Instead of a personal weakness, boredom is a result of hedonic adaptation, where we gradually get used to things. While it helps us adapt to changes, neglecting positive experiences can be harmful. Meanwhile, boredom allows us to recognize new and potentially rewarding or threatening situations. IV. Translation 52. The two young people differ in their preferences for outdoor activities. 53.

Researchers should be careful with their data analysis to ensure valid and reliable results, rather than relying on whatever information is available. V. Guided Writing 56. The Electronic Device I Must Take While Travelling Whenever I pack for a journey, there is one electronic device that I absolutely cannot leave behind: my smartphone. It has revolutionised the way we travel. First and foremost, a smartphone serves as an indispensable navigational tool. With integrated GPS and various map applications, it eliminates the anxiety of getting lost in unfamiliar territories. It enables travellers to locate transportation hubs, discover local restaurants, and navigate complex city streets effortlessly. Secondly, the smartphone ensures our safety and seamless communication. In case of emergencies, we can contact our families or local authorities instantly. Moreover, translation apps bridge linguistic barriers, allowing us to communicate with locals abroad without much hassle. Finally, it acts as a portable entertainment and recording centre. We can capture breathtaking landscapes with its high-resolution camera, or listen to music to alleviate the fatigue of a long journey. Truly, a smartphone is an indispensable companion for modern travellers. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 复旦大学附属中学2025学年第二学期 高三年级英语学科3月第二次阶段性教学质量评估试卷 I. Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. We're in this together During lockdown, Joe Wicks's online fitness classes were a huge hit. In fact, they have been viewed more than 70 million times. For many young people and adults, the fitness instructor's videos filled a gap when it was not possible to do organised team sports because of 1          is called lockdown. 2          it's possible to take part in team sports again, it's a good time to understand how they can improve wellbeing. What is a team sport? A team sport is an activity that requires individuals to play as a team, 3          (compete) against another team. Well-known team sports include basketball, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rounders and rugby. There are others too, like ultimate frisbee and even quidditch. Research by Sport England has found that team sports are the most popular organised activity 4          (enjoy) by under-16s. What are the benefits of playing a team sport? Playing a team sport can help you to develop self-confidence, as well as teaching you how 5          (work) alongside others. Emma Barnes is Football Development Manager at the Surrey Football Association (SFA), 6          organises junior football in the county of Surrey, in England. She said, "The teamwork skills you develop help a young person to interact with different people and also celebrate the achievements of teammates." Barnes also says losing a match can be good for you, "Learning to lose gracefully 7          (be) an important lesson." Another benefit of team sports is the relationships you build with teammates and coaches. You might develop a social circle outside of school, or form stronger friendships with schoolmates, 8          of which can be really positive. What if I prefer activities 9          my own? Some people prefer individual sports, such as cycling, swimming and dancing. If that's you, don't worry. Individual sports are a great form of exercise and are good for you. Exercise helps you to be active, reduces the risk of major illnesses and releases feel-good chemicals. However, it's worth 10          (keep) an open mind because you might want to try a team activity alongside your individual sport. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. build B. precisely C. reason D. reinvent E. relative F. social G. survive H. theoretically I. traces J. transmission K. works Three things that make us human All species on Earth, including humans, are unique. Yet our intelligence and creativity go well beyond those of any other animal. Humans have long communicated through language, and invented ever more complex tools that have enabled our species to 11          and develop. ➢Our brains Without doubt, the human trait (特征) that sets us apart the most from the animal kingdom is our extraordinary brain. Humans don't have the largest brains in the world--those belong to sperm whales. We don't even have the largest brains 12          to body size--many birds have brains that make up more than 8% of their body weight, compared to only 2.5% for humans. Yet the human brain, which weighs about three pounds when fully grown, gives us the ability to 13          and think on our feet beyond the capabilities of the rest of the animal kingdom. It gave us the 14          of Einstein, Mozart and many other geniuses. ➢Language Many species communicate with vocal sounds. But language is a special form of communication. Full language, with rules for combining sounds into words, and words into sentences, probably originated at some point about 50,000 years ago. But we will probably never know 15          when and where language originated. Fossils, DNA evidence, comparisons with other animals, and studies of how languages change over time all provide clues, but spoken language itself leaves few 16         . It most likely evolved from a simpler form of communication. Chimpanzees use both gestures and vocal calls to communicate status and other complex 17          information. It is possible that our ancestors also expressed themselves first with gestures or simple words, then developed rules for linking them into sentences. ➢Learning from each other Our unique brains and dexterity (灵巧) of our hands make maximum use of tools possible, but we also rely on the cultural 18          of ideas. Culture is at the heart of being human. We put our heads together, we share ideas, and learn from each other, recognizing a past, a present, and a future. We learn from the past, 19          on this in the present, and expect the future. Without culture, each new generation would be forced to 20          the wheel. II. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Young people are indeed behaving and thinking differently from previous generations at the same age. Perhaps the most obvious 21          is that teenagers are getting drunk less often. They start drinking later: the average age at which young Australians first try alcohol has risen from 14.4 to 16.1 since 1998. In Britain, where a fifth of 16- to 24-year-olds do not drink at all, the number of pubs is falling by about 1,000 a year, and nightclubs are faring even worse. Nor are young people 22          each other as much as they used to. Fighting among 13- and 15-year-olds is down across Europe. Juvenile crime and anti-social behaviour have dropped in England and Wales. 23         , young people are less hedonistic and break fewer rules than in the past. What is going on? One possible explanation is that 24          life has changed. A study of 11 countries by Giulia Dotti Sani and Judith Treas, two academics, found that parents spend much more time on childcare. In America, the average parents spent 88 minutes a day primarily 25          children in 2012--up from 41 minutes in 1965. Fathers have upped their child-care hours most in 26          terms, though they still do much less than mothers. Another possibility is that teenagers and young people are more focused on school and 27          work. Across the OECD club of rich countries, the share of 25- to 34-year-olds with a university degree rose from 26% to 43% between 2000 and 2016. A larger proportion of teenagers 28          they will go on to university. 29         , they may be staying at home more. Mike Roe, who runs a drop-in youth club in Brighton, in southeastern England, says that ten or 15 years ago clubs like his often used to stay open until 11pm on school nights. That is now regarded as too 30         . Oddly, though, teenagers are not necessarily filling their evenings with 31          work. Between 2003 and 2012, the amount of time 15-year-olds spent doing homework fell by an hour a week across the OECD, to just under five hours. Finally, technology has probably changed people's 32         . Teenagers are heavy internet users, the more so as they acquire smartphones. By their own account, 15-year-olds in OECD countries spent 146 minutes a day online on weeknights in 2015, up from 105 minutes in 2012. Social media allow teenagers' desire for contact with peers to 33          parents' desire to keep their kids safe and away from harmful substances. In America, surveys known as Monitoring the Future have recorded a 34          in unsupervised hanging-out, which has been especially sharp since 2012. Teenagers who communicate largely online can 35          gossip, but not blows, or bottles of wine. 21. A. reason B. change C. solution D. level 22.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. （A） In the animal kingdom, not getting eaten is a top priority. To this end, some species have developed weapons, such as a painful sting or a deadly bite, and warn other creatures of this fact with bright colors and patterns. Others, lacking weapons themselves, employ a foxier strategy. They simply copy the warning signs of a truly deadly creature, and as a result of this fakery, are left well alone. This phenomenon has been named Batesian mimicry after the scientist Henry Bates, who first observed it in the mid-1800s. While collecting butterflies in Brazil, Bates observed that a number of common, slow-flying butterflies were being ignored by predators even though they were easy catches. He guessed that these butterflies must taste disgusting and that predators had learned to avoid them as a result. He later observed that certain rare butterflies of different species shared color patterns with these bad-tasting butterflies. He concluded that the rare butterflies must gain some level of protection from the resemblance. Predators had come to connect certain color patterns with a nasty eating experience, and the rare butterflies had evolved to take advantage of this fact. Instances of Batesian mimicry can be found all over the animal kingdom. The harmless king snake, for example, unlike the inflexible rat snake, has developed a color pattern that is almost identical to that of the deadly coral snake. One look at the distinctive red, yellow, and black bands on a king snake is enough to make predators think twice about eating it, just in case it packs a venomous bite like its near twin. Similarly, many species of flies have the same black-and-yellow stripes as bees and wasps. Eager to avoid getting stung, most predators will stay well clear, though in fact these flies have no stingers to speak of. These examples show that animals don't have to pack deadly weapons to survive in nature. Sometimes, just pretending to be dangerous is good enough to make predators keep their distance. For these accomplished Batesian mimics, there's really no shame in faking it! 36. Which of the following is an example of a Batesian mimic? A. A harmless animal with colored patterns that help it hide easily. B. A harmless animal with the distinctive pattern of a deadly one. C. Dangerous animals with fatal weapons. D. Dangerous animals with bright colors. 37. What did Henry Bates find while observing butterflies in Brazil? A. Rare butterflies usually don't taste good. B. Butterflies in Brazil share similar color patterns. C. The slower the butterfly flies, the worse it tastes. D. Predators ignore some slow-flying butterflies. 38. Why is the king snake mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To explain what Batesian mimicry is. B. To prove how clever the king snake is. C. To illustrate how rare Batesian mimicry is. D. To warn what distinctive colors represent. 39. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To educate people how to recognize dangerous animals. B. To introduce the ways to survive in the animal kingdom. C. To illustrate the Batesian mimicry phenomenon in animals. D. To emphasize what should be the priority in the animal kingdom. （B） A Case Against the Clock We're so busy. We schedule and make full use of our time, squeezing all the efficiency we can out of each day. Time management, we believe, is the solution to our busyness: if we could organize our time better, we'd be less busy, happier, and more effective. Is this really the case? Research shows that if you increase people's awareness of time--by placing a big clock in front of them--they do more stuff. (Think about how much work you get done on the day before vacation.) It makes sense that by getting more done, we'd feel more in control. 1.          More than that, it's one of the great fantasies of time management: If you get more organized, you will get on top. However, that works only in a finite (有限的) world. We haven't lived in that world for quite a while. In our infinite world, we will never be able to get on top of everything. When we complete more tasks, more take their place--send more e-mails, get more replies. As we seek to maximize our time, we slice and dice it into ever-smaller parts. But when we divide our attention among a thousand mini activities, we prevent ourselves from engaging deeply or thinking properly. 2.          Conversations with friends are disemboweled with frequent "productive" glances at the inbox; our ability to think is decimated by the distraction of the ping and the ring. We maintain a state of chaotic mental activity that is the opposite of the best psychological state of flow, where attention is allowed to sink into an activity without distraction, where we bring our thoughts, actions, and goals into perfect synchronicity (同步). Flow doesn't happen in a short period of time but in long durations of attention. Effectiveness comes from two core factors: prioritization and achievement. 3.          When we prioritize well, we choose to do the right things, not just the obvious things. Yet a strong time awareness makes us prioritize the urgent and immediate rather than the important and strategic. Research by Microsoft, for example, suggests that 77 percent of U.K. workers feel they have had a productive day if they have emptied their inbox. It horrifies me to see the number of blogs and books that focus on getting to an empty inbox or zero tasks, as if either achievement were worthwhile. No business or life was changed by an empty inbox. 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. We should make full use of time. B. It is not easy to schedule our time. C. Time management is not all that good. D. We should learn how to organize our time. 41. Choose three sentences from the following sentences (a-d) that best fit the blanks in the passage. a. Your Efficiency Matters b. You're Less Effective c. Your Attention Suffers d. You Just Get Busier A. 1:a;2:b;3:c B. 1:a;2:c;3:d C. 1:d;2:b;3:a D. 1:d;2:c;3:b 42. Which of the following statements is the writer most likely to agree with? A. We can never get everything done. B. We should forget about the state of flow. C. It's important to deal with urgent tasks first. D. It's wise to divide a big task into mini activities. （C） Researchers and policy makers have long studied pilot schemes (方案) such as public health initiatives or innovative schools. They find the phenomenon of the pilot delivering satisfying results, only to fade at a larger scale. This depressing tendency was called "voltage drop" by the psychiatrist Amy Kilbourne and her coworkers in 2007. The economist John List has been exploring the cause of this voltage drop, first in a 2019 paper with Omar Al-Ubaydli and Dana Suskind, then in a recent book, The Voltage Effect. So why does the voltage drop for so many promising ideas? One common problem is that the original effect was not real. Consider a famous experiment, conducted over 20 years ago by psychologists Sheena Iyengar and Mark Lepper, in which customers in a high-end supermarket were offered free samples of jam from a choice of either six or 24 flavours. The wider choice was dramatically demotivating. Ten times as many people bought jam after being shown the smaller range. It is one of the most famous results in psychology. It has also proved rather difficult to repeat in follow-up experiments. Perhaps the effect is completely nonexistent, or perhaps the effect exists but with nothing like the force exhibited in the original experiment. Does anyone seriously believe your local supermarket would sell 10 times as much produce if only it simplified its product line? Another source of voltage drop is when the original effect does not generalise beyond unusual circumstances. My favourite example is the Arch Deluxe, a hamburger launched by McDonald's in 1996 with a marketing fanfare. The fast-food giant had every reason to expect success, because focus groups loved the Arch Deluxe's bakery-style rolls, peppered bacon and stoneground mustard-mayo dressing. The problem, says List, is that the focus group enthusiasts were not a good guide to the attitude of the typical consumer: "A person who signs up to take part in a McDonald's focus group is probably someone who is crazy about McDonald's or loves all kinds of burgers, or both. But the average person, it turns out, goes to McDonald's for the Big Mac, not a fancier version of one." Even if the idea is real, and generalises to a wide audience, it may be difficult to repeat the performance once it ventures beyond the control of the original creative team. A pilot school may work well, but it is easier to hire 20 good teachers than 20,000. A brilliant chef can work in only one kitchen at a time. 43. Which of the following statements best describes "voltage drop"? A. A scheme has been piloted before being really carried out. B. A scheme serves its intended purpose well on a large scale. C. A scheme works well when tested but fails when launched. D. A scheme like a health initiative is designed for a group of people. 44. What does the writer imply about the experiment conducted by Sheena Iyengar and Mark Lepper? A. It lasted too long a time. B. Its conclusion may not be reliable. C. Its follow-up experiments showed opposite results. D. It discouraged people from going to the supermarket. 45. The example of the Arch Deluxe is used in the passage in order to explain A. why the creativity of an idea matters a lot B. why an idea may not generalise to a larger group C. why McDonald's is not popular with average people D. why the attitude of the typical consumer varies 46. The passage talks mainly about A. why some great ideas fail B. how to avoid voltage drop C. how to make a workable plan D. why experimentation is important Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. The Internet's Largest Encyclopaedia (百科全书) A. It has 1.5 million entries in seventy-six languages--and counting. B. The wide-open nature of the Internet encourages people to disregard the importance of professionalism. C. They know you could confirm anything you like by adding it yourself. D. You then use them to set up a website that can be edited by anyone you like. E. 'Oh,' they write, 'you've got a major security issue.' F. Spend enough time talking to Wales and you'll believe his life has been one long series of laughter. Being the founder of the Internet's largest encyclopaedia means Jimmy Wales gets a lot of strange emails. But the emails that make him laugh out loud come from concerned newcomers who've just discovered they have total freedom to edit a Wikipedia entry at the click of a button. 47          Wikipedia is a free open-source encyclopaedia, which basically means that anyone can log on and add to it or edit it. And they do. 48          Academics are upset. An Encyclopaedia Britannica editor once compared Wikipedia to a public toilet seat because you don't know who used it last. Loyal users claim that cooperation improves articles over time. But what exactly is a wiki and how does it work? Wikis are simple pieces of software that you can download for free. 49          Need to solve a business problem overnight and all the members of your team are in different time zones? Start a wiki. And the name? Believe it or not, the name came about because the inventor of the wiki had his honeymoon in Hawaii, where you catch the 'wiki wiki' (quick) bus from the airport. Anyway, years ago, Jimmy Wales was looking for a way to combine his two major hobbies: reading the Encyclopaedia Britannica and surfing the Internet. 'I met all these great people online,' he says, 'and we were all discussing things on mailing lists no one ever looks at. I thought, why not build something long-lasting, more fun and entertaining?' Ah, fun. 50          Options and futures trading, which he did in Chicago in the 1990s, was 'fun and cool'. Quitting his job to start an Internet company? Delightful. Paying the mortgage purely from investments? Fantastic. And Wikipedia's growth? Simply amazing. III. Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. 51. Keeping Everyday Life from Becoming Boring Last spring, I started a new exercise class. As someone who dislikes doing jumping jacks, burpees, and push-ups, I found the workouts surprisingly enjoyable, at least for a while. But after several months, my hobby began to feel like watching the same episode of a sitcom on repeat. I was overly familiar with the class routine, and my excitement had been replaced with boredom. A 2016 study for the American Psychological Association (APA) estimated that 63 percent of us suffer from boredom regularly. And research shows that chronically bored people are more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety. Even though we all feel apathetic from time to time, according to Mary Mann, author of Yawn: Adventures in Boredom, it's often seen as being self-inflicted. "Only boring people get bored" is a popular belief. But boredom isn't a character problem. It's a state brought on by something called hedonic adaptation, or the tendency to get used to things over time. This explains why activities that were initially gratifying can sometimes lose their appeal. Humans are remarkably good at getting used to changes in our lives, both positive and negative, according to Sonja Lyubomirsky, a professor of psychology at the University of California. This is a good thing when we are faced with adjusting to adversities such as losing a loved one or a job. But becoming immune to positive events can prove harmful. Think about the last time you got a raise, bought a car, or moved. At first, these experiences can bring immense joy. But over time, they become part of the routine. We are ready for the next new thing to excite us. While boredom can be a downer when it drains the pleasure from our lives, it can provide a sort of service. "If our emotional reactions didn't weaken with time, we couldn't recognize novel changes that may signal rewards or threats," Lyubomirsky says. IV.
