Sometimes it happens that a very special person comes into our life to welcome each day with gratitude，to cherish the moments of joy，to brave life’s challenges，and to lighten up the lives of people around. Alexia’s artworks made people happy.Her videos made people suffering hard things focus on good things and stay optimistic.Her positive mindset brought a sense of hope to those facing similar challenges. Without any good luck，Alexia passed away at the age of 16.“She made a choice to live her life with joy and optimism，” said her father.That spirit continued with her family founding an organization called Alexia’s Flight，which committed to inspiring others to live life as she did.The organization raised money for medical research and also celebrated life by sharing the message: Spread your wings and shine your light. 1.How did Alexia live her life when facing her serious disease? A.She lost faith in life for her disease. B.She was actively involved in her life. C.She made videos and created artworks to make profits. D.She hardly interacted with the kids in the neighborhood. √ 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Instead，she chose to spread light to everyone around her.”和第二段的“Alexia started a series of small gatherings...enhancing connections among her neighbors.”可知，Alexia多次组织小型聚会，以此来加强邻里之间的联系，因此推断Alexia积极地投入到她的生活中。故选B。 解析 2.What can we infer from paragraph 3 about Alexia?

Therefore，the areas controlling impulses(冲动) and decision-making are still immature. The study involved adolescents and adults aged 9 to 35 years. Participants chose between risky and safe options in a computer gambling game.Scientists found that the teenagers took the most risks compared with the other groups.In fact,14-year-old teens demonstrated the most risky behavior.In other words，they were constantly seeking challenge and excitement. In another study at the University of Texas at Austin，participants aged 8 to 30 were given money as a reward for correctly identifying an image.Scientists measured how their brains responded when they found out whether their answers were right or wrong.The teenagers’ brains released the highest levels of dopamine，a chemical associated with pleasure.Dopamine motivates the brain to seek rewards and is linked to addiction.Thus，the researchers concluded that teens are more willing to take risks in order to experience rewards. Risk-taking isn’t always a bad thing if it takes place within safe boundaries.In fact，a certain level of safe，positive risk-taking is essential for teens to develop their sense of self and gain self-esteem(自尊).Healthy risk-taking activities include playing sports，outdoor adventures，performing on stage，and reaching out to make new friends. In conclusion，there’s no getting around it：Teens will always seek thrills and push the limits.They’re made that way.But parents can help them find healthy challenges that support growth and reduce risk. 5.What is the reason for teens’ tendency to take risks? A.They lack common sense and decision-making ability. B.They don’t understand the consequences of their behavior. C.They enjoy the excitement and actively pursue stimulation. D.Their brain areas controlling impulses are fully developed. √ 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Moreover，the study found that teens took risks because they enjoyed the thrill.”可知，青少年喜欢冒险的原因是他们享受和追求刺激。故选C。 解析 6.How did the researchers carry out the first study? A.By analyzing the choices of teens and adults in the gambling game. B.By analyzing the results of the gambling game. C.By measuring how brains worked in the gambling game. D.By observing how excited the teens were in the gambling game. √ 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The study involved adolescents and adults aged 9 to 35 years.Participants chose between risky and safe options in a computer gambling game.”可知，研究人员通过分析青少年和成年人在赌博游戏中的选择进行了第一项研究。故选A。 解析 7.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to paragraphs 4-5? A.The more risk-taking teens are，the more self-esteem they have. B.Dopamine plays an important role in teens’ risk-taking activities. C.Making new friends shouldn’t be considered as risk-taking. D.Taking risks makes a teenager more eager for reward. √ 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The teenagers’ brains released the highest...Dopamine motivates the brain to seek rewards and is linked to addiction.”可推知，青少年的冒险行为与多巴胺有关。故选B。 解析 8.What is the author’s attitude towards risk-taking behavior of teenagers? A.Negative. B.Approving. C.Objective. D.Ambiguous. √ 观点态度题。根据倒数第二段中“Risk-taking isn’t always a bad thing...to develop their sense of self and gain self-esteem(自尊).”可知，作者认为冒险有的时候不是坏事，在安全范围内的冒险有助于青少年发展自我意识和获得自尊，这又是有益处的。由此推知，作者对于青少年冒险行为的态度是客观的。故选C。 解析 (2024·河北石家庄高二下期中) Sarkar is a nanotechnologist(纳米技术专家) and assistant professor at MIT. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍的是纳米技术专家萨卡尔的成长经历及其所取得的成就。 Ⅱ.完形填空 She is conducting her research on brain diseases that 1 the minds of millions of people worldwide. 1.A.enrich B.read C.affect D.poison √ enrich使丰富；read阅读；affect影响；poison毒害。根据常识和下文中的“She hopes to put nanodevices between human neurons(神经细胞) to improve the computing speed of the processor in our brains.”可知，她现在从事的研究是会“影响”全世界数百万人思维的大脑疾病。故选C。 解析 Born in Kolkata，India，Sarkar credits both of her parents as early 2 . 2.A.birds B.researchers C.failures D.inspirations √ bird鸟；researcher研究者；failure失败；inspiration灵感。根据下文中的“Her courage as a researcher comes from her ”以及“Meanwhile，Sarkar’s father her interest in engineering.”可推断，此处指的是她认为她早年的“灵感”源自父母。故选D。 解析 Her courage as a researcher comes from her 3 ，who as a young woman went against social norms(常态) in her village by 4 to fund her own education. 3.A.aunt B.mother C.sister D.grandmother 4.A.working B.pretending C.refusing D.waiting √ √ 3.aunt姑妈；mother母亲；sister姐妹；grandmother祖母。根据上文中的“Born in Kolkata，India，Sarkar credits both of her parents as early .”可知，她认为她早年的灵感源自父母，结合下文中的“who as a young woman went against social norms(常态) in her village”可知，此处指的是她作为研究人员的勇气来源于她的“母亲”。故选B。 4.work工作；pretend假装；refuse拒绝；wait等待。根据下文中的“to fund her own education”可知，她的母亲通过“工作”获取教育基金。故选A。 解析 Meanwhile，Sarkar’s father 5 her interest in engineering. 5.A.protected B.switched C.stimulated D.supported √ protect保护；switch改变，转变；stimulate刺激；support支持。根据上文中的“Born in Kolkata，India，Sarkar credits both of her parents as early .”可知，她认为她早年的灵感源自父母，所以此处应指的是她的父亲“激发”了她对工程学的兴趣。故选C。 解析 Sarkar recalls her father finding time for his 6 ，fashioning devices to make home life more 7 ，including an electricity-free washing machine. 6.A.job B.holiday C.discomfort D.passion 7.A.complex B.convenient C.peaceful D.meaningful √ √ 6.job工作；holiday假期；discomfort不适；passion激情。根据上文中的“Meanwhile，Sarkar’s father her interest in engineering.”可知，父亲激发了她对工程学的兴趣，所以此处指的是父亲的“爱好”。故选D。 7.complex复杂的；convenient方便的；peaceful平静的；meaningful有意义的。根据下文中的“including an electricity-free washing machine”可知，此处指的是她的父亲设计各种设备，使家庭生活更“方便”。故选B。 解析 “That got me very 8 in science and technology，” Sarkar says. 8.A.interested B.honest C.lucky D.disappointed √ interested感兴趣的；honest诚实的；lucky幸运的；disappointed失望的。根据上文中的“Meanwhile，Sarkar’s father her interest in engineering.”可知，此处指的是萨卡尔回忆父亲是如何让她对科学 “感兴趣的”。故选A。 解析 After 9 a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Dhanbad，Sarkar 10 California to study nanoelectronics. 9.A.starting B.earning C.needing D.introducing 10.A.adapted to B.related to C.headed to D.belonged to √ √ 9.start开始；earn获得；need需要；introduce介绍。根据常识和下文中的“Sarkar California to study nanoelectronics”可知，萨卡尔去加州学习纳米电子学，由此可推断，此处指萨卡尔从印度理工学院“获得”了电气工程学士学位。故选B。 10.adapt to适应；relate to涉及；head to朝……前进；belong to属于。根据上文中的“After a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Dhanbad”并结合下文中的“California to study nanoelectronics”可知，此处指她“前往”加州学习纳米电子学。故选C。 解析 There，she tested new ways to 11 nanodevices that could reduce the amount of 12 consumed by computers and other everyday electronics. 13 ，she made a breakthrough by developing a standout nanodevice. 11.A.create B.fix C.operate D.sell 12.A.water B.money C.power D.time 13.A.Unfortunately B.Immediately C.Obviously D.Eventually √ √ √ 11.create创造；fix修理；operate操作；sell售卖。根据上文中的“There，she tested new ways to”和下文中的“developing a standout nanodevice”可知，萨卡尔在加州测试新方法以“制造”纳米器件。故选A。 12.water水；money金钱；power电力；time时间。根据常识和下文中的“consumed by computers and other everyday electronics”可知，此处指的是制造出可以减少计算机和其他日常电子产品的耗“电”量的纳米器件。故选C。 13.unfortunately不幸地；immediately立刻；obviously显而易见地；eventually最终。根据语境以及下文中的“she made a breakthrough by developing a standout nanodevice”可知，此处指的是经过不懈努力后，她“最终”取得了突破。故选D。 解析 Along the way，Sarkar became fascinated with the 14 ，which she calls “the lowest energy computer”.She hopes to put nanodevices between human neurons(神经细胞) to improve the computing speed of the processor in our brains. 14.A.computer B.brain C.exercise D.fashion √ computer电脑；brain大脑；exercise练习；fashion时尚。根据下文中的“She hopes to put nanodevices between human neurons(神经细胞) to improve the computing speed of the processor in our brains.”以及空后的“which she calls ‘the lowest energy computer’”可知，被称为“最低能量的计算机”应该是大脑，所以此处指的是她开始对“大脑”感兴趣。故选B。 解析 “Our brains are 15 ，but we could be better than what we are，” she says. 15.A.empty B.busy C.relaxed D.remarkable √ empty空的；busy忙的；relaxed放松的；remarkable非凡的。根据常识和下文中的“but we could be better than what we are”可知，此处指我们的大脑是“非凡的”。故选D。 解析 本课结束 学科网 rbm.xkw.com rbm.xkw.com 185897.67 $Honesty is a traditional value for the chinese. Recently, one senior high school in our city developed a program to promote honesty among its students. Today, we are honored to have with us the principle of that high school mu u an, who is the initiator of the honesty program. Wu, how did you go about promoting honesty at your school? I can give a couple of examples. We first started in activity last year. Call the unsupervised examination, that is, during this examination, there is no teacher present to oversee the students. Before taking the examination, students first need to sign a letter of commitment promising to abide by the rules. It's great that you trust all of your students to sit the unsupervised examination. Well, let me clarify, is still only need some of them. In the beginning, we chose only some classes so we could get an idea if an unsupervised examination would work or not. To our surprise, IT was a great success. Students generally expressed that they like this kind of examination because it's good to feel trusted, and they quite enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere in the examination. In turn, they developed greater self control. As a result, more classes will do this examination as if next term. What fabulous students, can you give any other examples from the honesty program? Yes, for instance, we have what we call the honesty umbrella. At the start of the time, we put two hundred umbrella in the library, the canteen and the teaching buildings. Printed on each umbrella was a short statement about honest and other values, such as honesty is the best policy or it's good to share. The result was that at the end of the term, all the umbrellas were returned in one piece. I mean, not one of them had been lost or damaged. That's fantastic. What else you going to do? We are planning to expand the program take next year. As an illustration, we aim to introduce the program to another brunch of the school. A culture of honesty can exist and grow in a group environment. To put in another way, everyone needs to work together to build a culture of on esty, and we need more teachers and . students to join us. Thank you. My pleasure.
