微卷(十三)　50分阅读提分练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·武汉市高三模拟)Schaumburg District 54，a school district in Schaumburg，IL，has implemented a happiness curriculum.A key component of the curriculum is gratitude，where students develop four habits that take up just 21 minutes each day through exercises and learn to be thankful for not what they may want，but what makes them happy right now.And the four happiness habits are listed. Two minutes of emailing Write a two­minute maximum email each day praising or thanking a different person in your life.Not only do you often receive positive emails back，but this habit significantly increases your social connection，which is the greatest predictor of long­term happiness and is also as predictive of how long you will live as obesity or high blood pressure. Fifteen minutes of movement Fifteen minutes of movement each day can be the equal of taking an antidepressant，and acts as a gateway drug because people who do this start adding on entire groups of positive habits. Two minutes of meditation (冥想) Two minutes of meditation—simply watching your breath go in and out—improves accuracy on tasks by 10 percent，significantly reduces stress，improves sleep and raises engagement scores. Two minutes of journal Two minutes of journal about a positive，meaningful experience each day can significantly decrease pain symptoms and stress and increase the amount of meaning you feel in your life.Simply think of one meaningful event that happened over the past 24 hours and then on a sheet of paper，write down some details you can remember，which is called “Doubler”.Your brain struggles to tell the difference between visualization and actual experience，so you are doubling a meaningful event each day. 1.What does the new curriculum focus on？ A.Being grateful. B.Being energetic. C.Physical health. D.Interpersonal relationship. 2.Which habit promote you to develop good habits？ A.Two minutes of journal. B.Two minutes of emailing. C.Two minutes of meditation. D.Fifteen minutes of movement. 3.What is the benefit of keeping a diary？ A.Improving sleep. B.Boosting optimism. C.Gaining insight into life. D.Increasing social connection. B (2024·山西省重点中学高三联考) Since September I've been living in a hall，just a stone's throw from the Thames.Campus is a 25­minute walk from my hall，which is across the river and down Fleet Street.There，in The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)，I take courses in social policy，philosophy and public policy，public management and behavioural economics. In the first few weeks we covered how to measure well­being，how to distribute health care resources，and the origins of the welfare state，to name only a few.I've had great support from my academic adviser，who I was told is really somebody and highly respected in the field of social policy. I learn loads of things each day and more importantly，what I learn feels relevant.Looking back，I can better understand the work I did in the government，and how the approaches I've learned work or fail in other situations.After one term，I can feel my viewpoint change from 50 feet to 50，000 feet. Probably the most difficult part of attending graduate school overseas isn't the education itself but rather the act of “putting the previous life on hold”.I think this is especially true for students who have already started their professional life or are a couple of years older. But there are plenty of benefits，and I feel that time at LSE passes faster than I realize.Already，I've made friends with students from dozens of other countries，which brings great advantages and fun.Perhaps what unites us is the great British tradition of meeting each other at the end of the week for entertainment at the cafe.In fact，I'm about to make my way there now. 4.What do we know about the author？ A.He lives very close to campus. B.His major is political science. C.His adviser enjoys a good reputation. D.He is studying to a tight schedule. 5.What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3？ A.He has become far­sighted. B.His mind has been broadened. C.He can handle various situations. D.His life attitude varies with time. 6.Which might be the hardest for overseas students？ A.Dealing with the heavy study load. B.Gaining an understanding of British traditions. C.Being used to the local educational system. D.Leaving one's former life behind temporarily. 7.What message about the author is implied in the last paragraph？ A.He is going to join a get­together for fun. B.He decides to go after his professional life. C.He wants to make friends with more students. D.He has a deep preference for British traditions. C Famous for its tolerance (宽容) as well as its narrow houses and broad canals (运河)，Amsterdam is undergoing a change of attitude when it comes to the millions of tourists that come to see it each year.Tolerance has reached its limits in the capital of Dutch，which is now actively urging visitors to head elsewhere. Ellen van Loon，a partner at Dutch architectural firm OMA says，“We don't want to turn into a Venice. While tourism earns the Dutch economy around 82 billion Euros a year，the problem we are currently facing is that Amsterdam is so loved by tourists，we just have so many coming to the city.” Netherlands tourist officials recently took the decision to stop advertising the country as a tourist destination.Their “Perspective 2030” report，published earlier this year，stated that the focus will now be on “destination management” rather than “destination promoting”.The document also describes the country's future strategy，acknowledging that Amsterdam's livability will be severely influenced by “visitor overload” if action isn't taken. Solutions (解决办法) listed include working to discourage groups of visitors by either limiting or completely shutting down accommodation and entertainment products aimed at them，as well as spreading visitors to other parts of the Netherlands.Some of these measures have already come into play.Last year，the famous “I Amsterdam” sign was removed from outside the Rijksmuseum，the city's main art gallery.The two­meter high letters have been moved to various “lesser­known neighborhoods” in order to entice travelers to leave the center of the city. But will the measures being put in place be enough to save it from being damaged by its own success？Like many other locals，van Loon fears Amsterdam has lost its uniqueness forever.“The reason tourists come here is that there's something in the character of Amsterdam they love，” she explains.“But at a certain point，when the number of tourists is increasing and increasing，they actually kill what they loved in the first place.” 8.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicate？ A.Amsterdam doesn't necessarily copy Venice. B.Venice does more poorly than Amsterdam. C.Amsterdam is more popular than Venice. D.Venice is suffering from over­tourism. 9.Why did Amsterdam advise visitors to head elsewhere？ A.To avoid much spending on city management. B.To turn the focus on destination promoting. C.To promote the development of other areas. D.To reduce its pressure of mass visitors. 10.What does the underlined word “entice” in Paragraph 4 mean？ A.Promise. B.Persuade. C.Inform. D.Allow. 11.What's van Loon's attitude to the measure？ A.Skeptical. B.Intolerant. C.Ambiguous. D.Positive. D Life continually requires that we write down a few words of thanks： for holidays，meals，presents or people's place in our hearts.However，too often，our messages end up flat or somewhat unconvincing.To make our messages more effective，we might take a lesson from the history of art. To some extent，what distinguishes great from common art is the level of detail with which the world has been studied.A talented artist is，first and foremost，someone who takes us into the specifics of the reasons why an experience or a place felt valuable.They don't merely tell us that spring is “nice”，they zero in on the particular contributing factors to this niceness： leaves that have the softness of a newborn's hands，the contrast between a warm sun and a sharp breeze，the soft cry of baby blackbirds... Some of the reason why great artists are rare is that our minds are not well set up to understand why we feel as we do.But we can be confident if our minds have been affected，the reasons why they've been so will be somewhere，waiting to be uncovered.We stand to realize that it wasn't so much that the food was “delicious”，but that the potatoes in particular had a charming rosemary and garlic flavour.A friend wasn't just “nice”；they brought in a hugely sensitive and generous tone to ask us what it had been like for us when we suffered.The details will be there，waiting for us to catch them. We don't have to be great artists to send effective thank­you notes.We just need to locate and hold on tightly to two or three highly detailed reasons for our gratitude. 12.What can we infer from Paragraph 1？ A.We seldom express gratitude by writing. B.We usually find messages of thanks touching. C.We should take a course in message writing. D.We may draw inspiration for thank­yous from arts. 13.What does the underlined phrase “zero in on” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？ A.Leave out.　　　 B.Clear up. C.Focus on. D.Hold back. 14.How is Paragraph 3 developed？ A.By classification. B.By example. C.By definition. D.By process. 15.Which would the author recommend to express gratitude？ A.I am blessed to have such a wonderful week. B.Your caring and warm smile lights up my day. C.Thank you so much for your great present. D.This is the most delicious dinner I've ever had. Ⅱ.阅读七选五 (2024·贵州省适应性测试)Are you afraid of expressing ideas or making negative comments？ Do you always say yes to seek shelter or want approval from others？　16　 You probably tend to satisfy other people's needs ahead of your own.In the long run，it will have a side effect on your life.It'll take some time for you to adjust，and it's time to know how. •Say “no” effectively. It might take some practice，but let people know when you can't do what they want.If a flat “no” seems difficult to you，show your understanding for the person and his or her needs.　17　 •Set your priorities. 　18　 It helps you choose what to say yes to and what to decline.If you feel trapped in a decision，write a list of your demands (or options) and place them in order of what's most important to you. •　19　 There's nothing wrong with voicing your opinions.Simply reminding people that you're an individual with your own preference is a big step forward.If you tend to please people by going along with other people instead of voicing your likes or dislikes，speak out. •Take care of yourself. Ignoring your needs can be a sign of a lack of self­love.Looking after yourself and taking care of your body isn't selfish.　20　 Eat healthy meals，exercise regularly，and do things that make your body feel good. A.Develop your preference. B.Speak up for what you want. C.Spare some time each day for your health. D.If you agree to help someone，set a time limit. E.If yes，you may be classified as a people pleaser. F.Place the most important at the top of the schedule. G.Still，you need to be firm in saying that you cannot help them. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 微卷(十三)　50分阅读提分练 Ⅰ. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了幸福课程中的四个幸福习惯。 1.A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A key component of the curriculum is gratitude”可知，新的课程聚焦于懂得感恩，故 A项正确。 2.D　细节理解题。根据第三段“Fifteen minutes of movement...start adding on entire groups of positive habits.”可知，每天15 分钟的运动有助于你养成良好的习惯，故D项正确。 3.C　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“increase the amount of meaning you feel in your life” “you are doubling a meaningful event each day”可知，记日记能让人加深对生活的意义以及有意义的事情的认识，故 C项正确。 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在伦敦政治经济学院求学的难忘经历及收获。 4.C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“my academic adviser，who I was told is really somebody and highly respected in the field of social policy”可知，作者的导师是社会政策方面的大人物，备受尊敬。由此可知，作者的导师应是享有很高的声望的。故选C。 5.B　句意理解题。根据第三段中的“Looking back，I can better understand the work I did in the government...50，000 feet.”可知，回顾过去，作者能更好地理解他在政府部门所做的工作，也能更好地理解他所学到的方法在其他情况下是如何奏效或失灵的。一个学期下来，他能感觉到他的视角从50英尺变到了5万英尺。由此可推断，作者的思维变得更加开阔了。 6.D　推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，作者认为也许在海外读研究生最困难的部分不是教育本身，而是“将原来的生活暂停”这一行为。对于那些已经开始他们的职业生涯或年长几岁的学生来说尤其如此。故选D。 7.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Perhaps what unites us is...I'm about to make my way there now.”可知，作者要去参加聚会，获得乐趣。故选A。 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述因为游客过多让阿姆斯特丹面临着很大的压力，因此当局采取了相应的措施。 8.D　句意理解题。根据文章第二段可知，虽然荷兰每年从旅游业上给经济带来了很大收益，但又面临着因为游客多而带来的问题。所以画线句言外之意是威尼斯正遭受旅游过度之苦。故选D。 9.D　推理判断题。根据文章第二段和第三段可知，因为游客过多导致阿姆斯特丹面临着很多的压力。因此当局建议游客去别的地方以减轻游客多的压力。故选D。 10.B　词义猜测题。第四段主要讲述阿姆斯特丹为减轻过度旅游带来的压力而采取的措施，这样做的目的是说服游客离开市中心。因此可以推断“entice”表示“说服”之意。Persuade“说服”符合题意。故选B。 11.A　观点态度题。根据最后一段可知，van Loon对此事表示担心。因此对于这些措施他表示怀疑的态度。Skeptical“怀疑的”符合题意。故选A。 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。在信息时代，我们缺少一颗感恩的心。我们可以从艺术史中，向伟大的艺术家学习。他们抓住一些小细节进行描绘，所以作者建议我们在表达感恩和感谢时应该找到并紧紧抓住两三个非常详细的理由。 12.D　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“To make our messages more effective，we might take a lesson from the history of art.”可知，为了使我们的信息更有效，我们可以从艺术史中学习。故D项正确。 13.C　词义猜测题。根据画线部分所在句的前句和后句信息可知，艺术家不仅仅告诉我们春天很美好，而且还告诉我们一些(这种美好的)细节如：似新生儿柔软的手的树叶，温暖的阳光和刺骨的微风的反差，小鸟轻柔的叫声……。由此可推知，画线词应是指艺术家还专注描写细节。故“zero in on”应是“专注于”。 14.B　推理判断题。第三段以土豆美味和朋友的关心两个小细节为例论证：细节等待着我们去捕捉。故第三段是通过举例来论证观点。故B项正确。 15.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“We just need to locate and hold on tightly to two or three highly detailed reasons for our gratitude.”可知，作者认为在表达感谢时应该找到并紧紧抓住两三个非常详细的理由，B项属于这种详细的理由。故B项正确。 Ⅱ. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何做到不讨好他人，比如有效地说“不”，照顾好自己等。 16.E　根据上文中的一般疑问句可知，空处应该会是对这些问题的回答或归纳，选项中只有E项符合这一要求，故E项符合语境。 17.G　本段的主旨句讲“有效地说‘不’”，再根据空前一句表述的“如果断然拒绝对你来说是困难的，那就展示你对别人及其需要的理解”可知，空处应该会与空前一句形成转折，呼应主旨句，因此G项符合语境。 18.F　本段的主旨句表述了“设置你的优先事项”，再根据空后一句表述的“那帮助你选择对什么能说‘好’，什么需要拒绝”可知，空处讲的应与“为自己设置一个有优先级的事件表”有关，所以F项符合语境。 19.B　通读本段可知，本段主要讲“要说出自己的喜好”，故B项适合作本段的主旨句。 20.C　空前一句讲“照顾自己和自己的身体并不是自私”，而空后一句表述了“要拥有健康饮食，有规律地锻炼，并做一些让自己的身体感觉良好的事情”，所以C项“每天为自己的健康抽出一些时间”符合语境。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
