They earned a spt in the final rund f the cnference, where they cmpeted against the tp team frm each f the ther Grand Challenge grups. They were s vercme with pride when they were finally annunced as the verall first-place team at the cllege!
If it hadn’t been fr her grup’s determinatin, excellent teamwrk and their awesme peer advisr Hayley, they wuld nt have been able t accmplish everything they did. This experience wuld be instrumental in her future.

Have yu ever taken a persnality test and fund the results t be scarily accurate, checked yur hrscpe and had everything cme true r taken an nline quiz that tld yu precisely what yur favrite Disney princess means abut yu? Well, we certainly have dne s t many times, s we decided t d a little investigatin int hw Internet -quizzes, magazines and hrscpe bks seem t knw us s well.
We discvered that we’ve all been falling victim t the Barnum effect. The Barnum Effect is the phenmenn that ccurs when individuals believe that persnality descriptins apply specifically t them, despite the fact that the descriptin is actually filled with infrmatin that applies t everyne. It was named after P. T. Barnum, a famus 19th century shwman, wh wuld famusly say, “There’s a fl brn every minute.”
Indeed, Barnum prved t be right, as pseudscience —such as astrlgy and persnality tests — remains ppular t this day. The Bamum effect explains why extremely general statements, such as the results f yur persnality test, seem s specific t yu. Dn’t believe us? Well, late psychlgy prfessr Bertram Frer ffered sme prf.
In a histric study, Frer cnducted a persnality test t his students. Frer cpied statements such as “Yu have a great need fr ther peple t like and admire yu.” and “Yu have a tendency t be critical f yurself.” frm the newspaper’s hrscpe clumn and gave a test t every student. Frer asked his students t rate the accuracy f the test frm ne t five, with “ne” being the least accurate and “five” being the mst accurate. The average rating was 4.26. The universally high ratings frm students n the persnality test supprted the Barnum effect.
One f the mst imprtant factrs when reprducing this study is t keep the statements as vague as pssible, with a mix f mstly psitive and sme negative cntent. Fr example, using the phrase “at times” makes fr a pwerful Barnum Effect. See “At times yu are utging and sciable, while at ther times yu are shy and reserved” wh wuld nt agree with that statement?
S, keep in mind that we are nt immune t the Barnum effect. Take everything yu hear with several grains f salt.
8. What is the purpse f Paragraph 2?
A. T present a cntrversial pinin.B. T prvide an example f an idea.
C. T ffer a slutin t a prblem.D. T define the meaning f a term.
9. What is Paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. Ptential applicatin f the Barnum effect.B. Further explanatin f the Barnum effect.
C. Supprting evidence fr the Barnum effect.D. A reasnable dubt f the research prcess.
10. Why d s many peple believe the statements in hrscpe and persnality tests?
A. They are s specific.B. They are unclear.
C. They are psitive.D. They are believable.
11. Hw is the passage rganized?
A. Phenmenn—analysis.B. Cause—effect.
C. Prblem—slutin.D. Claim—cunterclaim.
D
The rise f the rbts has raised the pssibility f a future where there is simply less wk fr humans t d. T tired ffice wrkers, a wrld where we all have a bit mre leisure time sunds rather nice. Yet what really matters is hw wrk will be distributed acrss the wrkfrce.
The recent past shws there is n reasn t believe it will be evenly (均衡地) spread. The length f the average wrking week in the UK has declined steadily frm abut 59 hurs in the mid-19th century t 32 hurs in 2009. But averages hide a lt.
While trends amng wmen have been stable, there have been big shifts amng men. Males in well-paid full-time emplyment are nw wrking slightly lnger hurs n average than tw decades ag. Meanwhile, men in full-time emplyment at the bttm f the wage ladder are wrking much less.
On tp f that, the number f lw-paid men wh wrk part-time has increased sharply. Twenty years ag, ne in 20 men with lw hurly wages wrked part-time; tday it is ne in five. Analysis by the Institute fr Fiscal Studies shws this phenmenn is nly happening amng the lw-paid. In better-paying jbs, part-time men are still fairly rare. Gender rles within families might tend t be similar t. Lw-paid men may be chsing t shulder mre childcare respnsibilities s their partners can return t wrk.
Yet it is clear that the distributin f wrk will matter t peple. Britain has bth veremplyment and underemplyment prblems: fficial data shw 3.4m peple in Britain want t wrk mre hurs while 3.2m want t wrk few hurs fr less pay. The underemplyed are likely t be waiters r cleaners. The veremplyed are mst likely t be dctrs r chief executives. This indicates an ecnmy where demand and supply f skills are ut f sync.
Nbdy knws fr sure hw the next wave f autmatin will shake up demand fr different skills. Perhaps dctrs will gain the free time they desire. Others might find themselves in greater demand. But shrt f us develping a much better system fr training peple quickly fr the jbs ecnmy needs, it seems likely that in the future—as nw—there will be t much wrk fr sme, and t little fr thers.
12. What can be inferred frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. The develpment f rbts will get rid f humans’ wrk.
B. Future leisure time will be allcated evenly acrss the wrkfrce.
C. UK has taken sme measures t stp the decline f wrking hurs.
D. The averages may nt be the accurate indicatrs f the steady decline f wrking hurs.
13. What can we learn frm the analysis by Institute fr Fiscal Studies?
A. Lw-paid men are t blame fr the lw emplyment.
B. Mre well-paid men are chsing t wrk part-time.
C. Part-time men have increased nly amng the lw-paid.
D. Part-time men rarely shulder childcare respnsibilities.
14. What d the underlined wrds “ut f sync” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Imprtant.B. Imbalanced.C. Undubted.D. Harmful.
15. What is the text mainly abut?
A. The ttal amunt f human labr will be decreased.
B. Better training systems will be built acrss the wrld.
C. Rbts cntribute t uneven distributin acrss the wrkfrce.
D. The number f lw-paid men wh wrk part-time has increased.

Sme pals and I were in the midst f a pinball cmpetitin at a bar the ther night when the machine kept breaking dwn. We called ver a very busy emplyee wh’s respnsible fr helping keep the place running. He put everything aside t fix ur prblematic pinball machine twice. 16 A cuple f the guys immediately bjected, saying the emplyee was just ding the jb he was paid t d. I insisted and gt the grup t agree t the plan, althugh smewhat reluctantly.
My pinball wizard didn’t stretch ut his hand, but hw many times have we run acrss thse payment screens that suggest a 20% tip fr being handed a sandwich we rdered? 17 There is data t back up the trend: 66% f American adults have a negative view f tipping, and 32% say they’re sick f thse payment-screen hints, accrding t a recent Bankrate survey.
18 I admit there are times I suspect the tipping thing has gne t far - say, when I’m at a self-checkut line and there’s still request t leave smething extra. But I’m generally willing t err n the side f cautin: If smene is expecting a tip, I’ll assume they have financial reasns t d s. 19
Plus, tipping is gd karma (因果报应). It’s always wrth it t tip in unexpected situatins- nes that dn’t necessarily invlve a hint n a payment screen. 20 He was s grateful fr the $10 tip that later that night, he rewarded ur grup with well mre than $10 in free tkens (代金券) fr future play.
S next time, there must be n arguments with my friends when times cme t tip.
A. This leads t what’s been called "tipping fatigue (疲劳)”
B. S, why am I willing t g against the trend and say yes?
C. I suggested we tip him $10 and split the tip amng all f us.
D. There’s an argument that we shuld ban tipping altgether.
E. Guess what happened next with my pinball-machine fixer at the bar?
F. One dllar r tw wn’t make r break me, but it can pssibly help with their rent.
G. Shuld they earn far belw the minimum wage, emplyers must make up the difference.

Lily was renwned fr her desire t achieve perfectin in everything she undertk. Whether it was schl prjects, art assignments, r even helping her parents with husehld chres, Lily’s cmmitment t excellence was unwavering.
One sunny summer day, Lily’s family decided t spend a day at the beach. As they arrived, Lily’s eyes were immediately drawn by a grup f children wh playfully built and then tre dwn their sandcastles. They giggled and shuted, their excitement n full display. “Hw silly, ” she thught, nt quite getting why they enjyed ding that.
Lily, being herself, decided t build a perfect sandcastle that wuld becme the envy f all beachgers. She began t plan every detail in her mind, frm the balanced structures f the twers t the delicate decratins. Then, she set abut piling sand t make the twers and walls f her sandcastle. Painstakingly, she crafted each feature f her wrk, carefully smthed the surfaces and adjusting every detail t her visin.
Jake, Lily’s yunger brther, didn’t seem t cncerned with building a fantastic sandcastle. He picked a spt nearby and amused himself with the sand. He scped up handfuls f sand, let it slip thrugh his fingers like grains f time, and then mlded it int careless shapes with the carefree abandn f a child. Jake’s happiness was cntagius. Mm and Dad jined him, laughing and jking ver Jake’s playful creatins. Frm time t time, they called ut t Lily and invited her t jin the fun, knwing that the pursuit f perfectin culd be exhausting.
Nevertheless, Lily stayed where she was, determined t create an impressive sandcastle. She frwned at Jake’s uncnventinal, abstract art-like sandcastle shapes and persisted in her effrts. Hwever, the prcess didn’t g as smthly as she had anticipated. The sand didn’t always hld its shape, and the waves cnstantly lapped at the edges f her creatin.

The bne begins t deterirate when yu lse a tth because it is n lnger being stimulated daily. This can lead t severe bne lss ver time. But by placing dental implants int the jawbne, we can preserve this structure.(此外，种植牙可以帮助防止因缺牙而导致的骨质退化。当你失去一颗牙齿时，骨头就开始恶化，因为它不再每天受到刺激。随着时间的推移，这会导致严重的骨质流失。但是通过在颌骨中植入牙齿，我们可以保留这种结构)”可知，种植牙的优点是保存了颌骨。故选B项。
3. 推理判断题。根据本文标题“WELCOME TO DENTAL 2023 IMPLANT CENTERGRAND OPENING!!VISIT OUR NEW LOCATION(欢迎来到牙科2023种植中心.隆重开幕! !参观我们的新地点)”以及最后一段“If yu’re missing ne, tw, r all f yur teeth, we encurage yu t visit ur new ffice in Lng Beach, r call(949)857-6757 t schedule yur appintment.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了刚进入保罗学院的Sansa担心自己是否有能力脱颖而出。在大一时和FIRE团队一起完成了一个项目，经过数周的不懈准备，他们的项目最终获得冠军，Sansa在此过程中最大的收获就是和团队之间的友谊。
4. 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Cming int the freshman year at Paul Cllege, Sansa was cncerned abut her ability as an individual t make an impact n such a large cmmunity, fr it was never hard fr her t stand ut frm peers in high schl. (刚进入保罗学院的一年级，Sansa就开始担心自己是否有能力在这么大的一个社区里产生影响，因为对她来说，从高中同学中脱颖而出并不难)”可以推出，Sansa在高中时期的表现是非常突出的。故选A。
5. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Each team had t create a unique prduct that tackled ne f the five fllwing real-wrld prblems: “Water is Life”, “Fd”, “Threats frm Cyberspace”, “Medical Breakthrughs”, and “Addictive Sciety”. (每个团队必须创造一个独特的产品，解决以下五个现实世界问题中的一个:“水是生命”、“食物”、“网络空间威胁”、“医学突破”和“成瘾社会”)”可得知，每支参赛队伍都需呈现一个产品来解决某个实际问题。故选B。
6. 词义猜测题。根据第三段的第二句话“They earned a spt in the final rund f the cnference, where they cmpeted against the tp team frm each f the ther Grand Challenge grups. (他们在决赛获得了一席之地，在那里他们与其他各组的顶级球队竞争)”可以得知，Sansa所在的团队挺进了决赛，在决赛中他们需要和其他队伍进行比拼。由此猜测，划线部分“cmpeted against”是“vie with”的同义复现，即“和……竞争”。A. Cntest against. 和……竞争；B. Give way t. 向……让步；C. Break up with.和……结束关系；D. Make up with.和……和解。故选A。
7. 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“She was able t frge invaluable cnnectins with her fellw students and their peer advisr wh had s much first-hand experience with what they all were ging thrugh. (她能够与她的同学和他们的同行顾问建立宝贵的联系，他们对他们所经历的事情有很多第一手的经验)”和最后一段“If it hadn’t been fr her grup’s determinatin, excellent teamwrk and their awesme peer advisr Hayley, they wuld nt have been able t accmplish everything they did. (如果没有她的团队的决心、出色的团队合作和他们出色的同行顾问Hayley，他们不可能完成他们所做的一切)”可知，Sansa强调和团队之间的关系，所以她在 FIRE Prgram中最大的收获是良好的团队关系。故选C。
8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章提出了“很多人相信占卜和性格测试等”这一现象并分析了其原因。
8. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“We discvered that we’ve all been falling victim t the Barnum effect. The Barnum Effect is the phenmenn that ccurs when individuals believe that persnality descriptins apply specifically t them, despite the fact that the descriptin is actually filled with infrmatin that applies t everyne. It was named after P. T. Barnum, a famus 19th century shwman, wh wuld famusly say, “There’s a fl brn every minute.” (我们发现我们都成了巴纳姆效应的受害者。巴纳姆效应是一种现象，当人们认为性格描述只适用于他们时，尽管事实上这些描述中充满了适用于所有人的信息。它是以19世纪著名的表演家P.T.巴纳姆的名字命名的，他有句名言：“每分钟都有一个傻瓜出生。”)”可知，文章第二段主要解释了巴纳姆效应的概念。由此推知，第二段的目的是给“巴纳姆效应”这一专业术语下定义。故选D项。
9. 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段最后一句“ Dn’t believe us? Well, late psychlgy prfessr Bertram Frer ffered sme prf. (不相信我们？嗯，已故的心理学教授Bertram Frer提供了一些证据)”和第四段“In a histric study, Frer cnducted a persnality test t his students. Frer cpied statements such as “Yu have a great need fr ther peple t like and admire yu.” and “Yu have a tendency t be critical f yurself.” frm the newspaper’s hrscpe clumn and gave a test t every student. Frer asked his students t rate the accuracy f the test frm ne t five, with “ne” being the least accurate and “five” being the mst accurate. The average rating was 4.26. The universally high ratings frm students n the persnality test supprted the Barnum effect. (在一项历史研究中，弗莱尔对他的学生进行了性格测试。永远复制这样的话：“你非常需要别人喜欢和钦佩你。”和“你有挑剔自己的倾向”，然后给每个学生做了一个测试，让他的学生给测试的准确性打分，从1到5，“1”是最不准确的，“5”是最准确的。平均评分为4.26分。学生们在性格测试中普遍获得的高分支持了巴纳姆效应)”可知，文章第四段通过Frer对学生的性格测试，为巴纳姆效应提供论据。故选C项。
10. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“We discvered that we’ve all been falling victim t the Barnum effect. The Barnum Effect is the phenmenn that ccurs when individuals believe that persnality descriptins apply specifically t them, despite the fact that the descriptin is actually filled with infrmatin that applies t everyne. (我们发现我们都成了巴纳姆效应的受害者。巴纳姆效应是一种现象，当人们认为性格描述只适用于他们时，尽管事实上这些描述中充满了适用于所有人的信息)”以及倒数第二段“One f the mst imprtant factrs when reprducing this study is t keep the statements as vague as pssible, with a mix f mstly psitive and sme negative cntent. (在复制这项研究时，最重要的因素之一是让陈述尽可能模糊，主要是积极的内容和一些消极的内容)”可推知，很多人相信占卜和性格描述，是因为这些描述中充满了适用于所有人的信息，也就是说这些描述其实是很模棱两可的。故选B项。
11. 推理判断题。阅读文章可知，文章第一段“Have yu ever taken a persnality test and fund the results t be scarily accurate, checked yur hrscpe and had everything cme true r taken an nline quiz that tld yu precisely what yur favrite Disney princess means abut yu? Well, we certainly have dne s t many times, s we decided t d a little investigatin int hw Internet -quizzes, magazines and hrscpe bks seem t knw us s well. (你是否曾经做过性格测试，发现结果非常准确？你是否曾经检查过你的星座，一切都成真了？你是否曾经做过一个在线测验，告诉你你最喜欢的迪士尼公主对你意味着什么？好吧，我们已经这么做过太多次了，所以我们决定做一个小调查，看看网络测验、杂志和占星书是如何如此了解我们的。)”提出了“很多人相信占卜和性格测试等”这一现象，而后面几个段落都在分析其原因。由此可知，本文的篇章结构为“现象——分析”。故选A项。
12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍机器人可能会导致劳动力分布不均。
12. 推理判断题。根据第二段的“The length f the average wrking week in the UK has declined steadily frm abut 59 hurs in the mid-19th century t 32 hurs in 2009. But averages hide a lt.(英国每周平均工作时间从19世纪中期的59小时稳步下降到2009年的32小时。但平均值隐藏了很多东西)”推知，平均值可能不是工作时间稳步下降的准确指标。故选D。
13. 细节理解题。根据第四段的“On tp f that, the number f lw-paid men wh wrk part-time has increased sharply. Twenty years ag, ne in 20 men with lw hurly wages wrked part-time; tday it is ne in five. Analysis by the Institute fr Fiscal Studies shws this phenmenn is nly happening amng the lw-paid. In better-paying jbs, part-time men are still fairly rare.(最重要的是，从事兼职工作的低收入男性的数量急剧增加。20年前，每20名时薪较低的男性中就有1人从事兼职工作；今天是五分之一。Institute fr Fiscal Studies的分析显示，这种现象只发生在低收入人群中。在收入较高的工作中，兼职男性仍然相当罕见)”可知，我们可以从Institute fr Fiscal Studies得知兼职男性仅在低收入人群中有所增加。故选C。
14. 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段的“Britain has bth veremplyment and underemplyment prblems: fficial data shw 3.4m peple in Britain want t wrk mre hurs while 3.2m want t wrk few hurs fr less pay. The underemplyed are likely t be waiters r cleaners. The veremplyed are mst likely t be dctrs r chief executives.(英国同时存在过度就业和就业不足的问题：官方数据显示，340万英国人希望延长工作时间，320万人希望工作时间更短，工资更低。未充分就业的人可能是服务员或清洁工。被过度雇佣的人最有可能是医生或首席执行官)”可知，英国存在过度就业和就业不足的问题，即就业不平衡。由此推知，导致这种结果的原因是经济中技能的需求和供给不平衡。故猜测ut f sync意为“不平衡”。故选B。
15. 主旨大意题。通读全文并结合第一段“The rise f the rbts has raised the pssibility f a future where there is simply less wk fr humans t d. T tired ffice wrkers, a wrld where we all have a bit mre leisure time sunds rather nice. Yet what really matters is hw wrk will be distributed acrss the wrkfrce.(机器人的崛起带来了这样一种可能性:在未来，人类可以做的工作更少了。对于疲惫的上班族来说，一个我们都有更多休闲时间的世界听起来相当美好。然而，真正重要的是工作将如何在劳动力中分配)”和最后一段的“But shrt f us develping a much better system fr training peple quickly fr the jbs ecnmy needs, it seems likely that in the future—as nw—there will be t much wrk fr sme, and t little fr thers.(但是，如果我们不能开发出一套更好的体系，快速培训人们适应经济需求，那么未来很可能——就像现在一样——有些人的工作太多，而另一些人的工作太少)”可知，文章主要介绍了机器人可能会导致劳动力分布不均。故选C。
16. C 17. A 18. B 19. F 20. E
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和朋友一天晚上去酒吧玩弹球游戏，结果弹球机坏了，工人来给他们修理弹球机的时候，作者想要支付修理工小费，但是他的同伴们并不同意。由此事引发了作者对于支付小费问题的看法。

(有数据支持这一趋势：根据 Bankrate 最近的一项调查，66% 的美国成年人对小费持负面看法，32% 的人说他们厌倦了付款屏幕上的暗示)”说明人们不愿给小费已经成为了一种趋势。下文“I admit there are times I suspect the tipping thing has gne t far - say, when I’m at a self-checkut line and there’s still request t leave smething extra.(但是我一般都会谨慎行事：如果有人想要小费，我会假设他们是出于经济原因这样做的)”说明作者原意给小费的理由。空处承接上文引出下文。B项中的“I willing t g against the trend ”和上文“There is data t back up the trend”相呼应，并引出作者原意违反这一趋势的原因。故选B。

20. 下文“He was s grateful fr the $10 tip that later that night, he rewarded ur grup with well mre than $10 in free tkens (代金券) fr future play. (他非常感激那10美元的小费，那天晚上晚些时候，他奖励了我们小组10美元以上的免费代币，以备将来玩耍之用)”说明付小费也会得到回报。空处引出下文，说明作者想让人们看到给小费所得到的回报。E项“猜猜接下来我的弹球机修理工在酒吧发生了什么？”符合语境。故选E。
21. B 22. A 23. C 24. B 25. D 26. C 27. D 28. B 29. B 30. D 31. A 32. C 33. D 34. B 35. C
