Is your promotion really necessary Many workers focus their hopes on climbing the scale of their organizations. The prospect of higher pay helps explain their ambition,but so does the greater status that comes with each successive(连续的) title.
This climb can often end in disappointment. The Peter Principle, developed by Laurence Peter for a book published in 1969, states that workers get promoted until they reach their level of incompetence. It makes perfect sense. If you are good at your job, you rise up the career ladder. Eventually, there will be a job you are not good at and at that point your career will stop.
There is another problem with chasing the promotion fantasy. Many companies have a strong tendency to promote the best sales people. Convincing others to buy goods and services is a useful skill, requiring charm and persistence. But, as the authors point out, these are not the same capabilities as the strategic planning and administrative competence needed to lead a sales team.
The research then looked at what happened after these super-salespeople were promoted Their previous sales performance was actually a negative indicator of managerial success.The sales growth of workers assigned to the star sellers was 7.5 percentage points lower than for those whose managers were previously weaker performers.
The trick to avoiding this curse is to stick to what you like doing. If you enjoy teaching, don't be a headmaster or college principal. If you like writing articles and columns, editing other people's work may not give the same degree of satisfaction.
Another problem with pursuing frequent promotions is that it turns you into a supplicant, endlessly in search of favourable feedback from the higher-ups. This can lead you to lose control of your work-life balance. In Charles Handy's new book, 21 Letters On Life And Its Challenges, the experienced management theorist recalls an insight when working for Royal Dutch Shell,an oil giant. "In exchange for the promise of financial security and guaranteed work, I had sold my time to complete strangers with my permission for them to use that time for their own purpose," he writes.
The higher up the ladder you go, the greater the demands are likely to be on your time.The chief executive will expect you to be available at weekends: after all, that is why you get paid the big bucks.
So that shiny promotion may not be for everyone. Beware the curse of overwork an/dissatisfaction. Some people like to devote their whole lives to their job and be at the centre of events. It is best to let them get on with it.
1．What can we learn about"The Peter Principle"
A．People's careers are easily spoiled by unrealistic expectations.
B．There are to some degree certain ceilings in people's career paths
C．Incompetent employees tend to have more chances to gain promotions

B．To show how many challenges we face without getting promoted
C．To illustrate the serious consequences of the pursuit of promotion
D．To prove the economic security brought along by the promotion.
3．Which of the following might be the best title of this passage

【答案】1．B
2．C
3．B
【知识点】推理判断题；日常生活类；议论文；标题选择
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了关于晋升的负面影响。
【点评】考查阅读理解，包含推理判断、标题归纳题，是一篇生活类阅读，注意先略读文章，掌握文章大意，再分析题干及选项，到文中找到相关内容并进行理解。
1．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"The Peter Principle, developed by Laurence Peter for a book published in 1969, states that workers get promoted until they reach their level of incompetence. It makes perfect sense. If you are good at your job, you rise up the career ladder. Eventually, there will be a job you are not good at and at that point your career will stop."由劳伦斯 彼得(Laurence Peter)在1969年出版的一本书中提出的"彼得原则"(The Peter Principle)指出，彼得定理指出，在官僚机构中，只要员工表现良好，可以胜任某一职位，他就会一直得到提拔，直到他们到达一个他们不能胜任的职位为止，然后他们就会一直待在这个职位上，不会再有晋升。可推知，人们的职业生涯在某种程度上是有限度的。故选B。
2．考查推理判断。根据第六段中的"Another problem with pursuing frequent promotions is that it turns you into a supplicant, endlessly in search of favourable feedback from the higher-ups. This can lead you to lose control of your work-life balance."频繁升职的另一个问题是，它会让你变成一个乞求者，无休止地从上级那里寻求他对你的积极的反馈。这导致你失去平衡生活与工作的控制权。可推知，Charles Handy's new book 21 Letters On Life And Its Challenges被提到是为了说明追求晋升的严重后果。故选C。
3．考查标题归纳。根据最后一段中的"So that shiny promotion may not be for everyone. Beware the curse of overwork an/dissatisfaction." 所以光鲜的晋升可能并不适合所有人。当心随之而来的诅咒——过度劳累和满意度降低。可知，这篇文章讲述的是晋升的诅咒。"晋升的诅咒"适合作本文标题。故选B。

A portrait created by artificial intelligence(AI)made a historic appearance on the auction(拍卖)block at Christie's in New York City this week．It is the first artwork created by an algorithm(算法)to be offered for auction in the world of fine art．
The strange-looking painting of an imaginary man in a dark long dress left the auction block at Christie's for $432，500 on Oct.25 in New York City．
The portrait—designed in the"Old Master"style of European fine artists from centuries ago—only partially fills the canvas(画布)，leaving empty space around the central figure．It appears to represent a man with an unclear face，dressed in clothing similar to that worn by subjects painted by the Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn in the 17th century．
Of course，a computer didn't pick up a brush and become an artist．The AI that generated(生成)the image had human programmers—a Parisian art team called Obvious．To generate the portrait，titled"Portrait of Edmond De Belamy"，the Obvious team first fed the neural network a diet of 15，000 images painted between the 14th and 20th centuries，to train it to recognize visual elements in fine art，Obvious artist Hugo Caselles—Dupré told Christie's．The algorithm that eventually created an original image had two parts that worked against each other，called the Generator and the Discriminator．
"The Generator makes a new image based on the set，and then the Discriminator tries to spot the difference between a human-made image and one created by the Generator．The aim is to fool the Discriminator into thinking that the new images are real—life portraits．Then，we have a result，"he told Christie's．
GAN's final image was then inkjet—printed on canvas and framed，according to Obvious．At the bottom of the portrait is a mathematical formula(公式)representing the algorithm that created it，Obvious artists wrote on the team's website．
The goal of the painting and of Obvious，also co-founded by Hugo Caselles-Dupré and Gauthier Vernier，was to prove"artificial intelligence can do more than operate driverless cars or transform industry—it can be creative，"CNBC reported．
4．What does the author think of the portrait
A．It might frightened away the visitors．
B．It was a breakthrough in history．
C．It was well received by all the artists．
D．It is a masterpiece painted by Christie．
5．How does the portrait look
A．It is painted with some empty space．
B．The figure wears a strange expression．
C．It is in the style of European fine artists of the time．
D．The figure is dressed in the same way as the Dutch artist．
6．What did the artists do to generate the portrait
A．They invested $432，500 to buy paintings．
B．They taught the network to learn painting．
C．They worked with the Generator to paint 1 5000 paintings．
D．They input a large number of paintings into the computer．
7．The Obvious team created the portrait to show artificial intelligence can____．
A．replace human beings B．be applied in many fields
C．operate driverless cars D．be better than human beings
【答案】4．B
5．A
6．D
7．B

二、七选五
（2024高三下·乌鲁木齐月考） 七选五
We're living in modern times and it seems like we never have enough time. We all get the same amount in a day, a week, and a year. It just depends on how we use it. Rather than all getting the same amount of time to spend, 12． What if we could control the way we consume our time to a greater extent Here are three unexpected ways to give ourselves more time.
Help others
This might seem strange, but people who have more time often give it away through volunteering and helping others. A study that compared the opportunities to waste time, spend time on oneself, or spend a gift of time found that giving time selflessly actually increased people's perception of time. 13．
14．
When we do the same things every day, our brains tend to take shortcuts, and our efforts don't require as much conscious thought. This makes time seem to go more quickly. In contrast, when we do things in new or unexpected ways, our brains engage more consciously. We experience time as slowing down because we're more present and putting more work into the thinking that goes into the task. We can apply this research by selecting when we choose to do things in new ways versus our typical way. 15． . But if you want to extend your perception of time, take the winding road or a new route on the way home from the office.
Take control
16． . It's a problem when we have too much to do in too little time, especially when we're not the ones deciding how we spend our time. We can take back a sense of having enough time by incorporating as much control as possible, and by redesigning our days. Even the simple act of pausing for 10 minutes to think about how you want to spend your time-which project to start on, which call to return, or which email to prioritize-can reassert a greater sense of time abundance.
A．Do things in new ways
B．Seek the experience of awe
C．what if we could have more
D．That way, rather than being slaves to time, we can be masters of it
E．Go the same route every time if you prefer your drive to work to go quickly
F．Why not lend a hand to others if you want to control and even expand time
G．Nothing contributes to time poverty more than feeling out of control
【答案】12．C；13．F；14．A；15．E；16．G
【知识点】说明文；七选五；学习教育类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了让自己感觉有更多时间的方法。
【点评】考查七选五，本文是一篇教育类阅读，要求在理解细节信息的基础上，着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。
12．根据空前"Rather than all getting the same amount of time to spend"而不是所有人都花同样多的时间)"， C．what if we could have more "如果我们可以有更多的时间呢"和前面的"不是所有人有同样多的时间"意思一致，且在句式上和后文的"What if"相一致，符合语境，故选C。
13．本段小标题是"Help others"帮助别人；以及空前"A study that compared the opportunities to waste time, spend time on oneself, or spend a gift of time found that giving time selflessly actually increased people's perception of time."一项比较了浪费时间、把时间花在自己身上或花时间作为礼物的机会的研究发现，无私地奉献时间实际上会增加人们对时间的感知。因此本段主要讲的是要帮助他人，空格后是问号，因此空格处应该是一个问题， F．Why not lend a hand to others if you want to control and even expand time "如果你想控制甚至扩展时间，为什么不帮助别人呢"和本段小标题相符合，且是一个表建议的问题，因此F选项承接上文，符合语境，故选F。
14．根据空后"In contrast, when we do things in new or unexpected ways, our brains engage more consciously. We experience time as slowing down because we're more present and putting more work into the thinking that goes into the task."相反，当我们以新的或意想不到的方式做事情时，我们的大脑会更有意识地参与进来。我们感觉时间变慢了，因为我们更专注于当下，在思考任务时投入了更多的精力。可知，本段主要讲的是要尝试用新的方式去做事情， A．Do things in new ways "用新的方式做事"概括本段主要内容，可作为小标题，故选A。
15．根据空前"We can apply this research by selecting when we choose to do things in new ways versus our typical way."我们可以应用这项研究来选择什么时候用新的方式做事情，什么时候用传统的方式做事情；以及空后"But if you want to extend your perception of time, take the winding road or a new route on the way home from the office."但如果你想延长你的时间观念，那就在下班回家的路上选择一条蜿蜒的道路或一条新的路线。此处应该说按传统的方法做事， E．Go the same route every time if you prefer your drive to work to go quickly "如果你喜欢开车上班要快，每次都走同一条路线"说明的是按传统的方法做事，符合语境，故选E。
16．根据本段小标题"Take control"控制，因此本段和"控制"有关， G．Nothing contributes to time poverty more than feeling out of control "没有什么比失控的感觉更能导致时间匮乏了"中的"out of control"和"Take control"相呼应，说明失控会让人感觉缺少时间，因此G选项和本段语境相符合，故选G。

33．句意： 至少有一口井冒出了难闻的气体。宾语gas和动词短语come out of在逻辑上是主谓关系，动词come应用现在分词，故填coming。
34．句意：鸡甚至猪都紧张得不敢吃东西，狗也拒绝进入建筑物内。"too+形容词/副词+to do"是固定搭配，表示"太……而不能"，故填to eat。
35．句意：凌晨3点42分，20世纪最致命的地震之一爆发了。one of+the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数，表示"最……之一"，所以此处应用earthquake的复数，故填earthquakes。
36．句意：不到一分钟，唐山就成了一片废墟。in ruins固定短语，"一片废墟"，故填in。
37．句意：在地震中死亡或重伤的人数超过40万。______were killed or badly injured in the quake是限定性定语从句，先行词为people，指人，且从句缺少主语，应用关系代词who/that，故填who/that。
38．句意：但并没有失去所有的希望。根据下文描述，震后人们开始组织救援，城市开始恢复可知，此处表示"没有失去所有的希望"，all the hope表示"所有的希望"，此处all与not连用表示部分否定，故填all。
39．句意：更多的人，包括工人和医生，前来提供帮助。此处是"介词+名词"作状语，应用介词including表示"包括"，故填including。
40．句意： 今天，一个新的唐山在地震废墟上建成，这向全世界证明，在灾难发生时，人们必须团结起来，显示出积极向上的智慧，重建更美好的未来。此处表示"一个新的唐山"，应用不定冠词来修饰Tangshan，且new发音是以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a，故填a。
41．句意： 今天，一个新的唐山在地震废墟上建成，这向全世界证明，在灾难发生时，人们必须团结起来，显示出积极向上的智慧，重建更美好的未来。根据句意可知，此处表示"更美好的未来"，是未来的唐山和现在相比较，应用形容词bright的比较级brighter作定语，修饰名词future。故填brighter。

Finally, the bell rang. "Don't forget to practice your class presentation at home!" Miss Bella cried as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jessy felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her. Once, when Jessy was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jessy watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jessy sighed. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee's watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jessy knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn't want to run after him. Jessy bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jessy put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. "I'm going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I've won lots of competitions. But when I'm in a race, I'm not really thinking about winning. I'm just loving the feeling of being in the water…" Jessy laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jessy saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee's watch really DID have something magic about it.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Bella asked who was going to be brave and go first. Nobody moved. Jessy slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Bella could say anything, there was a shout from behind. "She's stolen my watch!" Lee said angrily, "It went missing at school yesterday."
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

【答案】Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jessy, waiting for an explanation. A flush of embarrassment came to her cheeks, making Jessy biting her lips. Dead silence suddenly fell. Then came Miss Bella's voice, "Why is Lee's watch on your wrist " Jessy hesitated for a while and decided to tell the truth. However, on second thoughts of the well-prepared speech and the magic of the watch, she changed her mind. "Miss Bella, could I give the speech first and then explain " She made a request in a tone of begging.
Miss Bella smiled and asked the class to listen to Jessy's speech first. Jessy put away her fright, took a deep breath, and made for the platform. Casting a glance at the sea of faces watching her, Jessy cleared her throat and began her speech. "I'm going to talk about swimming…" Word began to flood out of her. "What a terrific a speech." Whispers went around the classroom, and even Miss Bella nodded with approval. Immediately Jessy finished her speech, a storm of applause erupted from the class. Relieved, Jessy told everyone the truth, and especially the magic of the watch. She returned the watch to Lee as she eventually realized the real source of confidence.

一、阅读理解
（2024高三下·乌鲁木齐月考） 阅读理解
Is your promotion really necessary Many workers focus their hopes on climbing the scale of their organizations. The prospect of higher pay helps explain their ambition,but so does the greater status that comes with each successive(连续的) title.
This climb can often end in disappointment. The Peter Principle, developed by Laurence Peter for a book published in 1969, states that workers get promoted until they reach their level of incompetence. It makes perfect sense. If you are good at your job, you rise up the career ladder. Eventually, there will be a job you are not good at and at that point your career will stop.
There is another problem with chasing the promotion fantasy. Many companies have a strong tendency to promote the best sales people. Convincing others to buy goods and services is a useful skill, requiring charm and persistence. But, as the authors point out, these are not the same capabilities as the strategic planning and administrative competence needed to lead a sales team.
The research then looked at what happened after these super-salespeople were promoted Their previous sales performance was actually a negative indicator of managerial success.The sales growth of workers assigned to the star sellers was 7.5 percentage points lower than for those whose managers were previously weaker performers.
The trick to avoiding this curse is to stick to what you like doing. If you enjoy teaching, don't be a headmaster or college principal. If you like writing articles and columns, editing other people's work may not give the same degree of satisfaction.
Another problem with pursuing frequent promotions is that it turns you into a supplicant, endlessly in search of favourable feedback from the higher-ups. This can lead you to lose control of your work-life balance. In Charles Handy's new book, 21 Letters On Life And Its Challenges, the experienced management theorist recalls an insight when working for Royal Dutch Shell,an oil giant. "In exchange for the promise of financial security and guaranteed work, I had sold my time to complete strangers with my permission for them to use that time for their own purpose," he writes.
The higher up the ladder you go, the greater the demands are likely to be on your time.The chief executive will expect you to be available at weekends: after all, that is why you get paid the big bucks.
So that shiny promotion may not be for everyone. Beware the curse of overwork an/dissatisfaction. Some people like to devote their whole lives to their job and be at the centre of events. It is best to let them get on with it.
1．What can we learn about"The Peter Principle"
A．People's careers are easily spoiled by unrealistic expectations.

D．To prove the economic security brought along by the promotion.
3．Which of the following might be the best title of this passage

A portrait created by artificial intelligence(AI)made a historic appearance on the auction(拍卖)block at Christie's in New York City this week．It is the first artwork created by an algorithm(算法)to be offered for auction in the world of fine art．
The strange-looking painting of an imaginary man in a dark long dress left the auction block at Christie's for $432，500 on Oct.25 in New York City．
The portrait—designed in the"Old Master"style of European fine artists from centuries ago—only partially fills the canvas(画布)，leaving empty space around the central figure．It appears to represent a man with an unclear face，dressed in clothing similar to that worn by subjects painted by the Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn in the 17th century．
Of course，a computer didn't pick up a brush and become an artist．The AI that generated(生成)the image had human programmers—a Parisian art team called Obvious．To generate the portrait，titled"Portrait of Edmond De Belamy"，the Obvious team first fed the neural network a diet of 15，000 images painted between the 14th and 20th centuries，to train it to recognize visual elements in fine art，Obvious artist Hugo Caselles—Dupré told Christie's．The algorithm that eventually created an original image had two parts that worked against each other，called the Generator and the Discriminator．
"The Generator makes a new image based on the set，and then the Discriminator tries to spot the difference between a human-made image and one created by the Generator．The aim is to fool the Discriminator into thinking that the new images are real—life portraits．Then，we have a result，"he told Christie's．
GAN's final image was then inkjet—printed on canvas and framed，according to Obvious．At the bottom of the portrait is a mathematical formula(公式)representing the algorithm that created it，Obvious artists wrote on the team's website．
The goal of the painting and of Obvious，also co-founded by Hugo Caselles-Dupré and Gauthier Vernier，was to prove"artificial intelligence can do more than operate driverless cars or transform industry—it can be creative，"CNBC reported．
4．What does the author think of the portrait
A．It might frightened away the visitors．
B．It was a breakthrough in history．
C．It was well received by all the artists．
D．It is a masterpiece painted by Christie．
5．How does the portrait look
A．It is painted with some empty space．
B．The figure wears a strange expression．
C．It is in the style of European fine artists of the time．
D．The figure is dressed in the same way as the Dutch artist．
6．What did the artists do to generate the portrait
A．They invested $432，500 to buy paintings．
B．They taught the network to learn painting．
C．They worked with the Generator to paint 1 5000 paintings．
D．They input a large number of paintings into the computer．
7．The Obvious team created the portrait to show artificial intelligence can____．
A．replace human beings B．be applied in many fields
C．operate driverless cars D．be better than human beings

We're living in modern times and it seems like we never have enough time. We all get the same amount in a day, a week, and a year. It just depends on how we use it. Rather than all getting the same amount of time to spend, 12． What if we could control the way we consume our time to a greater extent Here are three unexpected ways to give ourselves more time.
Help others
This might seem strange, but people who have more time often give it away through volunteering and helping others. A study that compared the opportunities to waste time, spend time on oneself, or spend a gift of time found that giving time selflessly actually increased people's perception of time. 13．
14．
When we do the same things every day, our brains tend to take shortcuts, and our efforts don't require as much conscious thought. This makes time seem to go more quickly. In contrast, when we do things in new or unexpected ways, our brains engage more consciously. We experience time as slowing down because we're more present and putting more work into the thinking that goes into the task. We can apply this research by selecting when we choose to do things in new ways versus our typical way. 15． . But if you want to extend your perception of time, take the winding road or a new route on the way home from the office.
Take control
16． . It's a problem when we have too much to do in too little time, especially when we're not the ones deciding how we spend our time. We can take back a sense of having enough time by incorporating as much control as possible, and by redesigning our days. Even the simple act of pausing for 10 minutes to think about how you want to spend your time-which project to start on, which call to return, or which email to prioritize-can reassert a greater sense of time abundance.
A．Do things in new ways
B．Seek the experience of awe
C．what if we could have more
D．That way, rather than being slaves to time, we can be masters of it
E．Go the same route every time if you prefer your drive to work to go quickly
F．Why not lend a hand to others if you want to control and even expand time
G．Nothing contributes to time poverty more than feeling out of control

答案解析部分
【答案】1．B
2．C
3．B
【知识点】推理判断题；日常生活类；议论文；标题选择
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了关于晋升的负面影响。
【点评】考查阅读理解，包含推理判断、标题归纳题，是一篇生活类阅读，注意先略读文章，掌握文章大意，再分析题干及选项，到文中找到相关内容并进行理解。
1．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"The Peter Principle, developed by Laurence Peter for a book published in 1969, states that workers get promoted until they reach their level of incompetence. It makes perfect sense. If you are good at your job, you rise up the career ladder. Eventually, there will be a job you are not good at and at that point your career will stop."由劳伦斯 彼得(Laurence Peter)在1969年出版的一本书中提出的"彼得原则"(The Peter Principle)指出，彼得定理指出，在官僚机构中，只要员工表现良好，可以胜任某一职位，他就会一直得到提拔，直到他们到达一个他们不能胜任的职位为止，然后他们就会一直待在这个职位上，不会再有晋升。可推知，人们的职业生涯在某种程度上是有限度的。故选B。
2．考查推理判断。根据第六段中的"Another problem with pursuing frequent promotions is that it turns you into a supplicant, endlessly in search of favourable feedback from the higher-ups. This can lead you to lose control of your work-life balance."频繁升职的另一个问题是，它会让你变成一个乞求者，无休止地从上级那里寻求他对你的积极的反馈。这导致你失去平衡生活与工作的控制权。可推知，Charles Handy's new book 21 Letters On Life And Its Challenges被提到是为了说明追求晋升的严重后果。故选C。
3．考查标题归纳。根据最后一段中的"So that shiny promotion may not be for everyone. Beware the curse of overwork an/dissatisfaction." 所以光鲜的晋升可能并不适合所有人。当心随之而来的诅咒——过度劳累和满意度降低。可知，这篇文章讲述的是晋升的诅咒。"晋升的诅咒"适合作本文标题。故选B。
【答案】4．B
5．A
6．D
7．B
【知识点】细节理解题；说明文；文学艺术类
【解析】【分析】本文是说明文，介绍了一幅具有颠覆意义的肖像画出现在纽约佳士得拍卖行的拍卖台上，卖出天价，但它的创作者却"不是人"。此举颇有历史意义。这幅画作由人工智能创作，是艺术界首次拍卖由算法创作的艺术品。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解题型的考查，是一篇艺术类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并结合题目要求，从而选出正确答案。
4．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"A portrait created by artificial intelligence(AI)made a historic appearance on the auction(拍卖)block at Christie's in New York City this week.
