Samyukta is a fourth-year student at Harvard Medical School, but poetry is still a big part of her life, now with a new teacher, Rafael Campo, who believes poetry can benefit every doctor’s education and work. Rafael is a physician, professor and a highly regarded poet.
“Poetry is in every encounter （相遇） with my patients. I think healing really in a very profound way is about poetry. And if we do anything when we’re with our patients, we’re really immersing ourselves in their stories, really hearing their voices. And, certainly, that’s what a poem does,” he said.
Rafael worries that something important has been lost in medicine and medical education today：humanity, which he finds in poetry. To that end, he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents （住院医生）.
He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from his or her patients, and poems can help close that gap.
Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars. She said, “I think there’s no other profession other than medicine that produces as many writers as it does except writing itself. And I think that is because there’s just so much power in doctors and patients interacting when patients are at their most vulnerable （脆弱的）.”
Rafael said, “I was afraid of how people might judge me, actually. In the medical profession, as many people know, we must always put the emergency first. But, you know, that kind of treatment, if it’s happening in the hospital, very regrettably, sadly, results in a bad outcome. The family is sitting by the bedside. The patient hasn’t survived the cancer.Don’t we still have a role as healers there ”
In a poem titled “Health”, Rafael writes of the wish to live forever in a world made painless by our incurable joy. He says he will continue teaching students, helping patients and writing poems, his own brand of alternative medicine.
【语篇导读】诗歌不只是文人墨客的专属，哈佛医学院的一位老师为医学生和住院医师开设了诗歌读写研习班，旨在让他们找回医疗工作中的博爱和仁慈之心。

[福建宁德2023高二期中]Today, many people spend a lot of time reading online. Whether it’s reading news or e-books, people are spending more time eyeballing screens.
While online reading opens up a vast amount of knowledge to people, there are some drawbacks, too. This includes eye strain, headaches as well as difficulty in focusing on the text. Now a new reading system has been intended to help people overcome these issues and read faster online.
A reading system called Bionic Reading, which was developed by Swiss designer Renato Casutt, was constructed with the belief that your brain can read faster than your eyes. The system involves showing the first few letters of each word in bold which actually allows your eyes to skip over parts of the text while your brain fills in what is missing. It is incredible how reading this feels like finally unlocking 100 percent of people’s brain.
Casutt came up with the system by accident. He was working on designing a book in a foreign language and realised he could read it if he sectioned it off. He worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and is still working to perfect it.
Many people who want to strengthen their reading ability show interest in it, but more research is needed before it can be finally shown that the system improves reading. But people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder （ADHD） （注意缺陷障碍） and dyslexia （诵读困难） have confirmed that Bionic Reading can help them focus on and comprehend what they are reading.
Casutt’s goal is to combine the system with all apps and online services.“In a digital world dominated （支配） by shallow forms of reading, Bionic Reading aims to encourage a more in-depth reading and understanding of written content,” he said. Bionic Reading is available in the following apps, Reeder 5, Fiery Feeds, Lire, and Next App. The best way to know if it helps you read better online is to try it yourself and find out what it is all about.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是可以改善在线阅读的“仿生阅读”系统。
28.What is Bionic Reading designed to do ( )
D
A.Encourage more ways of obtaining knowledge.
B.Urge people to spend more time eyeballing screens.
C.Support struggling readers with comprehension skills.
D.Improve online reading by highlighting parts of the words.
解析 细节理解题。第二段中的Now a new reading system has been intended to help people overcome these issues and read faster online.指出一个新的阅读系统旨在帮助人们解决这些问题，these issues指的是上文提到的eye strain, headaches as well as difficulty in focusing on the text，再结合第三段中的The system involves showing the first few letters of each word in bold可知，“仿生阅读”系统的设计目的是通过突出单词的部分字母来改善在线阅读。故选D项。
29.Who is reported to have benefited from the reading system ( )

A.Those with a hobby of reading. B.Those with reading disabilities.
C.Those who work for the system. D.Those who are addicted to e-books.

[浙江2022年6月] Many people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success, but research has found that moderation （适度） also gets results on the job.
In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new made-up language. Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all. High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways of viewing problems across fields the arts, sciences, and politics. High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance, especially in simple jobs where it doesn’t pay to be a perfectionist.
How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examination in many workplaces. The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is probably seen as a ..go-getter, while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office.“People from cultures that value relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of
eating alone in front of a computer,” says Art Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin. Social interaction has been shown to lift mood （情绪） and get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any post-lunch effort.
Markman also promotes off-task time.“Part of being a good thinker is experiencing things that are seemingly unrelated to what you are working on at the moment but give you fresh ideas about your work,” he says.“Also, there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity. So, when people do things to increase their life satisfaction, they also make themselves more effective at work.”
【语篇导读】许多人认为，最大限度地工作是成功的秘诀，但研究发现，适度工作也能取得成效。
A.It is worthwhile to be a perfectionist. B.Translation makes people knowledgeable.
C.Simpler jobs require greater caution. D.Moderate effort produces the best result.
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的… but research has found that moderation also gets results on the job.以及第二段中的Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all.可知，埃伦的研究表明，适度的努力能够产生最好的结果。故选D项。
33.The underlined word “go-getter” in paragraph 3 refers to someone who ___ .
B
A.is good at handling pressure B.works hard to become successful
C.has a natural talent for his job D.gets on well with his co-workers
解析 词义猜测题。本段首句提到，在许多工作场所，我们工作的时间长短以及我们如何度过这些时间都受到了仔细的审查。再结合画线词后的while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office可知，在会议室悠闲地吃饭聊天的同事会招致办公室高层的冷眼，即领导可能会认为这样的员工不够努力。其中的while表示前后分句构成对比关系，由此推测出，在办公桌上吃午餐的人可能被视为积极进取的人，故go-getter意为“有冲劲和进取心的人”。故选B项。
32.What does Ellen Langer’s study show ( )
D
34.What can be inferred from the last paragraph ( )
C
A.A good thinker is able to inspire other people. B.Experience unrelated to your job is useless.
C.A cheerful mood helps make a creative mind. D.Focusing on what you do raises productivity.
解析 细节理解题。结合本段中的… there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity.可知，很多研究表明，积极的情绪会带来更高水平的生产力和创造力，即开朗的心情有助于产生创造性思维。故选C项。
35.What does the text seem to advocate ( )
A
A.Middle-of-the-road work habits. B.Balance between work and family.
C.Long-standing cultural traditions. D.Harmony in the work environment.
解析 推理判断题。通览全文内容可知，本文重点讲述适度工作能够取得令人满意的成效。由此可推知，文章主张的是“中庸的工作习惯”。故选A项。

paintings and photography. 39. . School kids can be asked to write their views about the paper or
about any topic that they wish for.

After observing several employees, it was . .47. . that anyone tying the box could complete it in a matter of seconds.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了香港培侨中学九年级学生陈蔓琳给航天员写信并得到回复的故事。
56.______
ninth
解析 句意为：香港培侨中学九年级学生陈蔓琳于2022年6月获悉，中国空间站在全国范围内开展了一项向航天员写信的活动，活动名为“带着我的梦想上天宫”。此处意为“一名九年级学生”，表示“……年级”应用序数词。故填ninth。
57.__________
astronauts
解析 句意见上一题解析。astronaut意为“航天员”，为可数名词，空前无限定词修饰，且根据语境可知，此处表示复数含义，故这里应用名词复数。故填astronauts。
58.________
planned
解析 句意为：那天晚上，她写了一封信，详细描述了她计划旅程的每一刻，以及她是如何逐渐了解航天员的工作的。此空作定语，修饰后面的名词journey，应填非谓语动词；plan和journey之间为逻辑上的被动关系，故应用过去分词。故填planned。
59.____________
was planted
解析 句意为：这颗种子是陈蔓琳6岁时种下的。此空是主句的谓语，根据when Chen was 6 years old可知，时态用一般过去时；主语The seed和plant之间为被动关系，主语The seed为单数。故填was planted。
60._________
has paid
解析 句意为：从那以后，陈蔓琳特别关注航空航天工业的新闻和发展。分析句子结构可知，此空应填谓语动词，由Since then可知，时态应用现在完成时，且主语Chen和pay attention to之间为主动关系，主语为Chen，助动词用has。故填has paid。
61.___
A
解析 句意为：大约一个月后，一封三页的回信被送达。根据语境可知，这里指“一封三页的信”，表泛指，three-page的发音以辅音音素开头，所以应用不定冠词a，且本空位于句首，应大写。故填A。
62.___
to
解析 句意为：神舟十四号航天员陈东对这名学生作出了回应。respond to表示“对……作出回应”，为固定搭配。故填to。
63._________
who/that
解析 句意为：全中国有三万名学生参加了这项活动，陈蔓琳是其中之一，她成为第一位收到太空来信的学生。此处引导限制性定语从句，先行词为students，指人，关系词在从句中作主语。故填who/that。
64.__________
to receive
解析 句意见上一题解析。设空处作后置定语，修饰the first one，被修饰词前有first, last等词修饰时，常用不定式作后置定语。故填to receive。
65.__________
personally
解析 句意为：她的学校在2022年7月19日举办了一个大型聚会，那一天创新科技及工业局局长孙东亲自递送了这封信。此空作状语，修饰后面的动词delivered，应填副词。故填personally。

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
From the first day he entered my classroom, Willard P. Frank existed in his own world, shutting out his classmates and me. My attempts at building a friendly relationship with him met with complete indifference. I could see that his classmates fared no better. Willard was strictly a loner who seemed to have no desire or need to break his silence.
Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday, we received word of the annual Christmas collection of money for the less fortunate people in our school district.“Christmas is a season of giving,” I told my students.“There are a few students in the school who might not have a happy holiday season. By contributing to our Christmas collection, you will help buy food, clothing and toys for these needy people. We will start the collection tomorrow.”
When I called for the contributions the next day, I discovered that almost everyone had forgotten except for Willard P.Frank. The boy dug deep into his pants pockets as he walked slowly to my desk. Carefully, he dropped two quarters into the small container.“I don’t need milk for lunch,” he mumbled （嘟哝）. For a moment, just a moment, he smiled. Then he turned and walked back to his desk.
That night, after school, I took our few contributions to the school principal. I couldn’t help sharing the incident that had taken place.“I may be wrong, but I believe Willard might be getting ready to become a part of the world around him,” I told the principal.“Yes,” he nodded.“And we might do well to have him share a bit of his world with us. I just received a list of the poor families in our school who most need help through the Christmas collection. Here, take a look at it.” As I gazed down to read, I discovered Willard P. Frank and his family were the top names on the list. Seeing this, I decided to do something for him.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。

On that Sunday, I paid a visit to Willard's family.On entering his house, I was surprised to find a nearly empty room with a broken bed and a dirty sofa.Willard told me his mother died and that his father went missing, leaving him to live with a sick grandma.When asked why he had given the two quarters, Willard mumbled, “I just want to help others by contributing my milk money.” I couldn't help bursting into tears, thinking I should help him break his silence.
The next day, I had a special class for Willard.I shared his story with the whole class and said, “Now, on behalf of the people in need, I should say thanks to Willard. He is great!” After a brief silence, all the students clapped, saying, “Willard, you are great!” They walked to him and hugged him tightly.A friendly relationship was built and Willard's silence was broken by a smile on his face.
