高二英语6月月考试题(13)

高二下学期6月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解International ApplicationThe University of Cambridge welcomes applications from suitably qualified international students. We recognize the great academic and cultural value of a diverse student body. Admitting students from outside the UK allows us to seek talent from the widest possible pool.Attracting so many talented international applicants means competition for places is fierce. However, academic achievement and potential remain the selection criteria for senior high school candidates.The application processThe application process is the same for all applicants. Whilst much of the information presented on this website is focused on GCE, and A Levels, many other school and national examinations at an equal level are also acceptable.All applications to UK universities are made through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS）, which operates on a pre-qualification basis where offers are made in advance of applicants achieving their final grades. Offer holders are finally confirmed or rejected once the results for the relevant qualifications are received.UCAS will require applicants’ predicted grades. A predicted grade is the grade of qualification an applicant’s school believes they are likely to achieve, all things being well. These predicted grades are used during the admissions process to help the University understand each applicant’s potential.For a step-by-step guide, please refer to our main Applying pages.Application feeMost international applicants are required to pay an application fee of £60. This is a standard charge that supports the administration of the application process and maintenance of the systems used in this process. See Terms and conditions of the application fee.1．Why does the Cambridge university welcome overseas students?A．They are foreigners.B．They are more qualified than local students.C．They will provide diversity for the campus.D．They will be recognized by the UK government.2．Which of the following is true about the application process?A．Gaokao results can play a part.B．International experience is a must.C．An offer is the guarantee of admission.D．Applicant’s school can predict the result.3．Who would be the most likely target reader of the text?A．A British twelfth grader.B．A Hong Kong eleventh grader.C．A student in Peking University.D．A junior high school student from Beijing.Ms. McIntyre, 38, worked as a publisher. She suffered brain cancer and her health got worse despite some medical treatment. But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had insurance to help pay for her medical care. But Ms. McIntyre and her husband, Mr. Gregory, knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay.Though her health was failing, Ms. McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could. The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. The group can pay off medical bills for about 100 times less money than they cost. In other words, for every 100 donated, the group can pay off 10,000 in unpaid medical bills.Unfortunately, Ms. McIntyre passed away before long. Mr. Gregory posted a message for Ms. McIntyre on her social media accounts. “If you’re reading this, I have passed away,” the post began. Then the post explained, “To celebrate my life, I’ve arranged to buy up others’ medical debts and then destroy the debts.”The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had hoped to raise about $20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10times more than expected and the donations are still coming in. By November 22, 2023, Ms. McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627,000, or enough money to pay off about $60 million in medical debts.Mr. Gregory planned a special event in December to celebrate Ms. McIntyre’s life and to announce how many millions of dollars of medical debts her efforts had paid for.4．Why did Ms. McIntyre feel luckier than some other people?A．The doctors eventually cured her.B．Her disease didn’t become worse.C．She had a decent job before being ill.D．She had security about medical care. 5．How did Ms. McIntyre and her husband help others?A．By paying for their daily debts.B．By giving away money to them.C．By ridding them of debts from treatments.D．By purchasing medical insurance for them. 6．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A．The public involvement.B．The couple’s commitment.C．The operation of a website.D．The increase of medical debts.7．Which of the following words can best describe Ms. McIntyre?A．Humorous and elegant.B．Influential and understanding.C．Cautious and promising.D．Enthusiastic and adaptable.Addiction to watching seven episodes of Real Housewives or “wasting” the afternoon watching back-to-back classic baseball games isn’t going to melt our brains. In fact, studies suggest that “playing a video game or watching a movie or television show can restore some psychological resources,” says Robin Nabi, PhD, a professor of communication at the University of California, Santa Barbara, who specializes in the effects of media on emotions.Though the benefits have yet to be studied long-term and our problems don’t magically disappear once we turn off the tube, rest can reduce stress levels. Giving ourselves permission to enjoy some downtime is also a key part of self-sympathy, which helps prevent anxiety and depression.“We don’t focus as much on relaxation and playing and enjoyment and fun, and these are such important aspects of being a human being,” says Nabi. “And feeling guilty about activities we enjoy, or criticizing them, can detract (损害) from the benefits they offer us.”Therefore, it’s time to embrace our need for pleasure. One big reason to do so is that talking about our common interests and pursuits, whatever they may be, is a way to connect with others. The most important value of a guilty pleasure might just be the bond it can create between people who share it. You’ll never find those connections if you don’t speak up. So stop apologizing. You might just find that it reduces any remaining guilt and makes it easier to discover more things you enjoy.“Lots of the time, guilty pleasures get talked about in terms of genre (类型),” says Nabi. But it can help to think about what you like specifically, she points out. “You probably don’t like all boy bands, so what is it about this particular group and their music? Whatever it is, find your little niche and go for that. And don’t be ashamed of what that is, because clearly it’s doing something for you.”8．How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?A．By listing examples.B．By giving definitions.C．By making a contrast.D．By providing background information.9．What does Nabi think of people’s guilty feeling about pleasure?A．It is normal.B．It is beneficial.C．It is confusing.D．It is unnecessary.10．What does the underlined word “niche” in the last paragraph refer to?A．A job someone is responsible for.B．An activity suitable for someone.C．A pleasure bringing someone guilt.D．A small case someone cares little about.11．Which of following opinions would the author agree with?A．Don’t be addicted to entertainment.B．Develop new hobbies to reduce pressure.C．View our demand for pleasure positively.D．Stay away from guilty pleasures.That’s why I want speaking skills, sometimes called “oracy”, to play an important part in Labor’s plans for a reformed school curriculum (课程).Employers value speaking skills equally with reading and writing. The ability to speak well and express yourself should be something every child should master. But the curriculum doesn’t allow us to provide this. This is short-sighted. An inability to express your thoughts fluently is a key barrier to getting on and doing well in life.Oracy is in part about good public speaking and debating skills, but in reality, it’s about teaching young people to make strong arguments, choose wise words, understand their audience, form meaningful social connections, and use facial expressions and body language to convey their message. Above all else it’s about finding your voice. To work out who you are and what you believe. If reading opens up a world of imagination and possibility, then speaking and listening opens up a lifetime of empowerment-a chance for those who feel invisible in their own country to be heard. It is about the confidence to speak out, to call out injustice or harm.And the other side of speaking is listening, which can also be taught. Listening, truly listening, develops tolerance and understanding. And as parents we can play our part. We’ve all been there, at mealtimes, silent as we all stare at our devices. Our job, all of ours, is to get off our screens and give young people, and adults, the gift of listening.So, oracy―speaking and listening―needs to be placed firmly at the heart of school life. 12．How does talk help a politician?A．It deepens his wishful thinking.B．It enhances his analytical skills.C．It strengthens persuasive power.D．It provides emotional support.13．Why does the author suggest a reform in the British school curriculum?A．Employers underestimate the value of speaking.B．Academic pressure makes students poor-sighted.C．Spoken language is regarded as least important.D．Oracy should deserve more attention at school.14．How does the author illustrate his argument in paragraph 4?A．By sharing different opinions.B．By clarifying the definition.C．By describing personal experiences.D．By employing the concept.15．What are parents advised to do?A．Set a good example for their children.B．Balance screen time and mealtime.C．Have oral face-to-face communication.D．Disconnect from the virtual world.Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. 16 However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog’s life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.Some people say we live in a dog eat dog world. 17 They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.18 This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.19 People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite.Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard.20A．Furthermore, people say every dog has its day.B．Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways.C．In other words, we do not want it to rain cats and dogs.D．There are many other expressions waiting for you to explore.E．Dogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people whatever happens.F．That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs.G．They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food.二、完形填空My son was playing with a bottle of bubbles.

高二下学期6月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The best science books inspire a sense of wonder and make you amazed at the incredible world we live in. Here are four of them to feed your imagination.A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill BrysonHow did it all begin? And how did we get here? Combining history and science, the book offers a comprehensive yet entertaining answer to these questions. Bill Bryson takes the reader on an impressive journey through the greatest scientific discoveries in history. It explains scientific topics in a vivid way, but it’s quite a long read.Thing Explainer by Randall MunroeHow do helicopters work? Or cells? Randall Munroe explains how things work using illustrations and only the most common 1,000 words in English. It will shift your approach to explanation. So, next time explain how something works rather than merely call it by its name. However, additionally providing more technical terms might have enhanced the understanding and learning experience.Ask an Astronaut by Tim PeakeWhat does it feel like to fly into space? How do you prepare for it? Astronaut Tim Peake answers all the questions you never knew about going into space. The book gives insights into the cutting-edge science, as well as the day-to-day life on board of the International Space Station. Its question and answer format makes it easy to quickly find answers, but it can become less appealing due to the lack of descriptive language.Deep Time by Riley BlackWant to know the story of our planet? Riley Black takes us on a journey, in the order of time, through the geological (地质的) events that have shaped our planet. The fascinating high-quality images are supported by easily digestible explanations of key historical moments. It also expands on key concepts in geology, astronomy and biology. Yet, measuring the size of some objects on the photos is difficult due to the lack of a scale bar (比例尺).1．Which book is organized in the format of question and answer?A．A Short History of Nearly Everything.B．Thing Explainer.C．Ask an Astronaut.D．Deep Time.2．What’s a shortcoming of Thing Explainer?A．It is rather too long.B．It is written in plain language.C．It lacks technical terms.D．It fails to include clear images.3．What do A Short History of Nearly Everything and Deep Time have in common?A．They combine science and history.B．They feature vivid illustrations.C．They introduce astronauts’ daily life.D．They entertain readers of all ages.“Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World” by Cal Newport is an exploration of the challenges posed by our modern, digitally-driven environment and the strategies one can employ to achieve focused success. Newport researches the concept of deep work, emphasizing its critical role in an era marked by constant distractions.The book addresses the common issue of information overload and the impact of shallow tasks on productivity. Newport argues that the ability to engage in deep, concentrated work is essential for success. The author supports his claims with research, including experiments comparing brain connectivity patterns during deep work and shallow tasks.Newport’s work agrees with earlier studies, confirming that handwritten notes outperform (胜过) typed ones in academic performance. Beyond academia, Newport presents evidence of the cognitive (认知的) benefits of deep work.The book provides practical strategies for integrating deep work into one’s professional life, advocating for routines and intentional changing of the brain to resist distractions. Newport introduces concepts like productive meditation (冥想) and the craftsman approach to tool selection, offering readers actionable advice to enhance their focus and productivity.“Deep Work” has won widespread praise for its insights into productivity in a distracted world. Many praise Newport’s thorough research, combining neuroscience with practical advice. Readers appreciate the real-world examples, from Carl Jung’s focused mindset to a social media pioneer’s distraction-free writing journey.In conclusion, “Deep Work” stands as a valuable guide for navigating the challenges of the digital age. Newport’s exploration of deep work as a catalyst (催化剂) for success, supported byresearch and concrete strategies, has left a lasting impact on how individuals approach their professional and personal lives. It serves as a timely reminder to prioritize focus and concentration in an era defined by constant connectivity and distractions.4．What kind of writing is this passage?A．A book review.B．An advertisement.C．A science report.D．A psychological research.5．How does Cal Newport support his claims about the benefits of deep work in the book?A．By sharing personal experiences.B．By providing practical strategies.C．By doing experiments on brain connectivity.D．By integrating deep work into one’s professional life6．What does Newport advocate as a strategy in “Deep Work”?A．Selective tools.B．Inflexible mind.C．Changeable routines.D．Productive meditation.7．What does the author want to tell us in the book?A．Achieving success through focus.B．The necessity of handwritten notes.C．The drawbacks of constant connectivity.D．An analysis of modern workforce challenges.As to psychological well-being, the comfort zone is frequently perceived as a haven, a familiar location where individuals feel calm and peaceful. Pushing beyond this psychological state might have benefits.The comfort zone can be understood as a behavioral metaphor. Within a comfort zone, an individual takes on a state of minimal anxiety without a perception of risk, responding predictably to deliver a consistent level of performance. These include behaviors that people do commonly, find relaxing, or that take them away from high-stress situations. Engaging in the same manner over time leads to a predictable and familiar zone of comfort. As creatures of habit, we become dependent on these routines that we know we can complete well to feel secure. However, by stepping outside of our comfort zone, we learn about our ability to handle new situations andcontrol risks, leading to greater self-confidence, and lower levels of anxiety.One study found that individuals who are more secure in stepping out of their comfort zone are more likely to be excited by and look forward to new experiences, feeling greater confidence in their ability to take them on.One behavior that demonstrates the benefits of stepping out of a comfort zone is learning to play a musical instrument. When we consider actions outside of our comfort zone, we must assess our desire to engage in that activity. By weighing the pros and cons, we evaluate how uncomfortable a situation may seem, and whether the danger of entering such an unknown situation will be worth the risk.Music offers a safe way to step out of your initial comfort zone because you can begin by practicing in an isolated setting, which offers a casual, safe way to build a new skill set. By picking up and practicing a new instrument, you have proven to yourself that you are capable of meeting an unfamiliar objective, thus decreasing anxiety.8．What does the underlined word “haven” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?A．Habitat.B．Shelter.C．Community.D．Destination. 9．Which will not be considered when we step out of our comfort zone?A．We recall the old experience.B．We think whether it is worth the risk.C．We evaluate our thirsty for the activity.D．We weigh the strengths and weaknesses.10．What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph?A．The definition of the comfort zone.B．The importance of psychological well-being.C．The process of learning a new musical instrument.D．The benefits of stepping out of one’s comfort zone.11．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．How to Identify Comfort ZoneB．Staying Inside Comfort Zone is ImportantC．Stepping Outside Comfort Zone Promotes LearningD．How to Take Yourself Away from High-stress SituationsThere’re plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables available in local markets. But while those red juicy strawberries look fresh, consumers have no way of knowing how long the fruit can be stored at home. The same goes for distribution centers and supermarkets.Now, the food technology startup OneThird, located in the Netherlands, is looking to change that with an infrared (红外线) scanner that can accurately predict how long fresh fruits and vegetables will last. The startup is named OneThird because one-third of food is wasted due to spoilage (变质) every year.The startup’s founders were inspired by a UK company that uses this type of technology in the medical field and decided to see if it was applicable for food. “I looked at the challenges in the food-supply chain and found out that 40 percent of food waste is fresh produce. One of the biggest causes of waste is that nobody knows shelf life.” founder and CEO of OneThird, Marco Snikkers said.Quality inspections at farms and distribution centers are done manually (手动地). An inspector checks the fruits and vegetables and makes notes about the size and quality. Then the food is sent to consumers without considering travel time or how long the produce will remain usable.Using the infrared scanner at the distribution center means that inspectors can use the information to approve shipments that will ensure the produce can be distributed on a timely basis. This means that a shipment of rip e tomatoes will not be sent long distances away.OneThird’s scanner combines the technology of optical scanners, image modeling, and Artificial Intelligence to provide accurate shelf-life predictions.The startup found that the technology can reduce up to 25 percent produce waste that was caused by spoilage. “Global food waste has an enormous environmental impact; reducing global food waste cuts global greenhouse gas emissions and promotes global food security,” said Jacob Smith, a climate expert from the University of Maine.12．What problem does OneThird aim to solve?A．The high cost of storing fresh fruits and vegetables.B．Inefficient quality inspections at distribution centers.C．Food waste caused by uncertainty about its shelf life.D．Consumers’ difficulty judging the freshness of produce.13．What inspired OneThird to come up with the idea of using infrared scanner?A．The use of the device in another field.B．Observation of the food-supply chain.C．Consumer demands for fresher produce.D．Experts’advice on food waste reduction. 14．What can we learn about the manual quality inspections?A．They are time-consuming and costly.B．They are not performed at a regular time.C．The inspectors tend to make wrong judgement.D．The shipping time is not taken into consideration.15．What’s Jacob’s attitude to OneThird’s effort?A．Approving.B．Doubtful.C．Tolerant.D．Dismissive.Dogs have a different way of seeing the world compared to human beings. As a result of this, they heavily rely on their body language to pass their messages to people. 16 . You will be shocked at some of these signs from your dog, because believe it or not, there are some that you might have never thought of.17 when you see your dog raising its paw. This is a behavior displayed mostly by puppies and other small dogs. Whenever puppies want to eat, they will raise their paws or put them out for their mother. So when it does the same to you, it just means they need some attention and affection.If you pay close attention to your dog, you will notice that at some point it will curl up just like a fox. In such cases, the paws will be curled up underneath their bodies and their tail will be well wrapped around them. This shows that the dog is probably feeling cold. Curling up helps them keep more body heat. 18 .19 . But unfortunately this mostly means that the dog lacks some important nutrients. It could also mean that they are trying to digest their food well considering how fibrous（含纤维的）grass is. You should also be very careful because this could also indicate that your dog has worms in their intestines（肠道）or is dehydrated and it is trying to get water from the grass. 20 . A．Dogs may sometimes be grass-eating animalsB．Eating grass is not the most uncommon thing for a dogC．Read the text to find out more on what your dog is trying to tell youD．It’s a sign that they want to play or simply need something from youE．You may feel the joy of your dog or feel it cute to see such baby-like gestureF．If this happens a lot, take your dog to the vet to ensure their safetyG．If you see your dog doing this, throw a blanket over them to help them feel warmer二、完形填空I never met a more interesting man than Mayhew, a lawyer, in Detroit.

第1页 共12页 ◎ 第2页 共12页绝密★启用前高二英语6月月考试题第I 卷（选择题)一、 阅读理解AWith over 2.4 millon visitors every year ，Cinque Terre is one of the most-visited regions in Italy. Cinque Terre is truly special. The five candy-colored fishing villages of Riomaggiore ，Manarola ，Comiglia ，Vemazza ，and Monterosso al Mare are built into cliffs over the clean and brightly-shining Ligurian Sea. Whether you're visiting the region for a few days or a few weeks ，these are the experiences you should add to your trip pleasure.★Take a scenic hike.It's easy to visit each of the attractive villages on foot. The most popular hike is the coastal path Sentiero Azzuro. It links all five villages and offers extremely beautiful scenery of the sea ，architecture and vineyards(葡萄园). It takes about six hours to go across ，with short breaks ，but most people are going to stop in the villages for food and swimming.★Eat seafood in a cone(锥形).Dessert lovers might think that Italian ice-cream is the best thing to be served in a cone but make room for seafood cones as well. Thanks to its coastal location, Cinque Terre is full of seafood restaurants.★Get on a boat.If the weather cooperates, take the time to get out on the water. The villages look very beautiful from a boat. The cheapest and easiest way is to jump on the public ferry from one of the villages to the next, but these boats are often crowded. It's far more relaxing to take a private cruise, which departs from the docks in Riomaggiore, Manarola, Vemazza, and Monterosso al Mare.★Take the train.Cinque Terre's train system is one of the most scenic in Europe. The high -speed trainruns through each of the five villages every 20 minutes or so. And the whole line is directly on the coast, offering lovely views of the Ligurian Sea and rocky cliffs. 1．What is special about the five candy -colored fishing villages?A ．Their special location.B ．Their long history.C ．Their delicious foods.D ．Their friendly villagers.2．What is the favorite food for the hikers in the five villages? A ．Italian noodles B ．Italian ice-cream. C ．Italian wines.D ．Seafood cones.3．What is the best way to enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food? A ．Taking a private ferry to the villages. B ．Walking with short breaks on the coast. C ．Taking a scenic hike along the coastal path. D ．Taking the train running through the villages.BWhen I was nine yean old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids (眼皮) and the sun hum their eyes... The more I understood fish, the more I became第3页共12页◎第4页共12页effective at finding and catching them.When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespeople.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to pr omote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters. 4．Why was the author upset in the fishing trips when he was nine?A．He could not catch a fish.B．His father was not patient with him.C．His father did not teach him fishing.D．He could not influence a fish as his father did.5．What did the author’s father really mean?A．To read about fish.B．To learn fishing by oneself.C．To understand what fish think.D．To study fishing in many ways.6．According to the author, fish are most likely to be found .A．in deep water on sunny daysB．in deep water on cloudy daysC．in shallow water under sunlightD．in shallow water under waterside trees7．After entering the business world, the author found .A．it easy to think like a customerB．his father’s fishing advice inspiringC．his first boss’s sales ideas reasonable D．it difficult to sell services to poor peopleCA large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?Avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the "out of sight, out of mind" principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers don't believe that one's willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point.Willpower may also be made less vulnerable (脆弱) to being exhausted in the first place.Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year's Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, don't try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you'll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior.第5页 共12页 ◎ 第6页 共12页Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won't require making decisions at all. 8．From the studies in the passage we learn that ________. A ．people have unlimited self-control B ．high motivation ensures one's success C ．too many temptations often lead to failure D ．willpower is hardly completelyexhausted9．The underlined phrase "tap into" in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________. A ．put up with B ．make up for C ．make use ofD ．keep away from10．The author compares self —control to muscles ________. A ．to explain the benefits of practicing self-control B ．to show the significance of regular exercise C ．to argue that self-control can he easily used up D ．to prove the long-term effect of willpower11．To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer? A ．"I will give up dessert and do exercise." B ．"I will set three goals this new semester." C ．"I will read an English novel every month." D ．"I will keep myself from any temptation."DWhy is it that you can remember the name of your childhood best friend that you haven't seen in years yet easily forget the name of a person you just met a moment ago ？In other words, why are some memories stable over decades, while others disappear within minutes ？Caltech researchers carried out their work about memories in the laboratory. The research team developed a test to examine mice's neural （神经的）activity as they learn about and remember a new place. In the test, a mouse was placed in a straight enclosure( 围 场 ), about 5 feet long with white walls. Unique symbols marked different locations along the walls.Sugar water （a treat for mice ）was placed at either end of the track.When a mouse was placed in the track, it was unsure of what to do at first and wandered left and right until it came across the sugar water. In these cases, single neurons were activated when the mouse took notice of a symbol on the wall. Over numerous experiences with the track, the mouse became familiar with it and remembered the locations of the sugar water. As the mouse became more familiar, more and more neurons were activated when seeing each symbol on the wall. Essentially, the mouse was recognizing where it was with respect to each unique symbol.To study how memories disappear over time, the researchers then kept back the mice from the track for up to 20 days. Upon returning to the track after this break, mice that had formed strong memories encoded （编码）by higher numbers of neurons remembered the task quickly. Even though some neurons showed different activity, the mouse's memory of the track was clearly identifiable when researchers analyzed the activity of large groups of neurons.This work shows that memories might disappear more rapidly as we age because a memory is encoded by fewer neurons, and if any of these neurons fail, the memory will be lost. The study suggests that one day, designing treatments that could encourage a higher number of neurons to encode a memory could help prevent memory loss. 12．What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A ．To introduce the topic of the text. B ．To show the examples of bad memory. C ．To compare different people's memories. D ．To prove the importance of childhood memories. 13．During the research, the mouse _______ A ．lost interest in the symbols soon B ．had to climb over the long white wall第7页共12页◎第8页共12页C．would get sugar water as their rewardsD．wandered left and right nervously all the time14．What is special about the mice that remembered the task quickly after the break? A．They had their neurons show different activity.B．They love sugar water better than other mice.C．They stayed in the track for over 20 days.D．They possessed more activated neurons.15．What does the last paragraph imply?A．Mice's memory seems better than humansB．The aging process of humans is unavoidable.C．Memory loss is expected to be cured in the future.D．The study has found the way to prevent neurons from failing.二、七选五You've decided your child is spoiled（宠坏的），and you want to do something about it. Is it too late? Not necessarily。

AFeeling exhausted and hopeless， I began walking to my car。

Every step seemed tiring， and every step was another to survive. As I looked up into the sky I thought about how my grandmother had left me, and my anger began to return. I was annoyed by the loss， and my belief in God was beginning t o fade. I couldn’t understand why these things happened. So as I stood in a public parking lot a million questions formed in my mind. Why did this happen to me？ Aren't we supposed to get signs from the people that pass on? Why did I not feel her presence anymore? Is there a heaven?Suddenly， a woman driving right by my side rolled down her window and distracted my unanswered thoughts。
