阅读理解25篇 (名校期末真题) （22-23高一下·山西大同·期末）Grandparents are known as great companions (陪伴) and often give their grandchildren lots of love. Being a grandparent is a big job, but grandparents have a lot of experience. In many cultures, grandparents are looked up to as a source of wisdom (智慧). Some kids live far away from their grandparents so they stay in touch by phone, through email, and with letters. Other kids live close to their grandparents, making it easy to visit often. And still other kids live with their grandparents. Sometimes, the family is sharing the grandparents’ house and sometimes the grandparents move into the family’s house. Any change can be difficult to adjust (适应) to. But after the adjustment period, you might find you enjoy having someone else in the house and a new person to spend time with. If your grandparent needs help, you might be the one to lend a hand. And your grandparent might be able to help you by playing a game with you, telling the best stories or fixing you a snack after school. Quite a few kids live with grandparents who take care of them in place of their parents. Kids who live with grandparents might miss their moms or dads and wish they could live with them instead. The grandparent may find it difficult to keep up with a kid and all of his or her needs. In this situation, both the kid and the grandparent should work together. Loving and caring for each other can be the glue that keeps everything together. And one more thing: You might want to put the first Sunday after Labor Day on your calendar. Why?

A new study finds tropical (热带的) forests help cool the average global temperature by more than 1℃. “The effect is largely from forests’ ability to stockpile CO2. But around one third of that tropical cooling effect comes from several other processes, such as the letting-out of water vapor (水蒸气),” researchers reported on March 24 in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change. “We tend to focus on CO2 and other greenhouse gases, but forests can not only keep CO2,” said Deborah Lawrence, an environmental scientist at the University of Virginia. “It’s time to think about what else forests are doing for us besides keeping CO2.” “Researchers already know that forests influence their local climates through various chemical processes. Trees let out water vapor through their leaves and, like human sweating, this cools the trees and the things around them. But on a global scale, it isn’t clear how the other cooling works compared with the cooling provided by forests’ ability of keeping CO2,” Lawrence said. So she and her colleagues studied how over-cutting would affect global temperatures, using data gathered from other studies. For example, the researchers used data to decide how much the letting-out of CO2 stored by those forests would warm the global temperature. They then compared those results with other studies’ results of how much the loss of other aspects of forests. The researchers found that in forests at latitudes (纬度) from around 50°S of the equator to 50°N, the primary way that forests influenced the global average temperature was through CO2 store. But other cooling factors still played large roles. 5．What does the underlined word “stockpile” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Improve. B．Explore. C．Store. D．Defend. 6．What can we learn from Lawrence’s words? A．Forests need CO2 to keep their balance. B．Some chemicals are harmful to forests. C．Forests can sweat and breathe like humans. D．Forests may benefit us in many other ways. 7．What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us? A．The result of Lawrence’s research. B．Lawrence’s research method. C．The difficulty that Lawrence was faced with. D．The reason why Lawrence studied trees. 8．In which section of a newspaper can the text be found? A．Nature. B．Technology. C．Culture. D．Sports. （22-23高一下·福建福州·期末）Traveling between Earth and space in an elevator, moving Earth away from the sun with huge engines. If you have watched the sci-fi blockbuster The Wandering Earth II, you must have been wowed by these surprising technologies. How far are these imaginative ideas from reality? Let’s take a look. It was released on Jan. 22, the first day of Chinese New Year. The preparation, shooting and post-production lasted more than 1,400 days. It involved 5,310 conceptual-design drawings, more than 950,000 prop and costume items, and over 4,000 visual-effects shots. Fortunately, it has scored big at the box office and aroused heated discussion on social media platforms, drawing attention to the technologies and stories behind the movie. It marks the entry of Chinese-style sci-fi movies to the world’s forefront. The Wandering Earth II mainly tells the story of human beings building planetary (行星的) engines on the surfaces of Earth and the moon, in order to cope with the rapid expansion of the sun. This film explores the themes of sacrifice, survival, and the indomitable human spirit in the face of seemingly insurmountable (无法克服的) obstacles. What makes the series special is its heroic protagonists (主人公). Unlike the elites who save the world in most Western superhero films, The Wandering Earth II focuses on a group of ordinary people with different nationalities and backgrounds who make sacrifices to protect their home. They also illustrates the spirit of unity that flows through the blood of Chinese people and can be shared with the rest of the world. Liu Cixin, China’s famous sci-fi writer and Hugo Award winner, wrote on his Sina Weibo page: “The creators of The Wandering Earth II are very similar to their characters in the movie, taking great courage and innovative spirit as the engine to push the planet of sci-fi movies into the future. We know that there is still a long way to go for China’s science fiction, but fortunately, there is a group of people who will never stop pushing forward.” 9．What does the underline word “wowed” in paragraph 1 mean? A．amazed B．confused C．indicated D．attracted 10．Which of the following is true about The Wandering Earth II? A．The Wandering Earth II was released on Jan. 22, the fourth day of Chinese New Year. B．The process of shooting The Wandering Earth II went smoothly. C．The Wandering Earth II was regarded as a success in China’s sci-fi film market. D．The Wandering Earth II is about the mission to explore new world and civilizations. 11．Which of the following can best describe the characters in the movie? A．creative and grateful B．selfless and innovative C．considerate and polite D．honest and responsible 12．What can we infer from Liu Cixin’s words? A．The creator took great courage to act as a character in his movie. B．China’s science fiction movie industry faces a big challenge. C．People’s participation in making China’s sci-fi movie has boosted his confidence. D．The figures in The Wandering Earth II are determined to push the planet forward. （22-23高一下·天津和平·期末）Among many other criticisms of technology is that it is killing creativity, or at least getting in the way. For example, the smartphone’s ability to keep us entertained whenever boredom threatens stifles (压制) the original thinking that might have otherwise taken place. And the Internet, critics say, gives us a limitless supply of content that we can draw from, copy, or even steal. All in all, it seems that in the minds of many, technology and creativity are in opposition. Like any big change, there are always bad effects. However, in the case of technology, the benefits far outweigh those harms — even when it comes to imagination and original thought. Information does not prevent creativity. We might have more data than ever, but the way that we use it is far from set in stone. Who could have guessed fifteen years ago that people all around the world would be getting into the cars of strangers, or sleeping in the beds of people they’d never met? And yet Uber, a ride-sharing service, and Airbnb, a home-sharing service — two truly original companies are now very well known. Technology doesn’t only enable creativity, but encourages its growth. Through mobile video platforms like YouTube, anyone with an Internet connection can develop their skills and be inspired by others. Thanks to the Internet, artists in tiny villages can reach a broad audience on the other side of the planet, and we in turn can experience kinds of creativity borne out of widely different cultures, which improves our own. Forums and media platforms might create harmful echo chambers (回声室) for some forms of thought, but they also represent safe discussion environments for all topics and people, including creatives and would-be creatives, where exercises and conversations can encourage original thought. Technology is not perfect, but the idea that there is something naturally creativity-stifling about technology simply isn’t true. Creatives shouldn’t fear the tech “attack” but look for ways that they can take advantage of it to become better at what they do. 13．What is a common belief according to paragraph 1? A．Boredom threatens our creative thinking. B．Technology is limiting our creativity. C．The Internet has changed our life. D．The smartphone is convenient. 14．Why are Uber and Airbnb mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To discuss the future of technology. B．To stress the importance of originality. C．To encourage people to build trust in strangers. D．To show the favorable impact brought by information. 15．How does the author support his view? A．By giving examples. B．By sharing research results. C．By explaining numerical data. D．By presenting his experiences. 16．What advice does the author give creatives? A．Never live in echo chambers. B．Make good use of technology. C．Create safe discussion environments. D．Focus on creating in traditional ways. （22-23高一下·天津和平·期末）Nineteen fifty-six it was, and I, a young girl set on getting my own library card, was permitted by my mother, Vivian Nichols, to walk the mile from Prince Albert, Ont. , to the library in nearby Port Perry. Down the street from Port Perry High was the library —a dark-red brick building, imposing to a child of only six years old. To the left of the sidewalk was a series of steps that I climbed to push through a heavy door into a very large room filled with books. To an older lady I said, “I’d like a library card, please.” She replied, “The children’s section is downstairs.” “But I want adult books, because I can read.” “Well, you are a child. You can’t get a card up here.” “I’m six and I can read and write.” “Go along child,” she said in a pleasant but authoritative(命令式的) voice. I found the side door and walked in, seeing short and low shelves full of children’s books. Upon opening one, I read, “See Spot run. Run Spot. Run.” I opened another book. It read, “Once upon a time there was.” Sighing quietly, I walked out and back up to the main desk. By now, it was getting dark and I had to hurry. “You’re back.” said the librarian. “Yes. I will make you a deal. You hand me any book you like. If I can read a paragraph in it, you’ll give me a library card.” Shrugging (耸肩) happily, she handed me a thick book, I opened it and began to read. When I finished, the lady took the book back without a word. I waited for a while and finally the lady stood up, handing me two cards. On one was printed the days and times the library was open to adults, and on the other were the precious words, Bonita Lynn Nichols. I thanked her and quickly left the library. 17．What does the underlined word. “imposing” in paragraph2 probably mean? A．Boring. B．Important. C．Historic. D．Impressive. 18．What was the librarian’s response to the author’s request at first? A．She made fun of it. B．She turned it down. C．She took it seriously. D．She considered it reasonable. 19．What did the author think of the books downstairs? A．Childish. B．Useful. C．Attractive. D．Challenging. 20．Why did the librarian give the author her dream card? A．She took pity on the author. B．She was eager to get off work. C．She found the author to be an able reader. D．She was moved by the author’s courage. （22-23高一下·四川内江·期末）Feeling overcome by your to-do list can make you unhappy, but a new study suggests that more free time might not be the magic elixir (灵丹妙药) most of us dream it could be. The researchers analyzed data from 35,000 subjects about how Americans spend their free time. They found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective happiness—but only up to a point. Compared to those with less time, people with up to two hours of free time a day generally felt better. However, people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally felt worse. So the free-time “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day. Part of finding this “sweet spot” is connected with how people spend their free time. In an online experiment, the subjects were asked to imagine having four to seven free hours per day and spending that time doing “productive” (富有成效的) or “unproductive” activities. Most of them believed their happiness would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day—but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was based on the previous assumptions (假设), which is one limitation, it agrees with other experiments showing that being in a state of flow can benefit people’s mental health. Of course, for you, any activities that increase your happiness are “productive”. If watching soap opera in your free time makes you feel better, you should do that due to self-care. And some traditionally productive activities can be easy and fun. For example, walking and cooking can help burn stress and put people in a state of flow. “In cases where people find themselves with large amounts of free time, such as retirement or unemployment,” Sharif said, “our results suggest they can benefit from spending their newfound time with purpose.” 21．How did the researchers carry out the study of the free-time “sweet spot”? A．By studying the collected data. B．By doing the experiment again and again. C．By observing the respondents. D．By doing an interview with the subjects. 22．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．The activity. B．Free time. C．The finding. D．The experiment. 23．Why does the author mention “soap opera” in paragraph 4? A．To present a fact. B．To make a prediction. C．To explain an opinion. D．To introduce a topic. 24．What does the new study suggest about people’s happiness? A．Much free time with purposeful activities can affect people’s happiness. B．The “sweet spot” has little connection with the amount of free time. C．Much unfinished work is likely to make people feel worse. D．People will always feel much happier with more free time. （22-23高一下·四川内江·期末）At the start of every working week, millions of people around the world get ready for something they do endlessly, joylessly and badly: a meeting. The reason is simple, says Madeleine de Hauke, a meeting coach and teacher in an Antwerp Management School. “We spend our lives and huge amounts of money on meetings, but there’s very little work that helps people run them effectively.” Madeleine is correct. Running a meeting well takes skill. People need to know ahead why they are meeting, what they are supposed to achieve, who really needs to be there and how they should contribute. That sounds obvious but it is not, as anyone who has been to a pointless meeting knows. Yet meeting leaders are expected to learn all this on the job. I cannot remember ever being taught how to organize a meeting, and I have rarely had a job requiring me to do it. I also like Madeleine’s descriptions of what she calls the Meeting Monsters: people who destroy meetings with all sorts of annoying behaviors. There is the unkind off-topic speaker. The non-stop noise in the background. The confusing rambler whose speech is endless. The rude multi-tasker. The one who says nothing but emails later to say what was decided will never work. The trouble is, we are all meeting monsters sometimes, says Madeleine. A good meeting leader knows how to stop this behavior, or make sure it never starts by making it clear what will and won’t be allowed. A bad meeting is like a virus (病毒). By failing to produce good decisions it often requires another meeting to be held, then another and another. Luckily there is no need for a vaccine (疫苗), just a bit more care and preparation, and an understanding that there is no shame in being taught how to lead a meeting well. 25．What cause bad meetings according to the author? A．Boring meeting activities. B．Untrained meeting leaders. C．Careless meeting coaches. D．Unreasonable meeting schedules. 26．Which is a typical behavior of a “Meeting Monster”? A．Never stopping his chatter. B．Scaring meeting attendees. C．Always raising questions. D．Refusing to finish his tasks. 27．Why does the author say “a bad meeting is like a virus”? A．It makes the attendees sick. B．It fails to produce decisions. C．It results in more meetings. D．It requires care and preparation. 28．Which can be the best title for the text? A．Spend More for Meeting Attendees B．Get Ready for Bad Meetings C．Start the Week with a Meeting D．Kill the Meeting Monsters （22-23高一下·江苏常州·期末）I’M NOT A TROPHY Time: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm Daily between Oct. 16 and Oct. 31 Address: Markowicz Fine Art Gallery Admission: FREE This art exhibit is committed to global awareness and prevention of poaching and trophy hunting ( 偷 猎 和 战 利 品 狩 猎) of endangered species such as elephants, lions, and rhinos.

Scientists are working hard to stop this and they’re doing it with some pretty cool drone (无人机) tech. One of the biggest dangers to endangered animals in the modern day comes from hunting, which claims the lives of hundreds of white rhinos every year. However, while rangers (护林者) and regular guarding can help in stopping hunters from certain areas, they are often well-armed and unafraid to fire upon those hoping to protect the rhinos. This is where drones come in—if preservation researchers work in these areas there would be a real danger of coming into contact with the hunters, and their lives might well be at risk. By having drones collect data, movement patterns and numbers of animals, biologists are able to avoid many of these risks. But drones aren’t only used to collect information in dangerous areas—they can also be sent into the skies above difficult-to-reach areas to get data that would otherwise be tough to collect. The endangered animals are usually found in thick jungle, and organizing a team for exploration can be expensive, time-taking, and require a great deal of bodies and planning. Instead, researches can send drones over the forest to get data about the habitat of the animals, and perhaps even get high quality images of them. This information can be extremely valuable when it comes to an on-foot exploring, as researchers can get up-to-date information on the whereabouts of the animals as they move. In this situation, human-led surveys will still offer better results, but drones can play a huge part in the preservation process. The downside currently is the cost, which can run into tens, if not thousands, of dollars. However, drone tech is still becoming a more achievable option in the fight against extinction. 32．What is the possible danger to preservation researchers according to the passage? A．Suffering from hunger. B．Getting lost in the jungle. C．Fighting with wild animals. D．Being attacked from hunters. 33．How do the drones help researchers in thick jungle? A．By showing the direction. B．By providing real-time information. C．By organizing a exploring team. D．By making plans to protect them. 34．What is the writer’s attitude towards the drone tech? A．Cautious. B．Worried. C．Favorable. D．Doubtful. 35．What could be the suitable title of this text? A．Drones’ Advantages B．Drones in Preservation C．Drones against Danger D．Drones for the Rhinocerosss （22-23高一下·四川内江·期末）Frightened, I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been here for three years. So I enrolled (登记) in the local high school in my new town. On the first day, I went to my second class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered, “Yes.” His voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India, we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector (投影仪). In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke. It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “It’s the fourth period.” “But the bell just rang,” I said. “That is the lunch bell, young man,” she said. I apologized. Without another word I headed for the dining hall. I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. Everything here seemed like a hindrance I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either. I saw my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t so bad. 36．Why did the author attend an American high school? A．To live with his parents. B．To find his dream job. C．To have more time to travel. D．To make more foreign friends. 37．What do we know about the author’s first day of school? A．He went to the wrong class for the second period. B．He met some very friendly teachers and classmates. C．He got the Course Requirements sheet from his classmate. D．He experienced differences between American and Indian schools. 38．What does the underlined word “hindrance” in the last paragraph mean? A．Door. B．Period. C．Success. D．Difficulty. 39．How did the author feel at the end of the day? A．Worried. B．Happy. C．Anxious. D．Surprised. （22-23高一下·江苏常州·期末）People have been predicting (预测) the death of cable TV (有线电视) for a long time, but this really might be it. Just a decade (十年) ago, nearly all Americans — more than 85 percent of U.S. households — paid for packages of TV channels from cable or satellite ( 卫 星) companies. That started to drop slowly at first and then far more quickly in the past few years. Now, the share of American homes that pay for traditional TV service is approaching 50 percent, according to expert Craig Moffett and S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Kagan research group. For comparison, cellphones were around for decades before the percentage of Americans who didn’t have a landline ( 座 机) at home reached 50 percent, around 2017. Maybe it seems predictable that cable TV would go the way of the landline. I promise you that it was not necessarily obvious, even once Netflix started to take off. Old habits die hard. Old industries that make a lot of people rich die even harder. And don’t forget that some new technology habits catch on fast but don’t stick. What may be a final drop in America’s cable TV industry is a big deal. It shows that technology can change deep-rooted ways of doing things slowly, and then suddenly. Ian Olgeirson, a research director at Kagan who has been following America’s TV market for about 20 years, told me that he was surprised by how quickly the monthly cable bill went from being standard to outdated for many Americans. Olgeirson and other TV experts I’ve been speaking to didn’t single out a turning point in cable TV’s big drop. They said the downward trend ( 趋 势) was more like a series of progressive changes building up. It’s clear that the cable TV system that for decades brought joy and headaches to tens of millions of Americans is wearing thin. The wild card is whether Americans keep turning away from cable and satellite TV relatively slowly, or whether it will fail suddenly. I have always loved TV. I felt like a real grown-up when I first started to pay a huge bill for television, partly to watch my favorite football team. I had reduced my cable TV package, but then a few months ago I was told that my bill was going to increase by about $10 a month. That was it. I’m a no-cable household now, too. 40．What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us about cable TV? A．Its falling popularity. B．Its increasing payments. C．Its various TV channels. D．Its high service standard. 41．Why does the author mention cellphones and landlines in paragraph 2? A．To prove technology can change the world. B．To show it is not easy for cable TV to go away. C．To illustrate there is no market left for cable TV. D．To explain technology can bring fortune to people. 42．Which of the following is beyond Olgeirson’s expectations? A．America’s TV market was down suddenly. B．The death of cable TV will come in about 20 years. C．Americans turned away from cable TV so quickly. D．There are still many Americans showing interest in cable TV. 43．What would be the best title for the text? A．Cable TV won’t be replaced by satellite TV B．Cable TV brought joy to Americans C．Cable TV has existed for decades D．Cable TV is the new landline （22-23高一下·河南周口·期末）A city is rising from the waters of the Indian Ocean. In a lagoon (泄湖),just 10 minutes by boat from Malé, the Maldivian capital, a floating (漂浮) city, big enough to house 20,000 people, is being constructed (建造)。 Designed in a pattern (模式) similar to brain coral (脑珊瑚),the city will consist of 5.000 floating units including houses, restaurants, shops and schools, with rivers running in between. Residents start to move in by early 2024, and the whole city is due to be completed by 2027. The project is not meant as a wild experiment: it’s being built as a practical solution to the reality of sea level rise. Containing 1.190 low-lying islands, the Maldives is one of the world’s weakest nations to climate change. Eighty percent of its land area is less than one metre above sea level, and with sea level projected to rise up to a metre by the end of the century, almost the entire country would go under the water. The units are constructed in a local shipyard, then pulled to the floating city. Once in position, they are joined to a large underwater concrete frame which is fixed to the seabed on telescopic (可伸缩的) steel poles that let it gently flow with the waves. Koen Olthuis, founder of Waterstudio, the company that designed the city, said that the possible environmental effect of the structure was assessed by local coral experts and permitted by government authorities before construction began. The aim is for the city to be self-sufficient and have all the functions as one on land. There will be electricity powered mainly by solar energy. As an alternative to air conditioning, the city will use deep sea water cooling, which involves pumping cold water from the deep sea into the lagoon, helping to save energy. 44．What is the purpose of building the floating city? A．To develop its tourism. B．To get more living space. C．To perform a wild experiment. D．To deal with the rising sea level. 45．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The feature of the city. B．The location of the city. C．The construction process of the city. D．The building materials of the city. 46．Where is the electricity mostly produced from? A．Wind energy. B．Solar energy. C．Water energy. D．Wave energy. 47．What can be learned from the last paragraph? A．The city is environmentally friendly. B．The city has no modern equipment. C．The life of the city is not very convenient. D．The government authorities love the life here. （22-23高一下·重庆·期末）In February, the publishing company Puffin released (发行) new editions of some books by Roald Dahl that had been edited to remove or replace rude language. Dahl’s original work included terms that were once considered acceptable but that many people today find upsetting, such as describing characters as “fat” and “ugly”. Puffin said it changed those words and others so the books “can continue to be enjoyed by all.” Many people argued against the move, however, saying it amounted to censorship (bans on people’s ideas or language). Others say it’s good to remove outdated and hurtful language. What do you think? Should publishers revise old books? Yes — times and language change. Society’s values are always changing. What would have been acceptable to say or do 50 years ago might not be OK anymore. People are right to point out when somebody says something hurtful, so the same should apply to books with rude language. A careful editor is able to successfully remove words or terms that upset people without changing what originally created by the author. The most important thing is that children (and adults) read books — and lots of them. Any minor changes to the text that make Dahl’s — or another writer’s--stories more accessible and inclusive are a good thing. No — books should be left as they are. Censorship is dangerous because it limits what a person can say or how they express themselves. If we allow people to censor one author’s work, what’s to stop them from doing the same to every author’s work in the future? If somebody disagrees with an opinion or is angered by an idea, it doesn’t mean no one else should hear it. A healthy society hugs many different beliefs and points of view. If some people find certain words or descriptions upsetting, the best approach isn’t to ban or change them but to discuss, debate, and make people aware of why the material is hurtful. It can help people learn and understand. 48．Why did Puffin revise the books by Roald Dahl? A．To replace some childish words. B．To maintain its popularity. C．To have people express freely.

I wasn’t too upset; I thought I wasn’t going to choose it as a career. By the time I was about four, I started sleepwalking. At night, I used to go under the stairs and scribble (乱画) on the wall. When I was 15, I was no longer just making scribbles. I was drawing anything from pictures of Marilyn Monroe to unrealistic paintings. I showed some to my art teachers. They said: “Why can’t you do this in class?” It was something I struggled to understand myself. I tried so hard to draw when I was awake, practising and using the same tools. But no matter what I did, I was unable to recreate the drawings. Once I left school, I became a nurse, mainly helping people with brain injuries. I also met my partner. He is unbelievably supportive of my art and sleepwalking habits—he often films me as I work. And when I begin to paint in my sleep, I’ll use any tools I can find, sometimes knives and forks. That’s the only thing that worries my partner—that I’ll accidentally hurt myself. I have gone to various sleep clinics to try to get to the bottom of what’s happening, but nothing out of the ordinary was found health-wise. Alcohol or lack of sleep does bring the sleepwalking on more, though, so I am careful about that. I have learned to hug my unusual talent and set up my first art exhibition in 2007 at my local in library to raise money for cancer research. Within a week, I had 160 calls from different media outlets and organizations wanting to hear about my art. I was over the moon. I then decided to leave my very fulfilling job in nursing and become a full-time artist. 52．Why wasn’t the author upset about her art final exams? A．She got used to her E in art.

It’s as simple as getting up early on a regular basis. More interestingly, science is supporting it. In a 2019 experiment by Monash University, night owls reported feeling less depression, stress and daytime sleepiness after their body clocks were brought forward by two hours across a three-week period. Multiple studies show morning types tend to perform better academically and at work and get more done than night owls. According to those early birds, advantages of the morning include less distraction, more time and more space to think and get work done. There are fewer other people up, fewer phone calls, text messages, emails and more. Also, studies show our abilities, energy and mood are generally at their peak in the morning, including late morning. How early is “early”? Scientists haven’t yet determined an ideal, exact time to start and end the day. It is suggested that people should adjust sleep timing with the sun’s daily cycle and light. But it doesn’t mean to rise as soon as natural light first appears. Also, many of us suffer from sleep problems during the night that make rising early undesirable. And if you’re a natural owl, trying to change your pattern might not favor you. Pay attention when you feel most energetic. While being an early riser may have benefits for your health, what’s more important is getting enough, quality sleep and keeping a regular pattern. Don’t set the alarm for 5:30 am if it means reducing overall sleep time. You could end up suffering from negative effects of sleep deprivation(缺乏), including a poorer mood and energy, less ability to concentrate, weight gain and more. 59．What do the underlined words “night owls” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．People who rise early. B．People who sleep late. C．People who are depressed. D．People who are overweight. 60．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．When our abilities are best. B．What advantages of mornings are. C．Why early birds perform better. D．Who communicates in the morning. 61．What might happen to you if you set your alarm too early? A．You will lose some weight. B．You could have more work done. C．You may find it hard to focus. D．You can see the first natural light. 62．What is a suitable title for the text? A．The Power of Rising Early. B．The Habits of Morning Types. C．The Amount of Sleep Time. D．The Benefits of Lifestyle Changes. （22-23高一下·四川绵阳·期末）Researchers are trying to explore creative ways to reduce e-waste. Now one team has invented a water-activated battery (水激活电池) made of paper and other sustainable materials. Some e-waste is relatively large: old phones and air conditioners, for instance. Other e-waste is more unnoticeable, such as batteries. It’s these small batteries that are big problems. Nobody really pays attention to where they end up. Researchers at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology are working to address this problem. They invented a water-activated paper battery using environmentally friendly materials that could eventually replace the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices. A traditional battery is made of plastic, metal or other harmful materials. The paper battery works the same as a traditional battery. It has a positively charged (带电的) side, a negatively charged side, and a conductive material (传导材料) between the two. In the new battery, the positively and negatively charged sides are inks printed onto the front and back of a piece of paper. That paper is filled with salt, which dissolves (溶解) when the paper is wet. When the paper is dry, the battery is off. Once the paper is wet, the battery activates within 20 seconds. The new battery’s operating performance worsens as the paper dries. When the scientists rewet the paper during testing, the battery begins to work again and lasts an hour before beginning to dry out again. Although the researchers showed that their battery could power an alarm clock, it is unlikely to replace standard batteries now. It is hard to predict a time line for producing such batteries in a large number, but that future may not be so far off. “This really starts with the development of sustainable materials,” Nyström, the lead author, explains, “From there, I think we are able to create something that is quite useful.” 63．Why did the researchers invent the new batteries? A．To replace harmful batteries. B．To develop sustainable materials. C．To power common devices. D．To make e-waste more noticeable. 64．In what aspect are the traditional and the new batteries different? A．Sizes. B．Usages. C．Materials. D．Functions. 65．What do we know about the paper used in the new batteries? A．It dries within 20 seconds. B．It can be used many times. C．It has ink on the front side. D．It breaks easily in salt water. 66．What can be inferred about the new battery from the last two paragraphs? A．It stores huge power. B．It takes ages to make it. C．It is highly profitable. D．It has a promising future. （22-23高一下·四川绵阳·期末）This morning, while tidying up my office, I found an open box of packaged chocolate cookies that I’d bought sometime last year. The use-by date had come and gone more than eight months ago. Curious, I took a small bite. They still tasted pretty good. Welcome to the world of ultra-processed (超加工) foods. And we’re eating a lot of them. Ultra-processed foods currently make up nearly 60% of what the typical adult eats, and nearly 70% of what kids eat. They include everything from cookies and sodas to packaged breads and frozen meals, even ice creams. You might not realize you’re eating one, but look close and you’ll see many ingredients you wouldn’t find in your kitchen. And a large and growing amount of evidence has consistently linked overconsumption of ultra-processed foods to poor health outcomes. “Too much of it leads to obesity and type two diabetes (糖尿病) and heart disease and cancer.” says Christopher Gardner, a professor at Stanford University, who has spent decades studying the links between diet and chronic disease (慢性病). One reason ultra-processed foods likely lead to health issues seems obvious: They tend to be low in fiber and high in calories, salt, added sugar and fat, which are all linked with poor health outcomes when eaten too much. Eventually, Gardner says the burden of making healthier food choices shouldn’t fall completely on consumers-especially when it comes to setting kids up for better health long term. “It does need the whole society to pay attention to this, to work together, including the food industry and the government, to be able to reduce the amount of ultra-processed food our kids are consuming in their day,” he says. 67．What does the author want to say in the second paragraphs? A．Ultra-processed foods preserve the flavor long. B．Ultra-processed foods have become a big part of our diet. C．Convenience explains the popularity of ultra-processed foods. D．A lot of health problems result from consumption of ultra-processed foods. 68．What does the underlined word “overconsumption” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Overproduction. B．Overselling. C．Overstore. D．Overeating. 69．What is a result of too much ultra-processed food in people’s lives? A．Fewer diseases. B．Health problems. C．Dietary changes. D．Market competition. 70．What is Gardner’s suggestion for making kids healthier in the long term? A．Punish the food industry. B．Reduce kids’ consumption. C．Unite efforts from all sides. D．Make smarter food choices. （22-23高一下·黑龙江牡丹江·期末）A story happened when the telegraph was the fastest method of long-distance communication. One day, a young man went to an interview for a job as a Morse code operator (莫尔斯电码报务员). Answering the ad in the newspaper, he went to the office address. When he arrived, he walked into a large, busy office filled with noise, including the sound of the telegraph. An office worker asked him to wait until he was called to go into the inner office. Seven other people were already in the waiting area for the interview. The young man sat down and waited with them. After a few minutes, the young man stood up, crossed the room to the door of the inner office, and walked right in. Naturally the other people wondered what was going on. They were sure that the young man made a mistake and would be refused. A few minutes later, however, the boss came out of the inner office with the young man and said to the other people, “Gentlemen, thank you very much for coming, but the young man has got the job.” The other people were surprised, and one of them said, “Wait a minute. I don’t understand. He was the last to come in, and we never even got a chance to be interviewed. Yet he got the job. That’s not fair!” The boss said, “I’m sorry, but all the time you’ve been sitting here, the telegraph has been sending out the following message in Mores code: ‘If you understand this message, then come right in. The job is yours.’ None of you heard it or understood it. This young man did. The job is this.” 71．The young man got the information about the job from ________.

When delivering the speech at the Catholic University on Saturday, Brooks warned new graduates against two common but terrible pieces of advice. One is to go find a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life; the other is you should save the world. To the first, he claimed it’s a great way to ruin youngsters’ life. He explained that expecting a job to be fun all the time is too ideal, which will set people up to hate any job, especially when the work unavoidably becomes difficult and not fun. As to the second, Brooks responded, “To expect one’s day job to solve the world’s various problems is another factor for disappointment in reality.” Some may guess that the actual cause for job satisfaction are money, fame, power and admiration. However, Brooks never agrees with them. He has put forward his two answers to finding happiness at work. The first key, according to Brooks, is what he calls earned success. For Brooks, happiness at work is not determined by your job title or income but the investment you put into your day. Put simply, “Don’t cut corner.” Brooks said, “What matters is that at the end of the day, you can say, you did your work with efforts and excellence.” Some experts agree that positive relationships at work are a necessary ingredient for job satisfaction. Brooks’ second answer is in line with that finding: do your job in a way that serves others, not just yourself. He told graduates that for the greatest happiness, it does not matter if their job is fun all the time or whether it fixes the world. Instead, deeper satisfaction comes from work that can make a difference in the lives of some. And serving others comes from how you do your job, not whether you work in an bank, put roofs on houses or raise children as a fulltime mother. 75．What is the common problem of the two suggestions in paragraph 2? A．They are fancy but impractical. B．They fail to meet financial needs. C．They set people to hate their jobs. D．They may ruin young people’s life. 76．What do the underlined words “Don’t cut corner” indicate in paragraph 4? A．Finish your work at the end of the day. B．Pursue big job titles for your job happiness. C．Invest in your work to increase your income. D．Work hard with excellence to gain satisfaction. 77．What is the main idea of paragraph 5? A．Put others first whenever possible. B．Positive relationships develop in fun jobs. C．Deeper satisfaction comes from serving others. D．Types of jobs determine the difference one makes. 78．What is the happiness formula at work according to Brooks? A．Love your work and save the world. B．Earn your success and provide services. C．Make differences and live to the fullest. D．Stay excellent and make wise investments. （22-23高一下·湖南张家界·期末）Do you know that the oldest tree is a 5, 000-year old bristlecone pine (狐尾松) located in the forests of Nevada? Unfortunately, many of these precious old-growth trees are starting to disappear from our planet. The term old-growth refers to trees that are 150 years or older. This means that many of the trees on the Earth today are younger, smaller, and have shorter lifespans. As the Earth’s temperature warms up due to climate change, it is having unintended effects on the world’s forests. When temperatures rise, trees close their pores (气孔) to prevent the loss of moisture, and this, in turn, slows down the process of photosynthesis (光合作用). As a result, these trees are shorter and grow slowly, as well as have a high deathrate. Climate change also increases the possibility of droughts and wildfires. After wildfires, it takes a while for the forest ecosystems to recover, and in some cases, the forests are lost permanently. Trees that are stressed are also susceptible (易受影响的) to attacks by bacteria (细菌). Finally, humans have changed the forest landscape through logging (伐木). There are some who claim that increased greenhouse gas emission is helping trees grow faster because CO2, is needed for photosynthesis. While some younger trees may benefit from this, we are seeing significantly more loss of forests than gain. Old-growth forests are a storehouse of carbon, and when they die, the stored CO2, is released into the air worsening the greenhouse effect. Older forests have higher biodiversity, which is beneficial as each organism has a role to play and there is a wide variety of species. As these forests disappear, species that once called them “home” are forced to relocate, affecting the biodiversity of those ecosystems. Unfortunately, some endangered species are unable to adapt and go extinct. With trees dying continuously, will future generations miss out on the wonders of forests? 79．What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A．Why bacteria may attack old trees. B．What leads to the rising temperatures. C．Why old-growth forests are disappearing. D．How global warming causes natural disasters. 80．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．Species. B．Older forests. C．Organisms. D．Roles organisms play. 81．The last sentence of the text is actually____________. A．a doubt B．a warning C．a blame D．a suggestion 82．What is the author’s purpose of writing this text? A．To urge people to reduce gas emission. B．To explain the greenhouse effect on trees. C．To introduce the process of photosynthesis. D．To call on people to protect old-growth trees. （22-23高一下·湖南张家界·期末）On August 15th, in the tiny farming town of Frost, Minnesota, Scott Legried was driving his pick-up truck when a puppy ran in front of him. Changing the direction suddenly to avoid the puppy, Scott’s truck rolled over and he was severely injured. “I got knocked out and when I finally recovered consciousness, I couldn’t move,” Scott said. “I couldn’t even reach up to get my cellphone from the dashboard of my truck. I remember saying, ‘I’ mgoing to need some help here in the next 5 or 10 minutes.’” And that help came. A strange driver Tim Steer called 911. He was rushed to the closest hospital, and then airlifted to the Mayo Clinic, where he stayed for the next several weeks. Tim visited Scott in the hospital several times and took him out for a drive after his shoulder surgery in August. The October harvest was only six weeks away, and Scott had 600 acres of soybeans (大豆) and corn to harvest. Not harvesting them in time could destroy his crops, his sole means of income. Who would maintain and harvest his corn and soybean crops? And because Scott lives alone, who would care for his dogs, and maintain his home and yard? This town of 198people did. While volunteers checked his home, mowed his lawn, and fed his dogs, 18 farmers conducted the harvest. Farmers in Frost, Minnesota, gathered to harvest Scott’s soybean crops on October 4th. Scott plans to plant his new crops next spring. If he needs help, he knows where to findit. “Frost really is the heartland of America,” he said. “One day, I hope I’m able to pay the favor back.” 83．Why did Scott have an accident? A．He felt a sudden pain. B．He didn’t want to hurt a dog. C．He was hurrying to meet Tim. D．He was not familiar with his car. 84．What do we know about Scott? A．He is a farmer.

D．They offered him soybean seeds for free. 86．What will Scott do in the future according to the last paragraph? A．Drive more carefully. B．Help other farmers in need. C．Plant no soybean crops at all. D．Spend more time with his neighbors. （22-23高一下·湖南邵阳·期末）It is common to see most live streamers sitting in front of a desk in a well-decorated room. But Zeng Qinghuan, a 30-year old from Xinhua County in Loudi, Hunan, has turned her whole village into a live streaming set. Her goal is to use e-commerce to help her people live a better life. Known as “Xiangmei Xinbao” on Douyin, Zeng now has more than 3 million followers. One of her videos about traditional ways of planting and harvesting rice has attracted more than 300,000 followers. Zeng used to study fashion design and has worked in some big cities before. In 2019 she returned to her village to care for her sick grandmother. She then found that she could build a career there—by being a live streamer with the help of her cousin. At the beginning, she didn’t make any money. Zeng’s parents didn’t give her any support until she could stand on her own feet and help people sell their products. She has now sold local agricultural products worth tens of millions of yuan, like fermented tofu, preserved pork and dried sweet potatoes. “I’m a daughter of the great mountains. I can also be a contributor to rural development in these new times,” she said. Rural revitalization (振兴) is a key part of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25). Zeng hopes her experience can encourage more young people to return to their rural hometowns and start their own businesses. In 2021, after she became a deputy (代表) of the Loud Municipal People’s Congress, she put forward a proposal to ensure that “each village has one, product and one live streaming host of its own”. She plans to help cultivate 100 social media influencers from her county within three years, and two villages have taken part in the project, “I believe that the rural areas will become a big stage, and being a farmer will be seen as a respectable job too.” said Zeng. 87．What do we know about Zeng’s live streaming career?

A recent study published in the scientific journal Nature Astronomy concluded “that current practices have a 10 percent chance of one or more deaths over a decade”. In other words, according to researchers from the University of Victoria and the University of British Columbia, there’s roughly a one-in-ten chance that the next decade will witness falling space junk kill someone. The space junk orbiting the earth is an unfortunate by-product of our desire to explore and document space. According to 2021 figures from NASA and the Department of Defense’s Space Surveillance Data, the agencies were actively tracking more than 27,000 pieces of space junk, most of which are larger than a softball and that casually orbit the planet. While the floating space junk is certainly a problem, not all the objects that went up must come down, and, in fact, a number of pieces simply burn up in the atmosphere. But sometimes those objects, particularly large ones like used rocket attachments, give in to gravity and fall back down to Earth to be dealt with once again by their human makers. Typically, people don’t die or even get injured by this phenomenon — many of the falling pieces crash into the ocean. They also have to deal with the unsettling feeling of knowing that large rocket pieces can just fall from the sky and that it might affect people in certain parts of the world more than others. This poses an obvious safety risk to people on the ground. “When some large parts of space junk return to Earth, the parts of their mass survive the heat of atmosphere. Many of the surviving pieces are potentially dangerous, giving serious risks on land, at sea, and to people in airplanes,” the study explains. 94．What is the conclusion of the study published in Nature Astronomy? A．People will see space junk easily in the future. B．Government agencies and private industries will develop fast. C．Some people may be hit to death by objects from the space. D．There will be a 10 percent chance for human to die in 10 years. 95．What can be inferred from the third paragraph? A．Normally we should not worry about space junk. B．The large space junk will pollute the ocean. C．The floating space junk will come down finally. D．The space junk will get burnt in the sky. 96．What might be discussed in the following part of the text? A．How to find space junk. B．How to deal with space junk. C．How to inform people of the danger. D．How to avoid the danger of space junk. 97．Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．Space Junk Causes Pollution B．How to Take Back Space Junk C．Exploring Space Takes in Unfortunate Results D．Space Junk Puts People at Risk 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 参考答案： 1．C 2．D 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章讲述了祖父母和孙辈住在一起的好处及对于两辈人同住的一些建议。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Being a grandparent is a big job, but grandparents have a lot of experience.

Unlike the elites who save the world in most Western superhero films, The Wandering Earth II focuses on a group of ordinary people with different nationalities and backgrounds who make sacrifices to protect their home. They also illustrates the spirit of unity that flows through the blood of Chinese people and can be shared with the rest of the world.(这部剧的特别之处在于它的英雄主人公。与大多数西方超级英雄电影中拯救世界的精英不同，《流浪地球2》关注的是一群不同国籍和背景的普通人，他们为了保护自己的家园而做出牺牲。他们还展示了流淌在中国人民血液中的团结精神，可以与世界其他国家分享。)”可知，《流浪地球2》里面的主人公们为了保护自己的家园而做出牺牲，可知他们非常无私；而根据最后一段“The creators of The Wandering Earth II are very similar to their characters in the movie, taking great courage and innovative spirit as the engine to push the planet of sci-fi movies into the future.(《流浪地球2》的创作者与电影中的角色非常相似，他们以巨大的勇气和创新精神作为引擎，将科幻电影的星球推向未来。)”可知，主人公们具有创新精神。故选B。 12．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We know that there is still a long way to go for China’s science fiction, but fortunately, there is a group of people who will never stop pushing forward.(我们知道中国的科幻小说还有很长的路要走，但幸运的是，有一群人永远不会停止前进。)”可知，刘慈欣认为虽然中国的科幻小说还有很长的路要走，但幸运的是，有一群人永远不会停止前进。由此可推断，人们对中国科幻电影的参与增强了他的信心。故选C。 13．B 14．D 15．A 16．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过举例来说明科技并不完美，但是那种认为科技天生就会扼杀创造力的想法是不正确的。 13．细节理解题。根据第一段“Among many other criticisms of technology is that it is killing creativity, or at least getting in the way. For example, the smartphone’s ability to keep us entertained whenever boredom threatens stifles (压制) the original thinking that might have otherwise taken place. And the Internet, critics say, gives us a limitless supply of content that we can draw from, copy, or even steal. All in all, it seems that in the minds of many, technology and creativity are in opposition.(在对科技的许多其他批评中，有一种批评是，它正在扼杀创造力，或者至少是阻碍创造力。例如，当无聊威胁到扼杀原本可能产生的原始思维时，智能手机就能让我们娱乐起来。批评人士说，互联网为我们提供了无限的内容，我们可以从中汲取、复制，甚至窃取。总而言之，在许多人的心目中，技术和创造力似乎是对立的)”可知，作者在第一段提出科技限制了我们的创造力这一普遍的信念。故选B项。 14．推理判断题。根据第三段“Information does not prevent creativity. We might have more data than ever, but the way that we use it is far from set in stone. Who could have guessed fifteen years ago that people all around the world would be getting into the cars of strangers, or sleeping in the beds of people they’d never met? And yet Uber, a ride-sharing service, and Airbnb, a home-sharing service —two truly original companies are now very well known.(信息不会阻碍创造力。我们可能拥有比以往更多的数据，但我们使用数据的方式远非一成不变。15年前，谁能想到全世界的人会钻进陌生人的车里，或者睡在素未谋面的人的床上?然而，拼车服务优步(Uber)和民宿共享服务Airbnb这两家真正的原创公司现在已经非常出名了)”可推知，作者举Uber和Airbnb的例子来说明显示信息带来的有利影响。故选D项。 15．推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，作者举了Uber和Airbnb的例子，根据第四段“Through mobile video platforms like YouTube, anyone with an Internet connection can develop their skills and be inspired by others.(通过像YouTube这样的移动视频平台，任何有互联网连接的人都可以提高自己的技能，并受到他人的启发)”可知，举了YouTube的例子，以及第五段“Forums and media platforms might create harmful echo chambers(回声室) for some forms of thought, but they also represent safe discussion environments for all topics and people, including creatives and would-be creatives, where exercises and conversations can encourage original thought.(论坛和媒体平台可能会为某些形式的思想创造有害的回音室，但它们也为所有话题和人提供了安全的讨论环境，包括创意人员和潜在的创意人员，在这里练习和对话可以鼓励原创思想)”作者举了论坛和媒体的例子。由此推知，作者通过举例来支持他的观点。故选A项。 16．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Technology is not perfect, but the idea that there is something naturally creativity-stifling about technology simply isn’t true. Creatives shouldn’t fear the tech “attack” but look for ways that they can take advantage of it to become better at what they do.(科技并不完美，但是那种认为科技天生就会扼杀创造力的想法是不正确的。创意人员不应该害怕技术的“攻击”，而是要寻找可以利用它的方法，让自己在工作中做得更好)”可知，作者给创意人员的建议是善用科技。故选B项。 17．D 18．B 19．A 20．C 【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了六岁的小女孩Bonita Lynn Nichols独自一人去办成人借书证的故事。 17．词句猜测题。根据前文“Down the street from Port Perry High was the library —a dark-red brick building(从佩里港高中走到街上就是图书馆——一座深红色的砖砌建筑)”后文“To the left of the sidewalk was a series of steps that I climbed to push through a heavy door into a very large room filled with books.(人行道的左边是一连串的台阶，我爬上台阶，穿过一扇沉重的门，进入一个摆满了书的大房间)”可知，图书馆是一座深红色的砖砌建筑，并且很宏伟，所以对一个六岁的小女孩来说是印象深刻的，和D项“Impressive”意思相近。故选D项。 18．细节理解题。根据第四段“She replied, “The children’s section is downstairs.”(她回答说：“儿童区在楼下。”)”以及第六段““Well, you are a child. You can’t get a card up here.”(“好吧，你是个孩子。你在这里拿不到借书证。”)”可知，图书管理员起初对作者的要求是拒绝的。故选B项。 19．推理判断题。根据第九段“I found the side door and walked in, seeing short and low shelves full of children’s books. Upon opening one, I read, “See Spot run. Run Spot. Run.” I opened another book. It read, “Once upon a time there was.” Sighing quietly, I walked out and back up to the main desk.(我找到侧门走了进去，看到又矮又短的书架上放满了儿童书籍。打开一看，上面写着：“看Spot跑。”Spot跑。跑。”我打开另一本书。上面写着：“从前有。”我静静地叹了口气，走出去，回到主桌子前)”可推知，作者看完楼下儿童区的书后，叹了口气，所以觉得是孩子气的。故选A项。 20．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““Yes. I will make you a deal. You hand me any book you like. If I can read a paragraph in it, you’ll give me a library card.” Shrugging (耸肩) happily, she handed me a thick book, I opened it and began to read. When I finished, the lady took the book back without a word.(“是的。我跟你做个交易。你喜欢什么书就给我什么书。如果我能读懂其中的一段话，你就给我一张借书证。”她高兴地耸了耸肩，递给我一本厚厚的书，我打开看了起来。我讲完后，那位女士一言不发地把书拿了回去)”以及最后一段“I waited for a while and finally the lady stood up, handing me two cards. On one was printed the days and times the library was open to adults, and on the other were the precious words, Bonita Lynn Nichols.(我等了一会儿，最后那位女士站了起来，递给我两张卡片。一张纸上印着图书馆对成年人开放的日期和时间，另一张纸上写着珍贵的文字：Bonita Lynn Nichols)”可知，图书管理员发现作者是一位有成人阅读能力的读者，所以把她的梦想卡片给了作者。故选C项。 21．A 22．B 23．C 24．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，人们的空闲时间并不是越多越好，“最佳点”可能是每天两到三个小时，而这个“最佳点”与人们怎样度过空闲时间有关。 21．细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The researchers analyzed data from 35,000 subjects about how Americans spend their free time.（研究人员分析了35000名美国人如何度过闲暇时间的数据）”可知，研究人员是通过研究收集到的数据进行空闲时间“最佳点”的研究的。故选A项。 22．词义猜测题。根据it所在的句子“Most of them believed their happiness would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day—but only if they used it unproductively.（他们中的大多数人认为，如果他们在白天有很多空闲时间，他们的幸福感就会受到影响——但前提是他们把它毫无意义地利用起来）”可知，句中的它（it）指的是上文的free time。故选B项。 23．推理判断题。根据第四段的句子“Of course, for you, any activities that increase your happiness are “productive”. If watching soap opera in your free time makes you feel better, you should do that due to self-care.（当然，对你来说，任何能增加幸福感的活动都是“富有成效的”。如果在空闲时间看肥皂剧让你感觉更好，你应该这样做，因为对你有利）”可知，作者提到“肥皂剧”是为了解释上文提到的观点：对你来说任何能增加幸福感的活动都是“富有成效的”。故选C项。 24．推理判断题。根据第三段的句子“Most of them believed their happiness would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day—but only if they used it unproductively.（他们中的大多数人认为，如果他们在白天有很多空闲时间，他们的幸福感就会受到影响——但前提是他们把空闲时间毫无意义地利用起来）”和第四段“Of course, for you, any activities that increase your happiness are “productive”. If watching soap opera in your free time makes you feel better, you should do that due to self-care. And some traditionally productive activities can be easy and fun. For example, walking and cooking can help burn stress and put people in a state of flow.（当然，对你来说，任何能增加幸福感的活动都是“富有成效的”。如果在空闲时间看肥皂剧让你感觉更好，你应该这样做，因为你有自我照顾。一些传统的生产性活动也可以变得简单而有趣。例如，散步和烹饪可以帮助燃烧压力，让人们处于一种心流状态）”以及第五段“‘In cases where people find themselves with large amounts of free time, such as retirement or unemployment,’ Sharif said, ‘our results suggest they can benefit from spending their newfound time with purpose.’（谢里夫说：‘在人们发现自己有大量空闲时间的情况下，比如退休或失业，我们的研究结果表明，他们可以有目的地利用新获得的时间。’）”可知，大量有目的的活动的自由时间可以影响人们的幸福感。故选A项。 25．B 26．A 27．C 28．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当代人们大多数时间都在为无聊且糟糕的会议做准备，指出办好会议需要技巧，并给出了一些建议。 25．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Running a meeting well takes skill. People need to know ahead why they are meeting, what they are supposed to achieve, who really needs to be there and how they should contribute. That sounds obvious but it is not, as anyone who has been to a pointless meeting knows. Yet meeting leaders are expected to learn all this on the job. I cannot remember ever being taught how to organize a meeting, and I have rarely had a job requiring me to do it.(主持好会议需要技巧。人们需要提前知道他们为什么要开会，他们应该达成什么目标，谁真正需要在那里，他们应该如何出力。这听起来很明显，但事实并非如此，任何参加过毫无意义的会议的人都知道这一点。然而，会议领导人应该在工作中学习所有这些。我不记得有人教过我如何组织会议，也很少有工作需要我这样做。)”可知，根据Madeleine所说，糟糕的会议是由于缺乏训练的会议领导导致。故选B。 26．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“I also like Madeleine’s descriptions of what she calls the Meeting Monsters: people who destroy meetings with all sorts of annoying behaviors. There is the unkind off-topic speaker. The non-stop noise in the background. The confusing rambler whose speech is endless. The rude multi-tasker. The one who says nothing but emails later to say what was decided will never work.(我也喜欢Madeleine对“会议怪物”的描述：那些用各种令人讨厌的行为破坏会议的人。一种是刻薄的跑题演讲者。背景中不停的噪音。说个没完没了的令人困惑的漫游者。粗鲁的一心多用者。一个什么都不说，只是后来发邮件说决定了什么的人永远不会成功。)”可知，“会议怪物”的典型行为总是喋喋不休。故选A。 27．推理判断题。根据文章最后第一段“A bad meeting is like a virus (病毒). By failing to produce good decisions it often requires another meeting to be held, then another and another.(糟糕的会议就像病毒。由于不能做出好的决策，它往往需要召开另一次会议，然后是一次又一次会议。)”可知，作者把糟糕会议比成病毒，因为糟糕的会议会导致再召开多次会议。故选C。 28．主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“The trouble is, we are all meeting monsters sometimes, says Madeleine.(“问题是，我们有时候都是会议怪物，”Madeleine说。)”以及最后一段“Luckily there is no need for a vaccine (疫苗), just a bit more care and preparation, and an understanding that there is no shame in being taught how to lead a meeting well.(幸运的是，不需要接种疫苗，只需要更多的用心和准备，以及理解学习如何很好地领导会议并不可耻。)”及全文可知，作者主要介绍办好会议，避免成为会议怪物需要的技巧。所以D选项“Kill the Meeting Monsters(杀死会议怪物)”可作为最好的题目。故选D。 29．D 30．C 31．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个艺术展览的时间，地点，主题以及门票等信息。 29．细节理解题。 根据I’M NOT A TROPHY中的“This art exhibit is committed to global awareness and prevention of poaching and trophy hunting ( 偷 猎 和 战 利 品 狩 猎) of endangered species such as elephants, lions, and rhinos. (这个艺术展览致力于提高全球对大象、狮子和犀牛等濒危物种的偷猎和战利品狩猎的认识和预防。)”和Address: Markowicz Fine Art Gallery (地址：Markowicz Fine Art Gallery)可知如果你想了解野生动物，应该去Markowicz Fine Art Gallery，故选D。 30．细节理解题。 根据CAROL BOVE: COLLAGE SCULPTURES中的“Admission: Adults: $10; Children under 12: FREE (门票：成人：10美元；12岁以下儿童：免费)”可知如果一对夫妇想和他们10岁的女儿一起去看Carol Bove的雕塑，他们应该付10美元*2=20美元，故选C。 31．细节理解题。 根据VAN GOGH: THE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE中的“Time: 10:00 am - 10:00 pm Daily between Oct. 9 and Nov. 28 (时间：10月9日至11月28日每天上午10:00至晚上10:00)”故选D。 32．D 33．B 34．C 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了无人机在保护白犀牛的重要作用，包括收集数据、观察动物的运动模式和数量，以及获取难以到达的区域的数据。无人机的使用减少了研究人员与猎人接触而可能面临的危险。虽然无人机在成本上存在一些缺点，但在对抗灭绝过程中，无人机技术仍然是可行的选择。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“ However, while rangers (护林者) and regular guarding can help in stopping hunters from certain areas, they are often well-armed and unafraid to fire upon those hoping to protect the rhinos. (然而，虽然护林员和常规守卫可以帮助阻止某些地区的猎人，但他们通常装备精良，不怕向那些希望保护犀牛的人开枪。)”可知，即使护林人员和警卫可以帮助阻止猎人进入某些地区，但猎人通常装备精良，不惧怕开枪，可能对那些希望保护犀牛的人造成伤害。故选D。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Instead, researches can send drones over the forest to get data about the habitat of the animals, and perhaps even get high quality images of them. This information can be extremely valuable when it comes to an on-foot exploring, as researchers can get up-to-date information on the whereabouts of the animals as they move.(相反，研究人员可以派遣无人机飞越森林，获取有关动物栖息地的数据，甚至可能获得它们的高质量图像。当涉及到徒步探险时，这些信息是非常有价值的，因为研究人员可以在动物移动时获得最新的行踪信息。)”可知，研究人员可以通过无人机获得关于动物栖息地的数据，并且甚至可以获得高质量的图像。这些信息对于步行探索非常有价值，研究人员可以获取动物移动的最新信息。故选B。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, drone tech is still becoming a more achievable option in the fight against extinction.(然而，无人机技术在对抗灭绝的斗争中仍然是一个更可行的选择。)”可知，无人机技术在对抗灭绝过程中正变得更加可行。文章并未表达作者对无人机技术的谨慎、担忧或怀疑，因此作者的态度是赞成的。故选C。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“The white rhinoceros (犀牛) holds near threatened state due to destructive hunting. Scientists are working hard to stop this and they’re doing it with some pretty cool drone (无人机) tech.(由于毁灭性的狩猎，白犀牛处于濒临灭绝的状态。科学家们正在努力阻止这种情况的发生，他们正在使用一些非常酷的无人机技术。)”以及第三段中“The endangered animals are usually found in thick jungle, and organizing a team for exploration can be expensive, time-taking, and require a great deal of bodies and planning. Instead, researches can send drones over the forest to get data about the habitat of the animals, and perhaps even get high quality images of them.( 濒临灭绝的动物通常在茂密的丛林中被发现，组织一个探险队可能是昂贵的，耗时的，需要大量的人员和计划。相反，研究人员可以派遣无人机飞越森林，获取有关动物栖息地的数据，甚至可能获得它们的高质量图像。) ”以及通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了无人机在保护濒临灭绝的白犀牛方面发挥了重要作用，同时，在保护其他濒临灭绝的动物中无人机还可以被派往厚密丛林中收集数据，提供实时信息。因此，B选项“Drones in Preservation(在保护中使用无人机)”是文章合适的标题。故选B。 36．A 37．D 38．D 39．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了作者在美国上高中第一天的情况。 36．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been here for three years. So I enrolled (登记) in the local high school in my new town.(我从印度远道而来，就是为了和在这里生活了三年的父母团聚。所以我在我的新城镇上了一所当地的高中)”可知，作者去美国上学是为了和父母团聚，故选A。 37．细节理解题。根据第二段中“He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India, we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector (投影仪). In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.(他给了我一张叫做‘课程要求’的表格，我在印度永远也拿不到，因为我们没有这样的东西。然后他让我选择坐在哪里。其实我并不想选座位。在印度，我们有固定的座位，所以我从不需要担心这个问题。在剩下的时间里，我根据投影仪产生的图像做笔记。在印度的学校里，我们没有使用这项技术。老师讲课时我们必须记笔记)”可知，作者在美国上学第一天从很多方面都感受到了美国学校和印度学校的不同。故选D。 38．词句猜测题。根据划线单词句后的“…I had to get through to reach my goal.(我达到目标必须克服……)”可猜测，划线单词hindrance为“障碍，困难”的意思，与D项Difficulty“困难”意思一致。故选D。 39．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I saw my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t so bad.(我看到我的公共汽车，高兴地坐在里面。我在想，今天还不错)”可知，作者在一天结束时感觉是快乐的。故选B。 40．A 41．B 42．C 43．D 【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍有线电视就像固定电话一样经历了兴衰。 40．段落大意题。根据第一段中“People have been predicting (预测) the death of cable TV (有线电视) for a long time, but this really might be it.(长期以来，人们一直在预测有线电视的消亡，但事实可能就是这样。)”和“That started to drop slowly at first and then far more quickly in the past few years. Now, the share of American homes that pay for traditional TV service is approaching 50 percent（这一比例开始缓慢下降，但在过去几年里下降速度要快得多。现在，付费收看传统电视服务的美国家庭比例接近50%）”可知，第一段主要告诉了我们有线电视“受欢迎程度的下降”。故选A。 41．推理判断题。根据第二段中“For comparison, cellphones were around for decades before the percentage of Americans who didn’t have a landline ( 座 机) at home reached 50 percent, around 2017. Maybe it seems predictable that cable TV would go the way of the landline. I promise you that it was not necessarily obvious, even once Netflix started to take off. Old habits die hard.(相比之下，在2017年左右没有固定电话的美国人比例达到50%之前，手机已经存在了几十年。有线电视将步固定电话的后尘，这似乎是可以预见的。我向你保证，这并不一定是显而易见的，即使是在Netflix开始腾飞的时候。旧习难改。)”可知，作者在第二段之所以提到手机和座机，是为了表明“要让有线电视消失并不容易。”故选B。 42．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Ian Olgeirson, a research director at Kagan who has been following America’s TV market for about 20 years, told me that he was surprised by how quickly the monthly cable bill went from being standard to outdated for many Americans. Olgeirson and other TV experts I’ve been speaking to didn’t single out a turning point in cable TV’s big drop.(Kagan的研究主管伊恩·奥尔格森(Ian Olgeirson)跟踪美国电视市场已有20年之久，他告诉我，对许多美国人来说，每月的有线电视账单从标准到过时的速度之快让他感到惊讶。Olgeirson和与我交谈过的其他电视专家并没有指出有线电视大幅下滑的转折点。)”可知，“美国人很快就放弃了有线电视”超出了Olgeirson的预期。故选C。 43．标题判断题。根据第一段中“People have been predicting (预测) the death of cable TV (有线电视) for a long time, but this really might be it. Just a decade (十年) ago, nearly all Americans — more than 85 percent of U.S. households — paid for packages of TV channels from cable or satellite ( 卫 星) companies.（很长一段时间以来，人们一直在预测有线电视的死亡，但事实可能就是这样。就在十年前，几乎所有的美国人——超过85%的美国家庭——都为有线电视或卫星电视公司的电视频道套餐付费。）”和第二段“For comparison, cellphones were around for decades before the percentage of Americans who didn’t have a landline ( 座 机) at home reached 50 percent, around 2017. Maybe it seems predictable that cable TV would go the way of the landline. I promise you that it was not necessarily obvious, even once Netflix started to take off. Old habits die hard.（相比之下，在2017年左右没有固定电话的美国人比例达到50%之前，手机已经存在了几十年。有线电视将步固定电话的后尘，这似乎是可以预见的。我向你保证，这并不一定是显而易见的，即使是在Netflix开始腾飞的时候。旧习难改。)可知，有线电视就像固定电话一样经历了兴衰。所以本文最佳标题是“Cable TV is the new landline(有线电视是新的固定电话)”。故选D。 44．D 45．C 46．B 47．A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是在一个泻湖上，距离马尔代夫首都马勒维尔仅10分钟的船程，一座足以容纳2万人的水上城市正在建设中。 44．推理判断题。根据第二段的“The project is not meant as a wild experiment: it’s being built as a practical solution to the reality of sea level rise.(这个项目并不是一个疯狂的实验:它是作为海平面上升现实的实际解决方案而建造的。)”可知，建造浮动城市的目的是应对海平面上升。故选D。 45．主旨大意题。根据第四段的“The units are constructed in a local shipyard, then pulled to the floating city. Once in position, they are joined to a large underwater concrete frame which is fixed to the seabed on telescopic (可伸缩的) steel poles that let it gently flow with the waves.(这些单元在当地造船厂建造，然后拉到浮动城市。一旦就位，它们就被连接到一个巨大的水下混凝土框架上，这个框架被固定在海底的伸缩钢杆上，让它随着海浪轻轻地流动。)”可知，第四段主要讲的是城市的建设过程。故选C。 46．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“There will be electricity powered mainly by solar energy.(电力将主要由太阳能提供。)”可知，电力主要来自太阳能。故选B。 47．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“There will be electricity powered mainly by solar energy. As an alternative to air conditioning, the city will use deep sea water cooling, which involves pumping cold water from the deep sea into the lagoon, helping to save energy.(电力将主要由太阳能提供。作为空调的替代方案，该市将使用深海冷水冷却，即从深海将冷水泵入泻湖，以帮助节省能源。)”可知，从最后一段可以得知这个城市很环保。故选A。 48．D 49．C 50．D 51．A 【导语】这是一篇议论文。讨论了出版公司Puffin修改Roald Dahl的作品所引发的争议。一些人支持修改，认为它能使书籍更具包容性；而另一些人反对修改，认为它等同于审查制度。文章探讨了这一问题，并呈现出两种不同的观点。 48．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Dahl’s original work included terms that were once considered acceptable but that many people today find upsetting, such as describing characters as “fat” and “ugly”. Puffin said it changed those words and others so the books “can continue to be enjoyed by all.”(达尔的原著包括一些曾经被认为是可以接受但今天许多人感到不安的术语，例如将角色描述为“胖”和“丑”。Puffin说，它改变了这些词和其他词，所以这些书“可以继续被所有人欣赏”。)”可知，Puffin要修改Roald Dahl的书是为了让人们接受这些书，故选D项。 49．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Many people argued against the move, however, saying it amounted to censorship (bans on people’s ideas or language). Others say it’s good to remove outdated and hurtful language. What do you think? Should publishers revise old books?(然而，许多人反对此举，称这相当于审查制度（禁止人们的想法或语言）。其他人说删除过时和伤害性的语言是件好事。你觉得怎么样？出版商应该修改旧书吗？)”可知，人们对Puffin的举动是有不同意见，故选C项。 50．推理判断题。根据第三段中“No—books should be left as they are. Censorship is dangerous because it limits what a person can say or how they express themselves.(不，书籍应该保持原样。审查制度是危险的，因为它限制了一个人可以说什么或他们如何表达自己。)”可知，持反对意见的人认为书应该按原样来呈现，故选D项。 51．推理判断题。文章探讨了Puffin修改Roald Dahl作品的争议，属于一个大的辩论话题，所以可能来自报纸上的大辩论板块。故选A项。 52．D 53．D 54．A 55．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。这篇文章主要讲述了作者小时候讨厌艺术，但在睡梦中却有超凡的绘画天赋。她在离开学校后成为一名护士，但她的艺术天赋引起了媒体和组织的关注，让她决定辞去工作成为全职艺术家。她的睡梦中的绘画才华让她充满信心，追逐她的艺术梦想。 52．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Growing up in north Wales, I was not able to rate higher than an E in my final exams. I wasn’t too upset; I thought I wasn’t going to choose it as a career. (我在北威尔士长大，在期末考试中，我的成绩没能超过E。我并没有太难过；我以为我不会选择它作为我的职业。)”可知，作者对于自己期末美术成绩不感到沮丧是因为作者讨厌美术，作者认为自己不会选择美术作为自己未来的职业，故作者并不觉得难过。故选D。 53．细节理解题。根据第二段中“ I showed some to my art teachers. They said: “Why can’t you do this in class?” (我给我的美术老师看了一些。他们说：“为什么你不能在课堂上做这个？”)”可知，当作者把梦游所画的作品展示给老师的时候，老师对自己表现出了信心，让作者在课堂上也这样做。故选D。 54．词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的句子“Within a week, I had 160 calls from different media outlets and organizations wanting to hear about my art. (一周之内，我接到了来自不同媒体和组织的160个电话，想要了解我的艺术。)”可知，在作者的画展之后，接到了来自不同媒体和组织的160个电话，想要了解作者的艺术，这表示他们对作者艺术画作的肯定，由此推断作者是极其开心的。A选项“Extremely pleased.(极其地开心)”与划线词为同义词。故选A。 55．推理判断题。根据第二段“By the time I was about four, I started sleepwalking. At night, I used to go under the stairs and scribble (乱画) on the wall. When I was 15, I was no longer just making scribbles. I was drawing anything from pictures of Marilyn Monroe to unrealistic paintings. (在我四岁的时候，我开始梦游。晚上，我常常走到楼梯下面，在墙上乱涂乱画。当我15岁的时候，我不再只是在涂鸦。我画了很多东西，从Marilyn Monroe的画到不现实的画。)”以及最后一段中“I then decided to leave my very fulfilling job in nursing and become a full-time artist.(然后我决定离开我非常充实的护理工作，成为一名全职艺术家。)”以及通读全文可知，作者小时候讨厌艺术，但在睡梦中却有超凡的绘画天赋，她在离开学校后成为一名护士，但她的艺术天赋引起了媒体和组织的关注，让她决定辞去工作成为全职艺术家。故作者充分的利用她睡梦中的绘画才华让她充满信心，追逐她的艺术梦想。故选D。 56．D 57．A 58．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了焦虑障碍对人们生活质量的重大影响，以及如何通过使用应用程序来帮助焦虑患者找到缓解。文章列举了几个应用程序，包括FINCH、MINDSHIFT、CALM 和 HEA DSPACE，它们分别通过代替用户、认知行为疗法、冥想和正念来帮助缓解焦虑和压力。这些应用程序都受到用户的积极评价，并且能够在治疗焦虑障碍方面起到积极的作用。 56．推理判断题。根据MINDSHIFT中“Mindshift is a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) based app that uses well-known methods of CBT to help overcome anxiety. It’s particularly useful to use after completing a CBT course with a therapist (治疗师) as it helps remind the user to continue with the strategies learned.”（Mindshift是一款基于认知行为疗法(CBT)的应用程序，它使用众所周知的CBT方法来帮助克服焦虑。在完成治疗师的CBT课程后使用它尤其有用，因为它有助于提醒用户继续使用所学的策略。）可知，CBT是一种课程，所以MINDSHIFT通过课程来帮助用户。故选D项。 57．细节理解题。根据CALM中“It’s had ten million downloads and always receives positive reviews from its users.”（这款游戏的下载量已经达到了1000万次，并且总是能得到用户的好评。）可知，CALM这款App提到了用户的评论。故选A项。 58．细节理解题。根据第一段“Anxiety disorders affect millions of people and can have a major impact on their quality of life. While it’s best to seek help from a mental health professional to treat an anxiety disorder, for many that’s easier said than done. Luckily, many apps available today are designed to help anxiety sufferers find relief.”（焦虑症影响着数百万人，并可能对他们的生活质量产生重大影响。虽然最好是寻求心理健康专家的帮助来治疗焦虑症，但对许多人来说，说起来容易做起来难。幸运的是，现在有许多应用程序可以帮助焦虑患者找到解脱。）可知，这四个App的共同之处是帮助用户缓解焦虑。故选C项。 59．B 60．C 61．C 62．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是早起有利于减肥、降低抑郁风险和提高工作效率。 59．词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“…reported feeling less depression, stress and daytime sleepiness after their body clocks were brought forward by two hours across a three-week period.(……报告称，在三周的时间里，他们的生物钟提前了两个小时，他们的抑郁、压力和白天困倦感都有所减轻。)”可知，此处讲述的是研究对象报告的情况，这些人觉得为期三周的生物钟提前两个小时后，自己的抑郁、压力和白天睡觉的情况减少，结合第三段中的“Multiple studies show morning types tend to perform better academically and at work and get more done than night owls.(多项研究表明，早起的人在学业和工作上的表现往往比夜猫子更好，完成的工作也更多。)”可知，大量研究表明，早起要比夜猫子在学业上和工作上的表现要好，由此可知，划线单词应是对应着早起的人，所以该短语的意思是“睡得晚的人”。故选B项。 60．主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Multiple studies show morning types tend to perform better academically and at work and get more done than night owls. (多项研究表明，早起的人在学业和工作上的表现往往比夜猫子更好，完成的工作也更多。)”可知，研究表明，早起的人在学业和工作方面比夜猫子的表现更好，结合下文分析这一研究结论的原因可知，本段主要讲述的是为什么早起的人的表现更好。故选C项。 61．细节理解题。根据尾段中的“Don’t set the alarm for 5:30 am if it means reducing overall sleep time. You could end up suffering from negative effects of sleep deprivation(缺乏), including a poorer mood and energy, less ability to concentrate, weight gain and more.(不要把闹钟定在早上5点半，如果这意味着减少整体睡眠时间。你最终可能会遭受睡眠剥夺的负面影响，包括情绪和精力不佳、注意力不集中、体重增加等等。)”可知，如果早起的过早，可能会有负面的影响，比如情绪和精力差、注意力不集中和体重增加等。故选C项。 62．主旨大意题。根据首段“Imagine a small lifestyle change that could both reduce your weight and risk of depression and boost your productivity. It’s as simple as getting up early on a regular basis. More interestingly, science is supporting it.(想象一下，一个小小的生活方式的改变既可以减轻你的体重，降低患抑郁症的风险，又可以提高你的工作效率。这就像经常早起一样简单。更有趣的是，科学也支持这一观点。)”可知，本文在第一段中介绍了研究发现，早起这样一个小小的生活方式的变化可能会有助于减肥、降低抑郁风险以及提高工作效率，进而在下文中对该研究发现进行分析，说明早起的人的表现会比晚睡的人更好，同时也指出不能早起过早，以免会产生更多负面的影响，所以，本文的题目为“早起的力量”基于本文的内容吻合，也可以概括全文的主题。故选A项。 63．A 64．C 65．B 66．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是一种新型环保的电池。 63．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They invented a water-activated paper battery using environmentally friendly materials that could eventually replace the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices.(他们发明了一种水激活纸电池，使用环保材料，最终可以取代低功耗设备中常见的更有害的电池。)”可知，科学家发明一种水激活的纸电池，可以最终取代有害的电池，由此可知，研究者发明新电池是为了取代旧的有害的电池。故选A项。 64．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They invented a water-activated paper battery using environmentally friendly materials that could eventually replace the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices.(他们发明了一种水激活纸电池，使用环保材料，最终可以取代低功耗设备中常见的更有害的电池。)”可知，这种新电池是使用环保材料，根据第三段中的“A traditional battery is made of plastic, metal or other harmful materials.(传统电池是由塑料、金属或其他有害材料制成的。)”可知，传统电池使用的是塑料、金属或者其他有害材料制作而成，由此可知，新的电池与传统电池是在材料方面不同。故选C项。 65．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“When the paper is dry, the battery is off. Once the paper is wet, the battery activates within 20 seconds. The new battery’s operating performance worsens as the paper dries. When the scientists rewet the paper during testing, the battery begins to work again and lasts an hour before beginning to dry out again.(当纸干了，电池就没电了。一旦纸湿了，电池就会在20秒内激活。随着纸张的干燥，新电池的运行性能会恶化。当科学家们在测试过程中将纸重新弄湿时，电池就会重新开始工作，并在再次变干之前持续工作一个小时。)”可知，当纸干了，就没电了，但纸湿了后，20秒又可以激活，科学家再次把纸弄湿后，电池又可以使用，且会一直持续到纸变干，由此可知，这种新型的电池可以反复使用。故选B项。 66．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“It is hard to predict a time line for producing such batteries in a large number, but that future may not be so far off.(很难预测大规模生产这种电池的时间线，但未来可能不会那么遥远。)”可知，大规模生产这种电池的时间不会很遥远，结合尾段中的““This really starts with the development of sustainable materials,” Nyström, the lead author, explains, “From there, I think we are able to create something that is quite useful.”(“这真的是从可持续材料的发展开始的，”Nyström，第一作者解释说，“从那里，我认为我们能够创造出一些非常有用的东西。”)”可知，Nyström认为这是一种非常有用的东西，综合以上信息可知，这种新电池有一个充满希望的未来。故选D项。 67．B 68．D 69．B 70．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。w文章主要介绍的是超加工食品的一些问题，过度使用超加工食品会产生健康问题。 67．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Ultra-processed foods currently make up nearly 60% of what the typical adult eats, and nearly 70% of what kids eat. They include everything from cookies and sodas to packaged breads and frozen meals, even ice creams.(目前，超加工食品占成年人饮食总量的近60%，占儿童饮食总量的近70%。它们包括从饼干和苏打水到包装面包和冷冻食品，甚至冰淇淋的所有东西)”可知，在日常饮食中，超加工的食品占据了相当大的比例。由此推知，超加工食品已经成为我们生活中重要的一部分。故选B项。 68．词句猜测题。根据划线单词后的““Too much of it leads to obesity and type two diabetes(糖尿病) and heart disease and cancer.” says Christopher Gardner, a professor at Stanford University, who has spent decades studying the links between diet and chronic disease (慢性病).(“吃得太多会导致肥胖、二型糖尿病、心脏病和癌症。斯坦福大学教授克里斯托弗·加德纳说。他花了几十年时间研究饮食和慢性病之间的联系)”可知，研究发现，过度使用超级工食品会造成身体健康问题，饮食与慢性疾病之间存在着联系。由此推知，划线单词的意思应是“过多地食用”。故选D项。 69．细节理解题。根据第三段中的““Too much of it leads to obesity and type two diabetes (糖尿病) and heart disease and cancer.” says Christopher Gardner, a professor at Stanford University, who has spent decades studying the links between diet and chronic disease (慢性病).(“吃得太多会导致肥胖、二型糖尿病、心脏病和癌症。斯坦福大学教授克里斯托弗·加德纳说。他花了几十年时间研究饮食和慢性病之间的联系)”可知，研究发现，过多使用超加工食品会造成健康问题。由此可知，健康问题是过多使用超加工食品的结果。故选B项。 70．细节理解题。根据尾段中的““It does need the whole society to pay attention to this, to work together, including the food industry and the government, to be able to reduce the amount of ultra-processed food our kids are consuming in their day,” he says.( “这确实需要整个社会都关注这一点，共同努力，包括食品行业和政府，以减少我们的孩子们每天消费的超加工食品的数量，”他说)”可知，Gardner认为，要从长远看来，要解决孩子的健康问题，需要的是整个社会引起重视，齐心协力。由此可知，Gardner的建议是团结社会的各方力量。故选C项。 71．B 72．A 73．B 74．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了一个年轻人获得了莫尔斯电码报务员这份工作的经历。 71．细节理解题。根据第一段“One day, a young man went to an interview for a job as a Morse code operator (莫尔斯电码报务员).(一天，一个年轻人去面试莫尔斯电码报务员的工作)”第二段“Answering the ad in the newspaper, he went to the office address.(为了应征报纸上的广告，他去了那个办公室)”可知，这个年轻人从报纸上得到了有关这份工作的信息。故选B项。 72．细节理解题。根据第二段“When he arrived, he walked into a large, busy office filled with noise, including the sound of the telegraph.(当他到达时，他走进一间大而繁忙的，充满了噪音，包括电报的声音的办公室)”可知，办公室大、繁忙且吵闹。故选A项。 73．细节理解题。根据第二段“Seven other people were already in the waiting area for the interview.(另外七个人已经在等候区等候面试了)”可知，再加上作者，一共是8个人在面试。故选B项。 74．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The boss said, “I’m sorry, but all the time you’ve been sitting here, the telegraph has been sending out the following message in Mores code: ‘If you understand this message, then come right in. The job is yours.’ None of you heard it or understood it. This young man did. The job is this.(老板说：“很抱歉，你一直坐在这里，电报机一直在用摩尔斯密码发出这样的信息：‘如果你看懂了这条信息，就请进来。这份工作就是你的了。’你们谁也没听见，也没听懂。这个年轻人做到了。工作就是他的了。”)”可知，这个年轻人得到了这份工作，因为他听到了电报信息并理解了电报的内容。故选C项。 75．A 76．D 77．C 78．B 【导语】本篇是议论文。Arthur Brooks 在给哈佛大学毕业生做演讲时，提醒大 家不要相信两个常见却糟糕的建议：1. 找到你所热爱的工作，这样你就会觉得工作非 常轻松；2. 拯救世界。同时，他提出了能让人真正收获职业幸福感的建议：1. 通过努力而非走捷径，以获取成功；2.  为他人服务，不管是做何种工作。 75．推理判断题。根据第二段“To the first, he claimed it’s a great way to ruin youngsters’ life. He explained that expecting a job to be fun all the time is too ideal”（对于第一个问题，他声称这是毁掉年轻人生活的好方法。他解释说，期望一份工作一直都很有趣是太理想化了）和“To expect one’s day job to solve the world’s various problems is another factor for disappointment in reality.”（指望一个人的日常工作能解决世界上的各种问题，这是现实中令人失望的另一个因素。）可知，这两条建议的共同问题是不切实际，故选 A。 76．词句猜测题。第四段第二句提到“For Brooks, happiness at work is not determined by your job title or income but the investment you put into your day.”（对布鲁克斯来说，工作中的快乐不是由你的职位或收入决定的，而是由你每天的投入决定的。）以及最后一句提到“What matters is that at the end of the day, you can say, you did your work with efforts and excellence.”（重要的是，在一天结束的时候，你可以说，你努力地、出色地完成了工作。）努力、出色地完成了任务说明在一天的工作中的是非常认真、非常投入，因此可以使一个人在工作中获得快乐，如果一个人在工作中摸鱼，不好好工作可能不会让人感到成就感或者满足感。划线部分“Don’t cut corner.”意为“不要偷工减料”，即要努力出色地工作以获得满足感。D项符合文意。故选D。 77．主旨大意题。第五段第一、二句提到“Some experts agree that positive relationships at work are a necessary ingredient for job satisfaction. Brooks’ second answer is in line with that finding: do your job in a way that serves others, not just yourself. ”（一些专家认为，积极的工作关系是工作满意度的必要因素。布鲁克斯的第二个答案与这一发现一致:以服务他人的方式工作，而不仅仅是为自己服务。）以及第四句提到“Instead, deeper satisfaction comes from work that can make a difference in the lives of some. ”（相反，更深层的满足感来自于能够改变一些人生活的工作。为他人服务取决于你的工作方式。）可知，一些为人服务的，能够改变别人生活的工作往往能够带来更深层次的满足感。故选C。 78．推理判断题。第三段最后一句提到“He has put forward his two answers to finding happiness at work.”（他提出了在工作中寻找快乐的两个答案。）该句引出后文中Brooks对于在工作中寻找快乐的方式。第四段第一句提到“The first key, according to Brooks, is what he calls earned success.”（根据布鲁克斯的说法，第一个关键是他所谓的“赢得的成功”。）第五段第二句提到“Brooks’ second answer is in line with that finding: do your job in a way that serves others, not just yourself. ”（布鲁克斯的第二个答案与这一发现一致：以服务他人的方式工作，而不仅仅是为自己服务。）由此判断，Brooks认为的“快乐公式”第一要“赢得成功”，第二要服务他人。故选B。 79．C 80．B 81．B 82．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了古树正在消失，今天地球上的许多树木都更年轻，更小，寿命更短。文章解释了为什么古老森林正在消失以及古老森林的重要性。 79．主旨大意题。根据第二段“As the Earth’s temperature warms up due to climate change, it is having unintended effects on the world’s forests. When temperatures rise, trees close their pores (气孔) to prevent the loss of moisture, and this, in turn, slows down the process of photosynthesis (光合作用). As a result, these trees are shorter and grow slowly, as well as have a high deathrate. Climate change also increases the possibility of droughts and wildfires. After wildfires, it takes a while for the forest ecosystems to recover, and in some cases, the forests are lost permanently. Trees that are stressed are also susceptible (易受影响的) to attacks by bacteria (细菌). Finally, humans have changed the forest landscape through logging (伐木). (由于气候变化导致地球温度升高，这对世界森林产生了意想不到的影响。当温度升高时，树木会关闭气孔以防止水分流失，而这反过来又会减缓光合作用的过程。因此，这些树较矮，生长缓慢，死亡率也很高。气候变化也增加了干旱和野火的可能性。野火过后，森林生态系统需要一段时间才能恢复，在某些情况下，森林会永久消失。受到压力的树木也容易受到细菌的攻击。最后，人类通过伐木改变了森林景观)”可知，第二段的主旨是为什么古老森林正在消失。故选C。 80．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Older forests have higher biodiversity, which is beneficial as each organism has a role to play and there is a wide variety of species.(古老森林具有更高的生物多样性，这是有益的，因为每种生物都可以发挥作用，而且此处物种种类繁多)”可知古老森林是许多物种的家园，以及划线词所在句“As these forests disappear, species that once called them “home” are forced to relocate, affecting the biodiversity of those ecosystems”可知，随着古老森林的消失，曾经把古老森林称为“家园”的物种被迫搬迁，影响了这些生态系统的生物多样性。故划线词指的是“古老森林”。故选B。 81．推理判断题。根据最后一段“With trees dying continuously, will future generations miss out on the wonders of forests?(随着树木的不断死亡，子孙后代会错过森林的奇观吗？)”结合文章主要说明了古树正在消失，今天地球上的许多树木都更年轻，更小，寿命更短。文章解释了为什么古老森林正在消失以及古老森林的重要性。可推知，作者通过文章最后一句反问来警告人们失去古树的后果。故选B。 82．推理判断题。根据第一段“Unfortunately, many of these precious old-growth trees are starting to disappear from our planet.(不幸的是，许多珍贵的古树正开始从我们的星球上消失。)”和倒数第二段“Old-growth forests are a storehouse of carbon, and when they die, the stored CO2, is released into the air worsening the greenhouse effect.(古老森林是碳的仓库，当它们死亡时，储存的二氧化碳被释放到空气中，加剧了温室效应)”结合文章主要说明了古树正在消失，今天地球上的许多树木都更年轻，更小，寿命更短。文章解释了为什么古老森林正在消失以及古老森林的重要性。可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是呼吁人们保护古树。故选D。 83．B 84．A 85．A 86．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了农民Scott Legried出事故住院了，镇上的人们自发为他收割大豆来帮助他，Scott希望自己将来可以报答这些人。 83．细节理解题。根据第一段“On August 15th, in the tiny farming town of Frost, Minnesota, Scott Legried was driving his pick-up truck when a puppy ran in front of him.
