2024年全国高考仿真模拟卷一英语一、阅读理解第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A.B.C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)(共15题;共30分)ADuring ancient times,children didn’t have smartphones,iPad or computers to entertain themselves. Instead,they came up with interesting games to play.★Stone ballsDuring the Qing Dynasty,kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China,and it was often played in the winter to protect kids from the cold.Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet.In1999,the sport was included in the6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in Beijing.★Flying kitesKites have quite a long history.The earliest kites were made of wood,instead of paper.Nowadays, the four most famous kites are the Beijing kite,Tianjin kite,Weifang kite and Nantong kite,of which each has distinctive features.The kite which resembles a swallow is a well-known Beijing style.★Hide-and-seekHide-and-seek is a traditional game for children,popular around the nation.There are two ways to play:covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄)him or,more commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.★Playing diabolosA diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and has empty space in the center.By juggling(边抛边接)the diabolo on the rope,the high-speed spinning diabolos will make a sound like a whistle.Playing diabolos is an interesting folk game,especially popular in North China.Playing diabolos was also included in the first group of national intangible cultural heritage.1.Why did ancient children often play stone balls in the winter?A.To practice their feet B.To warm themselvesC.To train their skills D.To relax themselves.2.Which kites are swallow-shaped?A.Weifang kites.B.Tianjin kites.C.Beijing kites.D.Nantong kites.3.According to the passage,which one is a national intangible cultural heritage?A.Stone balls.B.Flying kites.C.Hide-and-seek.D.Playing diabolosBTechnology usually distracts us from nature.But now technology is“offering us an opportunity to listen to nonhumans in powerful ways,reviving our connection to the natural world,”wrote professor Karen Bakker in her new book,The Sounds of Life:How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants.All around the animal kingdom,there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and decipher.Elephants, for example,communicate with each other using infrasound,a sound frequency far below our human hearing range.Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves,with one purpose being to attract baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow.This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears!Scientists have placed listening devices in these environments to pick up sounds humans are normally unable to detect.After the sounds are recorded,AI is then able to determine their meaning,according to the news website Vox.There are now whole databases of whale songs and honeybee dances.Bakker wrote that one day this information could be turned into“a zoological version of Google Translate”.One animal language Bakker wrote about is that of the elephant.She explained how elephants“have a different signal for honeybee,which is a threat,and a different signal for human,”in an interview with Vox.“Moreover,they distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans,”she said.This technology can not only understand the animals,but also communicate back to them.For example,bees use dances to communicate to their peers where to go in search of nectar.A research team in Germany,therefore,fed the bee language AI database system into a robot bee,allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move,Vox reported.Whereas in the past language creation had been limited to mainly apes,with there being many examples of chimpanzees(黑猩猩)having been taught sign language to communicate with humans,this new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom.4.What does the underlined word“decipher”most probably mean in paragraph2? A.Understand.B.Hear.C.Produce.D.Record.5.What helps baby coral choose their home?A.Infrasound.B.Sounds within human range of hearing. C.Sounds through its ears.D.Sound waves.6.What can we infer from the passage?A.Bees used dances to warn their peers of danger.B.Human fed listening devices into coral to detect it.C.Elephants have different signals for different purposes.D.Elephants can tell whether there are threatening animals around.7.Why did researchers create the robot bee?A.To collect more bee dances.B.To convey direction to bees.C.To learn the language of bees.D.To help bees search for their friends.CWhen you are travelling in Thailand,which means of transport is the best choice?You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand.It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north.The most popular bikes are the little125cc Honda Dream which you can get for about150baht(铢)a day or as little as3,000baht per month,making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi.When you are in cities in Thailand,especially in Bangkok,always remember to get a taxi that is traveling on the roads.Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the meter(计程表).They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good,so renting cars is another way to get around.The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable price.It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West.Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand,more expensive than American prices,but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe.In the past,Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in—signs were generally in Thai (泰语)only,making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around.But now,the situation is improved.In a lot of places,even the farthest corners of the country,street signs are in both Thai and English.8.To a foreigner,the cheapest way to get around Thailand is renting a______.A.car B.taxi C.bike D.motorbike9.What is the writer's advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?A.To take a taxi going on the road.B.To take a taxi parked outside hotels.C.To make sure there is a meter in it.D.To bargain with the driver over the price. 10.Why was it difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past?A.Because there were too many traffic jams on the roads.B.Because there were no signs showing directions.C.Because the signs were written only in their own language.D.Because the quality of the roads was not good.11.In which part of magazine can this passage be found?A.Entertainment B.Tourism C.Market D.AdvertisementDWilliam I,who conquered England some930years ago,had wealth,power and an army.Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time,he had nothing like a flush toilet(抽水马桶),or riding lawn mower(除草机).How did he get by?History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me.I have storm windows, Croesus did not.Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great,but he couldn,t buy cat food.Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people,you,d think I,d be content.The trouble is that,like most people,I compare my wealth with that of living persons:neighbors,school classmates,famous TV people.The greed I feel toward my friend Howard,s new kitchen is not reduced by the fact no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.’There is really no rising or falling standard of living.Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about.You,d think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood,but no, we want a hot bath too.Of course,one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today,s standards the things I own are pretty nice.My house is smaller than the houses of many investments bankers,but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides,to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future,these bankers,fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby.I can,t keep up with my neighbors right now.But just wait.12.What does the underlined phrase“get by”in the first paragraph mean?A.Succeed as a king.B.Deal with complaints.C.Live in s satisfactory way.D.Get some extra money.13.How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?A.3.B.4.C.5D.614.According to the passage,the author.intends to.A.tell us to be content with lifeB.warn us to live in a simple wayC.teach us to learn lessons from lifeD.encourage us to struggle for wealth15.What,s the author,s attitude towards life?A.Doubtful.B.Optimistic.C.Uncaring.D.Cautious.二、阅读理解第二节七选五(5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(共1题;共10分)Table manners are the ultimate way to show respect or some accidental disrespect to yourhost.___16___.In France,you are supposed to use two hands to eat—either fork and knife or fork and bread.Bread isn't meant to be an appetizer.___17___When you eat the bread,tear off a piece of it to eat instead of biting directly into the bread.When not in use,the bread belongs on the table or tablecloth instead of the plate.Finishing everything on your plate is a no-no in many Asian countries.___18___Leaving a small amount on your plate symbolizes that you've had your fill and acknowledges your host's generosity.___19___So,tipping,in their culture,is rude.Even if they don’t assume you’re being rude,they can

Even as the raindrops intensified, folks kept exploring the tables stationed in the parking lot of St. Monica Church. Among the crowd were a number of college students, mostly from the University of Rochester, likely brought in by the College Night awards being offered--a five-dollar token(购物券),a handbag, and a prize raffle entry, all free of charge.Now in its 15th year, Westside volunteer Jackie Farrell said the market partners merelywith local farms, businesses, and community groups to populate its tables. "Our mission really is to serve the people in the community, getting them health and nutrition information, and connecting them to the farmers who grow the produce," Farrell said, "Everything has to be local. It's a producer-only market, so you have to grow or produce whatever you're going to sell here." Those producers had diverse offerings. Vegetables, of course, were abundant but sellers also pushed cheeses, spreads, bread, prepared pasta dishes, and much more.The community groups offering information were diverse too. Recovery All Ways, a local nonprofit with a stated "mission to support anyone affected by substance use disorder" handed out Narcan and trained people in its use. Their station was next to a Moms Demand Action tent, where staffers provided information on physical safety. SNAP-Ed nutrition and benefits educators also ran a table.The activities of the stations was scored by live music. The University's Midnight Ramblers performed, and a local jazz band played away as the rain showers started rolling in.Farrell hoped that the College Night promotion would help make students more comfortable crossing the bridge into the Rochester community." We love college students, and we keep encouraging them that all they have to do is go across the bridge."24.What attracted college students to the College Night?A. Free prizes.B.

Westside Farmers Market is expanding nationwideCAs a historian who's always searching for the text or the image that makes us re-evaluatethe past, I've become occupied with looking for photographs that show our Victorian ancestors smiling. I've found quite a few, but disappointingly my collection of 'Smiling Victorians' makes up only a tiny percentage of the vast ocean of photographic portraits (肖像画) created between 1840 and 1900 the majority of which show sitters posing like marble statues in front of painted backdrops, or staring absently into the middle distance. How do we explain this trend?During the 1840s and 1850s, in the early days of photography, exposure time was shockingly long: the daguerreotype photographic method (银版照相法) could take several minutes to complete, resulting in unclear images as sitters shifted position or adjusted their arms and legs. So a blank stare instead of a fixed smile became the norm. But exposure time was much shorter by the 1880s. Natural smiles were relatively easy to capture by the 1890s, so we must look elsewhere for an explanation of why Victorians still hesitated to smile.One explanation might be the loss of dignity displayed through a cheesy smile. "Nature gave us lips to cover our teeth," ran one popular Victorian saying, indicating an easy-to-ignore fact that before the birth of proper dentistry, mouths and irregular and yellow teeth were like peas and carrots. A flashing set of healthy and clean, regular pearly white teeth was a rare sight in Victorian society, the preserve of the super-rich.A toothy smile, especially when there were gaps or blackened teeth, lacked class: Drunks, beggars, and some music hall performers might makes faces and smile with a laugh as wide 8s Lewis Carroll's gum-exposing Cheshire Cat, but it was not a becoming look for properly brought-up people. Even Mark Twain, a man who enjoyed a hearty laugh, said that when it came to photographic portraits there could be “nothing more stomach-turning than a silly, foolish smile fixed forever".28.What do the underlined words “this trend" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Collectors' preference for portraits.B. Victorians' tension before the camera.C. Historians' search for new photographs.D. Photographers' need of new techniques.29.What is a cause of Victorians' unwillingness to smile in the 1890s?A. The shockingly long exposure time.B. The requirement of clear pictures.C. The misunderstanding of dignity.D. The worrying dental condition.30.Why does the author mention Lewis Carroll and Mark Twain?A. To introduce a new topic.B. To make a certain prediction.C. To illustrate a point of view.D. To provide some useful advice.31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. The Secret of Victorians' PortraitsB. Photographs of Victorians: Faded SmilesC. A Question for Victorians: to Smile or NotD. A Strange Story- the Unsmiling VictoriansDVoice cloning is when a computer program is used to generate a synthetic(合成的), adaptable copy of a person's voice. From a recording of someone talking, the software is able to then copy his or her voice speaking any words or sentences that you type into a keyboard.Such have been the recent advances in the technology that the computer generated audio is now said to be shockingly exact. The software can pick up not just your accent-but your timbre(音质),pace, flow of speaking and your breathing. And the cloned voice can be adjusted to express any required emotion-such as anger, fear, happiness or boredom.Voice cloning can also be used to translate an actor's words into different languages, therefore potentially meaning, for example, that US film production companies will no longer need to hire additional actors to make sound-copied versions of their movies for overseas distribution.Yet despite it obvious commercial potential, voice coning has also led to growing concerns that it could be used in cyber(网络)crime-to trick people that someone else is talking. And cyber security expert Eddy Bobritsky says there is a "huge security risk" that comes with the synthetic voices, In fact, such a case was reported by the Wall Street Journal in 2019,with a UK manager said io have been tricked into transferring 190,000 to cyber-criminals who used a cloned copy of the voice of his German boss.Therefore, steps to deal with this new technology and the threats it brings with it need tobe made. And fi round the world are in fact already doing this. Such companies can monitor audio to see if it is fake, looking for tell-tale signs like repetition, digital noise, and the use of certain phrases or words Meanwhile, governments and law agencies are also looking at the issue. Last year, the EU urged its member states to make "significant investments" in technologies that can detect deepfakes.32.How far has voice cloning gone?A. An accent can be changed randomly.B. Speech features of a person can be copied exactly.C. Words and sentences typed can be recognized easily.D. Computer-generated audios can record emotions accurately.33.How does voice cloning benefit film companies?A. It popularizes their movies.B. It reduces production costs.C .It expands overseas markets.D. It trains their amateur actors.34.What does the underlined phrase "huge security risk" mean in paragraph 4?A. Voice cloning can be used illegally.B. Employees have doubts on their bosses.C. People are forced to commit a crime.D. Synthetic voice loses its commercial value.35.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The procedures to detect a fake cloned voice.B. The urges to increase investment in voice cloning.C. The methods to improve the quality of cloned voice.D. The measures to prevent negative effects of voice cloning.第二节(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分25分)阅读下面短文,从短文后提供的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。

At 12, Christianna decided she wanted to start a business. Her three business ideas were baking, arts and crafts (手工艺品), and soap. Baking turned out to be more of a challenge than she expected, and her paintings and drawings didn’t sell as she hoped. Not one to give up easily, Christianna turned her passion into purpose by creating Sweet Christi’s.Meanwhile, Christianna also started a nonprofit focused on the education of girls through STEM. But that’s not all this teen CEO does: she is involved in many practical things, and she’s a speaker at several youth conferences and also the author of the children’s book Stay Sweet and Never Miss a Beat.Recently, Richard Cuff, founder of NASEMBA Business Alliance, announced the 15-year-old would serve as Youth Ambassador for the Operation ECLIPSE campaign which advocates for the positive representation of local entrepreneurs (企业家) and stresses the economic impact that the entrepreneurs are having on the local economy. Through Operation ECLIPSE, NASEMBA Business Alliance’s goal is to raise funds to back local programmes to benefit small businesses while helping political leaders better understand the historical and social significance of local entrepreneurial families. “We will work with our political leaders who want to close the wealth gap by shaping policies that will direct financial aid to young entrepreneurs,” said Richard.“Having an instructor is important and I can’t put into words how important it is to be able to talk to successful entrepreneurs,” said Christianna. “The campaign also encourages business owners and managers to give advice or guidance to young entrepreneurs while supporting plans that provide direction to benefit our at-risk youth. I believe entrepreneurs can help address many social issues with love. The campaign would shine a bright light on the young entrepreneurs, and enable us to become better.”4.Why did Christianna start the soap business?A.To avoid failure.B.To meet a challenge.C.To realize her ambition.D.To fun d the nonprofit.5.Which qualities of Christianna are stressed in paragraph 2?A.Caring and active.B.Visionary and independent.C.Academically-minded and brave.D.Strong-willed and industrious. 6.What does NASEMBA Business Alliance aim to do?A.Bridge the gap between rich and poor.B.Raise money for campaigns.C.Explore entrepreneurial families’ impacts.D.Support local small businesses. 7.What does Christianna say about Operation ECLIPSE?A.It solves many social problems.B.It provides new insights into leadership.C.It helps protect the youth from potential risks.D.It advocates the experiencedassisting the young.Millions of tourists travel to parks each year to enjoy the bright colors of fall—but ecologists say the familiar reds, oranges and yellows of fall foliage (叶子) are coming later in the season. “In New England, generally the fall foliage tends to peak in mid-October,” said Richard Primack, a professor of plant ecology. “But because of a warming climate, the peak of fall foliage is tending to move from kind of early to middle October to kind of middle to late October.”Predicting precisely when the leaves will turn from green to red, orange and yellow in fall depends in part on the geographic area, the species and the amount of rainfall, and climate change can largely determine the timing. And leaves of trees with harmful insects will drop sooner, according to Christy Rollinson, a forest ecologist. “Bright colors are associated with a healthy tree, because some colors take energy for the tree to produce.”Peak color used to last for about two weeks, but for certain species, that period might be becoming more condensed as higher temperatures continue late into the fall because the rate at which days get shorter throughout the season remains the same. So future generations might just have to be ready to travel at a moment’s notice to catch a peak period in parts of the country.Such changes could affect the tourism industry surrounding leaf peeping (看), according to Sarah Blount, a researcher at the National Environmental Education Foundation. She underscored how important it is to try to improve peak timing predictions. “There’s so much money attached to it,” she said. “People want to buy a plane ticket to go somewhere and don’t want to find that it turns out that it’s too late and all the leaves are gone or it’s too early, so there is a lot of focus on trying to improve the information that we have about that. ”8.What do Richard’s words show?A.The lateness of peak fall foliage.B.The rareness of a trend.C.The impacts of climate change.D.The mass appeal of fall colors. 9.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A.Visible signs of the coming of fall.B.The timing of colorful fall foliage.C.Factors in fall foliage’s changing colors.D.Determinants of the brightness of colors. 10.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “condensed” in paragraph 3?A.Irregular.B.Important.C.Lengthy.D.Brief. 11.What does Sarah Blount imply?A.The country relies heavily on tourism.B.Predicting peak foliage precisely is vital.C.It takes effort to protect the environment.D.Scheduling leaf-peeping trips early is better.Consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has increased over the past 20 years. UPFs contain few or no whole foods, are industrially produced, are ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat, and include additives. The ultra-processing of food lessens its nutritional value. It has been known that higher UPF consumption is associated with overweight and heart disease. Now, research has been extended to examine its impact on mental health.In a new study, over 72,000 participants who were at least 55 years old and didn’t have dementia (痴呆) at the start of the study were followed for an average of 10 years, during which they filled out questionnaires regarding their diet. By the end of the study, 518 people were diagnosed (诊断) with dementia. After adjusting for other factors that could affect risk of dementia such as age, gender, and heart disease, researchers found every 10 percent increase in daily intake of UPFs was associated with a 25percent higher risk of dementia. They also found replacing 10 percent of UPFs with unprocessed or minimally processed foods was associated with a 19 percent lower risk of dementia.In another study, researchers found individuals who consumed the most UPFs had statistically significant increases in the symptoms (症状) of mild depression, “mentally unhealthy days”, and “anxious days”. Eric Hecht, Founder and Executive Director of the Institute of Etiological Research, said, “More than 70 percent of packaged foods in the US are classified as UPFs and represent about 60 percent of all calories consumed by Americans. Given the degree of exposure to and effects of UPF consumption, this study has greatsignificance in clinical practice and public health. It might help improve future development of dietary guidelines.”Facing such alarming data, maybe it’s time for Americans to reconsider their food options. Researchers recommend taxes on UPFs and carrying out policies to reduce the consumption. They also support programs and policies to increase the availability and affordability of whole foods, especially among disadvantaged populations.12.What do we know about UPFs?A.They have no nutritional value.B.They are ready-made and instant foods.C.They are cheap and mass-produced.D.They serve as additions to our daily diets.13.What’s Eric Hecht’s attitude toward the new study?A.Positive.B.Doubtful.C.Mixed.D.Conservative. 14.What do researchers suggest doing?A.Collecting higher taxes on UPFs.B.Decreasing UPFs’ share in diet.C.Focusing on the nutrient content of foods.D.Increasing public awareness of whole foods.15.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.Public Health Response to UPFs B.Physical Disorders Linked to UPFsC.Rising Consumption of UPFs in the US D.Negative Effects of UPFs on Mental HealthCultural intelligence, or cultural quotient (CQ) is the ability to manage cultural diversity.16 It also involves understanding and appreciating cultural differences and being able to adapt to those differences.17 For one thing, it can help you avoid misunderstandings and communication breakdowns with people from other cultures. For another, it enables you to build strong relationships with them. Want to improve your CQ? Try the following tips.If you’re unfamiliar with the culture, chances are you’re not going to adapt well to it. So the first practical aspect of CQ you need to improve is your CQ drive. 18 This drive is the first step towards higher CQ that may help you be open to new possibilities. All you have to do is explore the new situation you find yourself in.After you’ve motivated yourself to get a bit more familiar with the culture, it’s time togo one step further. 19 Of course, this doesn’t mean you need to become an expert in the said culture. Simply, you should try to get to know the ways in which that culture forms and influences its people’s values and behavior.Lastly, you need to use what you have learned and come up with a strategy that will help you improve your CQ. You can expose yourself to various media. This is a useful and easily accessible way to learn about how culture affects behavior. Again, it helps if you learn the language of the culture. This may open a whole new world for you. 20A.You should broaden your CQ knowledge.B.There are many benefits of having high CQ.C.To be culturally intelligent is no easy matter.D.This means your motivation to learn about a different culture.E.Seek out opportunities to interact with people from other cultures.F.This ability is not limited to your cultural sensitivity and awareness.G.It can help you better understand people from other cultures as well.二、完形填空Figure skating is a vital part of my life.

A(重庆市重点中学九校联盟高三第一次联考)The dangers of sitting all day are obvious. Researchers have shown that remaining sitting for extended periods of time (like at your 9-to-5 desk job) can do harm to your health. While exercise is a big part of reducing the harmful effects of sitting, it was unclear how many gym periods were needed to help – until now.A new study, published in The Lancet, shows the ideal formula for reducing the negative effects of a sedentary(久坐的)job. Instead of a fixed number of hours spent exercising, the ratio(比率)depends on how much you sit: people who work a typical eight-hour day should spend at least one hour each day moving. If you sit six hours a day, you should spend half an hour exercising. The research also indicates that the exercise doesn’t have to be all once – or rigorous(严格的). It can be spread throughout the day and be as simple as walking.The team behind the study analyzed data from a pool of a million adults over the age of 45 in Western Europe, the United States, and Australia. Using previous data, the researchers examined data from 16 published studies and used it to determine how much exercise is required to compensate for sitting. Their recommended daily exercise goal is higher than previous advice but not necessarily less achievable, given it can be completed throughout the day.Fitting in an hour of exercise a day sounds especially discouraging if you have a desk job, but there are plenty of workouts you can complete before and after work. Even if it means taking a 10-minute walk during lunch, your body will thank you in the long run.21. The underlined words “compensate for” can be best replaced by ________.A. make up forB. break away fromC. give upD. take the place of22. According to the new study, good news for the people working long hours at desk is that ________.A. workouts may reduce the harm of sitting for longB. the harm of sitting for long has been provedC. they don’t have to exercise as long as suggested previouslyD. the time spent on exercise is flexible23. What can be inferred from the article?A. The best form of workouts is walking.B. The longer you exercise, the better.C. The new exercise goal is practical though higher.D. A desk job makes it impossible to exercise regularly.24. The second paragraph is developed mainly ________.A. by exampleB. by processC. by comparisonD. by contrastBChildren and Youth Sidewalk SaleYoung people are bursting with artistic energy.

One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine replacement, like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy(疗法) with a nurse before and after quit day.Six months later, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it--more than one-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support.And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they’d rather cut down gradually before quitting. “If you’re training for a marathon, you wouldn’t expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think, “Well, if I gradua lly reduce, it’s like practice,” says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasn’t the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them addiction and withdrawal symptoms(脱瘾症状) before they even reached the day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. “Regardless of your stated preference, if you’re ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective,” says Dr. Gabriela Ferreira. “When you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, that’s acceptable. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it,” Ferreira says.People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.28.

They were offered nicotine replacement.C. They were encouraged by psychologist.D. They were looked after by physicians.30. How does Dr. Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawley’s experiment?A. It is encouragingB. It is unexpectedC. It is impracticalD. It is misleading31. Take the idea of “a marathon” (Para.5) as an example to show that quitting smoking .A. is something few can accomplishB. requires a lot of patienceC. needs some practice firstD. is a challenge at the beginningD(河北衡水中学高三八模)That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the first night, effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect.Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved.The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators (捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar envi ronment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did.Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.32. What do we learn about Dr. Y uka Sasaki doing her research?A. She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep.B. She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way.C. She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins.D. She conducted studies on birds’ and dolphins’ sleeping patterns.33. What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment?A. She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment.B. She recruited (招募) 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences.C. She studied the differences between th e two sides of participants’ brains.D. She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects.34. What did Dr. Sasaki do when re-running her experiment?A. She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains.B. She recorded partici pants’ adaptation to changed environment.C. She exposed her participants to two different stimuli (刺激物).D. She compared the responses of different participants.35. What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment?A. They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others.B. They tended to recognize irregular beeps as a threat.C. They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps.D. They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones.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,选项中有两项为多余选项。
