Like everybody else, I was addicted to my devices. When realizing its harm, I decided to make a change.
“I’m doing Tech-Free Sundays now!” I told my mother on the Saturday night before my no-tech journey started. “Oh,” she said. “So are you giving up, like, the wheel ” I defined my terms. No: computer, phone, iPad. No: email, Twitter, Instagram. Yes: wheels, modern medicine.
But when I woke up in the morning, I failed. The problem was my work: I needed to meet a deadline. I thought I could just use the computer for work, and wouldn’t check Twitter. And I didn’t, for many hours. And then I did. It was right there! And though I checked it very briefly, just in case anyone was mad at me, the spell (咒语) was broken.
But the beautiful thing about Sundays is that there is always another one. The next week, I changed my approach: no tech, at all. This time, I was prepared. On Saturday, I made a list of everything I wanted to accomplish over the weekend, and then worked my way through all the parts that require technology. And then I put my phone down, and when I woke up on
Tech-Free Sunday, I did not pick it up again.
Instead, I finish a book --- one with paper! Do you know how pleasurable it is to read a book by touching it It is a delight, like petting a very literary cat. However, the trouble came when I went to meet a friend. I was running late, but had no way to tell her because my phone was at home.
Was I relaxed on such a Sunday It was an unfamiliar feeling, but I was. I felt a sense of control over my life. But because life is nothing if not a learning process, the next weekend, I told everyone who might need to get in touch with me that I would not be reachable on Sunday.

When you’re going through a period of anxiety or depression it can be difficult to make decisions, whether those are significant life changes or everyday choices. Those with generalized anxiety disorder or mood disorders often report feeling uncomfortable with or being troubled by feelings of uncertainty --- which doesn’t help when you need to make a decision, big or small.
Now in a new study, researchers find that people with higher levels of anxiety and depression are less able to adapt to fast-changing situations. But with the right intervention there may be ways to help those with anxiety or depression make better decisions in the moment.
Participants were aged between 18 and 55; some had symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder or major depressive disorder while others had no history of mental illness at all.
In the study, after filling in measures related to anxiety, depression, and worry, participants took part in a video game. In each round, they were asked to choose between two shapes: picking one shape resulted in a reward, while the other delivered an electric shock.
The task took place in two blocks --- one stable, in which one shape was associated with a reward 75% of the time and the other 25% of the time, and the other unstable, in which the shape with a higher probability of resulting in reward switched every twenty trials. In the unstable block, therefore, the participants had to keep adjusting their responses as the probabilities change.
Those participants with symptoms of anxiety or depression were slower to adjust their responses to the changes in probabilities. This suggests that mood disorders are associated with difficulty making decisions in changing circumstances.
Senior author Sonia Bishop argues that those participants who adapted quickly did so because of their emotional resilience (适应力). “Emotionally resilient people tend to focus on what gave them a good outcome, and in many real-world situations that might be key to learning to make good decisions,” she says.
Sonia Bishop suggests that encouraging people to focus on past successes rather than failures could be a useful behavioral intervention, making those difficult decisions a bit less tricky.
28. According to the text, which of the following affects decision-making
A. Feeling uncomfortable with someone.
B. Feeling unsure of what will happen.
C. Wondering who will make a decision.
D. Wondering how to help make a decision.
29. What advice can be given according to the study
A. Try to think quickly when making decisions.
B. Don’t expect too much when making decisions.
C. Don’t focus on one single thing when making decisions.
D. Reduce your anxiety or depression when making decisions.
30. What was the purpose of the unstable block
A. To create a fast-changing situation.
B. To train participants to respond to changes.
C. To make the video game more challenging.
D. To help those with anxiety make decisions.
31. Why does Sonia Bishop suggest focusing on past successes
A. To improve decision-making. B. To remember the achievements.
C. To adapt quickly to a new situation. D. To avoid making difficult decisions.
D
Ever fought with a problem Picked up a new skill Encountered a difficult concept The language of learning is full of references to parts of the body outside the brain. Perhaps that’s because these phrases suggest something deeper. Researchers are detecting that learning is easier, quicker and more long-lasting if it involves the body.
“In the past, people have argued that as we grow, we become more able to think abstractly (抽象地),” says Andrew Manches, a psychologist at the University of Edinburgh in the UK. Conventional (传统的) thinking might suggest that teachers should help prevent children from using body gestures to prepare them for the adult world. But in truth, the physical world never really leaves our thinking. For example, when we process verbs such as lick, kick and pick, medical scanners show that the parts of our brain that control the muscles in our face, legs and hands, respectively, light up with activity.
Science is beginning to back up the idea that actions really might speak louder than words in the classroom. Spencer Kelly, a psychologist at Colgate University in New York, has found that people spend three times as much time gesturing when they think the message they get across is remarkably important, suggesting that even if only at the subconscious (潜意识的) level, we appreciate the communicative value of our body language. Kelly has also found evidence that a
teacher is more appealing to students when he or she uses arm and hand movements to stress points.
Also, some studies indicate that young children obtain more if their teacher uses gestures when explaining a concept. Meanwhile, Sunsan Wagner Cook, a psychologist at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, has found that children pick up new concepts more effectively, if they are taught to mirror and repeat gestures their teacher uses.
32. How did people in the past understand learning
A. The older a student grows, the less likely he will think abstractly.
B. Teachers are advised to encourage students to use body gestures.
C. The physical world never really leaves our thinking.
D. Body gestures should be removed to promote adult-like thinking.
33. What can we learn from Spencer Kelly’s study
A. Body movements can increase a teacher’s popularity.
B. People use gestures every time they convey the messages.
C. Young students like to mirror their teacher’s gestures.
D. Body language is more powerful than spoken language.
34. How did the author make us believe the truth of the discovery
A. By explaining some rules. B. By presenting different researches.
C. By making some predictions. D. By analyzing the theory.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. The Language of Learning: A Vital Approach
B.Thinking Abstractly: A Symbol of Adult World
C. Body Language: A Universal Language Signal
D. Body Gestures: A Sharp Tool for Fast Learning

Screen time includes all those hours you spend in front of your computer at work, and the time you spend playing with your cell phone or watching TV. 36 According to some research, there are some convincing reasons to make the effort to look at something else other than a screen.
It's bad for your health. Being in front of a screen is almost always sedentary (久坐的) behavior, which relates to things like lower fitness levels. Turn this around by choosing something active. You do not have to do exercise at the gym. 37 They can help you keep healthy.
It messes up your sleep. When teenagers have more than four hours of screen time per day, and especially when they use their screens before going to bed, they have trouble falling asleep. If you're not sleeping well, it will not only make you feel tired the next day, but it can also affect your performance at work or in school. 38
It hinders (妨碍) your brain’s performance. 39 Researchers aren't yet sure why this is true, but it probably has to do with the ways that technology teaches the brain to function. If kids want to perform well in situations that involve memorization or problem solving, limit their screen time.
40 People who spend more time online, especially young people, are more likely to struggle with communication. If interpersonal communication is important to you or part of your job, you will likely get benefits if you spend less time in front of your screen.
A．It all adds up.
B．Here comes a solution.
C．If you should use a screen, try to do just that.
D．It’s not good for developing communication skills.
E．You can take a walk, or work on a project at home.
F．Kids do better in school when they have less screen time.
G．So it’s worth the effort to use your screen less and get more rest.

The wonder of it would not let me go. “Imagine,” I said, “if I’d had a dream and 54 it, just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished ” Carolyn looked at me sideways, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said, “ 55 yet, start today.”

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day, my elder brother and I were coming back from the islands where we often risked going with other fishermen. All at once, the sky over our heads was covered with dark clouds and in less than a minute we were in a terrible storm. Strangely, it seemed that the storm struck us only. I could clearly see that the sun shone brightly in the area not far away.
With the wind and waves, we were going in the direction of the whirlpool (旋涡). Other fishermen were in a very distant area without noticing what we were experiencing. We shouted for help but in vain. We were hopeless. Nothing could save us. I felt sick, as if I was falling from a mountain top in a dream. We went round and round, nearer and nearer to the horrible edge of the whirlpool. It may appear strange, but at that moment, when we were on the edge of the whirlpool, I felt calmer than when we were moving towards it. I began to think how amazing a thing it was to die in such a way, and how wonderful it was to see the power of nature. Suddenly, we went over the edge. I thought my life was over. But moment after moment passed, and I was still safe.
The boat was on the inside of the huge whirlpool and we were going round in circles at great speed. I saw clearly that there were other objects in the whirlpool---trees and barrels (桶子). After a while, I became curious about the whirlpool itself. I then made three important observations. The first, the larger the bodies were, the more rapidly they fell; the second, between two objects of equal extent, round objects fell down less rapidly; and the third, between two objects of the same size, objects shaped like a tube fell down more slowly.

B 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Those with generalized anxiety disorder or
mood disorders often report feeling uncomfortable with or being troubled by feelings of uncertainty --- which doesn’t help when you need to make a decision, big or small.（患有广泛性焦虑症或情绪障碍的人经常报告说，他们对不确定感感到不舒服或感到困扰，而这种不确定感在你需要做出重大或小决定时都没有帮助。）”可知，影响决策的一项是不确定会发生什么。故答案选B。
D【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Now in a new study, researchers find that people
with higher levels of anxiety and depression are less able to adapt to fast-changing situations. But with the right intervention（干预）there may be ways to help those with anxiety or depression make better decisions in the moment.（现在，在一项新的研究中，研究人员发现，焦虑和抑郁程度较高的人更难适应快速变化的环境。但只要有正确
的干预也许有办法帮助那些焦虑或抑郁的人在当下做出更好的决定。）”可知，这项研究可以给出的建议是在做决定时减少焦虑或抑郁。故答案选D。
A【解析】推理判断题。根椐文章第五段中“and the other unstable, in which the shape with
a higher probability of resulting in reward switched every twenty trials. In the unstable block, therefore, the participants had to keep adjusting their responses as the probabilities change.（另一个是不稳定的，在另一个阶段中，每20次试验中，获得奖励的概率较高的形状就会发生变化。因此，在不稳定的区块中，参与者必须随着概率的变化不断调整自己的反应。）”可知，不稳定区块的目的是创造快速变化的局面。故答案选A。
A【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“Sonia Bishop suggests that encouraging
people to focus on past successes rather than failures could be a useful behavioral intervention, making those difficult decisions a bit less tricky.（Sonia Bishop建议，鼓励人们专注于过去的成功而不是失败，这可能是一种有用的行为干预，让那些艰难的决定变得不那么棘手）”可知，Sonia Bishop建议关注过去的成功的原因是为了改善决策。故答案选A。
D

For example, when we process verbs such as lick, kick and pick, medical scanners show that the parts of our brain that control the muscles in our face, legs and hands, respectively, light up with activity.
Science is beginning to back up the idea that actions really might speak louder than words in the classroom. Spencer Kelly, a psychologist at Colgate University in New York, has found that people spend three times as much time gesturing when they think the message they get across is remarkably important, suggesting that even if only at the subconscious (潜意识的) level, we appreciate the communicative value of our body language. Kelly has also found evidence that a
teacher is more appealing to students when he or she uses arm and hand movements to stress points.
Also, some studies indicate that young children obtain more if their teacher uses gestures when explaining a concept. Meanwhile, Sunsan Wagner Cook, a psychologist at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, has found that children pick up new concepts more effectively, if they are taught to mirror and repeat gestures their teacher uses.
32. How did people in the past understand learning
A. The older a student grows, the less likely he will think abstractly.
B. Teachers are advised to encourage students to use body gestures.
C. The physical world never really leaves our thinking.
D. Body gestures should be removed to promote adult-like thinking.
33. What can we learn from Spencer Kelly’s study
A. Body movements can increase a teacher’s popularity.
B. People use gestures every time they convey the messages.
C. Young students like to mirror their teacher’s gestures.
D. Body language is more powerful than spoken language.
34. How did the author make us believe the truth of the discovery
A. By explaining some rules. B. By presenting different researches.
C. By making some predictions. D. By analyzing the theory.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. The Language of Learning: A Vital Approach
B.Thinking Abstractly: A Symbol of Adult World
C. Body Language: A Universal Language Signal
D. Body Gestures: A Sharp Tool for Fast Learning
【要点综述】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员发现，恰当地使用身体姿势能使学习更容易、更快速、更持久。
D【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“In the past, people have argued that as we
grow, we become more able to think abstractly（抽象地）（过去，人们认为，随着我们的成长，我们越来越能够抽象地思考)”以及“Conventional（传统的）thinking might suggest that teachers should help prevent children from using body gestures to prepare them for the adult world.（传统的想法可能表明，教师应该帮助防止孩子们使用身体姿势来为成人世界做准备）”可知，过去的人们认为学习应该去掉身体姿势，以促进成年人的思维。故答案选D。
A【解析】细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中“Kelly has also found evidence that a
teacher is more appealing to students when he or she uses arm and hand movements to stress points.（凯利还发现证据表明，当老师用手臂和手的动作来强调重点时，他或她对学生更有吸引力。）”可知，我们可以从Spencer Kelly的研究中得知肢体动作可以提高教师的知名度。故答案选A。
B【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Also, some studies indicate that young
children obtain more if their teacher uses gestures when explaining a concept.（此外，一些研究表明，如果老师在解释一个概念时使用手势，幼儿会获得更多。）”可知，作者让我们相信发现的真相是通过呈现不同的研究。故答案选B。
D【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中“Researchers are detecting that learning is
easier, quicker and more long-lasting if it involves the body.（研究人员发现，如果涉及身体，学习更容易、更快速、更持久。）”可知，本文主要介绍了研究人员发现，恰当地使用身体语言以及姿势能使学习更容易、更快速、更持久。因此本文的主旨是：身体姿势：快速学习的利器。故答案选D。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Screen time includes all those hours you spend in front of your computer at work, and the time you spend playing with your cell phone or watching TV. 36 According to some research, there are some convincing reasons to make the effort to look at something else other than a screen.
It's bad for your health. Being in front of a screen is almost always sedentary (久坐的) behavior, which relates to things like lower fitness levels. Turn this around by choosing something active. You do not have to do exercise at the gym. 37 They can help you keep healthy.
It messes up your sleep. When teenagers have more than four hours of screen time per day, and especially when they use their screens before going to bed, they have trouble falling asleep. If you're not sleeping well, it will not only make you feel tired the next day, but it can also affect your performance at work or in school. 38
It hinders (妨碍) your brain’s performance. 39 Researchers aren't yet sure why this is true, but it probably has to do with the ways that technology teaches the brain to
function. If kids want to perform well in situations that involve memorization or problem solving, limit their screen time.
40 People who spend more time online, especially young people, are more likely to struggle with communication. If interpersonal communication is important to you or part of your job, you will likely get benefits if you spend less time in front of your screen.
A．It all adds up.
B．Here comes a solution.
C．If you should use a screen, try to do just that.
D．It’s not good for developing communication skills.
E．You can take a walk, or work on a project at home.
F．Kids do better in school when they have less screen time.
G．So it’s worth the effort to use your screen less and get more rest.
【要点综述】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要列举了看屏幕时间过长的一些危害。
36．A【解析】根据空格处前一句“Screen time includes all those hours you spend in front of your computer at work, and the time you spend playing with your cell phone or watching TV.（屏幕时间包括你在电脑前工作的所有时间，以及你玩手机或看电视的时间。）”可知，这里对屏幕时间的概念做了解释和限定，A项“It all adds up.（这些都算数。）”是对前文内容的一种总结。故答案选A。
37．E【解析】根据空格处前一句“You do not have to do exercise at the gym.（你不必非得在健身房锻炼。）”可知，E项“You can take a walk, or work on a project at home.（你可以散散步或者在家里运动。）”承接前文，不能去健身房的话可以在家锻炼或外出散步。故答案选E。
38．G【解析】根据空格处前一句“If you're not sleeping well, it will not only make you feel tired the next day, but it can also affect your performance at work or in school.（如果你睡不好，不仅会让你第二天感到疲倦，还会影响你在工作或学校的表现。）”可知，此处指出长时间看屏幕会造成不好的结果，即会导致睡眠不好，让你第二天感到疲倦，由此可知，空格处应该是对上文进行总结，指出我们应该少对着屏幕，G项“So it’s worth the effort to use your screen less and get more rest.（因此，少对着屏幕多休息是值得的。）”符合，是基于前文得出的结论，应该多休息少对着屏幕。故答案选G。
39．F【解析】根据下文“If kids want to perform well in situations that involve memorization or
problem solving, limit their screen time.（如果孩子们想在涉及记忆或解决问题的情况下表现良好，就要限制他们在屏幕上的时间。）”可知，如果减少面对屏幕的时间，孩子们的表现就会更好，与F项“Kids do better in school when they have less screen time.（当孩子们有更少的屏幕时间时，他们在学校表现更好。）”呼应。故答案选F。
40．D【解析】根据空格处后一句“People who spend more time online, especially young people, are more likely to struggle with communication.（花更多时间上网的人，尤其是年轻人，更有可能难以与人沟通。）”可知，本段主要讲的是面对屏幕时间过长对沟通方面的影响，因此D项“It’s not good for developing communication skills.（这不利于培养沟通技巧。）”适合作为本段的中心句。故答案选D。

As we drove home, I was so moved by what we had seen that I could 52 speak. “She changed the world,” I finally said, “one small plant at a time. She started almost 40 years
ago, probably just the 53 of an idea, but she kept at it.”
The wonder of it would not let me go. “Imagine,” I said, “if I’d had a dream and 54 it, just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished ” Carolyn looked at me sideways, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said, “ 55 yet, start today.”

One day, my elder brother and I were coming back from the islands where we often risked going with other fishermen. All at once, the sky over our heads was covered with dark clouds and in less than a minute we were in a terrible storm. Strangely, it seemed that the storm struck us only. I could clearly see that the sun shone brightly in the area not far away.
With the wind and waves, we were going in the direction of the whirlpool (旋涡). Other fishermen were in a very distant area without noticing what we were experiencing. We shouted for help but in vain. We were hopeless. Nothing could save us. I felt sick, as if I was falling from a mountain top in a dream. We went round and round, nearer and nearer to the horrible edge of the whirlpool. It may appear strange, but at that moment, when we were on the edge of the whirlpool, I felt calmer than when we were moving towards it. I began to think how amazing a thing it was to die in such a way, and how wonderful it was to see the power of nature. Suddenly, we went over the edge. I thought my life was over. But moment after moment passed, and I was still safe.
The boat was on the inside of the huge whirlpool and we were going round in circles at great speed. I saw clearly that there were other objects in the whirlpool---trees and barrels (桶子). After a while, I became curious about the whirlpool itself. I then made three important observations. The first, the larger the bodies were, the more rapidly they fell; the second, between two objects of equal extent, round objects fell down less rapidly; and the third, between two objects of the same size, objects shaped like a tube fell down more slowly.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

参考范文：
So I tied myself to a barrel and jumped into the sea. Seeing what I did, my brother also found a barrel. After he finished tying, I shouted to him, "Jump!" Without waiting, he jumped into the sea and we tried hard to escape. We couldn't see anything in the sea. The only thing we could do is try our best to swim away from the whirlpool. Some time after we left the boat, it was pulled into the bottom of the whirlpool. Soon after that, the whirlpool became less wild.
Then the sky was clear, the wind calmer, and the sun was shining. We were still tied to the barrels and the waves soon carried us to an area where the other fishermen were. In the end, a boat picked us up. We were very tired. The fishermen were our old friends, but they were unable to recognize us. When we told them our story, they looked astonished and in disbelief. Then I told them what observations I made. They all praised my calmness and carefulness. From this experience, I learned that no matter how dangerous the situation is, stay calm and observe carefully, then we can find the solution.
