But when you get down to work and study in real life, one hour feels like a year. Why are we so interested in smartphones but easily bored of studying? ②It all boils down to something small and hard to see: dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is a something that makes people feel good. Our brains (大脑) give it out when we are happy. ③Playing on smartphones makes our brains give out more dopamine. For example, checking your phone for a text makes dopamine grow by 400%. But why? ④When we visit social media (社交媒体), we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will give ideas about things we post. This “magic of maybe” makes the dopamine system active. We get excited when thinking if we have messages from our friends. When we get their messages, our brains give out dopamine. And to get more dopamine, we go on using our phones. With this excitement, we won’t get bored easily. But studying doesn’t have such magic. ⑤What can we do to change that? ⑥According to scientists, apps can become less interesting if we don’t get any notices or change the screen colors to black and white. We can also set time limits (限制) on apps to stop us from using them for too long. As for studying, we could check our progress (进步) daily or weekly and give ourselves a prize. We could also use what we learn from the textbook in the real world. This will make study much more interesting. 13. According to the writer, how do students feel when they study? A. They get very interested. B. They feel that time goes slowly. C. They feel very happy. D. They get more dopamine. 14. Where can we put the underlined phrase “boils down to”? A. Eating too much meat —his health problems. B. Staying up too late—a lot of mistakes in the exam. C. His good grades—his good learning habits. D. His kindness—many friends he got. 15. What can we infer (推断) from this passage? A. When we get many “Likes (点赞)” on WeChat, our brain gives out dopamine. B Our brains give out dopamine before we exercise or get a prize. C. We are interested in smartphones but are easily bored of studying. D. Dopamine is the only thing that can make people happy. 16. What’s the structure (结构) of this passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】13. B 14. C 15. A 16. A 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕智能手机和学习时的不同感受展开，指出其根源在于多巴胺。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But when you get down to work and study in real life, one hour feels like a year.”可知，学习时感觉时间过得慢。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Why are we so interested in smartphones but easily bored of studying? ②It all boils down to something small and hard to see: dopamine (多巴胺).”可知，boils down to意为“归结为；根源在于”；C选项“好成绩根源在于良好学习习惯”符合该短语逻辑。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据“When we visit social media (社交媒体), we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will give ideas about things we post. This “magic of maybe” makes the dopamine system active.”可知，文中讲玩手机时因社交媒体的不确定性等让大脑释放多巴胺，可推断微信点赞可能使大脑释放多巴胺。故选A。 【16题详解】 篇章结构题。通读原文可知，①是总起提现象和问题，②-④是分析原因，⑤-⑥是解决方法，结构为“总-分-分”。故选A。 第二节 阅读短文, 从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有一个多余的选项。 阅读短文，从方框中所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有一个多余的选项。 Sometimes you find there’s nothing interesting on television.

A simple Internet search can help you find some in your area. D. Many people believe sport is important for our general health. E. Running isn’t always about how fast you are or how far you’re going. 【答案】17. B 18. A 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了跑步好处，并且介绍了跑步之前的准备工作。 【17题详解】 根据“No one wakes up and decides to run a marathon without training.”和“Runners have great respect for each other because they know how difficult the sport can be.”可知，后文提到了跑步并不是一件易事，选项B“但是不要认为跑步是一项容易的运动。”符合语境。故选B。 【18题详解】 根据“It makes you know more about your body.”以及“It can even help you keep your mind on school work because exercise helps you to think more clearly.”可知，此处提到了跑步对身体的好处。选项A“跑步使你的身体更强壮。”符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据“Most schools offer cross-country and track (越野赛和径赛) programs, but there are also running clubs open to all ages.”可知，设空处应填怎么获取适合自己的跑步俱乐部的信息，选项C“一个简单的互联网搜索可以帮助你在你的地区找到一些。”符合语境。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据“If you go to a race, you’ll see people cheering for all the runners, from the first place finisher to the last place finisher.”可知，应说每位参赛者都值得被鼓励，因为重在参与，选项E“跑步并不总是关于你有多快或你走了多远。”符合语境。故选E。 二、完形填空（共10小题, 每小题1分；满分10分） 阅读短文, 理解其大意。从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 根据短文内容，从各题的四个选项中选择一个最佳选项，并将其代表字母涂在答题卡的相应位置。 Jack and David live in the same neighborhood.

Why are we so interested in smartphones but easily bored of studying? ②It all boils down to something small and hard to see: dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is a something that makes people feel good. Our brains (大脑) give it out when we are happy. ③Playing on smartphones makes our brains give out more dopamine. For example, checking your phone for a text makes dopamine grow by 400%. But why? ④When we visit social media (社交媒体), we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will give ideas about things we post. This “magic of maybe” makes the dopamine system active. We get excited when thinking if we have messages from our friends. When we get their messages, our brains give out dopamine. And to get more dopamine, we go on using our phones. With this excitement, we won’t get bored easily. But studying doesn’t have such magic. ⑤What can we do to change that? ⑥According to scientists, apps can become less interesting if we don’t get any notices or change the screen colors to black and white. We can also set time limits (限制) on apps to stop us from using them for too long. As for studying, we could check our progress (进步) daily or weekly and give ourselves a prize. We could also use what we learn from the textbook in the real world. This will make study much more interesting. 13. According to the writer, how do students feel when they study? A. They get very interested. B. They feel that time goes slowly. C. They feel very happy. D. They get more dopamine. 14. Where can we put the underlined phrase “boils down to”? A. Eating too much meat —his health problems. B Staying up too late—a lot of mistakes in the exam. C. His good grades—his good learning habits. D. His kindness—many friends he got. 15. What can we infer (推断) from this passage? A. When we get many “Likes (点赞)” on WeChat, our brain gives out dopamine. B. Our brains give out dopamine before we exercise or get a prize. C. We are interested in smartphones but are easily bored of studying. D. Dopamine is the only thing that can make people happy. 16. What’s the structure (结构) of this passage? A. B. C. D. 第二节 阅读短文, 从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有一个多余的选项。 阅读短文，从方框中所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有一个多余的选项。 Sometimes you find there’s nothing interesting on television. Not a problem!
