Ask someone else what they think.20You can ask two or three or four more people if two isn't enough.21If you mislead or lie to people about your opinions,then it's not surprising that you have a hard time trusting that people's compliments are genuine.Be more honest with people around you,and you'll find it much easier to believe what people say about you.A．They will be the tie breaker.B．You can check with someone else instead.C．The causes are complicated but the path to accepting compliments is simpler.D．How honest are you with your friends and family when they ask for your opinion? E．When someone is trying to pay you a compliment,they are speaking subjectively. F．When someone pays you a compliment,they are speaking about something that is observable. G．Similarly,when I call you smart or funny,I'm commenting based on my definition of smart or funny,that's how I see you.Have you considered contributing your skills and expertise virtually towards achieving sustainable human development efforts?Through the Online Volunteering service of the United Nations Volunteers(UNV)programme,you can connect with UN agencies,governments,public institutions and civil society organizations—from any device,anywhere in the world.While extending your network,you can also get first-hand practical experience.Requirements:·To sign up on the Unified Volunteering Platform and apply for Online Volunteer assignments,you must be at least18years of age.·There is no particular background required to become an Online Volunteer.Each Online Volunteer assignment is different and has its own requirements,set by the host organization.·As an Online Volunteer,you can only support organizations remotely in assignments up to20 hours per week for a maximum of12weeks for each assignment.Criteria and service rules:·Online Volunteers are not under contract with the UNV programme or the engaging organization.·Online Volunteers do not receive any kind of financial benefits.·For each Online Volunteering assignment,a maximum of25Online Volunteers can be engaged.

E．Simply walking more or doing household chores positively impacts health,F．It can work to break up sitting time and add steps hourly throughout the day. G．Spending four to six waking hours sitting or lying down is considered sedentary.TikTok has many clever tips and tricks to make life a little easier.From creative advice to practical skills,there is something for everyone on the video sharing App.Many of these methods have left viewers open-mouthed at their simplicity or scratching their heads as why they hadn’t thought of them first.But to save you some boring scrolling(滚屏),we have made a list of the best TikTok life tips in2021.Ready to be impressed?Chop onionsChopping onions is an emotional experience or,at least,it looks it.The vegetable can make us tear up,and salty liquid flowing down your cheeks is never a stylish look.However,a woman created a makeshift protective gear out of a hooded sweatshirt(连帽运动衫)and a pan cover. Next step,New York Fashion Week.Clean car headlightsIt is vital that your cars headlights stay in good working order so as to keep you safe.If yours are fogged up,just use a lemon and some baking soda.Many netizens have claimed that this method can save them some serious cash.Bathe your dogIf your dog hates having a bath,why not try peanut butter?While this one may seem ridiculous,one TikTok video has shown it is effective.In the clip the pet can be seen licking it off the side of the tub,as the owner cleans his fur.“I don’t even know I am having a bath.All I know is peanut butter,”the caption(字幕)reads.30．What can we infer from the first TikTok life tip?A．Chopping onions can make you upset.B．You can find the protective gear in New York.C．The makeshift protective gear is creative.D．It’s stylish to have tears flowing down your cheeks.31．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．The tips and tricks sound easy but are difficult to apply.B．You can use a lemon and some baking soda to bathe your dog.C．Cleaning car headlights with a lemon and some baking soda is economical.D．The author finds bathing a dog with the help of peanut butter ridiculous. 32．What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To analyze the reasons why people like TikTok.B．To share some clever tips and tricks found on TikTok.C．To come up with some practical suggestions on TikTok.D．To call on people to share more tips and tricks on TikTok.What motivates you to work or study harder?Is it the thought of success and all the amazing things that you can achieve,or is it the fear of failure and worry about all the things that can go wrong for you?Leaders,managers,and teachers have often used one of these ideas to inspire people to work harder and achieve more.33A recent study looked at the effect of fear-based strategies on British secondary school students.They found that if a test is seen as important,and students are optimistic that they can succeed,then the fear of failure can be used successfully by teachers to motivate these learners. However,if students are not confident,fear-based approaches could cause feelings of anxiety. 34The study also found that if students don’t care about the test,then,unsurprisingly,the fear of failure is not likely to motivate them.35It’s a fact that most new companies will fail.But does this motivate or prevent business people?Again,it’s not straightforward.The personal consequences of failure can be significant,and so founders may be motivated to work harder to avoid them.A study carried out on British and Canadian businessmen found that fear of failure can improve problem solving,as people are motivated to anticipate and resolve potential issues.36So it will help their business in the long run.37It can drive confident people to do better,but it can also increase our doubtsand turn them into barriers.A．It may motivate them more.B．But is one better than the other?C．Fear-based motivation is complicated.D．Then it can in turn lead them to do worse.E．Businessmen often run the risk of failure.F．They may also be inspired to learn new things.G．Is this idea beneficial for you to succeed?四、语法填空38．Beijing Olympic Park,also(know)as the Olympic Green,is located in Chaoyang District,Beijing,with a total land area of11.59square kilometers.（所给词的适当形式填空）五、书信写作39．假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你和你校交换生Jim准备联合参加学校组织的校园文创设计大赛(Campus Cultural and Creative Design Competition),请给Jim发邮件，内容包括：1.分享你的创意;2.询问Jim的建议。

His goal is to spread kindness and inspire others to do the same.It all started last year when Orion’s elementary school teacher suggested that the then 9-year-old enter the National Kindness Speech Contest. “I decided that I was just going to give it a shot and see how it would go,” Orion tells us. He gave a speech about how kindness could “change a nation,” and won the competition, receiving a $500 cash prize.He quickly realized he wasn’t going to use all of that money. “I’m a kid,” he says, “I have everything that I could ever want. But there are people who don’t.”Orion, who says his parents always taught him that “kindness is a virtue that we should all try to possess,” came up with the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign - a series of events to help others. Orion describes the campaign as “just an idea where I w ould spread kindness and people would be able to join the race by spreading kindness in their own communities.” He decided to start by helping children with health problems in the hospital, saying, “What better way to amuse a kid than a toy?” So, he used h is winnings to buy as many toys as possible and launched a toy fair to gather more. He collected over 600 toys, which were donated to the Children’s Health Hospital in Dallas in 2021.But Orion was just getting started. After the toy fair, he launched an ambitious “Race to 100, 000 meals” to help food-insecure people in his community. Race to Kindness partnered with a local nonprofit organization to help get 100, 000 meals donated and to feed people who might not have had a meal for Thanksgiving. The resul t? “We were able to not only reach but also surpass our goal of 100, 000 meals,” he says.In May 2022, the kindness activist decided to launch “Race to 500, 000 Books” to help families who couldn’t afford books or live in “book deserts”. When asked why he thinks of books, “I’m a huge book fan,” Orion shares, “and studies show that children who have books in their homes do better academically.”4. What does the underlined words “give it a shot” mean in Paragraph 2?A．Have a try. B．Give a hand.C．Get a big head. D．Have second thoughts.5. What helps Orion bring about the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign?A．His great passion for racing.B．His unused toys all over the place.C．Family education from his childhood.D．Heartbreaking scenes in the hospital.6. Which of the following can best describe the young boy Orion?A．Creative and childish. B．Kind and straightforward.C．Easy-going and sympathetic. D．Generous and enterprising.7. What is most likely to be discussed in the following paragraph of the passage?A．How the studies affect academic performance.B．The final outcome of Orion’s toy-gathering event.C．Orion’s future career planning after his graduation.D．The achievement of the Race to 500, 000 Books campaign.When adult humans meet a baby, many can’t help speaking in a higher-pitched (更高音的), sing-song y voice. This shift, known as parentese, is not unique to humans — it has also been observed in animals like monkeys and gorillas. Now, scientists are adding one more species to that list: bottlenose dolphins.Dolphins are intelligent animals that live and hunt in groups. They communicate in a unique way: every individual produces its own signature sound that acts much like an ID card, usually by its first birthday. But how does each come up with its distinctive whistle? For babies, it might have something to do with listening to Mum. To solve this mystery, researchers examined the sounds mother dolphins, make.Scientists studied 34 years’ worth of recordings of sounds made by 19 female bottlenose dolphins. When the mother dolphins were near their young, they continued to make their signature sound, but at a higher frequency. They also used a wider range of frequencies than they did when their babies were not nearby.This discovery suggests that using these modifications mother dolphins assist their young in learning how to produce these calls themselves. Since dolphin babies often spend some years with their mothers before living on their own, it makes sense that this adaptation would help them learn to communicate. At the very least, the higher-pitched whistle likely gets the babies’ attention. “It’s important for a baby to know,’ Oh, Mum’s talking to me now,’” says marine biologist June Mann. This kind of research could help us understan d how language developed in humans. “It is absolutely essential to have basic knowledge about other species and how they communicate,” says Mann. “I would be really interested to see whether dolphins also change their sounds when interacting with babies of others, which is what happens in humans.”8. What do the underlined words “this mystery ”refer to in paragraph 2?A．Why dolphins live and play in groups.B．How dolphins develop their unique sounds.C．What aspects of intelligence dolphins possess.D．Whether dolphins can use parentese like humans.9. How did the researchers carry out their study of dolphins?A．By analyzing mother dolphins’ sound features.B．By recording parent-child interaction frequency.C．By measuring the distance between parent and child.D．By examining the speech organs of mother dolphins.10. What is a suggested reason why dolphin mothers use parentese with their young?A．To help them learn to talk. B．To teach them hunting skills.C．To express worry and care. D．To distract their attention.11. What is the purpose of the text?A．To compare the parentese of humans and dolphins.B．To illustrate the development of dolphin intelligence.C．To share new findings about dolphin communication.D．To highlight the value of studying dolph ins’ language.If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well eat it. But what if they offered to also give you $2? You might politely decline and walk away thinking. “Something smells fishy.”In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.”In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely— compared with about 20 percent of those offered $2 as well. “People typically imagine things like someone did something disgusting to the cookie,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch, a psychological scientist at the University of Canterbury in NewZealand.Nine further experiments used online questionnaires to present other cases. These included being offered money to accept a ride home and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshold (门槛), higher potential money gain reduced part icipants’ likelihood of accepting the offer.Vonasch says the study illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions (交易) need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds.If someone seems to violate accepted norms, such as self- interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom (幻影) costs”, imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value”. Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived overgenerosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Vonasch.The researchers also showed how to make the effect less severe: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.”12. Why might people reject an offer of $2 along with a free cookie?A．They dislike a money- related offer. B．They distrust the true value of the offer.C．They think the offer is not good enough. D．They suspect the offer only lasts a shorttime.13. What aspect of the nine further experiments is introduced in Paragraph 4?A．The moral concerns. B．The research method.C．The experiments’ duration.D．The participants’ background.14. Why does the author mention the “cheap flights” experiment in the last paragraph?A．To stress the unpredictability of human choices.B．To illustrate how hidden motives affect people’s choices.C．To emphasize the importance of providing clear examples.D．To show giving sensible reasons can increase acceptance of offers.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Are you worried about “phantom costs”?B．Are you fearful of violating socialnorms?C．Why do you accept other’s generosity?D．What is an offer’s “psychologicalvalue”?Many people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. 16 . It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. So how does one approach a classic?Don’t be afraid to be confused.We get it: it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. 17 . Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.Research, research, research.18 . Researching the author and the time and place they were writing about can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.19 .This step is self- explanatory (不释自明的). While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning chance. Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula.Remember: there is no right answer.There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no fixed interpretation and no exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects are meaningful to you. Just enjoy the process. 20 . Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t perfect, it’s still valuable.Camping is a rite of passage (成人仪式) if you grow up in Canada. It’s a child’s first _______ of what living in the wild really means. But growing up as an immigrant from India, I thought it was_______Then I _______ 26 and started trying new things.

My parents had no _______ in me surviv ing one night in the wild.My friends and I _______ in the woods. As the day went on, we ate, played by the water and met our camping neighbors.

(12) I’ve heard it’s a fantastic story.M: Well then, we might have a winner! (12)W: Ha-ha!M: I like 19th century novels, too, but I tend to prefer later ones.

Dickens is probably my favorite novelist of all time, although my favorite book has to be Les Misérables by Victor Hugo.

Is it because they are lazy? Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was started by Noah Webster(1758 — 1843). He was a teacher who reformed (改革) English to make American identity (特征) stronger. Linguists (语言学家) celebrate his birthday on October 16 every year.After the Revolutionary War (1775 — 1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British dictionaries. He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like what they sounded. He used “subway” instead of British word “underground”. Some other examples are “soccer” and “football”, “fall” and “autumn”.Webster wasn’t shy about expressing his opinions. In defining (定义) preposterous(unreasonable), he wrote: “A republican government in the hands of female is preposterous.” Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary with his American-style spelling in 1828. He also added local words.His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new country achieve unity (统一) and cultural independence at a time when most people cared about political freedom.“He was the creator of our language and the creator of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a book about Webster. “He at last brought us together through our language.”4．Which is NOT true about Webster’s dictionary?A．It has local words in it.B．It is a 70,000-word dictionary.C．All the words are spelled without “u”.D．Its words are in American-style spelling.5．What does the underlined phrase “rely on” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Depend on.B．Trust in.C．Put up with.D．Give up. 6．What do people think of Webster’s dictionary?A．It is the only dictionary that Americans still use today.B．It helped to bring Americans together besides its cultural influence.C．It has no influence on the development of American English.D．It helped to make American English more useful than British English.7．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．The development of the British English.B．American English is better than British English.C．Noah Webster added local words to the dictionary.D．Noah Webster wrote an American English dictionary and reformed English.COne August afternoon, Richard Allen dropped off his last passenger, Mrs. Carey. Lifting two grocery bags, he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house. Glancing up, he saw a large wasp (黄蜂) nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting (蜇) in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again—— to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him.Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know what that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike (话筒), trying to call the mini-bus center, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock (休克). Just then he reached for the radio mike again.“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”“Five-ten,” the center replied.Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.8．It is mentioned in the passage that wasps are more likely to attack when _______.A．there are huge noisesB．strangers are approachingC．the air is filled with food smellD．the hottest season comes around9．Allen didn’t know that if stung by wasps again, he would _______.A．have no after-effectsB．suffer from sharper painC．surely lose his lifeD．become more sensitive10．Allen failed at his first attempt to send his message to the mini-bus center because _______.A．he was unable to speak clearlyB．his radio equipment was poorC．he was in a state of shockD．no one was on duty11．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Allen, A Helpless DriverB．Wasps, Bloody KillersC．A Race Against DeathD．War Against WaspsDArmy ants are mainly distributed in South America and Africa and mostly live in the Amazon River basin. They like to live in groups and generally one or two million in a group. They are migratory, have no fixed on the move. When encountering obstacles such as gaps, army ants are able to connect their bodies to each other and build a bridge for large groups of ants to pass through, saving crawling distance. The bridge can be built and removed very quickly, in seconds.Christopher Reid of the University of Sydney’s Insect Behaviour and Ecology Laboratory, said that when studying the ant bridge, he initially assumed that once the ant bridge was built the two end positions of the bridge would be fixed, and the bridge itself would be relatively stationary (不动的).However, after observation, it was found that the ant bridge would constantly change according to the army ants’ knowledge of the outside world. The ant bridge can move slowly from the original position, increasing the number of ants in the bridge, extending the length of the bridge, so that other ants may save a lot of efforts by using the ant bridge instead of taking other routes. In this way, it can continuously compress the distance to the target area.Meanwhile, the researchers have also found that the changing ant bridge does not always achieve the shortest distance. When the bridge is extended to a certain extent, the number of ants involved in the construction of the ant bridge will not continue to increase, and the length of the bridge will stop growing.Researchers believe that army ants use the best methods in the construction of bridges. Since the ants involved in building the bridge are unable to participate in other work, the colony stops putting in more ants as soon as it finds that the number of ants put into extending the bridge is out of balance with the number of ants needed for other jobs.12．What is mainly introduced about army ants in paragraph 1?A．Their migration.B．Their distribution.C．Their living habits.D．Their hunting targets.13．What did the research find about the bridge built by army ants ?A．It becomes longer constantly.B．It keeps unchanged once built.C．It achieves the shortest distance.D．It is adjusted according to the needs.14．What does the underlined word “compress” mean in paragraph 3?A．Reduce.B．Calculate.C．Neglect.D．Judge.15．What is the writing purpose of the text ?A．To stress the importance of cooperation.B．To explain army ants’ incredible strength.C．To show army ants’ collective intelligence.D．To indicate the harmony between nature and human.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

福建省莆田市第二十五中学2024-2025学年高三上学期期中考试英语试题一、阅读理解The Best Caves in The WorldHang Son Doong, VietnamNatural caves don’t come much larger than Hang Son Doong, close to the border between Laos and Vietnam. This cave possesses the largest cross-section of any known cave on the planet, a vast area that is difficult to describe. Supposedly, a Boeing 747 could fly through without damaging its wings, but that doesn’t really do justice to the vastness of Hang Son Doong. The stalactites (钟乳石) here are pretty massive too, with some reaching up to 80 metres.Waitomo Caves, New ZealandGlowworms (萤火虫) are there, as far as the eye can see. Okay, not literally, but the Waitomo Cave system on New Zealand’s North Island is best-known for the fluorescent fauna that light up the walls, giving it the not-particularly-creative but completely acceptable “Glowworm Caves” nickname. They are more accessible than other caves on this list, with rafting and adventure tours available to those looking for something a little more thrilling.Mammoth Cave, the USAIf you have certain expectations from somewhere called “Mammoth Cave”, that is entirely understandable. Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is the world’s longest known cave system, an incredible 420 miles of underground wonder. That’s twice as long as the next longest, by the way, although it isn’t unusual for the USA to go all out on such things.Reed Flute (芦笛) Cave, China Named after the reeds that grow outside, which are used to make flutes, obviously, the Reed Flute Cave’s walls are covered with inscriptions from centuries gone by—if evidence was needed that people have been paying attention to this place for a long old time. The inside part of the cave is also lit up by multicoloured lights, giving it a real otherworldly theme that adds weight to the nickname.1．What is special about Hang Son Doong?A．It was once a base of a factory.B．It is the deepest cave in the world.C．It has the highest stalactites in the world.D．It owns the largest cross-section in the world.2．Which of the following can be much easier to enter?A．Hang Son Doong.B．Waitomo Caves.C．Mammoth Cave.D．Reed Flute Cave.3．Which country probably has the longest cave system in the world?A．Vietnam.B．New Zealand.C．The USA．D．China.Food vlogger Julia Pacheco undertook an ambitious challenge to see if she could sustain herself on just $ 10 for an entire week, covering all meals from breakfast to dinner. The aim was not only to test the feasibility (可行性) of such a tight budget but also to explore how it would affect her overall well-being by the end of the week.Julia ’s journey began with a strategic shopping trip to Walmart, where she carefully selected key ingredients to maximize both her budget and nutritional intake. This initial phase set the tone for the week, showcasing the importance of planning in budget-friendly eating.Julia ’s grocery list included affordable staples (主食) like pasta, brown rice, mixed vegetables, bread, lentils, pinto beans, and some fresh produce such as apples, tomatoes, onions, and garlic. These items were chosen for their versatility (多用途) and nutritional value. The total cost of these groceries perfectly hit the $10 mark, setting the stage for a week of simple yet thoughtful meal planning. This careful selection was crucial as it laid the foundation for her entire week’s living.For the first five days, the mum’s breakfast routine consisted of oatmeal flavoured with apple. This choice was not only cost-effective but also provided a warm, hearty start to her day. On the last two days, Julia switched things up by having boiled eggs on toast, adding variety within budget. These breakfast options demonstrated that even on a tight budget, one could enjoy a wholesome and satisfying start to the day.By cooking large portions and storing them for later, she minimized waste and ensured she always had a meal ready, reducing the desire to snack unnecessarily. This approach also highlighted the importance of planning and preparation when working with a limited budget.Throughout the week, she felt full and content, proving that it’s possible to maintain a healthy diet even on a tight budget. Julia’s experience showed the potential to eat well with limitedfinancial resources.4．Why did Julia undertake the $10 challenge?A．To see if she could survive on a strict budget.B．To develop budget-friendly eating habits.C．To test the quality of food at Walmart.D．To promote a new way of living.5．What can we know about the grocery list that Julia chose?A．It fitted her budget and nutrition.B．It was full of her favourite staples.C．It was too complicated.D．It was out of a random choice.6．How did Julia manage to reduce waste during her challenge?A．By skipping breakfast.B．By preparing less staples.C．By cooking more food each time.D．By snacking unnecessarily.7．How was Julia’ s overall experience during the challenge?A．she struggled with her budget.B．she found it tough to continue.C．she ate well and felt satisfied.D．she suffered hunger sometimes.We all notice bright colors. People who choose to go eye-catching, whether they express themselves through clothes or accessories (配饰), hear everything from “No one is going to miss you at the party” to “I would never have the courage to wear that.” But according to research, those comments may be both accurate and expected.Adam D．Pazda and Christopher A．Thorstenson (2019) examined how we perceive people at first impression who wear bright colors. They specifically examined the effect of chroma (色度). They found that targets, both male and female, who were wearing or surrounded by high-chroma colors were perceived as more open and outgoing than in a low-chroma setting. They concluded that chroma is a variable of perception that can influence first impressions of personality.Drilling down further, they found that high-chroma colors strengthened viewer perspective of openness and extraversion (外向), but not other personalities. These observations are important because some job responsibilities capitalize on some of the personalities inferred through brightcolors.Pazda and Thorstenson recognize what job seekers no doubt consider as they look for a career to match their personal nature: in some occupations, success is fueled by possessing certain personality qualities. They give examples of industries such as sales and marketing as well as customer service as fields where extraverts thrive (繁荣). Accordingly, applicants for these positions may be viewed more favorably and judged as more competent if they wear highly chromatic clothing.Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the limitations of their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures. They note the possibility that chroma may influence the perception of personality differently in non-Western countries, and that high-chroma clothing may be perceived as at odds with social norms in other cultures. The practical takeaway, at least in the United States, appears to be that bright colors, like the peacock’s tail, will get you noticed. But depending on your goals, consider tailoring your chroma to the circumstances, personally and professionally.8．What is the focus of the study mentioned in the passage?A．The cultural implications of high chroma colors.B．The influence of clothing on viewer perceptions.C．The connection between clothing and job suitability.D．The impact of high chroma colors on first impression.9．What does the underlined phrase “capitalize on” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Draw on.B．Approve of.C．Subscribe to.D．Dig up. 10．Which might be a limitation of the study?A．The culturally specific findings.B．The unmonitored research process.C．The outdated data analysis methods.D．The relatively insufficient theoretical basis. 11．What is the practical advice given by the author in the last paragraph?A．Reserve bright colors for social events.B．Always wear bright colors to be noticed.C．Avoid bright colors in professional settings.D．Use bright colors strategically based on your goals.In recent decades, experiments have begun to catch up with what people who work closely with animals have always known—that animals have an inner life, and consciousness isn’t uniquely human.Consciousness is a concept that is extremely difficult to define. There have been many attempts: is it awareness, or awareness of that awareness, or self-awareness instead? But a useful working definition might be that it is any kind of subjective experience, ranging from how we perceive the external world to our inner thoughts and emotions. Because you can never be inside another living being’s head, questions of consciousness are both hard to answer and open to bias (偏见).Findings of experiments inspired a group of scientists in April to write The New York Declaration Animal Consciousness, which now has over 300 supporters. It states that there is “strong scientific support for conscious experience” in mammals and birds and “at least a realistic possibility of conscious experience” in fish and other species.That animals have some form of inner life must surely be self-evident to many people who live or work with them, just as I would guess that most carers of newborn babies don’t see these infant as senseless automatic machines. The experiences of people with thorough knowledge of either have historically, been viewed as subjective and biased, as emotional connection tends to influence logical reasoning. Our consciousness leads us to over-empathize with others we cannot truly know, the argument goes.But, as the biologist Marc Bekoff wrote, if we humans have something, then other animals are likely to have it too. I personally feel that attempts to divorce emotion, feeling and experience from how we see animals can be as unscientific. For too long, we assumed that humans are unique and animals don’t feel pain or emotions the way that we do, a convenient but cruel null hypothesis (无效假设), when we could have started from the position that perhaps they do instead. 12．Which is a key characteristic of consciousness according to the passage?A．It means any emotional experience of humans.B．It refers to individual’s subjective experience.C．It is all about how we perceive the external world.D．It refers to a common quality shared by all animals.13．Why are the carers of newborn babies mentioned?A．To show that animals are just as conscious as human babies.B．To help readers understand why animals possess consciousness.C．To argue against the view of people living or working with animals.D．To explain why animal carers would assume animals have an inner life.14．What might be the author’s attitude towards Marc Bckoff’s assumption about animal emotions?A．Doubtful.B．Objective.C．Supportive.D．Uncertain. 15．which can be the best title of the passage?A．Consciousness Improved Through PracticeB．Questions of Human Consciousness AnsweredC．Factors Affecting Animal Consciousness DiscoveredD．Conscious Experience Found in Certain Animal SpeciesRejection creates an emotional roller coaster. We feel the sadness, anger, and loss of the person who rejects us, and also our self-respect is hurt. 16 While there is no quick fix, the following suggestions can help you overcome the confusion and ease the pain of rejection.17 People tend to avoid their pain. There is no healing without feeling your feelings. There is no healing without pain. You must go through the feelings to heal. Let yourself feel the loss and the pain and express your difficult emotions. You should know that you are strong enough and can face pain with courage to heal and grow.Take it one moment at a time. It takes time to heal and for the hurt to lessen. In the abyss (深渊), it is hard to think too far, so be patient during this difficult period. Unfortunately, today, we live in the fast lane. We don’t have patience and we want things to happen immediately. Patience is a lost art. 18Develop gratitude. Gratitude is cure for pain. Pain is about what we are missing. Gratitude is about what we are having. If we focus on the negative, we will see the negatives. 19 Those who show gratitude, develop a positive attitude, and appreciate their situation minimize their pain and create more happy moments in their lives.Getting over a rejection is hard. 20 It is there to make you grow. Everyone heals from rejection at their own pace in their own way. We must sympathize with ourselves and acceptthat reality. It’s important to take your time to deal with rejection and to use the practices suggested to heal and move on to the new opportunities life presents us. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.A．Feel it to heal it.B．Don’t take it too personally.C．However, your pain won’t last forever.D．So, even if you are broken, keep busy.E．With time, the sense of loss and hurt will ease.F．This is why getting over a rejection is challenging.G．If we focus on the positive, we will see the positives.二、完形填空A young woman, swept out to sea while swimming at a beach in China, has been rescued37 hours later, having drifted (漂流) more than 50 miles in the pacific ocean. 21 as an Australian national in her 20s, the woman’s 22 ended thanks to the combined efforts of China’s coast guard and two ships.The dramatic rescue began after the woman’s friend reported her 23 Monday night while they were swimming at the beach.
