But when you get down to your study, you feel like one hour is like a year. Why are people so crazy about smartphones but easily bored with studying or working? It’s all because of something called dopamine (多巴胺). It can make people feel good. Our brains release (释放) it when we eat good food, after we do some exercise or when we receive some prizes. The more dopamine is released, the happier people feel. Compared with studying, playing on smartphones causes our brains to release more dopamine. For example, checking your phone leads to an increase of 400 percent in dopamine. But why? When we are using our smartphones, we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will express his or her opinions on our posts. This uncertainty makes the dopamine system active. We get excited wondering if we have comments (评论) from our friends. When the expectation is met, dopamine is released. And to get more dopamine, we continue checking our smartphones. Studying doesn’t provide such uncertainty, so we get bored much more easily. Can we do something to change that? According to experts, we can change the screen colors. We can also set alarms to avoid using smartphones for too long. As for studying, we could check our progress daily or weekly and reward (奖赏) ourselves for it. We could also look for interesting things that have something to do with the textbook. We could use what we have learned to make a difference in the real world. These will make the knowledge much more interesting. 8. How do we feel when we are studying according to Para. 1? A We are really happy. B. Time passes more slowly. C. We become hungry easily. D. Playing on smartphones is boring. 9. When do our brains release dopamine? A. Before we fall asleep. B. After we are punished. C. Before we do some exercise. D. When we have delicious meals. 10. What does Para. 4 mainly tell us? A. What dopamine is and how it influences our daily life. B. Playing on smartphones is the best way to help us relax. C. Studying is much more helpful than playing on smartphones. D. Why more dopamine is released when we play on smartphones. 11. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To tell us how to look for interesting things. B. To show how to make our study less boring. C. To tell us why we should check our progress. D. To show why we should reward ourselves. D CO2 is naturally found in the air, but human activity has greatly increased the amount. The build-up of CO2 is one of the main causes of global warming. To deal with this problem, scientists say large amounts of CO2 must be removed from the air. Many people around the world are working on ways of removing CO2 from the air and storing it But these methods are expensive and don’t capture (捕获) much CO2. Scientists in California have created a new material called COF-999, which can remove large amounts of CO2 from the air. To test COF-999, the scientists filled a small tube (管) with the material. They then sent air from outside their lab through the tube for 20 days. Though there was CO2 in the air outside, the air that came out of the tube had no CO2 at all. The discovery was exciting for the scientists. COF-999 has many advantages. It captures CO2 about 10 times faster than other materials. The scientists say that half a pound of the material can pull as much CO2 from the air as a tree can. But unlike trees, COF-999 can capture CO2 even when it’s dark outside. Most importantly, COF-999 can be used over and over again. The scientists have already tested reusing the material up to 300 times. They believe it could be reused thousands of times. Now, the scientists are still working on COF-999. They hope that soon it will be able to remove twice as much CO2 as it does now. The scientists believe that COF-999 will be widely used in the future. 12. What do the underlined words “this problem” refer to? A. The air. B. Human activity. C. The cause. D. Global warming. 13. What does the third paragraph talk about? A. How COF-999 was tested. B. How COF-999 was created. C. How much CO2 was removed. D. How important the discovery was. 14. Which of the following are the advantages of COF-999? ① It can be reused. ② It is simple to make. ③ It can capture CO2 at night. ④ It works faster than other materials. A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④ 15. Which is the best title for the passage? A. The Mystery of Nature B. A New Material for Capturing CO2 C. A Growing Environmental Problem D. The Influence of CO2 on the Environment 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Clearly, the number one reason that people choose to work with a GPS unit is the feeling of freedom.

Each run I wanted to go a little farther, run a little faster and burn more calories (卡路里). Last night I finished an 8.3 km run in 46 minutes and burnt 468 calories. In comparison, my run two days ago was 8.6 km in 46 minutes with 483 calories burnt. This inner self-comparison left me feeling disappointed. I became so focused on the numbers that I forgot to consider what I achieved. These tiny differences in numbers kept me away from the bigger picture: how did I actually feel after completing my most recent run? Well, honestly, I was completely tired out. What good is running to beat your top score if you don’t feel on top? We should exercise for the purpose of building our confidence. And working out harder and faster may serve that purpose. But confidence building comes with being able to do more in our day-to-day life, experiencing less pain and more freedom in movement, and feeling good after a workout. Fitness should help us with our quality of life, the ability to sleep, and good memory, among other things. Fitness should not just come with the eagerness for the success in numbers. In our busy lives, we only have limited time for fitness. When we do physical exercise, we should value what feels good over what looks or sounds good. Sometimes what serves us and our health is coming home and doing a light workout, like going on a short bike ride. Sometimes what serves us is simply going to sleep at 9:30 p.m. Instead of forcing ourselves into a workout. Apps of this kind are a great way for us to keep an eye on our health. But don’t read into the numbers to the point where you lose out on feeling proud that you are taking care of yourself. So my advice is: when you do physical exercise, make sure you feel good about yourself over feeling good about the numbers. 41. Why did the writer start to use the app? _______________________________________________________________ 42. What happened when he became too focused on the numbers? _______________________________________________________________ 43. According to the writer, what should be our purpose of doing exercise? _______________________________________________________________ 44. Why are apps of this kind a great way for us? _______________________________________________________________ 45. When you do physical exercise, which do you think is more important: feeling good about yourself or feeling good about the numbers? Why? _______________________________________________________________ 第二节 写作（满分20分） 46. 近年来，国家高度关注青少年健康成长，你的学校也积极响应并采取了相关措施。请以学生李华的身份，根据以下提示写一篇短文。 内容包括： 1. 分享你认为学校做得成功的一件事； 2. 阐述当前学校依然存在两个问题和改进建议； 3. 请至少补充一项你发现的其他问题，并给出建议。 How to grow up healthily Things Problems Advice Smartphones Bringing phones to school No phones at school Sleeping Feeling sleepy in class Start school later.

Each run I wanted to go a little farther, run a little faster and burn more calories (卡路里). Last night I finished an 8.3 km run in 46 minutes and burnt 468 calories. In comparison, my run two days ago was 8.6 km in 46 minutes with 483 calories burnt. This inner self-comparison left me feeling disappointed. I became so focused on the numbers that I forgot to consider what I achieved. These tiny differences in numbers kept me away from the bigger picture: how did I actually feel after completing my most recent run? Well, honestly, I was completely tired out. What good is running to beat your top score if you don’t feel on top? We should exercise for the purpose of building our confidence. And working out harder and faster may serve that purpose. But confidence building comes with being able to do more in our day-to-day life, experiencing less pain and more freedom in movement, and feeling good after a workout. Fitness should help us with our quality of life, the ability to sleep, and good memory, among other things. Fitness should not just come with the eagerness for the success in numbers. In our busy lives, we only have limited time for fitness. When we do physical exercise, we should value what feels good over what looks or sounds good. Sometimes what serves us and our health is coming home and doing a light workout, like going on a short bike ride. Sometimes what serves us is simply going to sleep at 9:30 p.m. Instead of forcing ourselves into a workout. Apps of this kind are a great way for us to keep an eye on our health. But don’t read into the numbers to the point where you lose out on feeling proud that you are taking care of yourself. So my advice is: when you do physical exercise, make sure you feel good about yourself over feeling good about the numbers. 41. Why did the writer start to use the app? _______________________________________________________________ 42. What happened when he became too focused on the numbers? _______________________________________________________________ 43. According to the writer, what should be our purpose of doing exercise? _______________________________________________________________ 44. Why are apps of this kind a great way for us? _______________________________________________________________ 45. When you do physical exercise, which do you think is more important: feeling good about yourself or feeling good about the numbers? Why? _______________________________________________________________ 【答案】41. To keep a record of his running. 42. He felt disappointed and forgot to consider what he achieved. 43. Building our confidence. 44. Because they are a great way for us to keep an eye on our health. 45. Feeling good about yourself is more important because it helps build confidence and focuses on the real purpose of exercise rather than just numbers. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，作者讲述了自己开始用一款应用记录跑步情况，因过于关注数据而忽略自身实际感受，进而探讨了锻炼的目的，指出锻炼应是为了建立自信、提升生活质量等，不应只追求数据上的成功，还提到这类应用虽好但不能过度看重数据，最后给出锻炼时应更关注自身感受的建议。 【41题详解】 根据 “Recently, I started to use an app to keep a record of my running.” 可知，作者开始使用这款应用是为了记录自己的跑步情况。故填To keep a record of his running. 【42题详解】 根据 “This inner self-comparison left me feeling disappointed. I became so focused on the numbers that I forgot to consider what I achieved.” 可知，当作者过于关注数据时，他感到失望并且忘记考虑自己取得的成就。故填He felt disappointed and forgot to consider what he achieved. 【43题详解】 根据 “We should exercise for the purpose of building our confidence.” 可知，作者认为我们锻炼的目的是建立自信。故填Building our confidence. 【44题详解】 根据 “Apps of this kind are a great way for us to keep an eye on our health.” 可知，这类应用对我们来说是很好的方式是因为它们能让我们关注自己的健康。故填Because they are a great way for us to keep an eye on our health. 【45题详解】 本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，结合自身喜好和理由，如关注自身感受有助于建立自信、关注锻炼真正目的等合理作答即可。故填Feeling good about yourself is more important because it helps build confidence and focuses on the real purpose of exercise rather than just numbers. 第二节 写作（满分20分） 46. 近年来，国家高度关注青少年健康成长，你的学校也积极响应并采取了相关措施。请以学生李华的身份，根据以下提示写一篇短文。 内容包括： 1. 分享你认为学校做得成功的一件事； 2. 阐述当前学校依然存在的两个问题和改进建议； 3. 请至少补充一项你发现的其他问题，并给出建议。 How to grow up healthily Things Problems Advice Smartphones Bringing phones to school No phones at school.
