10、ara social interaction(准社会互动)was introduced in the1950s by the social scientists Donald Horton and R.Richard Wohl.It was the early days of home television.,and they were seeing people develop a close sense of relationship with actors who were appearing virtually in their home.Today,the definition is

11、 much broader.After all,actors,singers,comedians,athletes,and countless other celebrities are available to us in more ways than ever before.Forming para social bonds has never been easier.An emotional connection between fans and celebrities is good business.It encourages people to consume more enter

12、tainment and buy more celebrity-endorsed(代言)products in order to feel close to their fictional friends.Perhaps para social bonding conjures(使浮现)up the image of lonely people grasping at strangers lives to get a faint shadow of human connection.But loneliness and para social interaction are not consi

13、stently correlated.There is no evidence that,for most people,para 4 social bonds extend beyond a surface level.Most chatter(闲聊)about the private lives of celebrities is trivial.Psychologists do document cases of para social relationships that can go much deeper,with significant consequences.At the d

14、eepest level,the para social relationship can be dangerous,such as when a fan loses touch with reality and stalks(跟踪)a star,under the false belief that they have a real-life connection.In 2021,two psychologists from York University,in Canada,found that people who tended to push others away in their

15、day-to-day lives were more likely than others to relate to fictional characters.My purpose here is not to say that para social interactions are always bad for you.or even abnormal.Rather,it is to suggest that heavy para social bonding might be a signal that you are crowding out the real people who c

16、an give you the love you truly need.One way to address this is to get some more distance from your fictional friends and thus give yourself more space to pursue in-person connection.24.Which of the following is TRUE according to the first two paragraphs?A.Development of media makes for para social b

20、ghtning strikes about 40 million times in the U.S.every year.This natural phenomenon is terrifyingly random,and we rely mainly on lightning rods(避雷针)an early 300-year-old technologyto deal with it.But researchers are exploring a more 21st-century solution:laser beams(激光束).Pioneered by Benjamin Frank

21、lin,the lightning rod works well to defend a building.But it has limited ability to protect larger land or facilities such as wind farms,airports and rocket launch pads.Regular lightning rods are made of conductive(传导的)metal;they provide a preferential point for the lightning to strike and then safe

22、ly channel the charge around a building and into the ground.In the new experiment,a high-powered laser effectively creates a towering,temporary and controllable lightning rod in the sky above the area to be protected.Scientists have dreamed of building laser lightning rods for decades,but previous e

23、xperiments largely failed.Older lasers could pulse only around 10 times per second,too slow to keep an air column ionized(离子化),explains Aur lien Houard,a physicist at the cole Polytechnique in France and lead author of the study.The laser used in the study can fire 1,000 times per second,with each p

24、ulse lasting one trillionth of a second.“You can burn stone if you want with this laser,”Houard says.“but it only consumes about 10 kilowatts(千瓦):roughly the power required to operate a commercial oven or seven 6 domestic space heaters”,adds the studys senior author Jean-Pierre Wolf,a physicist at t

25、he University of Geneva.The researchers tested their lasers lightning-drawing ability atop S ntis,a prominent peak in the Swiss Alps chosen because lightning often hits a telecommunication tower at its summit(山峰).There,during the summer of 2021,the team recorded initial results while observing 16 li

26、ghtning strikes,four of which occurred while the laser was powered on.And in all four cases,sensorseither a high-speed camera or a high-frequency electromagnetic wave detectorcaptured the lightning following the beams path.The authors hope to fine-tune the technique with more data from future studie

27、s.“The next step will be closer to the real-world applications,”Wolf says,“basically redoing this experiment,say,close to a launch pad or close to an airport.”For now,though,Benjamin Franklins innovation will have to do.28.What is the major drawback of Benjamin Franklins lightning rods?A.They are 30

28、0 years old.B.They channel the charge into the ground.C.They fail to protect larger land or facilities.D.They are regularly made of conductive metal.29.Why did past experiments on laser lightning rods largely fail?A.Laser beams were uncontrollable.B.Laser lightning rods were temporary.C.Laser beams

29、were not powerful enough.D.Laser lightning rods failed to ionize an air column.30.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A.The new solution is economical.B.The laser beams are energy-consuming.C.The laser beams can warm up the building.7 D.The new solution is not environmentally friendly.31.What is W

30、olf s attitude toward the future of laser lightning rods?A.Tolerant.B.Unclear.C.Doubtful.D.Optimistic.D Human interaction reflects human nature.It includes both moral and immoral acts.It also includes acts that seem moral but are in fact immoral,and those that seem immoral but are in fact moral.To d

31、epict(刻画)human life truthfully,literary writers should try to capture this complexity without relying on an over-simplified moral yardstick(标准).Morality is short on drama,a key ingredient of literature.Drama often relies on the role of a villain(恶人)and its absence would be keenly felt in a story pop

32、ulated only by good guys.In the old days,the standard recipe for a dramatic effect called for the help of either supernatural beings or a female character,whereas modern plays are spiced up by the presence of a villain.We often use the numerical term hundreds when talking about good deeds,but use te

33、ns of thousands to highlight the large number of evils.This peculiar(奇怪的)language feature reflects a relative similarity between good deeds and an abundant variety of evils.Making a donation to the Red Cross isnt a technically challenging feat(壮举).Its pretty dull to see how a donation is made,but it

34、 can be fascinating to follow the twists and turns in a bribery(贿赂)scheme.Which story,then,do you like to hear?Writers often experiment with whats considered immoral when they try to be innovative.For example,a time-honored ethical rule calls for mutual understanding between husband and wife.Many st

35、ories are based on this rule.One way to go against convention is to run counter to it.Thus,a new story goes as follows.A man hosted a banquet at home celebrating his 20thwedding anniversary.But the hos went missing during the wining and dining.His guests looked for him everywhere and finally found h

36、im on a stone bench in his backyard,8 his tie gone,his chest bared,an empty wine bottle in in his hand.His friends asked him what was wrong.He said,“Three months after I got married,I realized I could not get along with her,but she refused to end our marriage.I wanted to kill her,but may lawyer said

37、 Id be put behind bars for twenty years if I did that.Twenty years would be too long,I thought.I had no choice but to put up with the pain of this marriage.Now twenty years is gone.If I had done it back then,I would have been freed today.I regret not doing it.”This is obviously an immoral tale.Bu th

38、e temptation to write a story like this is too strong to resist.“To add drama to a story,we often have to fall back on bad guys.But they may well steal the show.A movement toward a storys climax may push immorality to a new level.By contrast,moralitys reach is more limited.32.According to paragraph

39、2,whose presence does NOT contribute to a dramatic effect?A.A villains.B.Good guys.C.A female characters.D.Supernatural beings.33.Whats the purpose of mentioning the story about a man in paragraph 4?A.To remind us that the man in the story is indeed a bad guy.B.To emphasize that mutual understanding

40、 between husband and wife matters.C.To prove writing about what s considered immoral can add drama to a story.D.To indicate that moral deeds and actions are essential themes for story writers.34.What does the underlined words steal the show mean in paragraph 5?A.Reveal the shocking ending.B.Takeaway

41、 the profits.C.Become the focus of attention.D.Explain the whole show.35.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.Literature and morality B.Good deeds and evils C.Innovation of literature D.Limits of human nature 第二节第二节(共共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5 分分)9 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出

42、可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Fragile.Oversensitive.Glued to their phones.36 While there may be a grain of(少量的)truth to these stereotypical(刻板印象的)features,there might be more to this generation of teens than what is generally perceived.Never before have the lives of any generation of teens been as floode

43、d with mobile technology and social media as the teens of this generation.37 This is in contrast to the more village spirit or community-oriented attitude of their parents and grandparents days.We have teens who may not even have a clue as to who lives in the unit next to theirs,much less offer a fr

44、iendly nod or wave when they happen to cross paths with a neighbour.38 Arguably,the very connectedness that social media brings about has led to an opening of minds and a flourishing(繁盛)of dialogue among people of diverse cultures and backgrounds.Logging onto platforms where people of all walks of l

45、ife meet means that one is exposed to those people and their distinctive ways of life.In comparison,the parents or grandparents of this generation of teens probably did not have the same opportunity to get to know people outside of their social circles at their age,and are thus more likely to have f

46、ixed,stereotypical opinions of people different from them.This generation of teens,on the other hand,has the chance to employ this technology to learn more about and attempt to understand the variety and diversity out there.39 To conclude,the teens of this generation differ in many ways from their p

47、redecessors(前辈),in some ways more positive than others.40 Therefore,this generation of teens differs from past generations,with the changes around them.A.Now wonder the self-esteem and mental health of teens have taken a hit.B.Yet,the effects of technology on this generation of teens are not all bad

48、.C.Is this what comes to mind when we think of the teens of this generation?D.Their parents or grandparents were likely less connected and more isolated.10 E.Moreover,in the older generations mind,the teens today are more individualistic.F.As a result,this might be why the teens today are more open-

49、minded and progressive.G.Every generation is a product of the cultural,political and economic events of their time.第三部分第三部分 语言运用语言运用(共两节，满分共两节，满分 30 分分)第一节第一节(共共 15 小题；每小题小题；每小题 1 分，满分分，满分 15 分分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Preston Wood ruff held it together for months during the pandem
