These short videos, usually from a few seconds to a few minutes in length, have caught the attention of millions of users all over the world. However, as our time spent on short-form video content continues to rise, it is important to understand its influence on our attention span (持续时间). Short-form video content is designed to catch attention quickly and provide information or entertainment in a short and easy manner. While this can do good in some cases, it can also lead to a phenomenon known as “continuous partial attention”. Continuous partial attention is the state of repeatedly dividing one’s attention among several tasks. When watching short-form videos, people are often taking part in other forms of media or distractions (分心的事物) on their devices like computers or smart phones at the same time, such as checking information on social media platforms. This too-often switching of attention can lead to a decrease in focus and concentration, finally impacting our ability to retain information and engage in deep thinking. A study found that people who watched short videos were less likely to remember the information compared to those who watched longer videos or took other forms of learning. The researchers thought that the limited length of short-form videos may not provide enough time for the brain to process and store information into long-term memory. This suggests that while short-form videos can be a useful tool for getting to know new concepts at the beginning, it may not be as effective for deep learning and remembering. To decrease the negative effects of short-form videos on attention span, platforms that consider quality more important than quantity should be developed. By providing content that is meaningful and interesting and that makes people think seriously, these platforms can encourage users to engage in more focused and intentional use of short-form video content. Additionally, individuals can take active steps to manage their own short-form video consumption, such as setting time limits or engaging in activities that promote deep thinking and concentration. 8. What mainly causes the phenomenon “continuous partial attention”? A. Enjoying short-form videos of too many topics. B. Watching only part of each video without finishing it. C. Changing attention frequently to other tasks on the devices. D. Viewing and listening at the same time while watching short-form videos. 9. What does the underlined word “retain” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Keep. B. Update. C. Recover. D. Process. 10. What can be done to reduce the harm of short-form videos on attention span? A. Turning to long-form videos intentionally. B. Preventing the application of short-form videos. C. Setting limits on the length of short-form videos. D. Promoting short-form videos encouraging deep thinking. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards short-form videos? A. Unclear. B. Careful. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了短视频对人们注意力持续时间的影响，以及如何减少短视频对注意力的负面影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Continuous partial attention is the state of repeatedly dividing one’s attention among several tasks. When watching short-form videos, people are often taking part in other forms of media or distractions (分心的事物) on their devices like computers or smart phones at the same time, such as checking information on social media platforms.”（“持续的部分注意力是指反复将注意力分散到几个任务上。当人们观看短视频时，他们通常会同时参与电脑或智能手机上的其他媒体或分心的事物，比如查看社交媒体平台上的信息。”）可知，人们在观看短视频的同时，常常会分心做其他事情，这种频繁切换注意力的行为导致了“持续的部分注意力”现象。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“This too-often switching of attention can lead to a decrease in focus and concentration”（这种过于频繁的注意力切换会导致专注力和集中力的下降，）可知，这种过于频繁的注意力切换会导致专注力和集中力的下降，最终影响我们保留信息和进行深度思考的能力，因此，这里的“retain”应该是“保留”的意思。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“By providing content that is meaningful and interesting and that makes people think seriously, these platforms can encourage users to engage in more focused and intentional use of short-form video content. Additionally, individuals can take active steps to manage their own short-form video consumption, such as setting time limits or engaging in activities that promote deep thinking and concentration.”（ 通过提供有意义、有趣、让人认真思考的内容，这些平台可以鼓励用户更专注、更有意识地使用短视频内容。此外，个人可以采取积极措施来管理自己的短视频消费，例如设置时间限制或参与促进深度思考和集中注意力的活动）可知，推广鼓励深度思考的短视频减少短视频对注意力持续时间的危害。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“However, as our time spent on short-form video content continues to rise, it is important to understand its influence on our attention span (持续时间).”（ 然而，随着我们花在短视频内容上的时间不断增加，了解它对我们注意力持续时间的影响是很重要的）以及最后一段“To decrease the negative effects of short-form videos on attention span, platforms that consider quality more important than quantity should be developed.”（为了减少短视频对注意力持续时间的负面影响，应该开发质量比数量更重要的平台）可知，作者对短视频的态度是谨慎的。故选B。 D If you want to improve your memory, you need to know how your brain works. You might be surprised to hear that your lifestyle habits might be making it difficult for you to correctly record each piece of information, experience, or learning. It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks. As a matter of fact, the brain has more limited (有限的) energy resources than you probably think. Therefore. it tires quickly and its levels of attention begin to drop after about 30 to 45 minutes. The hippocampus is the area of your brain that’s responsible for consolidating (巩固) your short-term memories in the long term. Furthermore, for this consolidation to be possible, there must be an connection with different areas of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) . At the present time, we know that, for best connectivity, we must rest. Therefore, factors such as tiredness, bad feelings, or stress make it difficult to connect one area to the other. Michaela Dewar, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, conducted a study with other experts to understand how to improve memory consolidation processes. What they found was that something as simple as taking breaks of between 9 and15 minutes improves memory, both in healthy people and in those with neurological damage (神经系统受损) . However, there’s one small detail that’s important. The rest must be real rest. In other words, you should go to a quiet space and give up anything that takes your attention away. This includes not having your cellphone nearby. The secret to improving your memory requires you to rest for between 10 and 15 minutes leaving your mind completely empty. Your lifestyle plays an extremely important role in the way your memory functions (运转) . Rest isn’t wasting time. In fact, allowing yourself small breaks is good for your health and well-being. 12. What is the secret to improving memory? A. Learning about brain. B. Recording every details. C. Having breaks. D. Forming good habits. 13. What factor may influence the connection between different areas of cerebral cortex? A. Satisfaction. B. Sadness. C. Excitement. D. Happiness. 14. What does the underlined word “conducted” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Found. B. Began. C. Produce D. Organised. 15. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A science report. B. A dictionary. C. A course plan. D. A textbook. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了提高记忆力的关键就是要适当休息。大脑放空一定的时间才是真正意义的休息，休息好不仅能提高记忆力，对我们的身体也是大有益处。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks.(提高记忆力的秘诀似乎很简单。那就是休息)”可知，提高记忆力的秘诀是休息。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Therefore, factors such as tiredness, bad feelings, or stress make it difficult to connect one area to the other.(因此，疲劳、不良情绪或压力等因素使我们很难将一个区域与另一个区域联系起来)”可知，悲伤可能影响大脑皮层不同区域之间的联系。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“a study with other experts to understand how to improve memory consolidation processes. What they found was that something as simple as taking breaks of between 9 and15 minutes improves memory, both in healthy people and in those with neurological damage (神经系统受损).(与其他专家一起研究如何改善记忆巩固过程。他们发现，不管是健康人还是神经系统受损的人，像休息9到15分钟这样简单的事情都能提高记忆力)”可知，Michael a Dewar与其他专家一起组织进行了一项研究，发现休息9到15分钟可以帮助提高记忆力。故划线词意思是“组织”。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks. As a matter of fact, the brain has more limited (有限的) energy resources than you probably think. Therefore. it tires quickly and its levels of attention begin to drop after about 30 to 45 minutes.(提高记忆力的秘诀似乎很简单。这是为了休息。事实上，大脑的能量资源比你想象的要有限得多。因此。大约30到45分钟后，大脑很快就会疲劳，注意力水平开始下降)”结合文章主要讲述了提高记忆力的关键就是要适当休息。大脑放空一定的时间才是真正意义的休息，休息好不仅能提高记忆力，对我们的身体也是大有益处，这最可能来自一份科学报告，故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。(如果所用的答题卡没有E、F、G选项，则选E涂A、B，选F涂A、C，选G涂A、D。) Dealing with Stress in Sports Sports are a great way to have fun while staying fit.

If you have too much going on, think about limiting practice time or only doing one sport or activity per season. There will always be some stress in sports. ___18___. Trying different ways during practice helps you know what will work best for you during competition. You can try to take a deep breath and hold it in for about 5 seconds, then release (释放) it slowly.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了如何学会处理运动竞争带来的压力。 【16题详解】 根据下文“Having a healthy attitude about sports and learning to deal with the stress that comes with competing can help you perform your best.(对运动保持健康的态度，学会应对比赛带来的压力，可以帮助你发挥出最佳状态)” 可知，空处应是谈及对待运动的态度。再结合上文“Sports are a great way to have fun while staying fit. Sports also teach important life lessons like working as a team.(运动是在保持健康的同时获得乐趣的好方法。体育运动也教会了重要的人生课程，比如团队合作)”对体育运动好处的阐述及小标题“Dealing with Stress in Sports(应对运动中的压力)”提示全文讲应对运动中的压力，此处涉及对运动的一个消极态度。因此G项“但是当感觉胜利就是一切的时候，保持团结并不容易”符合语境，与下文形成转折，故选G。 【17题详解】 根据下文“And that can be good. A little stress helps the body face a challenge. But too much stress can take the fun out of a sport and make it hard to perform. If you think there might be too much stress around competing(这是件好事。一点点压力有助于身体面对挑战。但是太多的压力会使运动失去乐趣，使运动难以进行。如果你认为在比赛中压力太大)”可知，本段是谈论竞争中的压力，A项“竞争总是会带来一些压力”符合语境，故选A。 【18题详解】 上文“There will always be some stress in sports.(在运动中总会有一些压力)”提到在运动中总会有一些压力，下文“Trying different ways during practice helps you know what will work best for you during competition.(在练习中尝试不同的方法可以帮助你知道在比赛中什么最适合你)”是讲述应对压力的方法，B项“所以知道如何处理是很重要的”符合语境，引出下文，故选B。 【19题详解】 上文“Keep stress levels down when you aren’t competing.(当你不竞争时，降低压力水平)”提到当你不竞争时，降低压力水平，结合下文“Besides, doing something fun and relaxing is great(此外，做一些有趣和放松的事情是很好的)”可知，空处涉及不参加比赛时降低运动压力水平的一个方法，E项“最好吃得好，睡眠充足，尤其是在比赛前”符合语境，故选E。 【20题详解】 上文“Finally don’t forget that no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes in sports. It is part of the game.(最后，别忘了没有人是完美的。每个人在运动中都会犯错。这是游戏的一部分)”说明此处应涉及对运动犯错的态度。即迅速原谅错误，继续前进。结合后文的问号可知本句有疑问的意味，因此C项“为什么不迅速原谅错误，继续前进呢”符合语境，故选C。 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 As I have perfect pitch (绝对音感) and started playing piano at 3 years old, it’s much natural for me to join the school’s choir when I got to college in the US.

Most people live under the stereotype (刻板印象) that they lose their learning abilities with age. However, if faced ____38____ a challenge when there is no other way except to learn the new foreign language, adult people can show great results. Before ____39____ (decide) how to learn a new language, the first thing is to decide in which situation the language is to be used. If the target is, for example, ____40____ (travel) or find new business at some international events, a course focusing on speaking practices is recommended. The basic vocabulary and ____41____ (conversation) structures (结构), studied and practised heavily during a short period of time, may lead to the needed result, which might be the ability to communicate on the streets or support ____42____ small business talk. Usually the two or three months of study ____43____ (be) enough to start communicating. However, if brought back shortly to the usual environment, the person might lose the majority of knowledge if there would not be any supporting practice afterwards. Unfortunately, without practical usage ____44____ further development, the language abilities may go away as easily as they came. The language cannot _____45_____ (learn) once and forever. 【答案】36. internationally 37. countries 38. with 39. deciding 40. to travel 41. conversational 42. a 43. is 44. or 45. be learned##be learnt 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了学习语言有很多好处，所以不要怕自己年龄大了学不好。首先要确定自己学习一门新语言的目的，然后学习以后要经常使用它，语言的学习并不是一劳永逸的。 【36题详解】 考查副词。句意：学习语言有很多好处:在国外旅行时感到自信，在国际上交朋友，能够阅读原版书籍，还有更多，比如在其他国家学习和工作。空格处用副词internationally作状语，internationally意为“在国际上”。故填internationally。 【37题详解】 考查名词的复数。句意：学习语言有很多好处:在国外旅行时感到自信，在国际上交朋友，能够阅读原版书籍，还有更多，比如在其他国家学习和工作。other后跟复数countries，故填countries。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：然而，如果面对一个挑战，当没有其他办法，除了学习新的外语，成年人可以显示出很大的结果。be faced with是固定短语，意为“面对”，因此空格处是介词with，故填with。 【39题详解】 考查动名词。句意：在决定如何学习一门新语言之前，首先要决定在什么情况下使用这门语言。Before是介词，其后跟动名词deciding作宾语，故填deciding。 【40题详解】 考查不定式。句意：例如，如果你的目标是旅行或在一些国际活动中寻找新业务，那么建议你选择一门以口语练习为重点的课程。target后用不定式作表语，因此空格处是不定式to travel。故填to travel。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在短时间内大量学习和练习基本词汇和会话结构，可能会获得所需的结果，这可能是在街上沟通的能力或支持小型商务会谈的能力。空格处用形容词conversational作定语，修饰名词structures，conversational意为“会话的”。故填conversational。 【42题详解】 考查冠词。句意：在短时间内大量学习和练习基本词汇和会话结构，可能会获得所需的结果，这可能是在街上沟通的能力或支持小型商务会谈的能力。talk是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，small是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。 【43题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：通常两到三个月的学习就足够开始交流了。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语the two or three months of study是不可数名词，因此空格处用is，故填is。 【44题详解】 考查连词。句意：不幸的是，如果没有实际应用或进一步发展，语言能力可能会像它们来的一样容易消失。根据语境可知，句子表示“如果没有实际应用或进一步发展”，空格处意为“或者”，用or，故填or。 【45题详解】 考查被动语态。句意：这种语言不可能一劳永逸地学会。语言是被学习，句子用被动语态，空前有情态动词cannot，因此空格处是be done，learn的过去分词是learned/learnt。故填be learned/be learnt。 第四部分 写作(满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 在成长的过程中，我们总是对未来的职业充满憧憧，近期你班将以“My Dream Career”为题举行演讲比赛。请你根据以下要求写一篇英语演讲稿，内容包括： 1. 你的理想职业； 2. 选择它的理由； 3. 实现的途径。 注意： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 可根据内容要点适当发挥，以使行文连贯。 My Dream Career ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Good morning, everyone!

One Monday morning, he was nearly late for school because his family attended a wedding and reached home late the night before. Hurriedly, he even had no time for breakfast. At school, Eric was starving to death and could not concentrate on anything but wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Eric quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, only to find that he had forgotten to take money since he was in such a hurry in the morning. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but in vain. Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on the grassland in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among whom was Henry. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very rude boy who regarded everyone else as a failure. But Eric was a newcomer, he didn’t know much about Henry. When he approached Henry and asked whether he could borrow some money for his lunch, Henry laughed at once and said, “I didn’t know you were a loser, maybe a beggar?” Henry laughed out so loud that other kids also made fun of Eric. Embarrassed and angry, Eric said nothing and slowly walked back towards an empty bench. When he reached the bench, he saw something lying under it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it belonged to Henry, as he remembered Henry showing it to his friends and telling them that his uncle had bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 An idea appeared in his mind at this moment. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then Henry said, “Why are you giving it back?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： An idea appeared in his mind at this moment. Eric wanted to keep it a secret and punish Henry. However, it was not easy. He felt a sense of guilt rising inside of him. Glancing first at Henry, who was still chatting happily, and then at the wallet in his hand, Eric finally made up his mind. He got up and went straight to Henry and his group. Upon seeing Eric approaching him, Henry said, “Hey, loser! You okay? Still want the money?” “No,” replied Eric, “I just came to return your wallet which you have dropped over there.” Henry stood shocked for a second. All his friends were silent too. Then Henry said, “Why are you giving it back?” “Because I was told by my family that honesty won’t let you down,” explained Eric. Henry avoided Eric’s shining eyes. What followed was a long silence, which was eventually broken by Eric’s stomach growling loudly. Surprisingly, the arrogant boy reached out his hand and asked, “What about having lunch together?” Before Eric could say anything, Henry quickly added, “Of course, my treat.” It was on that very day that Eric made his first friend in the new school, and he truly recognized the value of sincerity and honesty in a relationship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Eric是一个非常诚实和勤奋的男孩。最近，他进入了一所新学校，还没有朋友。一天，Eric忘记带钱包了，没钱吃午饭，他问Henry能不能借点钱吃午饭时，Henry嘲笑他。他走开后，却发现了Henry的钱包。经过思想斗争，最终，Eric将钱包还给了Henry。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“这时，一个念头出现在他的脑海里。”可知，第一段可描写Eric经过激烈的思想斗争，最终把钱包还给了Henry，以及Henry和朋友们的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后亨利说:“你为什么要把它还给我?”可知，第二段可描写Eric解释归还钱包的原因，Henry邀请Eric一起吃饭，两人最终成为好朋友。 2续写线索：内心挣扎——决定还钱包——Henry感到震惊——Eric解释归还原因——Henry邀请Eric一起吃饭——收获友谊 3.词汇激活 行为类 下定决心：make up one’s mind to do/be determined to do 靠近：approach/draw near 归还：return/give back 情绪类 高兴地：happily/delightedly 令人惊讶地：surprisingly/amazingly 【点睛】[高分句型1] Glancing first at Henry, who was still chatting happily, and then at the wallet in his hand, Eric finally made up his mind.（运用了现在分词作状语，who引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] It was on that very day that Eric made his first friend in the new school, and he truly recognized the value of sincerity and honesty in a relationship.（运用了强调句） 听力：1-5 ACBBA 6-10 CBACA 11-15 CAABC 16-20BACBB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 祥云祥华中学2023-2024学年下学期升级考试 高一英语测试卷 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)。共4页。考试结束，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第Ⅰ卷 注意事项： 1．答第Ⅰ卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。不能答在本试卷上，否则无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．Why does Linda refuse to go to the concert?

He loves to read during all of his free time. His friends laugh at him because he would rather read than play video games, but his parents and his teachers are proud of him. They say reading is important, and it will help him learn about the world around him. They also tell him it is a good habit. One day Max was reading a magazine article about volcanos(火山). He told his friends all about volcanos and what causes them to erupt. The very next week, the teacher started a science project about volcanoes. Guess who everyone wanted in their project group! Max’s friends weren’t laughing at him anymore. Max ended up being in a group with Liz, Anna and Josh. The work was to create a poster board with information about volcanoes and to build a volcano model. Max made copies of the magazine article about volcanoes so his project partners could read about them too. They also went to the library to look for more information about volcanos. The group met at Anna’s house that night to organise the information and decide what they wanted to put on the poster board. They all asked Max what he thought was most important. Then they decided together to do what Max said. The next night they met at Josh’s house to build their volcano. They used cardboard and modeling clay. First they made a volcano shape with the cardboard, and then they covered the shape in brown and red clay. The volcano looked great. Max, Liz, Anna and Josh were very proud of their hard work. When they turned in their project, their teacher was proud too. Thanks to Max’s good habit they came an A +on both parts of the project. 4. Why do Max’s friends laugh at him? A. He is weak in all the sports. B. All the teachers only like him. C. He and his parents always stay at home. D. He likes reading instead of playing video games. 5.

Making a Volcano Model C Short-form video content has become more and more popular in recent years, with many platforms (平台) having a key influence. These short videos, usually from a few seconds to a few minutes in length, have caught the attention of millions of users all over the world. However, as our time spent on short-form video content continues to rise, it is important to understand its influence on our attention span (持续时间). Short-form video content is designed to catch attention quickly and provide information or entertainment in a short and easy manner. While this can do good in some cases, it can also lead to a phenomenon known as “continuous partial attention”. Continuous partial attention is the state of repeatedly dividing one’s attention among several tasks. When watching short-form videos, people are often taking part in other forms of media or distractions (分心的事物) on their devices like computers or smart phones at the same time, such as checking information on social media platforms. This too-often switching of attention can lead to a decrease in focus and concentration, finally impacting our ability to retain information and engage in deep thinking. A study found that people who watched short videos were less likely to remember the information compared to those who watched longer videos or took other forms of learning. The researchers thought that the limited length of short-form videos may not provide enough time for the brain to process and store information into long-term memory. This suggests that while short-form videos can be a useful tool for getting to know new concepts at the beginning, it may not be as effective for deep learning and remembering. To decrease the negative effects of short-form videos on attention span, platforms that consider quality more important than quantity should be developed. By providing content that is meaningful and interesting and that makes people think seriously, these platforms can encourage users to engage in more focused and intentional use of short-form video content. Additionally, individuals can take active steps to manage their own short-form video consumption, such as setting time limits or engaging in activities that promote deep thinking and concentration. 8. What mainly causes the phenomenon “continuous partial attention”? A. Enjoying short-form videos of too many topics. B. Watching only part of each video without finishing it. C. Changing attention frequently to other tasks on the devices. D. Viewing and listening at the same time while watching short-form videos. 9. What does the underlined word “retain” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Keep. B. Update. C. Recover. D. Process. 10. What can be done to reduce the harm of short-form videos on attention span? A. Turning to long-form videos intentionally. B. Preventing the application of short-form videos. C. Setting limits on the length of short-form videos. D. Promoting short-form videos encouraging deep thinking. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards short-form videos? A. Unclear. B. Careful. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful. D If you want to improve your memory, you need to know how your brain works. You might be surprised to hear that your lifestyle habits might be making it difficult for you to correctly record each piece of information, experience, or learning. It would appear that the secret to improving your memory is really simple. It’s to take breaks. As a matter of fact, the brain has more limited (有限的) energy resources than you probably think. Therefore. it tires quickly and its levels of attention begin to drop after about 30 to 45 minutes. The hippocampus is the area of your brain that’s responsible for consolidating (巩固) your short-term memories in the long term. Furthermore, for this consolidation to be possible, there must be an connection with different areas of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) . At the present time, we know that, for best connectivity, we must rest. Therefore, factors such as tiredness, bad feelings, or stress make it difficult to connect one area to the other. Michaela Dewar, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, conducted a study with other experts to understand how to improve memory consolidation processes. What they found was that something as simple as taking breaks of between 9 and15 minutes improves memory, both in healthy people and in those with neurological damage (神经系统受损) .

Your lifestyle plays an extremely important role in the way your memory functions (运转) . Rest isn’t wasting time. In fact, allowing yourself small breaks is good for your health and well-being. 12.

He had entered a new school recently, so he had no friends yet. One Monday morning, he was nearly late for school because his family attended a wedding and reached home late the night before. Hurriedly, he even had no time for breakfast. At school, Eric was starving to death and could not concentrate on anything but wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Eric quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, only to find that he had forgotten to take money since he was in such a hurry in the morning. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but in vain. Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on the grassland in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among whom was Henry. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very rude boy who regarded everyone else as a failure. But Eric was a newcomer, he didn’t know much about Henry. When he approached Henry and asked whether he could borrow some money for his lunch, Henry laughed at once and said, “I didn’t know you were a loser, maybe a beggar?” Henry laughed out so loud that other kids also made fun of Eric. Embarrassed and angry, Eric said nothing and slowly walked back towards an empty bench. When he reached the bench he saw something lying under it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it belonged to Henry, as he remembered Henry showing it to his friends and telling them that his uncle had bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 An idea appeared in his mind at this moment. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then Henry said, “Why are you giving it back?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力：1-5 ACBBA 6-10 CBACA 11-15 CAABC 16-20BACBB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
