【11题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：在最后一天，他们举办了一个不错的聚会。此处为谓语动词的填入，结合上文时态以及该句中的时间状语On the last day可知，此处为陈述过去发生的事情，为一般过去时。故填threw。
【12题详解】
考查副词。句意：盒子打开后，我轻轻地从里面拿出一件漂亮的外套。由副词修饰动词可知，此处为副词gently作状语修饰动词lifted，满足句意要求。故填gently。
【13题详解】

16. which 17. discvery
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了一名潜水员在撒丁岛海岸附近游泳时发现了数量巨大的古代硬币。
【14题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：2023年11月初，一名潜水员在撒丁岛海岸附近游泳时，注意到海底有金属碎片。句子谓语为nticed，所以此处为非谓语动词。动词swim和其逻辑主语a diver之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词作后置定语。故填swimming。
【15题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：他打电话给当局，更多的潜水员被派去查看。此处为并列句的谓语动词。根据前文called可知，此处用一般过去时。主语divers是复数，与谓语动词send之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were sent。
【16题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：据说已经发现了3万多枚硬币，都有近2000年的历史。空格处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词cins，指物，并在从句中作主语，用关系代词which引导定语从句。故填which。

19. hw 20. caused
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文主要讨论了ChatGPT在学校是使用情况。一些学校禁止使用ChatGPT，但许多教育工作者认为人工智能在教育中是很重要的。
【18题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：一些学校自其诞生以来就禁止它。根据句中的“since its birth”可知，谓语动词ban使用现在完成时，主语“sme schls”为复数意义，谓语用复数形式。故填have banned。
【19题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：他们需要时间来制定规则，规定如何在课堂上正确使用。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导宾语从句，从句中缺少“如何”这一含义，因此使用连接副词hw引导宾语从句。故填hw。
【20题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：越来越多的教育工作者表示，对人工智能的恐慌很像互联网刚出现时引起的恐慌。此处为非谓语动词，动词cause与其逻辑主语panic之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填caused。

A few years earlier, he had bught his childhd huse and mved in. While Brwn wndered abut a secnd care er in gardening, he heard a different internal vice. “That child wh used t lve drawing whispered t me dwn the years,” he said. Sme unacknwledged lnging in him was brught ut.
There was a great ak tree near his hme. It had std ut t his yung self as a “fantastical giant — a treasure hme t birds, insects and animals. There was a cave inside. We used t squeeze in thrugh this hle.” He decided t lck himself away fr tw mnths t draw it in all its glrius detail.

Over the next few years, he travelled acrss Britain and spent days with the trees selected with the help f the Ancient Tree Frum, the Tree Cuncil and the Wdland Trust. Brwn has started wrk n a 20-drawing series f Britain’s mst imprtant ash trees. “These beautiful ld ash trees are ging t be lst t us,” he says. “They are 350 years ld and they are dying because f a disease that we’ve spread.”
Drawing is nt nly an act f care and a demand fr preservatin, but it “gives me that interface between my passin fr the natural wrld and my creativity,” Brwn says. It has als given him a different perspective n the passage f time. “I’m an ld man yet I’m nly 71, and sme f the trees I’ve drawn are 1,000 years ld. When I’m with them and when I draw them, I think abut the end f my life and the brief nature f human life that passes mmentarily beneath them.”

When we’re slving a cmplicated prblem, we ften gather a grup t brainstrm. We’re lking t get the best ideas as quickly as pssible. I lve seeing it happen — except fr ne tiny wrinkle. Grup brainstrming usually backfires.
Extensive evidence shws that when we generate ideas tgether, we’re unlikely t maximize cllective intelligence. As the humurist Jhn Smith said, “If yu had t identify, in ne wrd, the reasn why the human race has nt achieved, and never will achieve, its full ptential, that wrd wuld be: ‘meetings’.” But the prblem isn’t meetings themselves — it’s hw we run them.
Think abut the brainstrming sessins yu’ve attended. Yu’ve prbably seen peple bite their tngues due t eg threat (“I dn’t want t lk stupid.”), nise (“We can’t all talk at nce.”), and cnfrmity pressure (“Let’s all jump n the bss’s ship!”). Gdbye diversity f thught, hell grupthink.
T unearth the hidden ptential in teams, instead f brainstrming, we’re better ff shifting t a prcess called “brainwriting”. The initial steps are sl. Yu start by asking everyne t generate ideas separately. Next, yu pl them and share them amng the grup. T preserve independent judgment, each member evaluates them n their wn. Only then des the team cme tgether t select and refine the mst prmising ptins. By develping and assessing ideas individually befre chsing them, teams can surface and advance pssibilities that might nt get attentin therwise.
Research by rganizatinal behaviur schlar Anita Wlley and her clleagues helps t explain why this methd wrks. They find that a key t cllective intelligence is full and fair participatin. In brainstrming meetings, it’s t easy fr participatin t becme lpsided in favur f the biggest egs, the ludest vices, and the mst pwerful peple. The brainwriting prcess makes sure that all ideas are brught t the table and all vice s are brught int the cnversatin. The gal isn’t t be the smartest persn in the rm — it’s t make the rm smarter.
Cllective intelligence begins with individual creativity. But it desn’t end there. Individuals prduce a greater vlume and variety f nvel ideas when they wrk alne. That means that they cme up with mre brilliant ideas than grups — but als mre terrible ideas than grups. It takes cllective judgment t find the signal in the nise and bring the best ideas t fruitin.
28. Bth Jhn Smith and the authr may agree that brainstrming meetings fail t ______.
A. assess humans ptentialB. simplify prblems quickly
C. accept pssible gd ideasD. get the mst ut f individuals
29. What des the underlined wrd “lpsided” in Paragraph 5 mst prbably mean?
A. Infrmal.B. Unbalanced.C. Imprper.D. Unpleasant.
30. The authr writes this passage mainly t ______.
A. challenge a cnclusinB. make a cmparisn
C. advcate a practiceD. intrduce a research
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了头脑风暴会议不能最大限度地发挥个人的潜能，建议通过“头脑写作”来挖掘团队中隐藏的潜力，并说明了这一方法有效的原因。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Extensive evidence shws that when we generate ideas tgether, we’re unlikely t maximize cllective intelligence. As the humurist Jhn Smith said, “If yu had t identify, in ne wrd, the reasn why the human race has nt achieved, and never will achieve, its full ptential, that wrd wuld be: ‘meetings’.”(大量证据表明，当我们一起产生想法时，我们不太可能最大化集体智慧。正如幽默作家约翰·史密斯所说：“如果你必须用一个词来说明人类没有、也永远不会实现其全部潜力的原因，这个词就是：‘会议’。”)”可知，约翰·史密斯和作者可能都同意，头脑风暴会议不能最大限度地发挥个人的潜能。故选D。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“In brainstrming meetings, it’s t easy fr participatin t becme lpsidedin favur f the biggest egs, the ludest vices, and the mst pwerful peple. (在头脑风暴会议中，参与很容易变得lpsided，有利于最自负、最响亮的声音和最有权势的人)”可知，头脑风暴会议中，参与者很容易倾向于最自负、声音最大和最有权势的人，即变得不平衡。故划线词意思是“不平衡的”。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“T unearth the hidden ptential in teams, instead f brainstrming, we’re better ff shifting t a prcess called “brainwriting”. (为了挖掘团队中隐藏的潜力，我们最好不要进行头脑风暴，而是转向一种叫做“头脑写作”的过程)”以及倒数第二段“Research by rganizatinal behaviur schlar Anita Wlley and her clleagues helps t explain why this methd wrks. (组织行为学学者安妮塔·伍利及其同事的研究有助于解释这种方法为何有效)”结合文章主要说明了头脑风暴会议不能最大限度地发挥个人的潜能，建议通过“头脑写作”来挖掘团队中隐藏的潜力，并说明了这一方法有效的原因。可推知，作者写这篇文章主要是为了提倡一种做法。故选C。

Climate experts are having a debate: they are asking whether the UK shuld fcus mre n adapting t climate change r trying t prevent it
David Frst hlds that preventing climate change is n lnger an ptin, given the extent t which the Earth nw appears certain t heat up. Despite the many plicies which attempt t stp climate change, it nw seems unavidable that the wrld will pass the 1.5℃ r 2℃ increases in average glbal temperature that are likely t induce large changes in the climate.
David Frst is right in that ur ecnmies are grwing s much slwer than we had anticipated. Our emissins can drp if we reduce emissins per unit f GDP we create—but they can als drp if the GDP is lwer. Lwer grwth means it is mre feasible (可行的) fr us t achieve targets such as Net Zer, but it als makes it less envirnmentally urgent t achieve thse targets s sn, because we are and have been emitting a lt less carbn than we had anticipated.
The UK authrity finds the debate abut adaptatin difficult. Partly, it is because sme activists claim that adaptatin is nt feasible. They say that climate change will end human civilizatin, ptentially leading t the entire extinctin f the human race.
Hwever, the mainstream view f many scientists and ecnmists, wh wrk n climate change, is that glbal warming culd lead t large changes in ur envirnment. Significant parts f the wrld currently heavily ppulated culd becme effectively uninhabitable while ther parts currently unsuitable fr high-density human habitatin wuld becme mre habitable. Meanwhile, at higher temperatures bth climate and weather are likely t becme mre vlatile—including increased frequency f strms, flding and ther weather events.
These wuld be significant changes, but it wuld be perfectly feasible fr humans t adapt t them. The issue is nt whether adapting wuld be technically feasible, but whether it wuld be desirable either in ethical r practical terms. Are we willing t accept a materially warmer wrld, with humans living in different parts f it? Are we willing t accept the pssible extinctins f certain species and the greater flurishing f thse currently less successful and f new species yet t evlve? Are we willing t accept the cnsequences f a large shift in the patterns f human habitatin acrss the wrld?
It is by n means clear n what basis we ught t ethnically privilege the plants and animals that flurish under tday’s climate ver thse that wuld flurish under a warmer, mre vlatile climate. Hwever, adaptatin will be feasible and is a necessity given the extent t which warming is nw unavidable. Slwer GDP grwth and thus slwer climate change ught t make greater effrts at adaptatin mre attractive.
31. Accrding t the passage, wh hesitate(s) t adapt t the climate change?
A. The gvernment.B. Climate experts.
C. David Frst.D. The activists.
32. The underlined wrd “vlatile” in Paragraph 5 prbably means ________.

B. Glbal warming is preventable t sme extent.
C. Adaptatin t climate change is beynd questin.
D. Prtectin f the current species shuld be priritized.
【答案】31. A 32. A 33. D 34. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了目前关于如何应对气候变化有两种不同观点——适应气候变化或者阻止气候变化，但作者认为适应气候变化是可行的和必要的。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据2段的“David Frst hlds that preventing climate change is n lnger an ptin, given the extent t which the Earth nw appears certain t heat up.(大卫·弗罗斯特(David Frst)认为，考虑到地球现在似乎肯定会变暖的程度，阻止气候变化不再是一种选择。) ”可以判断Frst是支持适应气候变化的，根据第4段“The UK authrity finds the debate abut adaptatin difficult. Partly, it is because sme activists claim that adaptatin is nt feasible. They say that climate change will end human civilizatin, ptentially leading t the entire extinctin f the human race.(英国当局发现，有关适应气候变化的辩论很困难。部分原因是一些活动人士声称适应气候变化是不可行的。他们说，气候变化将终结人类文明，有可能导致整个人类灭绝。)”可知英国当局对关于适应论的争论犯了难，即不知道该支持哪边，对是否去适应气候变化存疑。故选A。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段破折号后的“including increased frequency f strms, flding and ther weather events(包括暴风雨、洪水和其他天气事件的频率增加)”可知，风暴、洪水和其他天气事件发生的频率增加，由此可推测出，气候和天气可能变得更加多变。vlatile意为“易变的”，与changeable意思最接近。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中的“The issue is nt whether adapting wuld be technically feasible, but whether it wuld be desirable either in ethical r practical terms.(问题不在于适应在技术上是否可行，而在于从道德或实践角度来看是否可取。)”可知，从技术上来说适应气候变化是可行的，但问题是从道德或实践角度来看适应气候变化是否可取。接下来“Are we willing t accept a materially warmer wrld, with humans living in different parts f it? Are we willing t accept the pssible extinctins f certain species and the greater flurishing f thse currently less successful and f new species yet t evlve? Are we willing t accept the cnsequences f a large shift in the patterns f human habitatin acrss the wrld?(我们是否愿意接受一个实质上更温暖的世界，人类生活在这个世界的不同地方？我们是否愿意接受某些物种可能灭绝，以及那些目前不太成功的物种和尚未进化的新物种更加繁荣？我们是否愿意接受世界各地人类居住模式发生重大转变的后果？)”用提问的方式引发人们思考是否能接受气候变化带来的影响。由此可推测出，这些问题旨在帮助人们确定自己对适应的接受性。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Hwever, adaptatin will be feasible and is a necessity given the extent t which warming is nw unavidable.(然而，考虑到气候变暖目前不可避免的程度，适应将是可行的，也是必要的。)”可知，作者认为气候变暖是不可避免的，所以适应是可行的和必要的，由此可推测出，作者认为适应气候变化是毋庸置疑的。故选C。

We humans are cmparisn creatures. ____35____ This quality may have evlved as a means f helping us fit int the scial hierarchy (等级) f the cultures we inhabited. Regardless f the reasns, scial cmparisn plays a significant rle in hw we view and evaluate urselves, and hw we interact with ur wrld.
It used t be that ur primary reference f cmparisn was ur lcal cmmunities, primarily neighbrs and c-wrkers. Because we tend t gather arund thse similar t urselves in terms f educatinal level, wrk incme, and shared interests, the range f differences when we cmpared urselves t thers was fairly small. Unfrtunately, with the emergence f the Internet, we can nw cmpare urselves t literally anyne in the wrld. ____36____ What had in previus generatins been a small gap in ur cmparisns has nw becme s large and unattainable.
____37____ When s many peple that are easily discverable n the Internet seem t be s successful. famus, influential and beautiful, given ur preference t cmpare, it is difficult nt t have it influence hw we view urselves. Sadly, these cmparisns usually result in ur feeling inadequate and “less than”.
These harmful cmparisns als damage ur emtinal lives. When we feel lacking, we experience a variety f unpleasant and unhealthy emtins. We feel jealusy and envy fr what thers have and what we lack. ____38____

【答案】35. A 36. C 37. G 38. E 39. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人类生来喜爱比较，但互联网让人们比较的范围变得更大，对人们的生活也产生了一定影响。
【35题详解】
根据上文“We humans are cmparisn creatures.(我们人类是比较动物)”以及后文“This quality may have evlved as a means f helping us fit int the scial hierarchy (等级) f the cultures we inhabited.(这种品质可能是作为一种帮助我们融入我们所居住的文化的社会等级制度的手段而进化的)”可知，上文提到了人类是比较动物，且后文提到比较这种品质，可知本句主要对比较动物进行展开说明，说明人类爱和别人比较。故A选项“我们总是拿自己和别人比较”符合语境，故选A。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Unfrtunately, with the emergence f the Internet, we can nw cmpare urselves t literally anyne in the wrld.(不幸的是，随着互联网的出现，我们现在可以将自己与世界上的任何人进行比较)”以及后文“What had in previus generatins been a small gap in ur cmparisns has nw becme s large and unattainable.(在我们的比较中，前几代人的小差距现在变得如此之大，难以企及)”可知，上文提到了互联网让我们可以和世界上的任何人进行比较，且后文提到了前几代人的小差距现在变得如此之大，说明互联网导致比较的群体发生了变化，C选项“因此，我们现在接触到的群体与我们完全不同”符合语境，故选C。
【37题详解】
根据后文内容“When s many peple that are easily discverable n the Internet seem t be s successful. famus, influential and beautiful, given ur preference t cmpare, it is difficult nt t have it influence hw we view urselves. Sadly, these cmparisns usually result in ur feeling inadequate and “less than”.(当这么多在互联网上很容易被发现的人看起来很成功的时候。名气、影响力和美貌，考虑到我们喜欢攀比，很难不影响我们对自己的看法。可悲的是，这些比较通常会导致我们感觉不足和“不如”)”可知，后文提到了互联网的比较影响了我们对自己的看法，导致我们感觉不足和“不如”，说明这种比较对我们的心理产生了影响。故G选项“这种新的比较水平对我们的心理生活有着巨大的影响”符合语境，故选G。
【38题详解】
根据上文“These harmful cmparisns als damage ur emtinal lives. When we feel lacking, we experience a variety f unpleasant and unhealthy emtins. We feel jealusy and envy fr what thers have and what we lack.(这些有害的比较也会损害我们的情感生活。当我们感到匮乏时，我们会经历各种不愉快和不健康的情绪。我们对别人所拥有的和我们所缺乏的感到嫉妒和羡慕)”可知，本段的主旨是有害的比较会损害情感生活，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文，主要说明对别人的比较产生的一些负面情绪。故E选项“我们甚至会对别人的不公平感到痛苦和愤怒”符合语境，故选E。
【39题详解】
根据上文“It’s ne thing t realize that yu cmpare yurself t thers. It’s anther thing t recgnize that scial cmparisn is ften crrsive (逐步侵蚀的) t yu in s many ways psychlgically and emtinally. It’s an entirely ther thing t stp yurself frm cmparing yurself t thers.(意识到你和别人比较是一回事。认识到社会比较通常在心理和情感上对你有多方面的腐蚀性是另一回事。阻止自己和别人比较完全是另一回事)”可知，上文提到了阻止自己和别人进行比较是另一回事，本句为本段最后一句，故说明阻止自己和别人比较所带来的影响，故B选项“但这是可能的，而且为了你的心理健康，这是值得的”符合语境，故选B。

第二节 （共2小题；第50题3分，第51题5分，共8分）
阅读下面文段，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Smartphnes have becme a big part f peple’s lives. When we temprarily can’t find them, it causes a feeling f anxiety r panic. Sme psychlgists have called it “nmphbia”. Thankfully, I rde thrugh the withdrawal f my smartphne and it was shrt-lived.
When I gt my first smartphne ver a decade ag, I lved it. It gave me instant access t my music, a wrld f infrmatin and thusands f phts and vides. But ver time, I became increasingly ambivalent abut its rle in my life. I wuld repeatedly refresh my email, shp nline fr stuff I didn’t need and cnstantly scrll thrugh the latest news. I’d ften cmplain t my husband and t my seven-year-ld sn, Luis, that I felt trapped by it.
Then, ne day last summer, while I was playing with Luis, I was nce again distracted by dings and pings. He finally reminded me f my cmplaints, but rephrased them as a plea: “Mmmy, just give it up already!”
I decided t try. Instead f ging cld turkey—n cellphne at all—I bught a flip phne. With n tuch screen, texting is time-cnsuming. Once, while trying t catch up n texts with a friend, I finally gt frustrated and called her. I realized I hadn’t spken t her since her big mve. It made a difference t hear bth the excitement in her vice as she described seeing the nrthern lights and her sadness in being away frm a sick parent.
Nwadays, peple may prefer text-based cmmunicatin ver using the phne because they fear that the call will be awkward. But, just as I learned, when we were frced t cnnect vice t vice, we wuld find urselves mre bnded t that persn.
Wuyu Sui, an expert researching digital health, describes nmphbia as a reliance that’s been placed upn us. “Whenever smething is designed t make a chice easier, it’s called a behaviural nudge,” he explains, adding that the mre central t ur lives the smartphne’s functins are, the mre prisned we becme.
Ultimately, thugh, that sense f dependence is false. As I’ve fund, yu can d all the things yu need t d in ther ways. It’s nt always cnvenient, but I knw I’m much calmer n a regular basis withut my smartphne.
50. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
▶Accrding t the authr, we will find it awkward t talk with a friend n the phne.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
51. Apart frm the ways mentined in the passage, what can yu d t avid “nmphbia”? (In abut 40 wrds)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】50. ▶Accrding t the authr, we will find it awkward t talk with a friend n the phne.
Accrding t the authr, we will find urselves mre bnded t the friend when talking with him/her n the phne.
51. T avid nmphbia, ne can cnsider taking regular breaks frm technlgy and engaging in ffline activities. Besides, yu can turn ff yur phne r leave it at hme when yu dn’t need it, and fcusing n the peple and things arund yu.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了过度使用智能手机会导致压力和焦虑。作者放弃了智能手机，选择了一款普通手机，并体验到了与人重新联系的好处。心理学家提出，这种对没有智能手机的恐惧是一种行为推动，导致我们变得更加依赖。最终，作者能够在没有智能手机的情况下生活，过上更平静、更可控的生活。
【50题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第五段“Nwadays, peple may prefer text-based cmmunicatin ver using the phne because they fear that the call will be awkward. But, just as I learned, when we were frced t cnnect vice t vice, we wuld find urselves mre bnded t that persn.( 如今，人们可能更喜欢用短信交流而不是用电话，因为他们担心打电话会很尴尬。但是，正如我所了解到的，当我们被迫将声音与声音连接起来时，我们会发现自己与那个人的联系更紧密。)”可知，根据作者的说法，当我们被迫将声音与声音连接起来时，我们会发现自己与那个人的联系更紧密。由此可知，下列这项陈述中“we will find it awkward（我们会发现很尴尬）”这个部分是错误的。因为根据作者的说法，当我们和朋友打电话时，我们会发现自己和他/她更亲近。故答案是：▶Accrding t the authr, we will find it awkward t talk with a friend n the phne. Accrding t the authr, we will find urselves mre bnded t the friend when talking with him/her n the phne.
【51题详解】
考查开放性试题。根据文章大意以及题干中的问题可知，除了文中提到的方法，避免“无手机恐惧症”我们还可以考虑定期远离科技产品，参加线下活动。此外，当你不需要手机的时候，你可以关掉手机或把它放在家里，把注意力集中在你周围的人和事上。故答案是：T avid nmphbia, ne can cnsider taking regular breaks frm technlgy and engaging in ffline activities. Besides, yu can turn ff yur phne r leave it at hme when yu dn’t need it, and fcusing n the peple and things arund yu.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了一名潜水员在撒丁岛海岸附近游泳时发现了数量巨大的古代硬币。
【14题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：2023年11月初，一名潜水员在撒丁岛海岸附近游泳时，注意到海底有金属碎片。句子谓语为nticed，所以此处为非谓语动词。动词swim和其逻辑主语a diver之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词作后置定语。故填swimming。
【15题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：他打电话给当局，更多的潜水员被派去查看。此处为并列句的谓语动词。根据前文called可知，此处用一般过去时。主语divers是复数，与谓语动词send之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were sent。
【16题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：据说已经发现了3万多枚硬币，都有近2000年的历史。空格处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词cins，指物，并在从句中作主语，用关系代词which引导定语从句。故填which。

19. hw 20. caused
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文主要讨论了ChatGPT在学校是使用情况。一些学校禁止使用ChatGPT，但许多教育工作者认为人工智能在教育中是很重要的。
【18题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：一些学校自其诞生以来就禁止它。根据句中的“since its birth”可知，谓语动词ban使用现在完成时，主语“sme schls”为复数意义，谓语用复数形式。故填have banned。
【19题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：他们需要时间来制定规则，规定如何在课堂上正确使用。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导宾语从句，从句中缺少“如何”这一含义，因此使用连接副词hw引导宾语从句。故填hw。
【20题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：越来越多的教育工作者表示，对人工智能的恐慌很像互联网刚出现时引起的恐慌。此处为非谓语动词，动词cause与其逻辑主语panic之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填caused。

A few years earlier, he had bught his childhd huse and mved in. While Brwn wndered abut a secnd care er in gardening, he heard a different internal vice. “That child wh used t lve drawing whispered t me dwn the years,” he said. Sme unacknwledged lnging in him was brught ut.
There was a great ak tree near his hme. It had std ut t his yung self as a “fantastical giant — a treasure hme t birds, insects and animals. There was a cave inside. We used t squeeze in thrugh this hle.” He decided t lck himself away fr tw mnths t draw it in all its glrius detail.

Over the next few years, he travelled acrss Britain and spent days with the trees selected with the help f the Ancient Tree Frum, the Tree Cuncil and the Wdland Trust. Brwn has started wrk n a 20-drawing series f Britain’s mst imprtant ash trees. “These beautiful ld ash trees are ging t be lst t us,” he says. “They are 350 years ld and they are dying because f a disease that we’ve spread.”
Drawing is nt nly an act f care and a demand fr preservatin, but it “gives me that interface between my passin fr the natural wrld and my creativity,” Brwn says. It has als given him a different perspective n the passage f time. “I’m an ld man yet I’m nly 71, and sme f the trees I’ve drawn are 1,000 years ld.

When we’re slving a cmplicated prblem, we ften gather a grup t brainstrm. We’re lking t get the best ideas as quickly as pssible. I lve seeing it happen — except fr ne tiny wrinkle. Grup brainstrming usually backfires.
Extensive evidence shws that when we generate ideas tgether, we’re unlikely t maximize cllective intelligence. As the humurist Jhn Smith said, “If yu had t identify, in ne wrd, the reasn why the human race has nt achieved, and never will achieve, its full ptential, that wrd wuld be: ‘meetings’.” But the prblem isn’t meetings themselves — it’s hw we run them.
Think abut the brainstrming sessins yu’ve attended. Yu’ve prbably seen peple bite their tngues due t eg threat (“I dn’t want t lk stupid.”), nise (“We can’t all talk at nce.”), and cnfrmity pressure (“Let’s all jump n the bss’s ship!”). Gdbye diversity f thught, hell grupthink.
T unearth the hidden ptential in teams, instead f brainstrming, we’re better ff shifting t a prcess called “brainwriting”. The initial steps are sl. Yu start by asking everyne t generate ideas separately. Next, yu pl them and share them amng the grup. T preserve independent judgment, each member evaluates them n their wn. Only then des the team cme tgether t select and refine the mst prmising ptins. By develping and assessing ideas individually befre chsing them, teams can surface and advance pssibilities that might nt get attentin therwise.
Research by rganizatinal behaviur schlar Anita Wlley and her clleagues helps t explain why this methd wrks. They find that a key t cllective intelligence is full and fair participatin. In brainstrming meetings, it’s t easy fr participatin t becme lpsided in favur f the biggest egs, the ludest vices, and the mst pwerful peple. The brainwriting prcess makes sure that all ideas are brught t the table and all vice s are brught int the cnversatin. The gal isn’t t be the smartest persn in the rm — it’s t make the rm smarter.
Cllective intelligence begins with individual creativity. But it desn’t end there. Individuals prduce a greater vlume and variety f nvel ideas when they wrk alne. That means that they cme up with mre brilliant ideas than grups — but als mre terrible ideas than grups. It takes cllective judgment t find the signal in the nise and bring the best ideas t fruitin.
28. Bth Jhn Smith and the authr may agree that brainstrming meetings fail t ______.
A. assess humans ptentialB. simplify prblems quickly
C. accept pssible gd ideasD. get the mst ut f individuals
29. What des the underlined wrd “lpsided” in Paragraph 5 mst prbably mean?
A. Infrmal.B. Unbalanced.C. Imprper.D. Unpleasant.
30. The authr writes this passage mainly t ______.
A. challenge a cnclusinB. make a cmparisn
C. advcate a practiceD. intrduce a research
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了头脑风暴会议不能最大限度地发挥个人的潜能，建议通过“头脑写作”来挖掘团队中隐藏的潜力，并说明了这一方法有效的原因。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Extensive evidence shws that when we generate ideas tgether, we’re unlikely t maximize cllective intelligence. As the humurist Jhn Smith said, “If yu had t identify, in ne wrd, the reasn why the human race has nt achieved, and never will achieve, its full ptential, that wrd wuld be: ‘meetings’.”(大量证据表明，当我们一起产生想法时，我们不太可能最大化集体智慧。正如幽默作家约翰·史密斯所说：“如果你必须用一个词来说明人类没有、也永远不会实现其全部潜力的原因，这个词就是：‘会议’。”)”可知，约翰·史密斯和作者可能都同意，头脑风暴会议不能最大限度地发挥个人的潜能。故选D。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“In brainstrming meetings, it’s t easy fr participatin t becme lpsidedin favur f the biggest egs, the ludest vices, and the mst pwerful peple. (在头脑风暴会议中，参与很容易变得lpsided，有利于最自负、最响亮的声音和最有权势的人)”可知，头脑风暴会议中，参与者很容易倾向于最自负、声音最大和最有权势的人，即变得不平衡。故划线词意思是“不平衡的”。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“T unearth the hidden ptential in teams, instead f brainstrming, we’re better ff shifting t a prcess called “brainwriting”. (为了挖掘团队中隐藏的潜力，我们最好不要进行头脑风暴，而是转向一种叫做“头脑写作”的过程)”以及倒数第二段“Research by rganizatinal behaviur schlar Anita Wlley and her clleagues helps t explain why this methd wrks. (组织行为学学者安妮塔·伍利及其同事的研究有助于解释这种方法为何有效)”结合文章主要说明了头脑风暴会议不能最大限度地发挥个人的潜能，建议通过“头脑写作”来挖掘团队中隐藏的潜力，并说明了这一方法有效的原因。可推知，作者写这篇文章主要是为了提倡一种做法。故选C。

Climate experts are having a debate: they are asking whether the UK shuld fcus mre n adapting t climate change r trying t prevent it
David Frst hlds that preventing climate change is n lnger an ptin, given the extent t which the Earth nw appears certain t heat up. Despite the many plicies which attempt t stp climate change, it nw seems unavidable that the wrld will pass the 1.5℃ r 2℃ increases in average glbal temperature that are likely t induce large changes in the climate.
David Frst is right in that ur ecnmies are grwing s much slwer than we had anticipated. Our emissins can drp if we reduce emissins per unit f GDP we create—but they can als drp if the GDP is lwer. Lwer grwth means it is mre feasible (可行的) fr us t achieve targets such as Net Zer, but it als makes it less envirnmentally urgent t achieve thse targets s sn, because we are and have been emitting a lt less carbn than we had anticipated.
The UK authrity finds the debate abut adaptatin difficult. Partly, it is because sme activists claim that adaptatin is nt feasible. They say that climate change will end human civilizatin, ptentially leading t the entire extinctin f the human race.
Hwever, the mainstream view f many scientists and ecnmists, wh wrk n climate change, is that glbal warming culd lead t large changes in ur envirnment. Significant parts f the wrld currently heavily ppulated culd becme effectively uninhabitable while ther parts currently unsuitable fr high-density human habitatin wuld becme mre habitable. Meanwhile, at higher temperatures bth climate and weather are likely t becme mre vlatile—including increased frequency f strms, flding and ther weather events.
These wuld be significant changes, but it wuld be perfectly feasible fr humans t adapt t them. The issue is nt whether adapting wuld be technically feasible, but whether it wuld be desirable either in ethical r practical terms. Are we willing t accept a materially warmer wrld, with humans living in different parts f it? Are we willing t accept the pssible extinctins f certain species and the greater flurishing f thse currently less successful and f new species yet t evlve? Are we willing t accept the cnsequences f a large shift in the patterns f human habitatin acrss the wrld?
It is by n means clear n what basis we ught t ethnically privilege the plants and animals that flurish under tday’s climate ver thse that wuld flurish under a warmer, mre vlatile climate. Hwever, adaptatin will be feasible and is a necessity given the extent t which warming is nw unavidable. Slwer GDP grwth and thus slwer climate change ught t make greater effrts at adaptatin mre attractive.
31. Accrding t the passage, wh hesitate(s) t adapt t the climate change?
A. The gvernment.B. Climate experts.
C. David Frst.D. The activists.
32. The underlined wrd “vlatile” in Paragraph 5 prbably means ________.
A. changeableB. predictableC. bearableD. nticeable
33. The questins in Paragraph 6 are mainly aimed at __________.
A. expressing dubts abut peple’s adaptability
B. presenting examples f future climate patterns
C. highlighting the cnsequences f human activities
D. helping peple decide n their penness t adaptatin
34. Which f the fllwing might the authr agree with?
A. Slwing climate change deserves great effrts.
B. Glbal warming is preventable t sme extent.
C. Adaptatin t climate change is beynd questin.
D. Prtectin f the current species shuld be priritized.
【答案】31. A 32. A 33. D 34. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了目前关于如何应对气候变化有两种不同观点——适应气候变化或者阻止气候变化，但作者认为适应气候变化是可行的和必要的。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据2段的“David Frst hlds that preventing climate change is n lnger an ptin, given the extent t which the Earth nw appears certain t heat up.(大卫·弗罗斯特(David Frst)认为，考虑到地球现在似乎肯定会变暖的程度，阻止气候变化不再是一种选择。) ”可以判断Frst是支持适应气候变化的，根据第4段“The UK authrity finds the debate abut adaptatin difficult. Partly, it is because sme activists claim that adaptatin is nt feasible. They say that climate change will end human civilizatin, ptentially leading t the entire extinctin f the human race.(英国当局发现，有关适应气候变化的辩论很困难。部分原因是一些活动人士声称适应气候变化是不可行的。他们说，气候变化将终结人类文明，有可能导致整个人类灭绝。)”可知英国当局对关于适应论的争论犯了难，即不知道该支持哪边，对是否去适应气候变化存疑。故选A。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段破折号后的“including increased frequency f strms, flding and ther weather events(包括暴风雨、洪水和其他天气事件的频率增加)”可知，风暴、洪水和其他天气事件发生的频率增加，由此可推测出，气候和天气可能变得更加多变。vlatile意为“易变的”，与changeable意思最接近。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中的“The issue is nt whether adapting wuld be technically feasible, but whether it wuld be desirable either in ethical r practical terms.(问题不在于适应在技术上是否可行，而在于从道德或实践角度来看是否可取。)”可知，从技术上来说适应气候变化是可行的，但问题是从道德或实践角度来看适应气候变化是否可取。接下来“Are we willing t accept a materially warmer wrld, with humans living in different parts f it? Are we willing t accept the pssible extinctins f certain species and the greater flurishing f thse currently less successful and f new species yet t evlve? Are we willing t accept the cnsequences f a large shift in the patterns f human habitatin acrss the wrld?(我们是否愿意接受一个实质上更温暖的世界，人类生活在这个世界的不同地方？我们是否愿意接受某些物种可能灭绝，以及那些目前不太成功的物种和尚未进化的新物种更加繁荣？我们是否愿意接受世界各地人类居住模式发生重大转变的后果？)”用提问的方式引发人们思考是否能接受气候变化带来的影响。由此可推测出，这些问题旨在帮助人们确定自己对适应的接受性。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Hwever, adaptatin will be feasible and is a necessity given the extent t which warming is nw unavidable.(然而，考虑到气候变暖目前不可避免的程度，适应将是可行的，也是必要的。)”可知，作者认为气候变暖是不可避免的，所以适应是可行的和必要的，由此可推测出，作者认为适应气候变化是毋庸置疑的。故选C。

We humans are cmparisn creatures. ____35____ This quality may have evlved as a means f helping us fit int the scial hierarchy (等级) f the cultures we inhabited. Regardless f the reasns, scial cmparisn plays a significant rle in hw we view and evaluate urselves, and hw we interact with ur wrld.

【答案】35. A 36. C 37. G 38. E 39. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人类生来喜爱比较，但互联网让人们比较的范围变得更大，对人们的生活也产生了一定影响。
【35题详解】
根据上文“We humans are cmparisn creatures.(我们人类是比较动物)”以及后文“This quality may have evlved as a means f helping us fit int the scial hierarchy (等级) f the cultures we inhabited.(这种品质可能是作为一种帮助我们融入我们所居住的文化的社会等级制度的手段而进化的)”可知，上文提到了人类是比较动物，且后文提到比较这种品质，可知本句主要对比较动物进行展开说明，说明人类爱和别人比较。故A选项“我们总是拿自己和别人比较”符合语境，故选A。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Unfrtunately, with the emergence f the Internet, we can nw cmpare urselves t literally anyne in the wrld.(不幸的是，随着互联网的出现，我们现在可以将自己与世界上的任何人进行比较)”以及后文“What had in previus generatins been a small gap in ur cmparisns has nw becme s large and unattainable.(在我们的比较中，前几代人的小差距现在变得如此之大，难以企及)”可知，上文提到了互联网让我们可以和世界上的任何人进行比较，且后文提到了前几代人的小差距现在变得如此之大，说明互联网导致比较的群体发生了变化，C选项“因此，我们现在接触到的群体与我们完全不同”符合语境，故选C。
【37题详解】
根据后文内容“When s many peple that are easily discverable n the Internet seem t be s successful. famus, influential and beautiful, given ur preference t cmpare, it is difficult nt t have it influence hw we view urselves. Sadly, these cmparisns usually result in ur feeling inadequate and “less than”.(当这么多在互联网上很容易被发现的人看起来很成功的时候。名气、影响力和美貌，考虑到我们喜欢攀比，很难不影响我们对自己的看法。可悲的是，这些比较通常会导致我们感觉不足和“不如”)”可知，后文提到了互联网的比较影响了我们对自己的看法，导致我们感觉不足和“不如”，说明这种比较对我们的心理产生了影响。故G选项“这种新的比较水平对我们的心理生活有着巨大的影响”符合语境，故选G。
【38题详解】
根据上文“These harmful cmparisns als damage ur emtinal lives. When we feel lacking, we experience a variety f unpleasant and unhealthy emtins. We feel jealusy and envy fr what thers have and what we lack.(这些有害的比较也会损害我们的情感生活。当我们感到匮乏时，我们会经历各种不愉快和不健康的情绪。我们对别人所拥有的和我们所缺乏的感到嫉妒和羡慕)”可知，本段的主旨是有害的比较会损害情感生活，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文，主要说明对别人的比较产生的一些负面情绪。故E选项“我们甚至会对别人的不公平感到痛苦和愤怒”符合语境，故选E。
【39题详解】
根据上文“It’s ne thing t realize that yu cmpare yurself t thers. It’s anther thing t recgnize that scial cmparisn is ften crrsive (逐步侵蚀的) t yu in s many ways psychlgically and emtinally. It’s an entirely ther thing t stp yurself frm cmparing yurself t thers.(意识到你和别人比较是一回事。认识到社会比较通常在心理和情感上对你有多方面的腐蚀性是另一回事。阻止自己和别人比较完全是另一回事)”可知，上文提到了阻止自己和别人进行比较是另一回事，本句为本段最后一句，故说明阻止自己和别人比较所带来的影响，故B选项“但这是可能的，而且为了你的心理健康，这是值得的”符合语境，故选B。

第二节 （共2小题；第50题3分，第51题5分，共8分）
阅读下面文段，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Smartphnes have becme a big part f peple’s lives. When we temprarily can’t find them, it causes a feeling f anxiety r panic. Sme psychlgists have called it “nmphbia”. Thankfully, I rde thrugh the withdrawal f my smartphne and it was shrt-lived.
When I gt my first smartphne ver a decade ag, I lved it. It gave me instant access t my music, a wrld f infrmatin and thusands f phts and vides. But ver time, I became increasingly ambivalent abut its rle in my life. I wuld repeatedly refresh my email, shp nline fr stuff I didn’t need and cnstantly scrll thrugh the latest news. I’d ften cmplain t my husband and t my seven-year-ld sn, Luis, that I felt trapped by it.
Then, ne day last summer, while I was playing with Luis, I was nce again distracted by dings and pings. He finally reminded me f my cmplaints, but rephrased them as a plea: “Mmmy, just give it up already!”
I decided t try. Instead f ging cld turkey—n cellphne at all—I bught a flip phne. With n tuch screen, texting is time-cnsuming. Once, while trying t catch up n texts with a friend, I finally gt frustrated and called her. I realized I hadn’t spken t her since her big mve. It made a difference t hear bth the excitement in her vice as she described seeing the nrthern lights and her sadness in being away frm a sick parent.
Nwadays, peple may prefer text-based cmmunicatin ver using the phne because they fear that the call will be awkward. But, just as I learned, when we were frced t cnnect vice t vice, we wuld find urselves mre bnded t that persn.
Wuyu Sui, an expert researching digital health, describes nmphbia as a reliance that’s been placed upn us. “Whenever smething is designed t make a chice easier, it’s called a behaviural nudge,” he explains, adding that the mre central t ur lives the smartphne’s functins are, the mre prisned we becme.
Ultimately, thugh, that sense f dependence is false. As I’ve fund, yu can d all the things yu need t d in ther ways. It’s nt always cnvenient, but I knw I’m much calmer n a regular basis withut my smartphne.
50. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
▶Accrding t the authr, we will find it awkward t talk with a friend n the phne.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
51. Apart frm the ways mentined in the passage, what can yu d t avid “nmphbia”? (In abut 40 wrds)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】50. ▶Accrding t the authr, we will find it awkward t talk with a friend n the phne.
Accrding t the authr, we will find urselves mre bnded t the friend when talking with him/her n the phne.
51. T avid nmphbia, ne can cnsider taking regular breaks frm technlgy and engaging in ffline activities. Besides, yu can turn ff yur phne r leave it at hme when yu dn’t need it, and fcusing n the peple and things arund yu.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了过度使用智能手机会导致压力和焦虑。作者放弃了智能手机，选择了一款普通手机，并体验到了与人重新联系的好处。心理学家提出，这种对没有智能手机的恐惧是一种行为推动，导致我们变得更加依赖。最终，作者能够在没有智能手机的情况下生活，过上更平静、更可控的生活。
【50题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第五段“Nwadays, peple may prefer text-based cmmunicatin ver using the phne because they fear that the call will be awkward. But, just as I learned, when we were frced t cnnect vice t vice, we wuld find urselves mre bnded t that persn.( 如今，人们可能更喜欢用短信交流而不是用电话，因为他们担心打电话会很尴尬。但是，正如我所了解到的，当我们被迫将声音与声音连接起来时，我们会发现自己与那个人的联系更紧密。)”可知，根据作者的说法，当我们被迫将声音与声音连接起来时，我们会发现自己与那个人的联系更紧密。由此可知，下列这项陈述中“we will find it awkward（我们会发现很尴尬）”这个部分是错误的。因为根据作者的说法，当我们和朋友打电话时，我们会发现自己和他/她更亲近。故答案是：▶Accrding t the authr, we will find it awkward t talk with a friend n the phne. Accrding t the authr, we will find urselves mre bnded t the friend when talking with him/her n the phne.
【51题详解】
考查开放性试题。根据文章大意以及题干中的问题可知，除了文中提到的方法，避免“无手机恐惧症”我们还可以考虑定期远离科技产品，参加线下活动。此外，当你不需要手机的时候，你可以关掉手机或把它放在家里，把注意力集中在你周围的人和事上。故答案是：T avid nmphbia, ne can cnsider taking regular breaks frm technlgy and engaging in ffline activities. Besides, yu can turn ff yur phne r leave it at hme when yu dn’t need it, and fcusing n the peple and things arund yu.
