专题03 七选五10篇
（2023·山东·德州市第一中学校联考模拟预测）When you’re put on the spot, it can feel like a sink-or-swim situation, which can be tense, stressful and pressurizing, especially when you deliver a public speaking. 1
Adjust your use of language
When we feel ourselves to be on a stage, we sometimes use words that are cold, formal, and passive. We do this because we’re anxious and seek to establish authority. Let’s say you’re a doctor, and you’ re standing in front of a group of your peers. You might find yourself making statements like, “It is significant that doctors help solve this problem.” 2 When you say, “We must solve this problem,” you are speaking more simply and persuasively. The word “we” is more easygoing. When you use language like this, you get closer to actually solving the problem simply by directly pointing out that it is all of yours to solve.
Pose more questions
Questions are two-way interactions. 3 No longer are you alone “onstage” in front of your audience — you’re engaging in a dialogue. Even when you’ re making a statement, you can think of it as an answer to an unasked question. That in itself can give the encounter a conversational feel and lower the pressure you might experience. The technique makes the presentations more connected and conversational, allowing you to feel more relaxed. Just ask questions the audience might have and answering them.
Beware of the memorisation trap
4 But memorisation also can come back to haunt us. Giving our communication the feel of a formal, over-rehearsed presentation, it can make us nervous as we struggle to remember a great deal that we’d thought of in advance of the actual conversation. Instead of rushing to memorise, try writing out what you’d like to say and then turning that into a short, bullet-pointed outline. Doing so allows you to think through the material in detail while giving you a brief structure that’s easier to keep in mind. 5
A．You will become more connected with your peers.
B．Writing down what we might want to say can help.
C．You and others around you enter into a back-and-forth.
D．Here are three ways that you can improve your delivery.
E．Conversations are more casual and familiar than performances.
F．Language like this creates distance between yourself and others.
G．Using that structure, you can more confidently fill in the gaps as you go.
（2023上·山东潍坊·高三统考阶段练习）Napping (小睡) at midday keeps afternoon sleepiness away. 6 Shortly after lunch, silence fills the whole office building, for the employees are now taking a nap break. An unspoken agreement is shared that each deserves a personal napping space without disturbance.
7 Liu Zongyuan, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, once impressed us by a vivid description of a joyful and leisurely nap time. Napping at noon might date from the late Eastern Han Dynasty. According to the story “San Gu Mao Lu”, Zhuge Kongming was in a sound nap when Liu Bei came visiting him for the third time.
Some researchers interpret the Chinese napping habit in the light of eating habits. Chinese people in the north eat wheaten food primarily and those in the south rely on rice. Biology tells us that wheaten food and rice contain a lot of glucose (葡萄糖). Normally we Chinese get on a full stomach after lunch, so the glucose-rich Chinese diet raises the level of blood glucose. 8
These explanations are seemingly reasonable. 9 Even days of conversation to Western diet, instead of wheaten food or rice, cannot ease my post-lunch laziness, hence a nap at a quiet place is desperate.
Noon nap occurs everywhere: customers napping on a sofa or Simmons, park-goers on a bench or on the lawn, are frequently noticed on newspapers and the Internet. 10 Those who nap in public places embarrass passers-by, which is not socially tolerable. On the contrary, a self-disciplined person preferring to nap in a private space is regarded as a napper with decency.
A．It leads to sleepiness.
B．They, however, do not work on me.
C．It casts its spell on summer days particularly.
D．Noon-time napping is a kind of self-protection.
E．Napping is also a cultural behavior with a long history.
F．Be that as it may, your napping places make a difference.
G．Otherwise, only a lie-in in the morning could help me get enough energy for the whole afternoon.
（2023上·山东德州·高三德州市第一中学校考阶段练习）I was always a reader. As a kid, I walked to the library several times a week and stayed up late reading with a flashlight.
As an English major at university, I realised it had been more than two years since I had read most of familiar titles in my memory. I had stopped reading gradually, the way one heals or dies. 11 I joined book clubs that I never attended. I lingered between the shelves in a bookstore for hours as if catching up with old friends. I requested a library book everyone was reading, only to return it unread.
But it was clear to me: I was becoming a person I did not know. I was painfully aware of the glaring hypocrisy(虚伪) in my life. I defended the virtues of bookstores in the age of online retailing and bought books whenever I got the chance, but I hardly read them. They sat on every surface until my house appeared to wear books the way one wears clothes. 12 .
The next time I visited a dollar bookstore, I bought myself five titles for myself. My resolution to “read a book” echoed in my head. I picked up one I’d bought solely for its poetic title. 13 The narrator was an old man, but he sounded more like what a young woman thought an old man might sound like. Whenever I was tempted to give up on it, I thought of my resolution.
14 I loved the alternating (交替的) points of view. I carried the book to work. I read at lunch and on my walk home, occasionally lifting my eyes to avoid strangers. Back home I stayed up late, finally finishing it. 15 The last time I’d pulled an all-nighter to read, I was 12 and the book was Little Women.
A．I was proud of myself.
B．I had a hard time getting into it.
C．I still loved the idea of reading.
D．I resolved I would find myself back.
E．I tried to maintain my bookish image.
F．I sat on the floor among the poetry, and I read it aloud again and again.
G．I pushed through the first two chapters and discovered a new narrator in the third.
（2023上·河北沧州·高三校联考阶段练习）In a world-record effort to help save a rare sea creature, Australian scientists have released hundreds of baby seahorses into the wild. The tiny seahorses are endangered, and the scientists hope the new seahorses will help their numbers grow.
Seahorses are small, thin fish with a long mouth. They’re called “seahorses” because they look a bit like horses. Even though they’re fish, seahorses aren’t great swimmers. 16
There are over 40 different kinds of seahorses. They mostly live in warm, shallow waters around the world. They are often found in coral reefs, in beds of seagrass, and areas where rivers empty into the sea. 17 They eat tiny sea creatures and are eaten by bigger sea animals, such as crabs.
Many kinds of seahorses are threatened, often by the actions of humans. 18 They are also sometimes caught by accident when boats are trying to catch other fish.
19 Males have a special pouch (育儿袋) that allows them to carry over 100 babies at a time. The tiny babies are born alive and can swim right away. When they’re born. the babies are about the size of a grain of rice.
This is the fifth time the scientists have released seahorses into the area. and this is a new record, 20 The researchers say about 90% of them survived, which is unusually high. The researchers put tiny tags under the skin of many of the seahorses to help track them in the future.
A．Seahorse babies are easy to carry.
B．Around 380 seahorses were released.
C．Sometimes they’re caught and sold as pets.
D．People should be prohibited from catching seahorses.
E．Seahorses form an important part of the ocean’s food chain.
F．They often use their tails to hold onto something in the water.
G．Seahorses are unusual because it’s the males who carry the babies.
（2023上·山东·高三校联考阶段练习）The concept of polymaths(博学者), or the pursuit of knowledge across various fields, is increasingly seen as necessary for success in the 21st century. Here are some reasons, especially for children.
●Adapting to a changing job market. In the 21st century, automation and globalization have significantly impacted the job market. Machines have replaced many traditional jobs while new industries have emerged to take their place. 21 Polymaths are better suited for this evolving job market.
● 22 Innovation drives economic growth and technological advancement. With their broad knowledge base across disciplines, polymaths are more likely to generate innovative ideas and solutions to complex problems. Encouraging children to be polymaths can contribute to developing an innovative generation better equipped to tackle future challenges.
●Developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Polymaths are known for thinking critically and addressing problems from multiple perspectives. Exposing children to various fields of study teaches them to approach issues and analyze information more effectively. This skill set is essential for navigating the complexities of the modern world. 23
●Enhancing interpersonal and teamwork skills. 24 Polymaths’ varied knowledge base can bridge gaps between different fields and facilitate teamwork. Encouraging children to be polymaths can help them develop strong interpersonal skills, enabling them to work effectively with others and contribute to a more harmonious society.
●Being complementary(互补的)to artificial intelligence(AI). Polymaths will be invaluable in a future where AI is easily accessible. 25 Furthermore, their diverse skill sets and fund of knowledge promote adaptability, allowing them to use AI effectively.

（2023·山东·统考一模）Some of the best road trips are unplanned. You simply grab a few items, jump in a car and set off. However, this approach involves some risk. 26 That’s why the first rule of road trip planning is to bring along whatever you might need to have fun. Some food, a guitar, and a cooler full of drinks can go a long way.
Planning a road trip can be almost as fun as the trip itself. Some well-designed travel guides may be of great help. 27 For the logically-minded, the management of speed, fuel, accommodation and timing details can present a rewarding journey.
28 Highways make it possible to drive across an entire country without seeing anything or meeting anyone. The more you skip freeways in favor of scenic highways, the more you’re likely to get out of your trip.
Once you’ve figured out your plan roughly, fill in the details, and bear in mind that maps and satellite navigation systems are not always up to date. 29 Remember, the more you prepare now, the better equipped you’ll be if you decide to change your trip later or have to deal with an unforeseen problem.
Booking accommodation and having backup plans can make or break a trip, especially if you want to visit some remote byways with limited accommodation opportunities. 30 In some areas, especially the American West, gas stations can be a hundred miles away.
A．You may end up in a boring part of town.
B．You can find this information online.
C．When planning your route, consider what kinds of roads to take.
D．Also, be sure to investigate fuel availability where you’re headed.
E．It’s good to take an emergency phone with you.
F．Research as much as possible and cross-reference your sources.
G．A quick look through them can fuel your inspiration.
（2023上·山东·高三校联考开学考试）A new citizen-science project will improve the chances of finding ET
Ever since 1993, when funding from America’s space agency, NASA, was cut, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, which scans the sky looking for radio signals from intelligent aliens, has been inventive in its methods. In particular, it was one of the pioneers of the field of citizen science. 31
In 1999 it started SETI home, an application that uses spare processing power on volunteers’ computers to filter the information generated by its radio telescopes. These days, SETI home boasts more than one million users.
On February 29th the SETI Institute launched another citizen-science project. This time, though, its researchers are less interested in the digital computers on volunteers’ desks than in the biological ones between their ears. 32 It is expected to distinguish interesting signals from the noise of interference generated by the inhabitants of planet Earth—and to do so in real time.
33 To do this, the SETI Institute use san instrument called the Allen Telescope Array—a group of 42 small radio-telescope dishes in California, partly paid for by the co-founder of Microsoft.
Unfortunately, some parts of the radio covering scope are full of signals created by Earthlings, rather than aliens. Everything from passing satellites and space junk to ground-based radar and even the starting systems of nearby cars can generate fake radio waves that confuse the software. 34
But SETILive will bring them into play. 35 It is hoped that they will be able to filter out the noise and spot potentially interesting signals buried behind the radio mass from Earth. “Those interesting signals will not necessarily have come from alien civilisations.” says Chris Lintott, an astrophysicist at Oxford University who helps to run Zooniverse, a citizen-science website that manages several projects, including SETILive.
A．That’s where interested amateurs help professionals process data.
B．Rather than examining on stored data, aliens are hunted on the fly.
C．Volunteers working on SETIhome have found plenty of interesting signals.
D．It will do so by feeding data from these noisy parts of the scope to its users.
E．SETI is to detect distinctive radio-frequency emissions from advanced aliens.
F．Until now, the project has tackled it by ignoring the crowded bits of the scope.
G．SETI Live, as the project is called, uses brain capacity to solve a lingering headache.
（2023上·山东日照·高三校联考开学考试）Some parents manage to guide their kids through homework moments with ease. 36 However, the large majority of us are trying to avoid our own breakdowns in the face of our children’s homework.
While blaming your children for not having started their homework earlier may be your natural instinct (本能), it will only make them shut down or yell at you. Children who feel terrible about procrastinating (拖延) are more likely to have anxiety and negative feelings that will only fuel their continued procrastination. So take a deep breath to calm down. 37
There are all kinds of reasons kids avoid doing their homework. Maybe they’re concerned about what a teacher will think. 38 Maybe they’re distracted by something that happened in school that day.
Once you figure out what’s driving your children’s procrastination, you can strategize with them. Start by removing temptation when possible. 39 And emphasize that short-term pleasure equals long-term pain. Then remind them that the immediate instinct to procrastinate and play video games will make life miserable later.
40 If kids don’t understand why they’re doing the work, they’re more likely to be frustrated. For example, your child might ask, “Why do I need to know algebra I’ll never use it when I’m older.” You can tell the truth: “You probably won’t need to know about variables in everyday life, but learning algebra will give you a framework for understanding how to break down and solve complex tasks.”
So when your kids are overwhelmed, help them figure out why, and then model strategies that foster independence, confidence, and well-being.
A．Easier said than done.
B．Others choose to hire tutors.
C．Working independently is key to avoiding it.
D．Finally, explain the importance of the assignment.
E．All possible barriers to success should be removed.
F．Or they are worried their work won’t measure up to a friend’s.
G．And try to figure out how to help them manage the tasks at hand.
（2023上·山东青岛·高三统考开学考试）It is commonly thought that productivity involves doing several things at once. 41 Newport, the author of Deep Work, describes the benefits of focusing on one thing and doing it with excellence. He explains deep work as “the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively (认知地) demanding task.” 42
According to Newport, deep work is an invaluable skill in today’s economy. It allows you to learn difficult things quickly. Most people are distracted when they work, so if you learn to work without distraction, that gives you an advantage. 43 Developing excellence in one’s craft can be deeply satisfying.
It’s important to schedule deep work into your day. Otherwise, it’s easy to let your time fill up with shallow work. Newport recommends doing deep work as your first task of the day. 44 Shallow work does need to get done, but if you save it for later in the day, you can get your deep work done, too.
Because deep work is by definition cognitively demanding, you won’t be able to do it all day. Beginners can usually only focus on deep work for approximately an hour, and even experts have trouble going more than four hours. 45 If you really focus, you’ll be surprised at how much you accomplish in a few hours.
A．So set reasonable goals for yourself.
B．Concentration is an increasingly valuable skill.
C．That way you get it done before distractions build up.
D．But the secret to success is the opposite of multitasking.
E．Without smartphones, you fall into deep work more easily.
F．It also enables you to produce to the best of your ability and acquire new skills quickly.
G．It differs from shallow work, which consists of simple tasks performed while distracted.
（2023·山东潍坊·潍坊一中校考模拟预测）One Second Every Day
I’ve been in advertising for eight years and used to work a lot of late nights and weekends for numerous projects. 46 One day I watched a talk called “The power of time off”. It’s about how every seven years, the speaker takes a year off from work so he can do his own creative projects. 47 I decided I had to do that. I need to take time to start my own creative ideas.
The first project ends up being something I call “One Second Every Day”. Basically I record one second of every day for the rest of my life, combining these moments into one single continuous video until I can’t record them anymore. 48 There’re many things I have no recollection of unless someone brings them up, and I think, “Oh, that’s something I did.”
49 On a good day, I’ll have maybe four seconds I want to choose. I’ll just have to narrow them down to one, but even narrow them down to that one allows me to remember the other three anyway.
I don’t use any filters (滤镜), just trying to catch the moment as much as possible as it is. I started a rule of the first person view. Early on, I thought I should have a couple of videos where people would see me, but I realized that wasn’t the way to go. 50
The project has many possibilities. I encourage you all to record just a small piece of your life every day, so you can never forget that day and treasure every moment.
A．It instantly inspired me.
B．The purpose is to remember what I’ve done.
C．I’m always energetic when doing things I love.
D．People might have different interpretations of it.
E．It’s difficult, sometimes, to pick that one second.
F．But I never had time for one I wanted to work on on my own.
G．The essence of my project should be recording the thing as I actually see it.

（2023·山东·德州市第一中学校联考模拟预测）When you’re put on the spot, it can feel like a sink-or-swim situation, which can be tense, stressful and pressurizing, especially when you deliver a public speaking. 1
Adjust your use of language
When we feel ourselves to be on a stage, we sometimes use words that are cold, formal, and passive. We do this because we’re anxious and seek to establish authority. Let’s say you’re a doctor, and you’ re standing in front of a group of your peers. You might find yourself making statements like, “It is significant that doctors help solve this problem.” 2 When you say, “We must solve this problem,” you are speaking more simply and persuasively. The word “we” is more easygoing. When you use language like this, you get closer to actually solving the problem simply by directly pointing out that it is all of yours to solve.
Pose more questions
Questions are two-way interactions. 3 No longer are you alone “onstage” in front of your audience — you’re engaging in a dialogue. Even when you’ re making a statement, you can think of it as an answer to an unasked question. That in itself can give the encounter a conversational feel and lower the pressure you might experience. The technique makes the presentations more connected and conversational, allowing you to feel more relaxed. Just ask questions the audience might have and answering them.
Beware of the memorisation trap
4 But memorisation also can come back to haunt us. Giving our communication the feel of a formal, over-rehearsed presentation, it can make us nervous as we struggle to remember a great deal that we’d thought of in advance of the actual conversation. Instead of rushing to memorise, try writing out what you’d like to say and then turning that into a short, bullet-pointed outline. Doing so allows you to think through the material in detail while giving you a brief structure that’s easier to keep in mind. 5
A．You will become more connected with your peers.
B．Writing down what we might want to say can help.
C．You and others around you enter into a back-and-forth.
D．Here are three ways that you can improve your delivery.
E．Conversations are more casual and familiar than performances.
F．Language like this creates distance between yourself and others.
G．Using that structure, you can more confidently fill in the gaps as you go.
（2023上·山东潍坊·高三统考阶段练习）Napping (小睡) at midday keeps afternoon sleepiness away. 6 Shortly after lunch, silence fills the whole office building, for the employees are now taking a nap break. An unspoken agreement is shared that each deserves a personal napping space without disturbance.
7 Liu Zongyuan, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, once impressed us by a vivid description of a joyful and leisurely nap time. Napping at noon might date from the late Eastern Han Dynasty. According to the story “San Gu Mao Lu”, Zhuge Kongming was in a sound nap when Liu Bei came visiting him for the third time.
Some researchers interpret the Chinese napping habit in the light of eating habits. Chinese people in the north eat wheaten food primarily and those in the south rely on rice. Biology tells us that wheaten food and rice contain a lot of glucose (葡萄糖). Normally we Chinese get on a full stomach after lunch, so the glucose-rich Chinese diet raises the level of blood glucose. 8
These explanations are seemingly reasonable. 9 Even days of conversation to Western diet, instead of wheaten food or rice, cannot ease my post-lunch laziness, hence a nap at a quiet place is desperate.
Noon nap occurs everywhere: customers napping on a sofa or Simmons, park-goers on a bench or on the lawn, are frequently noticed on newspapers and the Internet. 10 Those who nap in public places embarrass passers-by, which is not socially tolerable. On the contrary, a self-disciplined person preferring to nap in a private space is regarded as a napper with decency.
A．It leads to sleepiness.
B．They, however, do not work on me.
C．It casts its spell on summer days particularly.
D．Noon-time napping is a kind of self-protection.
E．Napping is also a cultural behavior with a long history.
F．Be that as it may, your napping places make a difference.
G．Otherwise, only a lie-in in the morning could help me get enough energy for the whole afternoon.
（2023上·山东德州·高三德州市第一中学校考阶段练习）I was always a reader. As a kid, I walked to the library several times a week and stayed up late reading with a flashlight.
As an English major at university, I realised it had been more than two years since I had read most of familiar titles in my memory. I had stopped reading gradually, the way one heals or dies. 11 I joined book clubs that I never attended. I lingered between the shelves in a bookstore for hours as if catching up with old friends. I requested a library book everyone was reading, only to return it unread.
But it was clear to me: I was becoming a person I did not know. I was painfully aware of the glaring hypocrisy(虚伪) in my life. I defended the virtues of bookstores in the age of online retailing and bought books whenever I got the chance, but I hardly read them. They sat on every surface until my house appeared to wear books the way one wears clothes. 12 .
The next time I visited a dollar bookstore, I bought myself five titles for myself. My resolution to “read a book” echoed in my head. I picked up one I’d bought solely for its poetic title. 13 The narrator was an old man, but he sounded more like what a young woman thought an old man might sound like. Whenever I was tempted to give up on it, I thought of my resolution.
14 I loved the alternating (交替的) points of view. I carried the book to work. I read at lunch and on my walk home, occasionally lifting my eyes to avoid strangers. Back home I stayed up late, finally finishing it. 15 The last time I’d pulled an all-nighter to read, I was 12 and the book was Little Women.
A．I was proud of myself.
B．I had a hard time getting into it.
C．I still loved the idea of reading.
D．I resolved I would find myself back.
E．I tried to maintain my bookish image.
F．I sat on the floor among the poetry, and I read it aloud again and again.
G．I pushed through the first two chapters and discovered a new narrator in the third.
（2023上·河北沧州·高三校联考阶段练习）In a world-record effort to help save a rare sea creature, Australian scientists have released hundreds of baby seahorses into the wild. The tiny seahorses are endangered, and the scientists hope the new seahorses will help their numbers grow.
Seahorses are small, thin fish with a long mouth. They’re called “seahorses” because they look a bit like horses. Even though they’re fish, seahorses aren’t great swimmers. 16
There are over 40 different kinds of seahorses. They mostly live in warm, shallow waters around the world. They are often found in coral reefs, in beds of seagrass, and areas where rivers empty into the sea. 17 They eat tiny sea creatures and are eaten by bigger sea animals, such as crabs.
Many kinds of seahorses are threatened, often by the actions of humans. 18 They are also sometimes caught by accident when boats are trying to catch other fish.
19 Males have a special pouch (育儿袋) that allows them to carry over 100 babies at a time. The tiny babies are born alive and can swim right away. When they’re born. the babies are about the size of a grain of rice.
This is the fifth time the scientists have released seahorses into the area. and this is a new record, 20 The researchers say about 90% of them survived, which is unusually high. The researchers put tiny tags under the skin of many of the seahorses to help track them in the future.
A．Seahorse babies are easy to carry.
B．Around 380 seahorses were released.
C．Sometimes they’re caught and sold as pets.
D．People should be prohibited from catching seahorses.
E．Seahorses form an important part of the ocean’s food chain.
F．They often use their tails to hold onto something in the water.
G．Seahorses are unusual because it’s the males who carry the babies.
（2023上·山东·高三校联考阶段练习）The concept of polymaths(博学者), or the pursuit of knowledge across various fields, is increasingly seen as necessary for success in the 21st century. Here are some reasons, especially for children.
●Adapting to a changing job market. In the 21st century, automation and globalization have significantly impacted the job market. Machines have replaced many traditional jobs while new industries have emerged to take their place. 21 Polymaths are better suited for this evolving job market.
● 22 Innovation drives economic growth and technological advancement. With their broad knowledge base across disciplines, polymaths are more likely to generate innovative ideas and solutions to complex problems. Encouraging children to be polymaths can contribute to developing an innovative generation better equipped to tackle future challenges.
●Developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Polymaths are known for thinking critically and addressing problems from multiple perspectives. Exposing children to various fields of study teaches them to approach issues and analyze information more effectively. This skill set is essential for navigating the complexities of the modern world. 23
●Enhancing interpersonal and teamwork skills. 24 Polymaths’ varied knowledge base can bridge gaps between different fields and facilitate teamwork. Encouraging children to be polymaths can help them develop strong interpersonal skills, enabling them to work effectively with others and contribute to a more harmonious society.

（2023·山东·统考一模）Some of the best road trips are unplanned. You simply grab a few items, jump in a car and set off. However, this approach involves some risk. 26 That’s why the first rule of road trip planning is to bring along whatever you might need to have fun. Some food, a guitar, and a cooler full of drinks can go a long way.
Planning a road trip can be almost as fun as the trip itself. Some well-designed travel guides may be of great help. 27 For the logically-minded, the management of speed, fuel, accommodation and timing details can present a rewarding journey.
28 Highways make it possible to drive across an entire country without seeing anything or meeting anyone. The more you skip freeways in favor of scenic highways, the more you’re likely to get out of your trip.
Once you’ve figured out your plan roughly, fill in the details, and bear in mind that maps and satellite navigation systems are not always up to date. 29 Remember, the more you prepare now, the better equipped you’ll be if you decide to change your trip later or have to deal with an unforeseen problem.
Booking accommodation and having backup plans can make or break a trip, especially if you want to visit some remote byways with limited accommodation opportunities. 30 In some areas, especially the American West, gas stations can be a hundred miles away.
A．You may end up in a boring part of town.
B．You can find this information online.
C．When planning your route, consider what kinds of roads to take.
D．Also, be sure to investigate fuel availability where you’re headed.
E．It’s good to take an emergency phone with you.
F．Research as much as possible and cross-reference your sources.
G．A quick look through them can fuel your inspiration.
（2023上·山东·高三校联考开学考试）A new citizen-science project will improve the chances of finding ET
Ever since 1993, when funding from America’s space agency, NASA, was cut, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, which scans the sky looking for radio signals from intelligent aliens, has been inventive in its methods. In particular, it was one of the pioneers of the field of citizen science. 31
In 1999 it started SETI home, an application that uses spare processing power on volunteers’ computers to filter the information generated by its radio telescopes. These days, SETI home boasts more than one million users.
On February 29th the SETI Institute launched another citizen-science project. This time, though, its researchers are less interested in the digital computers on volunteers’ desks than in the biological ones between their ears. 32 It is expected to distinguish interesting signals from the noise of interference generated by the inhabitants of planet Earth—and to do so in real time.
33 To do this, the SETI Institute use san instrument called the Allen Telescope Array—a group of 42 small radio-telescope dishes in California, partly paid for by the co-founder of Microsoft.
Unfortunately, some parts of the radio covering scope are full of signals created by Earthlings, rather than aliens. Everything from passing satellites and space junk to ground-based radar and even the starting systems of nearby cars can generate fake radio waves that confuse the software. 34
But SETILive will bring them into play. 35 It is hoped that they will be able to filter out the noise and spot potentially interesting signals buried behind the radio mass from Earth. “Those interesting signals will not necessarily have come from alien civilisations.” says Chris Lintott, an astrophysicist at Oxford University who helps to run Zooniverse, a citizen-science website that manages several projects, including SETILive.
A．That’s where interested amateurs help professionals process data.
B．Rather than examining on stored data, aliens are hunted on the fly.
C．Volunteers working on SETIhome have found plenty of interesting signals.
D．It will do so by feeding data from these noisy parts of the scope to its users.
E．SETI is to detect distinctive radio-frequency emissions from advanced aliens.
F．Until now, the project has tackled it by ignoring the crowded bits of the scope.
G．SETI Live, as the project is called, uses brain capacity to solve a lingering headache.
（2023上·山东日照·高三校联考开学考试）Some parents manage to guide their kids through homework moments with ease. 36 However, the large majority of us are trying to avoid our own breakdowns in the face of our children’s homework.
While blaming your children for not having started their homework earlier may be your natural instinct (本能), it will only make them shut down or yell at you. Children who feel terrible about procrastinating (拖延) are more likely to have anxiety and negative feelings that will only fuel their continued procrastination. So take a deep breath to calm down. 37
There are all kinds of reasons kids avoid doing their homework. Maybe they’re concerned about what a teacher will think. 38 Maybe they’re distracted by something that happened in school that day.
Once you figure out what’s driving your children’s procrastination, you can strategize with them. Start by removing temptation when possible. 39 And emphasize that short-term pleasure equals long-term pain. Then remind them that the immediate instinct to procrastinate and play video games will make life miserable later.
40 If kids don’t understand why they’re doing the work, they’re more likely to be frustrated. For example, your child might ask, “Why do I need to know algebra I’ll never use it when I’m older.” You can tell the truth: “You probably won’t need to know about variables in everyday life, but learning algebra will give you a framework for understanding how to break down and solve complex tasks.”
So when your kids are overwhelmed, help them figure out why, and then model strategies that foster independence, confidence, and well-being.
A．Easier said than done.
B．Others choose to hire tutors.
C．Working independently is key to avoiding it.
D．Finally, explain the importance of the assignment.
E．All possible barriers to success should be removed.
F．Or they are worried their work won’t measure up to a friend’s.
G．And try to figure out how to help them manage the tasks at hand.
（2023上·山东青岛·高三统考开学考试）It is commonly thought that productivity involves doing several things at once. 41 Newport, the author of Deep Work, describes the benefits of focusing on one thing and doing it with excellence. He explains deep work as “the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively (认知地) demanding task.” 42
According to Newport, deep work is an invaluable skill in today’s economy. It allows you to learn difficult things quickly. Most people are distracted when they work, so if you learn to work without distraction, that gives you an advantage. 43 Developing excellence in one’s craft can be deeply satisfying.
It’s important to schedule deep work into your day. Otherwise, it’s easy to let your time fill up with shallow work. Newport recommends doing deep work as your first task of the day. 44 Shallow work does need to get done, but if you save it for later in the day, you can get your deep work done, too.
Because deep work is by definition cognitively demanding, you won’t be able to do it all day. Beginners can usually only focus on deep work for approximately an hour, and even experts have trouble going more than four hours. 45 If you really focus, you’ll be surprised at how much you accomplish in a few hours.
A．So set reasonable goals for yourself.
B．Concentration is an increasingly valuable skill.
C．That way you get it done before distractions build up.
D．But the secret to success is the opposite of multitasking.
E．Without smartphones, you fall into deep work more easily.
F．It also enables you to produce to the best of your ability and acquire new skills quickly.
G．It differs from shallow work, which consists of simple tasks performed while distracted.
（2023·山东潍坊·潍坊一中校考模拟预测）One Second Every Day
I’ve been in advertising for eight years and used to work a lot of late nights and weekends for numerous projects. 46 One day I watched a talk called “The power of time off”. It’s about how every seven years, the speaker takes a year off from work so he can do his own creative projects. 47 I decided I had to do that. I need to take time to start my own creative ideas.
The first project ends up being something I call “One Second Every Day”. Basically I record one second of every day for the rest of my life, combining these moments into one single continuous video until I can’t record them anymore. 48 There’re many things I have no recollection of unless someone brings them up, and I think, “Oh, that’s something I did.”
49 On a good day, I’ll have maybe four seconds I want to choose. I’ll just have to narrow them down to one, but even narrow them down to that one allows me to remember the other three anyway.
I don’t use any filters (滤镜), just trying to catch the moment as much as possible as it is. I started a rule of the first person view. Early on, I thought I should have a couple of videos where people would see me, but I realized that wasn’t the way to go. 50
The project has many possibilities. I encourage you all to record just a small piece of your life every day, so you can never forget that day and treasure every moment.
A．It instantly inspired me.
B．The purpose is to remember what I’ve done.
C．I’m always energetic when doing things I love.
D．People might have different interpretations of it.
E．It’s difficult, sometimes, to pick that one second.
F．But I never had time for one I wanted to work on on my own.
G．The essence of my project should be recording the thing as I actually see it.

I’ll just have to narrow them down to one, but even narrow them down to that one allows me to remember the other three anyway.(在美好的一天，我大概有四秒钟的时间可以选择。我只需要把它们缩小到一个，但即使缩小到一个也能让我记住其他三个)”讲到在美好的一天里，作者想要多录制三秒钟，他只是把它们压缩到一秒钟，但是即使压缩到了只有一秒钟，也足以让他记住其他三秒钟，说明作者有时只能选择一秒钟，E项“It’s difficult, sometimes, to pick that one second.(有时候只能选择一秒钟很难)”是对下文内容的总结，说明只能选择一秒很难，因此引起下文，符合语境。故选E。
50．空前说“I don’t use any filters (滤镜), just trying to catch the moment as much as possible as it is. I started a rule of the first person view. Early on, I thought I should have a couple of videos where people would see me, but I realized that wasn’t the way to go.(我没有使用任何滤镜，只是尽可能地捕捉那一刻。我开始了第一人称视角的规则。早些时候，我想我应该有几个视频，让人们看到我，但我意识到这不是我要走的路)”，说明这不是作者想要的，因此空格处应该说作者真正想要的是什么，G项“The essence of my project should be recording the thing as I actually see it.(我的项目的本质应该是记录我实际看到的东西)”说明了作者的项目的本质，因此承接上文，符合语境。故选G。
