Parents can follow the steps below, and your kids can break their summertime tech habits and adapt to a school-friendly schedule in two weeks. Shift bedtime There’s nothing more important to kicking off the school year successfully than getting sufficient sleep. Two weeks before school begins, schedule bedtime back by about 20 minutes a night to stop kids staying up late or sleeping in. Instead of a long, fun bathtime, switch to a quick shower. Keep all digital devices out of their bedrooms and buy them alarm clocks. Set screen goals Having intentional goals for screen use can help kids change their tech habits. You might decide to make screen time a reward rather than a right. Set limits on digital activities such as no videogames until they complete homework. Don’t jump to no apps but consider using apps that control the length of time kids can use a device. Establish zones in your house where electronics simply are not allowed. Besides, get your kids involved in activities that don’t need a screen. Make a schedule A summer spent without routine can make jumping back into the structure of school difficult for kids. Setting a schedule for the last two weeks of summer can work. Ms. Rawson, founder of the Screen Time Clinic, suggests creating blocks of time that mirror those of the school day,arranging 30 to 50 minutes for an activity, depending on the kid’s age, along with a set lunchtime. Kids should have a say in deciding how to fill the day’s time blocks. The activities can involve anything but screens. 21. Before the new school year begins, kids can shift bedtime by ________________. A. using phones as alarm clocks B. sleeping in a lot C. taking a long bath D. moving to bed earlier 22. According to the passage, what should parents do to adjust kids’ screen time? A. Manage homework time with apps. B. Forbid them from using electronics. C. Reserve areas for screen-free activities. D. Remove apps from their digital devices. 23. A school-friendly schedule should _____________. A. combine study with digital entertainment. B. copy the exact school timetables. C. start from the beginning of holidays. D. reflect individual needs of kids. 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了家长可在开学前两周通过调整就寝时间、设定屏幕使用目标、模仿学校节奏制定日程三个步骤，帮助孩子打破暑期沉迷电子设备的习惯，适应适合开学的作息安排。 【21题详解】 根据原文Shift bedtime部分的描述“Two weeks before school begins, schedule bedtime back by about 20 minutes a night to stop kids staying up late or sleeping in”，可知调整就寝时间的核心是提前上床时间，对应选项moving to bed earlier。 【22题详解】 根据原文Set screen goals部分的“Establish zones in your house where electronics simply are not allowed”，可知父母需要在家划出禁止使用电子设备的区域，预留无屏幕活动的空间，对应C选项Reserve areas for screen-free activities 【23题详解】 根据原文Make a schedule部分：“arranging 30 to 50 minutes for an activity, depending on the kid’s age...Kids should have a say in deciding how to fill the day’s time blocks”，可知制定日程需要根据孩子的年龄调整，还需要尊重孩子的想法，也就是要反映孩子的个人需求，对应D选项。 B Brian Schwartz became one of the many to turn jobless under the epidemic. For Brian, the timing could not have been worse. It was a stressful time between a wife carrying a baby, a dad battling brain cancer, and everything else going on in the news. Brian needed to do something productive and he turned to mow lawns for stress relief. “I just decided to create my own good news, really just as a time filler,” says Brian. He wanted to help neighbors, just keeping himself busy mentally and physically. Brian offered his lawnmowing service free to seniors and people with disabilities in his community. As word spread of his good acts, the local media began picking up on the story. The attention got Brian thinking. There was clearly a broader need for what he was offering. So he decided to launch a website, Iwanttomowyourlawn.com, and a kindness movement was born. Pretty soon, Brian had a large crowd of clients needing others to mow their lawns and an army of volunteers, from 18-year-olds in college to recent retirees. As news of his organization spread, he also began to attract donations to help with operating costs, which encouraged him to turn the service into a nonprofit. As the organization has evolved (演变), Brian has expanded his offerings to include other services like removing trees and clearing snow. But he believes the benefit of what his team does goes way beyond the practical. “We are not only providing them with financial relief,” he says. “It’s mental and physical relief as well. And we’re hearing feedback not only directly from the people we’re helping, but also from their neighbors who thank us for helping make the community better. And I’m even receiving occasional letters from people that we might not even help, but they might have just been at the time looking for some uplifting news.” Iwanttomowyourlawn.com has become a passion. Not least of all for the benefits the kindness brings. “It stimulates my mind, my body and my soul just by helping others,” he says. “It’s a really good feeling. I feel like I’m doing something that has some meaning and purpose.” 24. What got Brian into a bad situation? A. Taking care of a baby. B. Being out of work. C. Fighting against cancer. D. Being reported in news. 25. Why did Brian create the website? A. To gain more public attention. B. To provide a wider range of services. C. To raise donations for people in need. D. To collect news of kindness movements. 26. What can we learn about Brian’s organization? A. It puts forward plans on bettering the community. B. It requires people to give feedback on the offerings. C. It gives people spiritual support as well as direct help. D. It reduces the unemployment among people in need. 27. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Good things take time. B. Every moment matters. C. Fame brings opportunities. D. We rise by lifting others. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了布莱恩失业后遭遇困境，但他通过帮助他人，最终成就了自己，收获了成功。 【24题详解】 根据第一段“Brian Schwartz became one of the many to turn jobless under the epidemic.”可知，布莱恩的艰难处境是疫情失业导致的。 【25题详解】 根据第三段“There was clearly a broader need for what he was offering. So he decided to launch a website”可知，他建立网站的初衷是为了满足这种更广泛的需求，把个人的善意行为变成一个可以连接更多客户和志愿者的平台。 【26题详解】 根据第四段“not only providing them with financial relief… It’s mental and physical relief as well”可知，布莱恩的组织既提供实际帮助，也给予精神慰藉。 【27题详解】 通读全文可知，布莱恩失业后帮助他人，成就自我、收获价值与意义。故文章的主旨是通过帮助别人来提升自我。 C Fossil by fossil, the story of the birds becomes clearer. It is now well established that modern birds are actually a group of dinosaurs, which survived a crash between the earth and a small planet 66m years ago. This impact wiped out the rest of the dinosaur world, along with a lot of other creatures. Recently a paper, published in Nature, has released the details of a fossil, which those studying it believe provides our earliest view of what modern birds were like during the initial stages of their evolutionary history. The fossil in question is called Asteriornis maastrichtensis. As its name suggests, the rock containing it was dug from deposits (沉积层) found near Maastricht. These deposits are between 66.8m and 66.7m years old. This particular rock interested paleontologists (古生物学家) because it included visible leg bones that looked as though they belonged to a bird. Such ancient fossils are rare, so instead of chancing their arms by using physical or chemical methods to explore the rock for more remains, Daniel Field of Cambridge University and his colleagues employed a CT scan, a process more familiar to most people as a medical-scanning technique. The result, an image of the animal’s skull with false colours added to clarify which bits are which, can be seen in the picture. Asteriornis maastrichtensis does indeed turn out to be a member of the modern birds. Specifically, it is part of the Galloanserae, which includes both land fowl (家禽), such as chickens and their relatives, and modern waterfowl, like ducks and the like. The skull of Asteriornis maastrichtensis exhibits features of both groups, so it most probably predates the division between them. And its discovery in Europe opens up the debate about whether modern birds originated in the southern part of the earth, as has been proposed. As to what it looked like when alive, the animal’s left upper leg, its best-preserved bone besides those of its skull, suggests Asteriornis maastrichtensis was a long-legged creature that marched around. This, and evidence that the rock it was preserved in was originally part of a fossil shoreline, has led to reconstructions of modern waterfowl. Asteriornis maastrichtensis shows that a single fossil can help to nail down previously uncertain dates. The age of the fossil, in fact, suggests that those previous estimates, based on so-called molecular clocks (分子钟), might have overestimated how early the modern birds arose. Based on the discovery of Asteriornis maastrichtensis, the smart money is now on the modern birds as a group being only a little older than the dinosaur—killing impact itself. 28. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. The details of the fossil are still in doubt. B. The deposits were named after the fossil. C. The crash caused the extinction of dinosaurs. D. The fossil is seen as the oldest modern bird skull. 29. What can be inferred about Asteriornis maastrichtensis from the passage? A. It attracts palaeontologists as a rare ancient species. B. It can present the whole picture of modern waterfowl. C. It allows researchers to confirm where modern birds emerged. D. It may be the common ancestor of modern chickens and ducks. 30. According to the passage, the author may agree that _______. A. fossils promote the accuracy of historical dates B. more investment should be made to study fossils C. we can’t trust fossils more than molecular clocks D. it’s not wise to dig the deposits for more remains 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一种名为Asteriornis maastrichtensis的化石发现，它被认为是现代鸟类最早期的代表，属于Galloanserae群体，其发现有助于修正之前对现代鸟类起源时间的估计。 【28题详解】 第二段说明：“Recently a paper, published in Nature, has released the details of a fossil, which those studying it believe provides our earliest view of what modern birds were like during the initial stages of their evolutionary history”，表明该化石被视为最早的现代鸟类头骨。 【29题详解】 第四段说明：“it is part of the Galloanserae, which includes both land fowl, such as chickens and their relatives, and modern waterfowl, like ducks and the like. The skull of Asteriornis maastrichtensis exhibits features of both groups, so it most probably predates the division between them”，说明它可能是现代鸡和鸭子的共同祖先。 【30题详解】 最后一段说明：“Asteriornis maastrichtensis shows that a single fossil can help to nail down previously uncertain dates”，表明化石有助于确定之前不确定的日期，因此作者可能同意化石能提高历史日期的准确性。 D Runners who encounter visual and auditory (听觉的) distractions (分心) may be more likely to suffer leg injuries, according to a research by the Association of Academic Physiatrists in Las Vegas. Runners often seek distractions from the task at hand. Whether it is music, texting, daydreaming, taking in the sights, or propping a book up on the treadmill (跑步机), more often than not a distraction is welcome. But researchers from the University of Florida have recently discovered that those distractions may lead to injury. Daniel Herman, MD, PhD, assistant professor at University of Florida, and his team conducted research on the effect of visual and auditory distractions on 14 runners to determine what effect, if any, these distractions would have on things such as heart rate, how much a runner breathes per minute, how much oxygen is consumed by the body, the speed in which runners apply force to their bodies, and the force the ground applies to the runners’ bodies when they come in contact with it. The runners were all injury free at the time of the study and ran 31 miles each week. Dr. Herman’s team had each participant run on a treadmill three separate times. The first time was without any distractions. The second time added a visual distraction during which the runners concentrated on a screen displaying different letters in different colors with the runners having to note when a specific letter-color combination appeared. The third time added an auditory distraction similar to the visual distraction, with the runners having to note when a particular word was spoken by a particular voice. When compared to running without distractions, the participants had faster application of force to their left and right legs, called loading rate, with auditory and visual distractions. They also experienced an increased amount of force from the ground on both legs, called ground reaction force, with auditory distractions. Finally, the runners tended to breathe heavier and have higher heart rates with visual and auditory distractions than without any distractions at all. “Running in environments with different distractions may unfavorably affect running performance and injury risk,” explains Dr. Herman. “Sometimes these things cannot be avoided, but you may be able to minimize potentially cumulative (累积的) effects. For example, when running a new route in a chaotic environment such as during a destination marathon, you may want to skip listening to something which may require more attention—like a new song playlist.” Dr. Herman’s team will continue to investigate the potential relationship between distracted running and leg injuries, and any effect this relationship has on different training techniques that use auditory or visual cues. 31. Paragraph 2 tells us the research ________. A. process B. questions C. results D. reflection 32. Based on the research, runners with auditory distractions tended to ________. A. get an increased amount of ground reaction force B. gain a faster speed with slower loading rates C. apply more force with less oxygen consumption D. breathe heavier and have lower heart rates 33. What can we infer from the passage? A. Running with distractions becomes uncommon nowadays. B. Listening to a new song while running guarantees performance. C. Runners are advised to minimize distractions in a destination marathon. D. Runners are more likely to get injured in an environment without distractions. 34. What is probably the next task for Dr. Herman’s team? A. What determines training techniques. B. What effective ways can cure leg injuries. C. Why runners use auditory and visual cues. D. How distractions should be used in training. 【答案】31. B 32. A 33. C 34. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了拉斯维加斯学术物理医学协会的一项研究，发现跑步时受到视觉和听觉分心的干扰可能会增加腿部受伤的风险，并详细介绍了佛罗里达大学Daniel Herman博士团队的研究过程、结果及建议。 【31题详解】 第二段指出：“Daniel Herman, MD, PhD...and his team conducted research on the effect of visual and auditory distractions on 14 runners to determine what effect, if any, these distractions would have on things such as heart rate...”，该段主要介绍这项研究要探究的问题：分心对心率、呼吸、发力、地面作用力等方面的影响。 【32题详解】 第四段说明结果：“They also experienced an increased amount of force from the ground on both legs, called ground reaction force, with auditory distractions.”，这直接说明有听觉分心干扰的跑步者会受到更大的地面反作用力。 【33题详解】 第五段引用Dr. Herman的建议：“when running a new route in a chaotic environment such as during a destination marathon, you may want to skip listening to something which may require more attention”，由此可以推断在目的地马拉松中，跑步者被建议尽量减少分心干扰。 【34题详解】 最后一段指出：“Dr. Herman’s team will continue to investigate the potential relationship between distracted running and leg injuries, and any effect this relationship has on different training techniques that use auditory or visual cues.”，说明团队下一步的任务是研究分心干扰在训练中应该如何使用。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Has this ever happened to you? You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. ____35____  Everyone feels stressed during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, a lack of enough preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance. ____36____ You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have revised. ____37____ Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don’t try and then you fail, you won’t feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard. So, what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test? ____38____ Yes, this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating. If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety. ____39____ You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating (分配) your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you’ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even better. A. The first thing you should do is to be prepared. B. People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways. C. If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone! D. Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams. E. Realizing time is almost up and that there’s still a lot of blank space will make you desperate. F. However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work. G. After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence. 【答案】35. C 36. F 37. B 38. A 39. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了考试焦虑的常见表现、产生原因及其带来的负面影响，并给出了几条应对考试焦虑、保持冷静的实用建议。 【35题详解】 根据第一段前文描述了考试时大脑空白、心跳加速、手心出汗、呼吸困难等经典症状，C选项“If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone!”对这些症状进行总结并安慰读者，与后文“Everyone feels stressed during exams”衔接自然。 【36题详解】 根据第二段前文提到适度压力有助于提高表现，后文转而说“你也可能觉得别人比你考得好”，F选项“However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work.”用however转折，从适度压力过渡到过度焦虑的负面影响，承上启下。 【37题详解】 根据第三段后文提到“Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don't review...”列举了人们应对压力的不同方式，B选项“People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.”作为主题句，引出下文对这些不当应对方式的具体介绍。 【38题详解】 根据第四段前文提问“So, what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test?”，后文用“Yes, this seems obvious”回应，A选项“The first thing you should do is to be prepared.”给出第一个建议，与后文“If you feel confident that you've prepared thoroughly”相呼应。 【39题详解】 根据第四段前文提到“The blank page can maximize your anxiety”，G选项“After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence.”承接，说明拿到试卷先做几道题积累信心，与后文“You can always go back and change things later”形成逻辑衔接。 第三部分书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Yuan Xin, who is now pursuing his doctoral degree, learned from a young age the only way for him to succeed was with his brain rather than brawn (体力). At the age of three, a terrible accident cost Yuan his right arm. His parents didn’t send him to kindergarten but kept him home. The idea was to ease him into learning with family care and better prepare him for further education. They believed that knowledge can change one’s life. When he entered primary school, he started receiving unwanted attention and some kids gave him nicknames. “I had doubts about myself then, but my parents told me to dismiss unfriendly noises and focus on learning,” he says. He buried his head in his books and, as a result, his academic performance stood out. It gradually brought him admiration and respect from people around him. His academic strength saw him admitted to computer science of Wuhan University of Science and Technology. “I figured it was less demanding on the ‘hand’ and more about brainwork,” he says. However, he had his work cut out for him from the start. Before college, he hadn’t even touched a computer. He couldn’t make any sense of the first class, and had no clue about the keyboard. To catch up with the class, for the first term, Yuan spent his spare time studying and practicing in the computer room of the school library. Yuan took every learning opportunity seriously and always followed up with his own actions.

Parents can follow the steps below, and your kids can break their summertime tech habits and adapt to a school-friendly schedule in two weeks. Shift bedtime There’s nothing more important to kicking off the school year successfully than getting sufficient sleep. Two weeks before school begins, schedule bedtime back by about 20 minutes a night to stop kids staying up late or sleeping in. Instead of a long, fun bathtime, switch to a quick shower. Keep all digital devices out of their bedrooms and buy them alarm clocks. Set screen goals Having intentional goals for screen use can help kids change their tech habits. You might decide to make screen time a reward rather than a right. Set limits on digital activities such as no videogames until they complete homework. Don’t jump to no apps but consider using apps that control the length of time kids can use a device. Establish zones in your house where electronics simply are not allowed. Besides, get your kids involved in activities that don’t need a screen. Make a schedule A summer spent without routine can make jumping back into the structure of school difficult for kids. Setting a schedule for the last two weeks of summer can work. Ms. Rawson, founder of the Screen Time Clinic, suggests creating blocks of time that mirror those of the school day,arranging 30 to 50 minutes for an activity, depending on the kid’s age, along with a set lunchtime. Kids should have a say in deciding how to fill the day’s time blocks. The activities can involve anything but screens. 21. Before the new school year begins, kids can shift bedtime by ________________. A. using phones as alarm clocks B. sleeping in a lot C. taking a long bath D. moving to bed earlier 22. According to the passage, what should parents do to adjust kids’ screen time? A. Manage homework time with apps. B. Forbid them from using electronics. C. Reserve areas for screen-free activities. D. Remove apps from their digital devices. 23. A school-friendly schedule should _____________. A. combine study with digital entertainment. B. copy the exact school timetables. C. start from the beginning of holidays. D. reflect individual needs of kids. B Brian Schwartz became one of the many to turn jobless under the epidemic. For Brian, the timing could not have been worse. It was a stressful time between a wife carrying a baby, a dad battling brain cancer, and everything else going on in the news. Brian needed to do something productive and he turned to mow lawns for stress relief. “I just decided to create my own good news, really just as a time filler,” says Brian. He wanted to help neighbors, just keeping himself busy mentally and physically. Brian offered his lawnmowing service free to seniors and people with disabilities in his community. As word spread of his good acts, the local media began picking up on the story. The attention got Brian thinking. There was clearly a broader need for what he was offering. So he decided to launch a website, Iwanttomowyourlawn.com, and a kindness movement was born. Pretty soon, Brian had a large crowd of clients needing others to mow their lawns and an army of volunteers, from 18-year-olds in college to recent retirees. As news of his organization spread, he also began to attract donations to help with operating costs, which encouraged him to turn the service into a nonprofit. As the organization has evolved (演变), Brian has expanded his offerings to include other services like removing trees and clearing snow. But he believes the benefit of what his team does goes way beyond the practical. “We are not only providing them with financial relief,” he says. “It’s mental and physical relief as well. And we’re hearing feedback not only directly from the people we’re helping, but also from their neighbors who thank us for helping make the community better. And I’m even receiving occasional letters from people that we might not even help, but they might have just been at the time looking for some uplifting news.” Iwanttomowyourlawn.com has become a passion. Not least of all for the benefits the kindness brings. “It stimulates my mind, my body and my soul just by helping others,” he says. “It’s a really good feeling. I feel like I’m doing something that has some meaning and purpose.” 24. What got Brian into a bad situation? A. Taking care of a baby. B. Being out of work. C. Fighting against cancer. D. Being reported in news. 25. Why did Brian create the website? A. To gain more public attention. B. To provide a wider range of services. C. To raise donations for people in need. D. To collect news of kindness movements. 26. What can we learn about Brian’s organization? A. It puts forward plans on bettering the community. B. It requires people to give feedback on the offerings. C. It gives people spiritual support as well as direct help. D. It reduces the unemployment among people in need. 27. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Good things take time. B. Every moment matters. C. Fame brings opportunities. D. We rise by lifting others. C Fossil by fossil, the story of the birds becomes clearer. It is now well established that modern birds are actually a group of dinosaurs, which survived a crash between the earth and a small planet 66m years ago. This impact wiped out the rest of the dinosaur world, along with a lot of other creatures. Recently a paper, published in Nature, has released the details of a fossil, which those studying it believe provides our earliest view of what modern birds were like during the initial stages of their evolutionary history. The fossil in question is called Asteriornis maastrichtensis. As its name suggests, the rock containing it was dug from deposits (沉积层) found near Maastricht. These deposits are between 66.8m and 66.7m years old. This particular rock interested paleontologists (古生物学家) because it included visible leg bones that looked as though they belonged to a bird. Such ancient fossils are rare, so instead of chancing their arms by using physical or chemical methods to explore the rock for more remains, Daniel Field of Cambridge University and his colleagues employed a CT scan, a process more familiar to most people as a medical-scanning technique. The result, an image of the animal’s skull with false colours added to clarify which bits are which, can be seen in the picture. Asteriornis maastrichtensis does indeed turn out to be a member of the modern birds. Specifically, it is part of the Galloanserae, which includes both land fowl (家禽), such as chickens and their relatives, and modern waterfowl, like ducks and the like. The skull of Asteriornis maastrichtensis exhibits features of both groups, so it most probably predates the division between them. And its discovery in Europe opens up the debate about whether modern birds originated in the southern part of the earth, as has been proposed. As to what it looked like when alive, the animal’s left upper leg, its best-preserved bone besides those of its skull, suggests Asteriornis maastrichtensis was a long-legged creature that marched around. This, and evidence that the rock it was preserved in was originally part of a fossil shoreline, has led to reconstructions of modern waterfowl. Asteriornis maastrichtensis shows that a single fossil can help to nail down previously uncertain dates. The age of the fossil, in fact, suggests that those previous estimates, based on so-called molecular clocks (分子钟), might have overestimated how early the modern birds arose. Based on the discovery of Asteriornis maastrichtensis, the smart money is now on the modern birds as a group being only a little older than the dinosaur—killing impact itself. 28. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. The details of the fossil are still in doubt. B. The deposits were named after the fossil. C. The crash caused the extinction of dinosaurs. D. The fossil is seen as the oldest modern bird skull. 29. What can be inferred about Asteriornis maastrichtensis from the passage? A. It attracts palaeontologists as a rare ancient species. B. It can present the whole picture of modern waterfowl. C. It allows researchers to confirm where modern birds emerged. D. It may be the common ancestor of modern chickens and ducks. 30. According to the passage, the author may agree that _______. A. fossils promote the accuracy of historical dates B. more investment should be made to study fossils C. we can’t trust fossils more than molecular clocks D. it’s not wise to dig the deposits for more remains D Runners who encounter visual and auditory (听觉的) distractions (分心) may be more likely to suffer leg injuries, according to a research by the Association of Academic Physiatrists in Las Vegas. Runners often seek distractions from the task at hand. Whether it is music, texting, daydreaming, taking in the sights, or propping a book up on the treadmill (跑步机), more often than not a distraction is welcome. But researchers from the University of Florida have recently discovered that those distractions may lead to injury. Daniel Herman, MD, PhD, assistant professor at University of Florida, and his team conducted research on the effect of visual and auditory distractions on 14 runners to determine what effect, if any, these distractions would have on things such as heart rate, how much a runner breathes per minute, how much oxygen is consumed by the body, the speed in which runners apply force to their bodies, and the force the ground applies to the runners’ bodies when they come in contact with it. The runners were all injury free at the time of the study and ran 31 miles each week. Dr. Herman’s team had each participant run on a treadmill three separate times. The first time was without any distractions. The second time added a visual distraction during which the runners concentrated on a screen displaying different letters in different colors with the runners having to note when a specific letter-color combination appeared. The third time added an auditory distraction similar to the visual distraction, with the runners having to note when a particular word was spoken by a particular voice. When compared to running without distractions, the participants had faster application of force to their left and right legs, called loading rate, with auditory and visual distractions. They also experienced an increased amount of force from the ground on both legs, called ground reaction force, with auditory distractions. Finally, the runners tended to breathe heavier and have higher heart rates with visual and auditory distractions than without any distractions at all. “Running in environments with different distractions may unfavorably affect running performance and injury risk,” explains Dr. Herman. “Sometimes these things cannot be avoided, but you may be able to minimize potentially cumulative (累积的) effects. For example, when running a new route in a chaotic environment such as during a destination marathon, you may want to skip listening to something which may require more attention—like a new song playlist.” Dr. Herman’s team will continue to investigate the potential relationship between distracted running and leg injuries, and any effect this relationship has on different training techniques that use auditory or visual cues. 31. Paragraph 2 tells us the research ________. A. process B. questions C. results D. reflection 32. Based on the research, runners with auditory distractions tended to ________. A. get an increased amount of ground reaction force B. gain a faster speed with slower loading rates C. apply more force with less oxygen consumption D. breathe heavier and have lower heart rates 33. What can we infer from the passage? A. Running with distractions becomes uncommon nowadays. B. Listening to a new song while running guarantees performance. C. Runners are advised to minimize distractions in a destination marathon. D. Runners are more likely to get injured in an environment without distractions. 34. What is probably the next task for Dr. Herman’s team? A. What determines training techniques. B. What effective ways can cure leg injuries. C. Why runners use auditory and visual cues. D. How distractions should be used in training. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Has this ever happened to you? You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. ____35____  Everyone feels stressed during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, a lack of enough preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance. ____36____ You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have revised. ____37____ Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don’t try and then you fail, you won’t feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard. So, what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test? ____38____ Yes, this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating. If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety. ____39____ You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating (分配) your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you’ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even better. A. The first thing you should do is to be prepared. B. People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways. C. If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone! D. Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams. E. Realizing time is almost up and that there’s still a lot of blank space will make you desperate. F. However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work. G. After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence. 第三部分书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Yuan Xin, who is now pursuing his doctoral degree, learned from a young age the only way for him to succeed was with his brain rather than brawn (体力). At the age of three, a terrible accident cost Yuan his right arm. His parents didn’t send him to kindergarten but kept him home. The idea was to ease him into learning with family care and better prepare him for further education. They believed that knowledge can change one’s life. When he entered primary school, he started receiving unwanted attention and some kids gave him nicknames. “I had doubts about myself then, but my parents told me to dismiss unfriendly noises and focus on learning,” he says. He buried his head in his books and, as a result, his academic performance stood out. It gradually brought him admiration and respect from people around him. His academic strength saw him admitted to computer science of Wuhan University of Science and Technology. “I figured it was less demanding on the ‘hand’ and more about brainwork,” he says. However, he had his work cut out for him from the start. Before college, he hadn’t even touched a computer. He couldn’t make any sense of the first class, and had no clue about the keyboard. To catch up with the class, for the first term, Yuan spent his spare time studying and practicing in the computer room of the school library. Yuan took every learning opportunity seriously and always followed up with his own actions. When he saw keyboards gathering dust and failing to work properly afterwards, he thought of setting up a protection cover over the keypads. He then spent half a year looking into the subject, consulting his professor and experimenting. Later he developed an idea and got a patent for it. With his remaining hand, Yuan has come up with original designs and patents that have earned him more than 60 prizes and awards. “Although there might be many hard situations to face, I will make progress as long as I work for it,” he says. 40.
