76.Dear Principal,
I am Li Hua, a student from Mingqi High School. This semester, I’ve noticed an increase in the number of short-sighted students around me, coupled with a decline in physical fitness. Many students frequently fall ill and take leave, or struggle to keep up during long-distance running. The possible reasons behind this situation are multifaceted. Firstly, excessive screen time significantly contributes to eye strain and reduces physical activity. Secondly, academic pressure has led to a lack of regular exercise and sufficient sleep, further weakening students' immune systems.
To address these issues, I suggest that the school implement a series of measures. These could include organizing more outdoor activities to reduce screen time and introducing mandatory physical education classes focused on enhancing overall fitness. I sincerely hope that the schooltake action to improve the current situation.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

High Ceilings in Buildings Linked to Poorer Exam Results for Students
New research has found a link between the height of ceilings in exam halls and the performance of students, 21 might sound a bit crazy, but makes more and more sense as you think about it. 22 the shape of a room can’t compensate for your lack of revision or make you any smarter than you were before, we do know that the environments we’re in have an effect on us. That includes our ability to concentrate and work on mental tasks.
The authors of the study, from the University of South Australia and Deakin University in Australia, suggest that big and open rooms, with high ceilings, are making 23 harder for students to focus on what is in front of them.
A previous study from some of the same researchers, 24 (make) use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality, had found a relationship between cognitive ability and the perceived size of a person’s surroundings. Here, the team wanted to do some real-world testing.
“We were curious to apply our lab findings to a real-world dataset and see if being in a large space like a gymnasium while having to concentrate on an important task would result in a 25 (poor) performance,” says environmental psychologist Isabella Bower from the University of South Australia.
The study analyzed exam results from 15,400 students over eight years and across three campuses, referencing their scores against what 26 (expect) based on the coursework they’d previously submitted.
In exam rooms with elevated ceilings, students tended to underperform 27 (compare) to those taking exams in rooms with a ‘standard’ ceiling height, even after accounting tor age, gender, time of year, exam subject, and prior exam experience — other factors that could potentially affect the results.
However, 28 we can’t yet be sure about is whether the actual dimensions of the room are having an effect, or whether it’s something else related to the environment — like the temperature or humidity inside the space, or even how many other students there are.
“These spaces are often designed 29 purposes other than examinations, such as gymnasiums, exhibitions, events, and performances,” says Bower. “The key point is that large rooms with high ceilings seem 30 (disadvantage) students and we need to understand what brain mechanisms are at play, and whether this affects all students to the same degree.”
Those are questions that future research can try to find out. It’s clear though that environment matters — and that we might not be giving students the best chance for success by holding exams in rooms that aren’t custom-built for the purpose.

The Art of Blooming Late
In his teens and early twenties, Mozart had to work as an organist and concertmaster in his native Salzburg to make ends meet. Underpaid and unfulfilled, he felt a(n) burning desire to 31 more time and energy to his art. So after a period of doubt and deliberation, that’s exactly what he did. He quit his job and embarked on what turned out to be the most 32 and creative period of his life.
Even if you never hope to reach Mozart’s level of mastery, you may consider how he removed all the 33 in his path to success. Maybe you’ve done everything right — 34 at school, worked hard, and landed a good, high-paying job-but you’re tired of being just like everyone else.
However, drafting a plan of action can be daunting. What, then, is holding you back? Rich Karlgaard, the publisher of Forbes magazine and author of Late Bloomers, argues that our cultures’ customs with early achievement discourages us from 35 our passions. Instead of having varied interests, studying widely, and taking our time — 36 to self-discovery-we’re encouraged to ace tests, become specialists right away, and pursue safe, stable, and profitable careers. As a result, most of us end up choosing professional excellence over personal fulfillment, and often we lose ourselves in the process.
To prompt a revolution in your own life, there are a few things to keep in mind. First and foremost, it’s never too late to “become” yourself. Aristotle, for example, didn’t fully devote himself to writing and philosophy until he was nearly 50. There are also benefits to taking a long, 37 path to self-fulfillment. Remember that age 38 brings wisdom, resilience, self-knowledge, and creativity.
That said, once you’ve decided to embark on the journey, it may take years, if not longer, to reach your 39 . But as research has shown, small daily changes can have a compound effect and slowly but 40 lead you closer to the person you think you ought to be.
III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分;56-70每题2分)
Section A
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
(24-25高一下·上海浦东新·期中)Our days are becoming increasingly jam-packed. The reasons for the rise in “time 41 ” are numerous, but corporate cultures that value busyness are at least partially to blame. Put simply, busyness has become a(n) 42 . Research led by the Columbia marketing professor Silvia Bellezza shows that people 43 others who are busy to be important and impressive. 44 , newly published studies led by the psychologist Jared Celniker have found that across the United States, France, and South Korea, people consider those who exert high effort to be “morally admirable,” 45 their output.
However, when it comes to corporate life, busyness is not a(n) 46 , and it is long past time that organizations stopped lionizing it. Evaluating employees on how busy they are is a terrible way to identify the most creative and productive talent. Yet many firms reward and promote only people who display how “hard” they’re working. The effect on companies and their employees is 47 . Research indicates that when organizations 48 employees, base their incentives primarily on the amount of time they work, and excessively monitor their activities, productivity and efficiency actually drop.
While managers now are more 49 to reconsidering the value of busyness than they have been in a long time, the obsession with busyness still persist. One of social psychology’s findings is that the harder people work to achieve something, the more they 50 it. Known as “effort justification,” this tendency arises even when a task is meaningless. And the more demanding the effort is, the more 51 people feel. New hires forced to work long hours on a graveyard shift, for instance, might persuade themselves, if I work this hard, I must really want to be here. The problem is that while we go on 52 the tiring labour, we fail to notice burnout creeping up on us.
Another reason organizations value busyness is that their customers do. In many cases customers 53 endeavor with worth. In one simple demonstration of this phenomenon, experimenters showed that participants liked various items (such as a poem, a painting, and a suit of armor) more and rated them higher in quality and value when they thought more 54 had gone into producing them. Research by the Harvard Business School operations professor Ryan Buell found that cafeteria customers reported 55 with their service when a sandwich was made in front of them — when they could observe the work that went into it — than when an identical sandwich was delivered to them.

A
(24-25高一下·上海·期末)At 45, I noticed my first gray hairs, and my hairdresser claimed she had a special elixir (灵丹妙药) to naturally and almost undetectably mask them. Unsure whether to start this operation, I studied my reflection, realizing the gray was more widespread than I had admitted. Instead of merely threading between darker hairs, the gray had taken over large sections of my head, particularly on the sides and back.
“I suggest we leave some in,” my hairdresser proposed, “just enough to make you look distinguished.” I nodded, but the word “distinguished” felt like a polite synonym for “old”.
For seven years, I followed this monthly ritual, each time hoping to hide the gray, though my wife insisted that gray hair looked great on men my age, pointing to silver-haired celebrities like George Clooney and Anderson Cooper. They were silver foxes, and I envied their confident acceptance of their aging looks.
One afternoon, my wife broke her silence, telling me my hair had turned green from the dye. She suggested I let my natural gray come through. In an attempt to accept this change, I visited a beauty shop in Missoula, Montana. The stylist advised me to shave it off. Week by week, my gray hair grew back, forcing me to face up to my aging appearance with a new clarity.
The final push came at a New York City sandwich shop. After taking my order, one of the girls behind the counter asked if she could ask me something. The girl, who appeared to be 18 or so, followed with something like: “It’s not that I think you look old or anything, but when was doo-wop? Do you remember? Doo-wop music? When was that? The’ 50s? The’ 40s?”
“Late’50s, early’60s,” I said coolly. Did the girl really think that I’d been on the scene then, or did she merely find me professional, a man who appeared to be rich in general knowledge?
“That must have been so cool,” she said. “Walking around hearing singing on all the corners!” I suddenly found my gray hair was nothing bad. Interestingly, I’ve never dyed my hair since then.
Now, I have grown comfortable with my gray hair. On good days, I even feel a bit like those silver-haired celebrities. However, I still avoid my old hairdresser, not wanting to confront the failure of our shared secret. Instead, I accept my silver hair as part of who I am.
56.What does the writer’ wife think of his gray hair?
A.She believes it makes him look great. B.She suggests he should dye it a different color.
C.She thinks it distinguishes him from celebrities. D.She criticizes his decision to stop dyeing his hair.
57.The word “synonym”(paragraph 2)is closest in meaning to ______.
A.opposite B.equivalent C.pretense D.behavior
58.How did the girl in the sandwich shop affect the writer?
A.She complimented his gray hair, boosting his self-confidence greatly.
B.She mentioned an old type of music, trying to check his age.
C.She asked him a question, making him feel good about himself.
D.She recommended a regular hair dye, influencing his decision to change his hair color.
59.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The writer’s journey towards accepting his natural gray hair.
B.The writer’s struggle with maintaining his hairstyle over years.
C.The writer’s experience with different hairdressers and their advice.
D.The writer’s admiration for silver-haired celebrities like George Clooney.

(24-25高一下·上海徐汇·期中)Physicist Albert-László Barabási recently published a book—The Formula: The Universal Laws of Success—laying out his and his colleagues’ research into the nature of success with a simple equation. The degree of success for a given product, scientific paper, artwork, or other venture, represented by “S,” is broken down into two components: the essentially random quality of the underlying idea, symbolized by “r,” and the ability of the creator behind the project to actually bring ideas in a given field to fruition, which Barabási calls the “Q-factor.” With that framework in mind, success is the product of the random initial idea and the Q-factor of the creator: S= Qr.
As an example of the importance of both components of the success formula, Barabási points out that Steve Jobs—someone with an undoubtedly high Q-factor in the field of designing consumer electronics—had a list of unsuccessful products to his name as well. Barabási wrote, “Think AppleLisa, NeXT, the G-4Cube, MobileMe. Never heard of them? They’re among Jobs’s many failures. If an idea has a small r value, no matter how high the Q, the product will be cheapened.”
Of course, Barabási also noted that a strong combination of a capable, high-Q-factor creator with a really good initial idea could enhance each other and create extremely successful results: “Think of the iPhone—a fantastic idea with brilliant execution, resulting in the product that defined Jobs’s legacy.”
One perhaps surprising result Barabási found was that a given individual’s Q-factor in a particular field tended to stay more or less constant over time. That is, a creator’s ability to take advantage of good ideas in their field neither improved with experience nor declined with age.
That presents a double-edged sword to anyone trying to find success in their career. On the one hand, repeated struggles in a particular field could suggest an underlying lack of talent in that field. Barabási wrote, “if our Q-factor doesn’t work well with our job, we should consider if we’ve pinned our hopes on the wrong career path.”
On the other hand, the relative constancy of a Q-factor in a given field means that one’s best work can happen at any point in their career. Barabási gave the example of the physicist John Fenn, who after a long and fairly low-impact scientific career developed a revolutionary technique for measuring the masses of large molecules at the age of 67. Fenn would later go on to win the 2002 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his late-career work.
Barabási’s research suggests that a good way to succeed is to find what you are good at and then keep trying new things in that field. “The key to long-term success from a creator’s perspective is straightforward: let the qualities that give you your Q-factor do their job by giving them a chance to deliver success over and over,” he wrote.
63.According to the formula, which of the following is NOT a factor in achieving long-term success?
A.A brilliant and talented idea. B.A proper price for the products.
C.The ability to put the idea into practice. D.Perseverance in trying new things.
64.Why are AppleLisa, NeXT, the G-4 Cube and MobileMe not as successful as iPhone?
A.Because Jobs lacked talent when working on these products.
B.Because the ideas behind them were not of high quality.
C.Because they were not developed by Jobs.
D.Because they were not Jobs’s legacies.
65.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A.Barabási worked out the formula based on his research in cooperation with his colleagues.
B.A good idea plays a significant role in the ultimate success of a product or artwork.
C.If you have a low Q-factor, you may have a try at changing your career path.
D.The physicist John Fenn didn’t make much scientific impact because of his old age.
66.What is the main idea Barabási wants to convey in his book?
A.The key to success lies in finding what you are good at and sticking with it.
B.A person’s ability remains more or less constant over his or her lifetime.
C.Success in a person’s career presents a double-edged sword.
D.You need to give yourself chances to deliver success over and over again.

(24-25高一下·上海静安·期中)What I Think of Boxing as a Sport
Boxing is a popular sport. Newspapers, magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently cover boxing matches. It could be the toughest of all sports to survive. It takes boxers hours in the gym and years to develop the specific characteristics needed to be a great boxer. 67
It seems to me that some people, especially men, find it appealing because it is an aggressive sport. When they watch a boxing match, they can identify with the winning boxer. This gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves. 68 They do that because the boxer comes from their own country, and if “their” boxer loses, they often feel as if they have lost a fight themselves. It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives. Watching a boxing match gives them a way of expressing it.
69 Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets, a kind of strong hard hat, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with dramatic consequences. Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring. Besides, studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing. They are usually in the form of serious brain damage, even if a boxer has never been knocked out.
To conclude, I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing. 70 . We can celebrate more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes in our society. I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like competitive sports, and so do I, but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.

(24-25高一下·上海闵行·期中)Cosmetic Surgeries Get Extreme
Everyone goes through it: poking at the eye bags and the loose skin in the mirror. It’s part of the human condition to fear ageing, but among the 20 and 30 something, there seems to be a heightened anxiety around growing older, coupled with an increasingly casual attitude towards getting Botox (肉毒素,用于除皱)compared with previous generations. In 2022, 27% of US patients receiving Botox were 34 or younger, compared with 21% in 2015, according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery. The idea is to stop wrinkles before they start.
So why are we so desperate to pretend we’re not growing older? For my generation, being perpetually online and scrolling through the lives of others must be a factor. It keeps us locked into a constant state of comparison. And in a time of economic uncertainty, millennials and gen Z are also unable to tick off traditional checkpoints of adulthood, so the idea that many alter their appearance to turn back the clock makes perfect sense to me. For women, our looks are aesthetic capital after all--and being beautiful can unlock social and professional success.
But these treatments often don’t come with warnings; it’s up to the consumer to research potential pitfalls (陷阱). Botched (粗制滥造的)cosmetic procedures among young people are on the rise, with too many treatments taking place in unregulated beauty salons and carried out by unqualified practitioners. Last month, three women in the US contracted HIV from a cosmetic procedures intended for the skin, when an unlicensed New Mexico medical clinic reused needles that should have been disposed of, which caused understandable alarm worldwide.
One friend who loves Botox said to me recently: “I can’t stay 28 for ever, but the aim is to look 28 forever.” I’m trying to reject the message that it’s wrong for women to look their true age. It can be hard to tune out the noise, but the alternative may mean a future damaged by self-doubt, expensive treatments or even regret. I think I’ll stick with the eye bags.

High Ceilings in Buildings Linked to Poorer Exam Results for Students
New research has found a link between the height of ceilings in exam halls and the performance of students, 21 might sound a bit crazy, but makes more and more sense as you think about it. 22 the shape of a room can’t compensate for your lack of revision or make you any smarter than you were before, we do know that the environments we’re in have an effect on us. That includes our ability to concentrate and work on mental tasks.
The authors of the study, from the University of South Australia and Deakin University in Australia, suggest that big and open rooms, with high ceilings, are making 23 harder for students to focus on what is in front of them.
A previous study from some of the same researchers, 24 (make) use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality, had found a relationship between cognitive ability and the perceived size of a person’s surroundings. Here, the team wanted to do some real-world testing.
“We were curious to apply our lab findings to a real-world dataset and see if being in a large space like a gymnasium while having to concentrate on an important task would result in a 25 (poor) performance,” says environmental psychologist Isabella Bower from the University of South Australia.
The study analyzed exam results from 15,400 students over eight years and across three campuses, referencing their scores against what 26 (expect) based on the coursework they’d previously submitted.
In exam rooms with elevated ceilings, students tended to underperform 27 (compare) to those taking exams in rooms with a ‘standard’ ceiling height, even after accounting tor age, gender, time of year, exam subject, and prior exam experience — other factors that could potentially affect the results.
However, 28 we can’t yet be sure about is whether the actual dimensions of the room are having an effect, or whether it’s something else related to the environment — like the temperature or humidity inside the space, or even how many other students there are.
“These spaces are often designed 29 purposes other than examinations, such as gymnasiums, exhibitions, events, and performances,” says Bower. “The key point is that large rooms with high ceilings seem 30 (disadvantage) students and we need to understand what brain mechanisms are at play, and whether this affects all students to the same degree.”
Those are questions that future research can try to find out. It’s clear though that environment matters — and that we might not be giving students the best chance for success by holding exams in rooms that aren’t custom-built for the purpose.

The Art of Blooming Late
In his teens and early twenties, Mozart had to work as an organist and concertmaster in his native Salzburg to make ends meet. Underpaid and unfulfilled, he felt a(n) burning desire to 31 more time and energy to his art. So after a period of doubt and deliberation, that’s exactly what he did. He quit his job and embarked on what turned out to be the most 32 and creative period of his life.
Even if you never hope to reach Mozart’s level of mastery, you may consider how he removed all the 33 in his path to success. Maybe you’ve done everything right — 34 at school, worked hard, and landed a good, high-paying job-but you’re tired of being just like everyone else.
However, drafting a plan of action can be daunting. What, then, is holding you back? Rich Karlgaard, the publisher of Forbes magazine and author of Late Bloomers, argues that our cultures’ customs with early achievement discourages us from 35 our passions. Instead of having varied interests, studying widely, and taking our time — 36 to self-discovery-we’re encouraged to ace tests, become specialists right away, and pursue safe, stable, and profitable careers. As a result, most of us end up choosing professional excellence over personal fulfillment, and often we lose ourselves in the process.
To prompt a revolution in your own life, there are a few things to keep in mind. First and foremost, it’s never too late to “become” yourself. Aristotle, for example, didn’t fully devote himself to writing and philosophy until he was nearly 50. There are also benefits to taking a long, 37 path to self-fulfillment. Remember that age 38 brings wisdom, resilience, self-knowledge, and creativity.
That said, once you’ve decided to embark on the journey, it may take years, if not longer, to reach your 39 . But as research has shown, small daily changes can have a compound effect and slowly but 40 lead you closer to the person you think you ought to be.

(24-25高一下·上海浦东新·期中)Our days are becoming increasingly jam-packed. The reasons for the rise in “time 41 ” are numerous, but corporate cultures that value busyness are at least partially to blame. Put simply, busyness has become a(n) 42 . Research led by the Columbia marketing professor Silvia Bellezza shows that people 43 others who are busy to be important and impressive. 44 , newly published studies led by the psychologist Jared Celniker have found that across the United States, France, and South Korea, people consider those who exert high effort to be “morally admirable,” 45 their output.
However, when it comes to corporate life, busyness is not a(n) 46 , and it is long past time that organizations stopped lionizing it. Evaluating employees on how busy they are is a terrible way to identify the most creative and productive talent. Yet many firms reward and promote only people who display how “hard” they’re working. The effect on companies and their employees is 47 . Research indicates that when organizations 48 employees, base their incentives primarily on the amount of time they work, and excessively monitor their activities, productivity and efficiency actually drop.
While managers now are more 49 to reconsidering the value of busyness than they have been in a long time, the obsession with busyness still persist. One of social psychology’s findings is that the harder people work to achieve something, the more they 50 it. Known as “effort justification,” this tendency arises even when a task is meaningless. And the more demanding the effort is, the more 51 people feel. New hires forced to work long hours on a graveyard shift, for instance, might persuade themselves, if I work this hard, I must really want to be here. The problem is that while we go on 52 the tiring labour, we fail to notice burnout creeping up on us.
Another reason organizations value busyness is that their customers do. In many cases customers 53 endeavor with worth. In one simple demonstration of this phenomenon, experimenters showed that participants liked various items (such as a poem, a painting, and a suit of armor) more and rated them higher in quality and value when they thought more 54 had gone into producing them. Research by the Harvard Business School operations professor Ryan Buell found that cafeteria customers reported 55 with their service when a sandwich was made in front of them — when they could observe the work that went into it — than when an identical sandwich was delivered to them.

A
(24-25高一下·上海·期末)At 45, I noticed my first gray hairs, and my hairdresser claimed she had a special elixir (灵丹妙药) to naturally and almost undetectably mask them. Unsure whether to start this operation, I studied my reflection, realizing the gray was more widespread than I had admitted. Instead of merely threading between darker hairs, the gray had taken over large sections of my head, particularly on the sides and back.
“I suggest we leave some in,” my hairdresser proposed, “just enough to make you look distinguished.” I nodded, but the word “distinguished” felt like a polite synonym for “old”.
For seven years, I followed this monthly ritual, each time hoping to hide the gray, though my wife insisted that gray hair looked great on men my age, pointing to silver-haired celebrities like George Clooney and Anderson Cooper. They were silver foxes, and I envied their confident acceptance of their aging looks.
One afternoon, my wife broke her silence, telling me my hair had turned green from the dye. She suggested I let my natural gray come through. In an attempt to accept this change, I visited a beauty shop in Missoula, Montana. The stylist advised me to shave it off. Week by week, my gray hair grew back, forcing me to face up to my aging appearance with a new clarity.
The final push came at a New York City sandwich shop. After taking my order, one of the girls behind the counter asked if she could ask me something. The girl, who appeared to be 18 or so, followed with something like: “It’s not that I think you look old or anything, but when was doo-wop? Do you remember? Doo-wop music? When was that? The’ 50s? The’ 40s?”
“Late’50s, early’60s,” I said coolly. Did the girl really think that I’d been on the scene then, or did she merely find me professional, a man who appeared to be rich in general knowledge?
“That must have been so cool,” she said. “Walking around hearing singing on all the corners!” I suddenly found my gray hair was nothing bad. Interestingly, I’ve never dyed my hair since then.
Now, I have grown comfortable with my gray hair. On good days, I even feel a bit like those silver-haired celebrities. However, I still avoid my old hairdresser, not wanting to confront the failure of our shared secret. Instead, I accept my silver hair as part of who I am.
56.What does the writer’ wife think of his gray hair?
A.She believes it makes him look great. B.She suggests he should dye it a different color.
C.She thinks it distinguishes him from celebrities. D.She criticizes his decision to stop dyeing his hair.
57.The word “synonym”(paragraph 2)is closest in meaning to ______.
A.opposite B.equivalent C.pretense D.behavior
58.How did the girl in the sandwich shop affect the writer?
A.She complimented his gray hair, boosting his self-confidence greatly.
B.She mentioned an old type of music, trying to check his age.
C.She asked him a question, making him feel good about himself.
D.She recommended a regular hair dye, influencing his decision to change his hair color.
59.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The writer’s journey towards accepting his natural gray hair.
B.The writer’s struggle with maintaining his hairstyle over years.
C.The writer’s experience with different hairdressers and their advice.
D.The writer’s admiration for silver-haired celebrities like George Clooney.

(24-25高一下·上海徐汇·期中)Physicist Albert-László Barabási recently published a book—The Formula: The Universal Laws of Success—laying out his and his colleagues’ research into the nature of success with a simple equation. The degree of success for a given product, scientific paper, artwork, or other venture, represented by “S,” is broken down into two components: the essentially random quality of the underlying idea, symbolized by “r,” and the ability of the creator behind the project to actually bring ideas in a given field to fruition, which Barabási calls the “Q-factor.” With that framework in mind, success is the product of the random initial idea and the Q-factor of the creator: S= Qr.
As an example of the importance of both components of the success formula, Barabási points out that Steve Jobs—someone with an undoubtedly high Q-factor in the field of designing consumer electronics—had a list of unsuccessful products to his name as well. Barabási wrote, “Think AppleLisa, NeXT, the G-4Cube, MobileMe. Never heard of them? They’re among Jobs’s many failures. If an idea has a small r value, no matter how high the Q, the product will be cheapened.”
Of course, Barabási also noted that a strong combination of a capable, high-Q-factor creator with a really good initial idea could enhance each other and create extremely successful results: “Think of the iPhone—a fantastic idea with brilliant execution, resulting in the product that defined Jobs’s legacy.”
One perhaps surprising result Barabási found was that a given individual’s Q-factor in a particular field tended to stay more or less constant over time. That is, a creator’s ability to take advantage of good ideas in their field neither improved with experience nor declined with age.
That presents a double-edged sword to anyone trying to find success in their career. On the one hand, repeated struggles in a particular field could suggest an underlying lack of talent in that field. Barabási wrote, “if our Q-factor doesn’t work well with our job, we should consider if we’ve pinned our hopes on the wrong career path.”
On the other hand, the relative constancy of a Q-factor in a given field means that one’s best work can happen at any point in their career. Barabási gave the example of the physicist John Fenn, who after a long and fairly low-impact scientific career developed a revolutionary technique for measuring the masses of large molecules at the age of 67. Fenn would later go on to win the 2002 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his late-career work.
Barabási’s research suggests that a good way to succeed is to find what you are good at and then keep trying new things in that field. “The key to long-term success from a creator’s perspective is straightforward: let the qualities that give you your Q-factor do their job by giving them a chance to deliver success over and over,” he wrote.
63.According to the formula, which of the following is NOT a factor in achieving long-term success?
A.A brilliant and talented idea. B.A proper price for the products.
C.The ability to put the idea into practice. D.Perseverance in trying new things.
64.Why are AppleLisa, NeXT, the G-4 Cube and MobileMe not as successful as iPhone?
A.Because Jobs lacked talent when working on these products.
B.Because the ideas behind them were not of high quality.
C.Because they were not developed by Jobs.
D.Because they were not Jobs’s legacies.
65.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A.Barabási worked out the formula based on his research in cooperation with his colleagues.
B.A good idea plays a significant role in the ultimate success of a product or artwork.
C.If you have a low Q-factor, you may have a try at changing your career path.
D.The physicist John Fenn didn’t make much scientific impact because of his old age.
66.What is the main idea Barabási wants to convey in his book?
A.The key to success lies in finding what you are good at and sticking with it.
B.A person’s ability remains more or less constant over his or her lifetime.
C.Success in a person’s career presents a double-edged sword.
D.You need to give yourself chances to deliver success over and over again.

(24-25高一下·上海静安·期中)What I Think of Boxing as a Sport
Boxing is a popular sport. Newspapers, magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently cover boxing matches. It could be the toughest of all sports to survive. It takes boxers hours in the gym and years to develop the specific characteristics needed to be a great boxer. 67
It seems to me that some people, especially men, find it appealing because it is an aggressive sport. When they watch a boxing match, they can identify with the winning boxer. This gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves. 68 They do that because the boxer comes from their own country, and if “their” boxer loses, they often feel as if they have lost a fight themselves. It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives. Watching a boxing match gives them a way of expressing it.
69 Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets, a kind of strong hard hat, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with dramatic consequences. Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring. Besides, studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing. They are usually in the form of serious brain damage, even if a boxer has never been knocked out.
To conclude, I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing. 70 . We can celebrate more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes in our society.

(24-25高一下·上海闵行·期中)Cosmetic Surgeries Get Extreme
Everyone goes through it: poking at the eye bags and the loose skin in the mirror. It’s part of the human condition to fear ageing, but among the 20 and 30 something, there seems to be a heightened anxiety around growing older, coupled with an increasingly casual attitude towards getting Botox (肉毒素,用于除皱)compared with previous generations. In 2022, 27% of US patients receiving Botox were 34 or younger, compared with 21% in 2015, according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery. The idea is to stop wrinkles before they start.
So why are we so desperate to pretend we’re not growing older? For my generation, being perpetually online and scrolling through the lives of others must be a factor. It keeps us locked into a constant state of comparison. And in a time of economic uncertainty, millennials and gen Z are also unable to tick off traditional checkpoints of adulthood, so the idea that many alter their appearance to turn back the clock makes perfect sense to me. For women, our looks are aesthetic capital after all--and being beautiful can unlock social and professional success.
But these treatments often don’t come with warnings; it’s up to the consumer to research potential pitfalls (陷阱). Botched (粗制滥造的)cosmetic procedures among young people are on the rise, with too many treatments taking place in unregulated beauty salons and carried out by unqualified practitioners. Last month, three women in the US contracted HIV from a cosmetic procedures intended for the skin, when an unlicensed New Mexico medical clinic reused needles that should have been disposed of, which caused understandable alarm worldwide.
One friend who loves Botox said to me recently: “I can’t stay 28 for ever, but the aim is to look 28 forever.” I’m trying to reject the message that it’s wrong for women to look their true age. It can be hard to tune out the noise, but the alternative may mean a future damaged by self-doubt, expensive treatments or even regret. I think I’ll stick with the eye bags.

【原文】
Many leaders are worried about how productive their people can actually be at home. New data, however, suggests that they can probably relax.
The data comes from RescueTime, a time management tool that monitors how you spend every minute of time on your computer so you can make better use of your day. The company carefully examined the information and delivered happy news about our productivity when we work from home.
According to the data, knowledge workers, software developers and IT professionals are all more productive when they work from home. It shows remote workers had a 4% increase in average daily time spent on their important work and an 18% decrease in time spent on communication. Over a year, that adds up to 58 more hours spent on important work.
If the time saved on communication is added to the time saved from traveling to and from work, workers will save at least three hours a day when they go remote. That’s great news for managers, and employees are probably pretty excited about that shift too.
The data suggests the leaders can remove at least one item from their long list of anxieties. Remote work probably isn’t killing their team’s productivity.
11. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?
12. According to the data from RescueTime, how much percent of time can be saved on communication each day?
13. How can the data from RescueTime influence leaders?

There’s a day for just about everything, and the United Nations has selected May 20 as World Bee Day for worldwide recognition of the importance of bees.
“There are 20,000 species of bees around the world and a lot of these bees are in decline,” says Joseph Smith, a bee expert with the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. That includes honeybees, of course, but Smith says they only make up a very small part of all the kinds of bees in the world. Climate change, poisonous chemicals used in agriculture and the loss of living spaces are putting many of those species at risk. “Bees really provide for us in many ways, like food and human well-being. They’re important for our culture, dating back thousands of years in terms of inspiration of art,” Smith says.
They even provide inspiration for Erika Thompson, a professional beekeeper in Texas, to share her work online.

Thompson’s work is about more than getting millions of views per video. She notes that bees are a key factor in creating diverse and healthy ecosystems.

High Ceilings in Buildings Linked to Poorer Exam Results for Students
New research has found a link between the height of ceilings in exam halls and the performance of students, 21 might sound a bit crazy, but makes more and more sense as you think about it. 22 the shape of a room can’t compensate for your lack of revision or make you any smarter than you were before, we do know that the environments we’re in have an effect on us. That includes our ability to concentrate and work on mental tasks.
The authors of the study, from the University of South Australia and Deakin University in Australia, suggest that big and open rooms, with high ceilings, are making 23 harder for students to focus on what is in front of them.
A previous study from some of the same researchers, 24 (make) use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality, had found a relationship between cognitive ability and the perceived size of a person’s surroundings. Here, the team wanted to do some real-world testing.
“We were curious to apply our lab findings to a real-world dataset and see if being in a large space like a gymnasium while having to concentrate on an important task would result in a 25 (poor) performance,” says environmental psychologist Isabella Bower from the University of South Australia.
The study analyzed exam results from 15,400 students over eight years and across three campuses, referencing their scores against what 26 (expect) based on the coursework they’d previously submitted.
In exam rooms with elevated ceilings, students tended to underperform 27 (compare) to those taking exams in rooms with a ‘standard’ ceiling height, even after accounting tor age, gender, time of year, exam subject, and prior exam experience — other factors that could potentially affect the results.
However, 28 we can’t yet be sure about is whether the actual dimensions of the room are having an effect, or whether it’s something else related to the environment — like the temperature or humidity inside the space, or even how many other students there are.
“These spaces are often designed 29 purposes other than examinations, such as gymnasiums, exhibitions, events, and performances,” says Bower. “The key point is that large rooms with high ceilings seem 30 (disadvantage) students and we need to understand what brain mechanisms are at play, and whether this affects all students to the same degree.”
Those are questions that future research can try to find out. It’s clear though that environment matters — and that we might not be giving students the best chance for success by holding exams in rooms that aren’t custom-built for the purpose.
【答案】
21.which 22.While/Although/Though 23.it 24.making 25.poorer 26.was expected 27.compared 28.what 29.for 30.to disadvantage
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了高天花板的考场可能影响学生考试表现的研究发现,并探讨了背后的原因及未来研究方向。
21.考查定语从句。句意:新的研究发现,考试大厅的天花板高度与学生的表现之间存在联系,这听起来可能有点疯狂,但当你仔细思考时,会越来越觉得有道理。分析句子结构可知,“ might sound a bit crazy”为非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个句子,从句中缺少主语,所以用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
22.考查让步状语从句。句意:虽然房间的形状不能弥补你复习的不足,也不能让你比以前更聪明,但我们知道我们所处的环境对我们有影响。结合句意可知,前后句之间是让步关系,应用while/although/though引导让步状语从句,句首单词首字母要大写。故填While/Although/Though。
23.考查it作形式宾语。句意:这项研究的作者来自澳大利亚南澳大学和迪肯大学,他们认为,宽敞开阔、天花板高的房间会让学生更难专注于眼前的事物。句中为固定结构“make it + 形容词 + for sb. to do sth.”,其中it是形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式“for students to focus on what is in front of them”。故填it。
24.考查非谓语动词。句意:此前,部分相同研究人员进行的一项研究利用脑成像技术和虚拟现实技术,发现了认知能力与个人对周围环境感知大小之间的关系。句中已有谓语动词had found,所以make要用非谓语形式在句中作后置定语,修饰A previous study,A previous study与make之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式。故填making。
25.考查形容词比较级。句意:南澳大学环境心理学家伊莎贝拉·鲍尔说:“我们很好奇将实验室的发现应用到真实世界的数据集中,看看在像体育馆这样的大空间里,同时又要专注于一项重要任务,是否会导致表现更差。”根据语境可知,此处是将在大空间(如体育馆)里考试与在标准天花板高度的房间里考试的表现进行对比,应用形容词比较级poorer,表示“更差的”。故填poorer。
26.考查时态和语态。句意:这项研究分析了来自三个校区、八年间15400名学生的考试成绩,并将他们的分数与他们之前提交的课程作业所预期的成绩进行了对比。空处作从句谓语动词,根据前文的analyzed可知,时态为一般过去时,expect与主语what(指代scores)之间为被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,what作主语,be动词用was。故填was expected。
27.考查非谓语动词。句意:在天花板较高的考场里,学生的表现往往不如在“标准”天花板高度的考场里考试的学生,即使在考虑了年龄、性别、考试时间、考试科目和以往考试经验——这些可能影响结果的其他因素之后也是如此。句中已有谓语动词tended,空处为非谓语动词在句中作状语,students与compare之间为被动关系,应用过去分词形式。故填compared。
28.考查主语从句。句意:然而,我们目前还不能确定的是,究竟是房间的实际尺寸在起作用,还是与环境有关的其他因素——比如空间内的温度或湿度,甚至是其他学生的数量。“ we can’t yet be sure about”为主语从句,从句中about缺少宾语,表示“……的事情”,应用what引导该从句。故填what。
29.考查介词。句意:鲍尔说:“这些空间通常是为非考试目的而设计的,比如体育馆、展览、活动和表演。”be designed for为固定短语,意为“为……而设计”。故填for。
30.考查非谓语动词。句意:关键的一点是,天花板高的大房间似乎对学生不利,我们需要了解是哪些大脑机制在起作用,以及这是否对所有学生都有相同程度的影响。seem to do sth.为固定用法,意为“似乎做某事”,故空处用动词disadvantage“对……不利”的不定式形式。故填to disadvantage。

The Art of Blooming Late
In his teens and early twenties, Mozart had to work as an organist and concertmaster in his native Salzburg to make ends meet. Underpaid and unfulfilled, he felt a(n) burning desire to 31 more time and energy to his art. So after a period of doubt and deliberation, that’s exactly what he did. He quit his job and embarked on what turned out to be the most 32 and creative period of his life.
Even if you never hope to reach Mozart’s level of mastery, you may consider how he removed all the 33 in his path to success. Maybe you’ve done everything right — 34 at school, worked hard, and landed a good, high-paying job-but you’re tired of being just like everyone else.
However, drafting a plan of action can be daunting. What, then, is holding you back? Rich Karlgaard, the publisher of Forbes magazine and author of Late Bloomers, argues that our cultures’ customs with early achievement discourages us from 35 our passions. Instead of having varied interests, studying widely, and taking our time — 36 to self-discovery-we’re encouraged to ace tests, become specialists right away, and pursue safe, stable, and profitable careers. As a result, most of us end up choosing professional excellence over personal fulfillment, and often we lose ourselves in the process.
To prompt a revolution in your own life, there are a few things to keep in mind. First and foremost, it’s never too late to “become” yourself. Aristotle, for example, didn’t fully devote himself to writing and philosophy until he was nearly 50. There are also benefits to taking a long, 37 path to self-fulfillment. Remember that age 38 brings wisdom, resilience, self-knowledge, and creativity.
That said, once you’ve decided to embark on the journey, it may take years, if not longer, to reach your 39 . But as research has shown, small daily changes can have a compound effect and slowly but 40 lead you closer to the person you think you ought to be.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了探索莫扎特晚期绽放的艺术生涯,揭示追求激情与自我实现的重要性,即便面对社会对早期成功的推崇,通过长期不懈努力,智慧和创造力终将随年龄增长而显现。
31.考查动词。句意:他感到有一种强烈的愿望,要将更多的时间和精力投入到艺术中去。这里需要一个动词来表达“投入时间和精力”的意思,故用devote,位于不定式符号to(a desire to do)后,用动词原形。故选C。
32.考查形容词。句意:他辞去了工作,开始了最终证明是他一生中最富有成效和创造力的时期。用来描述莫扎特辞职后的创作时期,结合上下文应该是积极正面的评价,因此用形容词productive“多产的”,作定语,修饰period。故选K。
33.考查名词。句意:即便你从未希望达到莫扎特那样的精通程度,你也可能会思考他是如何清除通往成功道路上的所有障碍的。这里需要一个词来表示“阻碍”,用名词barrier,结合句意可知,阻碍不止一个,应用名词复数形式。故选F。
34.考查动词。句意:也许你做的一切都是正确的——在学校表现出色,努力工作,获得了一份好工作,薪水也不错——但你厌倦了和其他人一样。此处表示在学校表现优异,用动词excel“突出”,根据语境可知事情发生在过去,故时态用一般过去时,谓语用过去式excelled。故选A。
35.考查动名词。句意:《福布斯》杂志出版商、《大器晚成》一书的作者Rich Karlgaard认为,我们的文化中对早期成就的重视阻碍了我们追求激情。结合上下文可知,该空处意思为“追求”,用动词pursue,用动名词,作from的宾语。故选H。
36.考查名词。句意:人们鼓励我们在考试中拿高分,立即成为专家,追求安全、稳定、有利可图的职业,而不是拥有各种各样的兴趣,广泛学习,花时间——这是自我发现的要素。分析句子成分可知,空处为名词形式;再根据上文的“studying widely, and taking our time”可知,空处指的是自我发现的“要素”;选项J“essentials”,名词,意为“要素”,符合句意。故选J。
37.考查形容词。句意:走一条漫长且曲折的路去实现自我满足也是有好处的。结合上下文可知,该空处意思为“曲折的”,故用形容词winding,修饰后面的path,作定语,形容人生道路的曲折和探索性。故选G。
38.考查副词。句意:记住,年龄通常会带来智慧、韧性、自我认知和创造力。结合上下文可知,该空处意思为“通常”,用 typically,作状语,修饰brings。故选B。
39.考查名词。句意:不过,一旦你决定踏上这段旅程,可能需要多年,如果不是更久,才能达到你的目的地。结合上下文可知,该空处意思为“目的地”,应用名词destination,作reach的宾语。故选D。
40.考查副词。句意:但研究表明,每天的小改变可以产生复利效应,缓慢但肯定地引导你接近你认为自己应该成为的样子。本句强调了日积月累的小变化带来的确定性正面影响,结合上下文可知,该空处意思为“无疑地”,用 surely,作状语,修饰lead。故选E。

(24-25高一下·上海浦东新·期中)Our days are becoming increasingly jam-packed. The reasons for the rise in “time 41 ” are numerous, but corporate cultures that value busyness are at least partially to blame. Put simply, busyness has become a(n) 42 . Research led by the Columbia marketing professor Silvia Bellezza shows that people 43 others who are busy to be important and impressive. 44 , newly published studies led by the psychologist Jared Celniker have found that across the United States, France, and South Korea, people consider those who exert high effort to be “morally admirable,” 45 their output.
However, when it comes to corporate life, busyness is not a(n) 46 , and it is long past time that organizations stopped lionizing it. Evaluating employees on how busy they are is a terrible way to identify the most creative and productive talent. Yet many firms reward and promote only people who display how “hard” they’re working. The effect on companies and their employees is 47 . Research indicates that when organizations 48 employees, base their incentives primarily on the amount of time they work, and excessively monitor their activities, productivity and efficiency actually drop.
While managers now are more 49 to reconsidering the value of busyness than they have been in a long time, the obsession with busyness still persist. One of social psychology’s findings is that the harder people work to achieve something, the more they 50 it. Known as “effort justification,” this tendency arises even when a task is meaningless. And the more demanding the effort is, the more 51 people feel. New hires forced to work long hours on a graveyard shift, for instance, might persuade themselves, if I work this hard, I must really want to be here. The problem is that while we go on 52 the tiring labour, we fail to notice burnout creeping up on us.
Another reason organizations value busyness is that their customers do. In many cases customers 53 endeavor with worth. In one simple demonstration of this phenomenon, experimenters showed that participants liked various items (such as a poem, a painting, and a suit of armor) more and rated them higher in quality and value when they thought more 54 had gone into producing them. Research by the Harvard Business School operations professor Ryan Buell found that cafeteria customers reported 55 with their service when a sandwich was made in front of them — when they could observe the work that went into it — than when an identical sandwich was delivered to them.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
(24-25高一下·上海·期末)At 45, I noticed my first gray hairs, and my hairdresser claimed she had a special elixir (灵丹妙药) to naturally and almost undetectably mask them. Unsure whether to start this operation, I studied my reflection, realizing the gray was more widespread than I had admitted. Instead of merely threading between darker hairs, the gray had taken over large sections of my head, particularly on the sides and back.
“I suggest we leave some in,” my hairdresser proposed, “just enough to make you look distinguished.” I nodded, but the word “distinguished” felt like a polite synonym for “old”.
For seven years, I followed this monthly ritual, each time hoping to hide the gray, though my wife insisted that gray hair looked great on men my age, pointing to silver-haired celebrities like George Clooney and Anderson Cooper. They were silver foxes, and I envied their confident acceptance of their aging looks.
One afternoon, my wife broke her silence, telling me my hair had turned green from the dye. She suggested I let my natural gray come through. In an attempt to accept this change, I visited a beauty shop in Missoula, Montana. The stylist advised me to shave it off. Week by week, my gray hair grew back, forcing me to face up to my aging appearance with a new clarity.
The final push came at a New York City sandwich shop. After taking my order, one of the girls behind the counter asked if she could ask me something. The girl, who appeared to be 18 or so, followed with something like: “It’s not that I think you look old or anything, but when was doo-wop? Do you remember? Doo-wop music? When was that? The’ 50s? The’ 40s?”
“Late’50s, early’60s,” I said coolly. Did the girl really think that I’d been on the scene then, or did she merely find me professional, a man who appeared to be rich in general knowledge?
“That must have been so cool,” she said. “Walking around hearing singing on all the corners!” I suddenly found my gray hair was nothing bad. Interestingly, I’ve never dyed my hair since then.
Now, I have grown comfortable with my gray hair. On good days, I even feel a bit like those silver-haired celebrities. However, I still avoid my old hairdresser, not wanting to confront the failure of our shared secret. Instead, I accept my silver hair as part of who I am.
56.What does the writer’ wife think of his gray hair?
A.She believes it makes him look great. B.She suggests he should dye it a different color.
C.She thinks it distinguishes him from celebrities. D.She criticizes his decision to stop dyeing his hair.
57.The word “synonym”(paragraph 2)is closest in meaning to ______.
A.opposite B.equivalent C.pretense D.behavior
58.How did the girl in the sandwich shop affect the writer?
A.She complimented his gray hair, boosting his self-confidence greatly.
B.She mentioned an old type of music, trying to check his age.
C.She asked him a question, making him feel good about himself.
D.She recommended a regular hair dye, influencing his decision to change his hair color.
59.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The writer’s journey towards accepting his natural gray hair.
B.The writer’s struggle with maintaining his hairstyle over years.
C.The writer’s experience with different hairdressers and their advice.
D.The writer’s admiration for silver-haired celebrities like George Clooney.
【答案】56.A 57.B 58.C 59.A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。45岁时作者发现白发,染了七年后头发变绿,妻子建议自然生长,后因女孩询问老歌年代释然,不再染发。
56.细节理解题。根据第三段“For seven years, I followed this monthly ritual, each time hoping to hide the gray, though my wife insisted that gray hair looked great on men my age, pointing to silver-haired celebrities like George Clooney and Anderson Cooper. They were silver foxes, and I envied their confident acceptance of their aging looks.(七年来,我每月都坚持这个习惯,每次都希望能掩盖白发,尽管妻子坚持认为白发在我这个年纪的男人身上很好看,还指着乔治·克鲁尼和安德森·库珀等银发名人为例。他们是魅力十足的银发男士,我羡慕他们能自信地接受自己衰老的模样)”可知,作者的妻子认为作者的白发让他看起来很帅气。故选A。
57.词句猜测题。根据划线词上文““I suggest we leave some in,” my hairdresser proposed, “just enough to make you look distinguished.”(“我建议咱们留一些白发,” 我的理发师提议道,“白发刚好能让你显得有格调”)”以及“I nodded, but the word “distinguished” felt like a polite(我点了点头,但“格调”这个词听起来就像是……)”可知,发型师建议作者留一些白发,看起来更加有“格调”,但作者认为“格调”这个词就等同于“年长”的意思。故划线词意思是“相等的”。故选B。
58.细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“The final push came at a New York City sandwich shop. After taking my order, one of the girls behind the counter asked if she could ask me something. The girl, who appeared to be 18 or so, followed with something like: “It’s not that I think you look old or anything, but when was doo-wop? Do you remember? Doo-wop music? When was that? The’ 50s? The’ 40s?”(最后的契机出现在纽约市一家三明治店里。当我点完单后,柜台后的一个女孩问能不能请教我一个问题。这个看上去十八九岁的姑娘接着说道:“倒不是说觉得您显老什么的,就是想问问嘟・喔普音乐是什么时候的?您还记得吗?嘟・喔普音乐啊,那是啥时候的?五十年代?还是四十年代?)”以及倒数第二段““That must have been so cool,” she said. “Walking around hearing singing on all the corners!” I suddenly found my gray hair was nothing bad. Interestingly, I’ve never dyed my hair since then.(“那一定很酷,”她说。“四处走动,到处都能听到歌声!”我突然发现我的白发并没有什么不好。有趣的是,从那以后我再也没有染过头发)”可知,在那家三明治店里的那个女孩向作者提了一个问题,这让作者感到自己很出色。故选C。
59.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Instead, I accept my silver hair as part of who I am.(相反,我接受自己银色的头发,把它当作自己的一部分)”结合文章讲述了45岁时作者发现白发,染了七年后头发变绿,妻子建议自然生长,后因女孩询问老歌年代释然,不再染发。可知,这篇文章主要讲的是作者逐渐接受自己天生灰白头发的过程。故选A。

C
(24-25高一下·上海徐汇·期中)Physicist Albert-László Barabási recently published a book—The Formula: The Universal Laws of Success—laying out his and his colleagues’ research into the nature of success with a simple equation. The degree of success for a given product, scientific paper, artwork, or other venture, represented by “S,” is broken down into two components: the essentially random quality of the underlying idea, symbolized by “r,” and the ability of the creator behind the project to actually bring ideas in a given field to fruition, which Barabási calls the “Q-factor.” With that framework in mind, success is the product of the random initial idea and the Q-factor of the creator: S= Qr.
As an example of the importance of both components of the success formula, Barabási points out that Steve Jobs—someone with an undoubtedly high Q-factor in the field of designing consumer electronics—had a list of unsuccessful products to his name as well. Barabási wrote, “Think AppleLisa, NeXT, the G-4Cube, MobileMe. Never heard of them? They’re among Jobs’s many failures. If an idea has a small r value, no matter how high the Q, the product will be cheapened.”
Of course, Barabási also noted that a strong combination of a capable, high-Q-factor creator with a really good initial idea could enhance each other and create extremely successful results: “Think of the iPhone—a fantastic idea with brilliant execution, resulting in the product that defined Jobs’s legacy.”
One perhaps surprising result Barabási found was that a given individual’s Q-factor in a particular field tended to stay more or less constant over time. That is, a creator’s ability to take advantage of good ideas in their field neither improved with experience nor declined with age.
That presents a double-edged sword to anyone trying to find success in their career. On the one hand, repeated struggles in a particular field could suggest an underlying lack of talent in that field. Barabási wrote, “if our Q-factor doesn’t work well with our job, we should consider if we’ve pinned our hopes on the wrong career path.”
On the other hand, the relative constancy of a Q-factor in a given field means that one’s best work can happen at any point in their career. Barabási gave the example of the physicist John Fenn, who after a long and fairly low-impact scientific career developed a revolutionary technique for measuring the masses of large molecules at the age of 67. Fenn would later go on to win the 2002 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his late-career work.
Barabási’s research suggests that a good way to succeed is to find what you are good at and then keep trying new things in that field. “The key to long-term success from a creator’s perspective is straightforward: let the qualities that give you your Q-factor do their job by giving them a chance to deliver success over and over,” he wrote.
63.According to the formula, which of the following is NOT a factor in achieving long-term success?
A.A brilliant and talented idea. B.A proper price for the products.
C.The ability to put the idea into practice. D.Perseverance in trying new things.
64.Why are AppleLisa, NeXT, the G-4 Cube and MobileMe not as successful as iPhone?
A.Because Jobs lacked talent when working on these products.
B.Because the ideas behind them were not of high quality.
C.Because they were not developed by Jobs.
D.Because they were not Jobs’s legacies.
65.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A.Barabási worked out the formula based on his research in cooperation with his colleagues.
B.A good idea plays a significant role in the ultimate success of a product or artwork.
C.If you have a low Q-factor, you may have a try at changing your career path.
D.The physicist John Fenn didn’t make much scientific impact because of his old age.
66.What is the main idea Barabási wants to convey in his book?
A.The key to success lies in finding what you are good at and sticking with it.
B.A person’s ability remains more or less constant over his or her lifetime.
C.Success in a person’s career presents a double-edged sword.
D.You need to give yourself chances to deliver success over and over again.
【答案】63.B 64.B 65.D 66.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了巴拉巴西在其书中提出的成功公式 “S=Qr”,并通过具体例子阐述了影响成功的因素,还探讨了该公式对人们追求成功的启示。
63.细节理解题。根据第一段 “Physicist Albert-László Barabási recently published a book—The Formula: The Universal Laws of Success—laying out his and his colleagues’ research into the nature of success with a simple equation. The degree of success for a given product, scientific paper, artwork, or other venture, represented by “S,” is broken down into two components: the essentially random quality of the underlying idea, symbolized by “r,” and the ability of the creator behind the project to actually bring ideas in a given field to fruition, which Barabási calls the “Q-factor.” With that framework in mind, success is the product of the random initial idea and the Q-factor of the creator: S= Qr.(物理学家Albert-László Barabási最近出版了一本书——《公式:成功的普遍法则》——用一个简单的方程式阐述了他和他的同事对成功本质的研究。一个给定的产品、科学论文、艺术品或其他投资的成功程度,用“S”来表示,可以分为两个部分:一个是潜在想法的本质随机性,用“r”来表示;另一个是项目背后的创造者将特定领域的想法付诸实践的能力,Barabási称之为“q因素”。在这个框架下,成功是随机初始想法和创造者q因素的产物:S= Qr)”可知,成功是随机的初始想法和创造者的 Q 因子的乘积:S = Qr。由此可知,成功与初始想法的质量以及将想法付诸实践的 Q 因子有关,对应选项 A “一个绝妙而有天赋的想法” 和选项 C “将想法付诸实践的能力”。再根据最后一段 “a good way to succeed is to find what you are good at and then keep trying new things in that field(成功的一个好方法是找到自己擅长的东西,然后在那个领域不断尝试新事物)”可知,选项 D “坚持尝试新事物” 也是取得长期成功的因素。而选项 B “产品的合理价格” 在文章中未提及,故选B。
64.推理判断题。根据第二段“Think AppleLisa, NeXT, the G - 4 Cube, MobileMe. Never heard of them? They’ re among Jobs’s many failures. If an idea has a small r value, no matter how high the Q, the product will be cheapened.(想想AppleLisa、NeXT、G - 4 Cube、MobileMe。没听说过它们?它们是乔布斯众多失败产品中的一部分。如果一个想法的 r 值很小,无论 Q 值有多高,产品都会贬值)”可推知,这些产品不如 iPhone 成功是因为它们背后的想法质量不高,即 r 值较小,故选B。
65.细节理解题。根据第六段“Barabási gave the example of the physicist John Fenn, who after a long and fairly low - impact scientific career developed a revolutionary technique for measuring the masses of large molecules at the age of 67. Fenn would later go on to win the 2002 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his late - career work.(Barabási举了物理学家John Fenn的例子,他在漫长且影响相当小的科学生涯后,在 67 岁时开发了一种测量大分子质量的革命性技术。Fenn后来因他职业生涯后期的工作获得了 2002 年诺贝尔化学奖)”可知,约翰・芬恩在晚年取得了重大科学成就,选项 D“物理学家John Fenn因为年龄大没有产生太大的科学影响” 错误,故选D。
66.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Barabási’s research suggests that a good way to succeed is to find what you are good at and then keep trying new things in that field. “The key to long-term success from a creator’s perspective is straightforward: let the qualities that give you your Q-factor do their job by giving them a chance to deliver success over and over,” he wrote.(Barabási的研究表明,成功的一个好方法是找到自己擅长的东西,然后在那个领域不断尝试新事物。“从创造者的角度来看,长期成功的关键很简单:通过给赋予你 Q 因子的特质一个反复取得成功的机会,让它们发挥作用,” 他写道)”可知,巴拉巴西在书中主要想传达的观点是成功的关键在于找到自己擅长的事情并坚持下去,故选A。

(24-25高一下·上海静安·期中)What I Think of Boxing as a Sport
Boxing is a popular sport. Newspapers, magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently cover boxing matches. It could be the toughest of all sports to survive. It takes boxers hours in the gym and years to develop the specific characteristics needed to be a great boxer. 67
It seems to me that some people, especially men, find it appealing because it is an aggressive sport. When they watch a boxing match, they can identify with the winning boxer. This gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves. 68 They do that because the boxer comes from their own country, and if “their” boxer loses, they often feel as if they have lost a fight themselves. It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives. Watching a boxing match gives them a way of expressing it.
69 Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets, a kind of strong hard hat, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with dramatic consequences. Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring. Besides, studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing. They are usually in the form of serious brain damage, even if a boxer has never been knocked out.
To conclude, I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing. 70 . We can celebrate more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes in our society. I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like competitive sports, and so do I, but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.
A.However, boxing can be a very dangerous sport.
B.Sometimes fans are supporting a particular boxer.
C.In boxing, fighters are required to hit a moving target.
D.Many fans are drawn to the sport because they love the competition.
E.Perhaps that is the reason why successful boxers are treated as big heroes.
F.I think it would be better if less time was given to aggressive sports on TV.

(也许这就是为什么成功的拳击手被视为大英雄的原因)”中“that”指代上文提到的成为优秀拳击手的不易,成功的拳击手因为付出了很多努力所以被视为英雄,与上文衔接紧密,符合语境。故选E。
68.上文“When they watch a boxing match, they can identify with the winning boxer. This gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves.

(他们这么做是因为拳击手来自他们自己的国家,而且如果“他们的”拳击手输了,他们常常会觉得仿佛自己也输掉了一场战斗)”具体阐述了他们支持特定拳击手的原因。空处承上启下,B选项“Sometimes fans are supporting a particular boxer. (有时粉丝们会支持某个特定的拳击手)”中“fans”与上文中的“they”相呼应,“supporting a particular boxer”引出下文对支持特定拳击手原因的解释,起到了很好的过渡作用。故选B。
69.下文“Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets, a kind of strong hard hat, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with dramatic consequences. (尽管拳击手在比赛中会戴上手套,业余拳击手甚至必须佩戴头盔这种坚固的硬质帽子,但在职业和业余拳击中仍然经常发生意外,有时后果十分严重)” 提到拳击比赛中拳击手可能遭遇的各种危险情况,空处需引出下文关于拳击危险性的内容,A选项“However, boxing can be a very dangerous sport. (然而,拳击可能是一项非常危险的运动)”中“dangerous”与下文的“accidents”和“dramatic consequences”等相呼应,自然地引出了下文对拳击运动负面因素的讨论。故选A。
70.上文“To conclude, I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing. (总之,我个人一点也不喜欢像拳击这样的攻击性运动)”表明了作者对拳击这类攻击性运动的不喜欢,下文“We can celebrate more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes in our society. (我们可以在社会中把更多来自非攻击性运动的男女当作英雄来庆祝)”提出了对非攻击性运动的倡导,空处承上启下,F选项“I think it would be better if less time was given to aggressive sports on TV. (我认为如果电视上少花些时间在攻击性运动上会更好)”中的“less time was given to aggressive sports on TV”与上文作者不喜欢攻击性运动的态度相呼应,同时引出下文对关注非攻击性运动的倡导,进一步阐述了作者对于攻击性运动在社会中呈现方式的看法,使上下文逻辑连贯,符合语境。故选F。

(24-25高一下·上海闵行·期中)Cosmetic Surgeries Get Extreme
Everyone goes through it: poking at the eye bags and the loose skin in the mirror. It’s part of the human condition to fear ageing, but among the 20 and 30 something, there seems to be a heightened anxiety around growing older, coupled with an increasingly casual attitude towards getting Botox (肉毒素,用于除皱)compared with previous generations. In 2022, 27% of US patients receiving Botox were 34 or younger, compared with 21% in 2015, according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery. The idea is to stop wrinkles before they start.
So why are we so desperate to pretend we’re not growing older? For my generation, being perpetually online and scrolling through the lives of others must be a factor. It keeps us locked into a constant state of comparison. And in a time of economic uncertainty, millennials and gen Z are also unable to tick off traditional checkpoints of adulthood, so the idea that many alter their appearance to turn back the clock makes perfect sense to me. For women, our looks are aesthetic capital after all--and being beautiful can unlock social and professional success.
But these treatments often don’t come with warnings; it’s up to the consumer to research potential pitfalls (陷阱). Botched (粗制滥造的)cosmetic procedures among young people are on the rise, with too many treatments taking place in unregulated beauty salons and carried out by unqualified practitioners. Last month, three women in the US contracted HIV from a cosmetic procedures intended for the skin, when an unlicensed New Mexico medical clinic reused needles that should have been disposed of, which caused understandable alarm worldwide.
One friend who loves Botox said to me recently: “I can’t stay 28 for ever, but the aim is to look 28 forever.” I’m trying to reject the message that it’s wrong for women to look their true age. It can be hard to tune out the noise, but the alternative may mean a future damaged by self-doubt, expensive treatments or even regret. I think I’ll stick with the eye bags.

【答案】Dear Principal,
I am Li Hua, a student from Mingqi High School. This semester, I’ve noticed an increase in the number of short-sighted students around me, coupled with a decline in physical fitness. Many students frequently fall ill and take leave, or struggle to keep up during long-distance running. The possible reasons behind this situation are multifaceted. Firstly, excessive screen time significantly contributes to eye strain and reduces physical activity. Secondly, academic pressure has led to a lack of regular exercise and sufficient sleep, further weakening students' immune systems.
To address these issues, I suggest that the school implement a series of measures. These could include organizing more outdoor activities to reduce screen time and introducing mandatory physical education classes focused on enhancing overall fitness. I sincerely hope that the schooltake action to improve the current situation.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
