2023届湖南省衡阳市高三第二次联考（二模）英语试题
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Navigation(导航)skills seem to come naturally to some-but others aren’t so lucky. If you are lacking in a sense of direction, especially sick of taking wrong turns, here’s how to start finding your way.
To begin with, I have to be frank that I had an interest in researching this topic because my own sense of direction is absolutely rubbish. ____16____ I can find my way there easily enough because there are signs pointing me in the right direction. But getting back to my dining table is another story. After all, there are no helpful signs saying, “This is where you were sitting less than five minutes ago, Jane.”
However，a good news is that according to scientists the hippocampus(海马体)-the part of the brain associated with navigation-expands to accommodate the mental maps of those who are puzzled with directions. ____17____ They just need to work at it.
Firstly, it’s a good idea to put the GPS away. In a University of Nottingham study, drivers who’d followed step-by-step GPS instructions found it harder to work out where they’d been. ____18____
____19____ Not least it is because the amount of mental energy it re-quires means it’s more likely to stick in your mind. Looking at online maps on a big screen-or even studying a paper map-also allows you to get a sense of that all-important bigger picture and how everywhere fits together.
Finally, try to relax when you’re on unfamiliar ground. ____20____ But this sudden burst of anxiety will only increase your pressure and prevent you from calmly working out which way to go.
A. I always get lost when I am out.
B. Yes,they can improve the sense of direction.
C. Take popping to the toilet in a restaurant, for example.
D. They even failed to notice they’d been past the same place.
E. However, they can finally manage the direction completely.
F. It’s all too easy to get panicked by the suspicion of getting lost.
G. Studying a larger map and memorizing the route in advance can be helpful.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分)
Some people prefer to have a bite to eat before hitting the gym, known as a fed workout. Others would like to wait until after exercising to refuel their bodies, called a fasted workout.___36___ Many experts say there’s no easy answer because it depends on the person.
If you want energy and strength for an ideal workout, you need fuel. A fed workout will provide your body with power. Eating before exercise may help you sustain longer sessions and lift heavier weights. ___37___ Muscle preservation is also an essential component of strengthening your body. Nitrogen (氮) is critical for processing protein that builds healthy muscles. People tend to lose less nitrogen during a fed workout than a fasted one.
Many fitness enthusiasts are not on board with this idea. They report feeling sick and inactive while trying to exercise after eating. With a fasted workout, you may not get the usual indigestion. Experts for fasted workouts further claim that eating afterwards makes your body use its fat reserves for energy, meaning you will burn more fat. ___38___ It can cause a sudden drop in your blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels, and you may feel dizzy. You may even be more likely to overeat.
___39___ Not all foods are created equal. For example, if you choose a fed workout, you’ll probably lose a lot of water during an intense training, so you should consider drinking some beforehand. With a fasted workout, it would help if you had some nutrition right after your session is complete. Drink some water. Then, have a light meal or nutritional snack.
Deciding when to eat for an ideal workout is a personal choice. Both fasted workouts and fed activities have their benefits and shortcomings. ___40___
A. However a fasted workout might not work for you.
B. How your body will respond is based on your workout intensity.
C. These benefits can result in burning more fat and shaping a slimmer body.
D. To eat or not to eat, that is the question on many fitness enthusiasts’ minds.
E. Think thoroughly and discuss with your fitness instructor before taking a choice.
F. Knowing what to eat for an ideal workout is just as important as knowing when to eat.
G. A person doing a 30-minute session a day may not have a problem with fasted workouts.

Your Brain Was Made For Walking
If a president, a legendary philosopher, and one of the bestselling authors of all time credited the same secret for their success, would you try to follow it too What if the secret was something you already knew how to do ___16___.
Get walking! It’s not just some people who made a case for it as a prime creativity booster. ___17___A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside-versus on a treadmill-produces the most novel and highest quality analogies in participants who walked and then sat down to do creative work.
The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. You’ve probably heard the phrase Exercise your creativity, which refers to the brain as muscle. Our creative mindset is stimulated by physical movement. ___18___
But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. The National Human Activity Pattern Survey reveals that Americans spend 87 percent of their time indoors. Being inside, you’re more likely to stagnation, the antithesis of energy. Without energy, you can’t wonder or create. ___19___ Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities.
___20___ Engage more closely with your surroundings for the next four weeks. Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, to notice the way people move. Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder.
A. Physical movement is unintentional.
B. In fact, you probably do it every day.
C. So why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking
D. That is why walking-with a friend, or alone-feeds creative thinking.
E. Interrupting your routine with a walk can produce fresh ideas for problems.
F. Researchers have traced connections between walking and generating ideas.
G. Disconnecting from multimedia increases performance on all problem-solving tasks.

第二节(共5小题)
根据短文内容，从短文中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。
Do you feel like an outsider, like you don’t belong anywhere or that you just don’t fit in Here are some tips for you to deal with these feelings.
____16____ Often it’s really only your own mind and emotions that tell you that you don’t fit in. Actually, you may fit in fine. Feeling like you don’t belong isn’t always a bad thing either. Remember, it’s the people that are unique in this world that make the biggest impact. You don’t want to change yourself just to fit in with a certain group of people. ____17____ They end up wanting to gain approval from others and end up losing themselves in the process.
Let go of past anger. We’re so angry at people that we can’t relate to anyone or only expect the worst from others. Once I figured out how to let go of my past, I became much more comfortable being me. ____18____ Maybe because I didn’t care as much what they thought of me but more likely just because I think people are more affected by the “aura” you give off.
Focus on your wants and desires. Instead of focusing on the problem that you don’t feel like you fit in, try turning it around. What do you want to explore, what goals do you have, or what do you want to learn ____19____ There are so many incredible and inspiring things in this world to explore. Focus on the positive and the beauty of the world rather than getting caught up in a negative situation.
The key to handling the situation of “I feel like an outsider” is really all in how you react to that feeling. ____20____ As those who have gone through the same feelings show, there can definitely be an advantage to being unique. You truly are special and there is no one else quite like you. You just need to be willing to share the real you with the world.
A. Don’t be so hard on yourself.
B. Appreciate what makes you so unique.
C. That’s where a number of people go wrong.
D. Ask yourself these questions and then go and do it.
E. I found it was easier to get along with other people.
F. You have so much more to offer by being true to yourself.
G. You can beat yourself up over it or you can become stronger for it.

Three Ways to Slow Down Myopia
Myopia, which is also known as short-sightedness or nearsightedness, is a growing problem. In fact, a recent study predicts that myopia will affect vision for nearly half of the global population by 2050. Myopia usually begins in childhood and tends to get worse as people get older. This can have a negative impact on one’s everyday life. ____36____ Here’s how.
First, put the devices away. Data from 145 studies covering 2. 1 million participants revealed that increases in myopia are driven principally by lifestyle. Today’s youth spend a lot of time performing near work activities, often on electronic devices. Of course, it’s unrealistic not to use these devices at all. ____37____
Next, go outside. Increased outdoor activity has been shown to slow the onset of myopia by 11%-34%. One possible reason is that components of sunlight activate vitamin D, which may play a potential role in eye growth. ____38____ This places fewer near-vision demands on young eyes.
____39____Regular glasses and contact lenses (隐形眼镜)can help people see more clearly, but they do not slow down the progression of myopia. However, certain types of contact lenses including soft lenses can slow down the speed at which myopia develops, providing a more effective and efficient treatment option. Just consult your doctor.
Controlling myopia is important because the dependency on glasses can reduce one’s ability to participate actively in sports and other activities. ____40____Therefore, take steps to keep your eyes healthy.
A. Finally, try not to wear glasses.
B. Finally, ask your doctor about ways to manage myopia.
C. Myopia can be caused by family history, lifestyle or both.
D. But try to limit them so that there’s more balance in the day.
E. And increasing myopia can sometimes lead to future eye health problems.
F. Fortunately, new research is lighting the path to improved strategies to manage myopia.
G. Also, people are usually engaged in more distance vision activities when they’re outside.

下文“I can find my way there easily enough because there are signs pointing me in the right direction. But getting back to my dining table is another story (我可以很容易地找到去那里的路，因为那里有指示牌指向我正确的方向。但回到我的餐桌是另一回事)” 可知此处讲述作者在以自已出门在餐厅找洗手间为例，要找到洗手间很容易，但要回到自己的餐桌位置却并不容易说明，因此C项“以去餐馆上厕所为例”符合语境，故选C。
【17题详解】
上文“those who are puzzled with directions (那些对方向感到困惑的人)” 以及“They just need to work at it (他们只需要努力)”可知主语与上下文相同，都应由“they”指代“those who”,注意文中的指代关系，因此B项“是的，它们可以提高方向感”符合语境，故选B。

【20题详解】
上文“Finally, try to relax when you’re on unfamiliar ground (最后，当你在陌生的地方时，试着放松)”说明的是从思想上保持冷静放松，设空处随即解释保持放松的原因，以及下文“But this sudden burst of anxiety will only increase your pressure and prevent you from calmly working out which way to go.

【17题详解】
根据上文“Get walking! It’s not just some people who made a case for it as a prime creativity booster. (散步！不仅仅是一些人认为它是一种主要的创造力助推器！)”以及后文“A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside-versus on a treadmill-produces the most novel and highest quality analogies in participants who walked and then sat down to do creative work. (斯坦福大学的一项研究发现，参与者走路时的创造力比坐着时高出81%。根据这项研究，在户外行走与在跑步机上行走相比，在步行后坐下来做创造性工作的参与者中产生了最新颖和最高质量的类比)”可知，后文提到了大学的户外行走的研究，可见有研究人员在研究走路和产生想法之间的联系。故F选项“研究人员追踪了走路和产生想法之间的联系”符合语境，故选F。

【19题详解】
根据上文“But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. The National Human Activity Pattern Survey reveals that Americans spend 87 percent of their time indoors. Being inside, you’re more likely to stagnation, the antithesis of energy. Without energy, you can’t wonder or create. (但风景几乎和汗水一样重要。全国人类活动模式调查显示，美国人87%的时间都在室内度过。待在室内，你更有可能停滞不前，这是能量的对立面。没有能量，你就无法好奇或创造)”以及后文“Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. (只要走出去，你就走出了你习惯的环境和你的舒适区，如果你想打开你的心扉，迎接新的可能性，这是必要的)”可知，上文提到待在室内无法培养创造力，后文则建议走出去，可知本句属于过渡句，指出散步的作用：打断你的日常工作可以让你对问题产生新的想法。故E选项“用散步来打断你的日常工作可以让你对问题产生新的想法”符合语境，故选E。
【20题详解】

You don’t want to change yourself just to fit in with a certain group of people.(通常只有你自己的思想和情绪告诉你，你不适合这里。事实上，你可能很适合。感觉自己不属于这里也不总是坏事。记住，在这个世界上，只有独一无二的人才能产生最大的影响。你不想为了迎合某一群人而改变自己)”可知，本段讲述的是经常是你自己的兴智和情感认为自己不合群，实际上你融入的很好。你不用总想着改变自己去融入一组人群中。不能融入其中未必是件坏事。所以你没必要对自己太苛刻。故A选项“别对自己太苛刻了”符合语境，故选A。
【17题详解】

Navigation(导航)skills seem to come naturally to some-but others aren’t so lucky. If you are lacking in a sense of direction, especially sick of taking wrong turns, here’s how to start finding your way.
To begin with, I have to be frank that I had an interest in researching this topic because my own sense of direction is absolutely rubbish. ____16____ I can find my way there easily enough because there are signs pointing me in the right direction.

Some people prefer to have a bite to eat before hitting the gym, known as a fed workout. Others would like to wait until after exercising to refuel their bodies, called a fasted workout.___36___ Many experts say there’s no easy answer because it depends on the person.
If you want energy and strength for an ideal workout, you need fuel. A fed workout will provide your body with power. Eating before exercise may help you sustain longer sessions and lift heavier weights. ___37___ Muscle preservation is also an essential component of strengthening your body. Nitrogen (氮) is critical for processing protein that builds healthy muscles. People tend to lose less nitrogen during a fed workout than a fasted one.
Many fitness enthusiasts are not on board with this idea. They report feeling sick and inactive while trying to exercise after eating. With a fasted workout, you may not get the usual indigestion. Experts for fasted workouts further claim that eating afterwards makes your body use its fat reserves for energy, meaning you will burn more fat. ___38___ It can cause a sudden drop in your blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels, and you may feel dizzy. You may even be more likely to overeat.
___39___ Not all foods are created equal. For example, if you choose a fed workout, you’ll probably lose a lot of water during an intense training, so you should consider drinking some beforehand. With a fasted workout, it would help if you had some nutrition right after your session is complete. Drink some water. Then, have a light meal or nutritional snack.
Deciding when to eat for an ideal workout is a personal choice. Both fasted workouts and fed activities have their benefits and shortcomings. ___40___
A. However a fasted workout might not work for you.
B. How your body will respond is based on your workout intensity.
C. These benefits can result in burning more fat and shaping a slimmer body.
D. To eat or not to eat, that is the question on many fitness enthusiasts’ minds.
E. Think thoroughly and discuss with your fitness instructor before taking a choice.
F. Knowing what to eat for an ideal workout is just as important as knowing when to eat.
G. A person doing a 30-minute session a day may not have a problem with fasted workouts.

Get walking! It’s not just some people who made a case for it as a prime creativity booster. ___17___A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting.

Being inside, you’re more likely to stagnation, the antithesis of energy. Without energy, you can’t wonder or create. ___19___ Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities.

Do you feel like an outsider, like you don’t belong anywhere or that you just don’t fit in Here are some tips for you to deal with these feelings.
____16____ Often it’s really only your own mind and emotions that tell you that you don’t fit in. Actually, you may fit in fine. Feeling like you don’t belong isn’t always a bad thing either. Remember, it’s the people that are unique in this world that make the biggest impact. You don’t want to change yourself just to fit in with a certain group of people. ____17____ They end up wanting to gain approval from others and end up losing themselves in the process.
Let go of past anger. We’re so angry at people that we can’t relate to anyone or only expect the worst from others. Once I figured out how to let go of my past, I became much more comfortable being me. ____18____ Maybe because I didn’t care as much what they thought of me but more likely just because I think people are more affected by the “aura” you give off.
Focus on your wants and desires. Instead of focusing on the problem that you don’t feel like you fit in, try turning it around. What do you want to explore, what goals do you have, or what do you want to learn ____19____ There are so many incredible and inspiring things in this world to explore. Focus on the positive and the beauty of the world rather than getting caught up in a negative situation.
The key to handling the situation of “I feel like an outsider” is really all in how you react to that feeling. ____20____ As those who have gone through the same feelings show, there can definitely be an advantage to being unique. You truly are special and there is no one else quite like you. You just need to be willing to share the real you with the world.
A. Don’t be so hard on yourself.
B. Appreciate what makes you so unique.
C. That’s where a number of people go wrong.

Three Ways to Slow Down Myopia
Myopia, which is also known as short-sightedness or nearsightedness, is a growing problem. In fact, a recent study predicts that myopia will affect vision for nearly half of the global population by 2050. Myopia usually begins in childhood and tends to get worse as people get older. This can have a negative impact on one’s everyday life. ____36____ Here’s how.
First, put the devices away. Data from 145 studies covering 2. 1 million participants revealed that increases in myopia are driven principally by lifestyle. Today’s youth spend a lot of time performing near work activities, often on electronic devices. Of course, it’s unrealistic not to use these devices at all. ____37____
Next, go outside. Increased outdoor activity has been shown to slow the onset of myopia by 11%-34%. One possible reason is that components of sunlight activate vitamin D, which may play a potential role in eye growth. ____38____ This places fewer near-vision demands on young eyes.
____39____Regular glasses and contact lenses (隐形眼镜)can help people see more clearly, but they do not slow down the progression of myopia. However, certain types of contact lenses including soft lenses can slow down the speed at which myopia develops, providing a more effective and efficient treatment option. Just consult your doctor.
Controlling myopia is important because the dependency on glasses can reduce one’s ability to participate actively in sports and other activities. ____40____Therefore, take steps to keep your eyes healthy.
A. Finally, try not to wear glasses.
B. Finally, ask your doctor about ways to manage myopia.
C. Myopia can be caused by family history, lifestyle or both.
D. But try to limit them so that there’s more balance in the day.
E. And increasing myopia can sometimes lead to future eye health problems.
F. Fortunately, new research is lighting the path to improved strategies to manage myopia.
G. Also, people are usually engaged in more distance vision activities when they’re outside.
