It was the first time she had put her theoretical skills into practice, examining pieces of jew found in the ruins and using her knowledge of designs, materials and the industry to prov investigators with leads. "Being a forensic jewcler is not really a job that actually exists." Dr. Maclennan, 35, said durin recent interview at her office in Edinburgh."In some ways, it's something I've made up and am s making up as I go." Since then she has helped identify the victims of many catastrophes, includi building collapses, natural disasters and a terrorist attack. And while the situations can miserable-sometimes, she said, the jewelry was all but fused (熔合) into human remains-she 上 approached the job as a professional: "You're wearing your forensic gloves and it's all very methodi and detached (不带感情的) from the person, the human being." But there is a part of the process that she finds emotionally difficult. "It's at the end, the returnit when you give the belongings back to the family, which really strikes me." she said. "You look at: piece as a sort of a representation of the individual. Especially, I think, in the absence of the hum body." Dr. Maclennan now is a member of a disaster victim identification team for Blake Emerger Services, based in Cheshire, England. "Maria is the only one who does what she does," said Car Davenport, the archaeology manager at Blake. "She's at the forefront of a field that she invented. took the skills she learned as a jeweler and she applied this to the forensics world. Jewelry can particular to areas, and there are certain unique things about jewelry that can help you almost read life of a person. That's what Maria does." 24. What did Maclennan apply her jewelry knowledge to A. Furthering her doctoral studies B. Designing custom-made jewelry C. Recognizing the identities of victims D. Reforming forensic jewelry industry 高三英语 第4页 共12页 25. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. What Maclennan does as a forensic jeweler B. When forensic jewelry came into existence. C. Why Maclennan chose to be a forensic jeweler D. How forensic jewelers are viewed by the public 26. How does Maclennan feel while retuming victims' belongings? A. She is hardly affected as it is a routine for her B. She feels sorry for what she has done to the victims C. She is relieved that the process brings comfort to the families D. She feels sad as she has deep empathy for the victims' families 27. How does Davenport describe Maclennan in the last paragraph? A. Firm and ambitious B. Innovative and competent C. Intelligent and generous D. Sensitive and responsible C We all notice bright colors. People who choose to go eye-catching, whether they expres themselves through clothes or accessories (配饰), hear everything from "No one is going to miss you a the party" to "I would never have the courage to wear that." But according to research, those comments may be both accurate and expected Adam D. Pazda and Christopher A. Thorstenson (2o19) examined how we perceive people at firs impression who wear bright colors. They specifically examined the effect of chroma (色度) They found that targets, both male and female, who were wearing or surrounded by high-chrorn: colors were perceived as more open and outgoing than in a low-chroma setting. They concluded tha chroma is a variable of perception that can influence first impressions of personality Drilling down further, they found that high-chroma colors strengthened viewer perspective o openness and extraversion (外向), but not other personalities. These observations are important becaus some job responsibilities capitalize on some of the personalities inferred through bright colors Pazda and Thorstenson recognize what job seekers no doubt consider as they look for a career t match their personal nature: in some occupations, success is fueled by possessing certain personalit qualities. They give examples of industries such as sales and marketing as well as customer service a fields where extraverts thrive (繁荣). Accordingly, applicants for these positions may be viewed mo favorably and judged as more competent if they wear highly chromatic clothing Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the limitations 高三英语 第5页 共12页 their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which mcans their findings may no predict results in other cultures. Thcy note the possibility that chroma may influence the perception of personality differently in non-Westerm countries, and that high-chroma clothing may be perceived as at odds with social norms in other cultures The practical takeaway, at least in the United States, appears to be that bright colors, like the peacock's tail, will get you noticed. But depending on your goals, consider tailoring your chroma to the circumstances, personally and professionally 28. What is the focus of the study mentioned in the passage? A. The cultural implications of high chroma colors B. The influence of clothing on viewer perceptions C. The connection between clothing and job suitability D. The impact of high chroma colors on first impression 29. What does the underlined phrase "capitalize on" in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Drawon. B.Approve of. C. Subscribe to. D. Dig up. 30. Which might be a limitation of the study A. The culturally specific findings B. The unmonitored research process C. The outdated data analysis methods D. The relatively insufficient theoretical basis 31. What is the practical advice given by the author in the last paragraph A. Reserve bright colors for social events B. Always wear bright colors to be noticed C. Avoid bright colors in professional settings D. Use bright colors strategically based on your goals D ln recent decades, experiments have begun to catch up with what people who work closely with animals have always known-that animals have an inner life, and consciousness isn't uniquely human Consciousness is a concept that is extremely difficult to define. There have been many attempts: is it awareness, or awareness of that awareness, or self-awareness instead? But a useful working definitior might be that it is any kind of subjective experience, ranging from how we perceive the external world to our inner thoughts and emotions. Because you can never be inside another living being's head questions of consciousness are both hard to answer and open to bias (偏见) 高三英语 第6页 共12页 Findings of experiments inspired a group of scientists in April to write Tle New York Declarg on Animal Consciousness, which now has over 3oo supporters. It states that there is "strong scien support for conscious experience" in mammals and birds and "at least a realistic possibility of consci experience" in fish and othcr specics. That animals have some form of inner life must surely be self-evident to many people who liv. work with them, just as I would guess that most carers of newborn babies don't see these infant senseless automatic machines. The experiences of people with thorough knowledge of cither h historically, been viewed as subjective and biased, as emotional connection tends to influence log reasoning. Our consciousness leads us to over-empathize with others we cannot truly know, argument goes. But, as the biologist Marc Bekoff wrote, if we humans have something, then other animals are lil to have it too. I personally fecl that attempts to divorce emotion, feeling and experience from how see animals can be as unscientific. For too long, we assumed that humans are unique and animals d feel pain or emotions the way that we do,'a convenient but cruel null hypothesis (无效假设), wher could have started from the position that perhaps they do instead 32. Which is a key characteristic of consciousness according to the passage? A. It means any emotional experience of humans B. It refers to individual's subjective experience C. It is all about how we perceive the external world D. It refers to a common quality shared by all animals. 33. Why are the carers of newborn babies mentioned? A. To show that animals are just as conscious as human babies B. To help readers understand why animals possess consciousness C. To argue against the view of people living or working with animals D. To explain why animal carers would assume animals have an inner life 34. What might be the author's attitude towards Marc Bekoff's assumption about animal emotions? A. Doubtful. C. Supportive. B. Objective. D.Uncertain. 35. Which can be the best title of the passage? A. Consciousness Improved Through Practice B. Ouestions of Human Consciousness Answered C. Factors A ffecting Animal Consciousness Discovered D. Conscious Experience Found in Certain Animal Species 高三英语 第7页 共12页 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。 How many times have you shrunk yourself because you fear bcing judged? There is a term in social psychology called the 'spotlight effect'. 36 The reality is that everyone is so concerned about their own life that they rarely spend much time thinking about ours I have a folder in my laptop where I keep encouraging messages for myself. I want to share one I come back to often: Don't let others stand in the way of your success. 37 These people are everywhere, and thcy may feel impactful in the present moment, but they will not matter soon enough as you progress in your journey. This is your life so stop letting other people decide it for you 38 We tell ourselves "I can't do this" or "l am not good enough" or "there is too much competition". I think it's a sign of courage and confidence to go for something that is scary, uncertain and difficult. So, If your heart is set on doing something that you truly believe in-go for it. If it doesn't work, at least you tried. Find the strength to really believe that you belong in every room you walk into What you have to say is just as important as anyone else in that room. Most importantly, remind yourself that confidence doesn't happen in leaps. 39 . Consciously do the work every day until you truly believe that you belong in every room you walk into Do the same for yourself as you do for others-reflect on your best qualities, celebrate your strengths, make yourself laugh, treat yourself to things, nurture your own happiness. 40 Just remember to serve yourself from time to time the same way you serve others.

If you're not ready to step out, it's fine. D. A lot of us tend to play it safe because we fear failing E. Your positive light helps those around you feel cared for F.
