Identical twins Kathy and Sophie arrived at college last year and determined to strike out on independent paths,so they had requested rooms in different dorms.While Kathy got along with her roommate,Sophie was miserable.She and her roommate silently warred over matters ranging from when the lights should be turned off to how the furniture should be arranged.Finally,they divided the room in two and gave up on oral communication.During this time,Sophie kept seeking comfort from Kathy.Before long,the two wanted to live together again.Sophie’s roommate eventually agreed to move out.
Sophie’s ability to solve her dilemma by rooming with her identical twin is unusual,but the conflict she faced is not.Most roommate conflicts spring from such small,annoying differences rather than from grand disagreements over abstract principles.One person likes quiet,while the other person spends two hours a day practicing the trumpet.One eats only organically(有机地) produced vegetables and loves animals,while the other likes wearing fur and enjoys cutting up frogs in biology class.
When personalities don’t mix,the excitement of being away at college can quickly fade away.Moreover,roommates can affect each other’s psychological health.A recent study reports that depression in college roommates is often passed from one person to another.
Many schools have started conflict resolution programs to calm tensions that otherwise can build up like a volcano preparing to explode,finally resulting in physical violence.Some colleges have resorted to “roommate contracts” that all new students fill out and sign after attending a lecture on roommate relations.Students detail behavioral guidelines for their room,including acceptable hours for study and sleep,a policy for use of each other’s possessions.Some schools try to head off the feud before it begins by using computerized matching.Students are put together on the basis of their responses to housing form questions.

9.What is the cause of most conflicts among roommates?
A.They have opposite mindsets.
B.They argue over serious matters.
C.They differ greatly in life values.
D.They hold different preferences in some way.
答案 D

10.What does the underlined word “feud” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Difference. B.Quarrel.
C.Competition. D.Test.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知,一些学校通过使用计算机配对的手段试图阻止一些冲突和争吵,所以画线单词feud为“冲突,争吵”的意思,与B项Quarrel“争吵”意思一致。故选B项。

A.Identical twins lived together again finally in college.
B.Roommate conflicts are common and some ways to avoid them in college.

(2023·江苏盐城高一期末)
Washington,DC—In a press conference today,the National Gallery of Art will share groundbreaking new findings about Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) to be explored in the exhibition of Vermeer’s Secrets,opening on October 8,2022.
These findings led a team of professors and scientists working together to determine that the painting Girl with a Flute was made by a partner of Vermeer—not by the Dutch artist himself,as was previously believed.
This challenges the long-held belief that he was alone genius and,instead,assumes him as an instructor to the next generation of artists.In part because Vermeer’s collection of works contains only about 35 accepted paintings,professors have generally considered it unlikely that he had students or partners.With no surviving documents to provide evidence of a workshop,it was believed that he must have worked alone.
The existence of other artists working with Johannes Vermeer is perhaps one of the most significant new findings about the artist to be discovered in decades.It changes thoroughly the popular understanding of Vermeer,building on decades of research and using advanced scientific technology to expose exciting discoveries that add new knowledge to the secret artist.“I am unbelievably proud of the team of National Gallery staff who worked together to study these paintings,” said Kay win Feldman,director of the National Gallery of Art.
On view through January 8,2023,Vermeer’s Secrets offers audiences a behind-the-scenes look at how National Gallery professors and scientists studied the museum’s four treasured paintings—as well as two 20th-century fake(假的) copies—to understand “what makes a Vermeer a Vermeer”.
Research also led scientists to determine that Vermeer’s Girl with the Red Hat was made at a turning point in the artist’s career.They recognized Girl with the Red Hat as a key work that points to Vermeer’s late style.
语篇解读 这是一篇新闻报道。一个由教授和科学家组成的团队共同确定,《长笛女孩》这幅画是维米尔的一位合伙人创作的,而不是之前认为的这位荷兰艺术家本人创作的,文章对此作了简要介绍。
12.What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.That a workmate of Vermeer worked on Girl with a Flute.
B.That a team of devoted professors and scientists worked together.
C.That Vermeer was alone instructor to the next generation of artists.
D.That there is no surviving evidence of Vermeer owning a workshop.
答案 A
解析 代词指代题。根据第二段“...the painting Girl with a Flute was made by a partner of Vermeer—not by the Dutch artist himself,as was previously believed.”可知,第三段的画线词This指的是维米尔的一位合伙人创作的《长笛女孩》,故选A。
13.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The property of the research.
B.The praise from Kay win Feldman.
C.The significance of the new finding.
D.The process of the new research.
答案 C
解析 段落大意题。根据第四段首句以及“I am unbelievably proud of the team of National Gallery staff who worked together to study these paintings”可知,本段主要讲了新发现的重要意义,故选C。
14.Why was the exhibition of Vermeer’s Secrets held?
A.To guide us to enjoy Vermeer’s paintings.
B.To show us alone and familiar painting genius.
C.To offer us a better understanding of Vermeer.
D.To give us an insight into Dutch art of painting.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,《维米尔的秘密》的展览将持续到2023年1月8日,让观众了解国家美术馆的教授和科学家如何研究博物馆的四幅珍贵画作以及两幅20世纪的赝品,并了解“是什么让维米尔成为维米尔”。故举办《维米尔的秘密》展览的原因是要让我们更好地了解维米尔,故选C。
15.What will the author most probably talk about next?
A.What effects the new findings have on the previous views.
B.Whether Girl with the Red Hat was created by Vermeer alone.
C.How Girl with the Red Hat is different from Girl with a Flute.
D.Why Girl with the Red Hat marked a turning point in Vermeer’s career.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,研究还使科学家们确定,维米尔的《戴红帽的女孩》是在这位艺术家职业生涯的转折点上创作的,可推理出,研究小组作出了判断,接下来应解释作出该判断的原因,故选D。
Ⅱ.七选五(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。
Whether you’re looking to lose a few pounds,spend more time at the gym or learn a language,turning bad habits into good ones is all about self-control.Some of us have more than others.And research shows that those with more self-control tend to be happier. 1 So we’re constantly having to weigh whether we’d rather wait for the reward or have that chocolate chip cookie right now.
Michael Inzlicht is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and a self-control researcher.He says that the ironic thing about self-control is that those who are really good at it don’t have to practice it. 2 When you love and desire something that tends to be better for you,like studying,working hard or exercising,for example,you don’t have to think about doing it.Inzlicht says that these types of individuals(个体) generally have what’s called “trait self-control” meaning it’s an aspect of their personality.
3 A wide body of research shows that you can improve self-control for a particular behavior you want to change or a habit you’d like to develop.For example,Inzlicht says that when we get paid to make life changes,we’re more likely to make them.Some gyms will charge you a certain amount of money for a year-long membership and then give you a few cents back every time you come. 4
Another tip for success,says Inzlicht,is setting realistic goals.Part of failing at developing self-control is in getting frustrated(沮丧) with yourself for not changing overnight. 5 If you’re building self-control in losing weight,for instance,don’t try switching to nothing but fruits and vegetables all at once because it’s too dramatic a change—not to mention unsustainable.
A.But it doesn’t mean you can do nothing about it.
B.Frustration will prevent you from sticking to the change.
C.Actually,there is not much to do with self-control improvement.
D.Even a small amount of money can motivate people to work out.
E.They’re keeping the good habits all the time without much effort.
F.Don’t be afraid of frustration for it is necessary for your improvement.
G.But the problem is that we’re usually only rewarded for it in the future.
1.答案 G
解析 空格后一句说明我们必须不断权衡我们是该(加强自控)等待未来的回报还是现在就吃下巧克力碎片饼干,选项G“但问题是,我们通常只会在未来才得到回报”和下文之间存在因果关系。G项中rewarded和下文中the reward语义相关,故选G。
2.答案 E
解析 空格前一句说明擅长自我控制的人很容易做到自我控制,选项E“他们毫不费力地一直保持着好习惯”承接上文,说明擅长自我控制的人很容易保持好习惯,E项中的They指代的就是上文中those who are really good at it,故选E。
3.答案 A
解析 上一段最后一句说明这些人有自我控制的特质,选项A“但这并不意味着你对此无能为力”承接上文,转折语义,说明即便你不具备这种品质,也不是没有办法,引出下文“你也可以提高自己的自我控制能力”。故选A。
4.答案 D
解析 空格前一句说明有些健身房会用每次回来给你几分钱的方式吸引你去锻炼,选项D“即使是少量的钱也能激励人们去锻炼”承接上文。D项中Even a small amount of money和上文中a few cents语义相关,故选D。
5.答案 B
解析 空格前一句说明导致自我控制失败的部分原因是对自己没在一夜之间改变而感到沮丧,选项B“沮丧会阻止你坚持改变”承接上文。B项中的Frustration与上文的frustrated是同根词复现,故选B。
