2024－2025学年第二学期高二年级开学摸底考试英语试题 试题满分：150分　　考试时间：100分钟 一、阅读理解（共15小题：每小题3分，满分45分） A Plan a Trip to Bali! If you are looking for a dream holiday destination, then Bali meets most people’s expectations. The travel information below will help you plan your dream trip to Bali. Best Times to Visit Bali The wet season (off-season): November to March of the following year is the rainy season. Although there is much rainfall, most activities can be carried out except for the volcano hiking. As most of these five months are the off-season for tourism, flight and hotel prices are low, and tour products and activities are cheap. The dry season (high-season): April to October, with less rainfall, is the best season for surfing, diving, mountain hiking and bike riding. During this period, there are many local festivals, so it’s a good time to enjoy cultural activities. For example, the Bali Art Festival, held from mid-June to mid-July, is very attractive to visitors. July and August are the busiest times in Bali. So, if you don’t want to join the crowds, just avoid these two months. During the Christmas and New Year holidays and Chinese New Year, the number of visitors rises sharply. Hotel rooms are easily fully-booked in these two periods, and bookings need to be made 1 — 3 months before your trip to Bali. Best Places to Visit in Bali With over 5,000 square kilometers, there are many places you can visit in Bali. In general, tourism in Bali can be divided into three parts: northern/ eastern, central and southern. ●The northern and eastern parts are good for mountain climbing, hiking, volcano adventures and diving. ●Central Bali is well known for its village scenery, terraced rice fields (梯田), arts and cultural towns. ●Southern Bali has the best places for beach time, sunbathing, surfing and various watersports. 1. When can visitors go to Bali if they want to save money? A. In October. B. In August. C. In April. D. In February. 2. What should visitors do for a visit to Bali during Christmas? A. Travel there with a group. B. Get to know local weather. C. Book hotels ahead of time. D. Avoid popular tourist attractions. 3. Who is likely to travel in the central part of Bali? A. Surfers. B. Artists. C Beach lovers. D. Mountain climbers. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了去巴厘岛旅行的最佳时间、不同季节的活动以及各个区域适合的旅游项目。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Best Times to Visit Bali标题下的第一段“The wet season (off-season): November to March of the following year is the rainy season. Although there is much rainfall, most activities can be carried out except for the volcano hiking. As most of these five months are the off-season for tourism, flight and hotel prices are low, and tour products and activities are cheap.(雨季（淡季）：11月至次年3月为雨季。虽然降雨量很大，但除了火山徒步旅行外，大多数活动都可以进行。由于这五个月大多是旅游淡季，机票和酒店价格低廉，旅游产品和活动也很便宜)”可知，在2月份前往可以节省费用，因为这是旅游淡季，航班和酒店价格都较低。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Best Times to Visit Bali标题下的第三段“During the Christmas and New Year holidays and Chinese New Year, the number of visitors rises sharply. Hotel rooms are easily fully-booked in these two periods, and bookings need to be made 1 — 3 months before your trip to Bali.(在圣诞节、新年和中国新年期间，游客数量急剧上升。在这两个时期，酒店房间很容易预订满，需要在您前往巴厘岛前1-3个月预订)”可知，在圣诞节期间访问巴厘岛需要提前预订酒店，以确保有房可住。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Best Places to Visit in Bali标题下的“Central Bali is well known for its village scenery, terraced rice fields (梯田), arts and cultural towns.(中巴厘岛以其村庄景色、梯田和艺术及文化城镇而闻名)” 可知，中部巴厘岛以其艺术和文化城镇著名，因此艺术家可能会选择穿越到巴厘岛的中部去。故选B。 B For many runners, a marathon can often be a challenge—but sometimes what gets a runner through the tough 26.2 miles is looking out into the crowd and seeing his or her loved one holding up a sign and shouting words of encouragement. For one mom, though, her loved one was a bit more hands-on. While running the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon in Salt Lake City, Courtney Rich, a self-taught baker and mother of two, was beginning to run out of energy just yards from the end when she was suddenly joined by her 10-year-old daughter, Avery. The touching moment, caught on video and posted on social media, shows Avery running to her mother’s side to support her as she approached the end of the race. Rich’s face lit up when Avery joined her and helped her cross the finish line. Rich later said in the video’s caption that being joined by her daughter to finish the race was “a moment I hope neither of us ever forget”. Rich said that her daughter could tell she was struggling after a phone call near the end of the race. “She knew I had struggled the last few miles,” Rich said. “She saw tears in my eyes when I called on mile 24.” In the video, Rich’s facial expression changes from tiredness to a smile after seeing her daughter emerge from the crowd to join her. Then, Rich and her daughter ran hand-in-hand to the finish line. “Nothing could have prepared me for the moment my 10-year-old daughter would jump out of the crowd and run with me to the finish line,” she said. When the race was done, the two hugged each other at the finish line. The video ends with a final caption, “And then she just held me. She held me.” In the past, the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon has had other memorable moments of mothers caring for their children, but perhaps not as hands-on as this one. 4. What happened to Rich when she was coming to the finish line? A. She felt herself struggling. B. She was far behind others. C. She fell down all of a sudden. D. She was interrupted by Avery. 5. How did Avery react to the accident? A. She ran the rest in place of Rich. B. She tried to call for help at once. C. She helped Rich run to the finish line. D. She shouted encouraging words to Rich. 6. How did Rich feel about Avery’s response? A. Doubtful. B. Content. C. Concerned. D. Expected. 7 What can be the best title for the text? A. A Daughter Cheered For Her Mother By Joining In Her Race B. A Mother Encouraged Her Daughter To Pursue Her Dream C. A Daughter Got Involved In Her Mother’s Race By Mistake D. A Mother Would Never Give Up On Her Marathon Dream 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了作为一名母亲的Rich参加了马拉松比赛，在快接近终点线时体力不支，她的女儿Avery察觉到了她的感受，从人群中走出来加入她，陪她一同越过终点线，两人最后拥抱在一起，这样感人的时刻被视频记录下来，成为这场马拉松比赛中令人难忘的记忆。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Rich said that her daughter could tell she was struggling after a phone call near the end of the race. “She knew I had struggled the last few miles,” Rich said.(Rich说，她的女儿在比赛快结束时接到一个电话后，就能感觉到她在挣扎。“她知道我在最后几英里里很挣扎，”Rich说)”可知，Rich在快要靠近终点线的时候感到自己在挣扎。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The touching moment, caught on video and posted on social media, shows Avery running to her mother’s side to support her as she approached the end of the race. Rich’s face lit up when Avery joined her and helped her cross the finish line.(这一感人的时刻被拍了下来，并发布在社交媒体上。在视频中，Avery在她母亲接近终点时跑到她身边支持她。当Avery加入她并帮助她越过终点线时，Rich的脸上露出了笑容)”可知，面对妈妈Rich的情况，Avery帮助她跑到终点线。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“In the video, Rich’s facial expression changes from tiredness to a smile after seeing her daughter emerge from the crowd to join her.(在视频中，看到女儿从人群中走出来和她在一起后，Rich的表情从疲惫变成了微笑)”可知，Rich在看到女儿加入自己跑马拉松后，不再疲惫，而是露出微笑。由此推知，她对女儿的反应感到很满足。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章报道了母亲Rich和女儿Avery之间的故事。作为一名母亲的Rich参加了马拉松比赛，在快接近终点线时体力不支，她的女儿Avery察觉到了她的感受，从人群中走出来加入她，陪她一同越过终点线，两人最后拥抱在一起，这样感人的时刻被视频记录下来，成为这场马拉松比赛中令人难忘的记忆。故A项“一个女儿为她的母亲加油，加入她的比赛”概括了故事的核心内容，最适合作为标题。故选A。 C Fairs and theme parks never seem to lose their attraction. My kids love them as much as I do. Not everyone will agree with me though. My wife is terrified of anything more exciting than the merry-go-round. So why do I love Blackpool’s Big One while she goes white on hearing the word “rollercoaster(过山车)”？ According to psychologists, it comes down to something called a “Type T” personality. Type T’s are thrillseekers who welcome the uncertainty of activities that most people would find hairraising. It seems some of us enjoy the physical sensations associated with fear: the adrenaline(肾上腺素) rush and the beating heart. Scary rides make us feel alive. Terrifying experiences encourage a sense of excitement once we’re back on solid ground though we only enjoy them, experts say, when we’re within a “protective frame” that assures us that deep down, we’re still safe. Recent research has found certain genes(基因) which may be responsible for those of us with Type T personalities. Biochemists have separated a gene called DRD4 which seems more common in rollercoaster lovers like me. New technologies have allowed engineers to design coasters that change speeds quickly, shoot up hundreds of feet into the air and make all sorts of twists. Research suggests that extreme fairground rides tend to appeal particularly to those of us who lead stressful, structured or controlled lives. It’s certainly true that roller coasters are a way of breaking out of the humdrum(乏味的) expectations of everyday life. Theme parks allow us to act like children again, to experience true excitement and behave a little wildly. Where else as an adult can you scream at the top of your lungs and throw your arms in the air without being sent for psychological evaluation? If you’re looking for a great place this summer where you can get in touch with your inner risktaker, head for the nearest theme park. It’s a scream! 8. What can we learn about the author’s wife? A. She gets excited easily. B. She fears extreme rides. C. She loves Blackpool’s Big One. D. She rarely disagrees with the author. 9. What do people with Type T personalities tend to do? A. Put their lives at risk. B. Stay energetic all the time. C. Avoid the “protective frame”. D. Enjoy adventurous experiences. 10. What has recent research revealed about the Type T personality? A. It is genetically determined. B. It is common among people. C. It is caused by living separately. D. It is a result of a physical disorder. 11. What’s the main reason why the author appreciates extreme fairground rides? A. They help relieve stress. B. They are technologically designed. C. They contribute to parent kid relationships. D They are a replacement for psychological evaluation. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。心理学家认为，T型人格的人的喜欢追求刺激，喜欢一些冒险的活动，最近的研究发现，某些基因可能与我们这些T型性格的人有关。研究表明，游乐场里的极限游乐设施对这些压力大、生活循规蹈矩或者受生活束缚的人更有吸引力。所以如果寻求刺激，可以去主题公园。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“My wife is terrified of anything more exciting than the merry goround.”可知，游乐场除旋转木马外，其他项目都让作者的妻子觉得害怕。由此判断出，作者的妻子害怕极限运动。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Type T’s are thrill seekers who welcome the uncertainty of activities that most people would find hairraising.”可知，T型人格的人喜欢寻求刺激。所以T型人格的人喜欢冒险经历。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Recent research has found certain genes(基因) which may be responsible for those of us with Type T personalities.”可知，最近的研究发现，某些基因可能与我们这些T型性格的人有关。所以T型人格由基因决定。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二、三句“Research suggests that extreme fairground rides tend to appeal particularly to those of us who lead stressful, structured or controlled lives. It’s certainly true that roller coasters are a way of breaking out of the humdrum(乏味的) expectations of everyday life.”可知，研究表明，生活压力大、受生活束缚的人更喜欢游乐场比较刺激的项目。作者对此表示认同，所以作者欣赏露天游乐场的主要原因是它们有助于缓解压力。故选A项。 D It’s midafternoon. You’re full from lunch. The day is warm. You’re starting to feel sleepy. Should you give in to the comfort of a nap (小睡)? From the viewpoint of health, it may be worth it. Though there is a hassle when it comes to whether napping benefits everyone, we generally acknowledge that naps can improve at least some people’s cognitive (认知的) performance in the short term. For example, scientists reviewed a past experiment that focused on healthy participants with regular sleep cycles. In that experiment, participants were given math problems that could be solved with a shortcut that they weren’t told about. Some participants were encouraged to take a nap before dealing with the problems. It was found that those who napped-and spent even just 30 seconds in the first, lightest stage of sleep-were 2.7 times more likely to figure out the math shortcut than those who stayed awake. But entering a deeper sleep stage had a negative effect. The benefits of napping are strongest for people who have sleep debt, such as shift workers, new parents and elderly people whose nighttime sleep is always interrupted. They all seem to get a boost through napping: a 2013 study focusing on such people, for example, showed that taking a nap during one’s night shift work reduced sleepiness and improved overall performance, even if people were slightly inactive as they came out of their nap-a phenomenon called “sleep inertia (惰性)”. There is something we can do to reduce sleep inertia. A 20-minute nap is good for recharging, and 60 to 90 minutes of sleep can be even more restorative. The nap to avoid is one lasting more than 20 minutes and less than 60 minutes, which is most likely to lead to sleep inertia. 12. What does the underlined word “hassle” mean in paragraph 2? A. Debate. B. Tendency. C. Guidance. D. Judgement. 13. What did the experiment find about napping? A. It improves memory. B. It helps clear one’s mind C. It may promote one’s health. D. It has a bad influence on people. 14. What can we infer about the subjects of the 2013 study? A. They tended to nap more. B. They were inactive in daytime. C. They came out of their naps slowly. D. They didn’t get enough nighttime sleep 15. How can we avoid sleep inertia? A. By taking fewer naps. B. By napping within 1 hour. C. By managing the nap length. D. By avoiding long naps. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，在下午三四点钟，你肚子很饱，天气很暖和，你开始感到困倦了。你应该屈服于小睡的舒适吗？小睡对你有好处吗？本文告诉你答案。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。画线词所在部分是让步状语从句，因此可以判断，a hassle与主句的generally acknowledge应在含义上对立。主句“we generally acknowledge that naps can improve at least some people’s cognitive (认知的) performance in the short term.(但我们通常承认，小睡至少可以在短期内提高一些人的认知能力)”指出我们通常都认为小睡至少能在短期内提升一些人的认知表现，因此可推断出，从句应表示尽管在小睡是否让所有人受益方面存在争议/争论/分歧。hassle与debate含义接近，故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It was found that those who napped-and spent even just 30 seconds in the first, lightest stage of sleep-were 2.7 times more likely to figure out the math shortcut than those who stayed awake. But entering a deeper sleep stage had a negative effect.(研究发现，那些在睡眠最轻的第一阶段小睡了30秒的人比那些保持清醒的人更有可能找到数学捷径，这个概率是其他人的2.7倍。但是进入深度睡眠阶段会产生负面影响。)”可知，该实验发现小睡有助于使人头脑清醒。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The benefits of napping are strongest for people who have sleep debt, such as shift workers, new parents and elderly people whose nighttime sleep is always interrupted. They all seem to get a boost through napping (小睡的好处对于那些有睡眠债务的人来说是最大的，比如轮班工人，初为人父母的人和夜间睡眠总是被打断的老年人。他们似乎都能通过小睡得到提升)”可推知，研究对象是一些有睡眠负债的人，他们夜晚的睡眠不充足。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段“There is something we can do to reduce sleep inertia. A 20-minute nap is good for recharging, and 60 to 90 minutes of sleep can be even more restorative. The nap to avoid is one lasting more than 20 minutes and less than 60 minutes, which is most likely to lead to sleep inertia.(我们可以做一些事情来减少睡眠惰性。20分钟的小睡有助于恢复体力，60到90分钟的睡眠甚至可以让你恢复体力。要避免的小睡持续时间超过20分钟，少于60分钟，这很可能导致睡眠惰性。)”介绍了如何减轻睡眠惰性。20分钟以及60至90分钟的小睡都有作用，但是20分钟以上、60分钟以下的小睡最有可能导致睡眠惰性。由此可推知，小睡的时间要安排好，既不能太短，也不能太长。故选C。 二、七选五（共1小题：每小题3分，满分15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。 Nowadays, more and more people like going on trips during the holidays. ____16____.

Mark was born and brought up in California. The sun, the beaches, and the friends he’d known since kindergarten were all parts of his world. But at the age of 16, everything changed. His parents got new jobs in Ohio, and the family had to move there. It was a difficult decision, as it meant leaving behind everything Mark knew and loved. Along with the move came a new school for Mark. He felt upset every time he thought about saying goodbye to his former school. He was afraid of the change, like the new city, the new school, and the new people he would meet. He didn’t know if he could fit in or if he would be lonely there. After a long journey across the country, the family arrived and finally settled in Ohio. When it was time to go to his new school, Mark’s mind was filled with worries. What if the students were unfriendly and even cold? What if he couldn’t make any new friends? The next morning, Mark’s parents drove him to school. His heart was beating in his chest as they pulled up to a big brick building. He hugged his mom and dad, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the car. With each step towards the school gate, his anxiety grew. He felt like he was walking into a whole new world. Mark was greeted by a school secretary, who was very friendly. Seeing that Mark was nervous and shy, she decided to show Mark around the school yard first. Mark was led to the modern computer lab, the science lab, and the huge gym with a basketball court where Mark imagined trying out for the school team. As they walked around, Mark gradually felt the school seemed nice, starting to feel a little better. Finally, they got to the teaching building and headed for Mark’s new classroom, and Mark’s heart started racing again.

Though his voice was shaky, Mark managed to tell them a little about himself. After the introduction, the class clapped and cheered warmly and they seemed happy to have him there, which was quite a surprise and comfort for Mark. He started to calm down, and he began to feel like maybe he could make friends here. After some time, Mark realized that he could fall in love with the new class. As the day went on, Mark found that what he had worried about was unnecessary. The classes were interesting, and the teachers were helpful. During the breaks, he was surrounded by the enthusiastic classmates and they chatted about their interests and had fun together. After school, some of the students invited him to play basketball in the school gym. The day ended up with surprise and happiness. Mark realized that change wasn’t always bad. It was scary at first, but it led him to new experiences and friendships, He learned that he could be stronger than he had thought and that he could adapt to the new situation quite soon. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了16岁的Mark从加州搬至俄亥俄州，因父母工作变动而必须适应新环境。初到陌生的城市和学校，Mark对未来感到不安与孤独。在开学第一天，友善的学校秘书带领他参观校园，让他逐渐放松下来，最后前往教室时，此时他的心又开始加速跳动，学校秘书把他带到门口开始新的学校生活的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当Mark踏入俄亥俄州的新教室时，他感到有点紧张。”可知，第一段可描写进入教室后同学们的反应以及Mark的紧张情景，以及Mark接下来又做了什么，让他不再紧张的。 ②由第二段首句内容“过了一会儿，Mark意识到自己可能会爱上这个新的班级。”可知，第二段可描写Mark在新班级老师和同学们的友好情景让他爱上这个新班级以及他的感悟。 2.续写线索：进入教室——自我介绍——鼓掌欢迎——新感觉——一天的学校生活——新发现——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①深呼吸：took a deep breath/ breathed in deeply/ sucked in a breath ②鼓掌：clapped/gave applause/ burst into applause ③意识到：realized/be aware 情绪类 ①高兴：happy/delighted/pleased/thrilled ②担忧：worried/concerned 【点睛】[高分句型1] Trying to calm himself down, he knew he was supposed to introduce himself. （运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] After the introduction, the class clapped and cheered warmly and they seemed happy to have him there, which was quite a surprise and comfort for Mark. （运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型3] As the day went on, Mark found that what he had worried about was unnecessary.（as引导的时间状语从句和that引导的宾语从句以及what引导的主语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024－2025学年第二学期高二年级开学摸底考试英语试题 试题满分：150分　　考试时间：100分钟 一、阅读理解（共15小题：每小题3分，满分45分） A Plan a Trip to Bali! If you are looking for a dream holiday destination, then Bali meets most people’s expectations. The travel information below will help you plan your dream trip to Bali. Best Times to Visit Bali The wet season (off-season): November to March of the following year is the rainy season. Although there is much rainfall, most activities can be carried out except for the volcano hiking. As most of these five months are the off-season for tourism, flight and hotel prices are low, and tour products and activities are cheap. The dry season (high-season): April to October, with less rainfall, is the best season for surfing, diving, mountain hiking and bike riding. During this period, there are many local festivals, so it’s a good time to enjoy cultural activities. For example, the Bali Art Festival, held from mid-June to mid-July, is very attractive to visitors. July and August are the busiest times in Bali. So, if you don’t want to join the crowds, just avoid these two months. During the Christmas and New Year holidays and Chinese New Year, the number of visitors rises sharply. Hotel rooms are easily fully-booked in these two periods, and bookings need to be made 1 — 3 months before your trip to Bali. Best Places to Visit in Bali With over 5,000 square kilometers, there are many places you can visit in Bali. In general, tourism in Bali can be divided into three parts: northern/ eastern, central and southern. ●The northern and eastern parts are good for mountain climbing, hiking, volcano adventures and diving. ●Central Bali is well known for its village scenery, terraced rice fields (梯田), arts and cultural towns. ●Southern Bali has the best places for beach time, sunbathing, surfing and various watersports. 1. When can visitors go to Bali if they want to save money? A. In October. B. In August. C. In April. D. In February. 2. What should visitors do for a visit to Bali during Christmas? A. Travel there with a group. B. Get to know local weather. C. Book hotels ahead of time. D. Avoid popular tourist attractions. 3. Who is likely to travel in the central part of Bali? A. Surfers. B. Artists. C. Beach lovers. D. Mountain climbers. B For many runners, a marathon can often be a challenge—but sometimes what gets a runner through the tough 26.2 miles is looking out into the crowd and seeing his or her loved one holding up a sign and shouting words of encouragement. For one mom, though, her loved one was a bit more hands-on. While running the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon in Salt Lake City, Courtney Rich, a self-taught baker and mother of two, was beginning to run out of energy just yards from the end when she was suddenly joined by her 10-year-old daughter, Avery. The touching moment, caught on video and posted on social media, shows Avery running to her mother’s side to support her as she approached the end of the race. Rich’s face lit up when Avery joined her and helped her cross the finish line. Rich later said in the video’s caption that being joined by her daughter to finish the race was “a moment I hope neither of us ever forget”. Rich said that her daughter could tell she was struggling after a phone call near the end of the race. “She knew I had struggled the last few miles,” Rich said. “She saw tears in my eyes when I called on mile 24.” In the video Rich’s facial expression changes from tiredness to a smile after seeing her daughter emerge from the crowd to join her. Then, Rich and her daughter ran hand-in-hand to the finish line. “Nothing could have prepared me for the moment my 10-year-old daughter would jump out of the crowd and run with me to the finish line,” she said. When the race was done, the two hugged each other at the finish line. The video ends with a final caption, “And then she just held me. She held me.” In the past, the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon has had other memorable moments of mothers caring for their children, but perhaps not as hands-on as this one. 4. What happened to Rich when she was coming to the finish line? A. She felt herself struggling. B. She was far behind others. C. She fell down all of a sudden. D. She was interrupted by Avery. 5. How did Avery react to the accident? A. She ran the rest in place of Rich. B. She tried to call for help at once. C. She helped Rich run to the finish line. D. She shouted encouraging words to Rich. 6. How did Rich feel about Avery’s response? A. Doubtful. B. Content. C. Concerned. D. Expected. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. A Daughter Cheered For Her Mother By Joining In Her Race B. A Mother Encouraged Her Daughter To Pursue Her Dream C A Daughter Got Involved In Her Mother’s Race By Mistake D. A Mother Would Never Give Up On Her Marathon Dream C Fairs and theme parks never seem to lose their attraction. My kids love them as much as I do. Not everyone will agree with me though. My wife is terrified of anything more exciting than the merry-go-round. So why do I love Blackpool’s Big One while she goes white on hearing the word “rollercoaster(过山车)”？ According to psychologists, it comes down to something called a “Type T” personality. Type T’s are thrillseekers who welcome the uncertainty of activities that most people would find hairraising. It seems some of us enjoy the physical sensations associated with fear: the adrenaline(肾上腺素) rush and the beating heart. Scary rides make us feel alive. Terrifying experiences encourage a sense of excitement once we’re back on solid ground though we only enjoy them, experts say, when we’re within a “protective frame” that assures us that deep down, we’re still safe. Recent research has found certain genes(基因) which may be responsible for those of us with Type T personalities. Biochemists have separated a gene called DRD4 which seems more common in rollercoaster lovers like me. New technologies have allowed engineers to design coasters that change speeds quickly, shoot up hundreds of feet into the air and make all sorts of twists. Research suggests that extreme fairground rides tend to appeal particularly to those of us who lead stressful, structured or controlled lives. It’s certainly true that roller coasters are a way of breaking out of the humdrum(乏味的) expectations of everyday life. Theme parks allow us to act like children again, to experience true excitement and behave a little wildly. Where else as an adult can you scream at the top of your lungs and throw your arms in the air without being sent for psychological evaluation? If you’re looking for a great place this summer where you can get in touch with your inner risktaker, head for the nearest theme park. It’s a scream! 8. What can we learn about the author’s wife? A. She gets excited easily. B. She fears extreme rides. C. She loves Blackpool’s Big One. D. She rarely disagrees with the author. 9. What do people with Type T personalities tend to do? A. Put their lives at risk. B. Stay energetic all the time. C. Avoid the “protective frame”. D. Enjoy adventurous experiences. 10. What has recent research revealed about the Type T personality? A. It is genetically determined. B. It is common among people. C. It is caused by living separately. D. It is a result of a physical disorder. 11. What’s the main reason why the author appreciates extreme fairground rides? A They help relieve stress. B. They are technologically designed. C. They contribute to parent kid relationships. D. They are a replacement for psychological evaluation. D It’s midafternoon. You’re full from lunch. The day is warm. You’re starting to feel sleepy. Should you give in to the comfort of a nap (小睡)? From the viewpoint of health, it may be worth it. Though there is a hassle when it comes to whether napping benefits everyone, we generally acknowledge that naps can improve at least some people’s cognitive (认知的) performance in the short term. For example, scientists reviewed a past experiment that focused on healthy participants with regular sleep cycles. In that experiment, participants were given math problems that could be solved with a shortcut that they weren’t told about. Some participants were encouraged to take a nap before dealing with the problems. It was found that those who napped-and spent even just 30 seconds in the first, lightest stage of sleep-were 2.7 times more likely to figure out the math shortcut than those who stayed awake. But entering a deeper sleep stage had a negative effect. The benefits of napping are strongest for people who have sleep debt, such as shift workers, new parents and elderly people whose nighttime sleep is always interrupted. They all seem to get a boost through napping: a 2013 study focusing on such people, for example, showed that taking a nap during one’s night shift work reduced sleepiness and improved overall performance, even if people were slightly inactive as they came out of their nap-a phenomenon called “sleep inertia (惰性)”. There is something we can do to reduce sleep inertia. A 20-minute nap is good for recharging, and 60 to 90 minutes of sleep can be even more restorative. The nap to avoid is one lasting more than 20 minutes and less than 60 minutes, which is most likely to lead to sleep inertia. 12. What does the underlined word “hassle” mean in paragraph 2? A. Debate. B. Tendency. C. Guidance. D. Judgement. 13. What did the experiment find about napping? A. It improves memory. B. It helps clear one’s mind C. It may promote one’s health. D. It has a bad influence on people. 14. What can we infer about the subjects of the 2013 study? A. They tended to nap more. B. They were inactive in daytime. C. They came out of their naps slowly. D. They didn’t get enough nighttime sleep 15. How can we avoid sleep inertia? A. By taking fewer naps. B. By napping within 1 hour. C. By managing the nap length. D. By avoiding long naps. 二、七选五（共1小题：每小题3分，满分15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。 Nowadays, more and more people like going on trips during the holidays. ____16____.

Mark was born and brought up in California. The sun, the beaches, and the friends he’d known since kindergarten were all parts of his world. But at the age of 16, everything changed. His parents got new jobs in Ohio, and the family had to move there. It was a difficult decision, as it meant leaving behind everything Mark knew and loved. Along with the move came a new school for Mark. He felt upset every time he thought about saying goodbye to his former school. He was afraid of the change, like the new city, the new school, and the new people he would meet. He didn’t know if he could fit in or if he would be lonely there. After a long journey across the country, the family arrived and finally settled in Ohio. When it was time to go to his new school, Mark’s mind was filled with worries. What if the students were unfriendly and even cold? What if he couldn’t make any new friends? The next morning, Mark’s parents drove him to school. His heart was beating in his chest as they pulled up to a big brick building. He hugged his mom and dad, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the car. With each step towards the school gate, his anxiety grew. He felt like he was walking into a whole new world. Mark was greeted by a school secretary, who was very friendly. Seeing that Mark was nervous and shy, she decided to show Mark around the school yard first. Mark was led to the modern computer lab, the science lab, and the huge gym with a basketball court where Mark imagined trying out for the school team. As they walked around, Mark gradually felt the school seemed nice, starting to feel a little better. Finally, they got to the teaching building and headed for Mark’s new classroom, and Mark’s heart started racing again. The school secretary led him to the door and gave Mark an encouraging smile. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Mark looked at the classroom and felt a little nervous (紧张的). ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After some time, Mark realized that he could fall in love with the new class. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
