B Our teacher,Miss Chevalier'was a small woman;with a moon face,fatty fingers and curls that sprang straight up from her head,hence the.funny name"Poodle )"She taught in our reading club.Sometimes she would look in and ask what we were reading not to check but to know. That's what happened the day my club was reading aloud a poem by Henry Lorigfellow.I-guess I was better than the others,for Miss Chevalier asked a while later,"Addie,I was wondering if you would recite the whole poem to the Saturday"evening's club."She.said a famous professor was going to give a lecture about the poet,and a presentation of that.poem would be a fresh way to start. She asked me to memorize it."But fhat shouldn't be a problem for a child of your ability,"she added. I'm.telling you,my happy feet barely touched the ground all the way home:To me,that was the biggest thing ever and I soon learned the whole poem by heart,well prepared for our.first rehearsal. I was.desperately nervous when I went to her office the next day.But the good thing was she always had the smile that would make you feel like you just did something right. Halfway through the poem,Miss Chevalier stopped me.and asked if I knew what "impetuous"meant. Despite her encouraging smile,I wanted to sink through the floor because Iwas unsure about its pronunciation as well as its meaning:Miss Chevalier pretended not to have noticed my red face and handed me a dictionary,asking me to read its definition aloud."Impetuous has two definitions:rushing with great force or violence;acting suddenly,with little thought." She asked me which one fitted the poem.I read both definitions over again,trying to figure it out,but 高三英语”第项共0页 Miss Chevalier must have read my mind."Therc is no wrong answer,"she said,"I want to know your opinion,Addie."Hesitantly,I said,"Maybe...both..." She liked that."One has to be impetuous both ways or they wouldn't dare to face up to any challenge. Would you call yourself impetuous?"I knew she was asking for an opinion."My mother thinks being impetuous for girls is improper,anyway." She said my mom was somewhat right about that."But girls should also be wise to take up challenges when needed.I believe you are such a girl." After that,I would never call Miss Chevalier"Poodle"again. 41.Why was Addie asked to recite Longfellow's poem to :he Saturday evening's club? A.To help with her performance. B.To get the'attention of her classmates. C.To set an example for the rest of the class.D.To try a new way to warm up the coming lecture. 42.Why did Addie feel happy on her way home? A.An event was going to happen. B.She was fully ready for her first rehearsal. C.She gained recognition for her performance.D.She memorized the poem sooner than others. 43.What can be learned about Miss Chevalier's personality from the way she treated Addie? A.Caring and considerate. B.Easygoing and carefree. C.Curious and open-minded. D.Disciplined and strong-willed. 44.How did Miss Chevalier succeed in making Addie truly understand the word "impetuous"? A.By asking Addie to define it in her own way. B.By interpreting the two definitions separately. C.By consulting the dictionary for its definitions. D.By linking its definitions to Addie's situations. 45.What is the probable reason that Addie would never call Miss Chevalier"Poodle"again? A.She followed her mother's advice: B.She made-up-her mind to be a polite girl. C.She was touched by Miss Chevalier's trust. D.She felt Miss Chevalier's teaching funny. C For decades,scientists hypothesized that cognitively demanding tasks,such as writing or solving math problems,require more energy than easier tasks like scrolling short'videos on'the phone or looking out of the window.However,recent research proves the view wrong.Our brains perform massively complex and metabolically costly computations all day long."Whether you're engaged in a cognitively demanding task at work or you're staring off into space,your brain is using toughly the same amount of 高三英语第6页共10页 energy,"says neuroscientist Todd Braver of Washington University in St.Louis. In fact,what feels more challenging is when a task requires the brain to go against its usual habits. Cognitively demanding work often requires the coordination of many different brain regions in novel patterns,while silencing circuits that frequently fire together. Studies have found that pushing against our brain's habits triggers an emotional response,making us feel uncomfortable."It's aversive,and it just feels bad,"says Michael Inzlicht,a psychologist from the University of Toronto.But he points out that emotional responses are subjective:they are interpretations of sensations in our bodies and brains.And we can influence how much we pay attention to these sensations and even how we interpret them. We often overestimate the struggle and pain required to complete cognitive tasks.This initial overestimation can lead us to procrastinate,or even avoid the task altogether. Studies suggest that if we can get past that initial hurdle of starting a task,then thinking becomes easier.One way to.do that is to pay attention to the benefits instead of the efforts required.In a study published in the journal Science in 2020,Andrew Westbrook,a-neuroscientist at Rutgers University,and his colleagues gave participants the choice of solving an easy memory puzzle for a.small amount of money or a much harder puzzle.for more money.The options were displayed on a screen,and participants' eye movements were tracked as they decided which puzzle to attempt.When people spent more time looking at the reward for the challenging puzzle,they were more likely to choose it.If our mind's eye,or our attentional focus,is on the benefits of an option,over time we're more likely.to choose to do hard things. Performing complex mental tasks will also be less painful if mental effort is habituated.When we don't have to make a decision to focus every day,we will save ourselves considering the costs or consequences.To make cognitively demanding tasks a habit,try to do them every day at the same time and in the same place.Add a ritual before the work starts,such as turning off the phone and launching an app to block distracting websites.After a few weeks,concentrating deeply won't just feel easier,it will actually be easier. 46.Why do people tend to feel certain cognitive tasks demanding? A.Because they consume much more brain energy. B.Because they involve more complex computations. C.Because they are objectively much more difficult. D.Because they require new brain region teamwork 47.What docs the underlined word"hurdle"in paragraph 6.mean? A.benefit B.barrier C.routine D.reward 高三英语第7页共10页 48.Why does the author quote the 2020 study? A.To support a solution.B.To present a case. C.To analyze the causes.D.To challenge an assumption. 49.What can be inferred from the passage? A.Overestimation promotes efficiency. B.Personal perception determines performance. C.Focusing on rewards enhances motivation. D.Brain reaction triggers positive emotions. 50.Which of the following can make meutal work feel easicr? A.Receiving continuous support when feeling down. B.Seeking professional help when meeting a deadline. C.Reading thick literary classics for twenty minutes daily D.Breaking down a challenging project into smaller tasks. D William Wordsworth's metaphor,"Your mind is the garden,your thoughts are the seeds.The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,"resonates with the idea that our mental landscape is similar to a garden, where the seeds of our thoughts determine the nature of our lives.This concept suggests that the way we nurture our thoughts can significantly impact our personal development and success. Our thoughts are the seeds that,when nurtured with care,can blossom into the flowers of success and happiness.Couversely,neglecting the cultivation of our thoughts can lead to a life overgrown with the weeds of failure and despair.To ensure our minds bear the fruits ofour desires,it's crucial to prepare the soil of our minds with the nutrients of education,health,and effective time management.These elements enrich our mental landscape,providing the ideal environment for our ambitions to take root and flourish. The principle of sowing :and reaping is as true for our lives as it is:for a garden.Just as a gardener who plants tomatoes expects tomatoes,we should anticipate.that.the intentional cultivation of our thoughts will yield a corresponding harvest in:life.Each of us holds the power to choose which seeds to plant,and thus,the responsibility for the outcomes we reap. Moreover,the impact of 'our thoughts extends beyond personal success;they also influence our relationships and societal contributions.Kind thoughts and actions can foster harmony and cooperation, while negative thoughts can lead to conflict and isolation.The.choice to plant seeds of empathy and understanding can result in a life enriched by strong social bonds and a sense of community.Additionally, our thoughts can shape our resilience in the face of adversity,as.optimistic thinking can guide us through challenges,whereas pessimism may hinder our ability to overcome obstacles. 高三英语第8页共10页 Drawing everything together,the garden of our mind requires deliberate tending.By selecting and nurturing positive thoughts,and by preparing the conditions for their growth,we can harvest a life rich with the fulfillment of our goals and dreams.The choice is ours:to plant the seeds of potential or to let the garden lie fallow )It is through this conscious cultivation that we can transform our minds from a plot overgrown with weeds into a garden blooming with the flowers of success and the fruits of meaningful contributions to society.The power to shape our destiny lies within us,and it begins with the thoughts we choose to plant today. 51.How does the author illustrate the concept of mental preparation in paragraph 1? A.By comparing it to the process of cultivation. B.By relating it to the achievement of personal goals. C.By emphasizing the importance of seeds in the garden. D.By associating it with the management of natural conditions. 52.What can we infer from paragraph 3? A.Life outcomes are decided in advance. B.Life outcomes stem from wishes. C.Cultivating thoughts shapes life outcomes.D.Cultivating thoughts relies on life outcomes. 53.What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A.The importance of personal success in society. B.The power of thoughts in shaping us and society. C.The role of empathy in building a strong community. D.The effect of optimism on overcoming life's challenges. 54.What conclusion can we draw from the text? A.We cannot change our destiny. B.Cultivating positive thoughts matters. C.Personal goals depend on social impact.D Our thoughts can directly lead to success. 55.Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A.Positive Thinking:The Key to Overcoming Life's Obstacles. B.From Weeds to Harvest:The Journey of Personal Success. C.The Metaphorical Garden:How Thoughts Shape Our Destin D.The Art of Inner Nurturing:Sowing Seeds for a Flourishing Life. 第IⅡ卷（共35分) 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分) A kind father lost about 57 kg in just six months after being shamed dieting when he became too fat to play with his young daughter.Chris Willis,47,tipped the scales at 172 kg following a lifetime of fatty 高三英语第9页共10页 foods.But overweight Chris turned to dieting when he realized he was too fat to play with his ten-year-old daughter,Sophie,who had a passion for running.
