And that may set you up for poor choices in your eating habits, self-care and finances In a new study, athletes were asked to overtrain for three out of nine weeks, and scientists compared them to a group who did a normal 9-week training program. Not only did those overworked athletes perform worse on a cycling test at the end of the over-training, MRIs (磁共振成像像片) of their brains during behavioral tasks also showed more tiredness in the cognitive (认知的) control part of the brain system 第6页/共22页 学科网 组卷网 "Cognitive control in this situation is the ability to keep exercising without being prevented by things like muscle pain." said study author Bastien Blain. a researcher at University College London "And what we found is that there is an intellectual (智 力的) part involved in exercising and it has a limited ability. You cannot use it forever." In other words, your brain will burn out and affect your body's ability to exercise But that's not all. Overworking that part of the brain also reduced the athletes' abilities to fight temptation (诱 惑) of immediate self-satisfaction. "For example, they were asked whether they preferred s1o now or $5o in six months," Blain said."And those who over trained were more likely to choose $1o now." Blain had done a similar study in 20l6. A group of 58 adults performed hard tasks over a 6-hour period, then underwent MRI imaging and were asked if they would choose $5 now or $5o later. Researchers found overworked brains were much more likely to choose $5now In fact, another study done by Cornier found that regular limited exercise was related to reducing the wish to eat "Those people consume less and they lost weight And the more we saw that change in brain activity due to exercise, the more weight they lost."Cornier said 8. What happened to the overworked athletes in the study? A. They would get tired of normal training B. They behaved better in the cycling test C. They improved their self-satisfaction D. They did poorly in cognitive control 9. What did Blain find in 20l6? A. MRI imaging made people clever B. Adults preferred challenging tasks C. Overworked people tend to choose immediate rewards D. A 6-hour period of exercise benefited people 10. According to Cornier, why can people lose weight by doing limited exercise regularly? A. It makes people eat less B. It consumes much energy C. It helps people to feel good D. It improves people's sleep 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Oyer exercise could lead to bad decisions B. Cognitive control reflects your mental health C. Exercise promotes your intellectual development 第7页/共22页 学科网 组卷网 D. Overworking vour brain can change your eating habits 9.C 10.A 【答案】8.D 11.A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是过度运动会影响人们的认知控制能力,使人们更容易疲劳和冲 动,从而倾向于得到即时奖励而非延迟奖励 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Not only did those overworked athletes perform worse on a cycling test at the end of the over-training, MRIs (磁共振成像像片) of their brains during behavioral tasks also showed more tiredness in the cognitive(认知的)controlpartof thebrainsystem(那些过度训练的运动员不仅在过度训练结束时的自行 车测试中表现更差,而且在进行行为任务时,他们大脑的磁共振成像也显示出认知控制系统更加疲劳)”可 知,过度训练的运动员不仅在自行车测试中的表现更差,而且他们的大脑认知控制系统也显示出了更多的 疲劳。由此可知,过度训练的运动员在认知控制方面表现不佳。故选D项 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Overworking that part of the brain also reduced the athletes' abilities to fight temptation(诱惑)of immediate self-satisfaction.(过度使用大脑的那一部分也降低了运动员抵抗即时自我满足 诱惑的能力)”以及“Researchers found overworked brains were much more likely to choose $5 now(研究人员 发现,过度使用的大脑更倾向于选择现在就拿5美元)”可知,在过度工作后,人们更倾向于选择立即获得 的小额现金而不是延迟的大额回报,由此可知,过度劳累会使人们往往选择得到即时奖励。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五.段的“In fact. another study done by Cornier found that regular limited exercise was related to reducing the wish to eat. "Those people consume less and they lost weight. And the more we saw that change inbrain activity due to exercise, the more weight they lost."Cornier said.(事实上,科尼尔进行的另一项研 究发现,规律的有限锻炼与减少进食欲望有关。科尼尔说:“这些人消耗得更少,他们的体重也下降了。而 且我们观察到由于锻炼引起的大脑活动变化越大,他们的体重下降得就越多。”)”可知,定期适度运动会使 人们少吃,从而容易减肥。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“It turns out that overworking your brain with either physical or mental exercise may lower your ability to put off self-satisfaction And that may set you up for poor choices in your eating habits. self-careandfinances(结果表明,无论是通过体力还是脑力劳动过度使用你的大脑,都可能降低你推迟自我 满足的能力。这可能会导致你在饮食习惯、自我照顾和财务方面做出不良选择)”及后面对相关研究的介绍 第8页/共22页 学科网 5组卷网 可知,本文主要介绍的是过度锻炼会导致人们做出不明智的决定,所以题目“过度运动可能导致错误决策” 概括了全文的主题,可以作为本文的合适标题。故选A项。 D Many people outside of the USA, and within, wonder why anyone would want to mess up sweet potatoes that are naturally sweet by putting marshmallows (棉 花糖) on them or in them. However, some families with southeastern roots have eaten them that way for dozens of years. They love that sugary sweetness on top of more sweetness. It satisfies their "sweet tooth" But why do people combine marshmallows with sweet potatoes? There is a theory that draws from the concept of "supply and demand", coupled with great marketing. You see, at one time, marshmallows were hard to get As they became more available, they were still considered a special treat, and some unconventional cooks used them to “dress up"dishes and desserts made with staple ingredients (主要原料). So, by topping a staple vegetable like sweet potatoes with marshmallows, home chefs were able to make a special dish for their families Marshmallow candies have been around since about 2ooo B.C. when the ancient Egyptians made them by combining the root's sweet sap (汗液) with honey. Up until the mid to late 18oOs, only the wealthy could afford them because the production process was slow and costly: the candies were hand-made. Marshmallows weren't mass-produced until about 1ooo when a faster and less expensive production process, the "starch mogul system" which was invented in the late 18oOs. became available The combination of sweet potatoes and marshmallows is a tradition that some believe started between the 1920s and 193os. After that, marshmallows became a widely produced staple ingredient that could be used for cakes, desserts, candies and salads prepared by everyone for family gatherings, parties, and other special occasions During the same time. people started to top off their hot cocoa with marshmallows, and they roasted them around campfires. Although marshmallows eaten today are no longer made from the marshmallow plant's root sap, they have had a long wonderful impact in history 12. What is mentioned about the mixture of marshmallows and sweet potatoes? A. A world-famous cook made it by accident B. It was once used for treating a special disease C. It was driven by personal preference and the market D. Ancient Egyptians once regarded it as the staple food 13. What does the underlined word "unconventional" in Paragraph 2 probably-mean? 第9页/共22页 学科网 组卷网 A Unskilled B. Creative C. Sincere. D. Responsible 14. What role did the"starch mogul system" play in producing marshmallows? A. It made them easier to produce B. It improved their traditional taste C. It made their appearance more attractive D. It encouraged the poor to help with the process 15. How did marshmallows develop after the 1930s? A. They began to appear in important occasions of the wealthy B. They became a bridge to cultural communication C. They were gradually replaced by other desserts D. They were widely accepted and used 【答案】12.C 13.B 14.A 15.D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了棉花糖的历史及相关传统。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“They love that sugary sweetness on top of more sweetness. It satisfies their“sweet tooth”(他们喜欢在原本就甜的红薯上再加上那一层甜甜的味道。这满足了他们对甜食的喜爱)”和第二段 “But why do people combine marshmallows with sweet potatoes? There is a theory that draws from the concept of"supply anddemand”.coupledwithgreatmarketing.(但人们为什么会把棉花糖和红薯搭配在一起呢?有一 种理论认为,这源于“供需”概念,再加上出色的市场营销)”可知,这种食物的产生是由于个人喜好和市 场推动的。故选C。 【13题详解 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“As they became more available. they were still considered a special treat. and some unconventional cooks used them to "dress up" dishes and desserts made with staple ingredients (主要原料). So, by topping a staple vegetable like sweet potatoes with marshmallows, home chefs were able to make a special dish for theirfamilies.(即使后来它们变得更容易买到了,人们仍然认为它们是一种特别的享受,于是,一些 unconventional的厨师会用棉花糖来“装点”用主要原料制作的菜肴和甜点。因此,家庭厨师们通过在像红 薯这样的主要蔬菜上加上棉花糖,就能为家人制作出一道特别的菜肴)”可知,厨师们会用棉花糖来装饰菜 肴或者甜点,制作特色美食,所以这些是一些“有创意的”厨师们,unconventional的意思是“有创意的”, 第10页/共22页 南宁三中2024~2025学年度下学期高一月考(一) 英语试题 2025.3 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5 小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

And that may set you up for poor choices in your eating habits, self-care and finances. In a new study, athletes were asked to overtrain for three out of nine weeks, and scientists compared them to a group who did a normal 9-week training program. Not only did those overworked athletes perform worse on a cycling test at the end of the over-training, MRIs (磁共振成像像片) of their brains during behavioral tasks also showed more tiredness in the cognitive (认知的) control part of the brain system. “Cognitive control in this situation is the ability to keep exercising without being prevented by things like muscle pain,” said study author Bastien Blain, a researcher at University College London. “And what we found is that there is an intellectual (智力的) part involved in exercising and it has a limited ability. You cannot use it forever.” In other words, your brain will burn out and affect your body’s ability to exercise. But that’s not all. Overworking that part of the brain also reduced the athletes’ abilities to fight temptation (诱惑) of immediate self-satisfaction. “For example, they were asked whether they preferred $10 now or $50 in six months,” Blain said. “And those who over trained were more likely to choose $10 now.” Blain had done a similar study in 2016. A group of 58 adults performed hard tasks over a 6-hour period, then underwent MRI imaging and were asked if they would choose $5 now or $50 later. Researchers found overworked brains were much more likely to choose $5 now. In fact, another study done by Cornier found that regular limited exercise was related to reducing the wish to eat. “Those people consume less and they lost weight. And the more we saw that change in brain activity due to exercise, the more weight they lost,” Cornier said. 8. What happened to the overworked athletes in the study? A. They would get tired of normal training. B. They behaved better in the cycling test. C. They improved their self-satisfaction. D. They did poorly in cognitive control. 9. What did Blain find in 2016? A. MRI imaging made people clever. B. Adults preferred challenging tasks. C. Overworked people tend to choose immediate rewards. D. A 6-hour period of exercise benefited people. 10. According to Cornier, why can people lose weight by doing limited exercise regularly? A. It makes people eat less. B. It consumes much energy. C. It helps people to feel good. D. It improves people’s sleep. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Over exercise could lead to bad decisions B. Cognitive control reflects your mental health C. Exercise promotes your intellectual development D. Overworking your brain can change your eating habits D Many people outside of the USA, and within, wonder why anyone would want to mess up sweet potatoes that are naturally sweet by putting marshmallows (棉花糖) on them or in them. However, some families with southeastern roots have eaten them that way for dozens of years. They love that sugary sweetness on top of more sweetness. It satisfies their “sweet tooth”. But why do people combine marshmallows with sweet potatoes? There is a theory that draws from the concept of “supply and demand”, coupled with great marketing. You see, at one time, marshmallows were hard to get. As they became more available, they were still considered a special treat, and some unconventional cooks used them to “dress up” dishes and desserts made with staple ingredients (主要原料). So, by topping a staple vegetable like sweet potatoes with marshmallows, home chefs were able to make a special dish for their families. Marshmallow candies have been around since about 2000 B.C. when the ancient Egyptians made them by combining the root’s sweet sap (汁液) with honey. Up until the mid to late 1800s, only the wealthy could afford them because the production process was slow and costly: the candies were hand-made. Marshmallows weren’t mass-produced until about 1900 when a faster and less expensive production process, the “starch mogul system” which was invented in the late 1800s, became available. The combination of sweet potatoes and marshmallows is a tradition that some believe started between the 1920s and 1930s. After that, marshmallows became a widely produced staple ingredient that could be used for cakes, desserts, candies and salads prepared by everyone for family gatherings, parties, and other special occasions. During the same time, people started to top off their hot cocoa with marshmallows, and they roasted them around campfires. Although marshmallows eaten today are no longer made from the marshmallow plant’s root sap, they have had a long wonderful impact in history. 12. What is mentioned about the mixture of marshmallows and sweet potatoes? A. A world-famous cook made it by accident. B. It was once used for treating a special disease. C. It was driven by personal preference and the market. D. Ancient Egyptians once regarded it as the staple food. 13. What does the underlined word “unconventional” in Paragraph 2 probably-mean? A. Unskilled. B. Creative. C. Sincere. D. Responsible. 14. What role did the “starch mogul system” play in producing marshmallows? A. It made them easier to produce. B. It improved their traditional taste. C. It made their appearance more attractive. D. It encouraged the poor to help with the process. 15. How did marshmallows develop after the 1930s? A. They began to appear in important occasions of the wealthy. B. They became a bridge to cultural communication. C. They were gradually replaced by other desserts. D. They were widely accepted and used. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Youngsters usually benefit from having a relationship with someone older and wiser to mentor（指导） them.

I pressed my nose against the car window and wondered what he would be like. Would he shake hands, roll over and run after little animals in the woods? Each passing fence post drew me nearer to my dream dog. As our family walked into the kennel, among the chaos and noise, silence caught my eye. He was sitting quietly and confidently in a corner cage. When I approached, he lifted one of his feet between the bars, and I touched it carefully. A handwritten sign at the top of his cage read, “Shepherd (牧羊犬)”. Ten minutes later, he was sitting in the back seat of our car. “His name is Fritz,” my mother announced that night as we put a dog collar around his neck with our phone number and his name on it. Fritz adjusted quickly to life in his new home. Whenever guests arrived, he would run out to greet them. When we took our afternoon walks, he was a cheerful companion. The highlight of his day was when I came back, racing through the front door after school. He would slide through the entryway and then jump into my arms as if he had just won a great prize. One Friday afternoon, my father declared that we were going out for the night. Each year we took a journey across the mountains to his hometown of Knoxville, Kentucky, for a day of sightseeing. As we loaded up the car, my father told me that the hotel where we would be staying did not allow dogs in. Therefore, Fritz wasn’t going with us. As our car pulled away, Fritz watched from the edge of the yard with his tail waving quickly, as if to say, “Why are you leaving me alone?” Anyway, we set out. The next day when we came back home, it was already 6 pm. 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。 Paragraph l: Night fell, but there was no sign of Fritz. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Two weeks later, a call from a man brought us the great news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
