B卷——大题提能练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2021·惠州调研)When students got their textbooks at the beginning of the year at San Mateo High School, they also received the Yondr pouch (口袋), a locking device for their phones. The phone slides into it and gets locked through a magnetic (磁力的) device. It's not unlocked again until the final bell rings. The procedure will repeat every day for the rest of the school year.
Adam Gelb, the vice president, ran a pilot project last year with 20 students and decided to do a school wide, bell to bell program for this school year. The Yondr pouch is a start up in San Francisco with a mission to create phone free spaces, something that is the very thought with Gelb.
“I really think it's about being present and engaging in the adult that's trying to teach you, and your peers that might be in your small group. That's part of the main philosophy that we're trying to spread，” he said.
Brad Friedman, another teacher at the school, said he was becoming concerned with overuse of phones at school. He said he often saw students completely lost in their phones, some not socializing at all with other students.
This week, he's already seeing the difference. “Everyone else was socializing and eating lunch together. That's what I wasn't seeing enough of when phone usage is at its worst，” he said.
A senior at San Mateo High School named Djelani Phillips Diop said he definitely panicked at first when he heard he had to lock his phone. “I panicked, I guess. Last year when we had phones, I was using it every day，” he said.
In case of emergency, every classroom has the unlocking device. Teachers still have access to their own cellphones and desk phones. “We've gotten all 1，700 students unlocked with a matter of minutes，” said Gelb.
We spoke to four students who, despite their initial panic, agreed that a phone free school experience has its benefits.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一所中学在新学期发放课本的同时也发给学生一个用来锁手机的袋子——Yondr口袋，以此来限制学生在校过度使用手机，逐渐把学生的注意力从手机屏幕转移到更有意义的校园活动和社交上来。
1．What can we learn about the Yondr pouch from paragraph 1
A．It is a device to lock phones.
B．It is a bell to unlock phones.
C．It is a device to be used for a year.
D．It is a phone intended for students.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“they also received the Yondr pouch (口袋), a locking device for their phones”可知Yondr口袋是一个用来锁手机的设备，故选A。
2．The Yondr pouch is used more in Gelb's school to ________．
A．create space to use phones freely
B．help the students to be more outgoing
C．encourage more mutual communication among students
D．help the students to realize the harm of overuse of phones
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段引用的副校长(这项创新举措的设计者之一)的原话可知，在学校推广Yondr口袋的目的是不让学生使用手机，而使其专注于参与老师或小组的活动；第五段也提到，没有手机在手，学生们能相互交流、共进午餐，大家愿意参与校园社交了，情况发生了很大的变化，故选C。
3．What is Friedman's attitude to the use of the Yondr pouch
A．Concerned. B．Favorable.
C．Disapproving. D．Doubtful.
B 解析：观点态度题。根据第四段、第五段可知，布莱德·弗里德曼看到了使用Yondr口袋前后学生的变化——很多人从沉溺于手机到积极参与社交，校内氛围好了很多，由此推断出他对这种变化是满意的。favorable意为“赞成的、赞许的”，符合题意，故选B。
4．What can be learned from the passage
A．The students were willing to have their phones locked at first.
B．The phone will get unlocked automatically when there is an emergency.
C．Students prefer eating lunch together with their phones in hand.
D．Some students came to realize the benefits of the phone free program.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可推知，有一部分学生从最初的恐慌、抵触逐渐转变，最终意识到“无手机校园”的好处，D项中“came to realize the benefits”很好地表达了学生态度的前后变化，且内容契合原文，故选D。

(2021·北京海淀区一模)There is certainly evidence that actors experience a blending of their real self with their assumed characters. For instance, Benedict Cumberbatch said, “My mum says I'm much more impatient with her when I'm filming Sherlock.”
Mark Seton, a researcher at the University of Sydney, has even coined the term “post dramatic stress disorder” to describe the lasting effects experienced by actors who lose themselves in a role. “Actors may often prolong habits of the characters they have embodied，” he writes.
A recent finding doesn't involve acting, and it indicates that merely spending some time thinking about another person seemed to rub_off on the volunteers' sense of self, led by Meghan Meyer at Princeton University. Across several studies, these researchers asked volunteers to first rate their own personalities, memories or physical attributes, and then to perform the same task from the perspective of another person. For instance, they might score the emotionality of various personal memories, and then rate how a friend or relative would have experienced those same events.
After taking the perspective of another, the volunteers scored themselves once again: the consistent finding was that their self knowledge was now changed—their self scores had shifted to become more similar to those they'd given for someone else. For instance, if they had initially said the trait term “confident” was only moderately related to themselves and then rated the term as being strongly related to a friend's personality, when they came to rescore themselves, they now tended to see themselves as more confident. Remarkably, this morphing of the self with another was still apparent even if a 24 hour gap was left between taking someone else's perspective and re rating oneself.
“By simply thinking about another person, we may adapt ourselves to taking the shape of that person，” said Meyer and her colleagues. That our sense of self should have this quality might be a little discouraging, especially for anyone who has struggled to establish a firm sense of identity. Yet there is an optimistic message here, too. The challenge of improving ourselves—or at least seeing ourselves in a more positive light—might be a little easier than we thought. By roleplaying or acting out the kind of person we would like to become, or merely by thinking about and spending time with people who embody the kind of attributes we would like to see in ourselves, we can find that our sense of self changes in desirable ways.
“As each of us chooses who to befriend, who to model, and who to ignore，” write Meyer and her colleagues, “we must make these decisions aware of how they shape not only the fabric of our social networks, but even our sense of who we are.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章以演员们的“戏剧后应激障碍”为导入，以科学研究为基础，讲述了角色扮演对个人自我意识和行为的影响和塑造，通过对自我意识的积极影响，人们能提升自己。
5．The first two paragraphs mainly ________．
A．state that acting requires skills
B．explain the stress that an actor faces
C．show that a role leaves a mark on the actor
D．stress the importance of devoting oneself to a role
C 解析：段落大意题。根据第一段中的“There is certainly evidence that actors experience a blending of their real self with their assumed characters.”和第二段中的“Actors may often prolong habits of the characters they have embodied”可知，前两段向读者表明：一个角色在演员身上留下了印记。故选C。
6．What does the underlined phrase “rub off” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Influence. B．Strengthen.
C．Confuse. D．Determine.
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“A recent finding doesn't involve acting, and it indicates that merely spending some time thinking about another person seemed to rub off on the volunteers' sense of self, led by Meghan Meyer at Princeton University.”和第四段中的“Remarkably, this morphing of the self with another was still apparent even if a 24 hour gap was left between taking someone else's perspective and re rating oneself.”可知，仅仅花时间去思考另一人都会影响自我意识，此处rub off意为“影响”。故选A。
7．According to the study, taking the perspective of another person ________．
A．brings changes to one's self knowledge
B．motivates one to better understand himself
C．helps people deal with their identity problems
D．produces temporary effects on one's character
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Remarkably, this morphing of the self with another was still apparent even if a 24 hour gap was left between taking someone else's perspective and re rating oneself.”可知，接受别人的观点会给自我认识带来变化。故选A。
8．What is the significance of the study
A．It offers instructions on making friends.
B．It proposes a means to improve ourselves.
C．It gives advice on adjusting one's emotions.
D．It presents a way to deal with stress disorder.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Yet there is an optimistic message here, too...we can find that our sense of self changes in desirable ways.”和最后一段可知，在社交活动中通过角色扮演或表现出我们想成为的那种人，人们的自我意识能得到积极地改善，说明研究的重要性在于它提出了一种提升我们自己的方法。故选B。
C
Journalism wasn't on my radar until I was looking at colleges to apply to during my junior year in high school. As I thought about what my passions were, I kept thinking back to my likes of writing and watching the nightly news and also my desire to know everything about everything. So a decision was finally made.
Now as a junior in college with one semester to go, I realize that journalism is so much more than writing and broadcasting the facts about certain things. We have a right to know what's going on in our country! We have a right to know what's going on in our country! Journalists have a duty to keep the masses informed and uphold the whole thing that people love to spew out(涌出). Sure, information can go astray (误入歧途), and there are some news outlets that will put a different spin on stories. But it's all a matter of how we, the public, perceive the news.
On a deeper level, a journalist's duty should also be to tell the stories of people who don't have the opportunity to do so alone. Think about it: What stories do people empathize with most It's the stories where people who have gone through something tough or traumatic are put front in center that do the best, and for a good reason. Journalists have a responsibility to the public by not just informing them, but also giving them a chance to talk about real issues that have an effect on them.
And that is the reason why I want to become a journalist. I want to give a voice to the people who feel like they have no voice at all. I want to be able to tell the stories that often go unheard or often get ignored. And I hope that my fellow journalism students realize that they have the power to do so as well, no matter what sort of journalism they go into.
We are more than journalists.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在大学里学的是新闻专业，他表达了自己对于记者责任的看法。

A．Journalism is a career involving hardship and suffering.
B．Many people are indifferent to the things around them.
C．We should learn to distinguish true and false news.
D．The masses should have strong faith in journalists.
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的最后两句内容可知，新闻有时会有不同的报道，会让消息误入歧途，所以我们应该学会辨别真假新闻。
11．According to the author, people are most likely to sympathize with those ________．
A．having an effect on other people's life
B．having a chance to talk about their suffering
C．reporting others' stories with their own suffering

Journalists have a responsibility to the public by not just informing them, but also giving them a chance to talk about real issues that have an effect on them.
And that is the reason why I want to become a journalist. I want to give a voice to the people who feel like they have no voice at all. I want to be able to tell the stories that often go unheard or often get ignored. And I hope that my fellow journalism students realize that they have the power to do so as well, no matter what sort of journalism they go into.
We are more than journalists.
