广东省六校联盟2023-2024学年高二上学期12月联考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择China is a colorful country with amazing places and cultures. In this blog, we will introduce five most attractive places that you can’t miss if you are planning to go for a travel in China!BeijingBeijing, the capital of China for over 850 years, is the first choice for many travellers. A perfect combination of classic elegance and modernity, it is the best Chinese destination to give you a better understanding of the country. You can wander around the Forbidden City to feel the dignity of the city; or you can walk along the criss-crossing hutongs and enjoy yourself in everyday local life.Xi’anIf you want to feel the history of China over the past 1,000 years, you can go to Beijing; however, if you want to experience the 5,000 years’ history of this ancient, oriental land, Xi’an is the best travel destination in China. As one of the four major capitals of ancient civilisation (together with Athens, Cairo, and Rome), Xi’an is the home of Chinese civilisation. The Silk Road starts from here, stretching through West China to the Mediterranean.GuilinGuilin, a peaceful city lying in the hilly south-western area of the country, is among the top Chinese destinations for its extraordinary natural scenery. The unique karst landscape with its four features, namely green hills, clear water, fantastic caves, and oddly-shaped rocks, makes it a famous tourist attraction.ChengduVisiting the lovely giant pandas must be on everyone’s to-do list when planning a tour of the best Chinese destinations. Many cities have zoos with space for pandas, but the best place to get close to them is Chengdu for sure! Visiting Chengdu is also a treat for food lovers. Jin li Street is a great place to have a taste of well-known Sichuan food. Besides, you can also enjoy the comfortable atmosphere.1.What can you do in Beijing?A.Enjoy the oddly-shaped rocks.B.Have a taste of Sichuan food.C.Walk around the Forbidden City.D.Learn the history of the Silk Road.2.If you are interested in natural landscapes, which destination is suitable for you?A.Beijing.B.Xi’an.C.Guilin.D.Chengdu. 3.What will be written in the following paragraph?A.Another attractive place in China.B.The introduction to karst landscape.C.Tips for travelling around the world.D.The contact information of a museum.It is a bright cold day in April and Paul Blachut is busy as usual. From behind the bar of a restaurant, he has a good view of the river. He can see that, along the shore, many visitors are cooling their feet in the river.Among those are a mother and her two teenage daughters. They’re standing on the edge of the riverbank, playing with an inflatable (充气的)tube when, suddenly, the girls lose their footing and are caught in the river’s current. It all happens so fast. The girls desperately grab on to the tube, which their mother is sitting in, dragging her into the river, too. Now all three are being carried away by the fast current.A bystander races to the restaurant and shouted for help. Despite having no lifesaving training, Blachut rushes to the riverbank, quickly pulling off his T-shirt. Then he jumps into the river. He doesn’t care about the cold; all he can think about is saving the women.As Blachut gets closer to them, he can tell that the mother seems to be in the most trouble; her head is now submerged. He recalls how a lifeguard saves people in a movie so he tries this, but in vain. Without hesitation, Blachut dives under the drowning woman, pushing her upward and using that momentum (冲力) to push her toward the shore. Then he dives into the current again, swims quickly downstream and manages to get hold of one of the teenagers, and get her out in the same way he did her mother. He is out of strength and luckily, the girl’s sister is helped out by someone else.Several onlookers express their admiration for Blachut following the incident, but he is modest about his role. “The whole rescue only took two or three minutes” he says today, adding that he is happy to have received high praise from his boss for his courage. Indeed, it was a job very well done.4.What might Blachut be?A.A visitor.B.A waiter.C.The boss.D.A lifeguard. 5.What happens to the mother of two teenagers?A.She loses her footing while playing.B.She is dragged into the river by accident.C.She jumps into the river to save her daughters.D.She loses control of the tube and flows with it.6.What is the key factor in this successful rescue?A.Blachut’s rich lifesaving experience.B.The method Blachut recalls in a movie.C.The slow speed of the river current.D.Blachut’s ability to make quickdecisions.7.In which section of a newspaper may the text appear?A.Health.B.Travel.C.Inspiration.D.Entertainment.“With the passing of Chinese scientist Yuan Longping, China and the world have lost one greatest agricultural scientists,” Kenneth Quinn, president of the World Food Prize Foundation, said. Quinn, also vice chairman of the Yuan Longping International Rice Development Forum, shared his memory of the “father of hybrid rice” in an interview with Xinhua on Sunday.Quinn first met Yuan in October 2004, when Y uan traveled to Des Moines in the U.S. state of Iowa to receive the World Food Prize. As they walked out of the airport , Quinn received a call and stepped aside to speak. When he turned back a minute or two later, he lost Yuan. “I had never before ‘lost’ a laureate(贵人),” he said. After a desperate search, he found Professor Yuan surrounded by a group of smiling graduate students from Iowa State University who so admired him that they wanted to take him off for a meal and conversation.Quinn admired Yuan as a teacher. “He always had time to answer questions and speak with young scientists and students. The American high school students we sent to his research center each year always returned filled with knowledge and a deep desire to learn more.”In Quinn’s eyes, Yuan was incredibly humble, never seeking fame, and focused only on hard work and results that could help lift people out of poverty. With a ‘down to earth’ attitude, Yuan greatly reduced hunger and provided farmers with surplus income through his discovery of hybrid rice.Learning of Yuan’s passing away on Saturday, Quinn issued a statement to send his deepest sympathy to Yuan’s family and colleagues in China, as well as his admirers across theworld. “Professor Y uan Longping, who was truly beloved in his country and by all of us who knew him, will be greatly missed. His legacy will provide inspiration to generations far into the future, in China and across the world,” Quinn said in the statement.8.How did Kenneth Quinn feel when he found Yuan in a group of students?A.Confused.B.Amazed.C.Annoyed.D.Frightened. 9.How did Yuan Longping deal with young people ?A.He cared about the development of the youth.B.He sent young students abroad for further study.C.He was too busy to answer the students’ question.D.He was generous to help young people out of trouble.10.What does the words “down to earth” mean in paragraph 4?A.Realistic .B.Stubborn C.Flexible D.Critical 11.What is the purpose of the text?A.To introduce the “father of hybrid rice”.B.To share the stories of Y uan Longping.C.To remember Professor Yuan LongpingD.To inspire the young to become a pioneer.Jason M. Allen was almost too nervous to enter his first art competition. Now, his award-winning image is stirring debates about whether art can be generated by a computer, and what, exactly, it means to be an artist.In August 2022, Allen, a 39-year-old game designer who lives in Pueblo West, Colorado, won first place in the “digital arts/digitally-operated photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. His winning image, titled Théatre D’opéra Spatial, was made with Midjourney—an artificial intelligence system that can produce detailed images when fed written prompts (提示).Allen’s winning image looks like a bright cross between a classic and modern painting. It’s one of three such images he entered in the competition. Allen posted excitedly about his win on Midjourney’s Discord server on August 25, along with pictures of his three entries; it spread quickly on Twitter days later, with many artists feeling angry about Allen’s win because of his use of AI to create the image. “He just ‘pressed a few buttons to make a digital art piece’,” one Twitter user wrote. “We’re watching the death of art unfold before our eyes.”However, to get the final three images he entered in the competition, Allen said, he took over 80 hours. First, he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in nice dresses and space helmets. Over time, with slight adjustments to his written prompts, he created 900 repeating processes of what led to his final three images. He gave the final touch to those three images in Photoshop. Then he ran the images through another software program called Gigapixel AI that can improve resolution (分辨率) and had the images printed at a local print shop.Allen is glad that the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is getting so much attention. “Rather than hating the technology or the people behind it, we need to recognize it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all move forward,” Allen said.12.What do we know about Theatre D’opera Spatial?A.Its beauty is widely accepted.B.Its creation is an easy process.C.It shows the death of traditional art.D.It has caused a lot of arguments. 13.What did Allen do to create his entries?A.He searched for smart written prompts.B.He edited his final images in Photoshop.C.He fed Midjourney with famous paintings.D.He developed the software named Gigapixel.14.What is Allen’s attitude to the debate over Al-created art?A.Worried.B.Uncaring.C.Positive.D.Annoyed. 15.What might be the best title for the text?A.AI Beats Out Human Artists in the Art FieldB.AI Won an Art Contest and Artists Are AngryC.An Artist Wins State Fair Art Contest and LaughsD.The Artist From Pueblo West Is Defending His Work.Over the past years, countless studies conducted have shown the positive effects that laughing has on one’s physical and mental health. Are you ready to laugh more? Below you’ll find five ways to bring more laughter into your life.Smile more. Smiling is not laughing. 16 When you smile, happy changes begin to take place naturally, both internally and externally. In addition, you can think of smiling as a warm-up for laughing.Learn to laugh at yourself. Most of us take ourselves too seriously. 17Learning to laugh at yourself takes some of the pressure off. You can look for the funny side of things. When you’re upset about something, ask yourself “How is this situation funny?” Humor can even turn a negative into a positive.Share stories from the past. Do you remember one time in high school that you and your best friend wore false hair and matching clothes around your neighborhood? Or, how about when your best friend sat on a painted bench by accident? 18Take up something new. When you try something new — whether it’s to draw or learn to roller skate — your original attempts will likely be clumsy (笨拙的) and even ridiculous (荒谬的). 19 So taking up something new is likely to result in laughs.20 We are heavily influenced by the people we are with, so by hanging out with funny people, we can add more laughter into our days. That positive and silly energy will immediately rub off on (感染) us and it can cause us to want to feel happier and sillier throughout our days.A.That is funny.B.It has a lot of benefits.C.Follow funny people on Twitter.D.Surround yourself with funny people.E.These reminders can make us feel silly and childlike.F.For better results, think of a funny moment from the past.G.So our ability to find the humor in difficult situations can be limited.二、完形填空I can remember the first time it happened. Class was getting out of hand. Our teacher,gave up and informed we could take a rest. Instantly, the classroom erupted with studentsa nice girl in class. She’s a 27 .” And there it was: my first “nice”.Whether or not I knew it, a 28 had been set for my future behavior, though my teacher probably didn’t mean it.As years passed, I became 29 in the art of nice.

AHow cool can libraries be in an era of iPods and Kindles? More than you think. Only if you know where to go.Central Library: Seattle, Washington, United StatesThe Central Library in Seattle is modern and fashionable and has tourists from around the world paying visits and taking tours. It was designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and American designer Joshua Ramus. Tours began in 2006, two years after its opening. The library holds various art exhibitions, book signings and other events, while visitors can stop by the Chocolate cart for a coffee and scan through the gift shop anytime.Trinity College Library: Dublin, IrelandThe Trinity College Library in Dublin is in Ireland, founded at the end of the 16th century by Queen Elizabeth I. It is the largest single library in the world, also known as the Long Room, which contains more than 200,000 of the library's oldest books. The Long Room houses one of the oldest harps(竖琴)in Ireland.Dating to the 15th century, the old harp is the model for the symbol foreland.Geisel Library, University of California: San Diego, United StatesAt first glance, it looks like a spaceship. Architect William Pereira, who helped design actual space launch facilities at Cape Canaveral in Houston, Texas, designed the library in 1970. It has been featured in sci-fi films, short stories and novels. The library hosts “Dinner in the Library,” which invites readers for cocktails, and also special speeches from distinguished authors.TU Delft Library: The NetherlandsThe library at the Delft University of Technology was constructed in 1997 and has more than 862,000 books, 16,000 magazine subscriptions and its own museum. The building itself exists beneath the ground, so you can't really see the actual Library. What makes it interesting is the roof, which is a grassy hill. The roof covers 5,500 square meters. And it has become one of the most striking and greenest structures in the area.1. Which of the four libraries has the longest history?A. Central LibraryB. Trinity College LibraryC. Geisel LibraryD. TU Delft Library2. What makes Geisel Library different from the others is that _____.A. a spaceship designer founded the libraryB. it has a roof of grassy hillC. famous writers often deliver speeches thereD. it is the largest single library in the world3. In Central Library, you can _____.A. drink cocktailsB. buy souvenirsC. create paintingsD. book eventsBThe cracked step four years ago was the start of it. That day, I awoke tired—the children were tiny and needing so much—and I had a golden afternoon of rest ahead, my mother stepping in to allow me to catch up on my sleep. I dropped them off and drove home—the sun shining and my bed signaling. As I was about to enter the house, I caught sight of a deep crack beneath my feet.Without thinking, I turned around, walked back to the car and drove to a DIY store. Four hours later, I had all the tools, mixed my own cement, filled in the crack and repaired the foundation. Perfect. As I stood up to take a photo of my handiwork, I realized that I was trembling. I’d forgotten my shot at a nice long nap, and my children were already on their way home. That sleep... that promise to self was broken, because I had focused, instead, on the crack in the step.Suddenly, everything started to hurt. My head, my throat, my back. I couldn’t stop shaking. Whatearned then is that when we break the promises we make to our bodies they will not be silenced. This is when we overwork and overthink to the point of breaking down. Ironically (讽刺地), for many of us, it is only when we have no choice— when we fall ill—that we learn to listen. For me, when that crack ended in a hospital stay which sent me to bed for two unmoving weeks when my body worked to clear two different infections, the lesson is ever present. I did it to myself—a whole twisted spin on DIY.Sadly it took another two ridiculous DIY projects to finally get through. The cracks will never be fully filled. Focus, then, on your own inner core, the feeding of light, fire and strength.4.What made the author so sleepy in the first place?A. Taking care of the kids.B. Asking her mother for help.C. Driving to her mother’s houseD. Dealing with DIY projects.5.How did the author feel as soon as she finished her repair work?A. RegretfulB. UpsetC. ProudD. Thankful6.What can be implied from Paragraph 3?A. Our health is ignored deliberately.B. Our body will respond to what we do.C. The author took her mother’s advice.D. The author was infected before the DIY.7.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To describe an unfortunate event.B. To show the danger of DIY.C. To stress the importance of sleep.D. To encourage focusing on oneself.CI used to think the whole purpose of life was pursuing happiness. Everyone said the path to happiness was success, so I searched for that ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, and that beautiful apartment. But instead of ever feeling fulfilled, I felt anxious and lost. Eventually. I decided to go to graduate school for positive psychology to learn what truly makes people happy.And what's the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists describe happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good in the moment. Meaning, though, is deeper. The famous psychologist Martin Seligman says meaning comes from belonging to and serving something beyond yourself and from developing the best within you. Our culture is obsessed with happiness, but Icame to see that seeking meaning is the more fulfilling path.There are four pillars of a meaningful life.The first pillar is belonging. Belonging comes from being in relationships where you're valued for who you are and where you value others as well. For many people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning.For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding that job that makes you happy. A doctor told me her purpose is healing sick people. Many parents tell me, “My purpose is raising my children.” The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others. Without something worthwhile to do, people flounder, thus losing the aim of life.The third pillar of meaning is also about stepping beyond yourself, but in a completely different way: transcendence (超然). Transcendent experiences can change you. Transcendent states are those rare moments when you're lifted above the hustle and bustle of daily life, your sense of self fades away, and you feel connected to a high er reality. For me, I’m a writer, and it happens through writing. Sometimes I get so in the zone that I lose all sense of time and place.The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself. Creating a narrative from the events of your life brings clarity. It helps you understand how you became you. But we don’t always realize that we're the authors of our stories and can change the way we’re telling them. Your life isn't just a list of events. You can edit, interpret and retell your story, even as you're constrained by the facts.That’s the power of meaning. Happiness comes and goes. But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to.8. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?A. Life might be fulfilled by landing ideal jobs.B. Life dilemma is challenging for us to get out of.C. Meaning is highly valued in our culture.D. Happiness is what most people try to achieve.9. Which word is the closest to the underlined word?A. ConfusedB. DistractedC. DisappointedD. Saddened10. Which pillar can describe an artist obsessed with her work despite repeated failures?A. BelongingB. PurposeC. TranscendenceD. Storytelling11. The passage aims to tell us that _______________.A. meaning is superior to happinessB. meaning is the way to successC. chasing meaning can make people happyD. meaning has deeper psychological significanceDIt often happens that a number of applicants with almost identical qualifications and experience all apply for the same position. In their educational background, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. How then does the employer make a choice? Usually on the basis of an interview.There are many arguments about the interview as a selection procedure. One argument is that it gives rise to a wholly subjective decision. As often as not, employers do not choose the best candidate, but the one who makes a good first impression on them. Some employers, of course, reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a sound assessment of each candidate’s likely perfor mance. Unfortunately, both for the employers and applicants, there are many people of great ability who simply do not interview well. There are also, of course, people who interview extremely well, but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employees.Those in favour of the interview insist that the well-structured procedure is valid in assessing a candidate’s ability, an essential guarantee for the future job. They also argue that an employer is concerned not only with a candidate’s ability, but with th e suitability of his or her personality for the particular work situation. Many employers, for example, will overlook occasional inefficiencies from their secretary so long as she has a pleasant personality. Perhaps the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assessable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the more intangible things, such as personality and social ability.Today, interview is still a common section of the entire selection procedure, though different employers have different standards for competence. Generally speaking, candidates who interview well tend to be quietly confident, but never boastful; direct and straight-forward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never over-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and optimistic. Candidates who interview badly tend to be at either end of the spectrum of human behaviour. They are either very shy or over-confident. They show either a lack of enthusiasm or an excess of it. They either talk too little or never stop talking. They are either over-polite or rudely abrupt.12. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Employers are experienced in assessing the interviewees’ performance.B. Interview is not always recognized as a sensible way to choose employees.C. The interview helps the employers to pick the desired employees.D. The remarkable candidates often distinguish themselves in an interview.13. Which may not be considered in an interview?A. PersonalityB. Communication skillsC. BackgroundD. Capability14. What is the author’s attitude towards the interview as a selection procedure?A. SupportiveB. NegativeC. ObjectiveD. Unconcerned15. The last paragraph indicates _________________.A. a link between success in interview and characterB. connections between work abilities and characterC. differences in interview experienceD. differences in personal behaviour第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I’d love to go full minimalism (极简主义), but my wife and two teenage kids do not share my dream of a house with almost nothing in it. I have tried. When the kids were little, I taught them my two favorite games –“Do We Need It?” and “Put It in Its Place”– and made them play every few months. Their enthusiasm never matched mine.If I’m going to be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My “discarded” pileis never quite the trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. I consider this unhealthy. I want to be better at moving on.So, this time I found help –the classics for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Marie Kondo. Kondo’s commitment to her craft is astonishing. Her philosophy is only to keep things you love. Can I go full Kondo? I will try. One central idea is to clean by category. You start by collecting all clothes and gathering them together for consideration. It makes you rethink how you organize. Next, hold each item and ask if it brings you joy. This way you’re choosing what to keep. And that’s how I find myse lf with all my clothes on my bedroom floor. My wife walks by and gives me a look that says I’m nuts. She’s probably not wrong.Somewhere near the bottom of this chaos is my special jacket. I move through the pile: pants, shirts, suits and shoes. Then my la st category: jackets. I haven’t worn the thing in about 30 years. Somehow, it has survived. Now that I’m striving to follow Kondo – surely, its time has come?I hold it in my hand. There is a tear just below the collar that widens as I hold it. It’s litera lly falling apart. Will I ever wear it again? Not a chance. Does it feel good to wear? Does it bring me joy? Actually, yes. At this moment, my daughter walks in. She asks about the jacket. I tell her the story. She thinks I should keep it. It’s cool and unique and full of memories. She is arguing that nostalgia (怀念) is the very reason.I’m not entirely convinced by my daughter’s arguments. I believe in looking ahead, not backward. Nevertheless, sometimes it’s hard to let go. So I gently place the jacket on the “keep” pile.24. What does the underlined word “discarded” probably mean in Paragraph 2?A. adjustedB. reservedC. abandonedD. tidied25. What drives the author to read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up?A. To learn how to categorize.B. To improve his tidying skills.C. To persuade his family members.D. To develop passion for minimalism.26. What is the attitude of the author’s family members toward minimalism?A. They don’t understand itB. They completely support it.C. They are strongly opposed to it.D. They are less passionate about it.27. What’s the best title for the text?A. Knowing when to let goB. Classifying what you loveC. Throwing worn-out clothesD. Keeping valuable possessionsCThe world’s biggest elect ric vehicle — a 45-ton mining dump trucknamed theeDumper —may have to give up its throne. The newcomer, powered with bothelectricity and a reserve of hydrogen fuel, is going tosteal that title as the largestelectric mining truck.London-based Anglo American is developing the beast of a machine— it weighs290 tons — as part of its sustainable mining vision. Theconceptual work is done,but U.K-based Williams Advanced Engineeringwill bring the truck to life. The ideais to replace the vehicle’s diesel engi ne (柴油机) with a high- power modular lithium-ion battery (锂电池). “We are delighted to be involved in this innovative andexciting project which shows the potential of battery technology that can adapt to increased demands, from automotive and motorsport to ‘heavy duty’ industrial applications,” Craig Wilson, managingdirector of Williams Advanced Engineering, said.While the eDumper — a mining truck used to move stones from the sides of mountains inSwitzerland —relies entirely on pure electricity and pure physics for power, the Anglo American truck will use both a lithium-ion battery and a hydrogen fuel cell (电池) module. Altogether, the new truck will have over 1,000 Kilowatt hours of energy storage.Hydrogen fuel is a clear fuel that produces only water as a by-product when consumed in a fuelcell. It’s typically produced from natural gas, nuclear power, or renewable wind and solar power. Adding hydrogen fuel cells to the vehicle’s battery will allow the truck to run for longer periods of time without rechargin g.There’s also a third type of power that comes into play with the Anglo American truck: kinetic (动力的) energy created through the process of regenerative braking (再生制动系统). When an electric vehicle — be it the Anglo American truck, or the eDumper —rolls down a hill, that movement creates electrical energy for the battery as you brake. The electric motors power the car through the battery’s stored energy, but can also become mini generators that return some energy back to the battery.After Anglo American finishes test trials with the truck, the firm will conduct studies to understand how the truck’s power units can be used to provide energy storage in other applications.28. What can be known about “the eDumper”?A. It weighs more than 290 tons.B. It is powered by hydrogen fuel.C. It will no longer be the largest electric truck.D. It will discourage buyers for being expensive.29. What can be inferred from Craig Wilson’s words?A. Battery technology is the key to updating vehicles.B. Battery technology is the basis of manufacturing trucks.C. The development of the lithium-ion battery is limited.D. The future of the lithium-ion battery is promising.30. What is the benefit of adopting hydrogen fuel cells?A. It can save a lot of money.B. Vehicles become more eco-friendly.C. It has no environmental impact at all.D. Vehicles no longer need to be recharged.31. According to paragraph 5, which of the following can be a feature of regenerative braking?A. Autonomous braking.B. Energy transformation.C. Simple operation.D. zero-carbon emission.DDreams, according to Carl Jung, reveal a certain amount of reality hidden during waking consciousness. In Jungian philosophy, the conflict and chaos experienced in dreams finally bring order to our lives. While Jung’s mystical theories are debatable, he was not mistaken about the importance of dreaming. A growing number of reports show that a continuous lack of dreaming is damaging our waking hours in many ways.This trend is causing damage to our immune and metabolic (新陈代谢的) systems, let alone theelectronic products that keep us up late at night are ruining our sleep patterns, which has long-term consequences on our memory system. One study showed that not allowing mice to have adequate amounts of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, the stage in which we dream, the mice couldn’t strengthen memories.You might think this is just a sleep problem, but dreaming is inseparable from our nighttime rest. We sleep in cycles (周期), each lasting about 90 minutes; in a sleep cycle, we go through non-REM sleep before hitting REM. As the night progresses, REM sleep periods increase in length while deep sleep (one of the stages of non-REM sleep) decreases. The longer we sleep, the more time we spend in REM, which is why we are often dreaming when waking up in the morning. If we sleep less than seven hours, however, it becomes harder to achieve this level of REM.The combination of sleeping and dreaming acts as an emotional stabilizer. We recover from emotional hurt faster when w e sleep and dream properly. However, we’re not getting enough sleep tocycle through the stages to take advantage of this natural circadian anti-depressant (抗抑郁剂)— dreams. Instead, we get depressed and turn to alcohol or medicines to get to sleep, which only makesthings worse because even one drink leads to late REM while anti-depressants promote deep sleep atthe expense of REM.We’re paying for this lack of dreaming in many ways. For example, a 2021 study stated that compared with quiet rest and non-REM sleep, REM promoted the formation of associative networksand the integration (整合) of unassociated information. V olunteers that experienced more REM sleepwere better equipped for solving problems requiring creative solutions.Rowan Hooper, the managing editor at New Scientist, writes that dreams that include an “emotional core” appear to be a main function of REM sleep and that we should look at sleep patterns as seriously as we do diet and exercise habits.32. What’s Car Jung’s view about dreams?A. They cause chaos.B. They damage immunity.C. They reveal secrets.D. They mirror reality.33. Why is the sleep process explained in paragraph 3?A. To show a dream mainly occurs during REM sleep.B. To prove the minimum sleep time should be seven hours.C. To prove dream problems and sleep problems are attached.D. To show people often dream when waking up in the morning.34. What conclusion can be inferred from paragraph 5?A. Dreaming promotes creativity.B. Dreaming helps fight depression.C. The brain still receives new information during REM sleep.D. The brain is paying the price for having more non-REM sleep.35. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. The importance of sleep lies in dreams.B. The absence of dreams is terrible for us.C. Dreaming patterns are more important than we realize.D. Dreaming has mystical power of strengthening memories.第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分, 满分12.5 分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWith all the attention Thanksgiving and Christmas get from travell ers, it’s easy to overlook Halloween as a destination holiday. While a few cities provide a ghostly atmosphere all year round, annual festivals, theme park pop-up events and other haunted happenings elsewhere have helped make the holiday a travel mini-season all its own.New OrleansHome to year-round cemetery walks, New Orleans is among the cities that naturally harmonize with Halloween. Worth noting every October is the family-friendly Halloween parade,happening this year on Oct. 21, with floats devoted to themes like werewolves and vampires. Float riders throw locally made candies to the crowd. New Orleans hosts plenty of after-event-parties, but the procession itself draws all ages in costume.Whitby, EnglandThis picturesque town on England’s Yorkshire coast is considered to be the home of Dracula, though in a different way. Bram Stoker spent just a month in Whitby, but those four weeks inJuly and August 1890 were important in the creation of his most famous book, “Dracula”, which was published in 1897. Whitby celebrated the 125th anniversary of Stoker’s visit in 2015, but this year you can see the skeletal remains of Whitby Abbey illuminated throughout the final week of October.Salem, MassachusettsHome to the infamous witch trials of the early 1690s, it should come as no surprise that this town is a hotbed for Halloween activity. One way Salem builds on its spectral past is with the nearly month-long festival of the Dead. Events starting from mid-October this year include psychic readings, mourning-themed tea and on Halloween night, a witches gathering.Orlando, FloridaThe home of Disney World and Universal Studios goes all-out with huge Halloween events. Universal this year will hold its 27th Halloween Horror Night on Oct. 30, a seasonal pop-up featuring haunted houses and “scareactors” employed to frighten visitors. P lus, there are many other activities like trick-or-treating, Disney character encounters, a Halloween ball and fireworks.21. Which of the following is most recommended for a familygoing together?A. New Orleans.B. Whitby, England.C. Salem, Massachusetts.D. Orlando, Florida.22. Where do Halloween activities last the longest this year?A. New Orleans.B. Whitby, England.C. Salem, Massachusetts.D. Orlando, Florida.23. What can you do in Orlando, Florida ?A. Have mourning-themed tea.B. Enjoy dancing.C. Watch Disney movies.D. See skeletal remains.BA cloudless Southern California sky looms over the Pro Park Course for the Pro Skate Park Series. Here to compete are some of the top female skaters in the world. The women skaters range in age from early adolescence to early 30s, but in a sport that embraces youth, there is one who stands out. At 8 years old, Sky Brown, would be the youngest skater, male or female, ever to compete at this series.She is known to some — a minor star of the viral age. When her first video was posted to YouTube, Sky initially gained a little internet fame as a premature and level-headed 4-year-old —highly intelligent, well-spoken beyond her years, hugely talented, and yet grounded. Four years later, it was announced that she would be competing at Huntington Beach. Still, the question remains: Is she truly ready, or will this be another case wherereality comes crashing down hard on all the hype?And then, it turns out to be anything but. Sky goes out and presents one surprise after another. Commentators Neal Hendrix and Chris Pastras are left in awe, “Half of the pros can't do.” The only thing that makes the prodigy look like a kid is her size. In e very other regard, she holds her own with skaters 10 and 20 years her senior. Before the competition at Huntington, Sky was a curiosity. After, she is a competitor.Sky's first memory of a skateboard is seeing her father, Stuart, doing a few tricks in fron t of the family home. “It always looked really fun,” says Sky. “I just kept begging to try it.” Sky progressed quickly, although she never had a formal coach. Somehow she just had the knack. Every movement, every shift in weight, every push and pull of body on board, she absorbed. Then, she did it herself.“You get so close to making it,” she says of her process, “and think you're about to land it, and then it takes you 100 more times. I'm always saying to my parents, 'Just one last try.'”If anyone was pushing, striving to get better, it was Sky herself, learning new tricks the same way everyone else does — by trying, failing, falling, and getting back up again.24. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. T o show Sky’s early experience.B. To s how Sky’s talents from varied aspects.C. To show the public’s doubt about Sky’s competence.D. To show the public’s recognition of Sky’s performances.25. What do we know about Sky?A. She equals the senior skaters in the competition.B. She looks like a professional skater in terms of her figure.C. She participates in a competition inappropriate for theyoung.D. She has already become a household name before the competition.26. What is the main reason for Sky’s ac hievements?A. Her parents push her too hard.B. She practices hard and never quits.C. Her coach is very strict with her.D. Her father exerts a strong influence on her.27. What is the best title for the text?A. A Rocky Road Leads to Internet FameB. A Strong Competitor Stands out from CrowdC. An 8-year-old Skater Amazes the WorldD. A Wonder Shows at the Pro Skate Park SeriesCIn 1992, Teen Talk Barbie was released with the controversial voice fragment, “Math class is hard.”While the toy's release met with strong public reaction, this underlying assumption persists, spreading the myth that women do not thrive in science, technology, engineering and mathematic (STEM) fields due to biological inadequacies in math aptitude. However, in 2019 Jessica Cantlon at Carnegie Mellon University led a research team that comprehensively examined the brain development of young boys and girls and found no gender difference in brain function or math ability.Cantlon and her team conducted the first neuroimaging study to evaluate biological gender differences in math aptitude of young children. Her team used functional MRI(核磁共振)to measure the brain activity in 104 young children (3-to-10-year-old; 55 girls) while watching an educational video covering early math topics, like counting and addition. The researcherscompared scans from the boys and girls to evaluate brain similarity. In addition, the team examined brain maturity by comparing the children's scans to those taken from a group of adults (63 adults; 25 women) who watched the same math videos.After numerous statistical comparisons, Cantlon and her team found no difference in the brain development of girls and boys. In addition, the researchers found no difference in how boys and girls processed math skills and were equally engaged while watching the educational videos. Finally, boys' and girls' brain maturity were statistically equivalent when compared to either men or women in the adult group.Cantlon said she thinks society and culture are likely steering girls and young women away from math and STEM fields, as previous studies show that families spend more time with young boys in play that involves spatial cognition(空间认知). “Typical socialization can make worse small differences between boys and girls that can snowball into how we treat them in science and math,” Cantlon said. “We need to be aware of these origins to ensure we aren't the ones causing the gender inequities.”However, this project is focused on early childhood development using a limited set of math tasks. Cantlon wants to continue this work using a broader scope of math skills, such as spatial processing and memory, and follow the children over many years.28. What can we infer about the toy’s release?A. It has raised a storm of applause.B. Girls perform no worse than boys in math.C. Math is a subject difficult to every one of us.D. Women are born with insufficient math abilities.29. What can we learn from the study conducted by Cantlon?A. Boys process math skills more quickly than girls.B. Boys and girls have similar brain in math abilities.C. Boys and girls have similar interest in math.D. Adults have better brain than children in math.30. What will Cantlon most likely agree with?A. Parents should lengthen the time spent with girls.B. Society is causing a greater gender difference in math abilities.C. Culture plays a leading role in children’s brain development.D. We should cultivate boys’ and girls’ math abilities equally.31. How will Cantlon further her research?A. By using a wider range of math skills.B. By involving a broader scope of subjects.C. By increasing the complexity of math tasks.D. By following the children until their adulthood.DJonathan Agnew recently described “unofficial interviews” as th ose where you agree that it’s “between you and I”. And a Times journalist wrote about someone who had “made Jenny and I feel so welcome”. They are both intelligent people with the ability to express ideas fluently and logically. And yet they wrote “I” where they meant “me”.It’s happening more and more. We are scared of the mistake like “T erry and me went to the pub”. We’ve all been taught that it should be “Terry and I went to the pub”. Plu s we’ve heard the Queen say “my husband and I” a lot. So we begin to use “and I” even when it should be “and me”.But my point here is not to support the correct usage. It’sthe opposite: I want to reject the idea that there’s such a thing as “correct” English at all. Language isn’t like maths, where you can show that two plus two is four. Language has no fundamental rights and wrongs, only conventions. You cannot definitively prove that any are “right” and others “wrong”.Sometimes correct language sounds absurd. Look at Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills) who came up with a new rule. Primary school children now have to be taught that “inverted commas” is right, while “speech marks” is wrong. You and I know that those terms are interchangeable. And the child who looks at those marks on the page can see that both make perfect sense. T hat’s because a primary school child is more intelligent than the Ofsted turkey who came up with this rule.As the teacher who told me about the ludicrous rule pointed out, there is no doubt that in a few y ears’ time, the “incorrect” term will become the “correct” one. But the truly horrible thing about an education system like this is that it destroys children’s love of language. It tells them they have to worry about rules, instead of encouraging them to read and write for its own sake. Let them read for fun and they’ll absorb the rules —or conventions —anyway. Have them shaking in fear about English tests, and you’ll increase their insecu rity about getting language “right”.Then one day that insecurity w ill have them saying “and I” even though they mean “and me”.32. Why do people use “and I” when it should be “and me” according to the text?A. The Ofsted sets a rule.B. “and I” is the correct English.C. The Queen makes a similar mistake.D. P eople feel insecure about using “and me”.33. What can we learn from paragraphs 3 and 4?A. Rules benefit children’s language learning.B. Language learning is more complicated than maths.C. Language is based on commonly accepted rules.D. A primary school child is smarter than the Ofsted.34. What does the underlined word “ludicrous” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Influential.B. Particular.C. Conventional.D. Ridiculous.35. Which of the following bes t describes the author’s attit ude towards the correct English?A. Critical.B. Objective.C. Favourable.D.
