B After college, in 1969, I got a job in the office furniture industry and sold a small room marketed as having “speech privacy”. It didn’t work—people could overhear each other—but nobody knew why the design failed, or how to fix it. A couple of years later, in Minneapolis, I founded what’s now Orfield Laboratories, a multisensory research center, to tackle problems like these. We can test everything from consumer response to the sound of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle to how lights in retirement homes affect elderly residents’ cognitive functioning. But the lab is best known for its anechoic chamber—a room that allows no sound to be reflected off its inner surfaces. It absorbs 100 percent of sound waves at specific frequencies, so you can understand exactly what noise a product will make. It’s a six-sided box made of 4-inch-thick steel panels. Every surface is then covered in fiberglass wedges(楔形物) that are 3.2 feet deep. The whole system floats independently on springs. That structure is then enclosed twice, including by a layer of 12-inch-thick concrete. Most such chambers around today are about 30 decibels(分贝), similar to a quiet bedroom. Ours averages at about negative 13. That means sound waves still present in the space are far below what most human ears can sense. People come from all over the world to tour our facility and step into the chamber. It’s sort of like being an astronaut. With the lights out, you can’t position yourself because you cannot see or hear. Folks stand still, and some even fall over. Within 10 minutes, your ears start making a continuous low sound, and after 30 minutes, you can hear your heart beating. I don’t go in often. I have a mechanical heart valve(瓣膜), and I cannot stand the movement of its machine-like clicks for too long. (　 　)4. What did the author do right after graduation? A. He worked as a salesperson. B. He did research on speech privacy. C. He established Orfield Laboratories. D. He made a living by fixing furniture. (　 　)5. What is one feature of the lab’s anechoic chamber? A. It is around 30 decibels. B. It looks like an irregular box. C. It is lined with 1-inch-thick fiberglass. D. It is made of thick sound-absorbing walls. (　 　)6. How might the author feel after staying at the chamber for half an hour? A. Inspired. B. Awful. C. Peaceful. D. Sleepy. (　 　)7. What would be the best title for the text? A. A research center is little known to the public B. Why decibels matter in the anechoic chamber C. A room is so quiet that you can hear your heart beating D. How Orfield Laboratories aids you in being an astronaut C Lately, it is getting harder and harder to find clothes that aren’t laced with plastic. When you check a garment’s fabric composition, it’s not uncommon to be confronted by a list of scientific words, which refer to various types of plastic. However, too few realize that unless you’re paying close attention, most of your cupboard contains a whole lot of plastic. Often it is invisible, like the microplastics shed by synthetic(合成的) materials; while you may never see them, they have been found at the bottom of the ocean and in human blood. So why do we continue to use plastic? The main reason is, of course, the cost. The market price for synthetic fibers is significantly lower compared to natural fibers, creating an apparent incentive for fashion brands to find ways to replace traditionally used natural fibers with synthetic ones. Moreover, making synthetic materials isn’t dependent on seasons or farms affected by rainfall or heatwaves, as is the case with cotton and wool. It’s likely you’ve seen a lot of brands promoting themselves for using plastic bottles to make their clothes. But the problem is that our plastic-based textile economy has led to unsustainable overproduction of clothing that is unhealthy for our communities and our ecosystems. And plastic clothing is still going to impact our health and have a lasting effect on the environment. Textiles made from plastic fibers are responsible for microplastic fiber shedding at every stage of their lives: when they’re worn, washed, and disposed of. These microplastics enter the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. Plus, clothing made from plastic bottles can actually shorten its life cycle. When a bottle is transformed into clothing, it often accelerates that bottle’s journey to the landfill because we purchase and abandon our clothing at such a rapid pace. While the hidden story of plastic in our clothes doesn’t have the happiest of endings, we can each take measures. Reduce our overall consumption of clothing and textile products and extend the life of our favorite garment. Learning to mend clothes can be a game-changer. When we do make textile purchases, buy and wear natural fiber products, especially those originating from land-based production systems that are working to restore and build ecosystems and soil health. (　 　)8. What can we learn about plastic from the first paragraph? A. It is widely used in our clothes. B. It is impossible to enter our body. C. It is a rare material for clothing. D. It is always noticeable in clothing. (　 　)9. What does the word “incentive” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Problem. B. Difference. C. Concept. D. Motive. (　 　)10. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The marketing strategies of clothing brands. B. The sustainability of plastic bottle recycling. C. The environmental impact of plastic clothing. D. The process of making plastic-based clothes. (　 　)11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. We might consume too much B. Measures benefit consumers C. We might wear plastic bottles D. Plastic promotes economy D The Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that you can’t step into the same river twice, for you aren’t the same person at each visit, and the water is ever flowing. It is a powerful way to represent the reality of impermanence: Everything is always changing. Many people have tense relationships with change. They deny it, resist it or attempt to control it—the result of which is almost always some combination of stress, anxiety, and burnout. It doesn’t have to be that way. A concept called allostasis can help. Developed in the late 1980s by a neuroscientist, Peter Sterling, and a biologist, Joseph Eyer, allostasis is defined as “stability through change”, elegantly showing the concept’s double meaning: The way to stay stable through the process of change is by changing, at least to some extent. The river of change has been flowing mercilessly, and it shows no signs of letting up. Societally, we’ve gone through a pandemic, the economic decline and the widespread adoption of social media, the combination of which has shifted how we live and work. In our personal lives, we continue to do what we have always done: relocate, start jobs, quit jobs, change jobs, get promoted, experience illness, get married, have children, retire and so on.  Navigating this river requires both ruggedness and flexibility. To be rugged is to be tough and determined, to know your core values and what you stand for. To be flexible is to actively respond to changing circumstances, to adapt and bend easily without breaking, to grow and even change your mind. Put these qualities together and the result is great endurance, one that helps you maintain your strong core even in fragile moments. It allows you to step into allostasis’s cycle of order, disorder and reorder—which is, of course, one and the same as stepping into Heraclitus’s river—and to chart it skillfully and whenever possible, to your own benefit. (　 　)12. What do we know about allostasis? A. It is a contradictory concept. B. It tends to focus on change. C. It advocates dynamic stability. D. It claims absolute adaptability. (　 　)13. Which of the following best explains “letting up” in Paragraph 4? A. Being pumped. B. Slowing down. C. Getting polluted. D. Rising up. (　 　)14. What will you gain from practicing allostasis according to the last paragraph? A. Popularity. B. Confidence. C. Recognition. D. Perseverance. (　 　)15. What is the best title for the passage? A. Say no to stability B. Stop resisting change C. Fight for flexibility D. Balance life and work 二、 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) A. Those memories are golden B. I know they’re no longer unbeatable C. After all, as humans, we’re always evolving D. That’s not to say that all of our trips have been without flaws E. To my brothers and me, they seemed to be bent on limiting our fun F. Planning a vacation can be considerably tricky when it involves demanding parents G. There are always challenges when we deal with different physical abilities and interests When I was a kid, I took traveling with my parents for granted. Sure, they paid for everything. But they were basically no different from teachers taking us to a field trip. 16.  　 　. For example, they took us to Denali National Park instead of Disney World. And we sometimes stayed at hotels without pools. And they never let us buy anything from the SkyMall catalog.  Of course, some 20 years later, I consider traveling with my parents, now both in their 60s, to be the utmost privilege. 17.  　 　.

And most recently, we have survived the famously dangerous Drake Passage. Meanwhile, my mom and I have stayed at an expensive treehouse hostel in Mexico and eaten at a Michelin-starred vegetarian restaurant in Vienna. And most recently, we have gone on a road trip through three states. 18.  　 　. After all, even if you’re the apple that fell right under the tree, traveling with the people who raised you isn’t always easy. “19.  　 　,” says Alexis Sherry, a New Jersey-based travel agent. Still, Sherry is seeing an increasing number of clients requesting vacations for more than one generation. It can be difficult for them to plan, but she says so far she’s had no “disasters” and that her clients often come back closer than ever.  “Our parents are our earliest attachment bonds,” says Katie d’Autremont, a licensed professional adviser based in Bozeman, Montana. “It can be healing and fun to rekindle that bond in our adult years and as our adult selves.” She sees traveling together as the perfect opportunity to get to know each other for who we are now, with “now” being the key word. 20.  　 　.  参考答案 阅读力测评(一) 一、 阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分) A Do you want to boost your ATAR, a rank which indicates the overall achievements of all Year 12 students in Australia, and get a preview of university life?
