第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
It was a cold January morning in Washington DC, a man sat at a subway station and started to play the violin. He played for about 45 minutes.
Three minutes went by, and a middle-aged man stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to take care of his own things.
A minute later, the violinist received his first tip: a woman threw some money without stopping, and walked away.
Only a 3-year-old boy took the music seriously, going over, sitting down and soon losing himself in the wonderful performance. His mother wished to hurry along. but the kid kept looking at the violinist.
When he finished playing, no one noticed it. No one applauded (鼓掌).
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 3.5 million dollars. Joshua Bell played the same music with the same violin and the seats each cost 100 dollars at a theatre two days before.
Joshua Bell’s playing in the subway station was a social experiment. It asks questions: in a common environment at a wrong hour, do we enjoy beauty Do we stop to make a response (反应) If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other things are we ignoring (忽视)
1. How many people stopped to listen to the music carefully
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. None.
2. Why did the man play the violin at the subway station
A. To make some money. B. To see people’s response.
C. To practice his skills. D. To teach a music lesson.
3 What does the writer suggest in the last paragraph
A. Don’t be always in a hurry.
B. Stop to enjoy street performance.
C. Enjoy beautiful music at a theatre.
D. Don’t miss the wonderful moment in life.
B
When some people don’t know much about a topic, they may not realise just how little they know. As a result, they may become overconfident and overestimate (高估) what they can do. A person might think he will get a B, for example, when he might not know enough to pass the test at all. The overconfidence has a name — the DunningKruger effect.
Charles Atwood, an educator at the University of Utah, was looking for possible reasons why some students at the university failed chemistry tests. He realised success for the students depended not only on what they knew but also on how much they didn’t know. If he wanted the students to improve, he would have to teach them to recognise the gaps in their knowledge.
Knowing just how bad they are in a subject may not help a student get better. Atwood thought lifting metacognition (元认知) might help the students to make sure where they needed help. Metacognition, according to Atwood, is assessing (评定) how you deal with a problem. That could help the students realise just how much chemistry they didn’t know so they could study accordingly.
To see if metacognition could work, Atwood studied two classes, which were taught chemistry in the same way. But students in one class were asked before each test how they thought they would perform (表现). After each test, students in the class got their scores through a computer program. Then the program gave them some topics which they’d been especially bad at in the test. Then, they were guided into making a study plan that would prepare them for the next test.
After a term, the class that got the guided study did better in the chemistry course, especially those who had been the most overconfident in the beginning. In addition, they reported having stopped their dangerous overconfidence.
It’s no fun shaking students’ confidence, but in the long run, students will get a lot from Atwood’s method. Confidence has its advantages, but students want to be both confident and knowledgeable.
4. Why are some people affected by the Dunning-Kruger effect
A. They look down upon others.
B. They aren’t interested in learning.
C. They always want to get good grades in tests.
D. They don’t have a correct view of their abilities.
5. How did Atwood help the students who failed chemistry tests
A. By giving them encouragement.
B. By telling them what topics to learn.
C. By helping them set right learning goals.
D. By making them learn from their failures.
6. When were some topics given to the students in Atwood’s study
A. After the next test started. B. Before they got their scores.
C. Before they made a study plan. D. After they made some progress.
7. What is the author’s attitude towards Atwood’s applying metacognition to his study
A. Supportive. B. Uninterested. C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
C
The Night Watch was commissioned (委托) in 1639 by Frans BanninckCocq, the captain of Amsterdam’s civil militia (民兵组织), and described him and his 17 members. It was completed in 1642 by Rembrandt van Rijn and spent more than 70 years in the hall of the civil militia.
In 1715, Dutch officials decided to move the painting to the city hall in Amsterdam’s Royal Palace on the Dam. The almost 12-foot by 14-foot artwork couldn’t go through the doors, so the movers made a decision and cut off the edges of the painting. The missing parts were never recovered. However, art historians have been aware of the missing items thanks to a smaller copy of the original scene painted by Dutch artist Gerrit Lundens.
In 2019, officials of Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum, where the painting has been displayed since 1808, decided to recreate the missing parts. To help them with the restoration (修复), the team, led by the museum’s senior scientist, Robert Erdmann, turned to a new AI algorithm (算法). Called Convolutional Neural Networks, it helps computers figure out what images may have once looked like. The scientists scanned high-resolution images of the original (原作) and Ludens’ painting to the computer. The AI was able to study and correct the painting’s perspective. It also recognized the exact colors used by the Dutch master and could even copy his brushstrokes.
The “missing” parts were printed and mounted to the painting. The left side included two men watching the event and a young boy running away from the militia. A drummer and a barking dog were added to the painting’s right side.
The AI helped the museum reproduce the best possible version of the missing pieces. But Taco Dibbits, director of the Rijksmuseum, thinks that the original missing parts are still around and will be returned to the museum some day. The restored painting will be on show and it can also be seen online on the museum’s website.
8. Why did Rembrandt van Rijn create the painting
A. He loved recording people’s life of his time.
B. Frans Banninck Cocq requested him to do that.
C. He wanted to advertise Amsterdam’s civil militia.
D. The civil militia provided him with strong inspiration.
9. How did Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum restore the painting
A. By copying Ludens’ paintings. B. By using advanced techniques.
C. By employing a Dutch artist. D. By creating a smaller painting.
10. What do we know about Taco Dibbits
A He isn’t satisfied with the reproduced pieces.
B. He is trying to find the missing part of the painting.
C. He hopes the original missing parts will be found.
D. He wishes the restored painting will be always on display.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. The Night Watch finally comes to light.
B. The Rijksmuseum is restoring old paintings.
C. The Night Watch was restored to its original form.
D. The original parts of The Night Watch are still missing.
D
Global light pollution has increased by at least 49% over 25 years, new research shows. This data (数据) only includes light which can be seen through satellites, and scientists think the true increase may be significantly higher — up to 270% globally, and 400% in some areas.
This study shows not only of how bad light pollution has become as a problem of the whole world, but also that it is continuing to get worse, probably at a faster and faster rate.
The study highlights the “hidden impact (影响)” of the LED technology. LEDs send out more blue light than previous lamp technology, but satellite sensors can’t discover this blue light and so underestimate (低估) the level of emissions (排放物). The authors say the actual increase in the power sent out by outdoor lighting, and thus of light pollution, may be as high as 270%. “To take the UK as an example, if you pay no attention to the effect of the change to LEDs, you get the false impression that light pollution has recently weakened,” said researcher Dr Sanchez de Miguel. “However, it has really increased, very remarkably.”
Contrary to popular belief, the LED streetlights, while potentially providing some energy savings, has increased light pollution and also the impacts on flying insects (昆虫).
Ruskin Hartley, Executive Director of the International Dark-Sky Association, said, “Over the past 25 years, the use of LED lighting has been accompanied by rapid increases in light pollution all over the world.”
If no action is taken to change this trend (趋势), the impact on the natural environment will speed up, further worsening the biodiversity (生物多样性) crisis and wasting energy. Many studies have now shown that light pollution, from streetlights and other sources, can have major impacts on the natural environment. Such pollution is likely to have played a role in the huge decrease in insect populations.
12. How does the author illustrate that light pollution becomes worse
A. By referring to certain theories.
B. By providing comparative data.
C. By listing a lot of opinions.
D. By giving some examples.
13. Why was light pollution in the UK underestimated
A. Emission levels of LEDs are low.
B Satellite sensors are blind to LEDs.
C. Outdoor lighting is limited in the UK.
D. LEDs are less and less used in the UK.
14. What’s the general belief of LED streetlights
A. They are good for insects. B. They save lots of energy.
C. They cause light pollution. D. They are environment-friendly.
15. What does the last paragraph focus on
A. The harm of light pollution.
B. The causes of biological crises.
C. The trend of insect populations.
D. The importance of the natural environment.

B
When some people don’t know much about a topic, they may not realise just how little they know. As a result, they may become overconfident and overestimate (高估) what they can do. A person might think he will get a B, for example, when he might not know enough to pass the test at all. The overconfidence has a name — the DunningKruger effect.
Charles Atwood, an educator at the University of Utah, was looking for possible reasons why some students at the university failed chemistry tests. He realised success for the students depended not only on what they knew but also on how much they didn’t know. If he wanted the students to improve, he would have to teach them to recognise the gaps in their knowledge.
Knowing just how bad they are in a subject may not help a student get better. Atwood thought lifting metacognition (元认知) might help the students to make sure where they needed help. Metacognition, according to Atwood, is assessing (评定) how you deal with a problem. That could help the students realise just how much chemistry they didn’t know so they could study accordingly.
To see if metacognition could work, Atwood studied two classes, which were taught chemistry in the same way. But students in one class were asked before each test how they thought they would perform (表现). After each test, students in the class got their scores through a computer program. Then the program gave them some topics which they’d been especially bad at in the test. Then, they were guided into making a study plan that would prepare them for the next test.
After a term, the class that got the guided study did better in the chemistry course, especially those who had been the most overconfident in the beginning. In addition, they reported having stopped their dangerous overconfidence.
It’s no fun shaking students’ confidence, but in the long run, students will get a lot from Atwood’s method. Confidence has its advantages, but students want to be both confident and knowledgeable.
4. Why are some people affected by the Dunning-Kruger effect
A. They look down upon others.
B. They aren’t interested in learning.
C. They always want to get good grades in tests.
D. They don’t have a correct view of their abilities.
5. How did Atwood help the students who failed chemistry tests
A. By giving them encouragement.
B. By telling them what topics to learn.
C. By helping them set right learning goals.
D. By making them learn from their failures.
6. When were some topics given to the students in Atwood’s study
A. After the next test started. B. Before they got their scores.
C. Before they made a study plan. D. After they made some progress.
7. What is the author’s attitude towards Atwood’s applying metacognition to his study
A. Supportive. B. Uninterested. C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A

The Night Watch was commissioned (委托) in 1639 by Frans BanninckCocq, the captain of Amsterdam’s civil militia (民兵组织), and described him and his 17 members. It was completed in 1642 by Rembrandt van Rijn and spent more than 70 years in the hall of the civil militia.
In 1715, Dutch officials decided to move the painting to the city hall in Amsterdam’s Royal Palace on the Dam. The almost 12-foot by 14-foot artwork couldn’t go through the doors, so the movers made a decision and cut off the edges of the painting. The missing parts were never recovered. However, art historians have been aware of the missing items thanks to a smaller copy of the original scene painted by Dutch artist Gerrit Lundens.
In 2019, officials of Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum, where the painting has been displayed since 1808, decided to recreate the missing parts. To help them with the restoration (修复), the team, led by the museum’s senior scientist, Robert Erdmann, turned to a new AI algorithm (算法). Called Convolutional Neural Networks, it helps computers figure out what images may have once looked like. The scientists scanned high-resolution images of the original (原作) and Ludens’ painting to the computer. The AI was able to study and correct the painting’s perspective. It also recognized the exact colors used by the Dutch master and could even copy his brushstrokes.
The “missing” parts were printed and mounted to the painting. The left side included two men watching the event and a young boy running away from the militia. A drummer and a barking dog were added to the painting’s right side.
The AI helped the museum reproduce the best possible version of the missing pieces. But Taco Dibbits, director of the Rijksmuseum, thinks that the original missing parts are still around and will be returned to the museum some day. The restored painting will be on show and it can also be seen online on the museum’s website.
8. Why did Rembrandt van Rijn create the painting
A. He loved recording people’s life of his time.
B. Frans Banninck Cocq requested him to do that.
C. He wanted to advertise Amsterdam’s civil militia.
D. The civil militia provided him with strong inspiration.
9. How did Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum restore the painting
A. By copying Ludens’ paintings. B. By using advanced techniques.
C. By employing a Dutch artist. D. By creating a smaller painting.
10. What do we know about Taco Dibbits
A. He isn’t satisfied with the reproduced pieces.
B. He is trying to find the missing part of the painting.
C. He hopes the original missing parts will be found.
D. He wishes the restored painting will be always on display.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. The Night Watch finally comes to light.
B. The Rijksmuseum is restoring old paintings.
C. The Night Watch was restored to its original form.
D. The original parts of The Night Watch are still missing.

Global light pollution has increased by at least 49% over 25 years, new research shows. This data (数据) only includes light which can be seen through satellites, and scientists think the true increase may be significantly higher — up to 270% globally, and 400% in some areas.
This study shows not only of how bad light pollution has become as a problem of the whole world, but also that it is continuing to get worse, probably at a faster and faster rate.
The study highlights the “hidden impact (影响)” of the LED technology. LEDs send out more blue light than previous lamp technology, but satellite sensors can’t discover this blue light and so underestimate (低估) the level of emissions (排放物). The authors say the actual increase in the power sent out by outdoor lighting, and thus of light pollution, may be as high as 270%. “To take the UK as an example, if you pay no attention to the effect of the change to LEDs, you get the false impression that light pollution has recently weakened,” said researcher Dr Sanchez de Miguel. “However, it has really increased, very remarkably.”
Contrary to popular belief, the LED streetlights, while potentially providing some energy savings, has increased light pollution and also the impacts on flying insects (昆虫).
Ruskin Hartley, Executive Director of the International Dark-Sky Association, said, “Over the past 25 years, the use of LED lighting has been accompanied by rapid increases in light pollution all over the world.”
If no action is taken to change this trend (趋势), the impact on the natural environment will speed up, further worsening the biodiversity (生物多样性) crisis and wasting energy. Many studies have now shown that light pollution, from streetlights and other sources, can have major impacts on the natural environment. Such pollution is likely to have played a role in the huge decrease in insect populations.
12. How does the author illustrate that light pollution becomes worse
A. By referring to certain theories.
B. By providing comparative data.
C. By listing a lot of opinions.
D. By giving some examples.
13. Why was light pollution in the UK underestimated
A. Emission levels of LEDs are low.
B. Satellite sensors are blind to LEDs.
C. Outdoor lighting is limited in the UK.
D. LEDs are less and less used in the UK.
14. What’s the general belief of LED streetlights
A They are good for insects. B. They save lots of energy.
C. They cause light pollution. D. They are environment-friendly.
15. What does the last paragraph focus on
A. The harm of light pollution.
B. The causes of biological crises.
C. The trend of insect populations.
D. The importance of the natural environment.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是研究表明了光污染已经成为一个全球性问题,而且还在继续恶化,而且可能会以越来越快的速度恶化,该研究还强调了LED技术的“隐性影响”。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Global light pollution has increased by at least 49% over 25 years, new research shows. This data (数据) only includes light which can be seen through satellites, and scientists think the true increase may be significantly higher — up to 270% globally, and 400% in some areas.(一项新的研究表明,全球光污染在过去25年里至少增加了49%。这些数据只包括通过卫星可以看到的光,科学家们认为真正的增长可能要高得多——在全球范围内高达270%,在某些地区高达400%)”可推知,作者通过提供比较数据来说明光污染越来越严重。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“LEDs send out more blue light than previous lamp technology, but satellite sensors can’t discover this blue light and so underestimate (低估) the level of emissions (排放物).(LED比以前的灯技术发出更多的蓝光,但卫星传感器无法发现这种蓝光,因此低估了光污染排放水平)”可知,英国的光污染被低估了是因为卫星传感器看不到LED。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Contrary to popular belief, the LED streetlights, while potentially providing some energy savings, has increased light pollution and also the impacts on flying insects (昆虫).(与普遍的看法相反,LED路灯虽然可能会节省一些能源,但却增加了光污染,并对飞虫产生了影响)”可推知,大家对LED路灯的普遍看法是它们节省了大量的能源。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“If no action is taken to change this trend (趋势), the impact on the natural environment will speed up, further worsening the biodiversity (生物多样性) crisis and wasting energy. Many studies have now shown that light pollution, from streetlights and other sources, can have major impacts on the natural environment. Such pollution is likely to have played a role in the huge decrease in insect populations.(如果不采取行动改变这一趋势,对自然环境的影响将加速,进一步恶化生物多样性危机和浪费能源。许多研究表明,来自路灯和其他来源的光污染会对自然环境产生重大影响。这种污染很可能是导致昆虫数量大幅减少的原因之一)”可知,最后一段着重论述了光污染的危害。故选A。
