I tried to lower levels of the stress hormone by following the conventional wisdom: get some exercise, get enough sleep, maintain a healthy work-life balance. But following this prescription only works during the least stressful times. I’m a lifelong novelty seeker. What I enjoyed included hitchhiking across the state and going for a bungee jumping. This penchant served me well in my second year of graduate school. As the pressure to pass my qualifying exam was mounting, I needed some kind of release. So, I invited one of my fellow graduate students to come swimming with me — in a river, in the middle of winter. The moment I plunged into the freezing water, I immediately felt a surge of energy and fear. Quickly coming back the surface, I gulped cold air and slowly got into amore focused state. I stayed in the water as long as I could, my skin burning from the cold. My friend and I agreed it was a real rush and that we would come back the next weekend. And so it became our weekly routine. Although the energizing rush of adrenaline (肾上腺素) was the initial pleasure, I found the plunge had other unexpected benefits, too. Stimulating my sympathetic nervous system in the short term had a comforting effect in the long term. I noticed I was approaching my work with a calmer state of mind and taking the failures easier. The seasons changed and the water was no longer cold, but the stresses of graduate school remained. I began to explore other types of activities that would have the same effects I had felt from the cold winter swims. Among my adrenaline-inducing activities now are mountain biking, rock climbing, or listening to metal music on my walk to work. If it is really necessary, merely taking a cold shower can do the trick. Long after I return to the lab, my focused, energetic mindset persists. Regular adrenaline-inducing activities can be an invaluable tool. After long hours of lab work, it is hard to motivate myself to sit down to write my thesis. So before I get started, I should probably take a cold shower for my healthy dose of adrenaline. 4. What does the underlined word penchant probably mean? A. Thought. B. Fondness. C. Prescription. D. Combination. 5. What sport functions best to energize the rush of adrenaline? A. Road biking. B. Pool swimming. C. Park jogging. D. Bungee jumping. 6. Which of the following best describes adrenaline-inducing activities? A. Intense. B. Changeable. C. Relaxing. D. Innovative. 7. Which of the following can be the best title? A. Adrenaline, fuel of soul B. Adventure, door to happiness C. Hormone, wing of growth D. Exercise, recipe for success 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过冬泳等肾上腺素诱导活动缓解压力，发现这类高强度活动能提升专注力，成为应对压力的有效方式。 4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“I’m a lifelong novelty seeker. What I enjoyed included hitchhiking across the state and going for a bungee jumping.(我是个永远乐于尝试新事物的人。我曾喜欢的事情包括徒步穿越整个州以及尝试蹦极运动)”可知，此处指作者爱好尝试蹦极运动。故划线词意思是“爱好”。故选B。 5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What I enjoyed included hitchhiking across the state and going for a bungee jumping.(我曾喜欢的事情包括徒步穿越整个州以及尝试蹦极运动)”以及第三段中的“ And so it became our weekly routine. Although the energizing rush of adrenaline ( 肾上腺素 ) was the initial pleasure, I found the plunge had other unexpected benefits, too. Stimulating my sympathetic nervous system in the short term had a comforting effect in the long term. (因此，这成为了我们每周的固定活动。虽然最初让我感到愉悦的是肾上腺素激增带来的兴奋感，但我也意外地发现，这种冷水浸泡还有其他意想不到的好处。短期内对交感神经系统的刺激，在长期来看反而带来了令人安心的效果。)”可知，具有刺激性的运动会激发肾上腺素的分泌，由此可知，缆绳蹦极属于最能激发人体内肾上腺素的分泌。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Although the energizing rush of adrenaline (肾上腺素) was the initial pleasure, I found the plunge had other unexpected benefits, too.(虽然肾上腺素带来的兴奋感是最初的愉悦，但我发现这种下水的体验还有其他意想不到的好处)”可知，激发肾上腺素分泌的活动是剧烈的。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Regular adrenaline-inducing activities can be an invaluable tool. After long hours of lab work, it is hard to motivate myself to sit down to write my thesis. So before I get started, I should probably take a cold shower for my healthy dose of adrenaline.(经常进行能刺激肾上腺素分泌的活动是一种非常宝贵的工具。在长时间的实验室工作之后，很难让自己坐下来撰写论文。所以在开始之前，我或许应该冲个冷水澡，让自己获得适量的肾上腺素刺激)”可知，A选项“肾上腺素，灵魂的燃料”最符合文章标题。故选A。 C With the growing trend of listening to stories on meditation apps(冥想应用), travel tales—sometimes featuring surrounding sounds of places such as rainforests in Borneo—are helping people get restful sleep. Imagine a voice softly telling as listeners close their eyes and snuggle down in their beds. Are you paying attention? Actually, it doesn’t matter. According to the CDC, some 70 million Americans struggle with chronic sleep problems. To help with this, many adults are bringing back bedtime stories through meditation apps. Nearly a third of the Calm app’s 300 bedtime stories, which have been listened to more than 450 million times, are about travel. Some 45% of the bedtime stories on the app Breethe are travel-related. Earlier this year, half of the top 10 bedtime stories were travel-themed. Travel bedtime stories are typically an audio retelling of a trip and rely heavily on descriptions, with occasional surrounding noises like ocean waves, train tracks, or soft music. Train stories are particularly popular at bedtime. “You need movement in a bedtime story—if things are static(静止的), it’s too dull and the listener will get restless,” says Martha Bayless, a professor at the University of Oregon’s Folklore and Public Culture Program. “But the movement has to be non-threatening and soothing. The train is the perfect vehicle for sleep, engaging the senses in a gentle way.” One possible reason why travel bedtime stories calm our brains is “mirror neurons(镜像神经元),” says Rachel Salas, a neurologist at Johns Hopkins Center for Sleep and Wellness. “These brain cells might combine our own experiences with someone else’s. For example, a tale of train travel could bring a sense of nostalgia(怀旧)for our own past journeys. The comforting sense of something familiar can help with relaxation and sleep. Additionally, the sound of a train chugging along the tracks serves as a type of white noise that lulls people to sleep,” Salas adds. “In most travel bedtime stories, nothing much happens,” says Bayless. “The bedtime stories are about the quiet period between adventures, which is what sleep is also about.” 8. In which aspect do people benefit from travel tales? A. Promoting sleep. B. Inspiring imagination. C. Improving concentration. D. Gaining travel information. 9. What do the numbers in paragraph 2 mainly indicate? A. Most adults suffer a lot from a lack of sleep. B. Adequate quality sleep is essential to human health. C. Meditation apps help people reduce stress effectively. D. Travel-related bedtime stories are more appealing to listeners. 10. Rachel Salas’s words in paragraph 4 serve as ______. A. evidence of the significance of mirror neurons B. an explanation as to why travel tales help with sleep C. a description of adventurous travel experiences D. an analysis of how sleep affects people’s memory 11. In which section of a newspaper may this article appear? A. Travel. B. Opinion. C. Entertainment. D. Science. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍旅行故事可以帮助人们获得宁静的睡眠并从科学角度解释了它的原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“With the growing trend of listening to stories on meditation apps(冥想应用), travel tales—sometimes featuring surrounding sounds of places such as rainforests in Borneo—are helping people get restful sleep. (随着在冥想应用程序上听故事的趋势越来越大，有时以婆罗洲雨林等地周围的声音为特色的旅行故事正在帮助人们获得宁静的睡眠。)”可知，旅行故事可以帮助人们获得宁静的睡眠。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to the CDC, some 70 million Americans struggle with chronic sleep problems. To help with this, many adults are bringing back bedtime stories through meditation apps. Nearly a third of the Calm app’s 300 bedtime stories, which have been listened to more than 450 million times, are about travel. Some 45% of the bedtime stories on the app Breethe are travel-related. Earlier this year, half of the top 10 bedtime stories were travel-themed. (根据美国疾病预防控制中心的数据，大约有7000万美国人患有慢性睡眠问题。为了帮助解决这个问题，许多成年人正在通过冥想应用程序带回睡前故事。Calm应用程序的300个睡前故事中，有近三分之一是关于旅行的，这些故事已被收听超过4.5亿次。Breethe应用上约45%的睡前故事与旅行有关。今年早些时候，前十大睡前故事中有一半是以旅行为主题的。)”可知，与旅行有关的睡前故事对听众很有吸引力。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“One possible reason why travel bedtime stories calm our brains is “mirror neurons(镜像神经元),” says Rachel Salas, a neurologist at Johns Hopkins Center for Sleep and Wellness. “These brain cells might combine our own experiences with someone else’s. For example, a tale of train travel could bring a sense of nostalgia(怀旧)for our own past journeys. The comforting sense of something familiar can help with relaxation and sleep. Additionally, the sound of a train chugging along the tracks serves as a type of white noise that lulls people to sleep,” Salas adds. (约翰斯·霍普金斯睡眠与健康中心的神经学家雷切尔·萨拉斯（Rachel Salas）说，睡前旅行故事让我们的大脑平静下来的一个可能原因是“镜像神经元”。“这些脑细胞可能会将我们自己的经历与他人的经历结合起来。例如，火车旅行的故事可能会给我们过去的旅程带来怀旧感。熟悉事物的舒适感有助于放松和睡眠。此外，火车在铁轨上隆隆作响的声音也是一种白噪音，能让人入睡。”萨拉斯补充道。)”可知，Rachel Salas的话解释了旅行故事帮助人们睡眠的原因。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“With the growing trend of listening to stories on meditation apps(冥想应用), travel tales—sometimes featuring surrounding sounds of places such as rainforests in Borneo—are helping people get restful sleep. (随着在冥想应用程序上听故事的趋势越来越大，有时以婆罗洲雨林等地周围的声音为特色的旅行故事正在帮助人们获得宁静的睡眠。)”和第四段“One possible reason why travel bedtime stories calm our brains is “mirror neurons(镜像神经元),” says Rachel Salas, a neurologist at Johns Hopkins Center for Sleep and Wellness. (约翰斯·霍普金斯睡眠与健康中心的神经学家雷切尔·萨拉斯（Rachel Salas）说，睡前旅行故事让我们的大脑平静下来的一个可能原因是“镜像神经元”。)可知，这篇文章主要介绍旅行故事可以帮助人们获得宁静的睡眠并从科学角度解释了它的原因。所以它属于科学相关的文章，应该是来源于科学部分。故选D。 D Fresh fish should have a mild smell. Strong fishy smells are the first signs to go bad. How do the fishy smells come from? It can be several days from when the fish are caught to when they reach the supermarket. In that time, bacteria that grow naturally in fish start to consume a substance called trimethylamine N-oxide(TMAO)in fish. These bacteria change TMAO into trimethylamine (TMA), the substance responsible for the fishy smells. Bacteria in fish can also change lysine(赖氨酸)into cadaverine(尸胺), a substance that’s associated with breaking down the fish once they are caught and giving off fishy smell. Chemical reactions can also lead to fishy smells. This happens through the oxidation(氧化)of fat. Fish are an important source of omega-3 fatty acids. When these fats are exposed to oxygen, they oxidize and break down into the substance that you can smell. To slow down the fishy smell, what is beyond question is that the less time between when the fish are caught and when they reach the kitchen, the better. But today, fish are often flown across the globe. To keep smell-producing bacteria at bay, the fish must be frozen or kept at the low temperature possible as soon as they are caught and cleaned. Controlling fat oxidation can function as well, especially for fattier fish species. While freezing slows bacterial growth, it does not stop fat oxidation. This reaction will occur as long as oxygen is present. Fatty fish are usually not frozen because, despite the cold temperature, they’re going to oxidize pretty fast unless they are stored in a low oxygen container. That’s why those species are often canned. It’s also important to remember that smell is not always an indicator of safety, especially in processed fish products. “What you might consider the fishy smell may be a delicacy in another culture,” said Carl A. Batt, a professor of food science at Cornell University. 12. Which of the following has the fishy smell? A. Fish fat. B. TMAO. C. Cadaverine. D. Lysine. 13. What is the best way to reduce the fishy smell of fat fish species? A. Drying them in the air. B. Storing them in closed containers. C. Carefully cleaning them. D. Exposing them to rich oxygen. 14. What is Carl A. Batt’s attitude to the fishy smell? A. Objective. B. Negative. C. Acceptable. D. Unclear. 15. How is the text organized? A. Topic—Example—Conclusion. B. Topic—Comparison—Opinion. C. Question——Cause——Solution. D. Question—Effect—Opinion. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了鱼腥味产生的原因以及减少鱼腥味的方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“Bacteria in fish can also change lysine(赖氨酸)into cadaverine(尸胺), a substance that’s associated with breaking down the fish once they are caught and giving off fishy smell.( 鱼类中的细菌还可以将赖氨酸转化为尸胺，这种物质与鱼类被捕获后分解并散发出腥味有关。)”可知，有鱼腥味的是尸胺。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。文章倒数第二段讲到“This reaction will occur as long as oxygen is present. Fatty fish are usually not frozen because, despite the cold temperature, they’re going to oxidize pretty fast unless they are stored in a low oxygen container. That’s why those species are often canned. (只要存在氧气，就会发生这种反应。脂肪鱼通常不会冷冻，因为尽管温度很低，但除非储存在低氧容器中，否则它们会很快氧化。这就是为什么这些物种经常被罐装的原因)”可知，减少肥鱼鱼腥味的最好方法是将它们储存在封闭的容器中。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“What you might consider the fishy smell may be a delicacy in another culture (或许你认为的这种鱼腥味在另一种文化中可能是一种美味)”可知，Carl A. Batt对鱼腥味的态度上客观的。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段讲到“How do the fishy smells come from? (鱼腥味是怎么来的？)”提出问题，第二段讲到“It can be several days from when the fish are caught to when they reach the supermarket. (从鱼被捕获到到达超市可能需要几天时间。)”以及第三段讲到“Chemical reactions can also lead to fishy smells. (化学反应也会产生腥味)”是鱼腥味产生的原因，第四段讲到 “To slow down the fishy smell, what is beyond question is that the less time between when the fish are caught and when they reach the kitchen, the better. (为了减缓鱼的腥味，毫无疑问的是，从鱼被捕获到到达厨房的时间越短越好。)”，第五段讲到“Controlling fat oxidation can function as well, especially for fattier fish species. (控制脂肪氧化也可以发挥作用，尤其是对脂肪含量较高的鱼类。)”和第六段讲到“It’s also important to remember that smell is not always an indicator of safety, especially in processed fish products. (同样重要的是要记住，气味并不总是安全的指标，尤其是在加工鱼类产品中。)”是解决方案。可知，这篇文章的组织结构是：问题——原因——解决方案。故选C。 第二节 七选五（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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With data shaping everything from healthcare breakthroughs to the latest entertainment trends, data scientists are at the heart of some of the most exciting innovations happening right now. ____16____ In the simplest terms, data scientists are the problem-solvers of the digital age.

Every October, my neighborhood has a Halloween costume contest with a different theme. And every October, my neighbor Ollie and I race to the announcement board in the park to find it out. But this year, the theme was kind of, well, theme-less. “‘Be creative’?” I said, reading the announcement board. “That’s not really a theme, is it?” Ollie hopped off (跳下) his skateboard to get a closer look. “You’re right,” he agreed. “Now that’s the creative spirit we need for this challenge!” I proposed that we should start by choosing some cool costume - making materials. Just at that time, Ollie scooped up (捧起) a bunch of fallen leaves and exclaimed he had got a brilliant idea. Seized by confusion, I asked, “You’re going to make an entire costume out of leaves?” Seemed to be amused by my look, he grinned and scooped up some more. “Why not?” he said, “They’ re totally free, and I can guarantee, no one will be a tree as great as me.” Upon hearing that, I added that now that was the creative spirit We need for this challenge! “Aw, come on,” I said. “You should be flattered that I like your idea so much. Plus, I just thought of the perfect way to make branches.” Luckily, Ollie said OK. We ended up filling two jumbo bags with different kinds of leaves. Ollie’s grandma helped get us set up with tons of excellent costume-making supplies, and we worked forever! At last, when we were finally in the homestretch, I complained. “I’m so tired of gluing leaves.” When we were done, we tried on part of our costumes, and we could tell they really would be fantastic. It took us hours to get ready the next morning, and we probably lost half our leaves shuffling over to the park. Still, when it was time for contestants to line up in the judging area, I felt pretty proud. However, after a few minutes, I started having another feeling. As I was standing there in the costume, the feeling got worse, and worse, and worse until I was so itchy (痒), I just had to scratch (挠). I started wiggling (摇动；扭动) around uncomfortably. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph1: And when I looked over at Ollie, he was doing the same thing! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: At that moment, Mr. Lee, the host of this year’s Halloween costume contest, called for everyone’s attention. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 And when I looked over at Ollie, he was doing the same thing! “This is the worst!” he whispered as he wiggled. “I feel like I’ m covered with a million mosquito bites.” “Me too,” I whispered back. “I wanted to get out of this costume right away!” But after exchanging a look with each other, we still hesitated since the result of the “creative” contest had not been announced and we were afraid that what we did before would make no sense. Overwhelmed by the nervousness and tolerating the strong itchy feelings, we just kept wiggling around, with our “leaves” trembling uncontrollably. At that moment, Mr. Lee, the host of this year’s Halloween costume contest, called for everyone’s attention. “The winners of our ‘Be Creative’ costume contest are these two magnificent trees!” he announced excitedly with a beaming face. “Fabulous work!” he added and praised that they especially liked the little dance that made it look as if our leaves were rustling in the wind. The great news was, we actually won the contest! The not-so-great news came when we found out why we were so itchy — one of the many kinds of leaves we gathered turned out to be poison oak! What an unforgettable Halloween costume contest! 【解析】 【导语】本文以一次万圣节服装比赛为线索展开，讲述了作者和邻居Ollie用落叶制作“树人”造型的服装参赛，并在过程中经历身体不适但最终获奖的故事。尽管他们的创意服装让他们奇痒难忍，但他们坚持到底并意外获胜，最后发现瘙痒是因误用了毒藤叶，从而成就了一次难忘的经历。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我看Ollie的时候，他也在做同样的事情！”可知，第一段可描写两人因穿着叶子服装而感到瘙痒难忍但仍坚持等待比赛结果的心理活动和行为表现。。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在那一刻，今年万圣节服装大赛的主持人Mr. Lee呼吁大家注意。”可知，第二段可描写主持人宣布他们获奖的过程以及揭示瘙痒原因的情节，突出故事的戏剧性和幽默感。 2. 续写线索：瘙痒难忍——相视苦笑却不愿放弃——强忍等待主持人宣布获奖——惊喜万分——揭示真相（毒藤叶）——难忘的比赛 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①耳语：whispered/murmured/said in a low voice ②交换表情：exchanging a look/making eye contact/looking at each other silently ③宣布：announce/declare/proclaim ④聚集：gathered/collected 情绪类 ①紧张：nervousness/anxiety/tension/unease ②兴奋地：excitedly/enthusiastically 【点睛】【高分句型1】But after exchanging a look with each other, we still hesitated since the result of the “creative” contest had not been announced and we were afraid that what we did before would make no sense.(运用了since引导的原因状语从句、that引导的宾语从句和what引导的主语从句) 【高分句型2】The not-so-great news came when we found out why we were so itchy — one of the many kinds of leaves we gathered turned out to be poison oak!(运用了when引导的时间状语从句、why引导的宾语从句和省略了引导词的定语从句修饰名词leaves) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 武汉市武钢三中高二年级10月 英语月考 本试卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。考试时间:2025年9月27日上午8:00—10:00 ★祝考试顺利★ 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.

I tried to lower levels of the stress hormone by following the conventional wisdom: get some exercise, get enough sleep, maintain a healthy work-life balance. But following this prescription only works during the least stressful times. I’m a lifelong novelty seeker. What I enjoyed included hitchhiking across the state and going for a bungee jumping. This penchant served me well in my second year of graduate school. As the pressure to pass my qualifying exam was mounting, I needed some kind of release. So, I invited one of my fellow graduate students to come swimming with me — in a river, in the middle of winter. The moment I plunged into the freezing water, I immediately felt a surge of energy and fear. Quickly coming back the surface, I gulped cold air and slowly got into amore focused state. I stayed in the water as long as I could, my skin burning from the cold. My friend and I agreed it was a real rush and that we would come back the next weekend. And so it became our weekly routine. Although the energizing rush of adrenaline (肾上腺素) was the initial pleasure, I found the plunge had other unexpected benefits, too. Stimulating my sympathetic nervous system in the short term had a comforting effect in the long term. I noticed I was approaching my work with a calmer state of mind and taking the failures easier. The seasons changed and the water was no longer cold, but the stresses of graduate school remained. I began to explore other types of activities that would have the same effects I had felt from the cold winter swims. Among my adrenaline-inducing activities now are mountain biking, rock climbing, or listening to metal music on my walk to work. If it is really necessary, merely taking a cold shower can do the trick. Long after I return to the lab, my focused, energetic mindset persists. Regular adrenaline-inducing activities can be an invaluable tool. After long hours of lab work, it is hard to motivate myself to sit down to write my thesis. So before I get started, I should probably take a cold shower for my healthy dose of adrenaline. 4. What does the underlined word penchant probably mean? A. Thought. B. Fondness. C. Prescription. D. Combination. 5. What sport functions best to energize the rush of adrenaline? A. Road biking. B. Pool swimming. C. Park jogging. D. Bungee jumping. 6. Which of the following best describes adrenaline-inducing activities? A. Intense. B. Changeable. C. Relaxing. D. Innovative. 7. Which of the following can be the best title? A. Adrenaline fuel of soul B. Adventure, door to happiness C. Hormone, wing of growth D. Exercise, recipe for success C With the growing trend of listening to stories on meditation apps(冥想应用), travel tales—sometimes featuring surrounding sounds of places such as rainforests in Borneo—are helping people get restful sleep. Imagine a voice softly telling as listeners close their eyes and snuggle down in their beds. Are you paying attention? Actually, it doesn’t matter. According to the CDC, some 70 million Americans struggle with chronic sleep problems. To help with this, many adults are bringing back bedtime stories through meditation apps. Nearly a third of the Calm app’s 300 bedtime stories, which have been listened to more than 450 million times, are about travel. Some 45% of the bedtime stories on the app Breethe are travel-related. Earlier this year, half of the top 10 bedtime stories were travel-themed. Travel bedtime stories are typically an audio retelling of a trip and rely heavily on descriptions, with occasional surrounding noises like ocean waves, train tracks, or soft music. Train stories are particularly popular at bedtime. “You need movement in a bedtime story—if things are static(静止的), it’s too dull and the listener will get restless,” says Martha Bayless, a professor at the University of Oregon’s Folklore and Public Culture Program. “But the movement has to be non-threatening and soothing. The train is the perfect vehicle for sleep, engaging the senses in a gentle way.” One possible reason why travel bedtime stories calm our brains is “mirror neurons(镜像神经元),” says Rachel Salas, a neurologist at Johns Hopkins Center for Sleep and Wellness. “These brain cells might combine our own experiences with someone else’s. For example, a tale of train travel could bring a sense of nostalgia(怀旧)for our own past journeys. The comforting sense of something familiar can help with relaxation and sleep. Additionally, the sound of a train chugging along the tracks serves as a type of white noise that lulls people to sleep,” Salas adds. “In most travel bedtime stories, nothing much happens,” says Bayless. “The bedtime stories are about the quiet period between adventures, which is what sleep is also about.” 8. In which aspect do people benefit from travel tales? A. Promoting sleep. B. Inspiring imagination. C. Improving concentration. D. Gaining travel information. 9. What do the numbers in paragraph 2 mainly indicate? A. Most adults suffer a lot from a lack of sleep. B. Adequate quality sleep is essential to human health. C. Meditation apps help people reduce stress effectively. D. Travel-related bedtime stories are more appealing to listeners. 10. Rachel Salas’s words in paragraph 4 serve as ______. A. evidence of the significance of mirror neurons B. an explanation as to why travel tales help with sleep C. a description of adventurous travel experiences D. an analysis of how sleep affects people’s memory 11. In which section of a newspaper may this article appear? A. Travel. B. Opinion. C. Entertainment. D. Science. D Fresh fish should have a mild smell. Strong fishy smells are the first signs to go bad. How do the fishy smells come from? It can be several days from when the fish are caught to when they reach the supermarket. In that time, bacteria that grow naturally in fish start to consume a substance called trimethylamine N-oxide(TMAO)in fish. These bacteria change TMAO into trimethylamine (TMA), the substance responsible for the fishy smells. Bacteria in fish can also change lysine(赖氨酸)into cadaverine(尸胺), a substance that’s associated with breaking down the fish once they are caught and giving off fishy smell. Chemical reactions can also lead to fishy smells. This happens through the oxidation(氧化)of fat. Fish are an important source of omega-3 fatty acids. When these fats are exposed to oxygen, they oxidize and break down into the substance that you can smell. To slow down the fishy smell, what is beyond question is that the less time between when the fish are caught and when they reach the kitchen, the better. But today, fish are often flown across the globe. To keep smell-producing bacteria at bay, the fish must be frozen or kept at the low temperature possible as soon as they are caught and cleaned. Controlling fat oxidation can function as well, especially for fattier fish species. While freezing slows bacterial growth, it does not stop fat oxidation. This reaction will occur as long as oxygen is present. Fatty fish are usually not frozen because, despite the cold temperature, they’re going to oxidize pretty fast unless they are stored in a low oxygen container. That’s why those species are often canned. It’s also important to remember that smell is not always an indicator of safety, especially in processed fish products. “What you might consider the fishy smell may be a delicacy in another culture,” said Carl A. Batt, a professor of food science at Cornell University. 12. Which of the following has the fishy smell? A. Fish fat. B. TMAO. C. Cadaverine. D. Lysine. 13. What is the best way to reduce the fishy smell of fat fish species? A. Drying them in the air. B. Storing them in closed containers. C. Carefully cleaning them. D. Exposing them to rich oxygen. 14.

Every October, my neighborhood has a Halloween costume contest with a different theme. And every October, my neighbor Ollie and I race to the announcement board in the park to find it out. But this year, the theme was kind of, well, theme-less. “‘Be creative’?” I said, reading the announcement board. “That’s not really a theme, is it?” Ollie hopped off (跳下) his skateboard to get a closer look. “You’re right,” he agreed. “Now that’s the creative spirit we need for this challenge!” I proposed that we should start by choosing some cool costume - making materials Just at that time, Ollie scooped up (捧起) a bunch of fallen leaves and exclaimed he had got a brilliant idea. Seized by confusion, I asked, “You’re going to make an entire costume out of leaves?” Seemed to be amused by my look, he grinned and scooped up some more. “Why not?” he said, “They’ re totally free, and I can guarantee, no one will be a tree as great as me.” Upon hearing that, I added that now that was the creative spirit We need for this challenge! “Aw, come on,” I said. “You should be flattered that I like your idea so much. Plus, I just thought of the perfect way to make branches.” Luckily, Ollie said OK. We ended up filling two jumbo bags with different kinds of leaves. Ollie’s grandma helped get us set up with tons of excellent costume-making supplies, and we worked forever! At last, when we were finally in the homestretch, I complained. “I’m so tired of gluing leaves.” When we were done, we tried on part of our costumes, and we could tell they really would be fantastic. It took us hours to get ready the next morning, and we probably lost half our leaves shuffling over to the park. Still, when it was time for contestants to line up in the judging area, I felt pretty proud. However, after a few minutes, I started having another feeling. As I was standing there in the costume, the feeling got worse, and worse, and worse until I was so itchy (痒), I just had to scratch (挠). I started wiggling (摇动；扭动) around uncomfortably. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph1: And when I looked over at Ollie, he was doing the same thing! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: At that moment, Mr. Lee, the host of this year’s Halloween costume contest, called for everyone’s attention. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
