单元测评26　Unit 2　Improving yourself (本栏目内容，在学生用书中以独立形式分册装订！) (时间：30分钟　满分： 32.5分) Ⅰ.阅读理解(本题共8个小题，每小题2.5分，共20分) A The circadian clock, more commonly known as the body clock, is an internal system that tells our bodies when it's time to go to sleep and when it's time to wake up.Scientists track this clock by measuring the amount of melatonin (褪黑激素) circulating in a person's blood at any given time. In a healthy sleeper, melatonin levels rise a few hours before bedtime, stay high through the night, and then settle back down when it's time to wake up. In our modern society, however, most of us stay up many hours past sunset and would probably sleep in many hours after sunrise if we could.And the trouble is, your melatonin levels may still be high when your alarm clock goes off in the morning, which leads to grogginess．It may also have other health consequences as well, such as diabetes (糖尿病)，overweight and heart disease. Professor Kenneth Wright of the University of Colorado in the US wanted to see if our body clocks can be reset by a short stay in nature.His team recruited (招募) 14 physically active volunteers in their 20s and 30s.Nine went on a weekend camping trip, while the other five stayed home. At the end of the weekend, the researchers reported that in just two days, the campers' body clocks had shifted to that their melatonin levels began to rise more than an hour earlier than they did before they left on the trip.By comparison, the body clocks of the group that stayed home shifted even later over the course of the weekend. “This tells us we can reset our clocks fast，”Wright said. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了生物钟，即体内时钟，以及褪黑激素对生物钟的影响，同时探讨了现代生活方式对生物钟的干扰，以及通过露营等方式如何快速调整生物钟。 1．Which of the following is TRUE about melatonin? A．When melatonin levels are high, we may feel very excited. B．When melatonin levels are low, it's time to go to sleep. C．The amount of melatonin affects our body clock. D．Melatonin tells us when to go to sleep and to wake up. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段可知，褪黑激素的量会影响我们的生物钟，C项“褪黑激素的量影响我们的生物钟”符合文章表述。故选C项。 2．What does the word “grogginess” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Sleepiness. B．Headache. C．Stomachache. D．Homesickness. 答案：A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中“melatonin levels rise a few hours before bedtime, stay high through the night”和第三段中“And the trouble is...such as diabetes (糖尿病), overweight and heart disease.”可知，早上闹钟响的时候，褪黑激素水平高，会导致人不清醒，由此可推知，grogginess意为“困倦，嗜睡”，与A项“Sleepiness (困倦)”意思相近。故选A项。 3．According to the passage, camping can ． A．increase the amount of melatonin B．balance the hours of sleeping and waking up C．control the level of melatonin D．help shift the campers' body clocks 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“At the end of the weekend...before they left on the trip.”可知，露营可以帮助露营者调整生物钟。故选D项。 4．What may be the best title for the text? A．Mention melatonin! B．Reset your body clock C．Melatonin and body clock D．Camp, if you can! 答案：B 解析：标题归纳题。通读全文，并结合倒数第二段中“At the end of the weekend...before they left on the trip.”可知，文章主要介绍了生物钟以及褪黑激素对生物钟的影响，同时探讨了现代生活方式对生物钟的干扰，以及通过露营等方式如何快速调整生物钟，B项“Reset your body clock (调整你的生物钟)”能够概括文章中心主旨，适合作为标题使用。故选B项。 B Have you ever had something good happen to you and felt like shouting it from the rooftops? Sharing positive events with others and receiving an enthusiastic response in return has been tied to many good outcomes, including closer relationships and greater happiness.Now, a new study suggests another benefit of sharing the good stuff：more feelings of gratitude. The researchers started by asking 300 participants how often they tended to share good news, and how other people in their lives generally responded to their good news.Then, six times a day for 10 days, the researchers asked participants to report on how grateful they were in the moment, how recently they'd had a social encounter, whether they'd shared good news with that person, and how close they felt to the person as a result. Afterward, the researchers analyzed the results to look for patterns.They found those who shared positive events with others felt more grateful in the moment and closer to the person with whom they shared the news.In addition, people with a tendency to share good news and receive enthusiastic responses were the most grateful in the group, overall. Sharing good news calls attention to the good things happening in your life, says Alexandra Gray, study coauthor of Northeastern University.For example, you might tell a friend what a great time you had over the holidays, and in recounting what happened, you can reexperience the positive feelings and become even more appreciative. Getting an enthusiastic response to your good news is also important, says Gray, because it makes you feel recognized, and cared for in a way that strengthens your relationship, and also leads to gratitude. Though there's still more research to be done, Gray suggests people not hold back on sharing their good news with others, or on showing enthusiasm when others share good news with them.We all have a role to play in helping positivity spread. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。一项新研究表明分享好消息除了能带来更亲密的关系和更大的幸福感等好处外，还能带来更多的感恩之情，并介绍了研究过程及分享好消息和对好消息给予热情回应的重要性。 5．How did the researchers conduct the study? A．By analyzing participants' daily reports. B．By observing participants' social encounters. C．By studying participants' attitudes to sharing. D．By tracking participants' interactive behavior. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“Then, six times a day for 10 days...and how close they felt to the person as a result.”可推知，研究人员是通过分析参与者的日常报告来进行研究的。故选A。 6．What does the underlined word“recounting”probably mean in paragraph 4? A．Repeating. B．Analyzing. C．Inquiring. D．Recalling. 答案：D 解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段“For example, you might tell a friend what a great time you had over the holidays, and in recounting what happened, you can reexperience the positive feelings and become even more appreciative.”可知，你可以重新体验积极的感觉，变得更加感激，所以是在回忆的时候发生的，故recounting 是回忆的意思。故选D。 7．What can we infer about positive responses to shared good news? A．They boost the sharer's selfawareness. B．They serve to confirm the listener's opinions. C．They are more influential if given by friends. D．They make people more connected with others. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“They found those who shared positive events with others felt more grateful in the moment and closer to the person with whom they shared the news.”以及第五段“Getting an enthusiastic response...and also leads to gratitude.”可推知，对分享的好消息的积极回应能让人们与他人联系更紧密。故选D。 8．What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A．To discuss the key to strong friendships. B．To encourage people to share good news. C．To compare ways people react to good news. D．To analyze how gratitude improves happiness. 答案：B 解析：写作目的题。根据最后一段“Though there's still more research to be done...We all have a role to play in helping positivity spread.”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励人们分享好消息。故选B。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五(本题共5个小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分) “Find your passion！” When discussing future career options or selecting a major in college, your parents often say this.The very expression is meant to inspire.But is it good advice？“Finding” a passion implies that it already exists and is simply waiting to be discovered.Unfortunately, this idea is not what science tells us.1( ) To study this, researchers use a framework of“fixed”and“growth”mindsets.They argue that encouraging people to“find”their passion may cause them to eventually believe that interests and passions are inborn and relatively unchangeable.2( ) In contrast, people who view interests and passions as developed have a growth mindset of interest. Researchers have revealed that a fixed mindset of interest can decrease creativity.If people believe they are limited to only a few inborn interests and, in consequence, do not explore other areas, they may miss seeing important connections across domains.3( ) Evidently, people can do a lot to embrace a growth mindset of interest.First, realize that your interests and passions aren't preexisting.Take an active role in developing your passions.Second, practise positive selftalk.When you lack interest in a new task, pay attention to your inner dialogue.4( ) For example, change“I'm not interested in this” to “I'm not interested in this yet, but I know that interest can develop with time and engagement.” 5( ) But a growth mindset of interest will help you remain open and curious.The science tells us we should work toward loving what we do.We might become more creative and resilient as a result. A．So can a growth mindset of interest be taught? B．Instead passions, like interests, are developed. C．People who think this have a fixed mindset of interest. D．Of course, not every activity will become a burning passion. E．As such，seeing interests as fixed limits their creative potential. F．Don't expect that pursuing new interests will always be easy or exciting. G．Replace selfcritical thoughts with positive ones that encourage growth and learning. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章批判了“找到你激情”这个观点，认为激情是培养出来的，要秉持兴趣成长型心态，这会帮助你保持开放和好奇，有助于培养激情。 1．答案：B 解析：根据上文“Unfortunately, this idea is not what science tells us.”可知，空处句子需要照应not，即表达“this idea是什么或该怎样”，再结合前面waiting to be discovered，可以发现B项“Instead passions, like interests, are developed.”符合题意，Instead照应not。故选B。 2．答案：C 解析：上句提到“他们认为，鼓励人们‘找到’自己的激情可能会使他们最终相信兴趣和激情是天生的，相对来说是不可改变的”，也就是说，相信激情和兴趣是可以找到的人，大有可能认为激情和兴趣是不可改变的，即他们有一种固定的兴趣心态。C项“People who think this have a fixed mindset of interest.(这么想的人有一种固定的兴趣心态)”符合题意，this指代上文“believe that interests and passions are inborn and relatively unchangeable”。故选C。 3．答案：E 解析：上句提到“如果人们认为他们只局限于一些天生的兴趣，因此不去探索其他领域，他们可能会错过跨领域的重要联系”，是对局限于一些天生的兴趣的人的描述。空处位于段末，应是继续描述这类人。E项“As such, seeing interests as fixed limits their creative potential.(因此，将兴趣视为固定的限制了他们的创造潜力)”符合题意，creative potential呼应上文explore other area。故选E。 4．答案：G 解析：下句举例说明了“当我们对某个东西不感兴趣时，要用积极的想法代替消极的想法”，G项“Replace selfcritical thoughts with positive ones that encourage growth and learning.(用鼓励成长和学习的积极想法取代自我批评的想法)”符合题意，下文是对选项的举例说明。故选G。 5．答案：D 解析：根据下句“But a growth mindset of interest will help you remain open and curious.The science tells us we should work toward loving what we do.We might become more creative and resilient as a result.”中的But可知，空处内容与下文为转折关系。D项“Of course, not every activity will become a burning passion.(当然，并不是每一项活动都会成为一种燃烧的激情)”符合语境，虽然并非每项活动都会成为激情，但保持兴趣成长型心态有助于让人们保持开放和好奇。故选D。 学生用书第176页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
