Looking for a solution, I bought my first self-help book, which promised I could be healed (治愈) of anything if I got rid of my limiting beliefs. I finished it in days, and found even though I was still the same depressed, broke, single mother, I was fascinated. Over the next 15 years, I bought hundreds of self-help books, courses, and apps, and followed every self-styled personal improvement adviser on social media, hoping to find happiness, confidence, and love. Some advice was gentle and obvious: “Talk kindly to yourself; get enough sleep.” Others were dangerous, encouraging me to spend more money than I could afford to show wealth or to ignore my health problems to feel healthy. After my father’s death in 2022, my dependency grew stronger. I spent a large amount of time reading about how to grieve (哀悼) and get through the pain, but not doing the things that would actually make me feel better: sitting with my feelings, allowing myself to cry, and processing the loss. Although I followed the guidance, nothing improved. I couldn’t help but feel that not achieving results was my personal failing, rather than the industry’s broken promises. Gradually, I realized that instead of helping me, the advice was making me feel worse. And a deep conversation with a loved one made me recognize that in trying to change my life, I was attempting to change aspects of myself that were out of my control. Instead of focusing on who I wanted to become, I knew I had to quit self-help to learn and accept who I really was. Since quitting self-help, I’ve realized that focusing all your energy on self-improvement can drain (消耗) the joy out of life. It makes happiness conditional: only when I have got to a certain stage can I feel contentment; only when I look that way can I be loved. It can also stop you from unconditionally accepting your imperfectly perfect self. After a long time, I finally understand that perhaps I never needed fixing at all. 4. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph? A. Why the self-help book failed to work for her. B. Why she turned to self-help books in her mid-20s. C. How she got inspiration from self-help books. D. How the self-help book saved her from depression. 5. What did the author think of self-help books at last? A. Beneficial. B. Ineffective. C. Unreasonable. D. Insightful. 6. What change did the author make in the end? A. She sought medical treatment. B. She tried new self-help methods. C. She began to accept her true self. D. She followed more advisers. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. You can Always Find Advice in Self-help Books. B You can’t Just Read Self-help Books but not Practice. C. You should Find the Right Self-help Book for Yourself. D. You don’t Need Self-help Books to be Better. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者与自助书籍的“纠葛”经历，从最初的依赖到最终的摒弃，并认识到无需通过自助书籍来完善自己，接受真实的自我才是最重要的。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In my mid-20s, I found myself in one of the most terrible relationships of my life. Looking for a solution, I bought my first self-help book.(在我25岁多的时候，我发现自己陷入了人生中最糟糕的一段关系。为了寻找解决办法，我买了我的第一本自助书。)”可知，作者在二十多岁时求助于自助书籍是因为她陷入了人生中最糟糕的一段关系，想从中寻找解决办法。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Gradually, I realized that instead of helping me, the advice was making me feel worse. (渐渐地，我意识到这些建议非但没有帮助我，反而让我感觉更糟了。)”及最后一段“After a long time, I finally understand that perhaps I never needed fixing at all. (过了很长一段时间，我终于明白，也许我根本就不需要被修复。)”可推知，作者最后认为自助书籍是无效的。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Instead of focusing on who I wanted to become, I knew I had to quit self-help to learn and accept who I really was. (我知道我必须放弃自我帮助，去了解和接受真实的自己，而不是专注于我想成为的人)”可知，作者最终开始接受真实的自己。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段中的“Since quitting self-help, I’ve realized that focusing all your energy on self-improvement can drain the joy out of life. It can also stop you from unconditionally accepting your imperfectly perfect self. After a long time, I finally understand that perhaps I never needed fixing at all(自从放弃自我提升（类书籍/理念）后，我意识到，把所有精力都放在自我完善上，反而会剥夺生活中的乐趣。它还可能阻碍你无条件地接受自己那并不完美却又独一无二的自我。过了很长时间，我终于明白，也许我根本就不需要被修复。)”可知，作者通过自己的亲身经历，意识到把所有的精力都放在通过自助书籍来自我提升上会耗尽生活中的乐趣，也会阻止自己无条件地接受不完美的自己，最后她终于明白，也许自己根本不需要被修复，由此可知，D项“你不需要自助书籍来变得更好”最符合文章主旨，最适合作为本文标题，故选D。 C When geneticist Elizabeth Clare placed 70 small filters (过滤器) around England’s Hamerton Zoo Park last year, she intended for the traps to collect DNA from the sky. What she didn’t know, however, was that led by Kristine Bohmann, another team was conducting a similar experiment in the Copenhagen Zoo. Wild animals are usually studied indirectly through clues that they leave behind, like fur, feathers or waste. That means certain animals - especially the small, fast and shy ones - are often missed in traditional wildlife surveys. Because all living organisms shed DNA into the air of the environment they live in, the two research groups hoped they could use those genetic traces, called eDNA, to find out what animals frequent an area. One of the biggest challenges of working with airborne eDNA is avoiding contamination (污染) from other sources, which could muddle (弄乱) results.“The zoo becomes this perfect environment where we know everything that we’re detecting has only one possible source,” says Clare. “My lab doesn’t handle tiger DNA ever, so if we’re detecting a tiger, there is no other source.” To see if eDNA could be detected in the air, both teams placed filters in different zoo enclosures, including both indoor and outdoor exhibits. Bohmann’s group collected 40 air samples in three locations around the Copenhagen Zoo. They also tested three different air sampling devices. Clare’s group took a similar approach but instead used just one type of air pump. Though both groups were optimistic that their idea could work, they were still shocked at their results. In the 40 samples that Bohmann’s group collected, they successfully found 49 species including mammals, birds, reptiles and fish. “We had no idea that this would actually work so well,” says Bohmann. Clare’s team also identified DNA from more than two dozen different species of animals from their samples, including tigers, lemurs and dingoes. “It’s really exciting looking at how both of these papers have produced the same results,” says Mark Johnson, who studies eDNA at Texas Tech University. While hopeful about the future of airborne eDNA, Johnson notes huge leaps need to be made before the techniques used in the zoo can be applied in the field. Collecting eDNA in the wild adds a host of new variables. “The next step is to take it from the zoo into the natural environment and see what we find there,” says Johnson. 8. What did the two teams of scientists try to do? A. To study zoo animals’ DNA in detail. B. To detect animals from DNA in the air. C. To improve zoo environments for animals. D. To compare DNAs of different zoo animals. 9. Why did the scientists choose the zoo for their study? A. Because the air there was much cleaner. B. Because there were many useful resources in it. C. Because they expected to find a tiger DNA there. D. Because it could ensure the accuracy of the results. 10. What can we learn about the two groups’ findings? A. They needed to be further proved. B. They depended greatly on the devices. C. They were far beyond the scientists’ expectations. D. They failed to support the scientists’ idea about eDNA. 11. What’s Mark Johnson’s attitude towards the future of eDNA? A. Cautiously optimistic. B. Mildly doubtful. C. Somewhat opposed. D. Completely supportive. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了两组科学家用空气eDNA检测动物的研究。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Because all living organisms shed DNA into the air of the environment they live in, the two research groups hoped they could use those genetic traces, called eDNA, to find out what animals frequent an area. (由于所有生物都会将DNA释放到它们生活的环境空气中，这两个研究小组希望他们可以利用这些被称为环境DNA (eDNA)的遗传痕迹来查明哪些动物频繁出现在某个区域。)”可知，两个研究小组希望利用这些被称为eDNA的遗传痕迹来弄清楚哪些动物经常出没于某个区域，也就是从空气中的DNA检测动物。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“One of the biggest challenges of working with airborne eDNA is avoiding contamination (污染) from other sources, which could muddle (弄乱) results.“The zoo becomes this perfect environment where we know everything that we’re detecting has only one possible source,” says Clare. (处理空气中的eDNA最大的挑战之一是避免来自其他来源的污染，这可能会混淆结果。“动物园成为这样一个完美的环境，在这里我们知道我们检测到的一切只有一个可能的来源”，Clare说。)” 可知，在动物园里检测到的一切都只有一个可能的来源，能确保结果的准确性。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Though both groups were optimistic that their idea could work, they were still shocked at their results. In the 40 samples that Bohmann’s group collected, they successfully found 49 species including mammals, birds, reptiles and fish. “We had no idea that this would actually work so well,” says Bohmann. (尽管两个小组都对其想法能够奏效持乐观态度，但他们的结果仍然让他们感到震惊。在Bohmann小组收集的40个样本中，他们成功地找到了49个物种，包括哺乳动物、鸟类、爬行动物和鱼类。“我们完全没想到这会如此成功”，Bohmann说。)” 可知，结果远远超出了科学家的预期。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““It’s really exciting looking at how both of these papers have produced the same results,” says Mark Johnson, who studies eDNA at Texas Tech University. While hopeful about the future of airborne eDNA, Johnson notes huge leaps need to be made before the techniques used in the zoo can be applied in the field. Collecting eDNA in the wild adds a host of new variables. “The next step is to take it from the zoo into the natural environment and see what we find there,” says Johnson. (“看到这两篇论文如何产生了相同的结果真是令人兴奋”，德克萨斯理工大学研究eDNA的Mark Johnson说。虽然对未来空气中的eDNA充满希望，Johnson指出，在将动物园中使用的技术应用于野外之前，还需要做出巨大的飞跃。在野外收集eDNA增加了一系列新的变量。“下一步是从动物园转移到自然环境中去看看我们能找到什么”，Johnson说。)” 可知，Mark Johnson看到结果很兴奋，但认为这项技术仍需要巨大飞跃，说明他的态度是谨慎乐观的。故选A。 D There’s an inner desire amongst most people to explore our planet. There’s this sense in modern society that somehow we will find a better existence or we’ll find happiness by going on holiday. I think we’ve almost been conditioned to become tourists, to the extent that a lot of people engage in tourism without actually considering why they’re doing so. There are plenty of people who will go to the same place every year, because they’re comfortable and familiar with it. People are experiencing less and less the places they are at. They might be there in body, but not necessarily in mind, because a lot of people are constantly thinking: “How am I going to present myself to my social media group back home through my posts on Facebook or Instagram?” But this is just one side of the problem. On the other side, our travel has taken a toll on the environment. It is reported that the carbon emissions from air travel accounted for 2.5% of global emissions in 2019, and this figure may be three times by 2050. I admit that there has been a considerable increase in people’s awareness about the environment. And some people say that this can eventually lead to a shift in our behavior as tourists. However, I can’t share their optimism. A lot of research has been done into the extent to which tourists are willing to adapt their behavior. And even those people who regularly consume or behave in an environmentally friendly fashion actually temporarily forget their environmental commitments, and behave like normal tourists. They do suffer some kind of eco-guilt, but nevertheless they continue to travel, and they continue to fly. I’m old enough to remember when tourism was just the summer holiday, and you would look forward to those two weeks a year when you would go on holiday. It was special and meaningful, but nowadays it is so easy to travel. Travel is now seen as a right, not as a privilege. However, to some extent, I hope there will be a significant rise in the cost of travel, or at least in air travel. In my opinion, only in this way can people realize the value of travel experience and really enjoy it. Also, only in this way can many problems arising with the development of tourism be properly solved. 12. What is the problem with most tourists according to the author? A. They don’t care about our planet at all. B. They post too many photos on social media. C They can hardly find the right place to explore. D. They fail to have a meaningful traveling experience. 13. What does the underlined part “taken a toll on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Improved. B. Damaged. C. Saved. D. Shaped. 14. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A. Tourists can hardly be affected by environmental awareness. B. Tourists are unaware of the effect of their behavior. C. Tourists’ environmental awareness has been increased. D. Tourists find it hard to travel without harming the environment. 15. Why does the author hope airline tickets will be more expensive? A. To limit the development of tourism. B. To create a sense of equality in society. C. To help people value their traveling experience. D. To make people less excited about travelling. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出现在很多游客旅游缺乏有意义的体验，且旅游对环境造成破坏，即便游客有环保意识也难改变行为，作者希望提高旅行成本来解决问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I think we’ve almost been conditioned to become tourists, to the extent that a lot of people engage in tourism without actually considering why they’re doing so.(我认为我们几乎已经习惯于成为游客，以至于很多人去旅游，却没有真正考虑他们为什么要这样做)”和第二段中“There are plenty of people who will go to the same place every year, because they’re comfortable and familiar with it. People are experiencing less and less the places they are at. They might be there in body, but not necessarily in mind(有很多人每年都会去同一个地方，因为他们对那里感到舒适和熟悉。人们对所处之地的体验越来越少。他们可能人在那里，但心不一定在)”可知，作者提到大多数游客的问题是他们只是身体在旅游目的地，却没有用心去感受，即他们无法获得有意义的旅行体验。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。划线短语下文“It is reported that the carbon emissions from air travel accounted for 2.5% of global emissions in 2019, and this figure may be three times by 2050.(据报道，2019年航空旅行的碳排放占全球碳排放的2.5%，到2050年这一数字可能会达到三倍)”说明了旅游对环境产生了不良影响。所以“On the other side, our travel has taken a toll on the environment.(另一方面，我们的旅行taken a toll环境)”中动词短语taken a toll on的意思是“损害”，与B项“Damaged”同义。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“And even those people who regularly consume or behave in an environmentally friendly fashion actually temporarily forget their environmental commitments, and behave like normal tourists. They do suffer some kind of eco guilt, but nevertheless they continue to travel, and they continue to fly.(即使是那些经常以环保方式消费或行事的人，实际上也会暂时忘记他们的环保承诺，表现得像普通游客一样。他们确实会有某种生态负罪感，但尽管如此，他们还是继续旅行，继续坐飞机)”可知，尽管一些游客有环保意识，但很难改变自己的旅游行为，说明游客很难受到环保意识的影响。故选A项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, to some extent, I hope there will be a significant rise in the cost of travel, or at least in air travel. In my opinion, only in this way can people realize the value of travel experience and really enjoy it.(然而，在某种程度上，我希望旅行成本，至少是航空旅行成本会大幅上升。在我看来，只有这样，人们才能意识到旅行体验的价值并真正享受它)”可知，作者希望机票更贵是因为他希望通过增加旅行成本的方式来帮助人们重视他们的旅行体验。故选C项。 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。 In modern society, many retired people are lonely and lack life purpose while many young people have their own problems. ___16___ Or they may wish to live independently but be unable to pay the high rents in their area. ___17___ It involves bringing older and younger people together to support each other. After all, old people represent a huge unused resource: they include retired engineers, doctors, teachers and business people with years of experience. ___18___ In some projects, retired people help out in primary schools, to hear children read and offer them individual support. Similar projects are run in secondary schools and even universities. Other projects involve sending children and teenagers into old people’s homes on a regular basis to teach them “digital skills”, to entertain them or simply befriend them and listen to their stories and advice. ___19___ The students can either live rent-free in exchange for household chores (家务杂活) and support for the homeowner, or they can pay a reduced rent in exchange for chatting with the older person regularly and keeping an eye on their health and well-being. Intergenerational volunteering projects have had a truly significant impact on both sides. By bringing together people of different generations and socioeconomic backgrounds, they have built trust, respect and friendship. ___20___ A. These are important for the structure of society. B. Studies have shown that retired people can still contribute to society. C. Intergenerational volunteering can provide a solution to these problems. D. Volunteering may even help young people discover a new interest or passion for life. E. They may face the challenge of finding a job without work experience or practical skills. F. Elsewhere, there are projects that match university students with wealthy elderly people who have spare rooms. G. Young people, too, have valuable skills to share, most obviously their up-to-date knowledge of technology. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. G 19. F 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了代际志愿服务的目标以及优点。 【16题详解】 根据上文“In modern society, many retired people are lonely and lack life purpose while many young people have their own problems.(在现代社会，许多退休的人孤独，缺乏生活目标，而许多年轻人有自己的问题)”可知，本句承接上文，说明年轻人所遇到的问题，E选项中They指代上文young people。故E选项“他们可能面临找一份没有工作经验或实际技能的工作的挑战”符合语境，故选E。 【17题详解】 根据后文“It involves bringing older and younger people together to support each other. After all, old people represent a huge unused resource: they include retired engineers, doctors, teachers and business people with years of experience.(它包括把老年人和年轻人聚集在一起互相支持。毕竟，老年人代表着巨大的未使用资源：他们包括退休的工程师、医生、教师和有多年经验的商界人士)”可知，本段主要介绍了一个解决问题的方案所包含的内容，以及这种解决方案背后的优势所在。故C选项“代际志愿服务可以为这些问题提供解决方案”符合语境，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“It involves bringing older and younger people together to support each other. After all, old people represent a huge unused resource: they include retired engineers, doctors, teachers and business people with years of experience.(它包括把老年人和年轻人聚集在一起互相支持。毕竟，老年人代表着巨大的未使用资源：他们包括退休的工程师、医生、教师和有多年经验的商界人士)”可知，上文提到了把老年人和年轻人聚集在一起，且分析了老年人的优势，推测本句是在分析年轻人的优势。故G选项“年轻人也有宝贵的技能可以分享，最明显的是他们最新的技术知识”符合语境，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据后文“The students can either live rent-free in exchange for household chores (家务杂活) and support for the homeowner, or they can pay a reduced rent in exchange for chatting with the older person regularly and keeping an eye on their health and well-being.(学生们可以选择免房租的生活，以换取家务和对房主的支持，或者他们可以减少租金，以换取定期与老人聊天并关注他们的健康和福祉)”可知，后文提到了学生通过和老人聊天来换取免房租的生活，即将大学生和有房子的老人配在一起。故F选项“在其他地方，有一些项目将大学生与有空房的富有老人配对”符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Intergenerational volunteering projects have had a truly significant impact on both sides. By bringing together people of different generations and socioeconomic backgrounds, they have built trust, respect and friendship.(代际志愿服务项目对双方都产生了重大影响。通过将不同世代和不同社会经济背景的人聚集在一起，他们建立了信任、尊重和友谊)”可知，上文提到代际志愿服务项目把不同世代和不同社会经济背景的人聚集在一起，本句为最后一段，说明这一优点所产生的影响，A选项中These指代上文they have built trust, respect and friendship，故A选项“这些对社会结构很重要”符合语境，故选A。 第三部分 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Roger Bannister, born in Harrow, London, early showed a talent for running.

A little boy had the job of coming to school early each day to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and classmates arrived. One morning they arrived to find the schoolhouse in flames. They dragged the unconscious little boy out of the burning building more dead than alive. He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was taken to the nearby county hospital. From his bed the terribly burned, semi-conscious little boy faintly heard the doctor talking to his mother. The doctor told his mother that her son would possibly die for the terrible fire had damaged the lower half of his body. But the brave boy didn’t want to die. He made up his mind that he would survive. Somehow, to the amazement of the physician, he did survive. When the mortal (致命的) danger was past, he again heard the doctor and his mother speaking quietly. The mother was told that since the fire had destroyed so much flesh in his legs, he was doomed (注定) to be unable to walk properly with no use at all of his lower limbs. Once more the brave boy made up his mind. He would walk. But unfortunately from the waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just dangled (悬垂) there, all but lifeless. Ultimately he was released from the hospital. Every day his mother would massage his little legs, but there was no feeling, no control, nothing. Yet his determination that he would walk was as strong as ever. When he wasn’t in bed, he was confined (离不开) to a wheelchair. One sunny day his mother wheeled him out into the yard with a fence around its edge to get some fresh air. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 This day, instead of sitting still, he threw himself from the chair. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Using the fence as his support, he raised himself up slowly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 This day, instead of sitting still, he threw himself from the chair. As he hit the ground, a sharp pain shot through his body, but his gaze immediately locked onto the fence at the edge of the yard. His mother rushed to his side, but he waved her away. With great determination, he began to crawl towards the fence. The grass seemed to be an obstacle course, but he persevered. Every inch he moved was a battle against his damaged body. Finally, he reached the fence, his hands grasping the rough wood. Using the fence as his support, he raised himself up slowly. His arms trembled with the effort, but he held on to it tightly. With every ounce of strength he had, he took a shaky step. His mother watched with tears streaming down her face. From that day on, he persisted in training himself and his progress accelerated. Ultimately through his mother’s daily massages, his iron persistence and his great determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, and then to walk by himself. It is the power of determination that makes the impossible possible. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了主人公受伤后，通过自身坚定的意志力和母亲的帮助，从无法站立到最终能够独立行走的故事。面对身体的痛苦与重重困难，他从未放弃，自己从轮椅上扑下来，锻炼行走，最终实现了看似不可能的目标。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这一天，他没有选择静坐不动，而是从椅子上猛地扑倒在地。”结合第二段段首可知，第一段可描写男孩扑倒在地后爬向围栏。 ②由第二段首句内容“他利用围栏作为支撑，慢慢地站了起来。”可知，第二段可描写男孩坚持训练直至能行走。 2.续写线索：静坐到扑倒——爬向围栏——起身站立——坚持训练——收获成功 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：begin/start ②训练：train/ exercise/ practice ③走路：walk/ stroll/ move forward 情绪类 ①流泪：tears streaming down/ crying/ sobbing ②决心：determination/resolution 【点睛】【高分句型1】As he hit the ground, a sharp pain shot through his body, but his gaze immediately locked onto the fence at the edge of the yard.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】 It is the power of determination that makes the impossible possible.(运用了It is...that...的强调句型) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 南京市2024-2025学年第二学期六校联合体 2月联合调研高三英语试题 (原卷版) 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A If sword (剑) fighting is your thing，come and learn with the current World Broadsword Champion!

B In my mid-20s, I found myself in one of the most terrible relationships of my life. Looking for a solution, I bought my first self-help book, which promised I could be healed (治愈) of anything if I got rid of my limiting beliefs. I finished it in days, and found even though I was still the same depressed, broke, single mother, I was fascinated. Over the next 15 years, I bought hundreds of self-help books, courses, and apps, and followed every self-styled personal improvement adviser on social media, hoping to find happiness, confidence, and love. Some advice was gentle and obvious: “Talk kindly to yourself; get enough sleep.” Others were dangerous, encouraging me to spend more money than I could afford to show wealth or to ignore my health problems to feel healthy. After my father’s death in 2022, my dependency grew stronger. I spent a large amount of time reading about how to grieve (哀悼) and get through the pain, but not doing the things that would actually make me feel better: sitting with my feelings, allowing myself to cry, and processing the loss. Although I followed the guidance, nothing improved. I couldn’t help but feel that not achieving results was my personal failing, rather than the industry’s broken promises. Gradually, I realized that instead of helping me, the advice was making me feel worse. And a deep conversation with a loved one made me recognize that in trying to change my life, I was attempting to change aspects of myself that were out of my control. Instead of focusing on who I wanted to become, I knew I had to quit self-help to learn and accept who I really was. Since quitting self-help, I’ve realized that focusing all your energy on self-improvement can drain (消耗) the joy out of life. It makes happiness conditional: only when I have got to a certain stage can I feel contentment; only when I look that way can I be loved. It can also stop you from unconditionally accepting your imperfectly perfect self. After a long time, I finally understand that perhaps I never needed fixing at all. 4. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph? A. Why the self-help book failed to work for her. B. Why she turned to self-help books in her mid-20s. C. How she got inspiration from self-help books. D. How the self-help book saved her from depression. 5. What did the author think of self-help books at last? A Beneficial. B. Ineffective. C.

You should Find the Right Self-help Book for Yourself. D. You don’t Need Self-help Books to be Better. C When geneticist Elizabeth Clare placed 70 small filters (过滤器) around England’s Hamerton Zoo Park last year, she intended for the traps to collect DNA from the sky. What she didn’t know, however, was that led by Kristine Bohmann, another team was conducting a similar experiment in the Copenhagen Zoo. Wild animals are usually studied indirectly through clues that they leave behind, like fur, feathers or waste. That means certain animals - especially the small, fast and shy ones - are often missed in traditional wildlife surveys. Because all living organisms shed DNA into the air of the environment they live in, the two research groups hoped they could use those genetic traces, called eDNA, to find out what animals frequent an area. One of the biggest challenges of working with airborne eDNA is avoiding contamination (污染) from other sources, which could muddle (弄乱) results.“The zoo becomes this perfect environment where we know everything that we’re detecting has only one possible source,” says Clare. “My lab doesn’t handle tiger DNA ever, so if we’re detecting a tiger, there is no other source.” To see if eDNA could be detected in the air, both teams placed filters in different zoo enclosures, including both indoor and outdoor exhibits. Bohmann’s group collected 40 air samples in three locations around the Copenhagen Zoo. They also tested three different air sampling devices. Clare’s group took a similar approach but instead used just one type of air pump. Though both groups were optimistic that their idea could work, they were still shocked at their results. In the 40 samples that Bohmann’s group collected, they successfully found 49 species including mammals, birds, reptiles and fish. “We had no idea that this would actually work so well,” says Bohmann. Clare’s team also identified DNA from more than two dozen different species of animals from their samples, including tigers, lemurs and dingoes. “It’s really exciting looking at how both of these papers have produced the same results,” says Mark Johnson, who studies eDNA at Texas Tech University. While hopeful about the future of airborne eDNA, Johnson notes huge leaps need to be made before the techniques used in the zoo can be applied in the field. Collecting eDNA in the wild adds a host of new variables. “The next step is to take it from the zoo into the natural environment and see what we find there,” says Johnson. 8. What did the two teams of scientists try to do? A. To study zoo animals’ DNA in detail. B. To detect animals from DNA in the air. C. To improve zoo environments for animals. D. To compare DNAs of different zoo animals. 9. Why did the scientists choose the zoo for their study? A. Because the air there was much cleaner. B. Because there were many useful resources in it. C. Because they expected to find a tiger DNA there. D. Because it could ensure the accuracy of the results. 10. What can we learn about the two groups’ findings? A. They needed to be further proved. B. They depended greatly on the devices. C. They were far beyond the scientists’ expectations. D. They failed to support the scientists’ idea about eDNA. 11. What’s Mark Johnson’s attitude towards the future of eDNA? A. Cautiously optimistic. B. Mildly doubtful. C. Somewhat opposed. D. Completely supportive. D There’s an inner desire amongst most people to explore our planet. There’s this sense in modern society that somehow we will find a better existence or we’ll find happiness by going on holiday. I think we’ve almost been conditioned to become tourists, to the extent that a lot of people engage in tourism without actually considering why they’re doing so. There are plenty of people who will go to the same place every year, because they’re comfortable and familiar with it. People are experiencing less and less the places they are at. They might be there in body, but not necessarily in mind, because a lot of people are constantly thinking: “How am I going to present myself to my social media group back home through my posts on Facebook or Instagram?” But this is just one side of the problem. On the other side, our travel has taken a toll on the environment. It is reported that the carbon emissions from air travel accounted for 2.5% of global emissions in 2019, and this figure may be three times by 2050. I admit that there has been a considerable increase in people’s awareness about the environment. And some people say that this can eventually lead to a shift in our behavior as tourists. However, I can’t share their optimism. A lot of research has been done into the extent to which tourists are willing to adapt their behavior. And even those people who regularly consume or behave in an environmentally friendly fashion actually temporarily forget their environmental commitments, and behave like normal tourists. They do suffer some kind of eco-guilt, but nevertheless they continue to travel, and they continue to fly. I’m old enough to remember when tourism was just the summer holiday, and you would look forward to those two weeks a year when you would go on holiday. It was special and meaningful, but nowadays it is so easy to travel. Travel is now seen as a right, not as a privilege. However, to some extent, I hope there will be a significant rise in the cost of travel, or at least in air travel. In my opinion, only in this way can people realize the value of travel experience and really enjoy it. Also, only in this way can many problems arising with the development of tourism be properly solved. 12. What is the problem with most tourists according to the author? A. They don’t care about our planet at all. B. They post too many photos on social media. C. They can hardly find the right place to explore. D. They fail to have a meaningful traveling experience. 13. What does the underlined part “taken a toll on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Improved. B. Damaged. C. Saved. D. Shaped. 14. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A. Tourists can hardly be affected by environmental awareness. B. Tourists are unaware of the effect of their behavior. C. Tourists’ environmental awareness has been increased. D. Tourists find it hard to travel without harming the environment. 15. Why does the author hope airline tickets will be more expensive? A. To limit the development of tourism. B. To create a sense of equality in society. C. To help people value their traveling experience. D. To make people less excited about travelling. 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。 In modern society, many retired people are lonely and lack life purpose while many young people have their own problems. ___16___ Or they may wish to live independently but be unable to pay the high rents in their area. ___17___ It involves bringing older and younger people together to support each other.

A little boy had the job of coming to school early each day to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and classmates arrived. One morning they arrived to find the schoolhouse in flames. They dragged the unconscious little boy out of the burning building more dead than alive. He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was taken to the nearby county hospital. From his bed the terribly burned, semi-conscious little boy faintly heard the doctor talking to his mother. The doctor told his mother that her son would possibly die for the terrible fire had damaged the lower half of his body. But the brave boy didn’t want to die. He made up his mind that he would survive. Somehow, to the amazement of the physician, he did survive. When the mortal (致命的) danger was past, he again heard the doctor and his mother speaking quietly. The mother was told that since the fire had destroyed so much flesh in his legs, he was doomed (注定) to be unable to walk properly with no use at all of his lower limbs. Once more the brave boy made up his mind. He would walk. But unfortunately from the waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just dangled (悬垂) there, all but lifeless. Ultimately he was released from the hospital. Every day his mother would massage his little legs, but there was no feeling, no control, nothing. Yet his determination that he would walk was as strong as ever. When he wasn’t in bed, he was confined (离不开) to a wheelchair. One sunny day his mother wheeled him out into the yard with a fence around its edge to get some fresh air. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 This day, instead of sitting still, he threw himself from the chair. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Using the fence as his support, he raised himself up slowly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
