The Most Direct Solution to Any ProblemWhen trying to solve various problems in life, an approach I find very useful is to first identify what I’d consider the most direct solution, regardless of how I feel about actually implementing (实施) it. What is the clearest, most direct path to my goal or the most efficient way to get around an obstacle?Many problems will have multiple direct solutions, but often these solutions will be unpleasant at first glance because they’ll require courage, self-discipline, creativity, or persistence to implement. 1For example, suppose you want to lose weight. And suppose we can say that one of direct solutions is to eat the same as you’re eating now and increase your exercise output by 500 calories a day. 2 It may require discipline and persistence, but most people would agree that it will work if you follow through.Another example: 3 However, you don’t know how that person feels about you. One direct solution would be to simply walk up, explain your thoughts and feelings, and ask if she or he is interested in discussing the possibility of a closer relationship. This will take less than a minute to say, and whatever the outcome is, at least you know where you stand. 4 Anyhow it’s very simple and straightforward.5 What’s the simplest and quickest way to reach y our goal, assuming that you had limitless courage and discipline?A. Of course this solution may require a lot of courage to overcome the possibility of rejection.B. But if we can get ourselves to follow through, we know the solutions will actually work.C. See if you can identify the most direct solution to some of your problems.D. So the best way to overcome the difficulty is to ask your friends for advice.E. If you implement this rather simple solution, you’ll lose weight.F. Suppose you’re interested in starting a relationship with someone.G.

吉林省普通高中联考2023-2024学年高二上学期期末考试英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.Recite and repeat in conversation.When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other person to recite and repeat.You can let othe r people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.Admit you don’t know.Admi tting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”Use associations.Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng —tall, black hair.” To reinforce (加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That’s fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others — an automatic review for you.1．How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?A. They will be moved.B. They will be annoyed.C. They will be delighted.D. They will be discouraged.2．To reinforce the association you made between the person and something interesting, youA. write them downB. say it to yourself several timesC. go early to partiesD. spell and pronounce the name correctly 3．What does the text mainly tell us?A. Tips on an important social skill.B. Importance of attending parties.C. How to make use of associations.D. How to recite and repeat names.Culture shock is a broad term for a series of personal difficulties that people go through in new places ant is usually most extreme for those who can not speak the language of the place they have moved to or for those who aren’t familiar with the social rules. Both of these things applied to me in China when I moved there in 2011. So, naturally I went through the full well-known stages of culture shock: the honeymoon, frustration, adjustment and acceptance.When I arrived I was excited and optimistic but I quickly became annoyed by cultural differences, missing how things worked back home.By the end of my first year I had totally lost my self confidence and I became a bit clumsy and sensitive person and I thought it was China that made me that way.Then in my second year I started to pick up some language skills and I found fun activities to do in my spare time. I made great foreign and Chinese friends and later I developed an interest in Chinese history and culture. Based on the above I learned to consider myself a confident and happy foreigner.Today I’m back in the US where I’m pursuing a PhD at university in my hometown. It’sculture shock, experiencing the four stages in the opposite order.I’d complain loudly about the little things like I could no longer shout “ fu wu yuan” to get a waiter’s attention in a restaurant. But eventually I came to realize that my home had become an entirely new place when I was away. That, by itself ,was exciting.4．Which stage of culture shock does paragraph 3 mainly describe?A. The honeymoon.B. Frustration .C. Adjustment.D. Acceptance.5．Which least help the author ease his culture shock in China ?A. Making local friends.B. Joining in fun activities.C. Attending history courses.D. Learning the Chinese language.6．What does the underlined word “reverse” mean?A. exchanging the position completely.B. changing the previous decision.C. stopping having a particular position.D. changing the order of something around.7．What can we learn about the author according to the last paragraph?A. He began to feel that life in the US was boring.B. He wished to call “fu wu yuan” in a restaurant.C. He was unable to accept American life.D. He needed to adjust himself to his native life.Macinley Buston was just sixteen years old when she first had the idea to try and protect women from a modern necessary radiation during breast cancer treatments and now her invention could be a game changer in the medical field.Buston whose father works in medical physics has always been interested in science but she only began researching the harmful side effects of radiation treatments after her father discussed his experience with ineffective cancer treatments in his work. Since Buston had also recently lost a relative to breast cancer, she felt inspired to conduct her own research on the subjects. She tried to begin her medical research by consulting scientific journals but she found their academic terms almost impossible to understand.She then turned to the Internet to find videos that taught how to read scientific journals asbeen shown to be effective at protecting skin from radiation. An idea hit this Australian teen as she was viewing the film on medieval wars in her tenth grade history class. When she saw the scaled patterns of the mail(盔甲), she was inspired to create a wearable protective tool out of copper. She then headed back online and watched the videos on how to put together tiny scales. She made her own flexible scale mail, which she now calls SMART: Scale Mail For Radiation Therapy.When her invention was tested in a laboratory setting it reduced a surface exposure to unnecessary radiation by seventy five per cent and now Buston is working on getting her SMART into clinical settings for use.8．Why did Macinley Buston start her research?A. To assist her father with his work.B. To save her relative from cancer.C. To publish some articles in journeys.D. To protect patients in cancer treatment.9．What does the underlined phrase “stumbled upon” in paragraph three probably mean? A. came across B. missed C. passed on D. required10．Where Macinley Buston get inspiration for her invention?A. Videos online.B. Scientific journals.C. History textbooks.D. Soldiers’ defensive clothes.11．Which of the following best describes Macinley Buston ?A. Stubborn.B. Creative.C. Selfless.D. Considerate. Questions 32-40 are based on Reading Passage D below.Giving your brain a workoutMental agility does not have to decline with age, as long as you keep exercising your mind, says Anna van Praagh.A. Use your brain and it will grow — it really will. This is the message from neuropsychologist Ian Robertson, professor of psychology at Trinity College, Dublin and founding director of the university's Institute of Neuroscience. His book, Puzzler Brain Trainer 90-Day Workout, contains puzzles which he devised to stretch, sharpen and stimulate the brain. The puzzles, from ‘memory jogs’ to Sudoku to cr osswords to number games areall-encompassing, and have been specially formulated to improve each and every part of the brain, from visual-spatial ability to perception, attention, memory, numerical agility, problem-solving and language.B. Professor Robertson has been studying the brain for 57 years, in a career dedicated to changing and improving the way it works. During this time there has been a remarkable paradigm shift in the way scientists view the brain, he says. “When I first starte d teaching and researching, a very pessimistic view prevailed that, from the age of three or four, we were continually losing brain cells and that the stocks couldn't be replenished. That has turned out to be factually wrong. Now that we know that the brai n is “plastic” — it changes, adapts and is physically sharpened according to the experiences it has.”C. Robertson likens our minds to trees in a park with branches spreading out, connecting and intertwining, with connections increasing in direct correlation to usage. He says that the‘eureka’ moment in his career —and the reason he devised his ‘brain trainer’ puzzles — was the realisation that the connections multiply with use and so it is possible to boost and improve our mental functions at any age.Now we know that it's not just children whosebrains are “plastic”,he says. ‘No matter how old we are, our brains are physically changed by what we do and what we think.’D. Robertson illustrates his point by referring to Dr Eleanor McGuire's seminal 2000 study of the brains of London taxi drivers. That showed that their grey matter enlarges and adapts to help them build up a detailed mental map of the city. Brain scans revealed that the drivers had a much larger hippocampus (the part of the brain associated with navigation in birds and animals) compared with other people. Crucially, it grew larger the longer they spent doing their job. Similarly, there is strong statistical evidence that, by stretching the mind with games and puzzles, brainpower is increased. Conversely, if we do not stimulate our minds and keep the connections robust and intact, these connections will weaken and physically diminish. A more recent survey suggested that a 20-minute problem-solving session on the Nintendo DS game called ‘Dr Kawashima's Brain Training’ at the beginning of each day dramatically improved pupils' test results, class attendance and behaviour. Astonishingly, pupils who used the Nintendo trainer saw their test scores rise by 50 per cent more than those who did not.E. Robertson's puzzles have been designed to have the same effect on the brain, the only difference being that, for his, you need only a pencil to get started. The idea is to shake the brain out of lazy habits and train it to start functioning at its optimum level. It is Robertson's belief that people who tackle the puzzles will see a dramatic improvement in their daily lives as the brain increases its ability across a broad spectrum. They should see an improvement in everything, from remembering people's names at parties to increased attention span, mental agility, creativity and energy.F. ‘Many of us are terrified of numbers,’ he says, ‘or under-confident with words. With practice, and by gently increasing the difficulty of the exercises, these puzzles will help people improve capacity across a whole range of mental domains.’ The wonderful thing is that the puzzles take just five minutes, but are the mental equivalent of doing a jog or going to the gym. ‘In the same way that physical exercise is good for you, so is keeping your brain stimulated,’ Robertson says.‘Quite simply, those who keep themselves mentally challenged function significantly better mentally than those who do not.’G. he puzzles are aimed at all ages. Robertson says that some old people are so stimulated that they hardly need to exercise their brains further, while some young people hardly use theirs at all and are therefore in dire need of a workout. He does concede, however, that whereas most young people are constantly forced to learn, there is a tendency in later life to retreat into a comfort zone where it is easier to avoid doing things that are mentally challenging. He compares this with becoming physically inactive, and warns of comparablerepercussions.‘As the population ages, people are going to have to stay mentally active longer,’ he counsels. ‘We must learn to exercise our brains just as much as our bodies. People need to be aware that they have the most complex entity known to man between their ears,’he continues, ‘and the key to allow it to grow and be healthy is simply to keep it stimulated.’12．Which TWO of the following are claims that Roberson makes about the puzzles in his book?A. They will improve every mental skill.B. They are better than other kinds of mental exercise.C. Th ey will have a major effect on people’s mental abilities.D.

2020-2021学年吉林省吉林市某校高二（上）期末英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共4小题；每小题6分，满分30分）1. Nice Places in America◆ The Doaks' House in Waterford, Ohio the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two candies.In the small town of Waterford, Ohio, one local household stands out. One fall Saturday every other year or so, Roger and Shirley Doak open their doors for family, friends and strangers. Since the 1960s, they've turned a day devoted to making apple butter into an all﹣day event. They start the fire at dawn, then take turns stirring it, and have a buffet until sunset. By the end of the day, they've created apple butter together.◆ Pflugerville High School, TexasIn a school of about 2, 300 people, students love each other, regardless of race or ability.Perhaps the school spirit comes from events like Pay It Forward Day, which rewards students for kindness or the Coats for Kids Drive, a competition challenging schools to donate the most coats﹣which Pflugerville has won for the past six years.◆ Oriole Park in Baltimore , MarylandSure, Oriole Park in Baltimore, Maryland, is a fun place to watch a baseball game with a family. Butthis stadium goes beyond rooting for the home team; it also roots for acts of kindness. During weekend games, one of the nicest students to catch our eye was a middle school boy named Thomas Moore who grew his hair long enough to donate it to children with cancer.◆ Rock Hall , MarylandThe sign to Rock Hall, Maryland, should be your first mark that you'll be welcomed. It shows off the town's motto, "Nice People Live Here." And they aren't just empty words. Takea walk around the town and you'll see so many kind waves that strangers must think they've been mistaken for someone else.（1）What can you do when you attend the event in the town of Waterford， Ohio？________ A Donate clothes to strangers. B Make your favorite apple juice. C Experience the friendly school life. D Watch local people making apple butter.．（2）What can we learn about the people in Rock Hall ， Maryland？________A They are easily mistaken in remembering people.B They often ignorestrangers. C They are friendly. D They like walking around the town with strangers.．（3）Which of the following is the most suitable place to enjoy a sports game？________A Oriole Park in Baltimore， Maryland.B Pflugerville High School， Texas.C The Doaks' House in Waterford， Ohio.D Rock Hall， Maryland.．2. Recently, a scientist did some experiments. He left a group of 4﹣year﹣olds in a room with a bell and acandy. If they rang the bell, he would come back and they could eat the candy. If, however, they didn't ring the bell and waited for him to come back on hisown, they could then have two candies.In the videos of the experiments, he could see the children hiding their eyes, trying toexerciseself﹣control so they could wait and get two candies. The results were different. Some ________ and rang the bell within a minute. Others lasted 15 minutes.The children who waited longer went on to get higher SAT scores. They got into better colleges and had better adult success. The children who rang the bell quicker were more likely to have received worse teachers and parental evaluations（评价）10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.The experiments are worth noting because people spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve education, and how to become rich. But when the result is not good, they will come back to ask "How do we get people to get the sort of self﹣control that leads to success? " This is to enter the world of human nature.So these experiments, along with everyday experience, tell us that self﹣control is very important. Young people who can sit through boring classes to get a degree can work hard in order to learn a language well. They can avoid drugs and alcohol. For people without self﹣control skills, however, school is a series of ordeals. No wonder they drop out and their later life is a group of foolish ideas, such as drug use and stealing.（1）What is the purpose of these experiments by the scientist？________A To find good ways of training children to learn.B To show that children's education is important.C To test children's self﹣control and later success.D To test children's intelligence of ringing the bell.．（2）What do the underlined words "broke down" probably mean？________A Failed to wait.B Kept waiting.C Hid the candy.D Ate the candy.．（3）How long did the scientist's experiments last according to the text？________A Just 15 minutes.B Within 10 years.C Less than 14 years.D About 28 years.．（4）What will the children without self﹣control do at school according to the text？________A They will improve their education.B They will suffer a lot from boringlessons. C They will become very rich and successful. D They will work hard to catch up with others.．3. Do you want to find a job that you just need to sit and sleep on a sofa? It is ridiculous, but it happens. 26﹣year﹣old Anna Cherdantseva from the city of Ufa, is a full﹣time sofa tester, spending up to 10 hours every day trying out new sofas for comfort and safety.Last month, Russian furniture giant MZ5 Group announced that it was taking application for a new position﹣﹣﹣full﹣time sofa tester. Although all new products are tested in a specialized laboratory, management decided that in order to better meet the needs of consumers it needed some ________ on real﹣life use of its sofas. In just a few days, MZ5 received over 5, 000 job applications from people eager to spend most of their time sitting and lying on sofas."We were selecting candidates in several stages, " MZ5 Group spokesperson Anastasia Russkih said, "Initially we checked their resumes, and then we let them tell us why theywanted the job." Eventually, the furniture company shortlisted just 7 candidates, among whom Anna Cherdantseva, a 26﹣year﹣old marketing expert, proved to be the most suitable for the job."I felt extreme competition, and it was a real fight for my dream job, " Anna said after getting selected. "I have a lot of ideas for improving the sofas, but I would prefer not to talk about them for now. I believe it will all work out between me and the sofas."Despite describing herself as an active person, Cherdantseva says that spending about 10 hours a day sitting on sofas doesn't sound bad at all. "Of course I will spend a lot of time on new sofas. The more time I spend on them, the better it will be for my work, " she told reporters.Anna Cherdantseva is currently on a three﹣month probation（试用期）at MZ5, but the company claims that as long as she proves to be up to the task, they plan on offering her a permanent position as a sofa tester. The young woman will receive a monthly salary of56, 000 rubles （＄1, 000）for the first three months. It's not so bad about the job.（1）Why did MZ5 Group want a sofa tester？________A Because it wants to save money by doing that.B Because it wants to satisfy its consumers better.C Because Anna Cherdantseva applied for the job.D Because its products need to be tested.．（2）What does the underlined word "feedback" in Paragraph 2 mean？________A Products.B Consumers.C Praise.D Response.．（3）What does Anna Cherdantseva think of getting the job？________A It was very easy.B It was controversial.C It was challenging.D It was interesting.．（4）What can be inferred from the text？________A Anna Cherdantseva has the chance to work steadily for MZ5.B The company found it difficult to find suitable employees.C The company doesn't give Anna Cherdantseva a good salary now.D Anna Cherdantseva got the job because of her similar work experience.．4. Brazilian cocoa growers are learning lessons from French wine makers.Like producers of wine from France's Champagne area, Brazil's chocolate industry is using geographical indication, or GI labels with good results. These labels show where the cocoa comes from and its quality. The special labels can lead to higher prices on the market.Henrique Almeida is the 63﹣year﹣old owner of a farm in Coaraci, in the northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia. He is pleased with the "South Bahia" geographical indication for his cocoa. "The production of fine cocoa and the creation of the geographical indication label make it possible to have a profitable business and pull our region upwards, " Almeida said. For many years, farmers in Bahia had produced common cocoa, used widely in the chocolate industry. But in 1989, an outbreak of "witches' broom" disease sharply reduced the productivity of Bahia's cocoa trees. These trees make up to 86 percent of Brazil's national crop. At the time, Almeida, like other producers in southern Bahia, chose to improve thequality of his crop in order to be able to continue growing."When I bought the farm, standard cocoa prices were low, and cocoa farmers were unmotivated（无动机的）, while the chocolate market was doing well, " he told the French news agency AFP. "I started growing fine cocoa to make my own chocolate and add value to my product."The label is the result of 10 years of work by Almeida and other cocoa producers, as well as cooperatives and researchers. Together, they created the South Bahia Cocoa Association to define（定义）production rules. The National Institute of Industrial Property registered the GI 6 years after the first registered GI.The "South Bahia" label is the second GI given to Brazilian cocoa. The Linhares region in the state of Espirito Santo was the first GI to be registered in 2012. Tome﹣Acu in the northeastern state of Para became the third in 2019.（1）What might be a result of witches' broom in 1989？________A Many cocoa trees in Brazil died.B Cocoa became quite expensive.C Farmers started to grow fine cocoa.D Chocolate industry had to use common cocoa.．（2）When was the "South Bahia" labeled？________A In 2012.B In 2014.C In 2016.D In 2018.．（3）What might happen to Brazilian cocoa in the future？________A A national cocoa association may appear quickly.B Common cocoa may disappear soon.C Cocoa farmers may apply for more GI labels.D Cocoa prices will be higher and higher.．（4）What's the main idea of the text？________A Brazil's cocoa industry benefits from GI labels.B Brazil's cocoa farmers are learning to make French wine.C GI labels are making higher profits for Brazil's cocoafarmers. D Better Brazil's cocoa trees will bring finer Brazil's cocoa.．第二节（共1小题；每小题10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.5.Four Habits to Help You SucceedNobody would like to experience failure.
