A
(2024·河北保定高一下期中)
Imagine this: You’re at a movie theater food stand loading up on snacks.You have a choice of a small，medium or large soda.The small is $3.50 and the large is $5.50.It’s a tough decision: The small size may not last you through the whole movie，but $5.50 for some sugary drink seems unreasonable.But there’s a third option(选择)，a medium soda for $5.25.The medium might be just right for you，but the large only cost a quarter more.If you’re like the majority of people，you end up buying the large.
If you’re wondering who would purchase the medium soda，the answer is almost no one.Actually，there’s a good chance that the marketing department purposely priced the medium soda as a decoy(诱饵)，making you more likely to buy the large soda rather than the small.
I have written about this unique human nature previously with my friend Dan Ariely，who，after noticing pricing for subscription(订阅) to The Economist，studied this phenomenon extensively.The digital subscription was $59，the print subscription was $125，and the print plus digital subscription was also $125.No one in their right mind would buy the print subscription when you could get digital as well for the same price，so why was it even an option Ariely ran an experiment and found that when only the two “real” choices were offered，more people chose the less-expensive digital subscription.However，the bad option increased people’s likelihood of selecting the expensive print plus digital option.
Brain scientists call this effect “asymmetric dominance” and it means that people are attracted to the option that is closest to an obviously inferior(较差的) option.Marketing professors call it the decoy effect，which is certainly easier to remember.It works because of the way our brain assigns value when making choices.Value is rarely absolute; rather，we decide an object’s value relative to other choices.If more options are introduced，the value equation(方程) changes.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述的是一种诱饵效应：当我们在做出选择时，受大脑分配价值方式的影响，在有更多选择的时候，我们会被最接近较差选项的那个选项所吸引。
1．Why do the shops give the third option—the medium soda
A．To earn more money.
B．To offer people more choices.
C．To help people save some money.
D．To give people the right size of soda.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Actually，there’s a good chance that the marketing department purposely priced the medium soda as a decoy(诱饵)，making you more likely to buy the large soda rather than the small.”可知，商店会提供第三种选择——中杯苏打水是为了引导消费者购买更高利润的大杯汽水，也就是为了赚更多的钱，故选A。
2．What do we learn from Dan Ariely’s experiment
A．The Economist’s promotional strategy works.
B．Lower-priced goods attract more customers.
C．More readers choose the digital over the print edition.
D．The Economist’s print edition turns out to sell the best.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Ariely ran an experiment and found that when only the two ‘real’ choices were offered，more people chose the less-expensive digital subscription.However，the bad option increased people’s likelihood of selecting the expensive print plus digital option.”可知，实验结果表明，《经济学人》的促销方式应该是见效的。故选A。
3．What is “asymmetric dominance” according to brain scientists
A．People avoid bad options.
B．People prefer expensive options.
C．People choose the best quality option.
D．People like options close to inferior ones.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Brain scientists call this effect ‘asymmetric dominance’and it means that people are attracted to the option that is closest to an obviously inferior(较差的) option.”可知，脑科学家所说的“非对称优势”是指人们会被最接近一个明显较差选项的那个选项所吸引。故选D。
4．How do we often assess the value of a product according to the text
A．By considering its usefulness.
B．By comparing it with other choices.
C．By examining its former value.
D．By taking its low quality into account.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“However，the bad option increased people’s likelihood of selecting the expensive print plus digital option.”和最后一段中“Value is rarely absolute; rather，we decide an object’s value relative to other choices.If more options are introduced，the value equation(方程) changes.”可知，我们通常通过与其他选择进行比较来评估产品的价值。 故选B。

Brenda described herself as the daughter of two tireless farmers who immigrated from Mexico and spent most of their days working in fields of strawberries，blueberries，and cucumbers.“My motivation has been rooted in my immigrant culture.” Because of this，she chose to focus on that in her address.“Many students used to be ashamed of their upbringing but today，we’re proud of what makes us.”

Her speech has been viewed by thousands online.“Hearing it touched other people’s hearts who said they understood my message，I’m struck the same，” Brenda said later.The principal of Mulberry High School，Michael Young，was one member of the audience getting emotional.“The speech was very powerful—her fruit did help paint a good picture of things she wanted to convey，” Young said.

(2024·河北保定高一下期中)
Imagine this: You’re at a movie theater food stand loading up on snacks.You have a choice of a small，medium or large soda.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述的是一种诱饵效应：当我们在做出选择时，受大脑分配价值方式的影响，在有更多选择的时候，我们会被最接近较差选项的那个选项所吸引。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
The small is $3.50 and the large is $5.50.It’s a tough decision: The small size may not last you through the whole movie，but $5.50 for some sugary drink seems unreasonable.But there’s a third option(选择)，a medium soda for $5.25.The medium might be just right for you，but the large only cost a quarter more.If you’re like the majority of people，you end up buying the large.
If you’re wondering who would purchase the medium soda，the answer is almost no one.Actually，there’s a good chance that the marketing department purposely priced the medium soda as a decoy(诱饵)，making you more likely to buy the large soda rather than the small.
I have written about this unique human nature previously with my friend Dan Ariely，who，after noticing pricing for subscription(订阅) to The Economist，studied this phenomenon extensively.The digital subscription was $59，the print subscription was $125，and the print plus digital subscription was also $125.No one in their right mind would buy the print subscription when you could get digital as well for the same price，so why was it even an option Ariely ran an experiment and found that when only the two “real” choices were offered，more people chose the less-expensive digital subscription.However，the bad option increased people’s likelihood of selecting the expensive print plus digital option.
Brain scientists call this effect “asymmetric dominance” and it means that people are attracted to the option that is closest to an obviously inferior(较差的) option.Marketing professors call it the decoy effect，which is certainly easier to remember.It works because of the way our brain assigns value when making choices.Value is rarely absolute; rather，we decide an object’s value relative to other choices.If more options are introduced，the value equation(方程) changes.
1.Why do the shops give the third option—the medium soda
A.To earn more money.
B.To offer people more choices.
C.To help people save some money.
D.To give people the right size of soda.
√
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Actually，there’s a good chance that the marketing department purposely priced the medium soda as a decoy(诱饵)，making you more likely to buy the large soda rather than the small.”可知，商店会提供第三种选择——中杯苏打水是为了引导消费者购买更高利润的大杯汽水，也就是为了赚更多的钱，故选A。
解析
2.What do we learn from Dan Ariely’s experiment
A.The Economist’s promotional strategy works.
B.Lower-priced goods attract more customers.
C.More readers choose the digital over the print edition.
D.The Economist’s print edition turns out to sell the best.
√
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Ariely ran an experiment and found that when only the two ‘real’ choices were offered，more people chose the less-expensive digital subscription.However，the bad option increased people’s likelihood of selecting the expensive print plus digital option.”可知，实验结果表明，《经济学人》的促销方式应该是见效的。故选A。
解析
3.What is “asymmetric dominance” according to brain scientists
A.People avoid bad options.
B.People prefer expensive options.
C.People choose the best quality option.
D.People like options close to inferior ones.
√
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Brain scientists call this effect ‘asymmetric dominance’and it means that people are attracted to the option that is closest to an obviously inferior(较差的) option.”可知，脑科学家所说的“非对称优势”是指人们会被最接近一个明显较差选项的那个选项所吸引。故选D。
解析
4.How do we often assess the value of a product according to the text
A.By considering its usefulness.
B.By comparing it with other choices.
C.By examining its former value.
D.By taking its low quality into account.
√
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“However，the bad option increased people’s likelihood of selecting the expensive print plus digital option.”和最后一段中“Value is rarely absolute; rather，we decide an object’s value relative to other choices.If more options are introduced，the value equation(方程) changes.”可知，我们通常通过与其他选择进行比较来评估产品的价值。 故选B。
解析

A Florida teen is gaining national attention with her graduation speech and a basket of strawberries.“Care for some strawberries？” Brenda said at her graduation from Mulberry High School.After jokingly acknowledging there might not be enough，she went on，“These are no ordinary strawberries.” She held up a series of strawberries，revealing what each represents: sweat，dirt，aches，and pains.

She explained how she grew up under poor conditions.“I’m motivated by my parents’ hands that lose feeling from laborious work.Despite the hot sun and body pains，they back me up heart and soul in my education，which weighs more strongly with me than anything else.I must work hard and succeed.”
Brenda’s heading to Stanford University this fall.She also credited some of her academic achievements to her teacher Higgins，who helps immigrant students and the poor.
Her speech has been viewed by thousands online.“Hearing it touched other people’s hearts who said they understood my message，I’m struck the same，” Brenda said later.The principal of Mulberry High School，Michael Young，was one member of the audience getting emotional.“The speech was very powerful—her fruit did help paint a good picture of things she wanted to convey，” Young said.
As for her message to young people struggling，Brenda said，“Past circumstances aren’t in charge of your future.If you’re from a poor family，use every resource and try to better yourself.You’re the author of your story.”
