这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者一个外出晚上,没有坐上回家的公交车,没钱打车,最后步行回家的故事。
【11题详解】
考查连词。句意:天气很冷,我又打不起出租车,但我不想让寄宿家庭来接我,免得打扰他们。根据空前句意“天气很冷,我又打不起出租车”和空后句意“我不想让寄宿家庭来接我,免得打扰他们。”可知,此处前后表示转折关系需用连词but。故填but。

Kajal
moved
to
the
United
States
in
February
2017.
Having
previously
volunteered
for
two
years
as
an
assistant
yoga
teacher
in
her
home
country,
Kajal
was
enthusiastic
about
volunteering
and
began
looking
for
volunteer
opportunities
that
match
her
interests
on
VolunteerMatch.
“I
enjoy
volunteering
and
it’s
a
way
to
make
an
impact
in
my
new
community,”
says
Kajal.
Kajal
was
drawn
to
a
volunteer
opportunity
with
the
Meridian
International
Center
to
review
applications
on
behalf
of
the?Young
Leaders
of
the
Americas
Initiative
(YLAI).
Kajal
had
previous
experience,
and
the
position
also
afforded
her
the
opportunity
to
work
remotely.
After
connecting
with
the
opportunity
on
VolunteerMatch
and
successfully
completing
the
application
process,
Kajal
got
to
work.
Her
role
involved
reviewing
applications
from
potential
candidates
for
a
four-week
fellowship
in
the
U.S.
She
was
responsible
for
describing
the
business
ideas
presented
by
these
candidates,
assessing
the
social
impact
of
their
businesses,
and
determining
the
strength
of
candidates
to
carry
out
their
plans.
With
almost
4,000
applicants
in
2017,
Meridian
International
Center
considers
volunteers
like
Kajal
to
be
integral
(必要的)
members
of
the
team.
With
help
from
volunteers,
250
candidates
have
now
been
selected
to
take
part
in
the
program
and
will
travel
to
the

Hundreds
of
people
die
at
sea
every
year
due
to
ship
and
airplane
accidents.
Emergency
teams
have
little
time
to
rescue
those
in
the
water
because
the
probability
of
finding
a
person
alive
fall
dramatically
after
six
hours.
Beyond
tides
and
challenging
weather
conditions,
unsteady
coastal
currents
often
make
search
and
rescue
operations
extremely
difficult.
New
insight
into
coastal
flows
gained
by
an
international
research
team
led
by
George
Haller,
Professor
of
Nonlinear
Dynamics
at
ETH
Zurich,
promises
to
enhance
the
search
and
rescue
techniques
currently
in
use.
Using
tools
from
dynamical
systems
theory
and
ocean
data,
the
team
has
developed
an
algorithm
(算法)
to
predict
where
objects
and
people
floating
in
water
will
go.
“Our
work
has
a
clear
potential
to
save
lives,”
says
Mattia
Serra,
the
first
author
of
a
study
recently
published
in
Nature
Communications.
In
today’s
rescue
operations
at
sea,
complicated
models
of
ocean
dynamics
and
weather
forecasting
are
used
to
predict
the
path
of
floating
objects.
For
fast-changing
coastal
waters,
however,
such
predictions
are
often
inaccurate
due
to
uncertain
boundaries
and
missing
data.
As
a
result,
a
search
may
be
launched
in
the
wrong
location,
causing
a
loss
of
precious
time.
Haller’s
research
team
obtained
mathematical
results
predicting
that
objects
floating
on
the
ocean’s
surface
should
gather
along
a
few
special
curves
(曲线)
which
they
call
TRansient
Attracting
Profiles
(TRAPs).
These
curves
can’t
be
seen
with
our
eyes
but
can
be
tracked
from
instant
ocean
surface
current
data
using
recent
mathematical
methods
developed
by
the
ETH
team.
This
enables
quick
and
precise
planning
of
search
paths
that
are
less
sensitive
to
uncertainties
in
the
time
and
place
of
the
accident.
In
cooperation
with
a
team
from
MIT,
the
ETH
team
tested
their
new,
TRAP-based
search
algorithm
in
two
separate
ocean
experiments
near
Martha’s
Vineyard,
which
is
on
the
northeastern
coast
of
the
United
States.
Working
from
the
same
real-time
data
available
to
the
Coast
Guard,
the
team
successfully
identified
TRAPs
in
the
region
in
real
time.
They
found
that
buoys
and
manikins
(浮标和人体模型)
thrown
in
the
water
indeed
quickly
gathered
along
these
emerging
curves.
“Of
several
competing
approaches
tested
in
this
project,
this
was
the
only
algorithm
that
consistently
found
the
right
location,”
says
Haller.
“Our
results
are
rapidly
obtained,
easy
to
interpret
and
cheap
to
perform,”
points
out
Serra.
Haller
stresses:
“Our
hope
is
that
this
method
will
become
a
standard
part
of
the
tool
kit
of
coast
guards
everywhere.”

Recently
the
term
“climate
anxiety”
has
been
used
to
better
describe
our
growing
concerns
about
climate
change.
While
there
is
evidence
that
climate
anxiety
can
be
identified
and
reliably
measured,
what’s
less
clear
is
how
it
relates
to
mental
illness.
Mental
health
providers
across
the
world
are
noting
the
presence
of
climate
anxiety
in
their
patients;
however,
the
degree
to
which
it
is
influencing
mental
illness
is
not
yet
clear,
though
evidence
addressing
this
question
is
slowly
growing.
For
years
now,
mental
health
clinicians
have
seen
climate
anxiety
influencing
presentations
of
mental
illness
in
a
variety
of
ways,
some
extreme.
Recent
studies
are
starting
to
look
at
links
between
climate
anxiety
and
mental
illness
in
larger
samples
to
help
better
understand
the
directionality
of
their
relationship.
In
a
U.S.
survey
of
more
than
340
people
published
in
2018,
climate
concerns
were
associated
with
depressive
symptoms
(症状).
Ecological
coping,
which
includes
pro-environmental
behaviors
such
as
reducing
energy
consumption,
appeared
to
be
protective
against
depression,
indicating
that
climate
concerns
and
the
poor
coping
skills
used
to
address
them
could
be
causing
depressive
symptoms.
So
who
might
be
more
at
risk
of
mental
illness
secondary
to
the
uncertainties
around
climate
change?
Unsurprisingly,
climate
anxiety
appears
higher
in
individuals
with
more
concern
about
environmental
issues
at
baseline
and
those
already
experiencing
direct
effects
of
climate
change.
Climatologists
also
face
increased
risk
given
their
in-depth
knowledge
on
the
issue
coupled
with
the
upsetting
task
of
trying
to
convey
it
to
individuals
and
governments
that
often
deny
or
downplay
it.
People
with
high
levels
of
neuroticism,
a
personality
trait
that
increases
susceptibility
to
mental
illness,
are
also
likely
to
be
at
high
risk.
Some
individuals
report
adaptive
responses
to
climate
anxiety
like
adopting
pro-environmental
behaviors
and
participating
in
collective
action,
while
others
are
unable
to
respond
behaviorally
at
all.
It’s
not
yet
clear
how
these
varying
reactions
manifest
(呈现)
on
a
population
level
and
how
they’re
influencing
humanity’s
response
to
climate
change.
However,
a
recent
survey
of
nearly
200
people
found
that,
while
climate
anxiety
was
associated
with
an
emotional
response
to
climate
change,
it
was
not
correlated
with
a
behavioral
response.
If
this
is
true
for
humanity
as
a
whole,
we
must
urgently
help
motivate
the
anxious
among
us.
Doing
so
successfully
will
require
many
approaches,
such
as
delivering
cognitive-behavioral
therapy
(认知行为疗法)
to
the
most
severely
affected
and
demonstrating
to
entire
populations
that
change
is
possible
by
better
publicizing
productive
efforts
by
organizations
to
reduce
their
carbon
footprints.
We
can’t
let
climate
anxiety
stop
us
from
responding
to
climate
change,
because
now,
more
than
ever,
we
need
action,
not
inaction.
31.
What
can
be
learned
from
the
first
two
paragraphs?
A.
Mental
illness
may
increase
the
risk
of
climate
anxiety.
B.
Reducing
energy
consumption
can
help
treat
depression.
C.
Failure
to
handle
climate
anxiety
may
cause
depressive
symptoms.
D.
The
influence
of
climate
anxiety
on
mental
illness
can
be
measured.
32.
The
underlined
phrase
“secondary
to”
in
Paragraph
3
probably
means
.
A.
as
a
result
of
B.
less
important
than
C.
as
serious
as
D.
regardless
of

【32题详解】
词义猜测题。上文介绍了未能处理气候焦虑可能导致抑郁症状,根据第三段关键句“Unsurprisingly,

a
result
of”意为“由于”,符合句意,能够表示画线短语的意思。故选A项。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have
you
ever
been
labeled
a
“perfectionist”?
Or
do
you
consider
yourself
to
be
one?
It’s
attractive
to
see
perfectionism
as
a
positive
quality—it
shows
that
we
pay
close
attention
to
detail
and
get
things
right!
And,
it
is
often
viewed
as
a
strength
that
helps
people
to
produce
high-quality
work.
____35____
It
can
damage
self-esteem,
cause
relationship
problems,
and,
in
extreme
cases,
it
may
even
lead
to
serious
health
problems.
If
you
think
that
you
have
a
problem
with
perfectionism,
the
following
strategies
can
help
you
to
lessen
its
negative
effects.
Set
realistic
goals.
____36____
Instead,
learn
to
think
about
your
most
important
life
and
career
goals.
Then,
break
them
down
into
smaller
steps.
Not
only
will
this
make
it
easier
to
reach
your
objectives,
but
you’ll
also
experience
the
thrill
of
achieving
them.
____37____
If
you’re
feeling
anxious
or
unhappy
about
a
task,
they
may
be
telling
you
that
you’re
trying
to
achieve
the
impossible.
And
adjust
your
targets
accordingly!
Perfectionists
are
often
likely
to
start
negative
self-talk.
If
you
catch
yourself
doing
this,
stop!
Try
using
thought
awareness
to
question
your
negative
thoughts
and
add
some
positivity!
Focus
on
the
bigger
picture.
Perfectionism
can
cause
“tunnel
vision”—when
you
focus
on
one
small
part
of
something
but
ignore
the
rest.
You
might,
for
instance,
focus
on
getting
a
minor
part
of
a
presentation
right,
like
the
special
effects,
instead
of
concentrating
on
the
meaning
that
you
are
trying
to
deliver.
Remember
to
keep
your
focus
on
the
bigger
picture.
____38____
Relax
and
go
with
the
flow.
The
pursuit
of
perfection
can
make
it
extremely
difficult
to
relax.
And
perfectionists
prefer
to
maintain
focus
and
to
stick
to
their
carefully
laid
plans.
But
relaxation
isn’t
just
necessary
for
a
healthy
life.
It
can
also
improve
your
productivity
and
well-being.
And
you’ll
be
better
at
keeping
perfectionism
under
control
if
you’re
feeling
rested,
clear-headed
and
happy.
____39____
Get
outside,
be
open
to
new
experiences
and
new
people,
make
use
of
relaxation
techniques,
and
recognize
when
you
need
to
switch
off.
Most
of
all,
don’t
allow
perfectionism
or
fear
of
failure
to
stop
you
from
experiencing
new
things.
Be
open
to
new
ways
of
thinking,
new
people,
and
new
experiences.
You
might
just
find
that
letting
go
actually
boosts
your
well-being,
your
relationships,
and
your
performance.
A.
Listen
to
your
emotions.
B.
So,
take
regular
breaks
at
work.
C.
Seek
advice
from
qualified
health
professionals.
D.
Your
failings
will
seem
less
significant
and
you’ll
reduce
the
urge
to
be
perfect.
E.
However,
when
perfectionism
gets
out
of
control,
it
can
do
more
harm
than
good.
F.
Perfectionists
often
set
objectives
so
high
that
there’s
little
hope
of
ever
achieving
them.
G.

you’re
afraid
to
make
mistakes,
it’s
difficult
to
generate

B
【解析】
本文是说明文。文章介绍了几种减少完美主义带来的负面影响的办法。
35题详解】
根据下文“It
can
damage
self-esteem,
cause
relationship
problems,
and,
in
extreme
cases,
it
may
even
lead
to
serious
health
problems.
(它会损害自尊,引起人际关系问题,在极端情况下,甚至可能导致严重的健康问题。)”可知,下文说的是完美主义面临的问题。E项意为“然而,当完美主义失去控制时,弊大于利。”选项内容能够引起下文,且与上文介绍的完美主义的优点形成转折关系。故选E。
【36题详解】
根据段落主旨句“Set
realistic
goals.(设定现实的目标。)”可知,本段讲述的是要想减少完美主义的负面影响,可以通过设定现实的目标。根据下文“Instead,
learn
to
think
about
your
most
important
life
and
career
goals.
(相反,学会思考你最重要的人生和职业目标。)”可知,下文说的是如何设定现实的目标。F项意为“完美主义者往往把目标定得太高,以至于实现目标的希望渺茫。”选项内容符合段落主旨,说出了完美主义者在设定目标时出现的问题,下文针对这个问题给出了解决方法。故选F。
【37题详解】
空格处为段落主旨句。根据下文“If
you’re
feeling
anxious
or
unhappy
about
a
task,
they
may
be
telling
you
that
you’re
trying
to
achieve
the
impossible.
And
adjust
your
targets
accordingly!
(如果你对一项任务感到焦虑或不高兴,他们可能会告诉你,你正试图实现不可能的目标。在这种情况下要调整你的目标!)”可知,本段介绍了我们情绪的变化会告诉我们所制定的目标是否合理。A项意为“倾听你的情绪。”选项内容能够概括段落主旨,告诉我们倾听情绪的重要性,下文中的“anxious
or
unhappy”是对选项中的“emotions”的举例。故选A。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Perfectionism
can
cause
“tunnel
vision”—when
you
focus
on
one
small
part
of
something
but
ignore
the
rest.
(完美主义会导致“视野狭隘”——当你专注于某件事的一小部分时,却忽略了其余的部分。)”和“Remember
to
keep
your
focus
on
the
bigger
picture.
(记住要把注意力放在大局上。)”可知,本段告诉我们要把注意力放在大局上,避免完美主义导致的“视野狭隘”。D项意为“你的失败会显得不那么重要,你会减少追求完美的冲动。”选项内容能够承接上文,如果我们能够做到把注意力放在大局上,就会减少追求完美的冲动。故选D。
【39题详解】
根据上文“But
relaxation
isn’t
just
necessary
for
a
healthy
life.
It
can
also
improve
your
productivity
and
well-being.
And
you’ll
be
better
at
keeping
perfectionism
under
control
if
you’re
feeling
rested,
clear-headed
and
happy.
(但放松不仅仅是健康生活所必需的。它还可以提高你的工作效率和健康。如果你感到精神振作、头脑清醒和快乐,你会更好地控制完美主义。)”可知,本段告诉我们放松有助于提高工作效率,可以让你更好地控制完美主义。B项意为“所以,在工作中定时休息。”选项内容与上文为因果关系,正因为放松有助于提高工作效率,所以应该在工作中定时休息。故选B。
第三部分:书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节
阅读表达(共4小题;第1、2题各2分,第3题3分,第4题5分,
共12分)。
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求回答问题。
Two
hundred
years
ago,
a
device
began
to
dominate
the
world
of
work—the
clock.
With
its
arrival,
people
were
paid
on
the
basis
of
how
many
hours
they
worked,
rather
than
their
material
output,
and
were
required
by
the
owner
to
turn
up
for
a
set
shift.
The
clock’s
authoritarian
rule
may
at
last
be
weakening.
Working
remotely
has
brought
a
greater
degree
of
freedom.
A
survey
across
six
countries
found
that
flexible
working
was
viewed
very
positively,
improving
both
people’s
work-life
balance
and
productivity.
Flexible
workers
even
scored
more
highly
on
a
sense
of
“belonging”
to
their
organization
than
those
on
a
nine-to-five
schedule.
It
is
hardly
surprising
that
workers
prefer
flexibility.
Working
a
rigid
eight-hour
schedule
is
incredibly
restricting.
Those
are
also
the
hours
when
most
shops
are
open,
when
doctors
and
dentists
will
take
appointments,
and
when
repairmen
are
willing
to
visit.
Parents
on
a
conventional
routine
may
be
able
to
take
their
children
to
school
in
the
morning
but
are
unlikely
to
be
able
to
pick
them
up
in
the
afternoon.
Many
families
find
themselves
constantly
struggling
with
schedules
and
giving
up
precious
holiday
time
to
deal
with
domestic
emergencies.
On
reflection,
it
is
not
too
shocking
that
home-workers
feel
they
are
more
productive.
After
all,
few
people
have
the
ability
to
concentrate
solidly
for
eight
hours
at
a
stretch.
There
are
points
in
the
day
where
people
want
to
stare
out
of
the
window
or
go
for
a
walk;
these
may
be
moments
when
they
find
inspiration
or
recharge
themselves
for
the
next
task.
When
they
do
this
in
an
office,
they
risk
the
boss’s
disapproval;
at
home,
they
can
work
when
they
are
most
motivated.
Of
course,
working
remotely
carries
dangers:
people
may
lose
all
separation
between
work
and
home
life,
and
are
likely
to
be
stressed.
To
inject
some
human
contact,
companies
may
embrace
a
mixed
model
in
which
workers
go
into
the
office
for
part
of
the
week.
But
overall,
office-workers’
freedom
from
time
restrictions
is
to
be
welcomed.
The
clock
was
a
cruel
master
and
many
people
will
be
happy
to
escape
its
dominion.
40.
What
decided
the
workers’
pay
after
the
clock
appeared?
41.
Please
paraphrase
the
underlined
sentence
in
your
own
words.
42.
Please
decide
which
part
of
the
following
statement
is
false,
then
underline
it
and
explain
why.
Working
remotely
is
viewed
positively
because
it
brings
lots
of
benefits
and
it
is
perfect.
43.
As
a
student,
what
do
you
think
of
remote
learning?
(about
40
words)
【答案】40.
The
number
of
hours
they
worked.
41.
People’s
lives
are
greatly
restricted
by
the
fixed
working
hours.
42.
Working
remotely
is
viewed
positively
because
it
brings
lots
of
benefits
and
it
is
perfect.
According
to
the
passage,
remote
working
also
has
its
drawbacks,
such
as
making
people
lose
all
separation
between
work
and
home
life,
and
making
people
feel
stressed.
43.
言之有理即可
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自钟表发明之后,工人的工资由工作时间来决定。又详细说明了固定工作时间的缺点及远程工作时间的优缺点。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段第二句中“With
its
arrival,
people
were
paid
on
the
basis
of
how
many
hours
they
worked(随着它的到来,人们的工资是根据他们的工作时间来支付的,)”可知,钟表出现之后,决定工人工资的是他们的工作时间,故答案为:The
number
of
hours
they
worked.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。划线句子是一个主系表结构,意为“严格的八小时工作时间表是难以置信的限制。”可推断,工人的生活被这种固定的工作时间牢牢地限制住了,故答案为:People’s
lives
are
greatly
restricted
by
the
fixed
working
hours.
【42题详解】
考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段第一句“On
reflection,
it
is
not
too
shocking
that
home-workers
feel
they
are
more
productive.(仔细想想,在家工作的人觉得自己的工作效率更高,这并不太令人震惊。)”及该段所述在家工作的好处可知,远程工作(在家工作)是非常受欢迎的一种工作方式,因为它带来了很多的益处;然而根据最后一段第一句话“Of
course,
working
remotely
carries
dangers(当然,远程工作也有危险)”可知,远程工作也有弊端,因此它并不是完美(perfect)的,所以该陈述中错误的部分是:perfect。最后一段中“people
may
lose
all
separation
between
work
and
home
life,
and
are
likely
to
be
stressed.(人们可能会失去工作和家庭生活之间的所有分离,并可能会感到压力。)”列举出了远程工作的缺点。所以陈述理由为:According
to
the
passage,
remote
working
also
has
its
drawbacks,
such
as
making
people
lose
all
separation
between
work
and
home
life,
and
making
people
feel
stressed.(根据文章,远程工作也有它的缺点,例如使人们失去工作和家庭生活的所有分离,使人们感到压力。)
【43题详解】
考查语言表达。文章介绍了固定办公时间和灵活办公时间的优缺点,考生可以根据文章内容任选一方面来陈述远程学习的优点或缺点。只要言之有理即可。参考答案:In
my
opinion,
students
can
greatly
benefit
from
the
remote
learning.
Firstly,
you
can
learn
more
useful
knowledge
that
you
can
not
obtain
from
regular
school
teaching.
Secondly,
you
can
choose
the
time
when
you
will
study,
which
means
that
if
you
are
in
bad
mental
state,
you
can
adjust
your
study
time.

◆
What
Are
We
Talking
About?
It’s
called
the
Mozzy

It
is
a
stylish

comfortable
band
that
instantly

it

Kajal
moved
to
the
United
States
in
February
2017.
Having
previously
volunteered
for
two
years
as
an
assistant
yoga
teacher
in
her
home
country,
Kajal
was
enthusiastic
about
volunteering
and
began
looking
for
volunteer
opportunities
that
match
her
interests
on
VolunteerMatch.
“I
enjoy
volunteering
and
it’s
a
way
to
make
an
impact
in
my
new
community,”
says
Kajal.
Kajal
was
drawn
to
a
volunteer
opportunity
with
the
Meridian
International
Center
to
review
applications
on
behalf
of
the?Young
Leaders
of
the
Americas
Initiative
(YLAI).
Kajal
had
previous
experience,
and
the
position
also
afforded
her
the
opportunity
to
work
remotely.
After
connecting
with
the
opportunity
on
VolunteerMatch
and
successfully
completing
the
application
process,
Kajal
got
to
work.
Her
role
involved
reviewing
applications
from
potential
candidates
for
a
four-week
fellowship
in
the
U.S.
She
was
responsible
for
describing
the
business
ideas
presented
by
these
candidates,
assessing
the
social
impact
of
their
businesses,
and
determining
the
strength
of
candidates
to
carry
out
their
plans.
With
almost
4,000
applicants
in
2017,
Meridian
International
Center
considers
volunteers
like
Kajal
to
be
integral
(必要的)
members
of
the
team.
With
help
from
volunteers,
250
candidates
have
now
been
selected
to
take
part
in
the
program
and
will
travel
to
the
U.S.
this
fall.
Kajal
says
that
this
volunteer
opportunity
super-charged
her
existing
skills,
while
helping
her
build
new
ones
such
as
time
management,
business
analysis,
decision-making,
planning,
and
presenting.
She
is
now
looking
for
her
next
volunteer
opportunity
and
reflects
positively
on
her
experience
with
Meridian
International
Center,
“A
new
country
brings
in
a
lot
of
new
experiences
and
volunteering
helped
me
to
settle
into
a
new
environment,”
adds
Kajal.
“By
helping
others,
I
felt
needed
in
society.
Not
only
did
it
improve
my
self-esteem
(自尊),
other
people
benefited
too.
Volunteering
is
a
great
opportunity
to
improve
yourself,
others,
and
the
whole
society”.

Hundreds
of
people
die
at
sea
every
year
due
to
ship
and
airplane
accidents.
Emergency
teams
have
little
time
to
rescue
those
in
the
water
because
the
probability
of
finding
a
person
alive
fall
dramatically
after
six
hours.
Beyond
tides
and
challenging
weather
conditions,
unsteady
coastal
currents
often
make
search
and
rescue
operations
extremely
difficult.
New
insight
into
coastal
flows
gained
by
an
international
research
team
led
by
George
Haller,
Professor
of
Nonlinear
Dynamics
at
ETH
Zurich,
promises
to
enhance
the
search
and
rescue
techniques
currently
in
use.
Using
tools
from
dynamical
systems
theory
and
ocean
data,
the
team
has
developed
an
algorithm
(算法)
to
predict
where
objects
and
people
floating
in
water
will
go.
“Our
work
has
a
clear
potential
to
save
lives,”
says
Mattia
Serra,
the
first
author
of
a
study
recently
published
in
Nature
Communications.
In
today’s
rescue
operations
at
sea,
complicated
models
of
ocean
dynamics
and
weather
forecasting
are
used
to
predict
the
path
of
floating
objects.
For
fast-changing
coastal
waters,
however,
such
predictions
are
often
inaccurate
due
to
uncertain
boundaries
and
missing
data.
As
a
result,
a
search
may
be
launched
in
the
wrong
location,
causing
a
loss
of
precious
time.
Haller’s
research
team
obtained
mathematical
results
predicting
that
objects
floating
on
the
ocean’s
surface
should
gather
along
a
few
special
curves
(曲线)
which
they
call
TRansient
Attracting
Profiles
(TRAPs).
These
curves
can’t
be
seen
with
our
eyes
but
can
be
tracked
from
instant
ocean
surface
current
data
using
recent
mathematical
methods
developed
by
the
ETH
team.
This
enables
quick
and
precise
planning
of
search
paths
that
are
less
sensitive
to
uncertainties
in
the
time
and
place
of
the
accident.
In
cooperation
with
a
team
from
MIT,
the
ETH
team
tested
their
new,
TRAP-based
search
algorithm
in
two
separate
ocean
experiments
near
Martha’s
Vineyard,
which
is
on
the
northeastern
coast
of
the
United
States.
Working
from
the
same
real-time
data
available
to
the
Coast
Guard,
the
team
successfully
identified
TRAPs
in
the
region
in
real
time.
They
found
that
buoys
and
manikins
(浮标和人体模型)
thrown
in
the
water
indeed
quickly
gathered
along
these
emerging
curves.
“Of
several
competing
approaches
tested
in
this
project,
this
was
the
only
algorithm
that
consistently
found
the
right
location,”
says
Haller.
“Our
results
are
rapidly
obtained,
easy
to
interpret
and
cheap
to
perform,”
points
out
Serra.
Haller
stresses:
“Our
hope
is
that
this
method
will
become
a
standard
part
of
the
tool
kit
of
coast
guards
everywhere.”

Recently
the
term
“climate
anxiety”
has
been
used
to
better
describe
our
growing
concerns
about
climate
change.
While
there
is
evidence
that
climate
anxiety
can
be
identified
and
reliably
measured,
what’s
less
clear
is
how
it
relates
to
mental
illness.
Mental
health
providers
across
the
world
are
noting
the
presence
of
climate
anxiety
in
their
patients;
however,
the
degree
to
which
it
is
influencing
mental
illness
is
not
yet
clear,
though
evidence
addressing
this
question
is
slowly
growing.
For
years
now,
mental
health
clinicians
have
seen
climate
anxiety
influencing
presentations
of
mental
illness
in
a
variety
of
ways,
some
extreme.
Recent
studies
are
starting
to
look
at
links
between
climate
anxiety
and
mental
illness
in
larger
samples
to
help
better
understand
the
directionality
of
their
relationship.
In
a
U.S.
survey
of
more
than
340
people
published
in
2018,
climate
concerns
were
associated
with
depressive
symptoms
(症状).
Ecological
coping,
which
includes
pro-environmental
behaviors
such
as
reducing
energy
consumption,
appeared
to
be
protective
against
depression,
indicating
that
climate
concerns
and
the
poor
coping
skills
used
to
address
them
could
be
causing
depressive
symptoms.
So
who
might
be
more
at
risk
of
mental
illness
secondary
to
the
uncertainties
around
climate
change?
Unsurprisingly,
climate
anxiety
appears
higher
in
individuals
with
more
concern
about
environmental
issues
at
baseline
and
those
already
experiencing
direct
effects
of
climate
change.
Climatologists
also
face
increased
risk
given
their
in-depth
knowledge
on
the
issue
coupled
with
the
upsetting
task
of
trying
to
convey
it
to
individuals
and
governments
that
often
deny
or
downplay
it.
People
with
high
levels
of
neuroticism,
a
personality
trait
that
increases
susceptibility
to
mental
illness,
are
also
likely
to
be
at
high
risk.
Some
individuals
report
adaptive
responses
to
climate
anxiety
like
adopting
pro-environmental
behaviors
and
participating
in
collective
action,
while
others
are
unable
to
respond
behaviorally
at
all.
It’s
not
yet
clear
how
these
varying
reactions
manifest
(呈现)
on
a
population
level
and
how
they’re
influencing
humanity’s
response
to
climate
change.
However,
a
recent
survey
of
nearly
200
people
found
that,
while
climate
anxiety
was
associated
with
an
emotional
response
to
climate
change,
it
was
not
correlated
with
a
behavioral
response.
If
this
is
true
for
humanity
as
a
whole,
we
must
urgently
help
motivate
the
anxious
among
us.
Doing
so
successfully
will
require
many
approaches,
such
as
delivering
cognitive-behavioral
therapy
(认知行为疗法)
to
the
most
severely
affected
and
demonstrating
to
entire
populations
that
change
is
possible
by
better
publicizing
productive
efforts
by
organizations
to
reduce
their
carbon
footprints.
We
can’t
let
climate
anxiety
stop
us
from
responding
to
climate
change,
because
now,
more
than
ever,
we
need
action,
not
inaction.

climate
anxiety.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have
you
ever
been
labeled
a
“perfectionist”?
Or
do
you
consider
yourself
to
be
one?
It’s
attractive
to
see
perfectionism
as
a
positive
quality—it
shows
that
we
pay
close
attention
to
detail
and
get
things
right!
And,
it
is
often
viewed
as
a
strength
that
helps
people
to
produce
high-quality
work.
____35____
It
can
damage
self-esteem,
cause
relationship
problems,
and,
in
extreme
cases,
it
may
even
lead
to
serious
health
problems.
If
you
think
that
you
have
a
problem
with
perfectionism,
the
following
strategies
can
help
you
to
lessen
its
negative
effects.
Set
realistic
goals.
____36____
Instead,
learn
to
think
about
your
most
important
life
and
career
goals.
Then,
break
them
down
into
smaller
steps.
Not
only
will
this
make
it
easier
to
reach
your
objectives,
but
you’ll
also
experience
the
thrill
of
achieving
them.
____37____
If
you’re
feeling
anxious
or
unhappy
about
a
task,
they
may
be
telling
you
that
you’re
trying
to
achieve
the
impossible.
And
adjust
your
targets
accordingly!
Perfectionists
are
often
likely
to
start
negative
self-talk.
If
you
catch
yourself
doing
this,
stop!
Try
using
thought
awareness
to
question
your
negative
thoughts
and
add
some
positivity!
Focus
on
the
bigger
picture.
Perfectionism
can
cause
“tunnel
vision”—when
you
focus
on
one
small
part
of
something
but
ignore
the
rest.
You
might,
for
instance,
focus
on
getting
a
minor
part
of
a
presentation
right,
like
the
special
effects,
instead
of
concentrating
on
the
meaning
that
you
are
trying
to
deliver.
Remember
to
keep
your
focus
on
the
bigger
picture.
____38____
Relax
and
go
with
the
flow.
The
pursuit
of
perfection
can
make
it
extremely
difficult
to
relax.
And
perfectionists
prefer
to
maintain
focus
and
to
stick
to
their
carefully
laid
plans.
But
relaxation
isn’t
just
necessary
for
a
healthy
life.
It
can
also
improve
your
productivity
and
well-being.
And
you’ll
be
better
at
keeping
perfectionism
under
control
if
you’re
feeling
rested,
clear-headed
and
happy.
____39____
Get
outside,
be
open
to
new
experiences
and
new
people,
make
use
of
relaxation
techniques,
and
recognize
when
you
need
to
switch
off.
Most
of
all,
don’t
allow
perfectionism
or
fear
of
failure
to
stop
you
from
experiencing
new
things.
Be
open
to
new
ways
of
thinking,
new
people,
and
new
experiences.
You
might
just
find
that
letting
go
actually
boosts
your
well-being,
your
relationships,
and
your
performance.
A.
Listen
to
your
emotions.
B.
So,
take
regular
breaks
at
work.
C
Seek
advice
from
qualified
health
professionals.
D.
Your
failings
will
seem
less
significant
and
you’ll
reduce
the
urge
to
be
perfect.
E.
However,
when
perfectionism
gets
out
of
control,
it
can
do
more
harm
than
good.
F.
Perfectionists
often
set
objectives
so
high
that
there’s
little
hope
of
ever
achieving
them.
G.
If
you’re
afraid
to
make
mistakes,
it’s
difficult
to
generate
new
ideas
and
seize
opportunities.

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求回答问题。
Two
hundred
years
ago,
a
device
began
to
dominate
the
world
of
work—the
clock.
With
its
arrival,
people
were
paid
on
the
basis
of
how
many
hours
they
worked,
rather
than
their
material
output,
and
were
required
by
the
owner
to
turn
up
for
a
set
shift.
The
clock’s
authoritarian
rule
may
at
last
be
weakening.
Working
remotely
has
brought
a
greater
degree
of
freedom.
A
survey
across
six
countries
found
that
flexible
working
was
viewed
very
positively,
improving
both
people’s
work-life
balance
and
productivity.
Flexible
workers
even
scored
more
highly
on
a
sense
of
“belonging”
to
their
organization
than
those
on
a
nine-to-five
schedule.
It
is
hardly
surprising
that
workers
prefer
flexibility.
Working
a
rigid
eight-hour
schedule
is
incredibly
restricting.
Those
are
also
the
hours
when
most
shops
are
open,
when
doctors
and
dentists
will
take
appointments,
and
when
repairmen
are
willing
to
visit.
Parents
on
a
conventional
routine
may
be
able
to
take
their
children
to
school
in
the
morning
but
are
unlikely
to
be
able
to
pick
them
up
in
the
afternoon.
Many
families
find
themselves
constantly
struggling
with
schedules
and
giving
up
precious
holiday
time
to
deal
with
domestic
emergencies.
On
reflection,
it
is
not
too
shocking
that
home-workers
feel
they
are
more
productive.
After
all,
few
people
have
the
ability
to
concentrate
solidly
for
eight
hours
at
a
stretch.
There
are
points
in
the
day
where
people
want
to
stare
out
of
the
window
or
go
for
a
walk;
these
may
be
moments
when
they
find
inspiration
or
recharge
themselves
for
the
next
task.
When
they
do
this
in
an
office,
they
risk
the
boss’s
disapproval;
at
home,
they
can
work
when
they
are
most
motivated.
Of
course,
working
remotely
carries
dangers:
people
may
lose
all
separation
between
work
and
home
life,
and
are
likely
to
be
stressed.
To
inject
some
human
contact,
companies
may
embrace
a
mixed
model
in
which
workers
go
into
the
office
for
part
of
the
week.
But
overall,
office-workers’
freedom
from
time
restrictions
is
to
be
welcomed.
The
clock
was
a
cruel
master
and
many
people
will
be
happy
to
escape
its
dominion.

What
decided
the
workers’
pay
after
the
clock

Please

part
of
the

statement
is
false,
then
underline
it
and

why.
Working
remotely
is
viewed
positively

it
brings
lots
of
benefits
and
it
is
perfect.
