As a first-year Ph.D.student,I was lucky to have kind and understanding advisers.But I felt overwhelming pressure to become a perfect student.I kept finding a million reasons why I was coming into graduate school at a disadvantage compared with my peers.As a student from Colombia,I had been educated at institutions my professors and colleagues had never heard of. I spoke with an accent that was hard to understand,and I was older than most of the people in my cohort. I noticed that most of the people around me secmed to be working all the time.I began to spend many weekday nights and weekends in the lab.But my strategy didn't work.I crashed from burnout.The tiredness took a toll on my productivity and motivation.During one of many 高一英语试卷第5页（共12页） mindless Sundays in the office,I realized I'd fallen into the trap of assuming my colleagues' work habits were the standard for belonging and bcing worthy of respect-and it wasn't sustainable. From then on,I stopped counting the number of work hours I was putting in,leaving space cvery day for excrcising and doing activitics that I enjoyed.Finally,I rcalizcd nobody was keeping track of the amount of time I spent in the lab anyway and it wasn't something I needed to worry about. I noticed that having more time for myself made me more rested and motivated when I went back to work.I continued quietly along this path for years,until that conversation in the hallway.So,when I ran into her again,weeks later.I told her that even though I was feeling a lot of pressure in the final year of my Ph.D.,I was putting my mental and physical health first and wasn't working overtime.I also began to talk with other students about how quality sleep. physical activity,healthy eating,and reasonable work hours were a daily part of my routine. 34.What can we learn about the student who talked to the author in the hallway? A.She spent much time on lab work. B.She had finished the Ph.D.program. C.She was putting in extra hours at night.D.She was concerned ahout the author. 35.How does the author feel about his work at first? A.Ambitious. B.Anxious. C.Disappointed. D.Enthusiastic. 36 Which can replace the underlined phrase"took a foll on"in Para.3?

B.Every dog has his day. C.Fitting in doesn't mean working overtime. D.A healthy work-life balance counts. c Living in a city is a well-known risk factor for developing a mental disorder,while living close to nature is largely beneficial for mental health and the brain.A central brain region,the amygdala (involved in stress processing,has been shown to be less activated during stress in people living in nural areas,compared to those who live in cities,hinting at the potential 高一英语试卷第6页（共12页） benefits of nature."But so far the hen-and-egg problem could not be resolved,namely whether nature actually caused the clfects in the brain or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban regions,"says Sonja Sudimac. To achieve causal evidence,the researchers from the group examined brain activity in regions involved in strcss processing in 63 hcalthy volunteers beforc and after a onc-hour walk in Grunewald forest or a shopping street with traffic in Berlin.The results revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased aller the walk in nature,suggesting that nature elicils beneficial effects on brain regions related to stress. "The results support the previously assumed positive relationship between nature and brain health,but this is the first study to prove the causal link.Interestingly,the brain activity after the urban walk in these regions remained stable and showed no increases,which argues against a commonly held view that urban exposure causes additional stress."explains Simone Kuhn,head of the group The authors show that nature has a positive impact on brain regions involved in stress processing and that it can already be observed after a one-hour walk.This contributes to the understanding of how our physical living environment affects brain and mental health.Even a short exposure to nature decreases amygdala activity,suggesting that a walk in nature could serve as a preventive measure against developing mental health problems and reducing the potentially disadvantageous impact of the city on the brain. In order to investigate beneficial effects of nature in different populations and age groups, the researchers are currently working on a study examining how a one-hour walk in natural versus urban environments impacts stress in mothers and their babies. 38.What does the hen-and-egg problem mean by Sonja Sudimac? A.It's hard to clarify the impact of living environment on mental health B.People in cities tend to have a higher risk of mental problems C.It's unnecessary to work out the complex issue of stress and health D.Living in rural areas actually affects brain activity. 39.How did researchers collect evidence for the study? A.By comparing volunteers'amygdala activities B.By intcrvicwing healthy volunteers. C.By researching on a previous theory. D.By quoting authoritative experts. 高一英语试卷第7页（共12页） 40.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A.Berefits of a regular walk in naturc. B.An appeal for living in urban regions. C.The focus of the follow-up research. D Nature's positive cffects on womcn and children 41.Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage? A.Urban-Rural L.iving:Mental Impact Debates B.Nature Exposure:Benefits for Brain Stress C.Amygdala Activity:Key to Stress Relief D.Urban Environment:Brain Health Risks D You spend a third of your life asleep.a cettain part of which involves dreaming.But most often,you don't remember any of your dreams. While the exact reason of why we can hardly recall our dreams is not fully known.scientists have gotten some insight into memory processes during sleep.leading to several ideas that may explain our forgetfulness. You are awake,but is your hippocampus (awake?When we fall asieep,not all the brain's regions go offline at the same time.Researchers have found one of the last regions to go to sieep is the hippocampus,a structure in brain that is important for moving information from short-term memory into long-term memory "If the hippocampus is the last to go to sleep.it could very well be the last to wake up," said Thomas Andrillon,a neuroscientist at Monash University in Melboure,Australia."So,you could have this window where you wake up with a dream in your short-term memory,but since the hippocampus is not fully awake yet,your brain is not able to keep that memory,"Andrillon told Live Science. While this might explain why dream memories are so fleeting,it doesn't mean that your hippocampus has been inactive throughout the night.In fact,this region is quite active during sleep,and appears to be storing and caring for existing memories to strengthen them,instead of listening for incoming new experiences. Sometimes your dreams are just not memorable?Do you remember what you were thinking about this morning when brushing your leeth?Our minds wander all the time,but we get rid of most of those thoughts as unimportant information.Dreams,especially ordinary ones,may be 高一英语试卷第8页（共12页） just like daydreaming (houghts and believed by the brain to be too useless to remember.But dreams that are morc vivid,cmotional and cohcrent()sccm to bc better remembered- perhaps because they cause more awakening,and their organized story makes them easier to store If you are intcrested in improving your dream recall,therc are a few tricks to try.One is drinking water before bed,because it will make you wake up at night to use the bathroom.These middle-of-the-night awakenings are frequently accompanied by dream recall.Repeatedly reminding yourself that you want to remember your dreams may increase your chances,and so does keeping a dream journal,some studies have suggested.Upon waking up,hang on to that fragile()dream memory:keep your eyes closed.stay still and replay the dream memory, until your hippocampus catches up and properly stores the memory. 42.What can we learn about dreams from the passage? A.Dreaming means processing memory during sleeping B.Dreams come from your hippocampus C We need special trainings to recall our dreams. D.Dreams are sometimes useless for us to remember. 43.You can't remember your dreams when you wake up probably because A.you are forgetful and poor in remembering things B.your dreams are vivid,emotional and coherent C.your brain needs to start up to move dreams into long-term memory D.your hippocampus is active in receiving new information 44.Which of the following CANNOT help you to recall a dream? A.Keep reminding yourself of the need to remember your dreams. B.Improve the ability of your hippocampus to catch up information. C Record what you can remember in your dreams upon awakening D.Think back on the things in your dreams directly after you wake up. 45.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To explain our forgetfulness in dreams. To tell the importance of dreams. C To present some methods to recall dreams. D.To analyze how our brain deal with information. 高一英语试卷第9页（供12页） 1V.阅读表达（4648题，每题2分；49题4分。共10分) 阅读知义，根据短文内容答问题。 The world is becoming less livable because of climate change and the loss ot nature:What do you think would help you and your friends change your lifestyles and do something to make a healthicr planet?How can we cmpower young pcople to help protcct the Earth?
