9、【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四部电影上映时间，题材，导演，演员和情节等介绍。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据第一部电影“RESTRICTED: No one under 17 is admitted without an accompanying parent or guardian. (限：17岁以下儿童在没有父母或监护人陪同的情况下不得入内)”可知，The Forever Purge这部电影明确表示17岁以下无家长陪同不得入内，其他电影只表示儿童不宜，所以最不建议15岁孩子看的应该是第一部The Forever Purge。故选A项。【2题
10、详解】细节理解题。题干有两个信息重点，高中生和对科幻电影感兴趣。根据每个电影的“Genre(类型)”部分，第四则中Chris McKay导演的The Tomorrow War的类型中包含“Sci-Fi”（科幻），Director: Chris McKay及Plot: In the year 2051 mankind is losing a war against aliens. With little hope, a last, desperate measure is taken to employ persons from the past to secure a future. (205
11、1年，人类正在输掉一场与外星人的战争。由于希望渺茫，政府采取了最后的、不顾一切的措施，雇用来自过去的人来确保未来的胜利。)，属于科幻。再结合“CAUTIONED: Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. (注意：有些情节可能不适合13岁以下的儿童)”可知， 高中生大于13岁，所以对科幻感兴趣的高中生可以看这部电影。故选C项。【3题详解】细节理解题。根据四则广告中Theatrical Release Date:部分，四部电影的上映时间都是07/02/2021，放映时间相同。故选D项。BWhen Time magazine

This method of comme

23、ost of his work through his online shop.”（Banksy的大部分作品都是通过网上商店出售的）可知，Banksy和其他时代名人一起被评为百大影响力人物时，他选择用纸袋罩住自己的头，这与他特立独行的艺术家身份相符，也与下文他的神秘身份和售画方式相呼应。故选D。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Banksy is seen by many as an anti-establishment (反权威的) force in the art market. Even though there is a considerable number of art coll
24、ectors who are willing to pay high prices for his work, he never sells his paintings in private art galleries.”（Banksy被许多人视为艺术品市场的反体制力量。即使有相当数量的艺术品收藏家愿意出高价购买他的作品，但是他的作品从来不在私人艺术馆售卖。）可知，他很有创造力，但行为却与众不同。故选C。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“The artist also gives away thousands of paintings for free. On his website, h
25、e provides high-resolution (高分辨率的) images of his works that can be downloaded for free.”（这位艺术家还免费赠送数千幅画作。在网上，他提供了他的作品的高分辨率图像，可以免费下载。），从最后一段also这个词可以看出来，作者在添加关于Bansky的额外信息，他不光赠送自己的一些艺术作品，同时也提供免费的艺术作品下载服务，即告诉读者一些关于Bansky这个人的一些背景信息。故选C。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“His satirical (讽刺的) art pieces-most of which ar
26、e in the form of graffiti (涂鸦)have received widespread attention.”（他的讽刺艺术作品，其中大部分是涂鸦的形式，受到广泛的关注。）可知，涂鸦是Banksy最喜欢的讽刺艺术形式。故选B。CForget smartphones and smart glasses.

37、量中汲取能量，你可以用它来开门，监控你的健康状况，交換和存储信息，甚至表达你的个性）可知，UnderSkin应该是一种很小很薄的电脑。故选A。【10题详解】词句猜测题。根据下文“Some doctors are concerned about people hurting themselves while getting devices implanted.,They argue that medical procedures are meant to cure sick people, and not to give healthy people special powers.Others
38、worry about hacking and privacy. Could someone hack in and steal your identity,or even Control your mind?”（一些医生担心人们在植入设备时会受伤。他们认为医疗程序是为了治愈病人，而不是给健康的人特殊能力。其他人担心黑客入侵和隐私有人会入侵并窃取你的身份，甚至控制你的思想吗）可知，上文意思是你认为嵌入式芯片听起来是酷还是吓人的？所以creepy意为“吓人的”。故选B。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“It would draw power from your bodys energy, a
39、nd you could use it to unlock doors, monitor your health, exchange and store information, or even express your personality.”(它会从你身体的能量中汲取能量，你可以用它来开门，监控你的健康状况，交換和存储信息，甚至表达你的个性。)以及倒数第一段中“Do you think embedded chips sound creepy or cool ? Some doctors are concerned about people hurting themselves while

42、ew movie or an old favorite? Would you rather try a dish you have never had at a restaurant, or stick with something you know you will like? Researcher studying the “mere-exposure effect” have found that we often prefer the familiar over the novel.In 1968, social psychologist Robert Zajonc published
43、 a breakthrough paper on the mere-exposure effect. His hypothesis was that simply being exposed to an object on a repeated basis was enough to make people like that thing. To test this, Zajonc had participants read words in a foreign language out loud. He varied how often they read each word(up to 2
44、5 repetitions), Next, participants were asked to decide how positive or negative the meaning of each word was. Zajonc found that participants liked the words that they had said more often, and the words that had been read 25s times were rated the highest.One place where the mere- exposure effect fre
45、quently occurs is in advertising. The theory explains why seeing the same advertisement multiple times can make it seem more convincing to us. Of course, there is a warning here: The mere-exposure effect does not happen to things we dislike in the first place.Since Zajoncs initial study, many resear
46、chers have studied the mere-exposure effect. They have found that our liking for a variety of things (including pictures, sounds, foods and smells) can be increased with repeated exposure. Suggesting that the mere-exposure effect is not limited to just one of our senses.Several theories may explain
47、why the effect happens. One of the leading theories is that mere-exposure makes us feel less uncertain. According to this idea, we tend to be cautious around new things, since they could be dangerous to us. However, when we see the same thing over and over and nothing bad happens, we start to realiz
48、e that there is nothing to be afraid of. Additionally, mere exposure increases what psychologists call “perceptual fluency.” The viewpoint is based on the idea that, when we have seen something before, it is easier for us to understand and interpret it, which puts us in a positive mood.12. What task
49、 did Robert set for the participants?A. Reading some foreign language words 25 times each.B. Distinguishing the meanings of some foreign words.C. Picking out negative words they disliked reading.D. Expressing their feelings about some words they read.13. Which of the following agrees with the mere-e
50、xposure effect?A. The more often we hear our favorite song, the more we will like it.B. Repetitions make people like the words they dislike at first.C. People always change their foods for some different ones.D. Personal likings decide the frequency of repetition.14. What may explain the mere-exposu
51、re effect?A. Repetition can reduce danger from the world.B. Familiarity can make us relaxed.C. Repetition can decrease perceptual fluency.D. Familiarity can lead to more exposure.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Science of Familiarity.B. The Need of Making Repetitions.C. The Powe

He varied how often they read each word(up to 25
53、repetitions), Next, participants were asked to decide how positive or negative the meaning of each word was.(为了测试这一点，Zajonc让参与者大声朗读外语单词。他改变了他们阅读每个单词的频率（最多重复25次）。接下来，参与者被要求决定每个单词的积极或消极含义)”可知，Robert给参与者设定了表达他们对所读单词的感受的任务。故选D。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“They have found that our liking for a variety of things
54、 (including pictures, sounds, foods and smells) can be increased with repeated exposure.(他们发现，我们对各种事物包括图片、声音、食物和气味的喜爱会随着反复接触而增加)”可知，A选项“我们越经常听到我们喜欢的歌，我们就会越喜欢它”与曝光效应相符。故选A。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, when we see the same thing over and over and nothing bad happens, we start to realize that there is
55、 nothing to be afraid of.(然而，当我们一次又一次地看到同样的事情，却没有什么不好的事情发生时，我们开始意识到没什么好害怕的)”可知，曝光效应让我们心理得到放松，故选B。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Would you rather watch a new movie or an old favorite?

65、许多与抽象推理技能的联系)”可知，上文讲到了相关“联系”在新信息转化为大脑中知识的作用，下文应该还会对“联系”进行进一步说明，D项中connections与前文connections相互照应，承接上文，D选项“而这些联系需要的时间和注意力往往在数字阅读中缺失。”切题。故选D项。【17题详解】由上两句“Do you often read the first line of a page and zig-zag to the bottom? Or read the first line, middle section and end? (你经常读一页的第一行，然后曲折地读到底部吗？或者读第一行，中
66、间部分和结尾)”和下一句“The consequences of these losses are far-reaching, from decreasing sympathy to critical analysis. (这些损失的后果是深远的，从减少同情到批判分析)”可知，本段主要讲读者经常跳着阅读，因此错过了很多中间行，造成了一定的后果，初步推测空白处应该填写中间行缺失的是什么，F项中lost与后文的losses呼应，承接上下文，F选项“字里行间失去的是：情节的细节，作家语言的美。”切题。故选F项。【18题详解】由下三句“Yet they thought themselves bette

68、更快”。超过80%的大学教育工作者认为屏幕对学生更深层次的理解有“浅薄”的影响。与书本相比，即使是三岁的孩子在屏幕上听故事时，似乎也不太能处理更抽象的材料)”可知，空白处位于段首，空白处后一句使用Yet开头，为转折，“因为很快他们认为自己在屏幕上阅读更好”，因此说明实际情况并非如此，段首句应为对实际情况的阐述，由超过80%的大学教育工作者所认为的可知，屏幕阅读使读者的理解力下降，承接下文，G选项“当读者在屏幕上阅读而不是在印刷品上阅读时，他们的理解力正在下降。”切题。故选G项。【19题详解】由上两句“The reasons are multiple, but they are not beca
69、use deep reading is impossible on a screen. It is simply harder, because screens are associated with distraction (原因是多方面的，但并不是因为在屏幕上不可能进行深度阅读。这更难，因为屏幕会分散注意力)”可知，空白处位于段尾，应该是一个总结或是一个推导结果，这一段是对上一段（抽象思维理解能力减弱）的原因分析，提到抽象思维减弱的原因，所以最后总结这些会导致分配给抽象思维的时间减少，承接上文，A选项“这反过来又导致了分配给抽象思想的时间更少。”切题。故选A项。【20题详解】由上一句“Th
70、e great challenge now is to learn how to use both print and digital mediums to their best advantage for all.

(无论这些书是新的还是旧的，是从图书馆借来的还是自己拥有的，都无关紧要。重要的是，它们在那里，孩子们被鼓励阅读它们；此外，书籍而不是数字设备应该是孩子们卧室里唯一的阅读选择)”可知，这里主要说明，我们必须要教导我们的孩子合理结合电子阅读和纸质阅读，在孩子的电子设备面前，我们必须要放上纸质的书，无论这个纸质的书是新的，旧的，借的还是自己拥有的，二者的有机结合最重要，承
72、接上下文，B选项“我们必须确保儿童数字设备旁边总是有书籍。”切题。故选B项。第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）Skid Row(贫民区）. The very phrase for a place where dreams go to die.
