B
It was a week after my mm had passed away and I didn’t knw hw t g n with life. S when I received an email frm a friend abut a race benefiting cancer research, I ignred it. It seemed t prick my heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mther away frm me.
But smething abut my friend’s wrds—“I can help rganize the whle thing”—stuck with me. I felt bliged（有义务的）t agree. In the weeks t cme, I managed t re-enter the wrld f the living. I checked ur team’s website daily, feeling prud each time a dnatin ticked up ur ttal. I knew my mm wuld have wanted it that way. She was the type wh never gt defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.
When the race ended, I nticed the runners all had ne thing in cmmn: There were big smiles n their faces. They made it lk s rewarding and effrtless. I wanted in.
S I enrlled in anther race tw mnths later. Cnsidering I culd barely run a mile, it was ambitius. But my friend and I made a training plan s I wuldn’t cme in last. I fllwed it religiusly and didn’t let anything get in my way.
Running up and dwn the city’s hills, I was flded with memries. I had lived there after cllege and my mther had visited ften. I passed Blmingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gtten int a screaming argument there.
I was abut t beat myself up when I remembered what Mm had said after her diagnsis f cancer. “I dn’t want yu t feel guilty abut anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted frm my shulders.
When the race day arrived, I gave it my all fr my mm and fr all she had taught me and cntinued t teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slwing dwn, I pictured her cheering me n.
Crssing the finish line, I was filled with her lve and a sense f peace.

B. She had n time t jin in the event.

C. The pleasure in ging fr a run.D. The success in rganizing an event.
27. Which f the wrds can best describe the authr’s mm?

C. Strng-willed and caring.D. Outging and patient.

A. Hw I Gt Healed in RunningB. The Lss f Sweet Memries
C. What Matters Mst in RunningD. The Rewards f Great Friendship
C
We rely n ur memry nt nly fr sharing stries with friends r learning frm ur past experiences, but we als use it fr crucial things like creating a sense f persnal identity. Yet evidence shws that ur memry isn’t as cnsistent as we’d like t believe.
There are cuntless reasns why tiny mistakes might happen each time we recall past events, ranging frm what we believe is true r wish were true, t what smene else tld us abut the past event, r what we want that persn t think.
And whenever these mistakes happen, they can have lng-term effects n hw we’ll recall that memry in the future.
Take strytelling fr example. When we describe ur memries t ther peple, we might ask urselves whether it’s vital t get the facts straight, r whether we nly want t make the listener laugh. And we might change the stry’s details depending n the listener’s attitudes. It isn’t nly the message that changes, but smetimes it’s als the memry itself. This is knwn as the “audience-tuning effect”, shwing us hw ur memries can change autmatically ver time, as a prduct f hw, when, and why we access them.
In fact, smetimes simply the act f rehearsing(复述) a memry can be exactly what makes it susceptible(易受影响的)t change. This is knwn as “retrieval-enhanced suggestibility”. In a typical study f this effect, participants watched a shrt film, then tk a memry test a few days later. But during the days between watching the film and taking the final test, tw ther things happened. First, half f the participants tk a practice memry test. Secnd, all f the participants were given a descriptin f the film t read, which cntained sme false details. Participants wh tk a practice memry test shrtly befre reading the false infrmatin were mre likely t reprduce this false infrmatin in the final memry test.
Why might this be? One thery is that rehearsing ur memries f past events can temprarily make thse memries malleable. In ther wrds, retrieving(找回)a memry might be a bit like taking ice-cream ut f the freezer and leaving it in direct sunlight fr a while. By the time ur memry ges back int the freezer, it might have naturally becme a little misshapen, especially if smene has influenced it purpsely in the meantime.
These findings lead us t wnder hw much ur mst treasured memries have changed since the very first time we remembered them. Remembering is an act f strytelling, after all. And ur memries are nly ever as reliable as the mst recent stry we tld urselves.
29. Accrding t the “audience-tuning effect”, ur memries can ________.
Achange ur persnal identityB. crrect mistakes n their wn
C. determine ur attitudes t thersD. be affected by hw we handle them
30. What can we infer frm the study f “retrieval-enhanced suggestibility”?
A. Practice can make imperfect.B. Strytelling brings back memries.
C. Rehearsing cntributes t better memries.D. Memry abilities vary frm persn t persn.
31. What des the underlined wrd “malleable” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Acceptable.B. Valuable.C. Changeable.D. Cntrllable.
D
Over millins f years humans have respnded t certain situatins withut thinking t hard. If ur ancestrs sptted mvement in the nearby frest, they wuld run first and questin later. At the same time, the ability t analyze and t plan is part f what separates us frm ther animals. The questin f when t trust yur instinct (直觉)and when t think slw matters in the ffice as much as in the savannah(草原).
Slw thinking is the feature f a well-managed wrkplace. Yet instinct als has its place. Sme decisins are mre cnnected t emtinal respnses and less t analysis. In demanding custmer-service r public-facing situatins, instinct is ften a better guide t hw t behave.
Instinct can als be imprved. Plenty f research has shwn that instinct becmes mre unerring with experience. In ne well-knwn experiment, vlunteers were asked t assess whether a selectin f designer handbags were real r nt. Sme were instructed t perate n instinct and thers t deliberate(深思熟虑)ver their decisin. Instinct wrked better fr thse wh wned at least three designer handbags; indeed, it utperfrmed analysis. The mre expert yu becme, the better yur instinct tends t be.
Hwever, the real reasn t embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast. It is ften the nly way t get thrugh the day. T take ne example, when yur inbx flds with new emails at the start f a new day, there is abslutely n way t read them all carefully. Instinct is what helps yu decide which nes t answer and which t delete r leave unpened. Fast thinking can als help the entire rganizatin. The value f many managerial decisins lies in the simple fact that they have been made at all. Yet as data expldes, the temptatin(诱惑)t ask fr ne mre bit f analysis has becme much harder t resist. Managers ften suffer frm verthinking, turning a simple prblem int a cmplex ne.
When t use instinct in the wrkplace rests n its wn frm f pattern recgnitin. Des the decisin maker have real expertise in this area? Is this a field in which emtin matters mre than reasning? Abve all, is it wrth delaying the decisin? Slw thinking is needed t get the big calls right. But fast thinking is the way t stp deliberatin turning t a waste f time.
32. What des the underlined wrd “unerring” in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Accurate.B. Creative.C. Cntrllable.D. Obvius.
33. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Managers can affrd the cst f slw thinking.
B. Fast thinking can be a bst t wrk efficiency.
C. Slw thinking will hld us back in the lng run.
D. T much data is t blame fr wrng decisins.
34What is the authr's purpse f writing the passage?
A. T explain hw instinct wrks.
B. T cmpare instinct and slw thinking.
C. T highlight the value f instinct in the wrkplace.
D. T illustrate the develpment f different thinking patterns.

It wn’t sund like a big surprise when I tell yu that kindness plays an imprtant rle in a persn’s wellbeing. It can lead t changes like higher self-esteem(自尊心) and lwer bld pressure. Even just witnessing acts f kindness can make us happier.
____35____ “Frm giving away a cup f ht chclate in a park t giving away a gift in the lab, thse perfrming an act f kindness cnsistently underestimated hw psitive their receivers wuld feel, thinking their act was f less value than receivers perceived it t be,” states a study.
____36____ Yet, why is there this difference between what we think smene will feel frm an act f kindness versus what they d feel? Why d we underestimate the impact we have n thers?
Many f us dn’t have a real sense f ur value. It’s been estimated that as many as 85 percent f peple struggle with lw self-esteem. ____37____ This “vice” tends t shift ur fcus inward assessing ur every mve, and having bad effect n ur relatinships.
Unlike a cnscience(良心), this inner critic desn’t mtivate psitive behavir. ____38____ It encurages us t hld back feeding us thughts like, “Dn’t stick yur neck ut”: “N ne wants t hear frm yu”; and “Yu’re ging t make a fl f yurself.”
One wnderful way t fight against ur critical inner vice is thrugh acts f being kind t thers. ____39____ We must als try t see urselves thrugh the eyes f the peple we affect. The degree t which we’re able t d that will help determine ur wn happiness alng with the happiness we light up in thers.
A. Hwever, the wrk desn’t stp there.
B. Peple may lwer the value f their wn kind cmments.
C. We all carry arund a “critical inner vice” that tends t put us dwn.
D. Instead f seeing what we have t ffer, we may think f urselves as a burden.
E. This misunderstanding suggests that peple devalue their wn actins in relatin t thers.
F. Instead, it turns us against urselves, making us underestimate ur beneficial effect n thers.
G. Yet, peple may nt truly knw the impact that even the smallest f kind acts can have n anther persn.

S I enrlled in anther race tw mnths later. Cnsidering I culd barely run a mile, it was ambitius. But my friend and I made a training plan s I wuldn’t cme in last. I fllwed it religiusly and didn’t let anything get in my way.
Running up and dwn the city’s hills, I was flded with memries. I had lived there after cllege and my mther had visited ften. I passed Blmingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gtten int a screaming argument there.

When the race day arrived, I gave it my all fr my mm and fr all she had taught me and cntinued t teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slwing dwn, I pictured her cheering me n.

We rely n ur memry nt nly fr sharing stries with friends r learning frm ur past experiences, but we als use it fr crucial things like creating a sense f persnal identity. Yet evidence shws that ur memry isn’t as cnsistent as we’d like t believe.
There are cuntless reasns why tiny mistakes might happen each time we recall past events, ranging frm what we believe is true r wish were true, t what smene else tld us abut the past event, r what we want that persn t think.
And whenever these mistakes happen, they can have lng-term effects n hw we’ll recall that memry in the future.
Take strytelling fr example. When we describe ur memries t ther peple, we might ask urselves whether it’s vital t get the facts straight, r whether we nly want t make the listener laugh. And we might change the stry’s details depending n the listener’s attitudes. It isn’t nly the message that changes, but smetimes it’s als the memry itself. This is knwn as the “audience-tuning effect”, shwing us hw ur memries can change autmatically ver time, as a prduct f hw, when, and why we access them.
In fact, smetimes simply the act f rehearsing(复述) a memry can be exactly what makes it susceptible(易受影响的)t change. This is knwn as “retrieval-enhanced suggestibility”. In a typical study f this effect, participants watched a shrt film, then tk a memry test a few days later. But during the days between watching the film and taking the final test, tw ther things happened. First, half f the participants tk a practice memry test. Secnd, all f the participants were given a descriptin f the film t read, which cntained sme false details. Participants wh tk a practice memry test shrtly befre reading the false infrmatin were mre likely t reprduce this false infrmatin in the final memry test.
Why might this be? One thery is that rehearsing ur memries f past events can temprarily make thse memries malleable. In ther wrds, retrieving(找回)a memry might be a bit like taking ice-cream ut f the freezer and leaving it in direct sunlight fr a while. By the time ur memry ges back int the freezer, it might have naturally becme a little misshapen, especially if smene has influenced it purpsely in the meantime.
These findings lead us t wnder hw much ur mst treasured memries have changed since the very first time we remembered them. Remembering is an act f strytelling, after all. And ur memries are nly ever as reliable as the mst recent stry we tld urselves.
29. Accrding t the “audience-tuning effect”, ur memries can ________.
A. change ur persnal identityB. crrect mistakes n their wn
C. determine ur attitudes t thersD. be affected by hw we handle them
30. What can we infer frm the study f “retrieval-enhanced suggestibility”?
A. Practice can make imperfect.B. Strytelling brings back memries.
C. Rehearsing cntributes t better memries.D. Memry abilities vary frm persn t persn.
31. What des the underlined wrd “malleable” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Acceptable.B. Valuable.C. Changeable.D. Cntrllable.
【答案】29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。通过实验研究证明反复的回忆会使记忆发生改变。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“This is knwn as the “audience-tuning effect”, shwing us hw ur memries can change autmatically ver time, as a prduct f hw, when, and why we access them.(这就是所谓的“观众调谐效应”，它向我们展示了我们的记忆是如何随着时间的推移而自动变化的，这是我们如何、何时以及为什么读取记忆的结果)”可知，我们处理记忆的方式会影响我们的记忆。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第一句“In fact, smetimes simply the act f rehearsing(复述)a memry can be exactly what makes it susceptible(易受影响的)t change. (事实上，有时仅仅是复述记忆的行为就能使记忆容易改变。)”结合本段中的实验结果可知，复述记忆次数多的受试者更容易改变记忆。由此可推知，经常回忆并不会完美的重现记忆。故选A。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段最后两句“By the time ur memry ges back int the freezer, it might have naturally becme a little misshapen, especially if smene has influenced it purpsely in the meantime.(当我们的记忆回到冰库时，它可能会自然而然地变得有点畸形，特别是如果有人同时有意的影响它)”可知，这里将记忆与取出冰箱的冰激凌作类比，冰激凌会融化变形，记忆也一样会发生改变。由此可推知，划线词malleable与changeable同义，表示“可变的”。故选C。
D
Over millins f years humans have respnded t certain situatins withut thinking t hard. If ur ancestrs sptted mvement in the nearby frest, they wuld run first and questin later. At the same time, the ability t analyze and t plan is part f what separates us frm ther animals. The questin f when t trust yur instinct (直觉)and when t think slw matters in the ffice as much as in the savannah(草原).
Slw thinking is the feature f a well-managed wrkplace. Yet instinct als has its place. Sme decisins are mre cnnected t emtinal respnses and less t analysis. In demanding custmer-service r public-facing situatins, instinct is ften a better guide t hw t behave.
Instinct can als be imprved. Plenty f research has shwn that instinct becmes mre unerring with experience. In ne well-knwn experiment, vlunteers were asked t assess whether a selectin f designer handbags were real r nt. Sme were instructed t perate n instinct and thers t deliberate(深思熟虑)ver their decisin. Instinct wrked better fr thse wh wned at least three designer handbags; indeed, it utperfrmed analysis. The mre expert yu becme, the better yur instinct tends t be.
Hwever, the real reasn t embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast. It is ften the nly way t get thrugh the day. T take ne example, when yur inbx flds with new emails at the start f a new day, there is abslutely n way t read them all carefully. Instinct is what helps yu decide which nes t answer and which t delete r leave unpened. Fast thinking can als help the entire rganizatin. The value f many managerial decisins lies in the simple fact that they have been made at all. Yet as data expldes, the temptatin(诱惑)t ask fr ne mre bit f analysis has becme much harder t resist. Managers ften suffer frm verthinking, turning a simple prblem int a cmplex ne.
When t use instinct in the wrkplace rests n its wn frm f pattern recgnitin. Des the decisin maker have real expertise in this area? Is this a field in which emtin matters mre than reasning? Abve all, is it wrth delaying the decisin? Slw thinking is needed t get the big calls right. But fast thinking is the way t stp deliberatin turning t a waste f time.
32. What des the underlined wrd “unerring” in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Accurate.B. Creative.C. Cntrllable.D. Obvius.
33. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Managers can affrd the cst f slw thinking.
B. Fast thinking can be a bst t wrk efficiency.
C. Slw thinking will hld us back in the lng run.
D. T much data is t blame fr wrng decisins.
34. What is the authr's purpse f writing the passage?
A. T explain hw instinct wrks.
B. T cmpare instinct and slw thinking.
C. T highlight the value f instinct in the wrkplace.
D. T illustrate the develpment f different thinking patterns.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要论述了直觉在工作场所的应用价值。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第三段第一句“Instinct can als be imprved.”（直觉能够被改善。）及最后一句“The mre expert yu becme, the better yur instinct tends t be.”（你变得越熟练，直觉越准确。）说明随着熟练度的提高，直觉也会越来越准确。故“unerring”应是“无偏差的，精确的”意思。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段第四句第五句“Instinct is what helps yu decide which nes t answer and which t delete r leave unpened. Fast thinking can als help the entire rganizatin. ”（直觉能够帮助你决定哪些邮件需要回复，哪些需要删除，哪些不用打开。快速思考也对整个组织有益。）可知快速思考可以提高工作效率，避免在不重要的事情上浪费时间。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句“The questin f when t trust yur instinct (直觉 )and when t think slw matters in the ffice as much as in the savannah (草原)”.（什么时候应该相信你的直觉及什么时候应该缓慢思考的问题在办公室和在大草原上一样重要。）可知，在工作场所，直觉也是很重要的。结合最后一段第一句“When t use instinct in the wrkplace rests n its wn frm f pattern recgnitin. ”（什么时候在工作场所使用直觉取决于其自身的识别模式。）可知要具体分析在工作场所使用直觉的情况。联系全文内容可知，本文主要强调了直觉在工作场所的应用价值。故选C项。
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It wn’t sund like a big surprise when I tell yu that kindness plays an imprtant rle in a persn’s wellbeing. It can lead t changes like higher self-esteem(自尊心) and lwer bld pressure. Even just witnessing acts f kindness can make us happier.
____35____ “Frm giving away a cup f ht chclate in a park t giving away a gift in the lab, thse perfrming an act f kindness cnsistently underestimated hw psitive their receivers wuld feel, thinking their act was f less value than receivers perceived it t be,” states a study.
____36____ Yet, why is there this difference between what we think smene will feel frm an act f kindness versus what they d feel? Why d we underestimate the impact we have n thers?
Many f us dn’t have a real sense f ur value. It’s been estimated that as many as 85 percent f peple struggle with lw self-esteem. ____37____ This “vice” tends t shift ur fcus inward assessing ur every mve, and having bad effect n ur relatinships.

D. Instead f seeing what we have t ffer, we may think f urselves as a burden.
E. This misunderstanding suggests that peple devalue their wn actins in relatin t thers.
F. Instead, it turns us against urselves, making us underestimate ur beneficial effect n thers.
G. Yet, peple may nt truly knw the impact that even the smallest f kind acts can have n anther persn.
【答案】35. G 36. E 37. C 38. F 39. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了善良在一个人的幸福中起着重要作用时，这听起来并不是一个大惊喜。然而令人惊讶的却是，人们可能并不真正知道哪怕是最小的善举也会对另一个人产生什么影响。这是因为一种“内心批判”在促使人们贬低自己对他人产生的价值。要摒弃掉自我内心批判，同时看到对他人的积极影响，能够做到这一点的程度将有助于决定我们自己的幸福以及我们在他人身上点燃的幸福。
【35题详解】
设空句为该段主旨句，后文内容时对其具体的解释。根据后文“‘Frm giving away a cup f ht chclate in a park t giving away a gift in the lab, thse perfrming an act f kindness cnsistently underestimated hw psitive their receivers wuld feel, thinking their act was f less value than receivers perceived it t be,’ states a study.(一项研究称：“从在公园里送一杯热巧克力到在实验室里送一份礼物，那些表现出善意的人总是低估了接受者的积极感受，认为他们的行为没有接受者想象的那么有价值。”)”可知，该部分强调表现善意的人低估了自己的行为对他人的影响。选项G“Yet, peple may nt truly knw the impact that even the smallest f kind acts can have n anther persn.(然而，人们可能并不真正知道哪怕是最小的善举也会对另一个人产生什么影响。)”在句意上贴合该段主旨，“even the smallest f kind acts(甚至是最小的善举)”对应后文的“Frm giving away a cup f ht chclate in a park t giving away a gift in the lab(从在公园里送一杯热巧克力到在实验室里送一份礼物)”。故选G项。
【36题详解】
根据后文“Yet, why is there this difference between what we think smene will feel frm an act f kindness versus what they d feel? Why d we underestimate the impact we have n thers?(然而，为什么我们认为某人会从善意行为中感受到的与他们的真实感受之间存在差异？为什么我们低估了我们对他人的影响？)”提出了一系列的疑问并结合上文内容可推知，设空句应是一个结论句，且上文内容有关，应包含关键词“underestimate(低估，看轻)”含义。选项E“This misunderstanding suggests that peple devalue their wn actins in relatin t thers.(这种误解表明，人们贬低自己与他人的关系。)”中主语“This misunderstanding”指代上一段内容，在句意上是针对上文得出的结论，且“devalue”对应“underestimate”，符合词汇复现原则。故选E项。
【37题详解】
根据后文“This ‘vice’ tends t shift ur fcus inward assessing ur every mve, and having bad effect n ur relatinships.(这种“声音”倾向于将我们的注意力转移到评估我们的一举一动，并对我们的关系产生不良影响。) ”为第二次提出这种“声音”，说明设空句应是首次提到这种“声音”，且是一种产生消极影响的声音。选项C“We all carry arund a “critical inner vice” that tends t put us dwn.(我们都有一种“批判的内心声音”，这种声音往往会让我们失望。)”提出了名词“批判的内心声音”，符合分析。故选C项。
【38题详解】
根据前文“Unlike a cnscience, this inner critic desn’t mtivate psitive behavir.(与良心不同，这种内心的批评不会激发积极的行为。)”提出了“内心批判”是消极的，由此可推知，设空句应进一步强调其消极性的具体影响，同时包含话题“贬低自己的影响”。选项F“Instead, it turns us against urselves, making us underestimate ur beneficial effect n thers. (相反，它使我们与自己作对，使我们低估了自己对他人的有益影响。)”讲到了内心批判对自己和对他人具体消极影响，且“Instead”与前文构成反义转折关系，前后衔接紧密。故选F项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“One wnderful way t fight against ur critical inner vice is thrugh acts f being kind t thers.(对抗我们批判的内心声音的一个好方法是善待他人。)”提到了一个抵制内心批判的方式，后文“We must als try t see urselves thrugh the eyes f the peple we affect.(我们还必须努力通过我们所影响的人的眼睛来看待自己。)”则提到了下一个步骤，由此可推知，设空句应是转折句，说明不仅仅有第一步，以承接后文。选项A“Hwever, the wrk desn’t stp there.(然而，这项工作并不止于此。)”为转折句，“the wrk”呼应前文内容，在句意上承接后文。故选A项。
第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分）
第一节（共 12小题, 共 18 分）
阅读下面文段，在设空处填入恰当的词汇或短语。请在答题卡指定区域作答。

【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：我乘公共汽车回家通常要花20分钟。我经常利用这段时间复习英语单词。常言道：“分秒必争!”。根据上文“I ften use the time t review English wrds”可知，“我”热爱学习，分秒必争，每一分钟对我来说都很“重要”。用不及物动词cunt作谓语动词，意为“重要”，陈述生活哲理用一般现在时态，主语是单词名词，谓语用单数形式。故填cunts。
42. At schl, I d my hmewrk when I have spare time. After schl, I try t use any pssible time t __________ the things I have learnt during the day.（根据句意填空）

【详解】考查语态。句意：在他上学的早期，他遇到了来自小村庄的优秀老师，他们激励他去最需要他的地方教书。根据句意可知，空处应用动词inspire，表示“激励”，he与inspire为被动关系，所以空处应用动词的过去分词形式，与was构成一般过去时的被动语态。故填 inspired。
