(2022·洛阳市高三统考)Do we still need cash The days of holding notes in our hands may be numbered. The advancement of technology and the increase of new electronic and mobile devices in today's world are set to revolutionize how we make payments. With a click of a mobile phone app，our entire wealth is literally at our fingertips. As digital forms are increasingly replacing cash payments，some think that we should become fully cash-free. However，I do not believe we should move towards a completely cash-free society.
One of the main concerns of a cashless world is the risk of a cheat and ridiculously，the inconvenience that follows. The instant content that accompanies cashless transactions (交易) could be compromised by online security issues. Technology experts argue that our current state of technology is unable to provide a secure cashless environment that could prevent people from accessing the system illegally and abusing the personal data. In addition，many online shopping sites lack strong systems that would protect their customers' personal information. Occasionally，when an account is “locked” due to a suspected cheating activity, having cash in hand becomes critical. In a cashless society，a victim of cheating would find himself locked out of his account and unable to have access to his money until the case is solved. Going cash-free causes great inconvenience in this case.
Another reason is that mankind might potentially become less thrift (节俭的). Paying in cash causes a psychological pain on consumers so that they are more cautious in their spending. As it is，cashless payments have already eased that pain somewhat. Thus，an even more careless digital payment could make us much less thrifty.
The idea of a cashless society is a very real，or even an exciting one. However，to safeguard the interests of all users，it is better to soften our enthusiasm—perhaps to be a less-cash society rather than a completely cashless one is a better option.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。随着技术的进步，虽然移动支付和刷卡支付取代了现金，但无现金的社会仍存在一些不安全和不方便的因素，如增加了诈骗风险、人们没那么节俭等。
1．How can cashless payments benefit people according to the author
A．They can warn people of risks.
B．They can remind people of mistakes.
C．They can reduce psychological pain.

2．What's the second reason the author tells to support his idea
A．The risk of a cheat.
B．The inconvenience.
C．The lack of safety.
D．The desire to purchase things.
解析：B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One of the main ...inconvenience that follows.”可知，无现金世界令人担忧的主要问题之一是诈骗的风险，以及随之而来的不方便。据此可知，“不方便”是作者不支持全部使用无现金支付的第二个理由。
3．What's the best title for the passage
A．Going Against the Cashless Wave
B．Going Completely Cashless Is True
C．Stopping Moving towards Being Cashless
D．We Do Not Need Cash Any Longer
解析：A 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，第一段尾句“However，I do not believe ...cash-free society.”为全文主旨句，再结合下文内容可知，本文旨在介绍作者反对完全无现金支付的观点和理由。故A项最适合作本文标题。
4．The passage is mainly developed by ．
A．giving examples
B．analyzing causes
C．making introductions
D．examining differences
解析：B 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文首段尾句提出本文观点：不支持完全无现金支付。接着第二段首句提出两个理由：不安全和不方便。第三段首句提出另一个原因：使用无现金支付让人们不再那么节俭。据此可知，本文是通过分析原因来行文的。
B
(2022·济南市高三二模)Just like happiness and sadness, anxiety is part of everyone's lived experience—but it's not always tolerated as such. “People often spend too much time and effort trying to get rid of anxiety，” says Dr. Joel Minden, a clinical psychologist. “I encourage them to remember that anxiety is a normal emotional response.”
If you try to banish anxiety, all you're doing is putting it more at the forefront of your mind. But if you accept anxiety as part of life, you can learn to relate to it with self-pity or even with humour. This is a cornerstone of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which has been gaining clinical validation, including by the American Psychological Association. ACT guides people to see their unpleasant emotions as just feelings and to accept that parts of life are hard. Sufferers are encouraged to begin a dialogue with anxious thoughts, examining their causes while also keeping in mind their personal goals and values.
This way of relating to anxiety has been a powerful strategy for John Bateman, the host of the podcast Our Anxiety Stories. When negative thoughts arise, he acknowledges them but doesn't let them drive his decisions. Over the years, Bateman has noticed that if he submits to his thoughts, they don't go away but dramatically increase. But if he recognizes them for what they are, just a passing thought and not a fact that needs to be acted on, they gradually go away.
Learning to live with anxiety is an individual process and one that requires trial and error to get just right. While acceptance is the first and most important step to take, some lifestyle changes have been proven to take the edge off anxiety, as well. Since tiredness, increased tension and stress leave us much easier to fall into anxiety, a well-balanced diet, sufficient rest and, especially, regular exercise can help us manage it better.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了临床心理学家认为人们经常不恰当地对待焦虑情绪，如果你接受焦虑是生活的一部分，你就可以学会正确地对待它。同时，作者还建议通过调整生活方式来缓解焦虑。
5．What may Dr. Joel Minden agree about anxiety
A．It goes hand in hand with joy.
B．It should be seriously taken.
C．It is easily-earned experience.
D．It is often improperly treated.
解析：D 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，乔尔·明登医生认为，人们常常花费太多时间和精力试图消除焦虑，但他认为焦虑是正常的情绪反应。由此可知，乔尔·明登医生对焦虑的看法是人们经常不恰当地对待它。故选D 项。
6．What can explain the underlined word “banish”in Paragraph 2
A．Remember. B．Announce.
C．Recognize. D．Control.
解析：D 词义猜测题。根据第二段第二句“But if you accept anxiety as part of life, you can learn to relate to it with self-pity or even with humour.”可知，画线词应与accept意思相反。根据画线词后的“all you're doing is putting it more at the forefront of your mind”可知，此处是要表达如果你试图抑制焦虑情绪，你只会更容易注意到它。D项意为“抑制”，与画线词意思最为接近。故选 D项。
7．Why does the author mention John Bateman in Paragraph 3
A．To explain a strategy.
B．To describe a phenomenon.
C．To present a successful case.
D．To introduce a public figure.
解析：C 推理判断题。根据第三段首句“This way of relating to anxiety has been a powerful strategy for John Bateman ...”可知，对于播客“我们的焦虑故事”主持人约翰·贝特曼来说，上述处理焦虑的方式是一种强有力的策略。因此，作者提到约翰·贝特曼是为了提出一个成功的案例。故选 C项。
8．What is advised to deal with anxiety in the last part
A．Concentrating on the process.
B．Making lifestyle adjustments.
C．Avoiding exposure to pressure.
D．Learning to get things in place.
解析：B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“While acceptance is the first and most important step to take, some lifestyle changes have been proven to take the edge off anxiety, as well.”可知，作者认为虽然接受是第一步，也是最重要的一步，但一些生活方式的改变被证明可以减轻焦虑。故调整生活方式来应对焦虑是作者给出的建议。故选B项。
