话题阅读 导入主题
Two thousand dollars was a lot of money, but Ryan didn't give up. He was determined to help other children have clean water. He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbours and persuaded them to donate money. At the same time, a friend of Ryan's mother helped make his story go public. After several months, Ryan had raised the $2,000, with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda. The children at the school no longer needed to walk for hours to get water. They were grateful to him and invited him to visit.
In Uganda, Ryan at last saw the finished well with his own eyes. But that was not all. He also saw hundreds of delighted students who had turned out to welcome him. They sang and danced happily. Some even offered him food and gifts. At first Ryan was nervous, but soon a great warmth filled him. He really had made a difference for these children. He broke into a joyful smile.
Later, Ryan's experience led him to set up a foundation to encourage more people to help. Many inspired people gave him their support. Ryan's foundation continues to attract support from more and more people, so the work of building more wells can go on. Today, over 800,000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life changing gift of clean, safe water.

[2023·新课标Ⅰ卷]
On March 7, 1907, the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the “wisdom of crowds” effect. The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases, the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.
This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren't always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won't cancel each other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people's estimates be independent. If for whatever reasons, people's errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down.
But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist(转折) on this classic phenomenon. The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.
In a follow up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion. Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates Did they follow those least willing to change their minds This happened some of the time, but it wasn't the dominant response. Most frequently, the groups reported that they “shared arguments and reasoned together.” Somehow, these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error. Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential implications for group discussion and decision making are enormous.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。没有人是一座孤岛,文章陈述了“群体智慧”效应。实验表明,在某些情况下大量独立估计的平均值可能是相当准确的。
1.What is Paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A.The methods of estimation.
B.The underlying logic of the effect.
C.The causes of people's errors.
D.The design of Galton's experiment.
解析:段落大意题。根据第二段“This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren't always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won't cancel each other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people's estimates be independent. If for whatever reasons, people's errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down.(这种效应利用了这样一个事实,即当人们犯错误时,这些错误并不总是相同的。有些人常常会高估,有些人则会低估。当这些误差中有足够多的误差被平均在一起时,它们会相互抵消,从而产生更准确的估计。如果相似的人倾向于犯同样的错误,那么他们的错误不会相互抵消。从更专业的角度来说,群众智慧要求人们的估计是独立的。如果由于任何原因,人们的错误变得相关或依赖,估计的准确性就会下降。)”可知,本段阐述了人们所犯的错误不总是相同的,各不相同的误差平均在一起,相互抵消就会产生更准确的估计,讨论了独立估计的平均如何由于误差的消除而产生更准确的预测。因此本段主要解释了“群体智慧”效应这一现象的基本逻辑。故选B。
答案:B
2.Navajas' study found that the average accuracy could increase even if ________.
A.the crowds were relatively small
B.there were occasional underestimates
C.individuals did not communicate
D.estimates were not fully independent
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people's estimates be independent.(从更专业的角度来说,群众智慧要求人们的估计是独立的。)”和第三段中的“The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.(这项研究的关键发现是,当人群被进一步划分为允许进行讨论的小组时,这些小组的平均值比同等数量的独立个体的平均值更准确。例如,从四个五人讨论组的估计中获得的平均值明显比从20个独立个体获得的平均值更准确。)”可知,人们在没有独立的情况下,分成更小群体,平均值是更准确的,说明即使在估计数字并非完全独立的情况下,准确率提高也是可以做到的。故选D。
答案:D
3.What did the follow up study focus on
A.The size of the groups.
B.The dominant members.
C.The discussion process.
D.The individual estimates.
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In a follow up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion. Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates Did they follow those least willing to change their minds?(在一项针对100名大学生的后续研究中,研究人员试图更好地了解小组成员在讨论中的实际行为。他们是否倾向于选择那些对自己的估计最有信心的人?他们追随那些最不愿意改变主意的人吗?)”可知,在后续研究中,研究人员试图更好地了解小组成员在讨论中实际做了什么。结合两个问题可知,后续研究的重点是小组内的讨论过程。故选C。
答案:C
4.What is the author's attitude toward Navajas' studies
A.Unclear. B.Dismissive.
C.Doubtful. D.Approving.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential implications for group discussion and decision making are enormous.(尽管Navajas领导的研究有局限性,仍存在许多问题,但对小组讨论和决策制定的潜在影响是巨大的。)”可知,作者认为虽然Navajas领导的研究有局限性也存在许多问题,但对小组讨论和决策制定的潜在影响巨大。因此推断作者对于Navajas的研究表示一定的赞许和支持。故选D。
答案:D
B
When Randy Heiss went hiking behind his Patagonia, Ariz farm, the last thing he expected to find was a Christmas list from a little girl across the US Mexico border.“I found this balloon on my morning walk near Patagonia on Sunday. Attached to it was a piece of paper with the Christmas wishes from a little girl,” Heiss wrote on his Facebook page.
When he brought the list home to his wife, who speaks fluent Spanish, they determined that the little girl had asked for Enchantimals toys, clothes, art supplies and various other gifts. That's when Heiss set out to make the little girl's Christmas dreams come true. Heiss said he had attempted to send Christmas letters to Santa Claus via balloon when he was a kid but never received a response.
Heiss sent a Facebook message on Wednesday to XENY, a radio station in Nogales, to see if it could help him track down the girl or her family. He later received a response from the station, which had determined the author of the letter was an 8 year old girl named Dayami, and the station wanted to set up a meeting between the two on Thursday. “It just changed my entire day,” Heiss told The Washington Post. “Instead of going back to my office in Bisbee, I went with my wife to Walmart.”
The couple bought almost everything on Dayami's list. They also brought a few gifts for Dayami's little sister, Ximena. They told the children they were “ayudantes de Santa,” or Santa's helpers.
Heiss, 60, said the experience was very healing for him and his wife. Nine years ago, the couple's only son died. “Being around children at Christmas time has been absent in our lives,” Heiss said. We now have friends for life. For a day, that border fence with its concertina wire melted away.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了60岁的海斯捡到了一个由气球带来的圣诞愿望清单,在妻子的帮助下,他们实现了小女孩的愿望,和小女孩成了朋友,这也让失去了儿子的夫妻二人十分高兴,而且得到了安慰。
5.How did Dayami send out her Christmas wishes
A.By calling Heiss.
B.By attaching them to a balloon.
C.By writing to a radio station.
D.By sending a Facebook message.
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“‘I found this balloon on my morning walk near Patagonia on Sunday. Attached to it was a piece of paper with the Christmas wishes from a little girl,’Heiss wrote on his Facebook page.”可知,星期天早上海斯在巴塔哥尼亚附近散步时,发现了这个气球。由此可知,达亚米通过把祝福和愿望拴在气球上的方式把它们送了出去,故选B项。
答案:B
6.When did Heiss know what the girl exactly wanted
A.After the help of his wife.
B.When he found the balloon.
C.After their meeting in America.
D.When he got a response from the radio station.
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“When he brought the list home to his wife, who speaks fluent Spanish, they determined that the little girl had asked for Enchantimals toys, clothes, art supplies and various other gifts.”可知,这个清单上写的是西班牙语,海斯是在他妻子的帮助下才知道了小女孩的愿望,故选A项。
答案:A
7.What might make Heiss decide to fulfill the little girl's Christmas wishes
A.His son's will.
B.The girl's request for help.
C.His similar unsuccessful experience.
D.His desire to make friends with the girl.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Heiss said he had attempted to send Christmas letters to Santa Claus via balloon when he was a kid but never received a response.”可知,海斯小时候曾试图通过气球给圣诞老人寄信,但从未收到任何回复。因此他有和小女孩相似的但不成功的经历,这让他决定帮助女孩实现愿望,故选C项。
答案:C
8.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.The couple got out of the pain completely.
B.The experience was a great relief to the couple.
C.The couple would help more children from Mexico.
D.There will be no border between countries one day.
解析:推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“‘Being around children at Christmas time has been absent in our lives,’ Heiss said. We now have friends for life. For a day, that border fence with its concertina wire melted away.”可知,海斯夫妇唯一的儿子死了,没有人陪他们过圣诞节了,现在他们有了终身的朋友。由此可知,满足小女孩的愿望就像在满足自己失去的儿子的愿望一般,让这对夫妻有了心理安慰,也有了一种解脱,故选B项。
答案:B

1.解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:以下三家引人注目的酒店分别位于中国偏远的城镇,远离城市的喧嚣。分析句子可知,“Each 1.________(locate) in remote Chinese towns”是独立主格结构,locate(把……安置在/建造于)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语Each之间是被动关系,应用过去分词表被动。故填located。
答案:located

答案:had restored

答案:impressive
6.解析:考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:浙江省的Treewow部落的特色是房屋被竹林包围,为游客提供舒适的隐秘性。分析句子可知,设空处是句中谓语动词,与主语The Treewow Tribe之间是主动关系,根据语境,描述一般性事实,用一般现在时态,又因主语是专有名词,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填features。
答案:features
7.解析:考查介词。句意同上题。provide...with...是固定搭配,意为“给……提供……”。故填with。
答案:with
8.解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:值得注意的是,自由形式的屋顶模仿自然的自由流动的线条,优雅地将绿色景观引入私人空间。分析句子可知,“gracefully 8.________(invite) the green landscape into the private space”在句中作结果状语,invite是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语the free form roof之间是主动关系,应用现在分词表示主动。故填inviting。
答案:inviting
9.解析:考查名词。句意:结合了中国传统设计的魅力和现代生活的丰富,这些酒店一定会给你一个难忘的经历和完美的度假。设空处作宾语,与名词charm是并列关系,应用名词richness,意为“丰富”。故填richness。
答案:richness

A British woman who won a $1 million prize after she was named the World's Best Teacher will use the cash to bring inspirational figures into UK schools.
Andria Zafirakou, a north London secondary school teacher, said she wanted to bring about a classroom revolution (变革). “We are going to make a change,” she said. “I've started a project to promote the teaching of the arts in our schools.”
The project results from the difficulties many schools have in getting artists of any sort—whether an up and coming local musician or a major movie star—into schools to work with and inspire children.
Zafirakou began the project at Alperton Community School, her place of work for the past twelve years. “I've seen those magic moments when children are talking to someone they are inspired by—their eyes are shining and their faces light up,” she said. “We need artists more than ever in our schools.”
Artist Michael Craig Martin said, “Andria's brilliant project to bring artists from all fields into direct contact with children is particularly welcome at a time when the arts are being downgraded in schools.” It was a mistake to see the arts as unnecessary, he added.
Historian Sir Simon Schama is also a supporter of the project. He said that arts education in schools was not just an add on. “It is absolutely necessary. The future depends on creativity and creativity depends on the young. What will remain of us when artificial intelligence takes over will be our creativity,and it is our creative spirit,our visionary sense of freshness, that has been our strength for centuries.”

[2023·全国乙卷]
What comes into your mind when you think of British food Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting Even though Britain has a reputation for less than impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.
It's thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat and two veg and ready made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain's consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.
According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients(配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK's obsession(痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it's no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国人在英国烹饪节目的影响下改变了对烹饪的看法,并尝试新的烹饪习惯。

But is British food really so uninteresting?(当你想到英国食物时,你会想到什么?你可能想到的是炸鱼薯条,或是一肉两菜的周日晚餐。但是,英国食物真的如此无趣吗?)”可知,提及英国食物,大家往往只是想到炸鱼薯条和周日烤肉,所以人们通常会觉得英国食物平平无奇。故选A项。

6.Which best describes cookery programme on British TV
A.Authoritative. B.Creative.

答案:D
7.Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now
A.20%. B.24%.
C.25%. D.33%.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients(配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before.(几乎三分之一的人表示他们现在使用的配料比以前更多,将近四分之一的人表示他们现在购买的配料质量比以前更好。)”可知,三分之一左右的人,也就是33%左右的人,使用的配料比以前更多。故选D项。
答案:D
8.What might the author continue talking about
A.The art of cooking in other countries.
B.Male chefs on TV programmes.

答案:B
Ⅳ.七选五
Being honest may not get you a lot of friends, but it will get you the right ones. That's true, so you should pursue authentic positivity in your friendships, the opposite of toxic(有毒的) positivity that would have you encouraging friends in all things, regardless of what you might feel or observe or know about the challenges of life. __1__
1.Ask questions.
A feature of authentic positivity is a curious mindset, a mentality where you are less locked into “telling it like it is” and more interested in wondering and exploring the possibilities together with your friend. __2__ If your friendship has a history of welcome advice giving, your question could be “Are you looking for ideas, or do you just want me to listen?”
2.__3__
“That's so disappointing” is sometimes the most positive thing you can say to your friend when they are struggling. Resisting the urge to say “It's all going to work out; don't worry” shows your friend that you see them in their pain, and that you are available to support them here and now. __4__ You can use “yes/and” statements like “What happened at work is so frustrating—AND I know how creative you are, so you'll find a way to move forward.”
3.Learn to apologize—and ask for an apology.
__5__ That includes you, too. Being authentic in a friendship means having the freedom to say to a friend, “I'm sorry I hurt you.” It also means being able to say, “Your words/actions hurt me.” Friendships that stand the test of time have room for mistakes, and for repair.
A.Name hard truths.
B.Don't disappoint your friend.
C.Every friend misses the mark sometimes.
D.Instead, friends should be authentic and positive.
E.Here are three ways to be an authentically positive friend.
F.But that doesn't mean you need to focus on the negative all the time.
G.Positive friends ask each other questions, and listen deeply to the answers.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何成为一个真正积极的朋友。
1.解析:上文“That's true, so you should pursue authentic positivity in your friendships, the opposite of toxic(有毒的) positivity that would have you encouraging friends in all things, regardless of what you might feel or observe or know about the challenges of life.(这是事实,所以你应该在你的友谊中追求真正的积极性,而不是有害的积极性。真正的积极性会让你在所有事情中一直鼓励朋友,无论你对生活中的挑战有什么样的感受、观察或了解。)”强调了友谊中追寻真正积极性的好处,下文段落小标题Ask questions.(提问问题。)和Learn to apologize—and ask for an apology.(学会道歉——并要求道歉。)详细介绍了如何成为一个真正积极的朋友。空处位于段尾,往往起着总结上文或承上启下的作用。E项“Here are three ways to be an authentically positive friend.(以下是三个可以让你成为一个真正积极的朋友的方法。)”呼应下文每一段的小标题,故选E。
答案:E
2.解析:本段的小标题Ask questions.(提问问题。)及空后“If your friendship has a history of welcome advice giving, your question could be ‘Are you looking for ideas, or do you just want me to listen?’(如果你的友谊存在一段可提供建议的历史,你的问题可以是“你是在寻求建议,还是只是想让我听听?”)”都在介绍要学会提问题。G项“Positive friends ask each other questions, and listen deeply to the answers.(积极的朋友会问对方问题并认真倾听对方的回答。)”符合本段主题,故选G。
答案:G
3.解析:空处位于小标题的位置。由本段“‘That's so disappointing’ is sometimes the most positive thing you can say to your friend when they are struggling. Resisting the urge to say ‘It's all going to work out; don't worry’ shows your friend that you see them in their pain, and that you are available to support them here and now.(有时候,“这太令人失望了”这句话是你在朋友挣扎时对他们说的最积极的话。克制住说“一切都会好起来的;别担心”的冲动,让你的朋友知道你看到了他们的痛苦,你可以随时支持他们。)”可知,作为真正积极的朋友,作者建议我们要敢于说出真实的情况。A项“Name hard truths.(说出残酷的真相。)”符合题意。选项中的hard呼应本段形容词disappointing,故选A。
答案:A
4.解析:上文“Resisting the urge to say ‘It's all going to work out; don't worry’ shows your friend that you see them in their pain, and that you are available to support them here and now.(克制住说“一切都会好起来的;别担心”的冲动,让你的朋友知道你看到了他们的痛苦,你可以随时支持他们。)”强调我们要敢于说出真相,哪怕是消极表达。下文“You can use ‘yes/and’ statements like ‘What happened at work is so frustrating—AND I know how creative you are, so you'll find a way to move forward.’(你可以使用“是/和”这样的语句,比如说,“工作中发生的事情太令人沮丧了,我知道你有多有创造力,所以你会找到前进的方法。”)”介绍了我们也可以对朋友说一些肯定的表达。上下文呈转折关系,所以F项“But that doesn't mean you need to focus on the negative all the time.(但是那并不意味着你需要一直关注消极的东西。)”符合题意,故选F。
答案:F
5.解析:本段的小标题Learn to apologize—and ask for an apology.(学会道歉——并要求道歉。)及空后“Friendships that stand the test of time have room for mistakes, and for repair.(经得起时间考验的友谊中都会存在犯错和可恢复的情况。)”描述了我们都会犯错,要学会道歉。C项“Every friend misses the mark sometimes.(每个朋友都有犯错的时候。)”符合题意,“miss the mark”和 mistake内容一致,故选C。
答案:C
Ⅴ.语法填空
The Center for Humane Technology is made up of people who used to work for big tech companies like Google,Facebook and Twitter. They want kids to stop 1.________ (use) those apps and websites so much.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一个活动 ——关于科技的真相,这次活动的意义在于教育学生、家长和老师,让他们认识到花太多时间在智能手机和电脑上的危险,从而希望孩子们停止使用那些应用程序和网站。
1.解析:考查动名词。句意:他们非常希望孩子们停止使用那些应用程序和网站。stop doing sth.“停止做某事”,符合句意。故填using。
答案:using
2.解析:考查代词。句意:它的目标是教育学生、家长和老师,让他们认识到花太多时间在智能手机和电脑上的危险。空后为名词,所以此处应用形容词性物主代词its。因处于句首,所以首字母要大写。故填Its。
答案:Its
3.解析:考查名词的数。句意同上题。设空前为冠词,所以此处要用名词。danger“危险”为可数名词,句中指花太多的时间在手机和电脑上的危险,所以要用复数。故填dangers。
答案:dangers
4.解析:考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:人道技术中心称,我们每天使用的应用程序和网站都是为了让我们尽可能多地在网上聊天、玩耍或观看而设计的。分析可知,空处在句中为谓语,结合句中says可知,时态应用一般现在时;从句中的主语the apps and websites为复数含义,与动词design之间为被动关系,所以此处design要用被动语态。故填are designed。
答案:are designed
5.解析:考查副词。句意:花太多时间上网的学生可能很容易发现很难集中精力做功课。空后为动词,所以此处用副词修饰动词。故填easily。
答案:easily
6.解析:考查固定短语。句意同上题。短语:focus on“专注于”,此处指学生很难集中注意力在学业上。故填on。
答案:on
7.解析:考查不定式。句意:儿童和青少年更容易出现这些问题,因为他们的大脑、身体和社交技能仍在发展中。短语:be likely to do sth.“可能做某事”,所以此处要用to have。故填to have。
答案:to have
8.解析:考查比较级。句意:关于科技活动的真相的一个目标是确保孩子们理解科技如何影响他们,以便他们能够做出更好的决定。空后为名词,所以此处要用形容词。根据句中“make sure that kids understand how technology affects them”可知,此处指孩子们知道了科技影响他们的方式后,他们就会做出更好的决定,所以要用形容词的比较级better。故填better。
答案:better
9.解析:考查并列连词。句意:发起这场运动的人还希望政府和科技公司采取措施保护儿童。分析可知,governments和“the tech companies”同为want的宾语,两者为并列关系,所以此处要用并列连词and。故填and。
答案:and
10.解析:考查宾语从句。句意:当大型科技公司的领导人为孩子们设计科技工具时,他们应该想想自己的孩子想要什么。分析可知,“10.________ they would want for their own children”为介词about的宾语从句,空处在宾语从句中作want的宾语,所以此处要用连接代词what。故填what。
答案:what
