（2024·临沂高二下期末）Is it possible that there are basic myths and lies that are ruining your life， holding back your career or justifying an unhappy or unfulfilled life？
The little things we believe or tell ourselves can go a long way towards affecting our success.Here’s what Greg McKeown， author and Young Global Leader at World Economic Forum， had to say.
Why do capable people fail to break through to the next level？ It’s a question McKeown began pursuing an answer to when he quit law school 15 years ago.“The answer to the question， to my great surprise， is success，” he wrote in his post 12 Myths That Lead to a Busy， Unfulfilling Life.
“I found that success can be a catalyst （催化剂） for failure，” McKeown wrote.What often happens， he said， is that successful people get disturbed by small things.
He pointed to 12 big myths that can lead to a stressful， unsatisfying career and life.Among them：
“If everyone is doing it， then I need to do it. Let the fear of missing out consume you.Buy into the cultural belief that glorifies being busy and checking social media and email constantly.Don’t pay attention to the quiet voice telling you a different life is possible.Just go with the crowd.The truth：There is a joy in missing out.Discover it.
“I’ll stay up late and get it done.If you ever mention sleep to someone remember to talk about how little you’ve had lately.Boast about getting five hours last night， or about how you pulled an all-nighter earlier this week.It’s okay to be tired and to admit it.But don’t show weakness — or worse， laziness — by suggesting you need a full eight hours.The truth： Sleep is for high performers.”
The lesson is simple.“When organising your life， there are only two choices： The disciplined pursuit of the essential or the undisciplined pursuit of the nonessential，” McKeown wrote.“And that matters because if you don’t control your life， someone else will.”
1.What was Greg McKeown focusing on when he quit law school？（ ）
A.Why many people give up their dreams.
B.Why capable people can’t achieve success.
C.What is the secret of many people’s success.
D.What keeps capable people from winning greater success.
2.Why can success be a catalyst for failure according to Greg McKeown？（ ）
A.Successful people will become proud.
B.Success may offer people more challenges.
C.Successful people won’t work hard any more.
D.Success can prevent people from concentrating.
3.What does Greg McKeown advise us to do？（ ）
A.Go with the crowd. B.Check email regularly.
C.Follow your own course. D.Check social media often.
4.In Paragraph 7， Greg McKeown stressed the importance of .（ ）
A.working hard B.managing time
C.getting enough sleep D.combining work and play

（2024·浙江四校高二下联考）“Think of mental work as doing push-ups，” says Josh Davis， author of Two Awesome Hours.Say you want to do 10，000.The most “efficient” way would be to do them all at once without a break.We know， though， that that is impossible.Instead， if we did just a few at a time， between other activities and stretched （延伸） out over weeks， hitting 10，000 would become far more feasible.
“The brain is very much like a muscle in this respect，” Davis writes.“Set up the wrong conditions through constant work and we can accomplish little.Set up the right conditions and there is probably little we can’t do.”
Many of us， though， tend to think of our brains not as muscles， but as a computer： a machine capable of constant work.Not only is that untrue， but pushing ourselves to work for hours without a break can be harmful， some experts say.
“The idea that you can unlimitedly stretch out your deep focus and productivity time is really wrong，” says research scientist Andrew Smart， author of Autopilot.“If you’re constantly doing this， where your physiology is saying ‘I need a break’ but you keep pushing yourself， you get this low-level stress response — and， over time， extraordinarily dangerous.”
One analysis found that long working hours increased the risk of heart disease by 40% — almost as much as smoking （50%）.Another found that people who worked long hours had a much higher risk of stroke， while people who worked more than 11 hours a day were almost 2.5 times more likely to suffer from depression than those who worked seven to eight.In Japan， this has led to the disturbing trend of karoshi， or death by overwork.
If you’re wondering if this means that you might want to consider taking that long-delayed holiday， the answer may be yes.One study of businessmen in Helsinki found that over 26 years， executives and businessmen who took fewer holidays in midlife predicted both earlier deaths and worse health in old age.
5.What does the underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 1 probably mean？（ ）
A.Being effective. B.Being impossible.
C.That can be done. D.That can be refused.
6.What do Josh Davis and Andrew Smart have in common？（ ）
A.They like doing push-ups. B.They support short breaks.
C.They advocate working hard. D.They compare our brains to computers.
7.What did the two analyses in Paragraph 5 indicate？（ ）
A.The risks of some diseases. B.The reasons for poor health.
C.The benefits of taking a holiday. D.The harm of working long hours.
8.What’s the purpose of the last paragraph？（ ）
A.To make a prediction. B.To offer a suggestion.
C.To present an analysis. D.To give an introduction.

（2024·石家庄高二下质检）Every minute， every single day， about a truckload of plastic enters our oceans.Since the 1950s， some 8.3 billion tons of plastic have been produced worldwide， and to date， only 9% of that has been recycled.
We buy a bottle of water， drink it for a few minutes， and toss its permanent packaging “away”.We eat potato chips， finish them， then throw their permanent packaging “away”.We buy produce， take it out of the unnecessary plastic wrap， then throw its permanent packaging “away”.
The cycle is endless， and it happens countless times every single day.But here’s the problem —there is no “away”.Chances are， it ends up polluting our communities， oceans or waterways in some form.
For years， we’ve been told the problem of plastic packaging can be solved through better individual action.But the truth is that we cannot recycle our way out of this mess.
Recycling alone will never stop the flow of plastics into our oceans； we have to slow down the production of all this plastic waste.Think about it： if your home was flooding because you had left the tap on， your first step wouldn’t be to start mopping.You’d first cut the flooding off at its source — the tap.In many ways， our plastics problem is no different.
We need corporations — those like Coca-Cola， Unilever， Starbucks and Nestlé that continue to produce throwaway plastic bottles， cups， and straws — to step up and take real responsibility for the mess they’ve created.Drink companies produce over 500 billion single-use plastic bottles annually； there is no way that we can recycle our way out of a problem of that scale.
This is their crisis to tackle.We will continue to do our part， but it’s time for the world’s largest corporations to do theirs.Some 322 million tons of plastic were produced in 2015， and that number is expected to double by 2025.Now， we must demand a new era that places people and planet over profit and convenience.
9.What does the underlined part “there is no ‘away’” in Paragraph 3 mean？（ ）
A.We can hardly deal with plastic pollution.
B.We can hardly stop using plastic products.
C.The plastic we throw away won’t disappear.
D.The plastic we throw away will do great harm.
10.Why does the author give the example of our home’s flooding？（ ）
A.To encourage us to save water. B.To teach us how to solve a problem.
C.To tell us how serious plastic pollution is. D.To advise us to find the source of a problem.
11.Who should take the biggest responsibility according to the author？（ ）
A.The government. B.The big companies.
C.All the individuals. D.The civil organizations.
12.What’s the purpose of the last paragraph？（ ）
A.To appeal to action. B.To draw a conclusion.
C.To give some suggestions. D.To offer some instructions.

（2024·河南六校高二下联考）Why are the letters on the keyboard not in alphabetical order？ 13.（ ） And so as a grown-up， I decided to research it and write a paper about it.
Let’s turn the clock back. About 150 years ago， all letters and business papers were written by hand. Most likely they were written using a pen that had to be dipped in ink every word or two. Writing was slow and messy.
Then some clever inventors built a machine for typing. 14.（ ） The trouble was that if you hit two keys quickly the levers would jam. Jams were most likely when the two keys were close together on the keyboard. Rearranging the letters could reduce jams.
Christopher Sholes was an American inventor who was most successful in reducing jams. He tried various arrangements， always trying to reduce the need to type two keys that were close together. 15.（ ）
He sold his invention to the Remington Company in the United States. In the 1870s， that company built and sold the first commercially successful typewriters. 16.（ ）
For 100 years or so after the Remington typewriter arrived， vast numbers of people all over the world trained to become touch typists （meaning they could type even without looking much at the keyboard）. 17.（ ） Because so many people became so skilled at using QWERTY， it became very difficult to get everyone to change to any other key arrangement.
A.They had no other choices.
B.They used the QWERTY keyboard.
C.He was a very successful businessman.
D.That question really puzzled me when I was a kid.
E.The first typewriter had the letter keys in alphabetical order.
F.They were employed to type letters and all other kinds of things.
G.The best arrangement he could find was similar to the QWERTY keyboard we all use today.

It was my twelfth birthday， and what I really wanted most was a new bicycle.But I knew that my family couldn’t afford one， so I settled for a bedside table with lockable drawers， a safe place to keep my private stuff.
We went to the charity shop where we found an old dark one.It didn’t look too cool， but I thought that I would paint it to make it look better.
After we took it home， I was getting ready to paint it.When I pulled the drawers out， I felt something stuck to the back.I reached in all the way， and guess what？ A sealed bag with some papers in it.
When I opened the bag， I realised that the papers were official documents.And， wrapped in them were a bunch of ten and twenty dollar bills！ Talk about finding a treasure！ And on my birthday！
“Is this some kind of joke？” I said aloud.I went ahead and read the papers， and it turned out to be a will.Some old lady was leaving her savings for her son and grandchildren.
My mind was going crazy.Was I the luckiest twelve-year-old ever？ With this money I could buy the coolest bicycle.Who knows？
I began counting.When I reached a thousand dollars， my mother was knocking on my bedroom door.I quickly closed the drawer with the money in it.
“Do you want some help？ Is everything all right？” she asked.
No， everything was not right.Actually， my stomach was growling （低吼）.
“I’m okay，” I lied.
When my mother left my room， I lay on my bed， starting thinking.What a dilemma （窘境）！ I wished there were some one I could talk with.Could I keep it and get all kinds of stuff for me and my family？ It wouldn’t be too bad for me to keep it， if I shared it ...right？ Thoughts ran through my mind.But I really didn’t need someone else to give me the answer.

2.B 推理判断题。根据第三段可知，对那些度过了充满压力的一天的工作人员来说，Robbie的陪伴能帮助他们缓解压力。
3.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文可知，作者对 Robbie产生了很深的感情，不愿让它离开自己。但是在Robbie一岁半的时候，作者收到了将Robbie送回的邮件，这对作者来说是很难的。由此可推知，画线词的意思应是“移交”，turn over的含义与之相近。
4.B 标题归纳题。根据首尾段可知，作者从一开始就知道 Robbie是一只“身负使命”的小狗，虽然分别时刻到来时，作者十分不想和Robbie分开，但是想到Robbie终将奔赴更高的目标——作为导盲犬陪伴在真正需要它的人身边，发挥更重要的作用，作者也感到安慰。因此B项（更高的目标）为本文最佳标题。

Recently driverless taxis have hit the road in some cities in China， which sparked heated discussions among netizens.
From my point of view， I’m in favour of driverless taxis. First of all， driverless taxis are pared with human drivers， driverless taxis will never feel tired or make any simple mistakes. Secondly， driverless taxis are cheaper. It is reported that they only charge half of the price the normal taxis charge. Finally， even though some drivers will be out of work， in the long run， humans will be liberated from boring mechanical work to enjoy life.
In a word， we should embrace new technology instead of refuse it. Our life will become better and better because of advancements in science and technology.

Mr Haley laughs and says，“I didn’t.And I don’t.” He stops and looks me in the eye as though he is no longer in a hurry to get to class， and I’m the only person who matters.“Writing is a craft，” he says.“I learned to write through practice and sheer persistence.” He explains that when he was at high school， he wrote every day.As his writing skills improved， he eventually became a journalist.“If you want to become a writer，” he says，“don’t worry about whether you have some magical gift.Put in the work.Write every day， and don’t give up until you succeed.”
After my conversation with Alex Haley， I no longer care about whether I have the “gift” to become a writer.Instead， I start writing every day， just like Alex Haley in his high school.In the end， all my hard work pays off.Within two years， I publish three stories in national children’s magazines.I have been writing and publishing ever since.Had I not volunteered to meet this extraordinary man， I never would have received the benefit of his wise advice and the rewards that followed.

Good afternoon， everyone！
The topic of my speech today is “It’s Everyone’s Duty to Protect the Giant Panda”.
The giant panda， known as the national treasure of China， is also regarded as one of the symbols of China.It mainly lives in China’s Sichuan， Shaanxi and Gansu provinces.There are only less than two thousand giant pandas living in the wild now， which are in great danger of dying out and are named as first class national protected animals.
It’s high time that we took effective measures to protect the giant pandas.First of all， we should choose green lifestyle and reduce pollution； secondly， we ought to protect the environment and never cut down the forests； lastly， we can also donate money to WWF.
Thank you for your listening！

Jack and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa.When Grandpa took the cane， his hands shook with joy， thinking，“This is made by my grandsons themselves.How precious it is！” Jack said， “Grandpa， we hope this cane will help you stand up and come with us to explore the woods.” Grandpa smiled and decided to give it a try so as not to make his grandchildren disappointed.He held the cane in his right hand and the arm of his chair in his left hand.He stood up with strength on his legs.Everyone was surprised and excited to see Grandpa stand up.At that moment， Jack noticed a tear coming from the corner of his grandfather’s eye.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
（2024·南通高二下质检）When it comes to career choice， you often hear a particular piece of advice.You may have given it to someone else or you may have heard it yourself： Do what you love.
The optimism behind this advice is well-intentioned， however， it raises a lot of questions.The biggest one is “What is passion？ What does it mean to be passionate？”
Allison E McWilliams Ph.D.wrote an interesting part about our relationship to work.She described three key work orientations（方向）： Job orientation — work is a means to an end， allowing you to pursue other things in life.Career orientation — care about work that allows the person to get promoted.Calling orientation — the work you do creates your identity and meaning.
The point here is that while some of us may not be passionate about the work， you are doing the work for a reason.The advice of “doing what you love” falls more into a calling orientation.
After all， there is nothing wrong with any of these orientations.Neither one of them is superior to the others.This can lead to confusion amongst people because they may have worked for completely different reasons.
Following the advice of doing what you love feels great at first， but it can be short-lived.It is because every job out there is going to have a sore spot.There is going to be something you have to do that makes it feel like busywork rather than something you are passionate about.It becomes a chore and， in turn， you could lose the passion that is driving you forward to that path.
This raises another point.Perhaps you have too many passions and you get lost， confused or frustrated with what you are trying to do.Or maybe you run into something that changes how you view your passion.For example， cooking is a great passion.But if you decide to become a chef， you would be subject to making the same dishes constantly with little variety.
1.What is the author’s top puzzle about the advice of “doing what you love”？（ ）
A.The definition of passion. B.The diversity of passion.
C.Where passion comes from. D.Why we do the work on earth.
2.What does the author think of the three key work orientations？（ ）
A.All of them are equal and reasonable.
B.None of them reflect your true passion.
C.One with job orientation focuses on job itself.
D.One with career orientation has a passion for his work.
3.What does the underlined phrase “a sore spot” in Paragraph 6 mean？（ ）
A.Something that is special. B.Something that is difficult.
C.Something that annoys you. D.Something that attracts you.
4.What does the author want to convey by giving the example of cooking？（ ）
A.We may don’t know our passions. B.Our passions can become careers.
C.It is difficult to maintain our passions. D.Our attitude to our passions can change.

（2024·重庆高二下月考）There is one question in every job interview that is universally dreaded by candidates：“What is your greatest weakness？”
While nobody wants to talk about something that might spoil their chances of securing a position， honesty is the right approach according to former jobseekers who took to Reddit to share their tips on how best to respond.
One user recommended being truthful but advised making just a part of your answer about the weakness — and the rest about what you’re doing to address it.
Another suggested highlighting the unexpected upsides to a weak point — such as stubbornness meaning you will stay focused on a project until the job is done.
One poster even described how being under-qualified could be changed into a positive.He told how he once admitted in an interview to not having enough experience for the job， but explained that he was so keen to learn and develop that he would become a great employee in record time.He added that he was offered the job five minutes later — and went on to live up to his promise.
Another commenter said that they often admit to being introverted （内向的） and then list the positives the personality type comes with， such as being focused and a good listener.
One man managed to land a job within five minutes by being totally honest about not having enough experience and explained that the key is turning your weakness into a positive.
People revealed that it’s no bad thing to admit to qualities that might initially sound negative， such as being introverted， stubborn or lacking in confidence.
Former jobseekers said it’s fine to admit things like being bad at public speaking or not confident on the telephone if they’re not relevant to the job you’re applying for.
5.What does the underlined word “securing” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？（ ）
A.Creating. B.Changing.
C.Obtaining. D.Discovering.
6.What’s important when we admit our weakness？（ ）
A.Telling part of the truth. B.Stressing its positive side.
C.Making up some excuses. D.Ignoring its negative effects.
7.What principle is stressed in the passage？（ ）
A.Nobody is perfect. B.Honesty is the best policy.
C.Show the best of you to others. D.Believe in yourself and keep confident.
8.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage？（ ）
A.To offer some tips. B.To tell some stories.
C.To provide some facts. D.To analyse some theories.

（2024·长沙高二下质检）What’s really behind the global rise in working longer and longer hours？ We are all workers， whether we work in an office as managers， in a hot and noisy factory as workers or as housewives at home.
The important message is：Work is for man and not man for work！ Through work， man develops himself， his personality and his sense of self-worth.It is also through work that man produces goods and services contributing and participating in the development and society.
According to latest International Labor Organization statistics， more than 400 million employed people worldwide work 49 or more hours per week.
In a recent interview with The New York Times， even Elon Musk， CEO of Tesla， felt moved to describe his 47th birthday spent locked in his factory， pulling an all-nighter.“No friends， nothing，” he said.It might have been just another day in another 120-hour work week.“This has really come at the expense of seeing my kids.And seeing friends，” he added.
Hustling over long hours and weekends has become a staple of start-up culture in Silicon Valley — hence， it has also filtered out to many parts of the world.
The problem is that this “long hours” culture likely defeats the purpose of getting more things done， or at least puts a very high price on doing them.There is plenty of evidence that working overtime reduces your productivity， and makes you feel and actually be less healthy.It also makes you more likely to develop a whole range of diseases.
Keep in mind that working for days at a time is not smart， even if you are Elon Musk.The news of his unhealthy work routine has not been well received by investors， and Tesla’s stock fell 8.8% shortly after the NYT interview， amid suspicions of Musk’s poor mental health.
1.What’s the second paragraph mainly about？（ ）
A.The value of working. B.The purpose of working.
C.The necessity of working long. D.The importance of working hard.
2.What’s the author’s purpose of giving the example of Elon Musk？（ ）
A.To prove CEOs work harder. B.To show CEOs are very busy.
C.To show working long is common. D.To prove working long is rewarding.
3.What does the author think of working long hours？（ ）
A.It’s valuable. B.It’s harmful.
C.It’s necessary. D.It’s understandable.
4.How did the investors probably feel when they watched Elon Musk’s interview？（ ）
A.Very satisfied. B.Very confused.
C.A little surprised. D.A little disappointed.

（2024·烟台高二下月考）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 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.”
5.What does Ellen Langer’s study show？（ ）
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.
6.The underlined word “go-getter” in Paragraph 3 refers to someone who .（ ）
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
7.What can be inferred from the last paragraph？（ ）
A.A good thinker is able to inspire other people.
B.Experience unrelated to your job is useless.
C.A cheerful mood helps us to be creative.
D.Focusing on what you do raises productivity.
8.What does the text seem to advocate？（ ）
A.Middle-of-the-road work habits. B.Balance between work and family.
C.Long-standing cultural traditions. D.Harmony in the work environment.
