Unit 2　Let’s Talk Teens 素养培优练(二) 班级： 姓名： 成绩： Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2.5分,满分20分) A Traci Ruble, a psychotherapist(心理治疗师), felt worried that people were experiencing loneliness and a shortage of personal connections. She understood that with busy lives and challenging jobs, people were unable to make these connections. So on a spring day in 2015, Ruble and a small number of volunteers set up chairs on sidewalks in 12 locations around San Francisco, California,and invited people passing by to sit down, talk for a few minutes and chat(聊天). This was the beginning of Sidewalk Talk, an organization whose mission is to create public spaces of connection where people are. Today, the organization has more than 4,000 volunteers in 40 cities. Around 25 percent of the volunteers are licensed therapists(持证治疗师). They come from different backgrounds and are a mixed group. Volunteers receive training from the organization. Listening activities are held several times a month along with other organizations. In San Francisco, Sidewalk Talk partners with Lava Mae, a non-governmental organization(NGO) that brings mobile showers to homeless people. Sidewalk Talk gives people a chance to speak and be listened to,but it is not therapy, according to Ruble. “I’m not interacting as a therapist out there,” she said. “I’m not there to solve someone’s problems,” she said. “I’m there to practice being human.” Ruble stressed that therapy is not one-sided and that therapists can practice self-disclosure(自我表露) by “being human”; she is taught to interact by sharing her own life and showing empathy(同感) to the people she talks with. According to a report, 31 percent of all Americans experience serious loneliness,including 61 percent of young adults. To fix that, building community relationships is very important. While listening activities will not solve the loneliness problem, these chats could help someone have a brighter day. Knowing that there are empathetic people who are willing to fully listen and share your feelings can make all the difference to a lonely person. 1.What can we learn about Sidewalk Talk? A.It is largely made up of licensed therapists. B.It encourages people to share and reconnect. C.It was set up with the help of other organizations. D.It aims to improve people’s language expression ability. 2.Why does Ruble stress “being human”? A.It leads to a healthier life. B.It helps people solve problems. C.It makes chats go more smoothly. D.It allows people to receive support. 3.What does the last paragraph mainly show us? A.The need for Sidewalk Talk’s activities. B.The seriousness of the loneliness problem. C.The results of being an empathetic person. D.The power of good community relationships. 4.What is the best title for the text? A.Taking Listening to the Streets B.Dealing with Loneliness by Volunteering C.Building Powerful Connections Between People D.Enjoying Having Deep Conversations with Strangers B (2024·江苏常州期末)Here’s an all-too-familiar situation: You excitedly packed for your beach trip. Luckily, you remembered all the necessities: socks, a phone charger and your passport, etc. But upon arrival, you realized you forgot to bring your toothbrush. In a new study, researchers suggest offloading important to-do items—for example, by setting reminders on your phone—could clear brain space to better remember the little things. To prove this, the researchers developed a memory task to be played on a touchscreen computer. The test was undertaken by 158 volunteers aged between 18 and 71. They were shown 12 numbered circles on the screen, and had to remember to drag some of these to the left and some to the right. The number of circles that they remembered to drag to the correct side determined their rewards at the end of the experiment. One side was “high value”, meaning that remembering to drag a circle to this side was worth 10 times as much money as remembering to drag a circle to the other “low value” side. Volunteers had to use their own memory to remember the task for half of the trials and they were allowed to set reminders on the external digital devices for the other half. The researchers found that volunteers tended to use the digital devices to store details of the high-value circles. And, when they did so, their memory for those circles was improved by 18%. “What was unexpected was that their memory for low-value circles was also improved by 27%, even in those who had never set any reminders for low-value circles,” said Gilbert. However, results also showed a potential cost to using reminders. Without reminders, the volunteers remembered the low-value circles better than the high-value ones. “Far from causing digital dementia(痴呆), using a memory device can even improve our memory for information that we never saved. But we need to be careful that we back up the most important information,” Gilbert said. 5.The situation in Paragraph 1 is described to show that 　　　　.  A.our memory is incorrect sometimes B.our memory has a certain preference C.our memory has an order of importance D.our memory is likely to weaken over time 6.What can we learn about the experiment? A.Volunteers’ performance was connected with their ages. B.Volunteers tended to set reminders for low-value circles. C.Volunteers were not allowed to use devices in the experiment. D.Dragging high-value circles to the correct side would win more awards. 7.What surprised the researchers? A.Digital devices did harm to the brain when used improperly. B.Volunteers tended to remember low-value information better. C.Volunteers’ memory for low-value content was improved too. D.Volunteers tended to use digital devices for high-value information. 8.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.We Rely Too Much on To-do Lists B.Digital Reminders Are Replacing Human Memory C.Overuse of Technology Leads to Digital Dementia D.Using Digital Reminders Helps Improve Our Memory Ⅱ.完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) On New Year’s Day,my 13-year-old son Mike broke his leg while skiing.Honestly speaking,it was no more than another 　9　 in the past five years.My family had suffered a lot and we had 　10　 that spending time outside together in winter would bring great fun and lead us through the hard time.Thus,I wouldn’t let this accident leave my kids in low 　11　—I wanted to 　12　 the very best of better plans.  At dinner on a Tuesday,it came to me.In the coming springtime,I announced,we would have a family roller disco party at the house.My children looked up,their 　13　 hanging open like caught fish—they were 　14　.I knew I was supposed to provide more 　15　.I said,“When Mike recovers,we will order roller skates and rainbow strobe lights to decorate our doorways,push the furniture to the side and have a roller disco party.”  Later that day,my youngest son wore his roller skates and 　16　 the news when he joined a Zoom call with his third-grade class.Unfortunately,　17　 he could finish announcing the news,he slipped and fell,breaking our computer.He was all right but we 　18　 bought a new computer.  　19　,the accident didn’t affect us much,for the party gave us something to look forward to and kept us entertained.It may not have happened yet,but the 　20　 and joy that we experienced while 　21　 for it have been worth it.That was the 　22　.Over the course of all the planning and excitement,the broken leg and computer,I knew that even in the 　23　 of times,there is always something to look forward to.  9.A.ache B.challenge C.memory D.adventure 10.A.hoped B.discovered C.explored D.proved 11.A.mood B.benefit C.spirits D.abilities 12.A.begin with B.come up with C.put up with D.stick to 13.A.eyes B.heads C.faces D.mouths 14.A.moved B.inspired C.surprised D.impressed 15.A.details B.benefits C.choices D.examples 16.A.stressed B.shared C.celebrated D.updated 17.A.after B.when C.until D.before 18.A.eventually B.frequently C.typically D.immediately 19.A.Therefore B.Besides C.Still D.Despite 20.A.expectation B.tension C.memory D.change 21.A.searching B.preparing C.accounting D.apologizing 22.A.beginning B.difference C.point D.answer 23.A.shortest B.happiest C.simplest D.toughest Ⅲ.读后续写(满分25分) 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Born in a remote village,Li was blessed with a warm and happy childhood despite poverty.Unfortunately,his father passed away when Li was 14,which left the burden of supporting the family all on the shoulders of the emaciated mother.Although haunted by the loss of her husband,his mother never showed her vulnerability in front of Li.Instead,she was more devoted to Li than ever before. Ultimately,Li came of age.He thought it was time to shift the heavy burden from his mother to himself.Actually,a plan arose in his mind—he wanted to be a delivery driver.But Li knew very well that his family couldn’t afford a truck,so he had to bury his dream deep inside.But his mother sensed that.Therefore,his mother secretly made a big decision! On Li’s 20th birthday,his mother gave him a gift he had always been longing for—a pickup truck.It was truly a surprise to Li! His eyes glued to the very truck,his tears swirling in his eyes,he could imagine the scene in which his mother raised money everywhere to get him the gift! Unable to utter a word,Li just hugged his mother tight for quite a while. With the help of this pickup truck,Li’s career took off.His diligence,capability,and sincerity contributed to the promotion of his family’s living conditions.Li settled in the city for the convenience of his work.Besides,Li no longer had to drive the pickup truck,as he managed to buy a luxury car.But Li knew how much the pickup meant to him,so he kept it in his garage and took care of it gingerly.Soon after,Li intended to take his elderly mother to the city,but his mother declined,stating that she preferred to stay in their hometown,where she had been accustomed to the living environment.Therefore,Li had to give up the idea.Despite his tight schedule,he stuck to regularly visiting his mother. 注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 One day,he learned from TV that a flood was striking his hometown.            Li hurried to the garage and was about to rush into his luxury car when he glimpsed his old pickup truck.            参考答案 Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。一位心理治疗师创立了Sidewalk Talk公益组织,带领志愿者们走上街头,邀请路人坐下来聊天,通过倾听和真诚的交谈帮助人们化解孤独情绪。 1.B　推理判断题。根据第二段“invited people passing by to sit down, talk for a few minutes and chat. This was the beginning of Sidewalk Talk, an organization whose mission is to create public spaces of connection where people are.”可知,Sidewalk Talk的使命是创造连接的公共空间,即鼓励分享和重新连接。A、C、D选项错误。故选B。 2.C　推理判断题。根据第五段Ruble的表述“I’m not there to solve someone’s problems”及第六段“sharing her own life and showing empathy to the people she talks with”可知,“being human”通过分享和同理心促进互动,使聊天更顺利。故选C。 3.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,作者首先指出许多美国人存在孤独问题,而重建社区关系对解决该问题来说很重要;随后指出尽管倾听活动不能解决孤独问题,但是能够帮助人们度过更美好的一天;接着给出了原因:知道有富有同情心的人愿意全身心倾听并理解你的感受,这对一个孤独的人来说会有很大的影响。由此可推知,本段主要阐述了Sidewalk Talk活动的必要性。故选A。 4.A　主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段“So on a spring day in 2015, Ruble and a small number of volunteers set up chairs on sidewalks in 12 locations around San Francisco, California, and invited people passing by to sit down, talk for a few minutes and chat. This was the beginning of Sidewalk Talk, an organization whose mission is to create public spaces of connection where people are.(因此,在2015年春天的一天,Ruble和少数志愿者在加利福尼亚州旧金山周围的12个地点的人行道上摆了椅子,并邀请路过的人坐几分钟聊天。这是Sidewalk Talk的开始,该组织的使命是在人们所在的地方创造具有联系的公共空间。)”和第五段中的“Sidewalk Talk gives people a chance to speak and be listened to, but it is not therapy, according to Ruble.(Ruble认为,Sidewalk Talk给了人们一个说话和被倾听的机会,但这不是治疗。)” 可知,本文主要介绍了一位心理治疗师创立公益组织,这个组织给人们提供说话和被倾听的机会,通过创造具有联系的公共空间帮助人们化解孤独情绪。故选A。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过使用数字设备提醒可以帮助人们更好地记住容易遗忘的小事项,并且甚至可以提高人们对未保存信息的记忆,但是过度依赖提醒可能会导致人们容易记住低价值信息,从而阻碍记忆高价值或最重要的信息。 5.C　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“You excitedly packed for your beach trip. Luckily, you remembered all the necessities...But upon arrival, you realized you forgot to bring your toothbrush...the little things.”可知,我们的记忆有一定的优先级或重要性顺序。 6.D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One side was ‘high value’, meaning that remembering to drag a circle to this side was worth 10 times as much money as remembering to drag a circle to the other ‘low value’ side.”可知,将高价值的圆圈拖到正确的一边将赢得更多的奖励。 7.C　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“What was unexpected was that their memory for low-value circles was also improved by 27%, even in those who had never set any reminders for low-value circles”可知,志愿者对低价值内容的记忆的提高使研究人员感到惊讶。 8.D　主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第一段中的“by setting reminders on your phone—could clear brain space to better remember the little things”可知,使用数字设备提醒可以帮助人们提高记忆,所以D选项是最佳标题。 Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的13岁儿子因为滑雪而摔断了腿。但是作者却并没有因此而感到沮丧,他决定做些事情让儿子振作起来。 9.B　在过去五年中,作者一家经历了很多的困难,所以儿子把腿摔断是这五年中的另外一次挑战。 10.A　经历了很多痛苦后,作者希望冬天一起在户外度过能带来乐趣,带领一家人度过艰难。 11.C　作者儿子在滑雪时摔断了腿,作者不想让儿子因摔断腿这件事而情绪低落。in low spirits为固定搭配,意为“情绪低落,意志消沉”。 12.B　根据下文“the very best of better plans”和“At dinner on a Tuesday,it came to me.”可知,作者想要想出最好的办法让儿子和其他孩子振作起来。 13.D　作者在儿子摔断腿后宣布要举办一个家庭轮滑迪斯科派对,这让孩子们非常的吃惊,所以他们的嘴巴张得像被抓到的鱼一样。 14.C　孩子们在听到作者的提议时,嘴巴张得很大,说明他们非常的吃惊。 15.A　根据下文可知,作者补充要订购旱冰鞋和彩虹闪光灯来装饰他们的门口等,作者提供了更多派对的细节。 16.B　作者的小儿子在班级的电话会议上和同学们分享了他们家要举办派对的消息。 17.D　不幸的是,在作者的小儿子能够分享这个消息之前,就摔倒了,并且把电脑摔坏了。 18.A　小儿子摔倒了,人没有什么事,但是电脑摔坏了。所以最终作者还是买了一台电脑。 19.C　作者的小儿子摔坏了电脑。尽管如此,这也没有影响作者一家准备派对这件事,空处为副词,位于句首作状语,despite为介词,不能单独作状语。 20.A　此处表达在筹备过程中所经历的那种期待和快乐是值得的,强调对派对的期待之情。 21.B　根据上文“It may not have happened yet”可知,派对还没有开始,所以作者一家正在为它做准备。 22.C　根据上文“It may not...for it have been worth it.”可知,派对还没有开始,但是他们在准备的过程中所经历的期待和喜悦是值得的,这就是这件事的重点所在。 23.D　作者一家经历了很多的苦难,但是作者觉得,即使是在最困难的时候,也总有值得期待的事情。 Ⅲ.【参考范文】 One day,he learned from TV that a flood was striking his hometown.His heart skipped a beat as he thought of his mother staying alone in the village.He immediately dialed his mother’s number,but to no avail.Worried sick,he decided to drive back to his hometown without delay.He knew he had to be there with his mother,offering her support and comfort.The thought of her facing the disaster alone made his chest tight with anxiety.  Li hurried to the garage and was about to rush into his luxury car when he glimpsed his old pickup truck.Memories of his mother’s selfless sacrifice and unwavering support flooded back.He hesitated for a moment,then made a quick decision.He chose to drive the pickup truck instead.It was not just a vehicle;it was a symbol of his mother’s love and his journey of growth.As he drove,he felt a deep connection to his past,present,and future.This pickup truck had been with him through thick and thin,and he couldn’t abandon it now,especially when it came to something as important as being there for his mother.  学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
