turns into a gas．So when you see dry ice "smoking"，it's froze n CO2 melting into its gaseous state．Dry ice is a popular matter in scientific experiments．It creates project s that look cool．Experiment：Healthy dry ice popsicles（棒冰）This dry ice experiment will catch people's eye，especially little kids' because the dry ice is going to be used to make what the young love to eat．It should take you about 10 minutes or less to have a frozen treat to enjoy．MaterialsOne large block of dry iceA large spoonPopsicle sticksOne cup of your favorite juiceA tall glass filled with waterDirectionsUse the large spoon to make a popsicle-shaped space in a block of dry ice．You can set the ice on a piece of cloth or plastic on your table to do this work．Of course，keep in mind that it's okay if it's not exactly popsicle-shaped．Add a popsicle stick to the middle of the space so that when you pour in the liquid，it will freeze around t he popsicle stick．Hold the popsicle stick in place and wait a few minutes for your popsicle to harden．After several minute s，take away the popsicle from the block of dry ice and put it into a tall glass of water for a few seconds．D o this to

were both in great anger．"Never set foot in this house again!"father stormed．With tears welling up in my eyes，I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street．The street lights were shining，causing rather sad feelings．I wandered aimlessly．A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another spac e：happy and carefree．But now …I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old．We differ in ou r ways of thinking．We are just like two people coming from two different worlds．It feels like there is an iro n door between us that can never be opened．I wandered the streets，without a destination in mind．My heart was frozen on this hot summer night．As I w alked on，there were fewer and fewer people on the streets，until I had only the street lights to keep me co mpany．When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived，I saw that the light was still o n．I thought to myself："Is father waiting for me，or is he still angry with me"In fact，it was nothing．Perhaps，dad was throwing away some of his old stamps．Perhaps he thought they were useless．I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps．All the lights were off except father's．Dad was always like this．Maybe he didn't know how to express himself．After shouting at me，he never sho wed any mercy or any moments of regret．This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has beco me his second nature．The light was still on．"Am I wrong"I whispered，maybe…With the key in my hand，I was as nervous as I had ever been．At last，I decided to open the door．As soon as I opened the door，tears ran down my cheek s．I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all．Love---it's seco nd to none．59．Which of the following can replace the underlined part in Paragraph 2？A．Shouted in relief．B．Burst into anger．C．Burst our crying．D．Jumped in sadness．60．What does the iron door between"us"actually refer to？A．Their misunderstandings．B．Their different characters．C．Their ways of thinking．D．The father's rudeness．61．In the author's eyes which of the following can be used to describe his father？A．Inconsiderate．B．Indifferent．C．Stubborn．D．Uninterested．62．What actually contributed to the opening of the iron door in the end？A．The son's giving in to his father．B．The regret undertaken by the son．C．The affection between the father and the son．D．The light that was on until late in the night．29．（8分）China used to be called the"Kingdom of Bicycles"，but since then，cars have taken over the count ry．There are too many vehicles and edestrians in the street now，so the roads are crowded nearly all the tim e，and even going a few kilometers can take up to an hour，which can explain the fact that it's very difficult t o travel across major Chinese cities．Now，new apps that help people register and find bikes are being used more and more across cities like Beiji ng．The new apps that let people share bicycles are easing，traffic，and reducing pollution．Cheng Li starte d using bike share services about six months ago．He said now he is using the car less and the bike more．Fo r Zhang Jian，the bike share revolution makes him recollect the old days．"Now，when we're riding home fro m work，especially in the evening，when it's not rushed，it feels like we're reliving the past，"Zhang said．However，there is now a lot of competition among bike share providers because of their popularity．Some pr oviders are trying to flood the streets with bikes to be more visible．Sometimes there are so many bikes tha t they completely block the sidewalks．This has become a problem for city governments．It is not uncommo n for bike users to leave bikes in the middle of the street or on the sidewalk．This blocks cars and people in a lready crowded cities．In Beijing's southern district of Daxing，officials have been trying to fix the problem by seizing illegally parked bikes．VOA spoke to a woman who said，"Bike sharing is really convenient，but no one is taking care of the problem of illegally parked bikes．"Behind her were several thousand seized bikes．Many people in China feel that bike shares are helping reduce the country's transportation problems and poll uted air．However，they also hope companies will do more to improve their service and avoid flooding the st reets with bikes．63．Which is the cause of traffic jams in major Chinese cities？A．Lack of parking lots．B．Lack of bike share services．C．Poor road conditions．D．The booming of cars．64．What does the underlined word"recollect"in Paragraph 2 probably mean？A．Look back．B．Back off．C．Step forward．D．Slide away．65．What does paragraph 3 mainly want to tell us about the bike shares？A．Their popularity．B．Their advantages．C．Their competition．D．Their problems．66．What do you think will be discussed about the bike shares in the following paragraph？A．They create bike revolution．B．They bring about polluted air．C．They solve the traffic problems．D They need further improving．30．（8分）Our character，basically，is made up of our habits．"Sow a thought，reap an action；sow an actio n，reap a habit；sow a habit，reap a character；sow a character，reap a destiny （命运），"as the saying goe s．Habits are powerful factors in our lives．Because they are often unconscious patterns，they constantly dail y affect our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness．As Horace Mann，the great educator，once said，"Habits are like a cable．We weave a rope of it every day a nd soon it cannot be broken．"I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression．I know habits ca n be learned and unlearned．But we also know it isn't a quick fix．It involves a process and a tremendous eff ort．Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were shocked as we saw the first men walk on the mo on and return to earth．But to get there，those astronauts had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth．More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off，in the fist few miles of travel，than was used over the next several days to travel half million miles．Habits，too，have tremendous gravity pull．However，most people don't realize or admit it．Getting rid of b ad habits recall requires great willpower and some changes in our lives．Lift-off takes tremendous effort，bu t once we break out of the pull f gravity，we can enjoy unprecedente（空前的） freedom．Like any natural force，gravity pull can work with us or against s．The gravity pull of some of our habits ma y currently be keeping us from going where we want to go．But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world to gether and keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order．It is a powerful force，and if we use i t effectively，we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the order necessary to establish effectiveness in o ur lives．67．Why did the author quote the saying in the first paragraph？A．To support the author's opinion about the habit．B．Because a great educator asked the author to do it．C．To show the author was a wise man．D．Because the author liked the old saying very much．68．Why does the author say habits have powerful effects on our lives？A．Because a habit is like a cable and useful to our life．B．Because habits can be learned and unlearned．C．Because you can reap a character by sowing a habit．D．Because habits can constantly affect our character．69．What does the writer mean by referring to gravity pull？A．Ridding bad habits needs great willpower．B．To prove that the habits can work with us or against us．C．Breaking the gravity pull means enjoying freedom．D．The gravity pull is very important in our lives．70．Which can be the best title for this passage？A．Forming a Good Character is ImportantB．The Importance of the Pull of GravityC．The Powerful Factors of HabitsD．Excellence is not an Act But a Habit．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．31．（10分）How to Make FriendsFriendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends．Good friendship has many benefits．It offers companionship，improves self-worth and promotes good health．There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town，or changed our jobs or schools．Such

parents teach us more about the society．There has a time when we young people believe that our parents should stop offering their advices and stop acting as teachers．We may start to think that we know much about the world than our p arents．Perhaps we believe their opinions and ideas were out of date．We are now standing at the top of a g reat pyramid，wait to take turns to lead society in this

A few athletes were already stretching their arms, but most of us could barely focus. As I was burning off last night's wrong decision—a big meal, I spotted a poster about a gym's 21-day workout challenge, and I immediately signed up. I always wanted to train for a marathon, so I considered this as my warm-up. Besides, I needed to stop being lazy and this was my chance to make a change.It was easy to promise on paper, but three weeks of recommended exercise routines and diet restrictions wouldn't be easy. I stuck to working out 30 minutes a day, and I didn't disturb my normal routine. Instead, I had to be faced with the tough work of being more creative in my spare time, thus breaking some bad habits.Overcoming weaknesses with willpower was my goal for the next part of the journey. But the difficult part about making a challenge is realizing that “wanting" and “doing" are two very different things. Just like a career, you have to physically work for it rather than just wait for it to happen. But that's hard. Throughout the 21 days, I often told myself that the challenge was meaningless and tried to sabotage myself from exercising. However, finally I overcame that negative thought and kept working out.At the end of the challenge, I learned something even more important: Feeling the results is better than seeing them. I had fewer headaches and more energy, and was simply happier. I even felt a little smarter as I researched which foods were better for my body, and learned how to make healthier meals. I felt a sense of accomplishment, too, because even though I wanted to give up dozens of times, I didn't. I felt my waist got smaller and my arms got stronger, and I no longer felt guilty after having a piece of cake or a drink.24. What was the author's wrong decision?A. Going to the gym early.B. Training for a marathon.C. Eating a lot the previous night.D. Stopping being lazy for a change.25. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. Some of the author's bad habits.B. Some ways of the author's killing his spare time.C. The importance of sticking to the normal daily routine.D. The difficulty of the author's keeping on with the workout plan.26. What does the underlined word “sabotage" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Prevent.B. Hear.C. Improve.D. Distinguish.27. What did the author learn from the workout challenge?A. Eating healthy food is more important than exercising.B. Overcoming a challenge could bring good feelings to him.C. It's more important to see what he likes than just feel it.D. There was no need to feel guilty about things he disliked to do.CA new study shows that air pollution can cause a huge reduction in our intelligence. The study was a project involving researchers at Peking University in China and Yale University in the United States.The researchers reported that long-term exposure to air pollution can affect a person's mental abilities in two areas: Language and math.The researchers studied about 25,000 people from across China. Between 2010 and 2014, these Chinese men, women and children were given language and math tests. Then researchers compared the test results with measurements of pollution in the air, namely nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide （二氧化硫）.Xi Chen of the Yale School of Public Health led the study. He and his team found that breathing pollutedair can reduce a person's education level by about one year.Chen said that the effect generally is worse for those over 64 years of age, for men and for those with little or no education.“The older persons—they are more affected. And we find, quite amazingly, males are more affected than females. And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors.He noted that the youngest people in the study were 10 years old, while the oldest was 90 years old. They came from China's 33 provinces. In his words, the data and facts are convincing and this range of ages and locations across the country provided a real, objective and representative sample.The researchers noted that the effect of air pollution on verbal ability is even more serious as people age, especially among men and the less educated. The researchers also stressed that every country, whether developed, developing or poor, should focus on air pollution orhumans will face a bad situation.28. What is the result of the study?A. Air pollution has a bad effect on people's intelligence.B. Females are more affected by air pollution than males.C. Americans are more affected by air pollution than Chinese.D. People working indoors are actually not affected by air pollution.29. What did Chen say about the study?A. It is doubtful.B. It is extremely unfair.C. It is common and not representative.D. It is relatively objective and persuasive.30. What did the researchers emphasize in the last paragraph?A. The data from the 33 provinces is convincing.B. The whole world should pay attention to air pollution.C. The less educated take more responsibility for air pollution.D. Air pollution's influence on verbal ability is less serious as people age.31. Where is the text most likely taken from?A. A life diary.B. A guidebook.C. A science magazine.D. A biography.DStories are shared in many ways. They are described in books and magazines. They are read around the campfire at night. They are randomly distributed from stand-alone booths. But what else?To revive （复兴）literature in the era of fast news and smartphone addiction, Short Edition, a French publisher of short-form literature, has set up more than 30 story dispensers （分发机）in the USA in the past years to deliver fiction at the push of a button at restaurants, universities and government offices.Francis Ford Coppola, the film director and winemaker, liked the idea so much that he invested in the company and placed a dispenser at his Cafe Zoetrope in San Francisco. Last month public libraries in some other cities announced they would be setting them up, too. There is one on the campus at Penn State. A few can be found in downtown West Palm Beach, Fla. And Short Edition plans to announce more, including at the Los Angeles International Airport.“Everything old is n ew again," said Andrew Nurkin, the director of the Free Library of Philadelphia, which is one of the libraries that set up the dispensers. “We want people to be easily exposed to literature. We want to advance literacy among children and inspire theircreativity.Here's how a dispenser works： It has three buttons on top indicating choices for stories that can be read in one minute, three minutes or five minutes. When a button is pushed, a short story is printed. The stories are free. They are chosen from a computer category of more than 100,000 original submissions by writers whoseworks have been evaluated by Short Edition's judges, and transmitted over a mobile network. Offerings can be tailored to specific interests, like children's fiction or romance. Short Edition gets stories for its category by holding writing contests.Short Edition set up its first booth in 2016 and has 150 machines worldwide. “The idea is to make people happy," said Kristan Leroy, director of Short Edition, “There is too much unhappiness today. ”32. What do we know about the stories sent by dispensers?A. They are expensive.B. They are short in form.C. They can be read on smartphones.D. They are mainly taken from magazine literature.33. Where can you find the popularity of story dispensers in America?A. In paragraph 3.B. In paragraph 4.C. In paragraph 5.D. In paragraph 6.34. Which is the main purpose of setting up the dispensers according to Andrew Nurkin?A. To get rid of people's smartphone addiction.B. To reduce the financial stress of libraries.C. To make people have access to literature.D. To advertise the network literature.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: a Virtual TourB. Short Edition, a French PublisherC. Everything Old Will Be Popular AgainD. Taste of Literature, at the Push of a Button七选五（福建省厦门外国语学校2020届高三12月月考）It is sometimes thought that the longing for material goods, the need to buy things, is a relatively modern invention. 36 Trade or shopping is certainly an ancient desire, and existed before our ancestors invented writing, laws, cities or farming, even before they used metal to make tools.Humans are born to trade. 37 Evidence from hunter-gatherers suggests that the exchange of food and other necessary things comes naturally, as well as the ability to keep a record of the credits involved. And once trade begins, the benefits are hard to resist.Ancient local coastal people in northern Australia traded fish hooks, along a chain of trading partners, with people living 400 miles inland, who cut and polished local stone to make axes（斧子）. 38 Finally, both groups of "producers", by concentrating on things they could produce and exchanging them for other things they needed, benefited as a result.Trade in the necessities of life, such as food and simple tools, is not really surprising, considering the link between these basic items and survival. What is surprising, though, is that our taste for unnecessary expensive objects also goes back a long way.In South Africa, 100,000-year-old decorative dyes（染料）have been found in an area where none were produced. 39 Small round pieces of glass 76,000 years old were also found at the same place. The earliest jewellery known to us was not just random findings—they were grouped together in size and had holes like those used for threading onto a necklace.Archaeologists argue that trade prepared the way for the complex societies in which we live today. 40 However, their modern equivalents—fast cars and expensive clothes—hold the same attraction for us as "trade goods" did for people 100,000 years ago.A．And we don't need shops or money to do it.B．These are powerful proofs for cash purchase.C．In fact, its roots go back to the beginning of humanity.D．However, the first trade began from the exchange of objects.E．Modern-day shoppers may not be impressed by ancient glass pieces.F．It is thought that these goods were bought at least 30 kilometres away. G．Every individual along the chain made a profit, even if he produced neither himself.参考答案完形填空36-40 BABDA 41-45ADACD 46-50DBBCB 51-55DCBCD阅读理解21 -23 BDC 24 -27 CDAB 28 -31 ADBC 32-35 BACD七选五36-40 CAGFE。

Therefore, she couldn't be (21) (happy).The 4C Challenge (also known as the Clark County Coding Competition) was the event of the year (22) target participants were STEM-minded eighth graders like Fatima and her two best friends, Julia Sheen and Felipe Alvarez.Their classmates were busy posting pictures on social media of their glorious summer vacations while the three best friends, who called (23) Team Java Time, had spent countless hours storyboarding, coding, and adjusting their program. Their app, Romeo and Juliet Remixed, turned the famous play into a multiplayer adventure that retold the story, (24) (integrate) Shakespeare's language with the rhymes of songs.The completed app was due by September 1, and the teens had worked hard to get it done.(25) at any point they lost momentum (动力), they were pushed by weekly texts from Neil Green, who had taken over the competition coordination (协调) this year.On the day when their app (26) (submit) to the competition's submission website, Fatima said, “A prize would be great, but we all know the very best reward.” The teens shouted, “K-J-H-S!”Fatima, Julia, and Felipe were excited to show off their digital skills in front of the other teams of eighth graders, but they were most interested in the reward (27) (give) to the top three teams: guaranteed admission to Katherine Johnson High School, the county's STEM magnet school. Felipe, Fatima, and Julia, friends since kindergarten, (28) barely contain their excitement. Their dream of going to KJHS together was (29) their reach!That was (30) Fatima didn't mind getting out of bed at 8 A.M. on this cold November Saturday to spend the day at Clarksville University, the site of the annual competition.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Are you listening? But are you really listening?You'd think we'd be very good at listening, but do we deeply listen? Sometimes we quickly 31 another's opinion if it doesn't fit neatly with our own. The British Council has launched a project Crossing Divides aimed to train young people to listen and understand other people with very different perspectives.Practicing deep listening means tuning into empathy(同理心), resisting the 32 to judge people who are distinct from oneself. It develops important skills that will make anyone a better listener: empathy, silence and becoming aware of our 33 .The project was 34 in Lebanon, where it helped local people find common ground with each other, in a society divided by bitter years of conflict. People taking part in the project said they felt that they were being heard, helping them to feel recognized and understood, which opened communication between communities. All the participants greatly improved their listening skills, which proved 35 in their working and personal lives.They have also had a chance to be listened to and heard, which research shows can improve 36 . This is because we all feel accepted, valued and more 37 to others when we sense that we are being truly listened to, and the person listening to us doesn't have to agree with us for those benefits to be enjoyed.The project is also an opportunity for participants to feel the benefit of stepping outside their own “echo chamber (回声室)”. Echo chambers are created by our natural tendency to se ek out people and opinions, in person and online, that we agree with, so we mainly see and hear information and opinions that 38 to our own. Not surprisingly this leads us to think our views are definitively correct, so we become 39 or even angry when we encounter perspectives that our worldview suggests arc wrong, because they don't agree with our own echo chamber.So, training young people with deep listening skills can encourage many more people to take part in challenging and 40 conversations. Scott McDonald, the organization's CEO said: “The deep listening training gets to the heart of what we do by providing opportunities for people to step out of their echo chambers, to cross divides, and build trust and understanding.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Part of me has always wanted to be the kind of person who breaks the ice with a stranger. When I witness that kind gregariousness (合群) in others, I feel 41 ; I assume their lack of reserve means they lead more exciting lives. How many tales of adventure began because someone had the 42 to say hello? Talking to someone I don't know 43 low-level fear, and l avoid it entirely.I'm not alone. In a 2022 study, Gillian Sandstrom, a psychologist, noted that people are“remarkably44 ” about talking to strangers, despite research linking frequent social interactions with happiness. We tend to 45 thepotential for negative consequences in such encounters, and actively avoid them. As a countermeasure, she gave participants “missions” that involved initiating conversations with strangers who met certain 46 (e.g., “Find someone who's wearing a hat”). The results were 47 Sandstrom s assumption: these interactions were far more pleasant than people expected them to be.Eager to test her theory, I gave myself a week to reproduce Sandstrom’s assignment, whi ch meant speaking to around 30 people. I had no 48 not 10 try: I live in New York City and encounter hundreds of strangers.One of my missions was to speak to someone who was eating. “Ts that cream cheese?” I asked a guy on a park bench who was eating stuff. It 49 a little more disrespectful than I intended, but once he realized that I wasn't crazy, we had a(n) 50 conversation. When I spoke to an attractive woman on crutches (拐杖) for my task of engaging someone who “looks sad,” I was worried she'd think of me as a pickup artist. 51 , she humored me when I told her about my knee issues.Here's a tip: asking strangers about the bonuses of talking to strangers can be an effective strategy. I used this 52 with people required to interact with the public as part of their job. Among the waiters I spoke with, a common response was that chatting with customers was one of the most enjoyable aspects of their day, providing a little burst of 53 . A cafe worker told me that he was an expert at guessing a customer's order based on their appearance—yoga clothes? black coffee—but felt a distinct joy whenever he got it wrong.My 54 didn't transform me into a fearless extrovert (外向者).

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Dear Doggy DiaryMONDAYNow we’ve surely got all we require for the puppy's arrival: a basket, a screaming toy banana and a bag of dog food. For names, we are hesitating between Spike or Lenny—but, as I tell this list to a Black friend, I suddenly realize both names are associated with famous Black men, and panic that this is a little offence.TUESDAYOur friend Sam has kindly volunteered to “puppy proof” our home.“You don't want to give him that screaming toy, that's encouraging him to eat your sofa,” she says,inspecting our purchases disapprovingly. She hands us a book, by Dr Ian Dunbar. “This guy”, she assures us, “is a Super Babysitter for dogs.”WEDNESDAYSpent last night 57 Dunbar has plenty of wisdom on “positively communicating” wit h the puppy, but nothing on how to get a puppy and also two young children. THURSDAYD-Day. Now the registration website wants a dog name at short notice. So, we go for “Buzz”. One syllable (音节) and with multi-generational fascination (Granny thinks Aldrin, kids think Lightyear).FRIDAYI feel very hesitant about saying so, but last night went well. Buzz is incredibly cute, the kids adore him and he's very cute and only did one pee (排尿) on the blanket, and did I mention he's cute?SATURDAY“Love” feels like a stretch right now. Our “play” was evidently not “focused” enough to prevent Buzz biting through our sofa. Also, our three-year-old thinks it's funny to run away, so Buzz wrestles him to the ground and licks all over his face. I suspect this isn't the best way to prepare Buzz for engaging with the public.SUNDAYThe whole house smells of dog. I find this nasty, but friends, family, and people we barelyknow existed are dropping by to meet him. “It's like having a baby, eh?” says my neighbor, Erik, brightl y. “Yes, but it's a baby you can neglect when it cries!” I respond cheerfully. He frowns (皱眉).MONDAYIt's 2 A.M. on the coldest day of the year and I'm on my hands and knees in the bushes. I think you’ve never really experienced a harsh mid-winter until y ou’re trying to run after a puppy. Then, we return inside, and it’s just me and Buzz. Peace. I should put him back in his cage, but I find I can't resist a hug. Don't tell my wife.56. What does the phrase “puppy proof” our home mean in paragraph 2?A. Make our home clean enough for the puppy.B. Inspect our home to make it puppy-friendly.C. Prove that the puppy will satisfy our needs.D. Decorate our home with books on puppies.57. In the diary of “WEDNESDAY”, a passage is missing. Which of the following plot best fits into the numbered blank?A. Picking a dog 's name from a name list of Blacks.B. Looking over the house for potential safety hazards.C. Studying Dunbar's book on how to take care of a dog.D. Visiting Dunbar in person in order to adopt his puppy.58. Which of the following is the reason for naming the puppy “Buzz”?A. Other choices imply strong prejudice against Black people.B. Its pronunciation resembles the puppy's cute and short bark.C. The registration website recommends the name to the family.D. The name holds appeal to both the elder and the younger generations.59. Which of the following does the diary feature after the adoption of the puppy?A. Chaos and cuteness.B. Hatred and love.C. Mess and cleanliness.D. Abuse and affection.(B)DART II System60. The two objects circled at the bottom of the picture arc probably .A. relaysB. monitorsC. anchorsD. sensors61. What can be inferred about the buoy?A. The sensors fixed on the floating buoy record the sea pressure.B. It communicates with other devices through single-way signals.C. The buoy features direct connection to scientists and the monitor.D. It sends data collected from both the depths and surface of the ocean.62. DART II System is most probably designed to .A. detect upcoming tsunamisB. transmit satellite data to the seabedC. monitor marine biodiversityD. change the buoy into a ground station(C)More and more online shopping platforms now offer consumers a detailed look into products’ historical prices. But how does this information influence buying decisions?To explore this question, we conducted a series of experiments with a total of more than 5,000 business school students and working adults. We measured the impact of different kinds of price shifts on people's interest in purchasing products and identified several consistent trends: First, when consumers saw that the price today was lower than it had been in the past, they were more likely to buy now, because the current price seemed like a good deal.However, the picture gets more complicated when you consider the frequency of historical price shifts: In our studies, we found that if consumers were shown at least three changes in the same direction, they were likely to assume the price would continue to move in the same direction. While if they were only shown one or two changes in the same direction, they expected the price to change in the opposite direction.So what does this mean for sellers? It may be tempting to slowly lower the price over time. However, our data shows that this can lead consumers to assume that the price will continue to fall, making them hesitant to buy. But if they just see a single price drop, they 're more likely to expect a reversal in the near future, pushing them to buy the product now.Our findings can also help buyers make more informed decisions about whether and when they choose to make a purchase. As with any irrational bias (非理性的偏见)，awareness of the natural tendency to expect trends to continue and single large changes to reverse can help consumers question this assumption before acting on it. Instead of letting this arbitrary (武断的) expectation guide buying decisions, consumers may benefit by doing a bit more research around the underlying factors driving price shifts. Buyers may also benefit from learning more about a product's longer-term price history, fluctuations (波动), and typical industry-wide price ranges, to avoid being disproportionately influenced by near-term price changes. It's also always a good idea to think about both how urgent your need for a given product is, and your own risk tolerance for a potential price increase, as this can affect whether it's worth it for you to wait and see if the price falls.Of course, there are countless fa ctors that influence both consumers’ decisions around whether and when to buy and sellers’ decisions around how to price their products. But it's important for both sides to recognize the key role that expectations play in influencing these decisions.63. Which of the following is true about the experiment?A. It proves that people's interest in the product drives the purchasing behavior.B. E-commerce platforms turn to it to connect with customers and boost sales.C. It's designed to figure out the purchasing decision process based on pricing.D. Business school students make up the whole control group for comparison.64. Which of the following price trends might tempt consumers to buy on May 8th?65. Consumers are advised to .A. decide on the assumptions that long-term price trend will continueB. research longer-term price history, price ranges and hidden factorsC. put off the purchase for better deals because of the unsustainable marketD. cooperate with sellers while putting aside the personal risk and urgency66. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How do price changes influence buying decisions?B. Why should products’ historical prices be shown?C. When is the best time for consumers to purchase?D. What do businesses need to price their products?Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Africa's digital workers are re-mapping the old geographies of labor.B. The internet creates new kinds of work, without any patterns of inequality.C. A former employee has taken both companies to court, accusing them of forced labor.Young Africans are logging in and clocking onHis home is Bungoma, a small town in western Kenya, but his workplace is the world. Kevin, who asks that his real name be masked to protect his credibility, has written about offices in China without ever going there. He has reviewed home-security systems he has never seen.67 Freelances (自由职业者) on online platforms can reach clients around the world, mastering skills from blogging 10 web design. Optimists hope that online work can set Africa on the path of service-led growth dominated by countries such as India and the Philippines. Pessimists worry such work will breed injustices.Some are attracted to the work by the flexibility and pay; others because they cannot find a traditional job. There are advocates for freelancing. 68 “Now everyone is speaking about digital jobs,” he says. In Kenya the government's Ajira program runs support centers that aim to link a million Kenyans to online platforms and make the country a “di gital center”.Freelances, like the wider outsourcing (外包) industry, “are fighting against a reputation of Africa as somewhere where you would not expect digital work to take place,” says Mohammad Amir Anwar of the University of Edinburgh, who co-wrote a book about Africa's digital workforce. Some African freelances use virtual private networks and fake names to pretend they are somewhere else. 69The available data suggest that it will take time for Africa to become a continent of digital freelances. In 2019, Mr. Anwar and colleagues estimated that there were 120,000 African workers on Upwork, the continent's most popular platform—fewer than in the Philippines. Most did not seem to be making any money.Outsourcing practices have also sparked moral questions. Al Astra (a live-streaming company) content-moderation center in Kenya run by Sama (an outsourcing firm), workers told journalists that they were mistreated and misled about the nature of their work. 70 Finally, Sama discontinued its services for Astra this year.Technological change bounces in unpredictable directions. Could Al tools, previously trained by Kenyan workers, one day make these freelances such as Kevin unnecessary?Ⅳ. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71. Keeping the Kids Eating HealthyFruits and vegetables are super important for kids to be able to grow up healthy and strong.Science recommends that children aged 2 to 18 get at least two servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables each day. But getting kids to eat their fruits and vegetables is often easier said than done. If you need additional reasons to help your kids boost their intake, new research has found that students who eat more fruits and vegetables might have better mental well-being than those who eat less.A recent study published in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention and Health looked at 9,000 students from across the U.K. About 7,500 were in secondary school, and 1,500 were in primary school. Students self-reported their diet and were given age-appropriate tests for mental well-being that looked at happiness, relaxation and healthy interpersonal relationships. The study found a strong association between eating more fruits and vegetables and higher mental well-being scores. However, only about 25 percent of the students met the recommendation of at least five servings of produce a day.Another interesting finding concerned breakfast, an especially important meal for school-age kids, as it provides the fuel they need to learn and function in general. However, the research found that more than one in five secondary schoolchildren and one in 10 primary schoolchildren didn't cat a standard breakfast at all, and many just had a snack or drink in place of a meal. Those who had a full breakfast had significantly better mental well-being scores than those who skipped the morning meal.In short, the findings suggest that eating a healthy diet that includes a full breakfast and at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day leads to the best mental-health outcomes for children. Unfortunately, many students surveyed were missing the mark with either fruits and vegetables, breakfast, or both.V.
