Yet no matter the shape of my 9 to 5, one thing remains constant: emails. About a year ago, I found my email-checking habit had become more distracting (分心的) than usual. When working on my computer, I found myself nervously checking my phone for unread emails whenever hitting a mental block. Even worse, during lunch or walks, that habit of checking would come with me, making my breaks an extension of the workday. The little red dot on my Gmail app had become a marker of my professional image: the more unread emails, the more I felt I was failing. By quickly responding to everyone, I convinced myself I was seen as reliable by my paymasters and therefore worthy of the work I needed to pay my electricity bills, so I could charge my phone, read my emails and carry on the endless cycle. However, speed doesn’t always mean quality. I was always contactable — but at what cost? I took on too much work, not allowing myself space to reflect on the value of my work. The content machine kept running and I was busy, producing “word salad” onto the internet. Something needed to change. After a particularly crazy week of nonstop emailing, I deleted the email app. The difference was immediately noticeable. I began to rest better. Now, my workdays remain unpredictable, but I’ve realised that a lack of structure needn’t stop me setting boundaries (边界) for myself. Uninterrupted breaks help me focus when I get back to work. Taking a few hours to respond to messages — instead of just minutes — often makes no difference to the sender and allows me to digest the content properly. I am still surviving as a freelancer in a fast-paced industry, but now I can spend my time endlessly checking my phone for Instagram stories instead. 4. How did the email-checking habit affect the author? A. It caused him mental disorder. B. It made his breaks less relaxing. C. It kept him extremely impatient. D. It changed the structure of his workday. 5. Why did the author feel the need to respond to emails quickly? A. He wanted to avoid long working hours. B. He sought high pay to cover electricity bills. C. He desired to maintain a professional image. D. He believed multitasking ensured employment. 6. What does the author imply by mentioning “word salad” in paragraph 4? A. He was far from productive. B. He valued quality over quantity. C. His work was creative and tasteful. D. His work lacked meaningful content. 7. What does the author learn after deleting the email app? A. Email senders prefer thoughtful replies. B. Social media is more important than email. C. Setting boundaries can improve work efficiency. D. Freelancers should get used to a fast-paced lifestyle. C The mental pain of failure can stimulate you to become better at the activity in which you lack proficiency-if you can consider the unpleasant experience as an indicator of personal growth. This is what researchers found when they conducted a field experiment at an improvisation (即兴表演) club. One group of amateur improvisers was instructed to actively seek the feeling of awkwardness. The scholars found that, compared with improvisers who were not given this instruction, the first group was more engaged in the exercise. Instead of seeing the discomfort as something to avoid, they saw it as central to the process and leaned into it. This has effects on how to improve ordinary life. You can put failure to good use in many other areas of life. If you’re a student, take a class far outside your area of skills and interests, knowing that the struggle to cope with a very novel challenge may improve studying what you do like. Enjoy the difficulty of it and analyze the mistakes you make—and you will almost certainly find that you're doing even better at your preferred subject. Employers can apply these principles as well. I like the “75/25 rule,” according to which employees spend three-quarters of their time on their assigned task and one quarter helping others outside their area. The short-term cost of this is friction as people struggle with novelty and difficulty-and bosses should take care not to make this worse by being punitive or overly critical. But I have seen the long-term benefit of better motivation in the core assignment, as well as a better flow of information and distribution of new skills across different activities within an enterprise. The embrace-failure principle can even be applied to happiness itself. None of us wants to be unhappy. But inviting sources of unhappiness into life can be extremely beneficial. Resolve not to be afraid of fear, anger, or sadness. They are normal and natural parts of life, after all. And if you let them, they will help you savor (享受) the joys of life all the more. 8. What did the experiment at the improvisation club find? A Avoiding awkwardness improved improvisers’ creativity. B. Actively embracing awkwardness increased engagement. C. Professional improvisers performed better than amateurs. D. Discomfort negatively impacted participants’ motivation. 9. Why does the author advise students to take unfamiliar classes? A. To reduce their academic pressure. B. To increase their studying interests. C. To avoid errors in their preferred field. D. To indirectly strengthen their major subjects. 10. What is the long-term effect of the “75/25 rule”? A. Employees are more motivated and multi-skilled. B. Competitions among colleagues get more intense. C. New and difficult assignments become effortless. D. Conflicts in workplace disappear completely. 11. Which is the best title of the text? A. The Different Ways to Avoid Failure. B. The Advice on How to Seek Happiness. C. The Benefits of Doing Things You’re Bad at. D. The Reasons Why You’re in Negative Moods. D Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly. One way to do that is to think abstractly about dessert. For decades, researchers have been asking the seemingly simple question of how to cut a cake fairly. The answer reaches far beyond birthday parties. A mathematical problem at its heart, cake cutting connects strict reasoning to real-world issues of fairness, and so attracts not only mathematicians, but also social scientists, economists and more. “It’s a very elegant model in which you can distill what fairness really is, and reason about it,” Procaccia says. The simplest approach is called the “divider-chooser” method, where one person cuts the cake into two equal pieces in his view, and the other person picks first. Each receives a piece that they feel is as valuable as the other’s. But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. Suppose Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate, she may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation. The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms (算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals. Even after decades of investigation, cake cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle (拼图) with a well-defined solution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore. 12. What does the underlined word “distill” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Get the essence of. B. Find the opposite of. C. Keep the focus on. D. Reduce the impact on. 13. What can we learn about fairness from the example given in paragraph 3? A. Its standard is stable. B. It prevents unequal division. C Its concept is complex. D. It dominates personal preferences. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning cake cutting? A. The application of its rules. B. The details of its process. C. The problems it produces. D. The harmony it symbolizes. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Who Benefits Most from Fairness? B. How Has Fairness Changed over Time? C. What Method Works Best in Cake-cutting? D. Why are Researchers so Interested in Cake-cutting? 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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Anyone with an internet connection can watch breaking news, or at least some version of it. Across social media, posts can fly up faster than most fact-checkers can handle, and they are often an unpredictable mix of true, fake, and out of context. ____16____ How do you know what to trust and what not to share? Here are some basic tools everyone should use when consuming breaking news online. ____17____ Think about who would benefit from spreading confusing information during a news event. During elections, for example, look out for conflicting information and baseless accusations that may benefit one political party or candidate. Of course, not all misinformation is serious. Some is created just for fun or to troll (恶搞) people, so be as skeptical of silly stories as serious ones. Slow down while reading or watching. Social media is built for things to go viral, for users to quickly share before they are even done reading the words. No matter how shocking, enlightening or annoying a TikTok or YouTube video is, you must wait before passing it on to your network. ____18____ That’s because they are waiting until information is confirmed and accurate. So assume everything is suspect until you confirm its authenticity (真实性). Don’t use AI to get news. Tech companies are pushing their voice assistants and AI chatbot tools as a way to get the latest news. ____19____ They can be incorrect, out of date or simply copying words from sources with little credit or visibility. Some chatbots even have started adding disclaimers (免责申明) around breaking news events, advising readers to look elsewhere for new information. ____20____ A. Know why misinformation exists. B. News outlets may seem slower than social media. C. Question why you want to share it in the first place. D. Do not rely on these features for accurate information. E. Do a Google search for the person or organization’s name. F. So going directly to news sources will ensure you get more accurate information. G. The rapid spread of easily accessible AI tools is mudding the waters even further. 第三部分 语言运用（共四节，满分30分） 第一节 完型填空（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。 I once worked in the remote but beautiful countryside.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 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。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 福建省厦门第一中学2024—2025 学年度 第二学期期中考试 高二年英语试卷 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

Traditional Chinese culture, with its timeless charm, is beautifully embodied in Chinese painting, an art form where aesthetics meet philosophy. With brush and ink, artists captured flowing mountains, silent rivers, and fleeting moments. Rather than simply depicting the world, each stroke aimed to capture the soul behind the scene. A perfect example is Along the River During the Qingming Festival. What sets it apart is not only its vast scale, but also its breathtaking detail — from merchants crossing bridges to vendors calling in the streets. So vivid is the depiction that history seems to unfold before our eyes. 第二节 （满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】 I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts?” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up — people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!(96词) Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.(100词) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
