牌与消费者之间的障碍。故选C。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段第二句中的“government has clear rules to forbid brands(政府有明确规定禁止品牌)”和“the before-and-after effects of health products(保健品的前后效果)”可知，此处是指政府有明确规定禁止品牌夸大保健品的前后效果，所以parading意为“夸大”。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“Through the purchase of fake followers to increase shares and comments, some live streamers can make up their rate of engagement to cheat brands and companies in an effort to win more trust and make more money.(通过购买虚假粉丝来增加分享和评论，一些主播可以弥补他们的参与率来欺骗品牌和公司，以赢得更多的信任，赚更多的钱。)”可知，主播通过虚假评论和分享来制造虚假繁荣。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Livestreaming removes barriers between brands and consumers. While it is focused on driving short term sales, livestreaming can enable firms to improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing. There are certain factors that will increase the chance of success.(直播消除了品牌和消费者之间的障碍。虽然专注于推动短期销售，但直播可以使企业通过结合品牌营销和绩效营销来提高营销效率。有一些因素会增加成功的机会。)”和第四段第一句“Of course, Livestreaming is not without drawbacks.(当然，直播并非没有缺点。)”可知，作者客观陈述了直播带货的优点和缺点，所以作者的态度是客观的。故选B。
