三、阅读理解(共15小题:A、B篇每小题2分;C篇每小题1分,满分25分)
A
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people under lockdown(禁闭) feel lonely and bored. “There is a loneliness epidemic,” said John Dattilo from Pennsylvania State University, US.
So he, together with an international team of researchers (研究者), studied how to reduce loneliness and increase(增强) positive feelings during the pandemic.
According to their new study, reduced loneliness has something to do with doing enjoyable activities that need both concentration(注意力) and skill.
“When people are absorbed in(全神贯注于) what they are doing, they enter a state(状态)called ‘flow’,” Dattilo explained. “Flow can be achieved by doing activities that we think they are important and that need us to concentrate fully to use our skills.”
To achieve a state of flow, there must be a balance between the challenge(挑战) of the task and your skill level. For example, if you're trying to create a complex(复杂的)computer program but your skill level is low, then you're likely to feel worried instead of achieving “low”. On the contrary(相反地), if the task is too easy, then boredom will set in and you won't have a state of “flow”, either.
If you have artistic skills, for example, playing the piano or painting can lead to flow. So can things like skiing,writing and storytelling, depending on who you are.
“When we enter a state of flow, we become absorbed and focused, and we experience momentary enjoyment,” Dattilo said. “When we leave a state of flow, we are often surprised by how much time has passed.”
However, watching television usually doesn't help people enter flow, according to Dattilo, because there aren't any challenges.
“People tend to thrive(茁壮成长) on healthy activities and challenges,” said Dattilo. “We hope this research will help people live fuller, happier, healthier lives.”
( )1.What did Dattilo study
A.Why people feel lonely. B.How people reduce loneliness.
C.What enjoyable activities are. D.Why people like a new challenge.
( )2.How do people feel when they enter the “flow” state
A.They feel worried and tired. B.They feel time passes too slowly.
C.They are lonely and bored. D.They are concentrating and happy.
( )3.Which activity is possible to help people achieve flow
A.Watching TV. B.Chatting. C.Writing. D.Eating nuts.
( )4.According to Dattilo, we can reduce loneliness during lockdown by_________.
A.following a healthy lifestyle B.completing impossible challenges
C.learning as many skills as possible D.doing some enjoyable and challenging tasks
( )5.What’s the best title of the passage
A. Loneliness Epidemic B.Go with the flow
C.A study of loneliness D.A balance between Life and Work
B
Several large wildfires are burning in California, where extreme (极端的) heat and dry, windy conditions are making the fires larger.
Two of the three largest fires in the state’s history are burning in the Northern San Francisco Bay area. Reports say more than 14,000 firefighters are making efforts(努力) to fight those fires. The fire danger is also high in Southern California. The USA Forest Service closed all eight national forests in the area on Monday and campgrounds around the state.
September and October are traditionally wildfire season in California. A record shows that 809,000 hectares (公顷) have burned this year. That was the highest record in the state’s history. That fire destroyed most of the community of Paradise and killed 85 people.
To prevent new wildfires, California’s biggest electricity provider now cuts power to areas with high-risk conditions. In recent days, power was cut to more than 172,000 homes in an effort to prevent new fires.
Nine hundred wildfires have been reported in California since August 15. Many of them are believed to have been caused by lightning strikes (雷击) in the middle of August. There have been eight fire deaths and more than 3,300 buildings destroyed.
“The wildfire situation throughout California is dangerous and must be taken seriously,” said an official Randy Moore. “Existing (现存的) fires are displaying extreme fire behavior. New fire starts, and weather conditions are becoming worse
and worse, and we simply do not have enough resources to fully fight every fire.”
( )6. In which season are there usually the most wildfires in California
A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter.
( )7. Many of the fires were caused by______ .
A. the strong winds B. fewer firefighter C. the lighting strikes D. the dry weather
( )8. What does the underlined word “destroyed” mean
A. 修建 B. 摧毁 C. 形成 D. 减少
( )9. What can we learn about the wildfires in California
A. The fire in Southern California is not so dangerous.
B. California’s wildfires are getting worse because of no power.
C. The official didn’t want to make efforts to put out the wildfire.
D. The wildfires this year have destroyed more land than ever before.
( )10. What is the main idea of the text
A. The wildfires in California become worse because of extreme weather.
B. There are always wildfires in California.
C. The wildfires in USA are more dangerous than those in other countries.
D. The wildfires can be easily put out
