The family who eats together What's the price of a family meal?For many families in the world's wealthiest countries,the answer seems to be,'too much'.For instance,in the United States,(21)is often a trendsetter in such things,the majority of families report eating a siagle mdal together fewer than five days a week.In fact,the frequency of shared meals (22)ecrease)in American families by 33 per cent over the last twenty years.The meals (23)have shortened too: from an average of 90 minutes to just 12 minutes. So perhaps we're better off asking ourselves(24)the cost of not eating together is. Once again,we could turn to the figures.The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has found that 15-year-olds who reported not regularly (25)(share)family meals were twice as likely to be absent from school.In Europe,research has suggested that children who don't eat dinner with their parents at least twice a week face a 40 per cent higher risk of fatness.Another study,(26)coiduct)by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University,found that kids who eat dinner with their parents five or more times a week are(27)(likely)to have problems with drugs and alcohol. But those numbers,(28)they seem impressive,may be beside the point.After all, having a meal together is more than just a preventive measure(29)ruture misfortune.The primary cost of the family meal is also the very thing that makes it important:time. The time spent together over food leads to all the positive outcomes that are measured in the studies.So,we might arrange for the family mealtime (30y act)as an occasion full of shared memories and feelings and ambitions. Section B Directions:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need. A.worries B.distractions C.charms D.perspective E.significantly F.productive G.distant H.contribute I.adjust J.strengthen K.underestimated Today's children are exhausted,and not just because one in three kids.is not getting enough sleep.Sleep deprivation in kids(who require at least nine hours a night,depending on age)has been found to 31 decrease academic achievement,lower intelligence test scores,slow physical growth,and32to moodiness and annoyance.While the argumept for protecting our children's sleep time is convincing,there is another kind of rest that is3 but beneficial to our children's academic,emotional,and creative lives:daydreaming. Not all mental downtime(停工休息期)is alike,of course.Downtime spent playing a video game or watching a television show may have its34-,but the kind of downtime I am talking about is different.I'm talking about the kind of mind-wandering that happens when the brain is free of interruption and allowed to get rid of the35 of the day.Television,video games,and other electronic36prevent this kind of mental wandering because they 高二英语第3页共下页 3 interrupt the flow of thoughts and memories that_37the foundation of positive,productive daydreaming. There is,however,another way of looking at mind wandering.For the individual,mind wandering offers the possibility of very real,personal reward,some immediate,some more 38.These rewards include self-awareness,memory consolidation,future planning, simulating the393 of another person,evaluating the implications of self and others' emotional reactions,moral reasoning. In other words,daydreaming only seems lazy from the outside,but viewed from the inside or from the perspective of a psychologist,such as Kaufman,or a neuroscientist,such as Mary Helen, a complicated and extremely 40 neurological process is taking place.Viewed from the inside,our children are exploring the only space where they truly have autonomy:their own minds Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension（31分) SectionA Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Good news for awkward teenagers around the world.As time goes by,you could41up like a completely different person. This comes from the longest running personality study ever 42 by scientists.According to researchers from the University of Edinburgh in the U.K,our personality changes so much from youth to old age that most people's personalities in older age are barely 43 compared to their younger selves. The researchers analyzed results from a study in 1947,which gathered 1,208 teenagers in Scotland aged 14 and asked their teachers to 44.Their personalities based on six traits( 征) Now more than six decades later,the University of Edinburgh team has managed to contact 635 of the45students,and 174 agreed to have their personalities tested once more. At an average age of 76.7 years old,the group were asked to 46themselves on the same six personality traits,then pick a close friend or family member to do the same. By47 the then-and-now test results,the researchers found that there is hardly a relationship between traits people had as teenagers and those in their older years. It was "as if the second tests had been given to 48 people,"the study's researchers wrote in their report,which was published in journal Psychology and Aging. The results were a surprise because research in the past found personality 49 in people tested from childhood to middle-age,and from middle-age to older age. As the team explained,our personality appears stable over short intervals---50so throughout adulthood.51,the longer the intervals between two tests of personality,the 52..the relationship between the two tends to be. It is clear that more studies are needed to find out what is going on here.But it could be the first 53that is not just our cells that are being 54throughout life--the way we think. feel and behave might not be as 55 as we once thought. 高<英语第4页共：7页 4 D.cheer 41.A.hold B.go C.end D.made up 42.

Frank Holmes,the chair of the Cardiff Capital Region's Economic Growth Partnership,is figuring out how Wales,which has abundant renewable energy sources,can attract global investment ranging from AI to advanced engineering. If Wales wants to find its place in the green revolution,it can learn something from Costa Rica.This Central American country has announced that 99%of its energy will come from renewables.As digitization is very energy-intensive,businesses are facing great pressure to become more sustainable.The prospect of clean energy gives Costa Rica a unique competitive advantage and forms the basis of its strategy to become a global semiconductor hub with US support. So,if Costa Rica can do it,why not Wales?The Cardiff Capital Region(CCR),which covers the 10 local authorities in southeast Wales,is already home to a major area of compound semiconductors in Europe,fueling its extensive local supply chain. But why not think bigger?AI can have a profitable future.The complexity of generating human-like answers means that AI uses about ten times as much power as normal.Google search and studies suggest that AI could consume as much energy as the Netherlands by 2027.Before Al, data centers had to be close to users to minimize delay time.But with Al,this is no longer the case. If Wales can transition quickly enough,it can attract these industries with cheap and clean energy and support strong clusters that are crucial to economic growth.This will create high-value jobs,attract and retain graduates,which in turn will attract more businesses and so on. This virtuous cycle,which economists call agglomeration,is responsible for nearly every piece of innovation in the modern economy,from the Covid-19 vaccine to the technology in our 5 smartphones. The energy transition must not be seen only as a virtuous pursuit or a fiscal burden,but as a golden opportunity to attract the industries of the future.Wales must learn from the commercial incentives of its neighbors but go a step further,embracing quality,depth,endurance,and the duality of"doing well and doing good".The facts are simple. These technologies need a lot of green power,and Wales has the natural assots to create it. We must use them,seize the first-mover advantage,and act while the opportunity is hot 56.What was special about Costa Rica? A.It has a lot of competitions. B.It has a clean road. C.It is a global semiconductor hub D.It has a unique name. 37.From the text,what does the"case"in paragraph 4 mean? A.AI could consume as much energy as the Netherlands by 2027. B.AI can have a profitable future. C.Data centers should be closed without AI.7 D.Data centers had to be near to users to reduce delay. 58.What is the author's attitude toward Wales? A.positive B.doubtful C.neutral D.negative 59.Which one is the best title of the passage? A.What Wales can learn from Costa Rica? B.Energy and environment C.Can a semiconductor hub be created? D.The green power and the technology Section C Directions:Read the following passages.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A.The good thing is that self-control can be developed. B.Generally speaking,you need to practise a lot. C.Your emotions are well served by meditation as well. D.Here are some powerful techniques that can help you improve your ability to focus. E.There are still some disadvantages of exercises. F.There are many benefits of exercising. Focus is an important part of success and achievement in general.Many things can become distractions(分散注意力).Your ability to focus your mind,.emotions,.and physical movements will directly influence your success.Staying focused on the task at hand can be easier said than done.(60) For physical control,it helps to have a constant exercise schedule.(61) Exercising helps you gain better command of your body,and even goes beyond the body,giving you more flexibility not just physically but also emotionally and mentally.When you feel more comfortable in your body,you increase your self-confidence,which helps you feel more relaxed. For mental control,meditation(沉思；冥想)does the task.It helps block out all the noise and activities that are going on around you.It's easy to get distracted by things in your background, 6 but in order to perform well you have to maintain a high degree of focus.When you relax your thoughts,it trains your mind to deal effectively with outside distractions so you can stay centered on what matters most at the moment. (62)It prevents you from overreaction and also from overacting.When your emotions settle down,you gain greater awareness of the environment you're in,and feel calm and in control. In short,focus requires self-control.(63)Start exercising frequently,get yourself into meditation,and start to feel positive changes in your career and your life in general.
