【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是Chelmsford体育中心的相关信息。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Features部分中的“Our gym is open to those aged 14 and over.(我们的健身中心对14岁及以上的人开放。)”可知，Chelmsford对14岁及以上的人开放，所以12岁的女孩不允许进入。故选D项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Accessibility 部分中的“The first floor is currently closed for refurbishment (整修), and will be expanded to include a larger area as well as a larger variety of equipment.(一楼目前正在关闭进行整修，并将进行扩建，以包括更大的面积和更多种类的设备。)”可知，一楼正在整修，并将扩建，以提供更多种类的设备，由此可知，整修可能带来更多种类的设备。故选B项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Prices中的“Peak fares: Monday to Friday between 07:00 and 09:00, and between 17:00 and 20:00. Off-peak fares: at all other times(高峰票价：周一至周五07:00至09:00，17:00至20:00。非高峰时段票价：在所有其他时间)”以及表格中的“Standard: Peak prices 8.10; Off-peak prices 7.20；Discounted (for teenagers): Peak prices 7.30; Off-peak prices 6.60(标准：高峰价格8.10英镑；非高峰价格7.20英镑；折扣(青少年)：高峰价格7.30英镑；非高峰价格为6.60英镑)”可知，在周六的时候应属于非高峰时段，成年人的价格是每人 7.20，青少年的价格是打折价为6.60英镑，所以两个成年人和一个青少年在周六去该体育中心的费用是： 7.20*2+ 6.60= 21.00。故选B项。
B
I still remember my friends giving me the advice: Try something new. I was stressed and, of course, also on my phone too much. I was writing about food for work, so cooking didn’t really count as a hobby anymore, nor did reading, nor socialising, especially since all of my friends worked in my industry. I needed something in my life that existed apart from all that.
“Maybe something you can do with your hands.” The suggestion felt like an escape exit: Maybe a hobby could free me from my work. Cooking had once been the thing I did to relax when I got home from work, the thing I was curious about, and the thing that made my brain away from its standard complaints. The kitchen had once been a release, but now it was part of my professional life. It needed a replacement. A few months later, I dutifully signed up for a ceramics (制陶艺术) class at a studio near my apartment.
At the studio, I started as a lazy learner, but after a few months I became addicted, signing up for more classes when my term ended. I had a place to go in my free time and something to be curious about, and my goals were unrelated to outer forces: a boss, a job, a market, a reader. Unlike with writing, my progress was quantifiable (可量化的): Now I can make a vase this tall. Now I have made a pot. Now my handles are beautiful. Now I have made two things that more or less look like a pair.
Finally finding a hobby that is just for my own enjoyment is a release. I enjoy having something to do that doesn’t involve a screen and therefore feels far from the style of work to which I am most accustomed – hands covered in clay cannot swipe (滑屏) very well. Making time for this also means carving out time, for creation and inspiration, and also for the rest that is required for me to reflect on my life. It is something more than a new hobby. This is the peace that everyone needs in our life.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I was stressed and, of course, also on my phone too much.”（我压力很大，当然，我用手机也太多了。）可知，作者现在的工作需要经常使用手机。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“At the studio, I started as a lazy learner, but after a few months I became addicted, signing up for more classes when my term ended.”（在工作室里，一开始我是一个懒惰的学习者，但几个月后我就上瘾了，学期结束时我报了更多的课。）和“I had a place to go in my free time and something to be curious about, and my goals were unrelated to outer forces: a boss, a job, a market, a reader.”（我在空闲时间有地方可去，有东西让我好奇，我的目标与外部力量无关:老板、工作、市场、读者。）可知，作者是逐渐喜欢上了陶艺课，会在空闲时间去主动学习、制作，可见陶艺已经逐渐成为了他的一种爱好。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is something more than a new hobby. This is the peace that everyone needs in our life.”（这不仅仅是一种新的爱好，这是我们生活中每个人都需要的平静。）可知，作者认为新爱好会让人感到平静。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Finally finding a hobby that is just for my own enjoyment is a release.”（最终找到一个只是为了我自己的享受的爱好，是一种释放。）、“Making time for this also means carving out time, for creation and inspiration, and also for the rest that is required for me to reflect on my life.”（腾出时间来做这些也意味着腾出时间来创造和灵感，也意味着腾出时间来反思我的生活。）和“It is something more than a new hobby. This is the peace that everyone needs in our life.”（这不仅仅是一种新的爱好，这是我们生活中每个人都需要的平静。）及全文内容可知，本文主要表达了拥有一个爱好的好处，可以让我们得到释放，反思生活，感受到平静。故选A。
C
In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett—“Fail again. Fail better.” It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success, a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory.
However, psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively. In other words, we fail to “fail forward”. We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed, and become less motivated to persevere(坚持) and reach our goals. This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”, which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.
Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism(机制). “Most of us picture ourselves as able people, so when feedback(反馈) from others suggests the opposite, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he says. “The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the outside signal, so we can keep a positive sense of self. We do this even without noticing.”
If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you might convince yourself that you don’t really want it at all, and stop applying for similar positions. The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial, or if you lose a singing contest. “We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our ‘Plan C’ is actually our ‘Plan A’,” Sjastad says.
It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be healthy to change if the process is no longer making us happy. But the “sour-grape effect” may lead us to come to this decision prematurely, rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve.
Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, however, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.
8. Why does the author mention the speech of inspirational speakers in Paragraph 1
A. To offer an approach to handling failure.
B. To introduce a common attitude towards failure.
C. To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure.
D. To discuss the relationship between success and failure.
9. What can we learn from Paragraph 3 about the “sour-grape effect”
A. It does harm to our self-image. B. It pictures us as perfect people.
C. It protects us from false feedback. D. It makes us refuse negative feedback to ourselves.
10. What does the underlined word “prematurely” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Hurriedly. B. Mistakenly. C. Unhappily. D. Carelessly.
11. Which statement would the author most probably agree with
A. Get ready to replace “Plan A” with “Plan C”.
B. Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self.
C. Don’t quit when goals no longer make you happy.
D. Don’t escape when our self-image gets challenged.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。大多数人难以积极地应对失败，在失败时就会贬低自己的任务，缺乏动力去坚持目标，这种心理现象就是酸葡萄效应。但酸葡萄效应可能会产生负面影响，所以我们要学会面对失败，而不是一味地贬低失败的事情并假装一切没有发生，这样才能让我们更容易达到我们的目标。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett—‘Fail again. Fail better.’(在今天的励志文学中，失败常常被视为值得庆祝的事情。富有励志演讲者喜欢引用小说家塞缪尔·贝克特的话——‘再次失败。失败得更好。’)”可知，作者提到励志演讲者引用的话“再次失败。失败得更好。”是想证明如今的励志文学常常将失败视为值得庆祝的事情，由此可推测出，作者想要介绍对待失败的普遍态度。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Sjastad explains that ‘sour-grape effect’ is a self-protective mechanism(机制). ‘Most of us picture ourselves as able people, so when feedback(反馈) from others suggests the opposite, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,’ he says. (Sjastad解释说，‘酸葡萄效应’是一种自我保护机制。‘我们大多数人都认为自己是有能力的人，所以当外部反馈不是这样时，它会对自我形象构成严重威胁，’他说。)”和“The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the outside signal, so we can keep a positive sense of self.(最简单的解决方法是否认或为这种辩解信号辩解，这样我们就可以保持积极的自我意识。)”可知，“酸葡萄效应”是一种自我保护机制，当外部反馈与自我形象不一致时，我们就会否认或为这种外部信号辩解，从而保护自己。由此可推测出，“酸葡萄效应”会否认外界对于我们的负面反馈。故选D。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve”可知，而不是坚持一会儿，看看我们是否可以学习和提高，这里应与rather than后的内容相反，表示的是我们会提前做出不再坚持这种决定，prematurely意为“提前地。过早地，仓促地”，与A项“匆忙地”意思最接近。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, however, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.(然而，通过学会面对失望，而不是贬低它的重要性并且假装什么都没发生，你可能会发现实现目标更容易。)”可知，作者在最后建议要学会面对失败带来的失望，而不是贬低失败并假装一切都没发生过，这样会更加有助于实现目标。由此可推测出，作者认为当我们的自我形象受到质疑时，不要一味地逃避。故选D。
D
If you plan to live another 10 years, you should expect to live in a world with machines doing things you don’t like doing today. Even more will be done without your lifting the finger. It’s not only simple tasks such as cleaning, laundry and dishes. High-end services previously not accessible to you will now be in your economic grasp. Your personal robot will know you better than you know yourself. This almost unimaginable lifestyle could become common for the public, because of the achievements of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to date and the fact that 5G is on the way to provide.
The reasons to be fearful of AI and robotics are well-founded. AI can compete with our brains and robots can compete with our bodies. And in many cases, they can beat us handily already. And the more time that passes, the better these emerging technologies will become, while our own capabilities (能力) are expected to remain more or less the same.
There has been a love-hate relationship between individuals and big companies long before the present era of big tech, but when big tech, AI and robotics work together, it gets even scarier.
Tomorrow’s big tech companies may make use of AI and thus control the lives of their users to some degree. In such a world, third-party organisations may know more about us than we know about ourselves. Decisions will be made on our behalf and increasingly without our awareness, and those decisions won’t necessarily be in our best interests.
These issues are foreseeable, and the stakes (风险) are high. So, what can be done In order to achieve the highest possible public trust in the benefits of AI and robotics in our lives, there are three things urgent for action. First, the industry’s AI and robotics leaders must start to combine consumers’ interests in safety and privacy into their technology offerings – something we haven’t seen before in the development of the Internet and mobile markets. Second, big tech companies and their smaller start-up siblings, should support common agreements, principles, protocols, standards and other policies. The more policy structure there is in place that protects consumer interests, the more trust AI and robotics deserve. Finally, a trusted organisation should design and carry out a reliable means of creating and protecting the new AI and robotics policy structure from bad influence.
Luckily, although the gap between tech advances and the lagging policy structure is widening, there is still time to catch up – if we act now.
The combination of AI, robotics and big tech companies is potentially dangerous, but by taking the appropriate steps now we can avoid these dangers and enjoy the huge potential benefits that they have to offer.
12. Which is among the reasons for people’s fear of AI and robotics
A. AI, robotics and 5G can work together. B. The new lifestyles cannot be imagined.
C. AI and robotics keep improving nonstop. D. AI and robotics can do everything for us.
13. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage
A. Big tech companies will control people’s life completely.
B. The benefits brought by AI and robotics cannot be enjoyed.
C. The relationship between humans and big companies may be scary.
D. The third-party organisation will make decisions for humans’ good.
14. According to the passage, how can trusted AI and robotics be built
A. More policies that protect AI and robotics should be made.
B. AI and robotics should be controlled by big tech companies.
C. The development of AI and robotics should be slowed down.
D. Consumers’ interests in safety and privacy should be considered.
15. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. Achieving Trusted AI and Robotics by Making Policies
B. Avoiding the Potential Dangers of AI, Robotics and Big Tech
C. AI and Robotics Creating a New Lifestyle for Human Beings
D. AI, Robotics and 5G Working Together to Benefit Human Beings
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述人工智能、机器人和大型科技公司的结合是潜在的危险，我们应该采取措施避免这些危险，才能享受它们提供的巨大潜在好处。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“And the more time that passes, the better these emerging technologies will become, while our own capabilities (能力) are expected to remain more or less the same.(时间流逝得越久，这些新兴技术就会变得越好，而我们自己的能力预计将保持大致相同。)”可知，新兴科技随着时间的推移汇编的越来越好，而我们自己预计保持大致相同，由此可知，人们害怕人工智能和机器人的原因是人工智能和机器人技术不断进步。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“There has been a love-hate relationship between individuals and big companies long before the present era of big tech, but when big tech, AI and robotics work together, it gets even scarier. (早在当今科技巨头时代之前，个人和大公司之间就存在着一种又爱又恨的关系，但当科技巨头、人工智能和机器人一起工作时，这种关系就变得更加可怕了。)”可知，个人与大公司之间存在着一种又爱又恨的关系，由此可知，人类和大公司之间并不总是和谐的关系。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“In order to achieve the highest possible public trust in the benefits of AI and robotics in our lives, there are three things urgent for action.(为了获得公众对人工智能和机器人技术在我们生活中的好处的最高信任，有三件事迫切需要采取行动。)”可知，要想获得公众对人工智能和机器人技术的最高信任，有三件事急需采取行动，结合下文中的“First, the industry’s AI and robotics leaders must start to combine consumers’ interests in safety and privacy into their technology offerings – something we haven’t seen before in the development of the Internet and mobile markets.(首先，该行业的人工智能和机器人领导者必须开始将消费者对安全和隐私的兴趣结合到他们的技术产品中——这是我们在互联网和移动市场的发展中从未见过的。)”可知，其中的第一点就是要将消费者对安全和隐私的兴趣结合到他们的技术产品中去，由此可知，建立可信的人工智能和机器人就应考虑消费者在安全和隐私方面的利益。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“This almost unimaginable lifestyle could become common for the public, because of the achievements of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to date and the fact that 5G is on the way to provide.(由于人工智能(AI)和机器人技术迄今取得的成就，以及5G即将提供的服务，这种几乎难以想象的生活方式可能会在公众中变得普遍。)”可知，人工智能和机器人技术的发展以及5G即将提供的服务，让我们的生活方式将发生很大的改变，结合下文中的对人工智能和机器人技术的发展对人类带来的危险，可知，人工智能和机器人技术的发展要活的人类的最高信任有三件事急需采取行动，结合尾段“The combination of AI, robotics and big tech companies is potentially dangerous, but by taking the appropriate steps now we can avoid these dangers and enjoy the huge potential benefits that they have to offer.(人工智能、机器人技术和大型科技公司的结合有潜在的危险，但通过采取适当的措施，我们可以避免这些危险，并享受它们所带来的巨大潜在好处。)”可知，我们如果能够采取适当的措施可以避免这些危险，并可以享受他们带来的巨大潜在的好处，由此可知，本文主要讲述的是如果我们采取适当的措施避免人工智能和机器人技术带来的危险，可以享受他们带来的巨大潜力的好处，所以本文的标题为“我们能避免人工智能、机器人和大型科技公司的潜在危险吗？”涵盖了本文的内容，以提问的形式引起读者的思考，且可以概括本文的主题。故选C项。
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How much time do you spend doing research before you make a decision There are people who go over every detail exhaustively before making a choice. ____16____ Psychologists call this way of thinking a cognitive bias (偏见), a tendency toward a specific mental mistake.
To study “jumping”, we examined decision-making patterns among more than 600 people from the general population. We found that jumpers made more errors than non-jumpers on problems that require thoughtful analysis. ____17____ In a quiz about US civics, they overestimated the chance that their answers were right much more than other participants did – even when their answers were wrong.
So what is behind “jumping” Psychological researchers commonly distinguish between two pathways of thought: automatic system, which reflects ideas that come to the mind easily, spontaneously and without effort, and controlled system including conscious and effortful reasoning. Jumpers and non-jumpers are equally influenced by automatic thoughts. ____18____ It is the controlled system that helps people avoid mental biases introduced by the automatic system. As a result, jumpers were more likely to accept the conclusions made at first blush without further questioning. A lack of controlled thinking is also more broadly connected to their problematic beliefs and faulty reasoning.
____19____ A method called metacognitive training can be used to target their biases, which can help people think more deliberatively. In this training, participants are confronted with their own biases. They can learn about the missteps and other ways of thinking through the problem at hand. It helps to chip away at participants’ overconfidence.
In everyday life, the question of whether we should think things through or instead go with our guts is a frequent and important one. ____20____ Sometimes the most important decision we make can be to take some more time before making a choice.
A. Happily, there may be some hope for jumpers.
B. Also, jumpers had problems with overconfidence.
C. But a fair number of individuals are quick to jump to conclusions.
D. It is certainly possible for them to overthink things to take a decision.
E. We plan to continue the work to trace other problems introduced by jumping.
F. The jumpers, however, did not engage in controlled reasoning to the same degree as non-jumpers.
G. Recent studies show that even gathering just a little bit more evidence may help us avoid a major mistake.
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. F 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是相较于按照直觉行事，深思熟虑对我们更有帮助，一种叫元认知训练的方法可以帮助那些急于得出结论的人。
【16题详解】
根据空前的“How much time do you spend doing research before you make a decision There are people who go over every detail exhaustively before making a choice.(你在做决定之前花了多少时间做研究？有些人在做出选择之前会仔细考虑每一个细节。)”可知，有些人在作出选择前会仔细考虑每个细节，空后的“Psychologists call this way of thinking a cognitive bias (偏见), a tendency toward a specific mental mistake.(心理学家称这种思维方式为认知偏差(cognitive bias)，即倾向于某种特定的心理错误。)”可知，心理学家指出这种思维方式为认知偏差，与空前提到的做选择前考虑每个细节的人不同，由此可知，此空处应提到有认知偏差的人，C选项“But a fair number of individuals are quick to jump to conclusions. (但相当一部分人很快就会得出结论)”讲述的是一些很快得出结论的一部分人，呼应上文仔细考虑每一个细节的人，与空前的内容为转折关系，符合逻辑，but为解题的关键信息。故选C项。
【17题详解】
根据空前的“We found that jumpers made more errors than non-jumpers on problems that require thoughtful analysis. (我们发现，在需要深思熟虑分析的问题上，急于得出结论的人比仔细思考的人犯的错误更多。)”可知，研究发现急于得出结论的人比仔细思考的人犯的错误更多，结合空后的“In a quiz about US civics, they overestimated the chance that their answers were right much more than other participants did – even when their answers were wrong. (在一次关于美国公民的测验中，他们大大高估了自己答案正确的几率——即使他们的答案是错误的。)”可推知，急于得出结论的人不仅容易犯错，而且还大大高估自己答案的正确几率，由此可知，此空处应是讲述急于得出结论的人的过于自信，B选项“Also, jumpers had problems with overconfidence.(此外，急于得出结论的人也有过度自信的问题)”中的also可知，此处继续讲述急于得出结论的人的问题，符合题意，呈上启下。故选B项。
【18题详解】
根据空前的“Psychological researchers commonly distinguish between two pathways of thought: automatic system, which reflects ideas that come to the mind easily, spontaneously and without effort, and controlled system including conscious and effortful reasoning. Jumpers and non-jumpers are equally influenced by automatic thoughts.(心理学研究人员通常将思维分为两种途径：一种是自动系统，它反映了头脑中容易、自发和不需要努力的想法；另一种是控制系统，包括有意识和努力的推理。)”可知，两类人都受到自动思维的影响，但因为是两种不同的人，因此他们在受影响的程度，或思维模式方面可能有所不同，F选项“The jumpers, however, did not engage in controlled reasoning to the same degree as non-jumpers. (然而，急于得出结论的人并没有像仔细思考者那样进行控制推理。)”中的controlled reasoning与空前的“controlled system including conscious and effortful reasoning”内容相关，符合题意，承接上文，指出了他们的不同之处，且与空前的内容为转折关系，其中的however也是解题的关键信息。故选F项。
【19题详解】
根据空后的“A method called metacognitive training can be used to target their biases, which can help people think more deliberatively. (一种叫做元认知训练的方法可以用来针对他们的偏见，这可以帮助人们更慎重地思考。)”可知，一种叫做元认知训练可以帮助人们更慎重地思考，有方法帮助急于得出结论的人克服他们的问题，由此可知，本段讲述的内容与上文中讲述的急于得出结论的人的问题不同，讲述的是解决急于得出结论的人问题的方法，A选项“Happily, there may be some hope for jumpers.(令人高兴的是，急于得出结论的人或许还有一线希望。)”讲述的内容把话题从上文讲述的急于得出结论的人的问题分析过渡到下文中讲述的解决急于得出结论的人问题的方法，符合题意。故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据空前的“In everyday life, the question of whether we should think things through or instead go with our guts is a frequent and important one.(在日常生活中，我们是应该把事情想清楚，还是应该凭直觉做事，这是一个经常出现的重要问题。)”可知，我们在日常生活中经常考虑是把事情想清楚还是凭直觉做事情，结合空后的“Sometimes the most important decision we make can be to take some more time before making a choice.(有时候，我们做的最重要的决定可能是在做出选择之前多花点时间。)”可知，相较于按照直觉行事，深思熟虑对我们更有帮助，由此可知，此空处应是说明我们在作出决定的时候是采取按照直觉还是深思熟虑，G选项“Recent studies show that even gathering just a little bit more evidence may help us avoid a major mistake.(最近的研究表明，即使多收集一点证据，也可能帮助我们避免犯重大错误。)”通过研究发现的结论来说明，在作出决定前，深思熟虑会让我们避免重大错误，与空前的内容衔接，且与空后的内容吻合，符合题意。故选G项。

【答案】One possible version:
Good morning, everyone. It’s my great honor to deliver a speech about friendship.
As the famous saying goes, “Life is partly what we make it and partly what is made by the friends we choose.” It’s we who determine our future, but our friends also play a vital part in it.
Reflecting on my experiences, I’ve come to realize the profound impact my friends have had on me. One of my closest friends, Wang Wei, possesses a deep love for reading. Through his enthusiastic recommendations, I have gradually discovered the joy of reading.
Choosing our friends wisely is crucial. It is essential to seek out individuals who share our values. Besides, surrounding ourselves with positive people can serve as a powerful source of inspiration, boosting our self-belief and encouraging us to pursue our dreams.
Above is my understanding of friendship. Thank you.

I still remember my friends giving me the advice: Try something new. I was stressed and, of course, also on my phone too much. I was writing about food for work, so cooking didn’t really count as a hobby anymore, nor did reading, nor socialising, especially since all of my friends worked in my industry. I needed something in my life that existed apart from all that.
“Maybe something you can do with your hands.” The suggestion felt like an escape exit: Maybe a hobby could free me from my work. Cooking had once been the thing I did to relax when I got home from work, the thing I was curious about, and the thing that made my brain away from its standard complaints. The kitchen had once been a release, but now it was part of my professional life. It needed a replacement. A few months later, I dutifully signed up for a ceramics (制陶艺术) class at a studio near my apartment.
At the studio, I started as a lazy learner, but after a few months I became addicted, signing up for more classes when my term ended. I had a place to go in my free time and something to be curious about, and my goals were unrelated to outer forces: a boss, a job, a market, a reader. Unlike with writing, my progress was quantifiable (可量化的): Now I can make a vase this tall. Now I have made a pot. Now my handles are beautiful. Now I have made two things that more or less look like a pair.
Finally finding a hobby that is just for my own enjoyment is a release. I enjoy having something to do that doesn’t involve a screen and therefore feels far from the style of work to which I am most accustomed – hands covered in clay cannot swipe (滑屏) very well. Making time for this also means carving out time, for creation and inspiration, and also for the rest that is required for me to reflect on my life. It is something more than a new hobby. This is the peace that everyone needs in our life.
4. What is true about the author’s current profession
A. It is also the author’s hobby.
B. It requires the author to use the phone a lot.
C. The author is popular in the cooking industry.
D. The author records and posts others’ cooking online.

C. The author gradually took up ceramics as a hobby.
D. Outer forces played a part in the author’s progress in ceramics.

A. Calm. B. Confident. C. Inspired. D. Energetic.
7. What’s the writing purpose of this text
A. To show the benefits of having a hobby. B. To share a story of a balance of life.
C. To introduce an interesting hobby. D. To help readers choose a new hobby.
C
In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett—“Fail again. Fail better.” It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success, a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory.
However, psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively. In other words, we fail to “fail forward”. We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed, and become less motivated to persevere(坚持) and reach our goals. This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”, which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.
Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism(机制). “Most of us picture ourselves as able people, so when feedback(反馈) from others suggests the opposite, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he says. “The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the outside signal, so we can keep a positive sense of self. We do this even without noticing.”
If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you might convince yourself that you don’t really want it at all, and stop applying for similar positions. The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial, or if you lose a singing contest. “We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our ‘Plan C’ is actually our ‘Plan A’,” Sjastad says.
It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be healthy to change if the process is no longer making us happy. But the “sour-grape effect” may lead us to come to this decision prematurely, rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve.
Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, however, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.
8. Why does the author mention the speech of inspirational speakers in Paragraph 1
A. To offer an approach to handling failure.
B. To introduce a common attitude towards failure.
C. To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure.
D. To discuss the relationship between success and failure.
9. What can we learn from Paragraph 3 about the “sour-grape effect”
A. It does harm to our self-image. B. It pictures us as perfect people.
C. It protects us from false feedback. D. It makes us refuse negative feedback to ourselves.
10. What does the underlined word “prematurely” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Hurriedly. B. Mistakenly. C. Unhappily. D. Carelessly.
11. Which statement would the author most probably agree with
A. Get ready to replace “Plan A” with “Plan C”.
B. Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self.
C. Don’t quit when goals no longer make you happy.
D. Don’t escape when our self-image gets challenged.
D
If you plan to live another 10 years, you should expect to live in a world with machines doing things you don’t like doing today. Even more will be done without your lifting the finger. It’s not only simple tasks such as cleaning, laundry and dishes. High-end services previously not accessible to you will now be in your economic grasp. Your personal robot will know you better than you know yourself. This almost unimaginable lifestyle could become common for the public, because of the achievements of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to date and the fact that 5G is on the way to provide.
The reasons to be fearful of AI and robotics are well-founded. AI can compete with our brains and robots can compete with our bodies. And in many cases, they can beat us handily already. And the more time that passes, the better these emerging technologies will become, while our own capabilities (能力) are expected to remain more or less the same.
There has been a love-hate relationship between individuals and big companies long before the present era of big tech, but when big tech, AI and robotics work together, it gets even scarier.
Tomorrow’s big tech companies may make use of AI and thus control the lives of their users to some degree. In such a world, third-party organisations may know more about us than we know about ourselves. Decisions will be made on our behalf and increasingly without our awareness, and those decisions won’t necessarily be in our best interests.
These issues are foreseeable, and the stakes (风险) are high. So, what can be done In order to achieve the highest possible public trust in the benefits of AI and robotics in our lives, there are three things urgent for action. First, the industry’s AI and robotics leaders must start to combine consumers’ interests in safety and privacy into their technology offerings – something we haven’t seen before in the development of the Internet and mobile markets. Second, big tech companies and their smaller start-up siblings, should support common agreements, principles, protocols, standards and other policies. The more policy structure there is in place that protects consumer interests, the more trust AI and robotics deserve. Finally, a trusted organisation should design and carry out a reliable means of creating and protecting the new AI and robotics policy structure from bad influence.
Luckily, although the gap between tech advances and the lagging policy structure is widening, there is still time to catch up – if we act now.
The combination of AI, robotics and big tech companies is potentially dangerous, but by taking the appropriate steps now we can avoid these dangers and enjoy the huge potential benefits that they have to offer.
12. Which is among the reasons for people’s fear of AI and robotics
A. AI, robotics and 5G can work together. B. The new lifestyles cannot be imagined.
C. AI and robotics keep improving nonstop. D. AI and robotics can do everything for us.
13. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage
A. Big tech companies will control people’s life completely.
B. The benefits brought by AI and robotics cannot be enjoyed.
C. The relationship between humans and big companies may be scary.
D. The third-party organisation will make decisions for humans’ good.
14. According to the passage, how can trusted AI and robotics be built
A. More policies that protect AI and robotics should be made.
B. AI and robotics should be controlled by big tech companies.
C. The development of AI and robotics should be slowed down.
D. Consumers’ interests in safety and privacy should be considered.
15. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. Achieving Trusted AI and Robotics by Making Policies
B. Avoiding the Potential Dangers of AI, Robotics and Big Tech
C. AI and Robotics Creating a New Lifestyle for Human Beings
D. AI, Robotics and 5G Working Together to Benefit Human Beings

How much time do you spend doing research before you make a decision There are people who go over every detail exhaustively before making a choice. ____16____ Psychologists call this way of thinking a cognitive bias (偏见), a tendency toward a specific mental mistake.
To study “jumping”, we examined decision-making patterns among more than 600 people from the general population. We found that jumpers made more errors than non-jumpers on problems that require thoughtful analysis. ____17____ In a quiz about US civics, they overestimated the chance that their answers were right much more than other participants did – even when their answers were wrong.
So what is behind “jumping” Psychological researchers commonly distinguish between two pathways of thought: automatic system, which reflects ideas that come to the mind easily, spontaneously and without effort, and controlled system including conscious and effortful reasoning. Jumpers and non-jumpers are equally influenced by automatic thoughts. ____18____ It is the controlled system that helps people avoid mental biases introduced by the automatic system. As a result, jumpers were more likely to accept the conclusions made at first blush without further questioning. A lack of controlled thinking is also more broadly connected to their problematic beliefs and faulty reasoning.
____19____ A method called metacognitive training can be used to target their biases, which can help people think more deliberatively. In this training, participants are confronted with their own biases. They can learn about the missteps and other ways of thinking through the problem at hand. It helps to chip away at participants’ overconfidence.
In everyday life the question of whether we should think things through or instead go with our guts is a frequent and important one. ____20____ Sometimes the most important decision we make can be to take some more time before making a choice.
A. Happily, there may be some hope for jumpers.
B. Also, jumpers had problems with overconfidence.
C. But a fair number of individuals are quick to jump to conclusions.
D. It is certainly possible for them to overthink things to take a decision.
E. We plan to continue the work to trace other problems introduced by jumping.
F. The jumpers, however, did not engage in controlled reasoning to the same degree as non-jumpers.
G. Recent studies show that even gathering just a little bit more evidence may help us avoid a major mistake.
