The list of brain conditions that have been associated with changes elsewhere in the body is long and growing.Changes in the make-up of the microorganisms in the digestive system have been linked to disorders such as Parkinson's disease.There is also a theory that infection during pregnancy (could lead to brain diseases in babies. The effect is two-way.There is a lengthening list of symptoms not typically viewed as disorders of the nervous system,but the brain plays a large part in them.For example,the development of a fever is influenced by a population of nerve cells that control body temperature and appetite.Evidence is mounting that cancers use nerves to grow and spread. The interconnection between brain and body has promising implications for our ability to both understand and treat illnesses.If some brain disorders start outside the brain,then perhaps treatments for themoueach infrom outside.Treatments that take efect through the digestive system,the heart therons would be much easier and less risky than those that must os the blood-brain baier. tsworks in the oppositedirection.Study shows mice have healthier heartsafter ein imulaion toa brainarea inolved in positive motion and motivation.Activation ofthe brain eward centrecalled the ventral tegmental area (VTA)seems to cause immune changes that cobuetot Working ou how this happens cou help to destroy cancers,ehance responses to vaccines(and vrevaluate physical diseases that for cres haveo been cndereds being psyhologiclly driven. 28.What do the researchers focus on about the brain?

Erik Katovich,an economist at the University of Geneva,made use of the Christmas Bird Count,a citizen-science project run by the National Audubon Society.Volunteers count birds they spot over Christmas,and the society gathers the numbers.He assumed,reasonably,that if wind turbines harmed bird populations,the numbers seen in the Christmas Bird Count would drop in places where new turbines had been built.Combining bird population and species maps with the locations and construction dates of all wind turbines,he found building turbines had no noticeable effect on bird populations. Instead of limiting his analysis to wind power alone,he also examined oil-and-gas extraction () which has boomed in America over the past couple of decades.Comparing bird populations to the locations of new gas wells revealed an average 15%drop in bird numbers when new wells were drilled, probably due toa combination of noise,air pollution and the disturbance of rivers and ponds that many birds rely upon.When drilling happened in migration centers,feeding grounds or breeding locations,bird numbers instead dropped by 25%. Wind power,in other words,not only produces far less planet-heating carbon dioxide than do fossil fuels,it appears to be significantly less damaging to wildlife,too.Yet that is not the impression you would get from reading the news.Dr Katovich found 173 stories in major American news media reporting the supposed negative effects that wind turbines had on birds in 2020,compared with only 46 stories discussing the effects of oil-and-gas wells 32.What does the underlined word"negligible"in paragraph I mean? A.Insignificant. B.Inaccurate. C.Inconsistent. D.Indefinite 33.What is Dr Katovich's conclusion based on? A.Previous studies. B.Relevant data. C.Reasonable prediction. D.Experiment results. 高三英语第4页共8页 34.What message does paragraph 3 mainly try to convey? A.Oil-and-gas extraction has expanded in America. B.Birds are heavily dependent on rivers and ponds. C.Many factors lead to the decline of bird populations. D.Well drilling poses a serious threat to birds'survival. 35.Which of the following may Dr Katovich agree with? A.Wind power will be replaced for fossil fuels. B.Wind turbines deserve wider media coverage. C.Wind turbines could share the sky with wildlife. D.More evidence is needed to confirm the finding. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项， When we are faced with a crisis,or if we have an important decision to make,many of us fall into the trap of over-thinking.We may keep thinking about something constantly and too long.36How can we stop ourselves from over-thinking? Doing something to distract yourself is a good idea.You can find working with your hands is especially good. 37 Your brain simply doesn't have the resources to split itself into a third activity,for example over-thinking. 38 Studies have shown that when someone views something in excitement and anxiety,the brain is forced to become stuck in the present because all of your senses are completely engaged.You do not have time to focus on something different,which can cause over-thinking. Constant wishing.hoping and praying do not give you any relief.They just keep you stuck in one place.But taking the smallest stepof the crisis really matters.Itwill set things in motion,making you like a snowball.39 The traps are things that cause your natural ability toreact without you realizing that there isa connection between the two.Thus,avoiding relevant traps is also a good idea.40For exampe if one of your colleaues is so negative that she always drags you down,stop hanging out with her by having lunch alone at a nearby restaurant. A.This mindset tends to ruin our day. B.Put simply,out of sight,out of mind. C.Just as a saying goes,once bitten,twice shy D.You are really getting your brain working for you. E.Other activities are the ones that arouse your curiosity. F.It engages your movement skills and thinking process. G.Thus,you will gradually move yourself out of the feeling. 高三英语第5页并8页 第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C,D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选 项。 Tobias.a 35-year-old Belgian musician,has become popular on social media for his excellent grasp of the Shanghai dialect.He has been sharing his everyday experiences,which he41 in Shanghai dialect,on video-sharing and lifestyle 42 Douyin and Xiaohongshu,winning thousands of followers and millions of 43.

A gentleman stood behind me with three items in his hands.He looked up at his watch,then at me and smiled.I'd already let a person ahead of me with a single item.While my daughter was behaving well. Iknew I'd pushed her longer than her endurance promised to last.Still,I felt for the man:He obviously had to be somewhere.and he'd be behind me a good long time. "Why don't you go ahead of me?"I said shifting the cart backwards."You only have a couple of items. "Thank you,"he replied appreciatively,stepping ahead of me. My daughter gave him a broad smile."Heh wo,"she said in her sweetest voice. "Hello,"he replied,taken off guard by her friendliness.His face lit with pleasure. As the belt moved forward,I started unloading my cart.I was only halfway finished unloading the first cart when a realization hit me.My husband had borrowed my bank card the night before and he hadn't returned it.My heart dropped. The gentleman in front of me had paid and was picking up his groceries. "I've forgotten my bank card.Could I pay with my phone?"I asked the cashier hopefully. "I'm sorry.We only accept credit card or cash."The cashier looked at the amount of groceries impatiently.I'm sure she was predicting she'd have to put items back on the shelves. "It will take me two hours to run home and back.Can you just put my stuff on the side please?"I was discouraged.All my careful planning hadn't helped.The hour and a half of shopping left me tired out and I wasn't sure how my daughter would handle another two hours in the car. 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 Just then,the gentleman in front of me smiled at me.
