一、高中英语任务型阅读

1.Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Screen Time: How Much Is Too Much?

Many children spend a lot of time watching or playing with electronic media—from televisions to video games, computers and other devices. ________ Perhaps parents now should ease up on their concerns about screen time, at least for older boys and girls.

Until last year, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggested that children and teenagers have no more than two hours of screen time a day. It also suggests that parents balance a child's screen time with other activities.

________ Christopher Ferguson, who teaches psychology at Stetson University in Florida, notes a lack of evidence supporting reports that too many hours spent playing video games or watching TV is truly harmful.

Ferguson seems interested in one idea: the link between video games and violent or risky behavior. When he saw results from a recent British survey on screen time, he wanted to know more. The British study found a small negative effect—about a one percent increase—in aggression and depression among children who had six or more hours of screen time a day. ________ So, Ferguson and his team examined answers from a survey on risky behaviors. The study involved about 6,000 boys and girls in Florida, whose average age was 16.

Data from this survey found that American children are also fairly resistant to the negative effects of electronic media. Among those who used screens up to six hours a day, the survey found: a 0.5 percent increase in criminal behavior; a 1.7 percent increase in signs of depression; and a 1.2 percent negative effect on school grades. ________ To further argue his point that screen time is not harmful, Ferguson adds that children should become familiar with screen technology. Electronic devices, he says, are a part of our everyday lives.

A. Some negative experiences on social media can and do affect some children.

B. However, some experts question claims that too much screen time is harmful.

C. He wanted to see if there was a similar effect among young people in the United States.

D. So, it is natural that parents should wonder about all the time children spend looking at a screen.

E. The researchers found no increase in risky sex or driving behaviors, use of illegal substances or eating disorders.

F. The researchers suggested that for those children, technology use might get in the way of taking part in other important activities.

【答案】 D;B;C;E

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,许多孩子花很多时间看或玩电子媒体——从电视到电子游戏、电脑和其他设备。美国儿科学会建议儿童和青少年每天看屏幕的时间不超过两个小时。一些专家质疑过多的屏幕时间是有害的,Stetson 大学心理学教授Christopher Ferguson指出,没有证据支持长时间玩电子游戏或看电视确实有害的说法。

(1)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Many children spend a lot of time

watching or playing with electronic media—from televisions to video games, computers and other devices.”可知许多孩子花很多时间看或玩电子媒体——从电视到电子游戏、电脑和其他设备。再根据空后“parents now should ease up on their concerns about screen time, at least for older boys and girls.”提到了父母对孩子长时间看电子产品的看法,可知本空是提出父母对孩子花在看屏幕上的时间感到好奇是很自然的。故选D。

(2)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“Christopher Ferguson, who teaches psychology at Stetson University in Florida, notes a lack of evidence supporting reports that too m any hours spent playing video games or watching TV is truly harmful.”Stetson 大学心理学教授Christopher Ferguson指出,没有证据支持长时间玩电子游戏或看电视确实有害的说法。因此可推测上文是提出"一些专家质疑过多的屏幕时间是有害的",故选B。

(3)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“The British study found a small negative effect—about a one percent increase—in aggression and depression among children who had six or more hours of screen time a day.”提到一项英国研究发现,在每天看电视时间超过6小时的儿童中,攻击性和抑郁会有一个小的负面影响——大约增加1%。因此他想看看在美国的年轻人中是否也有类似的影响。故选C。

(4)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Among those who used screens up to six hours a day, the survey found: a 0.5 percent increase in criminal behavior; a 1.7 percent increase in signs of depression; and a 1.2 percent negative effect on school grades. ”调查发现,在每天使用屏幕长达6小时的人群中,犯罪行为增加了0.5%;抑郁症的症状增加了1.7%;以及1.2%对学习成绩的负面影响。即下文继续列举长时间看屏幕对其他犯罪行为的影响,故E选项:研究人员发现,危险的性行为、驾驶行为、使用非法药物或饮食失调的情况没有增加。符合题意,故选E。

【点评】本题要求在理解细节信息的基础上,着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

2.阅读下列短文,按照要求用英文回答问题。

After we all came to the conclusion that our family could responsibly care for dog; my husband and I started our search at a local animal shelter.

We discovered a medium-sized male dog named Duke. This dog was a approximately only two years old and seemed to have the sweetest character. He looked at us through intelligent eyes and already knew how to fetch a ball. My husband and I immediately adopted him Duke quickly fit into our family's lifestyle. And he quickly learned the tricks like "sit", and "come".

But there was one skill that Duke could not seem to grasp---that of a watchdog. My husband was trying to teach him to remind us by giving a single warning bark when someone came into the yard. Duke would listen carefully to my husband's commands, but would cock (竖起)his head to one side in confusion and disappointment as if to tell his master that he just didn't understand what my husband was asking him to do. My husband would give his "watch" command. Duke would stand up---muscles tightened in readiness, but would not have a clue as to what he was in readiness for.

One morning we heard the garbage collectors come up the driveway to get our garbage.

My husband went to the open bedroom window so Duke could hear and see the men through

the screen.

"Watch" my husband commanded. Duke rose in readiness, looked at my husband as sudden comprehension dawned on him, gave a quick tail wave, and leaped through the window screen jumping happily out to greet the garbage men.

Seeing that, I couldn't help laughing. My laughter did nothing for my husbands mood when he found what was happening and he just went away to repair the screen with no expression on his face.

Duke brought our family so much fun. We never scolded or beat him. He was one of our family members.

(1)What was Duke like when the author adopted him? (no more than 10 words)

(2)What did the author's husband expect Duke to do as a watchdog? (no more than 15 words) (3)What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 5? (no more than 10 words) (4)How did the author and her husband feel about Duke's leaping through the window? (no more than 10 words)

(5)How do you think people should treat their pets? (no more than 20 words)

【答案】(1)It was medium-sized, young, sweet and intelligent.

(2)To remind them by giving a single warning bark when someone came into the yard.

(3)Suddenly Duke understood his master's command/intention/thoughts.

(4)The author was amused while her husband feet calm about it.

(5)I think people should love their pets and have fun with them instead of abusing them.

Or: I think people should love their pets and treat them as the family members.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者收养宠物狗Duke以后所发生的故事。

(1)考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“We discovered a medium-sized male dog named Duke. This dog was approximately only two years old and seemed to have the sweetest character. He looked at us through intelligen t eyes and already knew how to fetch a ball.”可知,当作者收养Duke时,他中等大小的身材、年轻、可爱且聪明。故答案为It was medium-sized,young, sweet and intelligent.

(2)考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“And he quickly learned the tricks like ‘sit’,‘stay’,and ‘come’”.和第三段中的“But there was one skill that Duke could not seem to grasp — that of a watchdog.”可知,Duke被作者的家庭收养后学会了“sit”,“stay”,“come” 和“be a watchdog”,故答案为Duke learned how to “sit”,“stay”,“come” and “be a watchdog”.

(3)考查词义猜测。根据第五段中的“gave a quick tail wave, and leaped through the window screen, jumping happily out to greet the garbage men.”它很快地摇了摇尾巴,从窗玻璃里跳出来,高兴地跳出来迎接收垃圾的人。可知,Duke突然明白了主人的命令/意图/想法。故答案为Suddenly Duke understood his master's command/intention/thoughts.

(4)考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“Seeing that, I couldn't help laughing. My laughter did nothing for my husband's mood when he found what was happening and he just went away to repair the screen with no expression on his face.”看到这,我忍不住笑了。当我丈夫发现发生的事情时,我的笑声并没有影响他的情绪,他只是离开去修理屏幕,脸上没有任何表情。可知,Duke从窗户跳出来时作者被逗乐了,而她的丈夫对此却感到很平静。故答案为

The author was amused while her husband felt calm about it.

(5)开放性试题。如何对待宠物?我认为人们应该爱他们的宠物,和他们一起玩,而不是虐待他们。

或者:我认为人们应该爱他们的宠物,把他们当作家庭成员。故答案为I think people should love their pets and have fun with them, instead of abusing them.Or: I think people should love their pets and treat them as the family members.

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断,词义猜测和开放试题四个题型的考查,是一篇故事类阅读,要求考生准确掌握所给材料,结合相关的语法知识和词汇知识,做出正确答案。

3.请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填1个单词。

Pretending you're someone else can make you creative

One great irony(讽刺) about our collective fascination with creativity is that we tend to frame it in uncreative ways. That is to say, most of us marry creativity to our concept of self: We are either "creative" people or we aren't, without much of a middle ground.

Pillay, a tech businessman and Harvard professor has spent a good part of his career destroying these ideas. Pillay believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to dismiss the conventional advice that urges you to "believe in yourself". In fact, you should do the exact opposite: believe you are someone else.

In a recent column for Harvard Business Review, Pillay pointed to a 2016 study showing the impact of stereotypes(刻板印象)on one's behavior. The authors, education psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar, divided their college student subjects into three categories, instructing the members of one group to think of themselves as "eccentric(古怪的) poets" and the members of another to imagine they were "rigid librarians" (people in the third category, the control group, were left alone for this part). The researchers then presented participants with 10 ordinary objects, including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one. Those who were asked to imagine themselves as "eccentric poets" came up with the widest range of ideas for the objects, while those in the "rigid librarian" group had the fewest. Meanwhile, the researchers found only small differences in students' creativity levels across academic majors—in fact, the physics majors inhabiting(寄生) the personas(伪装的外表) of "eccentric poets" came up with more ideas than the art majors did. These results, write Dumas and Dunbar, suggest that creativity is not an individual quality, but a "malleable(可塑的) product of context and perspective." Everyone can be creative, as long as they feel like creative people.

Pillay's work takes this a step further: He argues that identifying yourself with creativity is less powerful than the creative act of imagining you're somebody else. This exercise, which he calls "psychological halloweenism", refers to the conscious action of inhabiting another persona—an inner costuming of the self. It works because it is an act of "conscious unfocus", a way of positively stimulating the default mode(默认模式) network, a collection of brain regions that spring into action when you're not focused on a specific task or thought.

Most of us spend too much time worrying about two things: How successful/unsuccessful we are, and how little we're focusing on the task at hand. The former feeds the latter—an unfocused person is an unsuccessful one, we believe. Thus, we force ourselves into quiet areas, buy noise canceling headphones, and hate ourselves for taking breaks.

What makes Pillay's argument stand out is its healthy, forgiving realism: According to him, most people spend nearly half of their days in a state of "unfocus". This doesn't make us lazy people—it makes us human. The idea behind psychological halloweenism is: What if we stopped judging ourselves for our mental down time, and instead started using it? Putting this new idea on daydreaming means addressing two problems at once: You're making yourself more creative, and you're giving yourself permission to do something you'd otherwise feel guilty about. Imagining yourself in a new situation, or an entirely new identity, never felt so productive.

Title: Pretending you're someone else can make you creative

creativity;individual/personal;positively;subscribes;realistic/practical;forgive

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了假装你是别人会让你更有创造力。

(1)考查信息归纳。根据第一段中的“One great irony(讽刺) about our collective fascination with creativity is that we tend to frame it in uncreative ways.”可知,我们大多数人对自己要么有创造力要么没有创造力的想法印象深刻:两者之间不存在中间地带。故答案为

fascinated/impressed。

(2)考查信息归纳。根据第二段中的“Pillay believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to dism iss the conventional advice that urges you to ’believe in yourself‘. In fact, you should do the exact opposite: believe you are someone else.”可知,与普遍的看法相反,皮莱的建议是,你应该相信你是别人。故答案为Contrary。

(3)考查信息归纳。根据第三段中的“instructing the members of one group to think of the mselves as ’eccentric(古怪的) poets‘ and the members of another to imagine they were ’rigid librarians‘(people in the third category, the control group, were left alone for this part).”可知,其中一组被要求认为自己是“古怪的诗人”,另一组是“刻板的图书管理员”,第三组作为对照组。故答案为worked/acted/served/functioned。

(4)考查句义理解。根据第三段中的“The researchers then presented participants with 10 ordinary objects,including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one.”可知,前两组被要求为每个给定对象想出尽可能多的不同用途。故答案为given。

(5)考查句义理解。根据第三段中的“Meanwhile, the researchers found only small differences in students' creativity levels across academic majors—in fact, the physics majors inhabiting(寄生) the personas(伪装的外表) of ’eccentric poets‘ came up with more ideas than the a rt majors did.”可知,学生的创造力水平并不总是与专业类型成正比。故答案为creativity。

(6)考查原词复现。根据第四段中的“These results, write Dumas and Dunbar, suggest that creativity is not an individual quality, but a ’malleable(可塑的) product of context and perspective.‘”可知,因此,创造力可能是环境和视角的产物,而不是个人的东西。故答案为individual/personal。

(7)考查信息归纳。根据第五段中的”This exercise, which he calls “psychological halloweenism", refers to the conscious action of inhabiting another persona—an inner costuming of the self. It works because it is an act of ’conscious unfocus‘, a way of positively stimulating the default mode(默认模式) network.“可知,"psychological halloweenism"的实施是指通过积极刺激默认模式网络,有意识地成为他人的行为。故答案为positively。

(8)考查句义理解。根据最后一段中的”Pillay's work takes this a step further: He argues that identifying yourself with creativity is less powerful than the creative act of imagining you're somebody else.“可知,Pillay坚决支持把你想象成别人的观点,并建议我们不要担心自己有多成功或不成功。故答案为subscribes。

(9)考查概括总结。根据右栏内容可知这里在讲述“演习的现实意义”。故答案为realistic/practical。

(10)考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的”You're making yourself more creative, and you're giving yourself permission to do something you'd otherwise feel guilty about. Imagining yourself in a new situation, or an entirely new identity, never felt so productive.“可知,我们完全有权利原谅自己注意力不集中,因为这不仅是人性的表现,而且还能让我们更有创造力和富有成效。故答案为forgive。

【点评】本题考点涉及信息归纳,句义理解,原词复现,概括总结和推理判断五个题型的

考查,是一篇教育类阅读,要求考生准确掌握所给材料,结合相关的语法知识和词汇知识,做出正确答案。

If you're a gamer who's constantly glued to your phone, it could be time to ask for medical help. On June 18, 2018, the World Health Organization(WHO)officially listed “gaming disorder” as a mental health condition. ________

“Video gaming is like a non-financial kind of gambling(赌博)from a psychological point of view,” Mark Griffiths, a professor from Nottingham Trent Uni versity in the UK, told the Associated Press(AP). “Gamblers use money as a way of keeping score, while gamers use points.”

________“People need to understand this doesn't mean every child who spends hours in their room playing games is an addict, otherwise doctors are going to be flooded with requests for help,” Joan Harvey, a spokeswoman for the British Psychological Society, told AP.

________ For example, a 21-year-old Chinese woman surnamed Wu in Guangdong province went blind in one eye after pla ying the mobile game King of Glory for a whole day. “On days when I have no work, I usually get up at 6 am, eat breakfast and play until 4 pm,” she told the South China Morning Post. “Then I'll eat something, have a nap(小睡)and play until 1 am.”

Wu isn't alone. According to a study published by China Youth Daily, about one in five young Chinese people play online video games for at least four to five hours per day. ________ In April, the Ministry of Education issued a notice asking Chinese schools and parents to prevent students from becoming addicted to the Internet and games.

Other countries have also taken action. ________ Meanwhile, in Japan, some mobile phones have a special mode for children that lets their parents control what games they can download and how long they can play.

A. This means it's now on the same list as other mental illnesses.

B. Thankfully, measures have been taken to deal with the problem.

C. We often see people around us playing games on their mobile phones.

D. In South Korea, children are forbidden to play video games after midnight.

5.Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Shanghai Hengyuanxiang Drama Development Company and Netherlander Worldwide Entertainment signed a deal last November that would see Shimmer (《犹太人在上海》) become the first Chinese musical to have an open-ended run on Broadway in 2019. ________

Directed by Xu Jun, Shimmer is a musical in both English and Chinese. Shimmer, which tells a story about Jews who fled to Shanghai to escape Nazi persecution (迫害) during World War II, was first shown at the Shanghai Culture Square in 2015. ________ The musical's scheduled open-ended run in 2019 will be one of the events to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. With this play being shown on Broadway, the ties between Chinese people and Americans will be firmly strengthened. And through this drama, the audience can feel the charm of Chinese culture.

________ To deal with the problem, many production companies in Shanghai have pointed out that they should keep striving for improvement by creating more Chinese musicals and by creating more audiences. Currently, those who watch Western musicals in China are limited to a small group — people who have received a university education or have had overseas working experiences, white-collar and even gold-collar workers. There are only a handful of people who understand foreign languages and you have to find a way to motivate the public and get them

into the theater.

________ There has been a handful of successful musical stories in Shanghai. The Chinese editions of Broadway musicals Cats and Mamma Mia, both of which had hundreds of shows across China, are among the top box office hits.

A. What do you think we can do to prevent Chinese musicals from declining in popularity?

B. At that time, the musical was chosen as the opening show for the 17th China Shanghai International Arts Festival.

C. The box office is expected to be twice higher than that of last year, reaching $1 million in total.

D. The small audience size hasn't discouraged local artists from producing outstanding works.

E. The deal is a milestone for Shimmer in its goal to further spread its influence to the world.

F. Despite the huge success of Shimmer, the team is facing a limited market.

【答案】 E;B;F;D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍恒元翔戏剧发展公司将《犹太人在上海》推向国际舞台,尽管获得可巨大的成功,但很多制作公司自身发展,面临着观众少,市场狭窄的问题,与此同当地艺术家仍然在不断创作优秀作品。

(1)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Shanghai Hengyuanxiang Drama Development Company and Netherlander Worldwide Entertainment signed a deal last November that would see Shimmer (《犹太人在上海》) become the first Chinese musical to have an open-ended run on Broadway in 2019.”可知,上海恒元翔戏剧发展公司和尼德兰全球娱乐公司去年11月签署了一项协议,将使《犹太人在上海》成为中国第一部在2019年在百老汇公开上映的音乐剧。所以小题1要说明这项协议给《犹太人在上海》带来的影响和意义。E. The deal is a milestone for Shimmer in its goal to further spread its influence to the world.“该协议是《犹太人在上海》进一步将其影响力扩大到世界的目标的一个里程碑”符合题意。故选E。

(2)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“The musical's scheduled open-ended run in 2019 will be one of the events to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and United States”可知,这部音乐剧定于2019年公开上映,将是庆祝中美建交40周年的活动之一。《犹太人在上海》不是第一次上映,所以判断出小题2要说明它在2015年因为什么而上映的。B. At that time, the musical was chosen as the opening show for the 17th China Shanghai International Arts Festival.“当时,这部音乐剧被选为第十七届中国上海国际艺术节的开幕式上表演。”符合题意。故选B。

(3)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。由第三段的内容可知,第三段主要介绍了上海的许多制作公司通过创作更多的中国音乐剧和吸引更多的观众来不断努力改进自己的作品,以及观众群体的局限性。这都说明尽管《犹太人在上海》取得了巨大的成功,但团队仍面临着有限的市场。所以判断出小题3是本段的标题。F. Despite the huge success of Shimmer, the team is facing a limited market.“尽管《犹太人在上海》取得了巨大的成功,但团队仍面临着有限的市场”为本段的标题。故选F。

(4)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“there has been a handful of successful musical stories in Shanghai. The Chinese editions of Broadway musicals Cats and Mamma Mia, both of which had hundreds of shows across China, are among the top box office

hits. ”可知上海有一些成功的音乐故事。百老汇音乐剧《猫》和《妈妈咪呀》的中国版在中国各地都有数百场演出,都是票房冠军。所以这里具体列举了很多百老汇音乐剧的中国版都取得了不错的票房,意在说明观众人数少并没有妨碍当地艺术家创作优秀作品。所以此处要起到总说的作用,然后在进行解释说明。 D. The small audience size hasn't discouraged local artists from producing outstanding works.“观众人数少并没有妨碍当地艺术家创作优秀作品”符合句意。故选D。

【点评】本题要求在理解细节信息的基础上,着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

6.阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Yellow Robot deliver snacks to your home

A robot makes its way back to a supermarket after making a delivery during a demonstration in Beijing.

Along a street on the outer edges of Beijing, a yellow and black cube about the size of a small washing machine mo ves leisurely to its destination. This “little yellow horse” is a delivery robot, transporting daily essentials like drinks, fruit and snacks from the local store to the residents. Equipped with GPS system, cameras and radar, the robot is seen by its creator as the future of logistics(物流) in China.

“The weak point is that it can't deliver directly to the door like a human.” said one customer, who does not live on the ground floor. “But it is still quite practical. The robot delivers relatively quickly.”

The robot takes off for Chinese customers' love of cashless payments and smartphone shopping. China is the world's biggest online shopping market with more than half of its population making at least one smartphone purchase per month, according to professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers. Whether buying electronics, toilet paper or clothes, Chinese customers are used to simply tapping a button on their smartphone and getting a home delivery.

To get a delivery via the “little yellow horse”, customers select the desired products, tap in the address and pay via their phone. Then, the supermarket staff place the items in the robot.

Liu Zhiyong, founder and CEO of Zhen Robotics, which manufactures the robot, sees a bright future for his crea tion. “At the moment, there are 100 million packages delivered every day in China. It will be one billion in the future,” Liu said. “ There will not be enough humans to make the deliveries. We need more and more robots to fill this gap and reduce costs.” T hese costs are especially high in the last kilometer of a delivery.

(1)What is the yellow robot equipped with? (no more than 8 words)

(2)What is the weak point of the yellow robot? (no more than 12 words)

(3)Why is the robot popular with Chinese people? (no more than 12 words)

(4)What does the underlined word “manufactures” mean in the passage? (no more than 1 words)

(5)What do you think of the invention of the yellow robot? Why? (no more than 20words) 【答案】(1)GPS system, cameras and radar.

(2)It can't deliver directly to the door like a human.

(3)Because of Chinese customers' love of cashless payments and smartphone shopping./Because Chinese customers love cashless payments and smartphone shopping.

(4)Invents; Creates; Produces;(形式不对减一分)

(5)It is very helpful. Because the robot can replace humans to make the delivers and the robot can reduce costs.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了黄色的快递机器人以及它的市场前景。(1)考查信息提升能力。根据第二段中的“Equipped with GPS system, cameras and radar, the robot is seen by its creator as the future of logistics(物流) in China.”可知黄色的机器人装备有GPS系统,摄像头和雷达,所以填GPS system, cameras and radar。

(2)考查信息提升能力。根据第三段中的“‘The weak point is that it can't deliver directly to the door like a human.’said one customer, who does not live on the ground floor.”可知黄色机器人的缺点是它不能像人一样直接送货上门,所以填It can't deliver directly to the door like a human。

(3)考查信息提升能力。根据第四段中的“The robot takes off for Chinese customers' love of cashless payments and smartphone shopping.”可知机器人在中国很受欢迎是因为中国消费者喜欢无现金支付和智能手机购物,所以填Because of Chinese customers' love of cashless payments and smartphone shopping./Because Chinese customers love cashless payments and smartphone shopping。

(4)考查信息提升能力。上文“Liu Zhiyong, founder and CEO of Zhen Robotics”甄机器人创始人兼CEO刘志勇,由此推断出下文which manufactures the robot, sees a bright future for his creation.的意思是他制造了这款机器人,看到了他的创造的光明前景。manufacture意思是发明创造,这里含有一个定语从句,Liu Zhiyong是先行词,关系词替代先行词,定语从句中,主语是第三人称单数,谓语动词需要用单数,所以填Invents; Creates; Produces。(5)考查信息提升能力。题干询问你觉得黄色机器人的发明怎么样?为什么?同学们根据自己的想法,自由作答。

【点评】本题涉及考查信息提升能力,要求考生准确掌握所给材料,根据上下文的逻辑关系,结合相关的语法知识和词汇知识,做出正确答案。

7.任务型阅读

This time of year, thousands of college applicants wait for e-notices and auspiciously(吉利地) sized envelopes from schools, under terrible pressure from their parents, friends, teachers, and themselves. As to this, I offer some advice, which comes not only from a bit of experience, but also a bit of research: just cool out and continue, okay?

Many parents and students think there is a world of difference between the lifelong outcomes of an A-minus student who gets into, say. Princeton, and an A-minus student who applies to Princeton but "only" gets into some less selective school, like Penn State or the University of Wisconsin. They assume that a decision made by faceless Ivy League admissions officers, to some extent, will mark the difference between success and failure in life.

There are two important things to say about this stress. First, to put the anxiety into context, the kids applying to these schools are already doing quite well. Seventy percent of 29--year--olds

don't have a bachelor's degree, and the majority of BAs are earned at non-selective schools that accept a majority of their applicants. Many of the applicants have already won life's lottery.

But if that doesn't ease the nerves of the 40,000 people waiting on Stanford or Penn, here is a more encouraging conclusion from economics. For most applicants, it doesn't matter if they don't get into their top choice, according to a paper by Stacy Dale, a mathematician at Mathematica Policy Research, and Alan Krueger, an economist at Princeton University. They tracked two groups of students——-one that attended college in the 1970s and the other in the early 1990s. They wanted to know:Did students attending the most elite colleges earn more in their 30s. 40s. and 50s than students with similar SAT scores, who were rejected by elite colleges? The short answer was no. Or, in the author's language, the difference between the students who went to super-selective schools and the students with similar SAT scores rejected by those schools and went to less selective institutions was "indistinguishable from zero."

What does that mean? It means that, for many students, "who you are" is more important than where you go. It's hard to show that highly selective colleges add much earning power, even with their distinguished professors and professional networks. In addition, the decision of admissions officers isn't as important as the sum of the decisions, habits, and relationships students have built up to this point in their young life.

For the elite colleges themselves, the Dale-Krueger paper had additional, fascinating findings. It's found that the most selective schools do make an extraordinary difference in life earning for minority students from less--educated families who are more likely to rely on colleges to provide the training and job networks with great influence. Getting into Princeton if your parents went to Princeton? Fine, although not a game-changer. But getting into Princeton if your parents both left community college after a year? That could be game-changing. Whatever the results, it's more important to choose a university that is suited to the college applicants.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,对等待通知书而焦虑的人,作者提出的一些建议。许多家长和学生认为,一个进入大学的学生的终身成绩之间存在着差异,但在后来的研究调查中显示,对于许多学生来说,“你是谁”比你去哪里更重要。但是无论如何,选择一所适合的大学对申请者而言更为重要。

(1)考查信息理解,根据第一段中的“under terrible pressure from their parents, friends, teachers, and themselves.”在父母,朋友,老师和他们自己的巨大压力下。可知大学申请者在等待入学决定时往往感到压力,故填stressed/pressured。

(2)考查信息理解。根据第一段中的“As to this, I offer some advice, which comes not only from a bit of experience,but also a bit of research: just cool out and continue, okay?”对此,我提出了一些建议,这些建议不仅仅来自于一些经验, 但也有一些研究:冷静下来,继续,好吗?carry on=continue,故填on。

(3)考查信息概括。第二段是人们对此问题的设想,因此填 assumption。

(4)考查信息转换。根据第二段中的“ They assume that a decision made by faceless Ivy League admissions officers, to some extent, will mark the difference between success and failure in life.”,可知人们普遍的一个误解是他们所上的学校会决定生活中的成功或失败。故填 decided/determined。

(5)考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“the kids applying to these schools are already doing quite well.”以及“Many of the applicants have already won life's lottery.”可知,申请顶尖大学的人其实在自己的人生中已经成功了一半,故填applying。

(6)考查信息转换。根据第四段中的“Did students attending the most elite colleges earn more in their 30s. 40s. and 50s than students with similar SAT scores, who were rejected by elite colleges?”上精英大学的学生在30多岁,40多岁和50对岁的时候比有相似的SAT成绩,被精英大学拒绝的学生挣的钱多吗?reject=turn down,故填down。

(7)考查信息转换。根据第五段中的“It means that, for many students, ‘who you are’is more i mportant than where you go.”可知,学生的个人品质比他们去哪上大学更重要,故填Personal/Individual。

(8)考查信息转换。根据第五段中的“In addition, the decision of admissions officers isn't as important as the sum of the decisions, habits, and relationships students have built up to this point in t heir young life.”另外,招生官员的决定并不像学生们在他们的年轻生活中已经建立起的决定,习惯和人际关系的总和那么重要,可知什么也没有比学生获得社交和解决问题的能力重要,故填Nothing。

(9)考查信息转换。根据第六段中的“It's found that the most selective schools do make an extraordinary difference in life earning for minority students from less-educated families who are more likely to rely on colleges to provide the training and job networks with great influence”可知,择优录取的大学对家庭受教育水平较低的少数学生的生活收入有显著影响。此处形容词作定语,故填 influential。

(10)考查信息理解。根据最后一段中的“ Whatever the results, it's more important to choose a univers ity that is suited to the college applicants.”不管结果如何,更重要的是选择一所适合申请人的大学。可知填fit。

Fear of missing out

It's Friday night. While many of your friends may celebrate by going to the movies or checking out a restaurant that's just opened, you've decided to spend this highly cherished night of the week by yourself. The night is yours to enjoy. If you think this sounds relaxing, you're not alone. At least for a little while until you start wondering if you've made the right choice. A doubt begins sinking in as you imagine the fun your friends are having in your absence. Suddenly, the quiet evening you planned for yourself begins to lose its initial appeal, and you find your excitement quickly turns to anxiety.

Fear of missing out, or FOMO, is a common feeling. A recent study defined FOMO as “the uneasy and sometimes all-consuming feeling that you're missing out — your peers are doing or in possession of more or something better than you.

Fear of missing out often develops as a result of deeper unhappiness. Research has found that those with low levels of general life satisfaction are more likely to experience FOMO. Further worsening the all- too-common feeling is the rise of social media use. Active users of social media have a higher probability of comparing their achievements with others'. Rather than finding happiness through their own experiences, they begin worrying that theirs aren't objectively better than anyone else's.

The consequences of FOMO are significant and far-reaching. One study conducted with first-year university students found that fear of missing out was associated with fatigue(疲劳), stress, and sleep problems. Furthermore, in a 2018 study of 1,045 Americans aged 18-34, nearly 40% of participants admitted going into debt just to keep up with their friends' lifestyles, often through increased spending on food, travel, clothes, and electronics.

So how can you overcome the fear? Begin with gratitude. By reflecting on what you already have, you're less likely to put valuable mental energy in worrying about what you don't. Another alternative?

Embrace(欣然接受) JOMO, or the joy of missing out. JOMO allows you to shift your focus to what you really want at any given moment, without feeling concerned about what those around you may be doing. So, turn off your phones and tablets, and engage in something you enjoy while resisting the urge to upload and share it. While this may take practice and perseverance(坚持不懈), the results are well worth the effort.

By embracing the joy of missing out, you make room for all the benefits that come from spending time with yourself and the inner wholeness you contain; you create space to keep up with the things you wish you had more time for — gardening, reading, resting, exercising, cooking, learning, or simply being; and you see yourself in new ways and unearth the talents, fears, joys and quirks that lie beneath the surface.

borrow;grateful/thankful;focusing;know/understand

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了FOMO“害怕错过”以及产生的原因,结果,克服它的方法。并介绍了JOMO“错失的快乐”的益处。

(1)考查提取信息的能力。根据第二段中的“A recent study defined FOMO as “the uneasy and sometimes all-consuming feeling that you're missing out —your peers are doing or in possession of more or something better than you.”可知,最近的一项研究将“FOMO ”定义为“一种不安的、有时是全神贯注的感觉。你正在错过你的同龄人正在做或拥有比你更多或更好的东西。”所以空处填absent. 填absent。

(2)考查提取信息的能力。根据第一段中的“A doubt begins sinking in as you imagine the fun your friends are having in your absence”可知,当你想象你的朋友们在你不在的时候玩得多么开心时,你开始产生怀疑。所以空处填doubts. 故填doubts。

9.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。

Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month.________

One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. ________ 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 between neurons (神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day.________

Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right.________ 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. ________ "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. That's why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.

D. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.

E. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.

F. Tononi's team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.

G. "Sleep is the price we pay for learning," says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.

【答案】D;C;G;F;B

【解析】文章大意:这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了睡觉对神经元的影响。

(1)考查细节理解。根据上一句的When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. 实验室的小老鼠若不让它睡觉,它不到一个月就死了,可知,D项“同样,人若几天不睡觉就会生病。”最切题。故答案选D。

(2)考查细节理解。结合上文提到睡眠帮助我们加强记忆,而C项中说“这就是为什么学生在学习之后有机会睡一觉的话,考试的成绩会更好。”由此可知,C项最切题。故答案选C。

(3)考查推理判断。结合上文,上文提及的是一个理论,选项G中的“Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea. 朱莉奥是提出这个理论的人”正好呼应,故答案选G。

(4)考查推理判断。根据下文可知,老鼠在睡眠结束时,突触会变小18%,表明睡眠时神经元会变弱,F项“托诺尼的团队测量了12只老鼠的大脑”与下文最呼应,故答案选F。(5)细节理解。根据上文讲述神经元虽然会变弱,但有些神经元会保持不变,再结合下文说,你记住了最重要的事,由此可知,B项“大脑似乎会保护最重要的记忆”与上下文的衔接最好。故答案选B。

【点评】七选五题型解题技巧:在答题中,应首先略读一下短文,了解一下短文的大致意思,然后把几个选项含义理解透,尤其注意意思相近,表达有交叉的选项之间的区别。然后再细读短文,把答案填入合适位置。答题时可以把含义相近的几个选项轮流填入同一处位置,反复阅读,反复体会,找出最佳选项,对于实在没有把握的小题可以留待最后完成。完成短文后,再认真通读一遍全文,看看上下语意是否通顺,是否符合逻辑关系。

10.Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

College graduation eventually means taking much of your attention in your first job search. This process can be challenging, especially for those students who had thought very carefully about their chosen major and their potential career path—or those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career he eventually got. If you are in one of these groups, fear not! ________

Some majors are tied directly to specific career fields. For example, if you wish to become a teacher, you will likely have needed to complete an education program and eventually sit for a

licensing exam. The same applies to majors in nursing. If you did not complete an acceptable nursing program, you won't be able to take the nursing licensing exam. ________

Other majors, however, are closely related to career paths but don't necessarily require a degree in the area. For example, students who majored in finance, math, or statistics may also have the necessary skills to be hired as an accountant.

Hopefully, as a college student, you were able to do more than just attend classes and read your course books. Your non-academic experiences can be very influential on your future career as well. Did you work during college, volunteer, or participate in a club or organization?

________ If you volunteered with a non-profit organization such as a homeless or domestic violence shelter, seek out positions in social services related to case management or victim advocacy. You may qualify for a position regardless of your major.

Although it often seems like your college major alone determines your career fate, this just isn't the case. ________ If you don't know what career options to consider based on your major, talk to your faculty or academic advisor. You may be surprised at what opportunities await!

A. If so, and if you enjoyed these activities, seek out related careers.

B. In these cases, successfully completing a specific major is crucial to landing a job in the matching field.

C. Graduating from a university with an excellent major and practical ability will surely make you more competitive.

D. It may influence it, but there are other factors that influence your career options as well.

E. The more you learn about workforce market, the better you'll know the importance of a desired major.

F. Although your major and coursework are relevant to landing a job, they are not the only deciding factors.

【答案】 F;B;A;D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇以论文,大学生毕业后找工作很具有挑战性。尤其是那些对所选专业及其可能选择的职业非常在意的学生,或者那些所学专业与他最终获得的具体职业没有直接联系的学生。尽管你所学的专业和课程与所找的工作有关,但并不是唯一的决定因素,决定你的职业不只是你大学所学的专业,还有其他因素也会影响你的职业选择。(1)考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空前“ This process can be challenging, especially for those students who had thought very carefully about their chosen major and their potential career path—or those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career he eventually got. If you are in one of these groups, fear not!”找工作是个挑战,尤其对于那些所学的专业与他最终要做的职业没有直接联系的学生。如果你是这些团体中的一员,不要害怕,可知对于这样的一群人来说不害怕是因为"所学的专业和课程并不是唯一的找工作的决定因素",F. Although your major and coursework are relevant to landing a job, they are not the only deciding factors.“尽管你的专业和课程与找工作有关,但它们并不是唯一的决定因素”符合题意,故选F。

(2)考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空前"Some majors are tied directly to specific career fields."可知,有些专业直接与特定的职业领域联系在一起。以及“ If you did not complete an acceptable nursing program, you won't be able to take the nursing

licensing exam.”如果没有护理专业的无法参加护理许可考试。在这种情况下,成功完成某个专业对于找到相匹配领域的工作至关重要", B. In these cases, successfully completing a specific major is crucial to landing a job in the matching field.“在这些情况下,成功完成某个专业对于在匹配领域找到工作至关重要”与此段的意义也是一致的。可知B项符合题意,故选B。

(3)考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。前面两段内容"然而,其他专业与选择的职业密切相关,但不一定需要该领域的学位。你的非学术经历也会对你未来的职业生涯产生很大影响,如志愿者活动等。如果喜欢这些活动的话,可寻找与之相关的职业。" A. If so, and if you enjoyed these activities, seek out related careers.“如果是这样,如果你喜欢这些活动,寻找与之相关的职业”符合题意,故选A。

(4)考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空前“ Although it often seems like your college major alone determines your career fate, this just isn't the case.”"虽然看起来你的大学专业似乎决定你的职业命运,但事实并非如此。"根据转折连词although可知,与你的专业无关的其他因素也会影响你的职业选择的。 D. It may influence it, but there are other factors that influence your career options as well.“它可能会影响你的职业选择,但也有其他因素会影响你的职业选择”符合题意,故选D。

【点评】本题要求在理解细节信息的基础上,着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

11.阅读下列短文并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词,每空格1词。

A 2014 study found that readers of a short mystery story on a Kindle were significantly worse at remembering the order of events than those who read the same story in paperback.

The brain reads by constructing a mental representation of the text based on the placement of the page in the book and the word on the page. The tactile (触觉的) experience of a book aids this process, from the thickness of the pages in your hands as you progress through the story to the placement of a word on the page.

Surveys about the use of e-readers suggests that this affects a reader's sense of control. The inability to turn back to previous pages or control the text physically, either through making written notes or bending pages, limits one's sensory experience and thus reduces long-term memory of the text.

Before the Internet, the brain read in a linear (线状的) fashion, taking advantage of sensory details to remember where key information was in the book by layout.

As we increasingly read on screens, our reading habits have adapted to skim a text rather than really absorb its meaning. A 2006 study found that people read on screens in a "F" pattern, reading the entire top line but then only scanning through the text along the left side of the page. This sort of nonlinear reading reduces comprehension and actually makes it more difficult to focus the next time you sit down with a longer piece of text.

Tufts University neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf worries that "the superficial way we read during the day is affecting us when we have to read with more in-depth processing." Individuals are increasingly finding it difficult to sit down and involve themselves deeply in a novel. As a result,

some researchers and literature-lovers have started a "slow reading" movement, as a way to counteract their difficulty making it through a book.

Slow-reading advocates recommend at least 30 to 45 minutes of daily reading away from the distractions of modern technology. By doing so, the brain can reengage with linear reading. The benefits of making slow reading a regular habit are numerous, reducing stress and improving your ability to concentrate.

Reading an old-fashioned novel is also linked to improving sleep. When many of us spend our days in front of screens, it can be hard to signal to our body that it's time to sleep. By reading a paper book about an hour before bed, your brain enters a new zone, distinct from that enacted by reading on an e-reader.

miss;easy /easier;stressed /anxious /worried;sleep

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了阅读纸质书籍有助于对书内容的理解,对比了阅读纸质书籍和电子书籍这两种阅读习惯,说明了慢读和阅读纸质书籍的好处。

(1)考查信息归纳。根据第一段"A 2014 study found that readers of a short mystery story on a Kindle were significantly worse at remembering the order of events than those who read the same story in paperback.”;以及第二段“The brain reads by constructing a mental representation of the text based on the placement of the page in the book and the word on the page.

2016高考英语任务型阅读答题技巧

2016高考英语任务型阅读答题技巧 任务型阅读是高考英语试题中第二卷中的一种题型,分值为10分。本题型在测试考生阅读理解能力的基础上,侧重考查考生的单词拼写、词性转换、句式转换、段落归纳等综合能力。高考任务型阅读近三年文章体裁以议论文和说明文为主,词数在400~550之间。高考成绩的统计数据表明在这一项上,考生普遍失分较多。高考英语任务型阅读是英语阅读理解和完形填空的结合体,在掌握篇章表层含义的基础之上,还要求对文章结构框架的把握。考生不但要具备基本的英语词汇知识,而且要能够依据上下文的内容,运用逻辑判断,正确填出任务型阅读中的空白处。因而,任务型阅读对考生的英语阅读和对英语学科的感悟能力要求较高。也就是说,任务型阅读不仅检查考生的词、句、篇的掌握,而且涉及考生综合运用英语语法的能力。所以说,这种题型是比较全面的考查。学生在平时的学习过程中,要关注词汇的使用,领悟篇章的内部结构,同时还要注意词的搭配和语用知识。 一、任务型阅读题型的考查角度 1、单词的大小写(信息筛选题) 考生往往从文中便可直接找到答案,无需进行词性和词形的转化。但是如果没有根据英文首字母要大写的要求,或在特殊的上下文中。忽略字母的大小写,便无法得到本应该拿到的分数。 2、词性的变化(整合转换题) 要依据特定的语境结合文中涉及的词语,灵活地转变词性。比如:动词转变为形容词,形容词转变为名词,等等。 3、词形的转化(整合转换题) 主要依据任务型阅读提供的特殊框架,来敲定词语的各种形式。例如:文中过去式需要在题目中使用现在时,同时还要注意人称和数的变化。 4、近义词与反义词的转化(整合转换题) 根据任务型阅读题型中提供的已有信息,尽管文中也能发现相关的词语,却没能依据特定的语境进行必要的词语的转换,比如将肯定的语气转化为否定的形式等。 5、实现词句的转换(整合转换题) 尽管文章无法一下子找到任务型阅读题型中出现的答案,但是依据文章的上下文以及文中句子的解释,则可以联系掌握的英语基础知识,得出相应的答案。 6、综合概括文章框架的词语使用(综合概括题) 注意文章的整体布局,理清句与句之间,段与段之间的内在逻辑关系,反复阅读文章,认真思考,然后找出能代表篇章结构的词汇。这类题目要求考生对全文或段落进行总体语篇把握,通过观察表格的设置特点,从而归纳和概括出所考查的单词。此类设题一般位于表格的第一行或第一列。为了更快捷地掌握概括能力,总结和熟记一些概括性词汇及其固定搭配也是很有必要的。 7、书写工整无误 最后,卷面是否清洁也会影响到考生最终的得分。答案书写要工整清晰,避免由于字迹潦草或拼写错误导致失分。完成题目后,一定要仔细的将答案带入题中,结合文中提供的信息,认真核对,反复思考,确保绝不因为自己的粗心大意而失分。 二、任务型阅读题型的解题思路 1、先认真读题,通过题目来了解文章的大致框架。做到在阅读文章前,心中有数,不会因为文章的长度或文中出现的生词影响到自己对文章结构的整体把握。 2、利用快速阅读策略做出判断。自己理解的文章主旨是否与题目中的要求一致。在这一过程中,可以尽可能填出与文章大意相关的词汇。

高考英语作文专项训练任务型写作(11)

2009年高考英语作文专项训练:任务型写作(11) 1. 阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 Doctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that angry feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm, reasonable way. Others burst with anger, losing control of themselves. But still other people control their anger. They cannot or will not express it. Recently some doctors have found that people who express anger too often and violently become, in fact, more and not less angry. This can cause medical problems. Some doctors say that both controlling and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who deep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. ” [写作内容] 1)概括短文的内容要点,该部分的字数大约30词左右; 2)就“要不要生气”这个主题发表你的看法,至少包含以下的内容要点,该部分字数大约120词左右; a)发脾气不但不利于健康,而且对人际关系有影响; b)避免因误解而造成的生气; c)理性的对待别人的错误。 [写作要求] 你可以使用实例或其它论述方法支持你的论点,也可以参照阅读材料的内容,但不要抄袭阅读材料中的句子。

高考英语作文专项训练任务型写作(15)

2009年高考英语作文专项训练:任务型写作(15) 1. 阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 Students should think now about what extracurricular (课外的) activities they'd like to participate in. Participating in extracurricular activities may help you deepen your physical, creative, social, political, and career interests by bringing you into communication with other like-minded people you didn’t previously know. You can join groups as a way to get support from other students. A club or group can also be a great way to meet people who are different from you. Lots of youth programs bring people together with those who are different as a way to break down the barriers between people. Participating in extracurricular activities helps you in other ways, too. It looks good on college and job applications and shows admissions officers and employers you're well-rounded and responsible. Specific activities help with specific goals. The most basic reason for joining a club or team is that it gives you something better to do than staring at the wall, wandering the hall, or sleeping all afternoon. People who are participating are less likely to pick up bad habits, like smoking or drinking.

一、高中英语任务型阅读 1.请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 Decoding the young brain There was a funny experiment to see how a young child would answer a specific question compared to an adult. After the adult had spent some time speaking with the child, he asked the child, “What do you think about me?” The child answered, “You talk too much.” When the adult performed the same experiment with another adult, the reply to the same question was, “I think you're a very interesting person.” Even if the adult f elt the same way as the child, his brain allowed him to take a moment,consider the question, and come up with an answer. He could have been annoyed, but his answer didn't reflect it because he was being polite. The secret lies in the science of the developing brain. The child's honest answer was reflected in the fact that his brain wasn't equipped to filter(过滤) information before answering the question. As a result, he was honest, but he said something that may have been hurtful. However, the child did not intentionally hurt the adult; it's just the way his brain works. As a child grows into adolescence and then into adulthood, that changes. The human brain is made up of billions of neurons(神经元). In order for our body to execute a command, like getting up from a chair and walking to the other room, the neurons in the brain have to communicate with each other. They also help us employ our senses like taste and touch and help us remember things. When the neurons send messages, perhaps one sensation(感觉) the person feels is excitement about eating a cookie because it is so delicious. Later, if that person smells a cookie or hears someone talking about a cookie, it can spark the electrical signals that call up the memory of eating the delicious cookie. In an adult, he or she may remember that eating too many cookies can have consequences, like weight gain. But because the younger brain is more impulsive(冲动的), the desire to feel the pleasure of the sweet treat outweighs the consequences. That is becau se when a child is young, his brain is “wired” in such a way that he seeks pleasure and is more willing to take risks than an adult. This affects his decision-making process and it is why younger people tend to be more impulsive. Sometimes parents have to tell their children over and over again before the child remembers that something is dangerous or risky. How many times have we heard a parent say, “I tell her this all the time, but she never listens!” To conclude, what we know about the young brain is that children are more likely than adults to be impulsive. It isn't always necessarily because they are being naughty; it may very well be because of their brains. So the next time you ask a child what he really thinks of you, be prepared for any kind of answer.

一、高中英语任务型阅读 1.任务型阅读 Aside from the health benefits of laughter (which are numerous and significant), having a sense of humor about life's difficulties can provide a way to bond with others, look at things in a different way, normalize your experience, and keep things from appearing too overwhelming or scary. Properly developed, a good sense of humor can keep people and relationships strong. Studies show that having a smile on your face can make you feel better, and can lead you to actually feeling happier (rather than just looking happier). Even if the smile is fake, the benefits you will experience are real! Also, a fake smile leads readily to a genuine one. If you are able to put a smile on your face, the laughter will come more easily, and the stress will melt more easily. If your situation seems ridiculously frustrating, recognize what can develop into humor in just how ridiculously frustrating and annoying it is. In your imagination, take the situation to an extreme that becomes even more ridiculous until you find yourself amused. For example, when you're waiting in a long line at the store, you can imagine that hours pass, then days, visualizing yourself accepting visits from loved ones from your new home in this ultra-long line, holding your children's birthday parties in aisle seven so you can be there to enjoy them...you get the picture. Besides, find a friend with whom you can laugh also works! You can each share your frustrations, and laugh about them in the process. Even when your friend isn't there, you can feel less stressed by thinking about the retelling that will come later. You can have a “most annoying boss” game with your friends, or try to count how many times the same potentially frustrating event happens in a day.(“I was cut off in traffic 7 times today—I'm almost up to 10!”) This works well for predictable or repetitive annoying situations that you can't control; you can begin to value them in their own special way instead of letting them upset you. One of the factors that drive the popularity of shows like Modern Family or movies like the classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off, is that they take somewhat universal situations that many people find frustrating and push them a little further, pointing out the silliness of it all. What's more, you can try joining Funny Clubs.Years ago, when Oprah had a show rather than a network, she did a part on Laughter Yoga that interested me, and I researched a club on my own, finding it to be a terrific place to enjoy a good laugh. Whether you mean business or laugh at the silliness of it all, taking part in the exercises of laughter yoga with other humor-participants can be a very effective way to get back in the practice of getting some more laughter into your day.
