In the days before the Internet, critical thinking was the most important skill of informed citizens. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development, and her colleagues, an even more important skill is critical ignoring.
As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose us to profit-generating advertisements. Therefore,we are no longer customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. Toprotect ourselves from this, Kozyreva advocates for learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers intentionally control their information environment to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring comprises three strategies. The first is to design ourenvironments, which involves the removal of low-quality yet hard-to-resist information from around. Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Likewise, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if one tries to bank onwillpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to just keep them out of sightto begin with.
The next is to evaluate the reliability of information whose purpose is to protect you from false and misleading information. It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream news agencies which have their reputations for being trustworthy.
The last goes by the phrase “do not feed the trolls.” Trolls are actors who internationally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm. It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight, but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts. So, it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.
By sharpening our critical ignoring skills in these ways, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding falling victim to those who try to control our attention, time, and minds.
4. What can we learn about the attention economy from paragraph 2
A. It offers little information. B. It features depressing stories.
C. It saves time for Internet users. D. It seeks profits from each click.
5. Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3
A. To discuss the quality of information
B. To prove the benefits of healthy food.
C. To show the importance of environments.
D. To explain the effectiveness of willpower.
6. What should we do to handle Internet trolls according to the text
A. Reveal their intention. B. Turn a deaf ear to them.
C. Correct their behaviour. D. Send hard facts to them.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. Reasons for critical thinking in the attention economy.
B. Practising the skill of critical ignoring in the digital age.
C. Maximizing the benefits of critical ignoring on the Internet.
D. Strategies of abandoning critical thinking for Internet users
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文体。文章主要讨论了在数字时代，由于信息过载和注意力经济，批判性思维不再是唯一重要的技能，而更为关键的是“批判性忽视”的技能。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose us to profit-generating advertisements. Therefore,we are no longer customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention.(正如研究人员指出的那样，我们生活在一个注意力经济中，互联网上的内容生产者在争夺我们的注意力。他们用大量的情感和引人注目的故事来吸引我们，而提供的有用信息却很少，所以他们可以让我们接触到盈利的广告。因此，我们不再是客户而是产品，我们点击的每一个链接都是在销售我们的时间和注意力)”可知，注意力经济可以让我们接触到盈利性广告，并从每次点击中寻求利润。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Likewise, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if one tries to bank onwillpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to just keep them out of sightto begin with.(同样，我们需要建立一个数字环境，让那些吸引眼球的东西远离我们的视线。就像节食一样，如果一个人试图依靠意志力不去点击引人注目的“新闻”，他肯定会失败。所以，最好一开始就把它们放在视线之外)”可推知，作者在第三段提到节食者，是为了强调我们需要建立一个让那些吸引眼球的东西远离我们的视线的数字环境，以此来表明环境的重要性。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Trolls are actors who internationally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm. It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight, but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts. So, it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.(喷子是指故意在网上传播虚假和有害信息以造成伤害的行为者。回复他们澄清事实可能很有吸引力，但喷子只关心惹恼别人，而不是事实。所以，最好不要用我们的关注来奖励他们的坏行为)”可知，对付网络喷子，我们最好对他们充耳不闻。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development, and her colleagues, an even more important skill is critical ignoring.(但根据马克斯·普朗克人类发展研究所的心理学家阿纳斯塔西娅·科兹列娃和她的同事们的说法，在数字时代，一项更重要的技能是“批判性忽视”)”和第三段中“According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring comprises three strategies.(Kozyreva认为，“批判性忽视”包括三种策略)”以及后文对这三种策略的具体介绍可推知，所以本文主要讨论了在数字时代，需要练习“批判性忽视”技巧。故选B项。
C
Labor Day in America began more than 100 years ago to honor low-paid factory workers.
Labor Day also informally marks the end of summer. Many students return to school after Labor Day. The hot days of summer turn cooler. Many Americans celebrate the holiday with an outdoor family picnic.
But Labor Day started with a struggle. On May 1, 1889, workers demonstrated on the streets of Paris, France. International Labor Day was born. Most industrialized countries in the world—except the United States and Canada—celebrate Labor Day on the first of May.
On September 5, 1882, in New York City. About 10,000 workers walked through the streets to show the strength of organized labor. For many years after that, American workers used the first Monday in September to ask for better working conditions and pay. Music was a part of many of those marches.
Labor songs traditionally tell stories of conflict (冲突) and hopes for a better life. Many traditional American labor songs came from workers in the coal mines of the South. Mine owners were bitterly against workers’ unions (工会). In Kentucky, company police searched for union leaders. They waited outside a worker’s home for several days to stop him from organizing.
The coal miner’s wife, Florence Reece, stayed inside with her children. She wrote this song, “Which Side Are You On ” Another American labor song is called “Bread and Roses.” It is based on a poem by James Oppenheim, published in December of 1911.
The poem speaks about the women’s labor movement. At that time, conditions in factories, where many women worked, were horrible. A fire at a clothing factory in New York killed 146 people.
A month after Oppenheim’s poem was published, textile workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts went on strike, which won them higher pay and better working conditions. Oppenheim’s poem gained more attention.
8. What does Labor Day mean to students in the United States
A. It’s a time to eat in the wild. B. Their summer vacation is over.
C. It teaches them to respect labor. D. They learn much about history.
9. What does the underlined word “demonstrated” mean in paragraph 3
A. Fought. B. United. C. Marched. D. Quarreled.
10. Why did the company police wait outside a worker’s home
A. To force him to stay at home. B. To prevent his wife writing the song.
C. To try to communicate with him. D. To stop marches being organized.
11. What do we know about Oppenheim
A. He cared for working women’s rights. B. He created the song “Bread and Roses”.
C. He reported the fire at a clothing factory. D. He led the labor movement in Lawrence.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了劳动节在美国的历史。这个全国性的节日始于100多年前，是为了纪念低收入的工厂工人。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Labor Day also informally marks the end of summer. Many students return to school after Labor Day.(劳动节也非正式地标志着夏天的结束。许多学生在劳动节后返校)”可知，许多学生在夏末时的劳动节后返回学校，即劳动节的到来意味着学生们的暑假要结束了。故选B。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中“But Labor Day started with a struggle. On May 1, 1889, workers demonstrated on the streets of Paris, France. International Labor Day was born.(但劳动节始于一场斗争。在1889年五月一日，工人们在法国巴黎的街道上demonstrated。国际劳动节就此诞生)”可知，这里介绍劳动节的诞生由来，工人们通过一种行为来斗争，来获取正当权益，联系下一段“On September 5, 1882, in New York City. About 10,000 workers walked through the streets to show the strength of organized labor. For many years after that, American workers used the first Monday in September to ask for better working conditions and pay. Music was a part of many of those marches.(在1882年九月五日的纽约城里。约10000名工人走过大街来展示工会的力量。在那之后的多年里，美国工人都在九月的第一个星期天要求更好的工作条件和薪资。音乐也是那些游行中的一部分)”的描述，显然工人们是通过上街游行的方式来表达诉求，划线词与marched是同义词。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“In Kentucky, company police searched for union leaders. They waited outside a worker’s home for several days to stop him from organizing.(在肯塔基，雇佣警察会寻找工会领导。他们在工人的家门外等了好几天，以阻止他去组织游行)”可知，公司雇用的警察在工人的家门口等待，是为了阻止他组织游行，与D选项描述相符。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第七、八段的内容“The poem speaks about the women’s labor movement. At that time, conditions in factories, where many women worked, were horrible. A fire at a clothing factory in New York killed 146 people.(这首诗歌讲述了女性劳工的运动。在那时，有许多女性在其中工作的工厂情况都很糟糕。一家纽约的服装厂发生大火，146人丧生)”和“A month after Oppenheim’s poem was published, textile workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts went on strike, which won them higher pay and better working conditions. Oppenheim’s poem gained more attention.(Oppenheim的诗歌出版一个月后，马萨诸塞州劳伦斯市的纺织工人举行罢工，这为他们赢得了更高的工资和更好的工作条件。Oppenheim的诗也获得了更多的关注)”可知，这首名为“面包和玫瑰”的美国劳工歌曲是根据Oppenheim 1911年12月发表的一首诗改编的，主要讲的是妇女的劳工运动，许多女性劳工在其鼓舞下，勇敢地奋起抗争以争取正当权益，这反映出Oppenheim是关心劳动妇女权利的。故选A。
D

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语以及提示续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Ollie Simmons was good at maths, but Ruby Riley wasn’t. Well, Ruby didn’t think she was. She sat next to Ollie and so she just copied him. This was the best way she had found to do maths and she didn’t have to think at all.
One day the teacher said, “We will be having a maths test after lunch.” Ruby felt there were butterflies in the stomach. “Can I copy off you ” she whispered to Ollie. Ollie thought for a minute. “What will you give me ” he whispered back. Ruby showed Oilie a stone she had. It was round and smooth and the colour of the sea. “OK!” he said, “Give me the stone, and then you can copy my answers.” Ollie got full marks in the maths test and so did Ruby. Their names went on the top of the maths champion chart.
Every week there was a maths test and every week Ollie and Ruby got full marks together. Ollie had to share the top place with Ruby, but it was worth it. He had a torch, a key chain, a golf ball and a gift box!
One day, there was a maths test again. This time, Ruby picked a watch, thinking everything would go as usual—Ollie would let her copy and they would be on the top of the chart together again. But she was wrong. The headmaster came into Ruby’s class. “I want to see Ollie Simmons,” she said. Ollie was gone for a long time. Then the door opened. It was the headmaster again. “Ruby Riley, she said,” Come with me, please. “Ruby felt like a bird in a cage—there was no way to escape. The headmaster told Ruby that every lunchtime for five weeks she had to do maths. “You have to learn to think for yourself,” she said. “And Ollie has to learn a lesson, too. He’s going to teach you.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150字左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上相应位置作答。
Hanging her head down. Ruby felt so regretful for getting Ollie into trouble.

3. “我很抱歉，我想向你真诚地道歉。”露比泪流满面地对奥利说。
4. 听了这话，奥利羞得两颊发烫，说：“我也应该为这件事负责。”
5. 为了弥补这个错误，我将尽我最大的努力帮助你。”
6. 露比擦了擦眼泪，决心不遗余力地和奥利一起学习数学。

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Hanging her head down, Ruby felt so regretful for getting Ollie into trouble. She realized that it was her fault that led them to such a shameful situation. “I’m really sorry, and I want to sincerely apologize to you,” Ruby said to Ollie with tears streaming down her face. Upon hearing this, Ollie’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and he replied, “I should also take responsibility for this. To make up for this mistake, I will do my best to help you.” Ruby wiped away her tears, resolving to spare no effort to study mathematics with Ollie.
Ollie proved to be a good teacher for Ruby. Whenever Ruby encountered difficulties, he was always willing to assist. As time went by, with Ollie’s help, Ruby gradually made progress in mathematics. Eventually, they both achieved full marks in the final exam again. The headmaster praised them for their progress. At that moment, they felt very proud of themselves. It was an unforgettable and meaningful experience that taught them a lesson in honesty and true friendship.
【解析】
【导语】本文通过Ruby和Ollie的故事，展示了两位学生在数学学习上的互助与成长，以及面对错误时的诚实和责任感。Ruby原本依赖Ollie在数学考试中作弊，但最终两人都意识到了错误，并在校长的指导下，通过共同努力，学会了独立思考和诚实学习。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
① 根据第一段首句“Ruby低着头，对于给Ollie带来麻烦感到非常后悔。”可知，第一段续写围绕Ruby对Ollie的道歉以及两人共同学习数学的决心。Ruby感到羞愧和后悔，因为她意识到自己的行为不仅影响了自己，也影响了Ollie。
② 根据第二段首句“Ollie证明是Ruby的一位好老师。”可知，第二段续写描述了Ollie如何帮助Ruby提高数学能力，以及他们最终在期末考试中取得的成绩和校长的表扬。
2. 续写线索：感到后悔——流泪道歉——承担责任——承诺帮助——决心学习——成为好老师——取得进步——获得表扬——感到自豪

In the days before the Internet, critical thinking was the most important skill of informed citizens. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development, and her colleagues, an even more important skill is critical ignoring.
As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose us to profit-generating advertisements. Therefore,we are no longer customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. Toprotect ourselves from this, Kozyreva advocates for learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers intentionally control their information environment to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring comprises three strategies. The first is to design ourenvironments, which involves the removal of low-quality yet hard-to-resist information from around. Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Likewise, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if one tries to bank onwillpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to just keep them out of sightto begin with.
The next is to evaluate the reliability of information, whose purpose is to protect you from false and misleading information. It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream news agencies which have their reputations for being trustworthy.
The last goes by the phrase “do not feed the trolls.” Trolls are actors who internationally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm. It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight, but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts. So, it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.
By sharpening our critical ignoring skills in these ways we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding falling victim to those who try to control our attention, time, and minds.
4. What can we learn about the attention economy from paragraph 2
A. It offers little information. B. It features depressing stories.
C. It saves time for Internet users. D. It seeks profits from each click.
5. Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3
A. To discuss the quality of information
B. To prove the benefits of healthy food.
C. To show the importance of environments.
D. To explain the effectiveness of willpower.
6. What should we do to handle Internet trolls according to the text
A. Reveal their intention. B. Turn a deaf ear to them.
C. Correct their behaviour. D. Send hard facts to them.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. Reasons for critical thinking in the attention economy.
B. Practising the skill of critical ignoring in the digital age.
C. Maximizing the benefits of critical ignoring on the Internet.
D. Strategies of abandoning critical thinking for Internet users
C
Labor Day in America began more than 100 years ago to honor low-paid factory workers.
Labor Day also informally marks the end of summer. Many students return to school after Labor Day. The hot days of summer turn cooler. Many Americans celebrate the holiday with an outdoor family picnic.
But Labor Day started with a struggle. On May 1, 1889, workers demonstrated on the streets of Paris, France. International Labor Day was born. Most industrialized countries in the world—except the United States and Canada—celebrate Labor Day on the first of May.
On September 5, 1882, in New York City. About 10,000 workers walked through the streets to show the strength of organized labor. For many years after that, American workers used the first Monday in September to ask for better working conditions and pay. Music was a part of many of those marches.
Labor songs traditionally tell stories of conflict (冲突) and hopes for a better life. Many traditional American labor songs came from workers in the coal mines of the South. Mine owners were bitterly against workers’ unions (工会). In Kentucky, company police searched for union leaders. They waited outside a worker’s home for several days to stop him from organizing.
The coal miner’s wife, Florence Reece, stayed inside with her children. She wrote this song, “Which Side Are You On ” Another American labor song is called “Bread and Roses.” It is based on a poem by James Oppenheim, published in December of 1911.
The poem speaks about the women’s labor movement. At that time, conditions in factories, where many women worked, were horrible. A fire at a clothing factory in New York killed 146 people.
A month after Oppenheim’s poem was published, textile workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts went on strike, which won them higher pay and better working conditions. Oppenheim’s poem gained more attention.
8. What does Labor Day mean to students in the United States
A. It’s a time to eat in the wild. B. Their summer vacation is over.
C. It teaches them to respect labor. D. They learn much about history.
9. What does the underlined word “demonstrated” mean in paragraph 3
A. Fought. B. United. C. Marched. D. Quarreled.
10. Why did the company police wait outside a worker’s home
A. To force him to stay at home. B. To prevent his wife writing the song.
C. To try to communicate with him. D. To stop marches being organized.
11. What do we know about Oppenheim
A. He cared for working women’s rights. B. He created the song “Bread and Roses”.
C. He reported the fire at a clothing factory. D. He led the labor movement in Lawrence.
D
History is a record of the people and events of the past. People study history to discover how the past has shaped the world of today. All students learn about history in school. Teachers in this field have a strong interest in social studies. They have a deep knowledge of human activities in the past. They usually like to study maps and to read stories about people’s lives.
A person must be educated and develop skills to be a history teacher. A history teacher must have a college degree. It is also helpful for them to practice in a classroom with students. Teachers must be able to communicate well. They must know how to present information to their students and how to manage a classroom. They also need to enjoy working with young people.

Ollie Simmons was good at maths, but Ruby Riley wasn’t. Well, Ruby didn’t think she was. She sat next to Ollie and so she just copied him. This was the best way she had found to do maths and she didn’t have to think at all.
One day the teacher said, “We will be having a maths test after lunch.” Ruby felt there were butterflies in the stomach. “Can I copy off you ” she whispered to Ollie. Ollie thought for a minute. “What will you give me ” he whispered back. Ruby showed Oilie a stone she had. It was round and smooth and the colour of the sea. “OK!” he said, “Give me the stone, and then you can copy my answers.” Ollie got full marks in the maths test and so did Ruby. Their names went on the top of the maths champion chart.
Every week there was a maths test and every week Ollie and Ruby got full marks together. Ollie had to share the top place with Ruby, but it was worth it. He had a torch, a key chain, a golf ball and a gift box!
One day, there was a maths test again. This time, Ruby picked a watch, thinking everything would go as usual—Ollie would let her copy and they would be on the top of the chart together again. But she was wrong. The headmaster came into Ruby’s class. “I want to see Ollie Simmons,” she said. Ollie was gone for a long time. Then the door opened. It was the headmaster again. “Ruby Riley, she said,” Come with me, please. “Ruby felt like a bird in a cage—there was no way to escape. The headmaster told Ruby that every lunchtime for five weeks she had to do maths. “You have to learn to think for yourself,” she said. “And Ollie has to learn a lesson, too. He’s going to teach you.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150字左右;
