2024北京高三二模英语汇编七选五一、阅读理解（2024北京顺义高三二模）When fighting sugar dependence, avoiding added sugar in the diet is key, which sounds simple — right? It certainly does, but things become a bit more complicated once we introduce alternative sweeteners into the mix.1 Many people think that if they replace the sugar in their diet with alternative sweeteners, they’ll be good to go, but this isn’t necessarily the case.Alternative sweeteners are everywhere. 2 For example, Stevia is a popular sugar substitute (代替者) because it is up to 200 times sweeter than sugar and provides fewer calories. Mon k fruit is another example that is free from calories, sweeter than table sugar, and gained from the juice of monk fruit. 3 Sugar alcohols provide fewer calories than regular sugar because they are not fully absorbed by the body.Now that we know some of the common types of alternative sweeteners, let’s take a deeper dive into the problem with them. Research in animals has shown that removing calories from foods that taste sweet can interrupt the ability to control energy intake. 4 If we consume high amounts of alternative sweeteners, it may heighten our preference for sweetness, resulting in the overuse of sugar-sweetened foods and drinks.The other interesting thing about alternative sweeteners is that our brains don’t recognize them as “fake (假的)” sugar. 5 Whenever a food tastes sweet, a message is sent to the brain that communicates we are tasting a sweet food — which can further feed into the sugar dependence cycle.So what do I recommend? In order to fully put a definite end to sugar dependence, reducing your intake of alternative sweeteners should be the goal.A．The taste profile of alternative sweeteners varies.B．We can’t forget about the ever-so-popular sugar alcohols.C．There are countless alternative sweeteners on the market.D．Our brain senses something sweet and thinks it is real sugar.E．They may help reduce the calorie content of good-tasting foods and drinks.F．Artificial sweeteners may also cause one’s body to prefer sweeter-tasting foods.G．Alternative sweeteners are referred to as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie” sweeteners.（2024北京丰台高三二模）At the end of the day, most of us find ourselves on the couch, eyes glued to the television or to our smartphones, doing everything we can to conserve energy. 6 But are we hardwired (本能的) for it?According to Michael Inzlicht, a social psychologist at the University of Toronto, we’re lazy and also, we’re not.All humans, given equal options, will take the easy way out. Does it mean we’re lazy? Maybe. 7 We always minimize our effort and, at the same time, maximize the amount of reward we get for that effort. A study published in the journal Neuropsychologia found that our brains may be hardwired for laziness. Even though we know the benefits of exercise, we stay glued to the couch.8 We can’t know for sure whether there is an evolutionary (进化的) purpose to it. But that wouldmake sense. After all, before we were able to go to the grocery store, calories were much more directly linked to effort. Every calorie we burned meant more hunting, fishing, or gathering.But there are the times when humans are the opposite of lazy and do very difficult things for no apparent reason. Some rewards only come from extensive effort. 9 Running this far might even cause more harm than good in terms of running injuries like stress fractures, back pain and so on. But we do it anyway because putting in the effort makes us feel good, says Inzlicht. 10So, in that sense, effort is worth the effort. While humans are economically aware of effort most of the time, “in some cases, the effort itself is rewarding,” says Inzlicht.A．Think about things like running a marathon.B．It’s not completely clear why humans behave this way.C．It seems that we humans are gifted in the way of laziness.D．We similarly love to space out, our brain tired of focusing.E．But it certainly means that we’re economic with our effort.F．Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems.G．Likewise, we might get a sense of pleasure or mastery from doing a crossword puzzle.（2024北京昌平高三二模）Everyone carries a shield（屏障）. Our shields protect what we don’t want others to see, from our embarrassing secrets to our unpredictable feelings. 11 But the problem is that shields can become heavy burdens — easy to put on yet difficult to remove — with terrible effects.Since shields encourage us to hide negative parts of ourselves, we can start to believe that we aren’t worth showing. We might fear how our friends will judge our struggles or how our families will view our ambitions.12However, we have to remember that we aren’t perfect, nor should we expect to be. We need to find and cure the wounds underneath our shields, but that means we have to let down our guard. We may even have problems we haven’t admitted to ourselves. 13 Even if it seems insignificant, every problem should be acknowledged before it grows. Before being cured, we must know that we need to be cured, and be okay with admitting that.Knowing this takes bravery and patience, so it’ll be hard. 14 Yet asking for help means admitting our problems to somebody else — it means letting them see what’s behind our shields. To make it easier, we can reveal ourselves to somebody close to us who we trust will understand us and provide personal support. Or, if we fear judgement, we can open up to someone distant but knowledgeable, such as a counsellor or a help line. No matter what, we can find help when we begin searching.15 We can be more forgiving of faults so we can become comfortable with ours and encourage others to follow. Most importantly, we can let people know that we are willing to listen and help and make it easier to let down our shields.A. This is not a bad thing.B. We need to be understood.C. We shouldn’t expect to do any of it without help.D. In short, we have the power to change this phenomenon.E. Hence we decide to hide ourselves underneath our masks.F. If you can’t trust your partner, it won’t be easy to let them in.G. Maybe we’re hiding something from a friend or scared to admit an error.（2024北京朝阳高三二模）Studies about sleep and employee behavior typically focus on various activities that occur within the body during sleep, and their impact on daytime cognition. New research adopts a different method. 16The researchers conducted three studies involving thousands of dreams recalled by employees. The first study asked participants upon awakening to rate the degree of awe (敬畏) and wonder brought by their dreams and to write down their biggest work problem. 17 Another one they answered was whether they envisioned anything good arising from the difficult work situation—a measure of resilience, which meant the ability to become strong and happy again after toughness. Those who found positive meaning in dreams reported higher levels of awe. 18 In the second study, participants who recalled a dream likewise reported its positive or negative meaning, and then wrote descriptions of the dream and what they took to be its causes and meaning. After work they answered questions about their resilien ce and progress on the day’s tasks. 19 The third study tracked similar measures among employees who participated daily for two weeks, and it looked at how naturally curious each person was. It found similar results about awe and showed that it raised resilience and productivity far more in the naturally curious.20 Awe can help people deal more effectively with challenges and progress toward goals. “Our research reveals how awe can be brought about at a time that has a critical impact on daily wor k outcomes,” the researchers write. “Employees could use dream journals and simple practices to ‘guide’ their nighttime visions, thus increasing their odds of having meaningful, awe-inspiring dreams.”A. A positive dream brings a sense of sudden insight, giving rise to awe.B. The increased awe was also proved to be associated with greater resilience.C. In fact, dreaming may help improve problem-solving skills in daily routine.D. Here, too, good dreams boosted awe and resilience, fueling progress on work goals.E. It finds that remembering a good dream can help people make progress in the day’s tasks.F. Researchers acknowledge that dreams may involve content related to waking experiences.G. They then answered the question about whether they thought the dream was positive or negative.（2024北京东城高三二模）Socrates, Galileo, Marie Curie, Einstein ... What did these great thinkers have in common? They all practiced deliberate doubt and used it as a tool to improve their thinking and generate creative ideas.21 It is about suspending our certainty and letting go of our preconceived（先入为主的）notions in order to explore new ideas and perspectives. When we’re certain of something, we tend to stop looking for alternative explanations or possibilities. 22 Doubt can, of course, be unsettling, but it can also result in a greater understanding of a subject and inspire fresh thoughts and insights.23 But it doesn’t mean we should use it all the time. While deliberate doubt can be a valuable tool for generating creative ideas and exploring complex problems, it can also be counterproductive if it is not practiced in the right way.It’s important to keep in mind that deliberate doubt is not constant doubt. If we’re continuously doubting our own ideas, we’ll be less likely to pursue them and see them through to completion. 24 We spend so much time doubting everything and end up not doing anything.25 We can become self-critical and unsure of our abilities, which can undermine our self-esteem. As aresult, we may be too afraid to try new things or take risks.To avoid these traps, it’s important to strike a balance between doubt and certainty, and to use doubt as a tool to stimulate creative thinking and exploration, rather than as a means of undermining ourselves or others.A. Deliberate doubt can also lead to a lack of confidence.B. But when we doubt, we’re forced to consider other perspectives.C. In this case, deliberate doubt can prevent us from making decisions.D. When practiced all the time, deliberate doubt can lead to a different belief.E. By turning doubt into a deliberate process, we open ourselves to new possibilities.F. Deliberate doubt is the practice of actively questioning our beliefs and assumptions.G. Deliberate doubt can help us to develop a more open-minded approach to the world.（2024北京海淀高三二模）Being sensitive means that you are observant, careful, and thoughtful. It can also mean you sometimes overinterpret or overreact to perceived criticism or judgment. If you tend to be a highly sensitive person, you are more likely to misread signals from others, sense social threats, and struggle to adapt to new circumstances. 26The power of insensitivity can be interpreted as “sluggish (迟钝的) power”. 27 For example, those working on complex research projects with “sluggish power” persist with focus and determination in the face of challenges such as tight deadlines and limited resources. Their resilience facilitates effective problem-solving, ensuring the successful completion of tasks despite obstacles.28 That is one of the important reasons why insensitivity allows a person to better survive and adapt in a competitive environment. Knowing oneself is difficult, but knowing oneself correctly is undoubtedly an excellent ability—a trait shared by many successful people, who all clearly know where their strengths are, what they can do, what they want, and what direction to go.Practicing insensitivity involves several key strategies. Firstly, be assertive. Express our needs and opinions positively and with confidence. Secondly, adopt a forward-looking mindset.29 Additionally, detach from external influences. Avoid excessive concern over others’ opinions and speculation on others’ thoughts. L astly, manage relationships. Recognize our personal responsibilities while respecting others’ boundaries. Don’t interfere with other people’s subjects and don’t let others interfere with ours either.30 Once you become a bit “blunt” and slow down the pace, you will feel more comfortable.A. Learn to view the problem as two parts.B. That’s where the need to be insensitive comes from.C. I hope everyone can obtain the ability to be insensitive.D. Behind insensitivity is a strong sense of self-awareness.E. Being a highly sensitive person can come with many challenges.F. It implies the ability to calmly face the setbacks and firmly move forward.G. Focus on long-term goals rather than the ups and downs of life at the moment.（2024北京西城高三二模）Want to write better? There’s a new book that says simple writing is best.Do you check your text messages before sending? 31 If not, you might prefer getting things done fast, even if they’re not perfect.This book argues that it’s important to write carefully, even for quick messages. Todd Rogers and Jessica LaskyFink, from Harvard, wrote “Writing For Busy Readers”. It’s smartly named because everyone’s busy today. People get lots of messages every day, from emails to texts. 32 Deciding what to read, skim, or ignore happens many times a day for almost everyone.The authors share good writing tips, like cutting unnecessary words and using simple words everyone knows. They say it’s important to keep sentences simple. They tested the idea that less is more. For example, they sent an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey. They made the email shorter, from 127 to 49 words, and got double the responses (from 2.7% to 4.8%). 33The same is true for text messages. In another test, they sent a short message asking parents to take a survey. It got more responses than a longer, more sympathetic one. Sometimes, being short and clear works better than being kind but ignored. It’s not just what you say, but how quickly you say it that matters.It’s not just about word count. 34 Reducing the number of options has the same effect. Short, active sentences with common words are best.From posts to online reviews, following these rules gets more likes and shares. Serious writers should pay attention too. A study found that companies using long sentences and complicated words were seen as less moral and trustworthy.35 It might be tempting to send messages quickly and hope for the best. But taking time to write for your readers has benefits. If you send a rushed message that readers ignore, it’s like you didn’t send it at all.A. If everyone is a busy reader, everyone is a busy writer too.B. They can also get puzzled by social media platforms.C. If you do, you probably like making even the simplest messages perfect.D. They found that longer messages make people think the task will take longer.E. Keeping messages to one idea, or as few as possible, helps make sure they’re read,remembered, and acted on.F. Your goal is to convey enough passion that your readers think the issue in yourmessage is worth caring about.G. Explaining the thinking behind your messages will allow readers to see that youknow what you’re talking about.参考答案1．G 2．C 3．B 4．F 5．D【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述了在对抗糖依赖时，避免在饮食中添加糖以及替代甜味剂。

一、Music has long been considered to be an enjoyable pastime for many people．____1____ The mental health benefits from music can't be argued．Music could also be helping you with many other health problems behind the scenes．____2____However，for the same reason，music can be very beneficial if one is in pain．By distracting （分心）the mind from the pain，music，people say，can lower stress and anxiety levels．This，of course，can lead to less pain．Many people enjoy relaxing music in the evening prior to going tobed．____3____While the validity of the idea is still being assessed，the lowered stress can even be tied back to blood pressure．Similarly, according to researchers，listening to just 30 minutes of soft music every day may help with healthy blood sugar levels，through the lowering of stress and anxiety．When it comes to heart health，there is speculation （推测）that it's not the style of music，but rather the tempo that makes it so good for your heart health．In one European study，participants listened to music as the researchers monitored their heart rates and blood pressure．____4____ On the other hand，when the music slowed，the participants' stress and anxiety levels became lower and the effects on heart rates appeared to follow suit．____5____But there is a whole range of other health issues that turning up the radio could be beneficial for，which is what makes music so valuable．A．This feeling can also result in many other health problems．B．Some experts say that music can be harmful if it is too loud．C．This idea is a little off-the-wall but still has scientific backing．D．They say it can play a big role in calming the brain enough to sleep．E．The implications of music on overall well-being are really impressive．F．It is also highly popular due to the individualized effects on stress and anxiety．G．Interestingly，the more cheerful the music was，the faster their heart rates were．Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance. Dance expresses love and hate, joy and sorrow, life and death, and everything else in between.____6____We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea. We dance at weddings, birthdays, office parties and just to fill the time.“I adore dancing,” says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. “I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages. “Teaching dance is wonderful. _____7_____It’s great to watch them. For many of them, it’s a way of meeting people and having a social life.”____8____“I can tell you about one young couple,” says Bridges. “They’re learning to do traditional dances. They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile. ______9______”So, do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better, calmer, healthier? Andrea Hillier says, “Dance, like the pattern of a beating heart, is life. Even after all these years, I want to get better and better._____10_____ I find it hard to stop! Dancing reminds me I’m alive.”A．So why do we dance?B．Dance in the U.S. is everywhere.C．If you like dancing outdoors, come to America.D．My older students say it makes them feel young.E．I keep practicing even when I’m extremely tired.F．Dancing seems to change their feeling completely.G．They stayed up all night long singing and dancing.二、Color is fundamental in home design—something you’ll always have in every room. A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms you’ll love to live in. Do you want a room that’s full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day?_____11_____, color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. _____12_____, they can get a little complex. But good news is that there’re really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones._____13_____. They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable.Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. _____14_____. They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you’re looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant. _____15_____.A．While all of them are usefulB．Whatever you’re looking forC．If you’re experimenting with a colorD．Small color choices are the ones we’re most familiar withE．It’s not really a good idea to use too many small color piecesF．So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first timeG．Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways 三、Why Do We Get Angry?Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering（触发）events, personality traits（特征）, and our assessment of situations. ___16___Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. _____17_____ The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits.Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance aremuch more likely to get angry. ____18____ Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.___19___Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.___20___However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.A．Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well. B．But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger. C．Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.D．Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.E．Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.F．Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.G．Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.四、Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. ___21___One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. ___22___ We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections betweenneurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day.___23___Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. ___24___The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. ___25___ “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.A．We should also try to sleep well the night before.B．It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C．Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick. D．The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories. E．That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning. F．“Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.G．Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.五、If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. ___26___The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. ____27____ We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distanceto take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. ____28____ Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.___29___ We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.___30___ It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.A．This time there was no tent.B．Things are going to be improved.C．The trip they took me on was a rough one.D．I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.E．I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.F．After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.G．There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.六、Evaluating Sources of health InformationMaking good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. ___31___ Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. ______32______Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour ＂contributes to＂or is ＂associated with＂an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. ___33___ Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. ____34____ Evaluate ＂scientific＂statements carefully, and be aware of quackery (江湖骗术).___35___ Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.A．Make choices that are right for you.B．The goal of an ad is to sell you something.C．Be sure to work through the critical questions.D．And examine the findings of the original research.E．Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.F．Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s pointof view.G．The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.七、Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables.____36____ Make a study time and have it at the same time every day.

Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help?Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 1 Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.● Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 2● Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 3 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?● 4 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. 5 You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.A. Visit during off-peak times.B. So, should we stop traveling ?C. Travel for you and no one else.D. Can overtourism be avoided then ?E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places.F. You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.G. Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.[语篇导读] The text mainly introduces some tips on making wise decisions on going on a tour to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.[参考答案] 1.

七选五My, what a big beak you have!For humans, adapting to climate change will mostly be a matter of technology. More air conditioning, better-designed houses and bigger flood defenses may help to make the effects of a warmer world less harmful. ____1____ In a paper published in Trends & Evolution, a team led by Sara Ryding, a PhD candidate at Deakin University, shows that is already happening. Climate change is already altering the bodies of many animal species, giving them bigger beaks (喙), legs and ears.In some species of Australian parrot, for instance, beak size has increased by between 4% and 10% since 1871. Another study, this time in North American dark-eyed juncos, another bird, found the same pattern. ____2____All that is perfectly consistent with evolutionary theory. “Allen’s rule”, named for Joel Asaph Allen, who suggested it in 1877, holds that warm-blooded animals in hot places tend to have larger body parts than those in temperate (温带的) regions. ____3____ Being richly filled with blood vessels, and not covered by feathers, beaks make an ideal place for birds to get rid of heat. Fennec foxes, meanwhile, which are native to the Sahara Desert, have strikingly large ears, especially compared with their Arctic cousins.Ms. Ryding is not the first researcher to take that approach. But it is hard, when dealing with individual species, to prove that climate change was the cause of an anatomical (解剖学的) changes. All sorts of other factors, from changes in prey to the evolving reproductive preferences of males or females, might have been driving the changes. ____4____ The team combined data from different species in different places. Since they have little in common apart from living on a warming planet, climate change is the most reasonable explanation.____5____ That may change as warming accelerates. Since any evolutionary adaptation comes with trade-offs (妥协), it is unclear how far the process might go. Bigger beaks might make feeding harder, for instance. Larger wings are heavier, and bigger legs cost more energy to grow. A．However, looking at the bigger picture makes the pattern clearer.B．For now, at least, the increase is small, never much more than 10%.C．Animals will have to rely on changing their bodies or their behaviors.D．It seems that the future world is going to be hotter than humans are used to. E．Therefore, the negative effects of a warmer world are visible in these animals’ bodies. F．Such adaptations boost an animal’s surface area relative to its body, helping it to release extra heat.G．Similar trends are seen in mammals, with species of mice and bats evolving bigger ears, legs and wings.In recent years the term “social distancing" has been at the center of public conversation. But it’s not “social” distance but physical separation that we are trying to promote. Preserving social ties — even at a distance — is essential for both mental and physical health.____6____ Modern technology has provided us with many tools. Not all tools promote social connection equally, however. And often such seemingly small choices can make a big difference between strengthening stronger social connections and giving in to growing social distance.____7____ When people overestimate the costs or underestimate the benefits of voice-based communication, it can create a misplaced bias (偏见) for text-based media. In one experiment, we tested whether the media through which people interact affect their sense of connection-and how expectations about certain technologies impact the communication media they choose to use. Although voice-based interactions (such as phone calls) can produce stronger connections, text-based media (such as e-mails) are often preferred.We asked participants to connect with someone that they hadn’t interacted with recently, either through e-mail or over the phone. ____8____ They generally assumed that they’d feel more connected when interacting over the phone than over e-mail. But they also predicted that talking on the phone could be more uncomfortable than dashing off an e-mail. Although these participants believed that talking encouraged stronger bonds, most of them said they’d rather send an e-mail than call the person up. Fears about awkwardness push individuals toward text-based methods for communicating.____9____Then we followed up with them after they had done so. As expected, we found that people did form meaningfully stronger bonds when interacting over the phone than overe-mail. More importantly, though, there was no difference in the amount of discomfort when reconnecting on the phone. The human voice appears to provide benefits for connection.Our work suggests that feelings of social connection are apparently facilitated by one’s voicerather than their keyboard.____10____A．So the next time you think about how best to connect, consider calling.B．We again had participants actually connect using either e-mail or phone.C．Participants first predicted what it would be like to get in touch in these two ways. D．When they interact on the phone, they find they are more connected than in real life. E．Those modes of communication are perfect choices at the time of physical distancing. F．Then how might we best stay connected to others while maintaining physical distance? G．Decisions on how to connect tend to be based on expectations of potential pros and cons of the interaction.We all want to make a great first impression, whether it’s meeting our new colleagues for the first time or getting to know people at a social event. ____11____First days can be stressful: Not only are you learning the ins and outs of your job role, but you are also learning the ropes about office culture, coworker personalities, and team interactions. ____12____ Whether it comes naturally or not, try to show friendliness and openness to everyone with whom you cross paths. Make an effort to introduce yourself to those around you, especially those you will be working closely with on a daily basis. Be kind to those around you, and show a real interest in learning about your new work environment. ____13________14____ What does that mean? Do not be scared by people who have worked at your company longer—go ahead and volunteer for projects and do your best to show your boss and team members that you are not only responsible, but eager to show what you can do. If there are any after-work events, be sure to attend.Some people work in a casual office atmosphere, where rules are a bit laid back. But even if you suspect this might be the case for your new workplace, the first day on the job is not the time to fully embrace the slack(懈怠). ____15____ That means keeping your cellphone on vibrate or silent and putting it away for the day. Avoid all personal calls and emails during work hours.And do not surf the internet for non-work-related tasks, even if you notice others doing so.As the newbie in the office, it’s ultimately your responsibility to learn the ropes about what’s expected in terms of dress, office culture, etc. But on your very first day, do everything you can to show your boss and colleagues you are a valuable part of the team.A．It is a lot to take in, but now is not the time to be shy.B．Initiative is the most important thing for a new employee to get started.C．Whether it’s fair or not, people make assumptions based on physical presentation.D．You are being held to a higher standard than those who have been at the company longer. E．The very first day of your very first professional job, however, may just be the defining moment.F．Instead, keep it extremely professional until you have gotten a chance to witness the culture firsthand.G．People will pick up on your genuineness, which will go a long way toward making a great first impression.Memorizing a speech in one night is not an easy task, but it’s possible. There are hundreds of different memorization techniques out there. ____16____Write out the entire speech. Simply take a piece of paper and a pen and write out the entire speech. ____17____ Many people memorize information better when they are actively recording it. Copying the speech on another piece of paper can help to commit that information to memory.____18____ Much like writing the speech out on paper, typing the speech can also help commit the information to memory through visual learning. Since typing is generally faster than handwriting, you may have more time to type the speech several times in one night. There is no need to print the typed speech each time that you type it. However, you may be more likely to remember things that are handwritten rather than typed.Rehearse your speech for a friend.____19____ It is important to practice the speech in front of someone to ensure that you really know the information. Request that your friend give you some tips. They may be able to tell you if you are not speaking loud enough or if you are talking too quickly.Record yourself rehearsing the speech. If you don’t have anyone to practice with, try recording yourself while you rehearse your speech. Video recording is the best because you will be able to watch the recording and critique your speech and body language.____20____ Avoid trying to memorize the speech word for word. Normally, it is not necessary to recite a speech word for word. It is more important to remember all of the topics that you need to coverduring the speech. Spend time memorizing the bullet points, important facts and statistics, and the layout of your speech in order to guarantee that you cover all of the information that needs to be covered.A．Type up the speech.B．Make a list of things that scare you about the speech.C．If the speech is relatively short, consider writing it out multiple times.D．However, the best method is the basic, tried-and-true strategy of repetition and practice.E．It is important to remember to take care of your body even when you are cramming for a presentation.F．You can also listen to the recording while you are doing other things to help remember the information.G．Sometimes you may think that you know your speech well, but you freeze up when you perform it in front of people.What exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? ____21____ For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say, “I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself.” In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie?Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. ____22____ Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of carrying out. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some day.____23____ It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now.” They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure.____24____Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris in his book Man Watching calls “the mouth cover”. He says there are several typical forms, such as covering part of the mouth with fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side of the mouth. ____25____ Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, or moving about in a chair cannot be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to occur more frequently in this situation. It is not one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things, and in particular the context in which the lie is told.A．However, this is only one side of the story.B．Or is it something worse than what it really is?C．A “white lie” appears to be a lie that the teller tells to profit or gain some advantage from it. D．The tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressure makes it itch (痒).E．Why people sometimes cover their mouths while lying is that they wish those words had not come out of their mouths.F．Such a gesture can be understood as an unconscious attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself or herself from lying.G．Research has also studied the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie.“Regards”. “Best wishes”. “Take care”. The words at the end of an email may seem unnecessary. ____26____ Even the most common “Sent from my iPhone” can tell that the sender has taken the time to reply although clearly not at their desk. Sign-off may just be a word or a short phrase, followed by your signature, and yet finding the right tone to close your email often requires a surprising amount of thought and skill.When you’re struggling with how to end an email, it’s best to consider the context (语境).____27____ Here are three of the most common email settings and the tried-and-true sign-offs that work best for each.Best wishes. ____28____ However, be aware of its greeting card vibe (氛围) and use it only when it fits well with the tone of your email.Cheers. A recent study by the email app Boomerang rated cheers as the most likely sign-off to get an email response. ____29____ Cheers works well if your email is friendly andconversational but, unless you’re actually British or Australian, it may come off as affected in more formal settings.Best. Best conveys best wishes in a cheerful, short and informal way. If you get a lot of emails, you know that nearly everyone uses this sign-off. ____30____Anyway, the appropriate sign-off depends on your position and your relation to the person who receives your email and the nature of exchange. Next time, take these factors into consideration and try the above sign-offs.A．However, the sign-off matters.B．Surprisingly, that isn’t a thank-you as most people assume.C．Being both friendly and formal makes this sign-off a safe bet.D．Actually, it’s the most important factor in choosing right words.E．What works for a close colleague won’t work with a distant acquaintance.F．You should always bear in mind that not all sign-offs convey certain messages.G．The disadvantage is that it can be dull if you want your message to be attention-getting.People often discuss the dangers of too much stress, but lately a very different view of stress is gaining popularity. ____31____ The positive stress movement is made up of people such as Zachary Rapp who are looking for an edge in a competitive world. He wakes up at dawn, goes for a run, sips black coffee while ripping through emails, and then steps into a freezing cold shower. This is a routine designed to reduce the stress of running three different companies for 18 hours a day.Although Rapp’s practices may sound extreme, he is one of a group of followers of a growing movement. ____32____ Inspired by influential figures in different fields, including entertainers, athletes, entrepreneurs and scientists, positive stress practitioners seek out some combination of extreme temperatures, restrictive diets, punishing exercise routines and general discomfort.Rapp argues that positive stress keeps him balanced. In addition to running and freezing showers, Rapp uses ice baths, hot yoga, and unconventional eating practices such as eliminating dairy, sugar, and various other foods high in carbohydrates. He believes that these practices, which put stress on his body, actually make him feel less stress from work. ____33____ It was he himself that started using these methods in college, where he got into the habit of taking ice bathsto recover from sports. He got back into it while trying to get his three companies off the ground.Rapp works long hours and sleeps only five to seven hours a night but he said he only gets sick once a year. ____34____One thought leader in the positive stress world is Dutch extreme athlete Wim Hof, who earned the name “ice man” for his ability to withstand severe cold using deep breathing exercises. Hof’s ideas have become popular among tech industry elites and, thanks to Hof, cold showers are now a trend. Indeed, some even call it a form of therapy.____35____ Some medical professionals argue that positive stress is not for everyone, and that it might even be dangerous for people who are unhealthy or older.A．Rapp’s routine is a good example of followers of the movement.B．This view of stress argues that stress might actually be beneficial.C．However, Rapp does not credit anyone in particular for his choices.D．But he thinks too much stress is harming his physical and mental health.E．But it is important to note that not everyone agrees with these practitioners.F．For him, positive stress involves pushing the body to extremes and forcing it to build up a tolerance.G．It consists largely of tech industry workers who claim that such radical tactics will help them live better and longer.In a perfect world, people would not test medicines on animals. Such experiments are stressful and sometimes painful for animals, and expensive and time-consuming for people.____36____ That is why there are some 50 to 100 million animals used in research around the world each year.____37____ Even so, its scientists use some 12 million animals a year, most of them mice and rats, for medical research. Official statistics show that just 1.1 million animals are used in research in America each year. But that is misleading. The American government does not think mice and rats are worth counting and, as these are the most common laboratory animals, the true figure is much higher. ____38____Now Europe is changing the rules governing animal experiments by limiting the number of animals used in labs. ____39____ In addition, sharing all research results freely should help to reduce the number of animals for scientific use. At present, scientists often share only the resultsof successful experiments. If their findings do not fit the hypothesis (假说) being tested, the work never sees the light of day. This practice means wasting time, money, and animals’ lives in endlessly repeating the failed experiments.Animal experimentation has taught humans a great deal and saved countless lives.____40____ Europe’s new measures should eventually both reduce the number of animals used in experiments and improve the way in which scientific research is done.A．They should be stopped.B．Lab animals are mainly used in developed countries.C．Japan has even less comprehensive data than America.D．It needs to continue, even if that means animals sometimes suffer.E．Europe, on the whole, has the world’s most restrictive laws on animal experiments.F．Yet animal experimentation is still needed to help bridge wide gaps in medical knowledge. G．Alternatives to animal testing, like using human tissue, are now strongly recommended.Technology is an amenity (舒适，便利) of modern life nowadays. However, hackers (黑客) are standing beside you! They manage to hack users’ account and steal sensitive data. Here are 4 top golden rules on how to be safe online.____41____.The research conducted in 2019 by The Harris Poll showed that 21% of respondents don’t update regularly the apps they use. ____42____. It is explained by the fact that new viruses appear every day. And the updates are meant to prevent them.Use unique passwords for your accounts.Unfortunately, 65% of people tend to use one password for several accounts, which increases security and privacy risk. It’s as dangerous as if one would use one key for a flat, car, office and strongbox. ____43____. To escape such threats, it’s strongly encouraged that you create passwords that would be difficult to guess.____44____.What if a man fails to access account or forgets the password? It won’t be a problem if he/she uses an additional account to renew the blocked one. Specify the backup address or phone number when registering.Backup your data.Sometimes it happens that accounts undergo hacking attacks despite the fact that all necessary precautions (预防措施) were taken. When this occurs, the safest way to get rid of the virus ware is to remove and reset the system. ____45____.A．Upgrade software on an ongoing basis.B．Create an account to renew access if necessary.C．It is vital for you to upgrade your software in your daily using.D．Once lost, this key might be used to get access to all your possessions.E．Thus, the only way to get access to your data is to restore the backup.F．However, the last software version is a must to be protected on the Internet.G．They thought one password is always more convenient for them to use in their daily life.Exploring PsychologyPsychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. Gaining a richer and deeper understanding of psychology can help people achieve insights into their own actions as well as a better understanding of other people. ____46____One important benefit from a psychology major is that it teaches the student about the human mind and why people act in various manners. Not all psychology majors will become psychologists. ____47____ All people must interact with others whether it is at home or at a workplace. People respond to these interactions in a wide number of ways. For instance, the person may not know why he or she is bothered by a specific action at work. However, the person who has studied psychology has an obvious advantage in this area.Psychology also offers the individual insight into himself or herself. As the person learns about the human mind, how it works and why people behave in specific manners, the person may also begin to recognize both harmful and helpful thought patterns in himself or herself.This may lead the person to an increased level of self-awareness. ____48____ It also shows the person where he or she possesses strength and crucial skills for the modern world. Individuals who are more self-aware are more likely to accomplish their goals and dreams.____49____ A person may enter a vast field where psychologists and those trained in psychology work. These areas include industrial psychology, school psychology, private practice, organizational behavioral fields, law enforcement and virtually every other field.____50____ As stated, there are a number of career opportunities from which a psychologymajor may choose.A．Self-awareness is a vital skill for any person to have.B．It shows the individual what areas the person needs to strengthen.C．As a result, psychology becomes an incredibly popular college major.D．A psychology major examines the science of human behavior and mental processes.E．All fields have the opportunity to benefit from the guidance that psychology can offer. F．The third reason why psychology is a useful major is that it opens up a wide range of career opportunities.G．However, all psychology majors will develop an increased awareness about human behavior and thought patterns.参考答案：1．C2．G3．F4．A5．B【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。
