I think I might be a NIMBY. This is rather hard for me to accept, because that shortened word
(Not In My Back Yard) is typically used to criticize someone as self-centered. I even recall when I
first heard the word—at school, some 30 years ago. My teacher explained it was that UK property
developers are frequently frustrated by hypocritical homeowners, who claim to be in favour of
progress (new housing, for instance), but then object when actual proposals emerge to develop such
things in their postcodes.
As a young adult I lived in London, so I never had cause to revise my opinion. But then I moved
to the green belt where our house is surrounded by fields. Look out, and you see nothing man-made at
all, unless the farmer is taking out his combine harvester. The view was the reason we bought here.
Thanks to protective planning regulations introduced decades ago, here was a place where an
authentic rural identity had been kept alive.
We could have headed 40 minutes further north, and settled upon another similar looking village
with less threat of being swallowed up by the city. But then, that wouldn’t be the same at all, would it
Our village’s closeness to London is the precise thing that elevates it above and beyond its wonderful
views—because the fact that it might one day be destroyed and turned to concrete is what makes it
most special. It’s not just a place you live in. It’s a place you feel an urge to protect.
Yet the planning applications come thick and fast, each application abandoning prior
commitments to preservation. On a weekly basis, some leaflet drops through my door from local
campaigners protesting 177 houses here, 231 houses there. I always sigh and attempt to evaluate these
“NIMBY” flyers properly, rather than just write a complaint to the council. After all, new houses need
to be built somewhere, right
And if we didn’t live where we do, these plans wouldn’t upset me. It’s because of their intention
to build so close to my property— In My Back Yard— that I’m so aware of the changes that such
developments would bring. So, I add my signature to the flyers.
4. What does the underlined word “hypocritical” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Narrow-minded. B. Indifferent. C. Two-faced. D. Hesitant.
5. Why does the author mention “combine harvester” in Paragraph 2
试卷第 2页，共 8页

A. To stress the uncommon sight of artificial elements.
B. To promote modern machinery in the village.
C. To explain the ongoing agricultural activities.
D. To indicate damage caused by regulations.
6. Why does the author prefer his village to another similar option
A. He is attracted to its beautiful landscape.
B. He sees the benefits of its urbanization.
C. He finds the convenience of living near London.
D. He feels it special and a desire to protect.
7. What is the author’s attitude toward NIMBYism according to Paragraph 5
A. Enthusiastic. B. Dismissive. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.
C
Humans act with purpose, but much is still unknown about how we become purposeful agents—
that is, how we develop the ability to willfully make things happen. In a recent study to explore
agency’s mysterious roots, we tried to catch infants (婴儿) in the act of discovering their own agency,
thereby revealing the process of agency formation.
Researchers place a baby into a cradle with a mobile suspended above. Then a scientist ties one
end of a string to the mobile and the other to the infant’s foot. Now if the baby moves, the toy will, too.
By observing babies in this setup, scientists can watch as the infants learn and recall a simple
cause-and-effect interaction: kick a foot and the mobile moves.
As predicted by the researchers, infants kicked significantly more when their foot was tethered
(拴住) to the mobile than when it was not. However, when an experimenter pulled the string to make
the mobile move instead, infants moved less than when the mobile was at rest. Furthermore, when we
freed the babies’ foot from the mobile, they kept on kicking at higher rate to make the toy
respond—and were visibly frustrated when that did not happen.
Our observations also pointed to a notable pattern: The babies’ initial movements consisted of
twisting and pushing without clear direction. But once tethered to the mobile, the more intensely they
moved, the more their attention was drawn to the effect their kicking had on it. At some point, the
infants must have figured out that they had agency, thus the aimless movements became intentional
action—a highly coordinated exchange between the tethered infant and the mobile.
The baby-mobile study emphasizes how understanding the relationship between an organism and
its environment is essential to uncovering the origins of directed behavior. The experience of agency
emerges only when an organism senses it is coupled to its environment. In this way of thinking, the
interaction and relationship between the two are crucial for purpose to arise.
8. What can we learn about agency according to the text
A. It is an inborn ability without learning. B. It is embodied in babies most evidently.
C. It exists in all aspects of our daily life. D. It is a response with our surroundings.
9. How did the researchers make the experiment convincing
A. By predicting multiple possible results. B. By tracking babies’ behaviour precisely.

If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well eat it. But what if they offered to also give
you $2 You might politely decline and walk away thinking, “Something smells fishy.”
In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people
tend to turn down offers of “free money” as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap
services because they seem “too good to be true.” The research bridges economics and psychology to
explain why financial attraction can backfire.
In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely—compared
with about 20 percent of those offered $2 as well. “People typically imagine things like that someone
did something disgusting to the cookie,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch, a psychological
scientist at University of Canterbury in New Zealand.
If someone seems to violate accepted norms such as self-interest without explanation, we assume
they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs”: imagined consequences that reduce
what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value”.
Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ noticeable
overgenerosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Rachel
McCloy, a psychologist studying decision-making at England’s University of Reading.” The old
maxim “there’s no such thing as a free lunch’ is clearly alive and well.”
Another experiment found that high scorers on measures of distrust inferred more phantom costs.
The researchers also showed how to minimize the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The
“cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very
uncomfortable.” Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling
people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient
clarification.”
12. What do we know about financial attraction in the first 2 paragraphs
A. It is regarded as an unexpected positive outcome.
B. It may cause the contrary effect of that intended.
C. It can fuel the interest and bridge the gap between people.
D. It may enhance the value of an offer.
13. Why is the saying “there is no such thing as a free lunch” quoted in the last but one paragraph

A. To promote generosity in society.
B. To serve as a supporting argument.
C. To highlight hidden costs of generous offers.
D. To remind people to be cautious of free items.
14. Which case can reduce “Phantom Costs”
A. Offering more money. B. Providing additional unrelated gifts.
C. Discounting the price further. D. Giving a seemingly reasonable explanation.
15. Which could be the best title of the text
A. Phantom Costs: Why Some Deals Seem Too Good to Be True
B. Phantom Costs: What Is the Science of Financial Attraction
C. Psychological Value: Why People Reject Free Money and Offer
D. Psychological Value: How People interpret Overgenerosity in Deals

Always the outsider
One of the things I used to fear was being the new girl in the office — in the kitchen making
coffee while the in-crowd chatted about the weekend. I worried that I wasn’t good enough or smart
enough. 16 I’d struggle for words while trying to look cool. Back at school, I was best friends
with Kate and Cathy until we had to walk across the road in twos, and guess who was left out I’ve
always been the outsider from school days to office life. Or is that the story I have told myself
As in so many areas of life, the only thing you can control is your response. I remind myself of
what Eleanor Roosevelt said: 17 The only person making me feel like an outsider is me. These
are the lessons I have learned along the way:
●Starting anywhere new, you just have to find your people, the ones that get you. 18
It’s OK to take your time and figure out if you’re the right fit for each other. Have faith that you will
find the right people for you.
●Very often it’s our belief systems that tell us we don’t fit in. We are replaying the stories from
childhood and need to rewrite the script (剧本). 19 When are you assuming that you’ll be on
your own What fears are you projecting onto yourself
●Practice self-acceptance. Remind yourself that it’s OK to have a different way of operating in
the world.
● 20 Sometimes, interactions with random strangers can help us feel more confident in all
our relationships. For example, volunteering can make us feel connected and give us a sense of
belonging.
A. Don’t charge into friendships, though.
B. Start noticing your patterns of mentality.
C. If I was asked a question, panic would set in.
D. No one can make you feel lower without your agreement.

city. It is a visual game, requiring 26 and focus. Spotting recognizable shapes in the wild is like

of the world while I’m finding another one. And I know the fossils aren’t demanding my 30
attention because they have nothing but time.

On a sunny afternoon, my friend Ollie and I were enjoying skateboarding at our local park. Our
mood was light until Ollie spotted a poster for the upcoming Harvest Fair. The idea of attending it was
thrilling, but the ticket price of $50 quickly iced our enthusiasm.
While we were thinking over the cost, our attention was drawn to the list of attractions. Among
the various activities, we noticed that our favorite band-Eagles was going to perform. We couldn’t
help but break into singing our favorite song by them. What added to our excitement was the pie
contest in the poster, a delightful reminder of our shared memory. It used to be the most popular event
in our community. But thinking of the expensive tickets, which seemed to be a shadow over our
excitement, we all sighed. Then I suggested going to my parents’ store to see if they could help.
Upon arriving, my dad told us he had some good news, showing some tickets to us. They were
the very ones we had seen in the poster! My dad explained that his old partner had made a request to
hang a poster here for the Harvest Fair, and in return, he offered us free passes. Much to my delight,
there were six tickets for five people in our family and an extra one for my friend! The news was like
a breath of fresh air, bringing unexpected joy into our day. We could all set out to experience the fair
together, no one missing out.
Just then, Mrs. Smith, our awesome 80-year-old neighbor, walked unsteadily towards us. “I just
saw the poster in your window. How I used to love going to fairs!” She paused, with her eyes
dropping before she continued. “But it’s hard for me to get around now, and tickets cost so much these
days...”

基础写作
An Unforgettable Experience of Labour
During the National Day holiday that had just finished, I spent one day participating in a local environmental clean- up initiative.
On that day, I joined a group of volunteers to pick up litter in the wetland park. Armed with gloves and trash bags, we spent hours collecting discarded bottles, cans, and plastic waste. It was a laborious task, but the sense of purpose was inspiring. As we cleaned, we also educated visitors about the importance of environmental conservation.
The experience was not only about physical labor but also a lesson about community spirit and personal responsibility. I felt a deep sense of accomplishment, knowing that my efforts, however small, contributed to a cleaner and healthier environment.
读后续写
Possible version
Ollie approached me, seemingly to say something. As Mrs. Smith continued to gaze longingly at the poster, he whispered, “Why don’t we give her the extra ticket ” Touched by his thoughtfulness and generosity, I nodded. When we presented her with the ticket, she was overjoyed and lost for words. My dad winked at Ollie, silently expressing gratitude for his kindness. The fair was great, filled with laughter, music, and the freshly baked pies. But the very best part was seeing Mrs. Smith’s broad smile.
After the fair, I came up with a plan to make up for Ollie ‘s absence. My family decided to throw a surprise “Family Harvest Fair” in his honor. Besides party decoration, we prepared simple but fun games. We also invited neighbors around. Ollie’s face lit up with surprise and gratitude. During the fair, we baked an “award-winning” pie and gifted him with a classic album bearing Eagles’ autographs. Even though it wasn’t quite the same as the real fair, the genuine laughter and happiness shared among us were equally fulfilling. It was Ollie’s act of kindness that sparked a ripple of lasting joy for us all.

【来源】2024年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试抢分卷（三）英语试题
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了英国电影教育慈善机构Into Film的一个将电影制作引入课堂的一个课程。
1. 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Among all its most popular courses, this filmmaking and animation course will teach you how to use simple filmmaking techniques to aid assessment and attainment across the curriculum for young people aged 5-19. You’ll discover how film can be used as powerful tools to encourage active learning and enable your pupils to establish strong connections with any area of the subjects. (在所有最受欢迎的课程中，这门电影制作和动画课程将教您如何使用简单的电影制作技术来帮助 5-19 岁的年轻人在整个课程中进行评估和成就。您将了解如何将电影用作鼓励主动学习的强大工具，并使您的学生能够与学科的任何领域建立牢固的联系。)”及“What topics will the course cover ”部分中的“Explore how to make simple films with your pupils(探索如何与学生一起制作简单的电影)”可知，这门课程将教你如何使用简单的电影制作技术来帮助你评估和实现5至19岁年轻人的课程学习，你将发现电影如何能够作为强大的工具来鼓励积极学习，并使你的学生能够与课程的任何领域建立牢固的联系，你也可以与你的学生一起探索如何制作简单的电影。综上可知，该课程的授课对象是老师。故选A项。
2. 推理判断题。根据“What topics will the course cover ”部分中的“Design a range of filmmaking briefs that can ensure filmmaking projects are class-focused(设计一系列电影制作简报，以确保电影制作项目以课堂为中心)”和“Plan how to run in-class and remote filmmaking projects efficiently(计划如何有效地运行课堂和远程电影制作项目)”可知，在课程中，学习者会学习设计一系列的电影制作概要，这些概要能确保电影制作项目是以课程为重点的，并计划如何有效地运行课堂和远程电影制作项目。由此可推断，课程结束时，学该课程的人可能能够设计出以课堂为基础的电影制作项目。故选B项。
3. 推理判断题。综观全文，尤其是最后一段“So if you have any interest, don’t hesitate to come and join us. You’ll be amazed by the resources shared！(因此，如果您有任何兴趣，请随时加入我们。您会对共享的资源感到惊讶！)”可知，作者写作本文主要是为了吸引对该课程有兴趣的人申请课程，参与其中。故选D项。

【来源】江苏省南通市海安高级中学2023-2024学年高二下学期第二次月考英语试题
【导语】本文是一篇叙述文。作者通过描述自己从伦敦搬到乡村绿带的经历，表达了对家乡环境变化的关注和担忧。文章不仅记录了作者的个人经历，还反映了作者对“NIMBY (不要在我家后院)”这一社会现象的理解和态度。
4. 词义猜测题。由文章第一段中的“who claim to be in favour of progress (new housing, for instance) , but then object when actual proposals emerge to develop such things in their postcodes. (这些房主声称支持进步（例如，新建住房），但当出现在他们的邮政编码地区开发此类项目的实际建议时，他们就会反对。)”可知，那些人声称支持进步，但当实际的开发提案出现在他们的邮政编码区时却表示反对。英国房地产开发商经常被两面的房主所挫败，hypocritical的意思是“两面的”。A. Narrow-minded心胸狭窄的；B. Indifferent漠不关心的；C. Two-faced两面的，两面派；D. Indecisive优柔寡断的。故选C。
5. 推理判断题。由文章第二段中的“Look out, and you see nothing man-made at all, unless the farmer is taking out his combine harvester . The view was the reason we bought here. Thanks to protective planning regulations introduced decades ago, here was a place where an authentic rural identity had been kept alive. (放眼望去，你看不到任何人造的东西，除非农民拿出他的联合收割机(I A 4&&JI)。风景是我们在这里买房的原因。多亏了几十年前出台的保护性规划法规，这里一直保持着真正的农村特色。)”可知，作者强调的是该地区自然风光的原始和美丽，以及人为因素的稀少。因此，选项A“To emphasize the rarity of artificial elements. (为了强调人造元素的稀有性)”正确。故选A。
6. 推理判断题。由文章第三段中的“Our village’s closeness to London is the precise thing that elevates it above and beyond its wonderful views—because the fact that it might one day be destroyed and turned to concrete is what makes it most special. It’s not just a place you live in. It’s a place you feel an urge to protect. (我们的村庄离伦敦很近，正是这一点使它超越了美丽的景色，因为有一天它可能会被摧毁，变成混凝土，这是它最特别的地方。这不仅仅是一个你居住的地方。这是一个你想要保护的地方。)”可知，作者认为，正是这个村庄可能被摧毁并变成混凝土的事实让它变得特别，让他有保护它的冲动。因此，他选择留在现在的村庄，并感到有义务保护它免受开发威胁。故选D。
7. 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中的“I always sigh and attempt to evaluate these “NIMBY” flyers properly, rather than just write a complaint to the council.

14. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Another experiment found that high scorers on measures of distrust inferred more phantom costs. The researchers also showed how to minimize the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal.(另一项实验发现，在不信任测试中得分高的人推断出更多的幻影成本。研究人员还展示了如何将影响降到最低：简单地提供一个交易的理由)”可知，给出合理的解释可以减少“幻影成本”。故选D。

任务写作
Possible Version
An Unforgettable Experience of Labour
During the National Day holiday that had just finished, I spent one day participating in a local environmental clean- up initiative.
On that day, I joined a group of volunteers to pick up litter in the wetland park. Armed with gloves and trash bags, we spent hours collecting discarded bottles, cans, and plastic waste. It was a laborious task, but the sense of purpose was inspiring. As we cleaned, we also educated visitors about the importance of environmental conservation.
The experience was not only about physical labor but also a lesson about community spirit and personal responsibility. I felt a deep sense of accomplishment, knowing that my efforts, however small, contributed to a cleaner and healthier environment.
读后续写
Possible version
Ollie approached me, seemingly to say something. As Mrs. Smith continued to gaze longingly at the poster, he whispered, “Why don’t we give her the extra ticket ” Touched by his thoughtfulness and generosity, I nodded. When we presented her with the ticket, she was overjoyed and lost for words. My dad winked at Ollie, silently expressing gratitude for his kindness. The fair was great, filled with laughter, music, and the freshly baked pies. But the very best part was seeing Mrs. Smith’s broad smile.
After the fair, I came up with a plan to make up for Ollie ‘s absence. My family decided to throw a surprise “Family Harvest Fair” in his honor. Besides party decoration, we prepared simple but fun games. We also invited neighbors around. Ollie’s face lit up with surprise and gratitude. During the fair, we baked an “award-winning”pie and gifted him with a classic album bearing Eagles’autographs. Even though it wasn’t quite the same as the real fair, the genuine laughter and happiness shared among us were equally fulfilling. It was Ollie’s act of kindness that sparked a ripple of lasting joy for us all.
