Institute of Psychology (心理研究所) 1141 Cumberland Avenue, Pittsburgh June 12th Volunteers are wanted for a study trying to find out the effect of aging on cognition (认知). Everyone’s cognition is characterised by “thinking styles”. Recent research has shown that older people use different thinking styles than younger people. The aim of this study is to investigate what these differences are, and to discover what are responsible for these differences. People from adult age groups will take part in the study. We are particularly eager to attract people between50 and 70, and especially men of this age, because usually fewer people in this group volunteer. If you choose to take part, you will be asked to complete a set of questionnaires and take
试卷第 3 页，共 14 页
an assessment at the institute. The assessment takes about 60 minutes, and includes computer and pen-and-paper puzzles (智力游戏) and tasks. For this, you can schedule a time that suits you. Volunteers will be repaid $40 for their time. If you think you might be interested in this project, we would like to hear from you. Contact Kylie Riordan at kylie-r@ or on 302-555-6773.
Dear Kylie, I would like to take part in your study. I took part in another cognition study at your institute six weeks ago, so I have some ideas of the kind of things I need to do. However, since it is now mid-September, you may have finished your study. If you do want me, I’m free on most weekends. I also want to know if you’ll pay travel costs. In the last study, they did not, but they said they were thinking of doing so in the future. If I take the train, it’ll cost me $5. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours, Melody cranberry

Many people confuse hard-working people with workaholics (工作狂). How could a person tell that he/ she is a workaholic A workaholic works long hours, at the expense of personal
relationships and health. When not working, they’re thinking about work. Work influences their mood: When work is going well, they’re up; when work is going less well, they’re down.
Working, or simply being busy, can be a hard habit to break. When workaholics aren’t busy working — or doing something to promote their work — they feel anxious and guilty. They hang onto jobs for dear life and do everything they can to make sure they’re essential.
There is a link between health problems and workaholism. Just because work itself is a
respectable pursuit doesn’t mean that an addiction to it is any less damaging than other sorts of
addictions. A number of studies show that workaholism has been associated with a wide range of health problems, such as anxiety and heart disease.
Besides health problems, being a workaholic brings other negative effects as well. A study published in the American Journal of Family Therapy found that working too much negatively
influenced an employee’s marriage. This isn’t surprising, since if you’re married to your work it can be difficult to be married to anything or anyone else. There have also been studies looking at the influence of workaholic parents on their children and the news isn’t good. Adult children of workaholic fathers experienced more depression and anxiety and a weaker sense of self.
However, there are also many positive aspects to working hard and to an increasing
devotion to career. Hard work can bring great rewards. For many, it’s how they develop feelings of self-worth, confidence and purpose. If you have a workaholic in your life you might point out the things he or she is missing out on while at work, whether it’s a child’s soccer game, a good book, or a yoga class. Seek to understand why the person feels the need to work so much and
support them in finding a solution.
4 ．What can we learn about workaholics from paragraph 1
A ．They put work in the first place. B ．They can balance life and work well.
C ．They are under pressure from work. D ．They win respect from their workmates.
试卷第 5 页，共 14 页
5 ．What are paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about
A ．Reasons for being workaholics.
B ．Ways to deal with work addiction.
C ．The potential harm of workaholism.
D ．The difference between hard-working people and workaholics.
6 ．What can we do to help workaholics in life
A ．Force them to join in family activities. B ．Reward them for their hard work.
C ．Help them find self-worth and confidence. D ．Try to understand and support them.
7 ．What is the author’s attitude toward working hard
A ．Doubtful. B ．Objective. C ．Negative. D ．Curious.
C
Beneath the forest floor lies an intricate hidden world that scientists are only beginning to understand. This isn’t a world of roots and dirt, but a vast, interconnected network of fungus (真菌). Known as mycelium (菌丝体), these thread-like structures form symbiotic (共生)
relationships with trees, creating what has been dubbed the “Wood Wide Web.”
For decades, ecologists viewed trees as solitary individuals competing for sunlight and soil resources. However, groundbreaking research by scientists like Suzanne Simard has revealed a
much more complex reality. Through the mycelium, trees are able to exchange nutrients, water,
and even chemical signals with one another. A dying tree, for instance, might offload its
remaining carbon reserves through the fungal network to its younger neighbors, giving them a
survival boost. Conversely, a tree under attack by insects can send out warning signals through the network, prompting nearby trees to produce defense chemicals.
This discovery has fundamentally shifted our understanding of forest ecosystems. Forests are not simply collections of individual trees; they are super-organisms. The fungal network acts as a central nervous system, connecting the whole community. Older, larger trees, often called
“hub trees” or “mother trees,” serve as the central nodes of this network, with hundreds of
connections to other trees. When a mother tree is damaged or logged, it can disrupt the flow of resources and information to the younger trees it supports, weakening the resilience of the entire forest.
试卷第 6 页，共 14 页
The implications of this research extend beyond ecology. Some technologists are now
looking at mycelium networks as a source of inspiration for designing more resilient and efficient communication networks. Unlike our current centralized internet, which can be vulnerable to
targeted attacks, a fungal-style network is decentralized. If one connection fails, information can simply reroute through countless other pathways. By mimicking nature’s time-tested designs, we might be able to build a better, stronger internet.
In essence, the “Wood Wide Web” reminds us that nature often operates on principles of cooperation and interdependence, rather than just survival of the fittest. As we face global
challenges like climate change and cybersecurity threats, looking to the wisdom beneath our feet might be a surprisingly fruitful approach.
8 ．What did ecologists traditionally believe about trees
A ．They communicated through fungus.
B ．They existed as independent competitors.
C ．They formed super-organisms with fungus.
D ．They shared resources for mutual benefits.
9 ．How does the “mother tree” function within the forest network
A ．It absorbs nutrients only for its own growth.
B ．It competes with younger trees for sunlight.
C ．It acts as a central hub for resource distribution.
D ．It sends warning signals to insects attacking it.
10 ．Why do technologists find mycelium networks inspiring
A ．Because they are faster than modern computers.
B ．Because they are centralized and easy to control.
C ．Because they demonstrate a decentralized structure.
D ．Because they can survive without any connections.
11 ．What is the main purpose of the passage
A ．To introduce a new discovery about forest communication.
B ．To argue against the theory of survival of the fittest.
C ．To explain how to build a better internet network.
D ．To compare tree roots with fungal threads.

The wisdom of the crowd is a phenomenon where the average estimate of a group of
individuals often turns out to be more accurate than that of any single expert. However, a new study suggests that this collective intelligence can be significantly enhanced by a simple
adjustment: allowing the crowd to talk.
Researchers from the University of Chicago and the University of California, Berkeley,
conducted an experiment to test the power of structured discussion. They gathered participants and asked them to estimate facts, such as the number of murders in Chicago last year or the population of Illinois. First, individuals made their own anonymous guesses. Then, they were divided into
small groups to discuss the questions and agree on a shared estimate. Finally, after the discussion, the individuals were again asked to provide their own personal, private estimates.
The results, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, were striking.
The researchers found that the “average of the averages” generated by the small discussion groups was significantly more accurate than the average of all the initial individual estimates. The
discussion seemed to iron out extreme errors and distill a more accurate collective judgement.
Why does this work When people discuss, they share information and arguments. A
person with a wildly inaccurate guess might be persuaded by the group’s collective reasoning to
adjust their view. Conversely, someone with a partially correct insight can share it, influencing the group’s final answer. This social learning process corrects individual biases. “The group
discussion allows people to realize, ‘Oh, I didn’t think of that factor,’” explained one of the lead researchers. “They are pooling their cognitive resources.”
Interestingly, the benefits of discussion didn’t stop with the group’s consensus. Even after the conversation ended, when individuals revised their own private estimates, these revised
guesses were also more accurate than their original ones. The knowledge gained during the
discussion stuck with them, leading to a lasting improvement in their individual judgment. This
finding challenges the traditional view of the “wisdom of the crowds,” which typically relies on independent, non-social estimates. It suggests that a little bit of conversation can go a long way in making us all a little bit wiser.
12 ．What is the traditional view of the “wisdom of the crowds”
试卷第 8 页，共 14 页
A ．It requires participants to be experts.
B ．It is based on independent and isolated judgments.
C ．It is less accurate than the estimate of a single expert.
D ．It works best when crowds are divided into small groups.
13 ．How was the experiment conducted to test the effect of discussion
A ．By comparing individual guessed with group-informed estimates.
B ．By asking groups to compete against each other for accuracy.
C ．By having experts evaluate the accuracy of group estimates.
D ．By analyzing the decision-making process in real-life juries.
14 ．What does the underlined word “distill” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A ．To confuse. B ．To complicate.
C ．To extract the best. D ．To ignore the details.
15 ．What can be concluded from the last paragraph about the effect of discussion
A ．It only improves the accuracy of the group consensus.
B ．It has a lasting positive impact on individual judgment.
C ．It makes individuals doubt their original knowledge permanently.
D ．It proves that traditional wisdom of crowds is completely wrong.

47 ．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was Christmas again. From the living room window, I watched my younger brother Roy climb out of the driver’s seat. His arrival brought me joy but also that familiar feeling of guilt
torturing me every Christmas.
The memory went back to the time when we were kids. Our parents had little money, and
even at Christmas we expected little. Then one December, after my father’s work injury, an
insurance settlement brought an unexpected fortune, which meant the most special Christmas with real presents for the first time in my nine-year-old life.
I knew exactly what I wanted: the cowgirl boots from every advertisement. Momma and Daddy put up our first real tree. Brightly wrapped gifts started to appear underneath it. But I only had eyes for a long box with my name on it, just the right size for boots. Every glimpse sent my heart racing. It was the Christmas I’d always dreamed of — until I ruined it.
Alone at home one afternoon, I secretly opened the box. Then my heart sank. Inside were no boots. In a desperate, unforgivable anger, I tore into other presents, one after another. Still no boots!
That evening, I heard my father yelled: “How could you ” Roy was being blamed. Sadly,
he was too young and afraid to say anything for himself. I also stayed silent, too ashamed and
afraid to tell even Roy the truth. Then Christmas came, and I couldn’t share my family’s
excitement when we sat cross-legged around the tree. “No use pretending you haven’t seen what’s inside,” Daddy said when Roy tore into a gift. I’d ruined Christmas for myself and for Roy, too.
试卷第 13 页，共 14 页
For decades, I carried the secret. I never shook a gift box before Christmas, and I feared opening presents with Roy nearby. But years later, that Christmas evening, over after-dinner
coffee, I found myself alone with my brother. Now is your chance, I e clean.注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Roy, I have something to tell you,” I said.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Understandingly, Roy looked at me with a big smile on his face.

structures form symbiotic (共生) relationships with trees, creating what has been dubbed the
“Wood Wide Web.”(在森林地表之下，有一个错综复杂的隐藏世界，科学家们才刚刚开始了解它。这不是一个由树根和泥土组成的世界，而是一个庞大的、相互连接的真菌网络。这些线状结构被称为菌丝体，与树木形成共生关系，形成了所谓的“森林互联网”)”可知，文章主要介绍了科学家发现森林中树木之间通过菌丝体网络进行交流和资源共享，形成了一个复杂的“森林互联网”，所以 A 项“To introduce a new discovery about forest communication.(介绍一项关于森林交流的新发现)”是文章的主要写作目的。故选 A 项。
12 ．B 13 ．A 14 ．C 15 ．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了群体讨论能提升“群体智慧”的准确性及其原因。
12．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This finding challenges the traditional view of the “wisdom of the crowds,” which typically relies on independent, non-social estimates.(这一发现挑战了传统的“群体智慧”观点，传统观点通常依赖于独立的、非社交性的估计)”可知，传统的群体智慧基于独立、孤立的判断。故选 B。
13 ．细节理解题。根据第二段中“First, individuals made their own anonymous guesses. Then, they were divided into small groups to discuss the questions and agree on a shared estimate.
Finally, after the discussion, the individuals were again asked to provide their own personal,
private estimates.(首先，个人做出自己的匿名猜测。然后，他们被分成小组讨论问题，并就共同的估计达成一致。最后， 在讨论结束后，参与者再次被要求给出个人独立的估计)”以及第三段中“The researchers found that the “average of the averages” generated by the small
discussion groups was significantly more accurate than the average of all the initial individual
estimates.(研究人员发现，小型讨论小组产生的“平均平均值”比所有初始个人估计的平均值要准确得多)”可知，实验是通过比较个人猜测与小组得出的估计来测试讨论的效果的。故选
A。
14 ．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The discussion seemed to iron out extreme errors and distill a more accurate collective judgement.(讨论似乎消除了极端错误，并 distill 更准确的集体判断)”可知，讨论似乎消除了极端错误，并提炼出更准确的集体判断，因此 distill 在此处的意思是“提炼出最好的”。故选 C。
15 ．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Interestingly, the benefits of discussion didn’t stop with the group’s consensus. Even after the conversation ended, when individuals revised their own private estimates, these revised guesses were also more accurate than their original ones. The knowledge
答案第 3 页，共 10 页
gained during the discussion stuck with them, leading to a lasting improvement in their individual judgment.(有趣的是，讨论的好处并不止于小组的共识。即使在讨论结束后，当个人修改他 们自己的私人估计时，这些修改后的猜测也比原来的更准确。在讨论中获得的知识一直伴随着他们，导致他们的个人判断得到持久的改善)”可知，讨论对个人判断有持久的积极影响。故选 B。
16 ．G 17 ．D 18 ．C 19 ．A 20 ．F
【导语】本文为说明文， 主要针对参与社区志愿者活动提出了四条建议，包括：发现自己的兴趣，研究当地相关机构，从小项目做起以及坚持不懈，旨在帮助人们更好地为社区做出贡献。
16 ．由上文“Volunteering is a great way to make a positive impact on the world around us. Not
only does it provide an opportunity to help others, but it allows us to connect with our community and create meaningful relationships with those we serve. (志愿服务是对我们周围的世界产生积 极影响的好方法。它不仅提供了一个帮助他人的机会，而且还使我们能够与社区建立联系，并与我们所服务的人建立有意义的关系)”和下文“Here are some tips to help you find your
passion and get involved in your community. (这里有一些建议可以帮助你找到你的激情，并参与到你的社区中来)”可知，上文谈及志愿者工作的益处，下文则提到本文将介绍一些如何帮助你找到你的激情，参与到社区工作中，由此推断此处可能会说找到热情所在的必要性，G项“Finding the right volunteer opportunity can be the first step in making a difference. (找到恰当的志愿者工作机会是开始的第一步)”能承上启下，符合语境。故选 G。
17．由下文“There are countless volunteer opportunities in every community, so finding something that matches your interests can make the experience more fulfilling. Consider your skills and
experience, as well as your hobbies and personal values. (每个社区都有无数的志愿者机会，所以找到符合你兴趣的东西会让你的经历更充实。考虑你的技能和经验， 以及你的爱好和个人价值观。)”可知，本段主要介绍了找到自己的兴趣点，考虑你的技能和经验，以及你的爱好和个人价值观。本空应强调人们要思考自己所热爱和关心的， D 项“Think about your passions and the causes you care about (想想你的热衷的事情和关心的事业)”能引出下文，符合语境。故选 D。
18 ．由上文“Look for local organizations that match your interests and values. Research their
mission statement, programs, and volunteer opportunities to find a good fit. Attend events or
meetings to learn more about the organization. (寻找符合你兴趣和价值观的当地组织。研究他
答案第 4 页，共 10 页
们的使命宣言、项目和志愿者机会，以找到合适的匹配。参加活动或会议，以更多地了解组织)”可知，上文建议人们参加一些活动或会议来更好地了解该机构，本空应强调人们了解组织时要了解什么，C 项“Discover what work they do in the community (弄清他们在社区做些什么工作)”鼓励读者去了解这些组织在社区中所做的工作，以便更好地选择适合自己的组织，能承接上文，符合语境。故选 C。
19．本题位于第四段小标题处，是本段内容的高度凝练，由下文“You don’t have to commit to a long-term volunteer project right away. Start with a minor project or event to get a feel for the
organization and their mission. This can also help you determine what type of volunteer work you enjoy and what you want to do more of in the future. (您不必立刻承诺参与长期的志愿服务项目。可以从一个小型项目或活动开始，以了解该组织及其使命。这也有助于您确定自己喜欢哪种类型的志愿工作以及未来想做更多什么类型的工作。)”可知，本段建议人们在选择项目时要从小事做起，避免一开始就参与一些长期的项目，A 项“Start small (从小事做起)”能概括本段主旨，符合语境。故选 A。
20 ．由上文“Consistency is key when it comes to volunteering. Find an opportunity that fits your schedule and commit to it on a regular basis. It can help the organization plan and manage their
resources. (在志愿服务中，一致性至关重要。找到一个符合您日程安排的机会，并定期投入其中。这不仅有助于组织更好地规划和管理资源)”可知，上文陈述一致性对组织的好处，本空应强调一致性对个人的好处，F 项“And it can also help you build relationships with the people you serve (它还可以帮助你与你所服务的人建立关系)”此处与前文构成语义递进关系，能承接上文，符合语境。故选 F。

47 ．Possible answer:
“Roy, I have something to tell you,” I said. His eyes met mine, and I saw his concern. “Do you remember that Christmas we got presents because of Dad’s insurance settlement ” Roy
frowned as if he had to think hard to remember. “Oh, sure. I haven’t thought about that for ages.” I took a deep breath and let it all out. “I have a confession. I was the one who opened the gifts. I let you take the blame. I’m so sorry. I was afraid of how mad you’d be ifI admitted the truth, and as time went on, it only got harder. Can you ever forgive me ” I held my breath, waiting for his
reaction.
Understandingly, Roy looked at me with a big smile on his face. “We have to admit that
fear makes cowards of us all,” he said with a smile, “so it is no big deal but a childhood
experience.” He leaned over and hugged me. “I forgive you. You shouldn’t have carried that all
these years.” His words echoed in my mind, and the heaviness lifted from my shoulders. I thought the Christmas of the insurance settlement had the potential for being the most special Christmas
ever, and truly it was, but in a different way.

Institute of Psychology (心理研究所) 1141 Cumberland Avenue, Pittsburgh June 12th Volunteers are wanted for a study trying to find out the effect of aging on cognition (认知). Everyone’s cognition is characterised by “thinking styles”. Recent research has shown that older people use different thinking styles than younger people. The aim of this study is to investigate what these differences are, and to discover what are responsible for these differences. People from adult age groups will take part in the study. We are particularly eager to attract people between50 and 70, and especially men of this age, because usually fewer people in this group volunteer. If you choose to take part, you will be asked to complete a set of questionnaires and take
试卷第 3 页，共 14 页
an assessment at the institute. The assessment takes about 60 minutes, and includes computer and pen-and-paper puzzles (智力游戏) and tasks. For this, you can schedule a time that suits you. Volunteers will be repaid $40 for their time. If you think you might be interested in this project, we would like to hear from you. Contact Kylie Riordan at kylie-r@ or on 302-555-6773.
Dear Kylie, I would like to take part in your study. I took part in another cognition study at your institute six weeks ago, so I have some ideas of the kind of things I need to do. However, since it is now mid-September, you may have finished your study. If you do want me, I’m free on most weekends. I also want to know if you’ll pay travel costs. In the last study, they did not, but they said they were thinking of doing so in the future. If I take the train, it’ll cost me $5. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours, Melody cranberry

Many people confuse hard-working people with workaholics (工作狂). How could a person tell that he/ she is a workaholic A workaholic works long hours, at the expense of personal
relationships and health. When not working, they’re thinking about work. Work influences their mood: When work is going well, they’re up; when work is going less well, they’re down.
Working, or simply being busy, can be a hard habit to break. When workaholics aren’t busy working — or doing something to promote their work — they feel anxious and guilty. They hang onto jobs for dear life and do everything they can to make sure they’re essential.
There is a link between health problems and workaholism. Just because work itself is a
respectable pursuit doesn’t mean that an addiction to it is any less damaging than other sorts of
addictions. A number of studies show that workaholism has been associated with a wide range of health problems, such as anxiety and heart disease.
Besides health problems, being a workaholic brings other negative effects as well. A study published in the American Journal of Family Therapy found that working too much negatively
influenced an employee’s marriage. This isn’t surprising, since if you’re married to your work it can be difficult to be married to anything or anyone else. There have also been studies looking at the influence of workaholic parents on their children and the news isn’t good. Adult children of workaholic fathers experienced more depression and anxiety and a weaker sense of self.
However, there are also many positive aspects to working hard and to an increasing
devotion to career. Hard work can bring great rewards. For many, it’s how they develop feelings of self-worth, confidence and purpose. If you have a workaholic in your life you might point out the things he or she is missing out on while at work, whether it’s a child’s soccer game, a good book, or a yoga class. Seek to understand why the person feels the need to work so much and
support them in finding a solution.
4 ．What can we learn about workaholics from paragraph 1
A ．They put work in the first place. B ．They can balance life and work well.
C ．They are under pressure from work. D ．They win respect from their workmates.
试卷第 5 页，共 14 页
5 ．What are paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about
A ．Reasons for being workaholics.
B ．Ways to deal with work addiction.
C ．The potential harm of workaholism.
D ．The difference between hard-working people and workaholics.
6 ．What can we do to help workaholics in life
A ．Force them to join in family activities. B ．Reward them for their hard work.
C ．Help them find self-worth and confidence. D ．Try to understand and support them.
7 ．What is the author’s attitude toward working hard
A ．Doubtful. B ．Objective. C ．Negative. D ．Curious.
C
Beneath the forest floor lies an intricate hidden world that scientists are only beginning to understand. This isn’t a world of roots and dirt, but a vast, interconnected network of fungus (真菌). Known as mycelium (菌丝体), these thread-like structures form symbiotic (共生)
relationships with trees, creating what has been dubbed the “Wood Wide Web.”
For decades, ecologists viewed trees as solitary individuals competing for sunlight and soil resources. However, groundbreaking research by scientists like Suzanne Simard has revealed a
much more complex reality. Through the mycelium, trees are able to exchange nutrients, water,
and even chemical signals with one another. A dying tree, for instance, might offload its
remaining carbon reserves through the fungal network to its younger neighbors, giving them a
survival boost. Conversely, a tree under attack by insects can send out warning signals through the network, prompting nearby trees to produce defense chemicals.
This discovery has fundamentally shifted our understanding of forest ecosystems. Forests are not simply collections of individual trees; they are super-organisms. The fungal network acts as a central nervous system, connecting the whole community. Older, larger trees, often called
“hub trees” or “mother trees,” serve as the central nodes of this network, with hundreds of
connections to other trees. When a mother tree is damaged or logged, it can disrupt the flow of resources and information to the younger trees it supports, weakening the resilience of the entire forest.

The implications of this research extend beyond ecology. Some technologists are now
looking at mycelium networks as a source of inspiration for designing more resilient and efficient communication networks. Unlike our current centralized internet, which can be vulnerable to
targeted attacks, a fungal-style network is decentralized. If one connection fails, information can simply reroute through countless other pathways. By mimicking nature’s time-tested designs, we might be able to build a better, stronger internet.
In essence, the “Wood Wide Web” reminds us that nature often operates on principles of cooperation and interdependence, rather than just survival of the fittest. As we face global
challenges like climate change and cybersecurity threats, looking to the wisdom beneath our feet might be a surprisingly fruitful approach.

The wisdom of the crowd is a phenomenon where the average estimate of a group of
individuals often turns out to be more accurate than that of any single expert. However, a new study suggests that this collective intelligence can be significantly enhanced by a simple
adjustment: allowing the crowd to talk.
Researchers from the University of Chicago and the University of California, Berkeley,
conducted an experiment to test the power of structured discussion. They gathered participants and asked them to estimate facts, such as the number of murders in Chicago last year or the population of Illinois. First, individuals made their own anonymous guesses. Then, they were divided into
small groups to discuss the questions and agree on a shared estimate. Finally, after the discussion, the individuals were again asked to provide their own personal, private estimates.
The results, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, were striking.
The researchers found that the “average of the averages” generated by the small discussion groups was significantly more accurate than the average of all the initial individual estimates. The
discussion seemed to iron out extreme errors and distill a more accurate collective judgement.
Why does this work When people discuss, they share information and arguments. A
person with a wildly inaccurate guess might be persuaded by the group’s collective reasoning to
adjust their view. Conversely, someone with a partially correct insight can share it, influencing the group’s final answer. This social learning process corrects individual biases. “The group
discussion allows people to realize, ‘Oh, I didn’t think of that factor,’” explained one of the lead researchers. “They are pooling their cognitive resources.”
Interestingly, the benefits of discussion didn’t stop with the group’s consensus. Even after the conversation ended, when individuals revised their own private estimates, these revised
guesses were also more accurate than their original ones. The knowledge gained during the
discussion stuck with them, leading to a lasting improvement in their individual judgment. This
finding challenges the traditional view of the “wisdom of the crowds,” which typically relies on independent, non-social estimates. It suggests that a little bit of conversation can go a long way in making us all a little bit wiser.
12 ．What is the traditional view of the “wisdom of the crowds”
试卷第 8 页，共 14 页
A ．It requires participants to be experts.
B ．It is based on independent and isolated judgments.
C ．It is less accurate than the estimate of a single expert.
D ．It works best when crowds are divided into small groups.
13 ．How was the experiment conducted to test the effect of discussion
A ．By comparing individual guessed with group-informed estimates.
B ．By asking groups to compete against each other for accuracy.
C ．By having experts evaluate the accuracy of group estimates.
D ．By analyzing the decision-making process in real-life juries.
14 ．What does the underlined word “distill” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A ．To confuse. B ．To complicate.
C ．To extract the best. D ．To ignore the details.
15 ．What can be concluded from the last paragraph about the effect of discussion
A ．It only improves the accuracy of the group consensus.
B ．It has a lasting positive impact on individual judgment.
C ．It makes individuals doubt their original knowledge permanently.
D ．It proves that traditional wisdom of crowds is completely wrong.

47 ．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was Christmas again. From the living room window, I watched my younger brother Roy climb out of the driver’s seat. His arrival brought me joy but also that familiar feeling of guilt
torturing me every Christmas.
The memory went back to the time when we were kids. Our parents had little money, and
even at Christmas we expected little. Then one December, after my father’s work injury, an
insurance settlement brought an unexpected fortune, which meant the most special Christmas with real presents for the first time in my nine-year-old life.
I knew exactly what I wanted: the cowgirl boots from every advertisement. Momma and Daddy put up our first real tree. Brightly wrapped gifts started to appear underneath it. But I only had eyes for a long box with my name on it, just the right size for boots. Every glimpse sent my heart racing. It was the Christmas I’d always dreamed of — until I ruined it.
Alone at home one afternoon, I secretly opened the box. Then my heart sank. Inside were no boots. In a desperate, unforgivable anger, I tore into other presents, one after another. Still no boots!
That evening, I heard my father yelled: “How could you ” Roy was being blamed. Sadly,
he was too young and afraid to say anything for himself. I also stayed silent, too ashamed and
afraid to tell even Roy the truth. Then Christmas came, and I couldn’t share my family’s
excitement when we sat cross-legged around the tree. “No use pretending you haven’t seen what’s inside,” Daddy said when Roy tore into a gift. I’d ruined Christmas for myself and for Roy, too.

For decades, I carried the secret. I never shook a gift box before Christmas, and I feared opening presents with Roy nearby. But years later, that Christmas evening, over after-dinner
coffee, I found myself alone with my brother. Now is your chance, I e clean.注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右；

47 ．Possible answer:
“Roy, I have something to tell you,” I said. His eyes met mine, and I saw his concern. “Do you remember that Christmas we got presents because of Dad’s insurance settlement ” Roy
frowned as if he had to think hard to remember. “Oh, sure. I haven’t thought about that for ages.” I took a deep breath and let it all out. “I have a confession. I was the one who opened the gifts. I let you take the blame. I’m so sorry. I was afraid of how mad you’d be ifI admitted the truth, and as time went on, it only got harder. Can you ever forgive me ” I held my breath, waiting for his
reaction.
Understandingly, Roy looked at me with a big smile on his face. “We have to admit that
fear makes cowards of us all,” he said with a smile, “so it is no big deal but a childhood
experience.” He leaned over and hugged me. “I forgive you. You shouldn’t have carried that all
these years.” His words echoed in my mind, and the heaviness lifted from my shoulders. I thought the Christmas of the insurance settlement had the potential for being the most special Christmas
ever, and truly it was, but in a different way.
