第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
[2023·湖南省高三适应性考试]Sometimes it takes a work of art to give the inspiration for advances in science. For example, Elon Musk's dream of humans living on other planets was first inspired by Isaac Asimov's Foundation book series. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, a massive fan of the Star Trek television series, founded his very own space company Blue Origin. Let's explore some of the technologies from science fiction that have been brought to life.
Remote control
Frank Herbert's 1965 novel Dune features a small flying robot device that is piloted remotely, one of the earliest appearances of drones in science fiction. With the first permit for commercial drone use in the US given in 2006, drones became a reality, and can now be found taking on multiple roles in photography, farming and military.
From thin air
The television show Star Trek, first appearing on screens in 1966, inspired science. One of the most unexpected examples may be the 3D printer. In the program, a device can create any object desired within a matter of seconds. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, US, developed a 3D printer in 2019 that shapes objects using rays of light. The device uses light to alter the density of resin (树脂), changing the material from a liquid to a solid in order to shape the desired object.
Starting the heart
One of the first sci fi novels, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley has had a huge impact on science. Earl Bakken, the inventor of the pacemaker (起搏器), a device placed into the chest that helps the heart to pump blood using small electrical impulses, was inspired by the 1931 movie adaptation of the book. “What impressed me the most... was the creative spark of Dr Frankenstein's electricity，” Bakken told the Atlantic. Defibrillators (除颤仪), which restart the heart with an electrical current after a cardiac arrest (心脏停搏), also resemble the electric shock that gave the monster life.
21．Whose work inspired science
A．Elon Musk's. B．Jeff Bezos'.
C．Frank Herbert's. D．Earl Bakken's.
22．Which of the following can create new things from “nowhere”？
A．Drones. B．3D printer.
C．Pacemakers. D．Defibrillators.
23．Which can be summarized from the passage
A．Science fiction thinks big.
B．Technology flies out of our imagination
C．Imagination leads to advanced civilization.
D．Scientific development relies on technology.
A
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了三个灵感来自于科幻作品的技术发明。
21．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据“Remote control(远程控制)”下文的详细介绍可知Frank Herbert的作品给科学带来了灵感。
22．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据“From thin air”以及下文的详细介绍可知在《星际迷航》有一种设备可以在几秒钟内创造任何想要的物体，而3D打印机就是以此为灵感开发的可以用光线塑造物体形状的打印机，所以说3D打印机可以“无中生有，凭空(From thin air)”地创造新的东西。
23．答案与解析：B 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段的最后一句“Let's explore some of the technologies from science fiction that have been brought to life.”以及下文三项技术灵感来源的详细阐述，可知文章主要介绍了灵感来自科幻作品的一些发明，选项B“技术来自我们的想象”可以概括全文。

[2023·江苏省高中模拟]In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception of the food in front of us.
Studies have shown, for instance, that eating in front of the TV (or a similar distraction) can increase both hunger and the amount of food consumed. Even simple visual cues, like plate size and lighting, have been shown to affect portion size and consumption.
A new study suggested that our shot term memory also may play a role in appetite. Several hours after a meal, people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they'd eaten but rather by how much food they'd seen in front of them—in other words, how much they remembered eating.
This difference suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brunstrom, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol.
“Hunger isn't controlled solely by the physical characteristics of a recent meal. We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal.” Brunstrom says. “This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought.”
These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our body's response to the food itself. In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380 calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger related hormones, depending on whether the shake's label said it contained 620 or 140 calories. Moreover, the participants reported feeling fuller when they thought they'd consumed a higher calorie shake.
What does this means for our eating habits Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves in to eating less, the new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food avoiding TV and multitasking while eating.
The so called mindful eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says.
24．Which of the following affects our appetite and food intake according to the author
A．When we eat our meals.
B．How fast we eat our meals.
C．What ingredients the food contains.
D．How we perceive the food we eat.
25．What would happen at meal time if you remembered eating a lot in the previous meal
A．You would not feel so hungry.
B．You would have a good appetite.
C．You would not feel like eating at all.
D．You would be more particular about food.
26．Which of the following works best if we plan to control our appetite
A．Picking dishes of the right size.
B．Tricking ourselves into eating less.
C．Choosing food with fewer calories.
D．Concentrating on food while eating.
27．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Good eating habits will contribute to our health.
B．Psychological factors influence our hunger levels.
C．Eating distractions often affect our food digestion.
D．Our food intake is determined by our biological needs.
B
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过提出几项研究，讲述了我们的食欲和食物摄入量还受到大量因素的影响，包括我们的饮食环境和我们对面前食物的感知。
24．答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception of the food in front of us.(近年来，越来越多的研究表明，除了我们对能量的生物需求外，我们的食欲和食物摄入量还受到大量因素的影响，包括我们的饮食环境和我们对面前食物的感知。) ”可知，调查显示，吃东西的环境和我们对食物的感知也会影响着我们对食物的胃口和摄入。
25．答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Several hours after a meal, people's hunger levels were predicted ... by how much food they'd seen in front of them—in other words, how much they remembered eating.”可推出，如果人们记得自己曾吃过很多东西，他们就会感到不那么饿。
26．答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The so called mindful eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says.”可知，Brunstrom的研究表明，专注地吃东西可以帮助我们控制胃口。
27．答案与解析：B 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了影响我们饥饿水平的一些心理原因，例如文章第一段“our eating environment and our perception of the food in front of us.”，第三段“A new study suggested that our shot term memory also may play a role in appetite.”等，对食物的感知、饮食环节、标签作用等，都是一些影响人们饥饿水平的心理原因。
C
[2023·浙江省绍兴市一模]Brazilian artist Néle Azevedo is best known for big public art pieces. The artist carves hundreds of 20 centimeter tall ice figures seated with their ankles crossed and places them atop outdoor steps and puts them in city squares all over the world, where they quickly melt. The faceless sculptures drip and pool into small puddles as time passes. Her works have been adopted by environmentalists as a kind of activist art against climate change.
But is it Yes and (mostly) no.
The mass of melting bodies makes a natural connection to the threat humankind faces due to rising global temperatures. “Its close link with that subject is evident，” said the artist. In addition to the threat of global warming itself, the sheer number of sculptures sitting together also calls attention to the fact that we humans are all in it together. “Such kind of threats also finally put man in his place, his fate is along with the destiny of the planet, and he is not the ‘king’ of nature, but an essential element of it，” continues Azevedo on her website.
“I took every characteristic of traditional monuments and made the opposite，” she says. “I made small figures that sit on the floor. It doesn't honor anybody. It does honor the unknown.”
Azevedo explains, “In a few minute action, the rules of the monument are inverted:__in the place of the hero, the unknown; in the place of the solidity of the stone, the momentary process of the ice; in the place of the monument size, the minimum size of the perishable (易毁坏的) bodies.” Originally Azevedo wanted her art to get people thinking about impermanence, and the sight of ice transforming into a puddle of water certainly does that brilliantly.
28．What can we learn about Néle Azevedo's artworks
A．They are put in public places for artists to appreciate.
B．They are adopted as a way of showing artistic talents.
C．They are linked with the threat of climate change.
D．They are considered as a symbol of unity.
29．Which of the following can best replace the word “inverted” in Paragraph 5
A．kept track of
B．turned upside down
C．laid emphasis on
D．taken into account
30．What can be inferred about the square show from the last paragraph
A．It is permanent by nature.
B．It lacks practical influence.
C．It takes long to see the results.
D．It conveys the artist's exact intention.
31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Public Interest in Contemporary Art
B．Ice Figures Transforming into Water
C.Responsibility Demanded of Activist Artists
D．Mini Sculptures Echoing the Climate Crisis
C
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。介绍了巴西艺术家Néle Azevedo的冰雕作品，她的作品被视作一种对抗气候变化的艺术。
28．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Her works have been adopted by environmentalists as a kind of activist art against climate change.”可知，她的作品与气候变化的威胁有关。
29．答案与解析：B 词句猜测题。根据第四段的“I took every characteristic of traditional monuments and made the opposite”和第五段可知，纪念碑规则被颠倒了，画线词inverted的意思是“颠倒的”，和turned upside down意思相近。
30．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Originally Azevedo wanted her art to get people thinking about impermanence(最初，Azevedo希望她的艺术作品能让人们思考无常)”可知，她在广场上展示的作品传达了这位艺术家的确切意图，也就是让人们思考。
31．答案与解析：B 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的内容可知，本文主要讲的是巴西艺术家Néle Azevedo的冰雕作品，她的作品被视作一种对抗气候变化的艺术，因此最好的题目是B选项“冰人变成水”。
D
[2023·江苏省高三期中考试]A star athlete at the college where I work recently stopped by my office. After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she was riven by self criticism. “I'm at peak fitness, and I practice hard. How is this happening？” She asked.
This student believes she should be able to control the outcomes of her life by virtue of her hard work. She has a sense that hours on the field should get her exactly where she needs to go. Many students have similar mentality. When they win, they feel powerful and smart. When they fail, they are crushed by self blame. If my achievements are mine to control, they reason, my failures must be entirely my fault, too.
We talk often about young adults struggling with failure because their parents have protected them from discomfort. But there is something else at play: a false promise that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it.
Psychologists have sourced this phenomenon to a misapplication of “mindset” research, which has found that praising children for effort will increase academic performance. A 2018 analysis found that while praising effort over ability may benefit economically disadvantaged students, it does not necessarily help everyone.
One possible explanation comes from Suniya Luthar, who argued in a research paper that for teens in wealthy, pressure cooker communities, “it is not a lack of motivation and perseverance (毅力) that is the big problem. Instead, it is unhealthy perfectionism, and difficulty with backing off when they should, when the desire for achievements is over the top.” They push themselves onward in face of impossible goals. A 2007 study found that teens who refused to give up impossible goals showed higher levels of C reaction protein, a marker of systemic inflammation (全身炎症) linked to heart disease and other medical conditions. A 2014 study showed a connection between the perfectionist tendencies and depression.
The cruel reality is that you can do everything in your power and still fail. Instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things don't go their way, we adults should help students pursue success in healthier ways in part by redefining failure as a feature, not a bug, of learning. At Smith College where I teach, students are asked to explore how setbacks and missteps made them stronger or more effective. We would be wise to remind our kids that life has a way of sucker punching (意外打击) us when we least expect it. It's often the people who learn to say “stuff happens” who get up the fastest.
32．Why was star athlete trapped by self blame
A．She broke down during the match.
B．She didn't try her best in the match.
C．She believed hard work should pay off.
D．She thought she should have practiced harder.
33．What can we learn from Paragraph 5
A．Lack of motivation and perseverance leads to teens' failure.
B．Praising children for effort increases academic performance.
C．Children struggle with failure due to parents' over protection.
D．Unhealthy perfectionism causes physical and emotional stress.
34．According to the author, adults should ________.
A.help students learn from failure
B．protect students from discomfort
C．reward students for their hard work
D．explore the cause of students' failure
35．Which of the following does the author probably agree with
A．Effort equals achievement.
B．Motivation is the key to success.
C．Success is not always under control.
D．Effort is more important than ability.
D
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。研究表明“心态”的误用使年青人有了个伪命题：如果他们愿意为之工作，他们就能取得任何成就。但实际并非如此，生活会在最不经意的时候，给你打击，反而是那些经常说“事情会发生”的人站起来得最快。
32．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“‘I'm at peak fitness, and I practice hard. How is this happening？’ She asked.”，第二段开始：“This student believes she should be able to control the outcomes of her life by virtue of her hard work.”，这位明星运动员深陷自责，她觉得她足够努力，她能通过努力来控制生活的结果，选项C：她相信努力工作就会有回报。题目问明星运动员深陷自责的原因，所以选项C切题。
33．答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第五段：“Instead, it is unhealthy perfectionism, ...”，“A 2007 study found that teens who refused to give up impossible goals showed higher levels of C reaction protein, ... linked to heart disease and other medical conditions. A 2014 study showed a connection between the perfectionist tendencies and depression.”，2007年和2014年的研究表明拒绝放弃不可能的目标会产生心脏病以及其他医学相关的炎症，抑郁与此有关。所以选D项：不健康的完美主义会导致身体和情感压力。
34．答案与解析：A 细节理解题。最后一段：“...we adults should help students pursue success in healthier ways in part by redefining failure as a feature, not a bug, of learning.” 我们成年人应该帮助学生以更健康的方式追求成功，将失败重新定义为学习的一个特征，而不是错误。选项A要帮助学生从失败中学习切题。
35．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。文中作者用了研究结论来说明：“The cruel reality is that you can do everything in your power and still fail.”，残酷的现实是，你可以尽你所能，仍然失败。所以可以推测出作者同意的观点是：付出未必总是有回报。
Ⅱ.七选五
[2023·山东省高三期中考试]To put into words my time in Antarctica and South Georgia is nearly impossible. I had always described it as a once in a lifetime experience, but as soon as I stepped foot on the continent, I immediately knew I needed to return.
__36__ About 50% of the passengers of our expedition (远征) had been to Antarctica at least once before. This goes to show just how magical of a destination it is.
All your senses will be stimulated...is the best way I can describe the time on the white continent. How tiny you feel next to towering glaciers and icebergs. The icy water moving through your body as you take the infamous Polar Plunge. The learning of heart touching stories of survival from explorers of the past. __37__
Antarctica makes you feel so small and insignificant, in the best way. __38__ You get front row seats to witness the most incredible show: nature. It is as much beautiful as is it cruel. Like seeing a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick. Your heart aches. Then your expedition guide regretfully tells you that a chick that is small in March would have very slim chances of surviving the upcoming winter. The cycle continues, and you're left wondering who to root for.
Things move fast in Antarctica, and every month offers something really unique and special to see. In March, the weather is a bit more unpredictable, and the sea ice is beginning to form again. __39_ In two more weeks, expedition ships would not be able to break through the ice.
The penguins are completing their yearly feather changing process. __40__ The expedition team made sure we kept our distance and did not scare them into hiding under freezing water.
These animals, arguably the cutest you will ever see, survive such unfavorable environments. It's absolutely incredible to witness the challenges, the skill, the efforts, all of it. I am forever grateful to have been a visitor.
A．The list goes on.
B．But this is not always the case.
C．Our voyage was the last of the season.
D．I was not the only one who felt this way.
E．I, years later, did return to this fascinating place.
F．They are really weak during this time, and cannot dive.
G．Everything has a purpose, and the cycle of life is evident.

Then I waited for the fun. I wasn't __44__. When Miss Baugh saw the overturned bottle. she let out a little __45__.
But immediately Miss Baugh discovered the __46__. She picked up the bottle and examined it. She looked up. Her eyes __47__ the classroom with a deadly look. Some of my classmates carefully __48__ looking at me，so as not to give me away.

I quietly __49__ my hand. All of my life I've been educated to be honest. I couldn't help __50__. Besides，I wanted my bottle back.

“Well，it certainly __53__ me！”she said，and returned the bottle to me.

Dear Aron，
I'm writing to share my visit to an Exhibition of Cultural Relics with you. Last Saturday morning, students in my class got to the local museum by bus. Upon entering it, we were received by the staff. A lot of valuable cultural relics made of bronze, jade and other materials, dating from the Shang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, were on display. It was a visual and brain shock. It was not until noon that we went back to school under the guidance of our teachers.
To be honest, the exhibition left an everlasting impression on my mind. I was amazed and proud to have seen the wonders that ancient China offered.
Yours，

[2023·海南省高考全真模拟]My wife, our two kids under 4 and I were in the post office a few weeks ago. We have to go there every month to pay various fees. I was being served when an old man in his eighties, with obvious, significant health issues, was waiting to pay his electricity bill. He was struggling to walk on a walking stick, and his hands and arms were shaking all the time. I knew by feeling that the old man was in trouble. After asking, I figured out that the old man's problem was that he was 20 cents short.
The lady behind the counter had the old man in such a state, looking for a further 20 cents, and he was shaking, obviously looking upset. But instead of letting the man go, she insisted that if his bill wasn't going to be paid in full, the electricity company would probably give a fine on his next bill for unpaid fees.
Hearing this, I got really upset. So I went over and asked the lady behind the counter to give ALL of his money back to the old man and I handed her my debit card and paid the bill for him.
The old man was asking “why are you doing this？” as he began crying. I told him because it was the right thing to do. He thanked me over and over and smiled at my two kids on his way out of the post office.
The best part of this event was that the old man walked out of the post office and straight to Woolies and bought a full basket of food, which he wouldn't have been able to buy had I not done that at the post office.

Unfortunately, the old man's wife passed away last year, and he had lived alone since then. We felt really sorry for him.
Our family decided to help improve the old man's situation. We visited him regularly and spared time to accompany him. At the same time, we did all kinds of housework for him. We helped him with washing, cooking, cleaning and so on. We often bought vegetables, fruits and food for him because he was unable to go out easily. Besides, we went to the post office to pay his bills for him. He didn't have to stand in line to pay his electricity bill in person! Seeing him live a easier life, we had a sense of achievement.

[2023·湖南省高三适应性考试]Sometimes it takes a work of art to give the inspiration for advances in science. For example, Elon Musk's dream of humans living on other planets was first inspired by Isaac Asimov's Foundation book series. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, a massive fan of the Star Trek television series, founded his very own space company Blue Origin. Let's explore some of the technologies from science fiction that have been brought to life.
Remote control
Frank Herbert's 1965 novel Dune features a small flying robot device that is piloted remotely, one of the earliest appearances of drones in science fiction. With the first permit for commercial drone use in the US given in 2006, drones became a reality, and can now be found taking on multiple roles in photography, farming and military.
From thin air
The television show Star Trek, first appearing on screens in 1966, inspired science. One of the most unexpected examples may be the 3D printer. In the program, a device can create any object desired within a matter of seconds. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, US, developed a 3D printer in 2019 that shapes objects using rays of light. The device uses light to alter the density of resin (树脂), changing the material from a liquid to a solid in order to shape the desired object.
Starting the heart
One of the first sci fi novels, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley has had a huge impact on science. Earl Bakken, the inventor of the pacemaker (起搏器), a device placed into the chest that helps the heart to pump blood using small electrical impulses, was inspired by the 1931 movie adaptation of the book. “What impressed me the most... was the creative spark of Dr Frankenstein's electricity，” Bakken told the Atlantic. Defibrillators (除颤仪), which restart the heart with an electrical current after a cardiac arrest (心脏停搏), also resemble the electric shock that gave the monster life.
21．Whose work inspired science
A．Elon Musk's. B．Jeff Bezos'.
C．Frank Herbert's. D．Earl Bakken's.
22．Which of the following can create new things from “nowhere”？
A．Drones. B．3D printer.
C．Pacemakers. D．Defibrillators.
23．Which can be summarized from the passage
A．Science fiction thinks big.
B．Technology flies out of our imagination
C．Imagination leads to advanced civilization.
D．Scientific development relies on technology.

[2023·江苏省高中模拟]In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception of the food in front of us.
Studies have shown, for instance, that eating in front of the TV (or a similar distraction) can increase both hunger and the amount of food consumed. Even simple visual cues, like plate size and lighting, have been shown to affect portion size and consumption.
A new study suggested that our shot term memory also may play a role in appetite. Several hours after a meal, people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they'd eaten but rather by how much food they'd seen in front of them—in other words, how much they remembered eating.
This difference suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brunstrom, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol.
“Hunger isn't controlled solely by the physical characteristics of a recent meal. We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal.” Brunstrom says. “This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought.”
These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our body's response to the food itself. In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380 calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger related hormones, depending on whether the shake's label said it contained 620 or 140 calories. Moreover, the participants reported feeling fuller when they thought they'd consumed a higher calorie shake.
What does this means for our eating habits Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves in to eating less, the new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food avoiding TV and multitasking while eating.
The so called mindful eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says.
24．Which of the following affects our appetite and food intake according to the author
A．When we eat our meals.
B．How fast we eat our meals.
C．What ingredients the food contains.
D．How we perceive the food we eat.
25．What would happen at meal time if you remembered eating a lot in the previous meal
A．You would not feel so hungry.
B．You would have a good appetite.
C．You would not feel like eating at all.
D．You would be more particular about food.
26．Which of the following works best if we plan to control our appetite
A．Picking dishes of the right size.
B．Tricking ourselves into eating less.
C．Choosing food with fewer calories.
D．Concentrating on food while eating.
27．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Good eating habits will contribute to our health.
B．Psychological factors influence our hunger levels.
C．Eating distractions often affect our food digestion.
D．Our food intake is determined by our biological needs.

[2023·浙江省绍兴市一模]Brazilian artist Néle Azevedo is best known for big public art pieces. The artist carves hundreds of 20 centimeter tall ice figures seated with their ankles crossed and places them atop outdoor steps and puts them in city squares all over the world, where they quickly melt. The faceless sculptures drip and pool into small puddles as time passes. Her works have been adopted by environmentalists as a kind of activist art against climate change.
But is it Yes and (mostly) no.
The mass of melting bodies makes a natural connection to the threat humankind faces due to rising global temperatures. “Its close link with that subject is evident，” said the artist. In addition to the threat of global warming itself, the sheer number of sculptures sitting together also calls attention to the fact that we humans are all in it together. “Such kind of threats also finally put man in his place, his fate is along with the destiny of the planet, and he is not the ‘king’ of nature, but an essential element of it，” continues Azevedo on her website.
“I took every characteristic of traditional monuments and made the opposite，” she says. “I made small figures that sit on the floor. It doesn't honor anybody. It does honor the unknown.”
Azevedo explains, “In a few minute action, the rules of the monument are inverted:__in the place of the hero, the unknown; in the place of the solidity of the stone, the momentary process of the ice; in the place of the monument size, the minimum size of the perishable (易毁坏的) bodies.” Originally Azevedo wanted her art to get people thinking about impermanence, and the sight of ice transforming into a puddle of water certainly does that brilliantly.
28．What can we learn about Néle Azevedo's artworks
A．They are put in public places for artists to appreciate.
B．They are adopted as a way of showing artistic talents.
C．They are linked with the threat of climate change.
D．They are considered as a symbol of unity.
29．Which of the following can best replace the word “inverted” in Paragraph 5
A．kept track of
B．turned upside down
C．laid emphasis on
D．taken into account
30．What can be inferred about the square show from the last paragraph
A．It is permanent by nature.
B．It lacks practical influence.
C．It takes long to see the results.
D．It conveys the artist's exact intention.
31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Public Interest in Contemporary Art
B．Ice Figures Transforming into Water
C.Responsibility Demanded of Activist Artists
D．Mini Sculptures Echoing the Climate Crisis

[2023·江苏省高三期中考试]A star athlete at the college where I work recently stopped by my office. After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she was riven by self criticism. “I'm at peak fitness, and I practice hard. How is this happening？” She asked.
This student believes she should be able to control the outcomes of her life by virtue of her hard work. She has a sense that hours on the field should get her exactly where she needs to go. Many students have similar mentality. When they win, they feel powerful and smart. When they fail, they are crushed by self blame. If my achievements are mine to control, they reason, my failures must be entirely my fault, too.
We talk often about young adults struggling with failure because their parents have protected them from discomfort. But there is something else at play: a false promise that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it.
Psychologists have sourced this phenomenon to a misapplication of “mindset” research, which has found that praising children for effort will increase academic performance. A 2018 analysis found that while praising effort over ability may benefit economically disadvantaged students, it does not necessarily help everyone.
One possible explanation comes from Suniya Luthar, who argued in a research paper that for teens in wealthy, pressure cooker communities, “it is not a lack of motivation and perseverance (毅力) that is the big problem. Instead, it is unhealthy perfectionism, and difficulty with backing off when they should, when the desire for achievements is over the top.” They push themselves onward in face of impossible goals. A 2007 study found that teens who refused to give up impossible goals showed higher levels of C reaction protein, a marker of systemic inflammation (全身炎症) linked to heart disease and other medical conditions. A 2014 study showed a connection between the perfectionist tendencies and depression.
The cruel reality is that you can do everything in your power and still fail. Instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things don't go their way, we adults should help students pursue success in healthier ways in part by redefining failure as a feature, not a bug, of learning. At Smith College where I teach, students are asked to explore how setbacks and missteps made them stronger or more effective. We would be wise to remind our kids that life has a way of sucker punching (意外打击) us when we least expect it. It's often the people who learn to say “stuff happens” who get up the fastest.
32．Why was star athlete trapped by self blame
A．She broke down during the match.
B．She didn't try her best in the match.
C．She believed hard work should pay off.
D．She thought she should have practiced harder.
33．What can we learn from Paragraph 5
A．Lack of motivation and perseverance leads to teens' failure.
B．Praising children for effort increases academic performance.
C．Children struggle with failure due to parents' over protection.
D．Unhealthy perfectionism causes physical and emotional stress.
34．According to the author, adults should ________.
A.help students learn from failure
B．protect students from discomfort
C．reward students for their hard work
D．explore the cause of students' failure
35．Which of the following does the author probably agree with
A．Effort equals achievement.
B．Motivation is the key to success.
C．Success is not always under control.
D．Effort is more important than ability.

[2023·山东省高三期中考试]To put into words my time in Antarctica and South Georgia is nearly impossible. I had always described it as a once in a lifetime experience, but as soon as I stepped foot on the continent, I immediately knew I needed to return.
__36__ About 50% of the passengers of our expedition (远征) had been to Antarctica at least once before. This goes to show just how magical of a destination it is.
All your senses will be stimulated...is the best way I can describe the time on the white continent. How tiny you feel next to towering glaciers and icebergs. The icy water moving through your body as you take the infamous Polar Plunge. The learning of heart touching stories of survival from explorers of the past. __37__
Antarctica makes you feel so small and insignificant, in the best way. __38__ You get front row seats to witness the most incredible show: nature. It is as much beautiful as is it cruel. Like seeing a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick. Your heart aches. Then your expedition guide regretfully tells you that a chick that is small in March would have very slim chances of surviving the upcoming winter. The cycle continues, and you're left wondering who to root for.
Things move fast in Antarctica, and every month offers something really unique and special to see. In March, the weather is a bit more unpredictable, and the sea ice is beginning to form again. __39_ In two more weeks, expedition ships would not be able to break through the ice.

Ⅳ.读后续写
[2023·海南省高考全真模拟]My wife, our two kids under 4 and I were in the post office a few weeks ago. We have to go there every month to pay various fees. I was being served when an old man in his eighties, with obvious, significant health issues, was waiting to pay his electricity bill. He was struggling to walk on a walking stick, and his hands and arms were shaking all the time. I knew by feeling that the old man was in trouble. After asking, I figured out that the old man's problem was that he was 20 cents short.
The lady behind the counter had the old man in such a state, looking for a further 20 cents, and he was shaking, obviously looking upset. But instead of letting the man go, she insisted that if his bill wasn't going to be paid in full, the electricity company would probably give a fine on his next bill for unpaid fees.
Hearing this, I got really upset. So I went over and asked the lady behind the counter to give ALL of his money back to the old man and I handed her my debit card and paid the bill for him.
The old man was asking “why are you doing this？” as he began crying. I told him because it was the right thing to do. He thanked me over and over and smiled at my two kids on his way out of the post office.
The best part of this event was that the old man walked out of the post office and straight to Woolies and bought a full basket of food, which he wouldn't have been able to buy had I not done that at the post office.
