Great Apps That'll Make Your Life Easier

2

1. Freedom

One-sentence Benefit: Have a distraction-free workday by blocking websites.

Freedom prevents the guilty pleasures that we all have of checking our emails, social media, or other websites that distract us from getting things done. What's useful about this productivity app is that you can use it on any of your devices(i. e., mobile, tablet, desktop),and it allows you to schedule blocked-off times ahead of time. 2. Hemingway App

One-sentence Benefit: It's basically your personal editor.

Hemingway has been a dear friend of mine ever since I've started blogging back in 2013.Whenever I write an important post for my blog, I go to Hemingway to make sure my writing is error-free.

All you have to do is copy and paste your article into Hemingway, and it will analyze your writing from its readability, grammar errors, alternative suggestions, and so on. 3. Wunderlist

One-sentence Benefit: Meet the ultimate to-do list organizer.

I used to have one giant to-do list, where I would write down all of my tasks for the week. It didn't quite occur in my mind that I should be creating different categories within my to-do list,in order to keep it organized and focused, until my friend recommended Wunderlist.

Now I have over 15 different lists, from personal, work, health, and so on, and it certainly gives me a peace of mind. 4. News Feed Eradicator

One-sentence Benefit: Replace your friend's vacation photos with inspirational quotes.

Scrolling (滚屏) through your Facebook News Feed can be a workout on its own. While I love staying up-to-date with my friends, I haven't felt the need to depend on Facebook to do this.

While there's no data to back this up, my level of productivity and overall happiness seems to have increased since I've stopped consuming what others are up to, and started focusing on what I want to do. 21.

As a printmaker (版画家), drawing is a tool to make my prints, rather than an end result in itself. I make three kinds of drawing when I am developing a print: observational sketches,composition thumbnails (缩略图) and then what I call the “ design drawing”, which is the final design to transfer onto my block. Here's how all three methods work for me.

Firstly, I see observational drawing as visual note taking and I take a ma gpie approach to collecting ideas. Sometimes

3

that means an organised sketchbook and special pencils; sometimes I have to beg a pencil from a stranger and use the back of a paper bag. The trick is to take down anything that catches my fancy, even if it is just a couple of lines.

I am careful to keep this collection of sparks safe—— it often takes me a couple of years to get around to using. an idea, especially some of the more random ones! I regularly scan through my collection, hunting for ideas and often combining several together, old and new, to create a print.

I then use thumbnail sketches to plan my print's composition and to develop the ideas got from my observational work. I use a soft pencil and cheap paper for this because I am seeking information, not an appealing drawing. Thumbnails help me to run through many options and experiments with little effort, while their very simplicity allows me to check my shapes are good and that I have the right balance of light and dark areas—— the key to a strong composition.

The final step is to draw the final design as the basis for my print. I always try to develop the image as a whole rather than focusing on fragments, working over the entire drawing very loosely with lots of scribbled (潦草的) pencil lines. Then I edit repeatedly, keeping relevant lines and erasing others, sometimes cropping the work or enlarging it, often sacrificing pleasing details for the good of the whole. 24. How does the author collect ideas? A. By communicating with strangers. B. By keeping the sparks in a notebook. C. By visiting museums and art galleries. D. By recording any possible inspirations.

25. Which of the following can best describe the author's way of doing composition? A. Better to be safe than sorry. B. Progress through trial and error. C. Always put your best foot forward.

D. Be slow in choosing, but slower in changing.

26. Which principle does the author follow in the final step? A. Focusing on the overall effect. B. Achieving simplicity and harmony. C. Working on the details persistently. D. Combining different painting styles.

27. What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To reveal some tricks in art design. B. To share experience in artistic creation. C. To discuss the elements of good prints. D. To analyze techniques of art expression.

C

The conventional wisdom about insects has been that they are unthinking, unfeeling creatures whose behavior is entirely hardwired (天生的). But in the 1990s researchers began making surprising discoveries about insect minds. Some species of wasps (黄蜂) recognize their nest mates’ faces and acquire impressive social skills. For example, they can infer the fighting strengths of other wasps relative to their own just by watching other wasps fight among themselves.

Given the substantial work on the complexity of insect cognition (认知), it might seem surprising that it took scientists so long to ask whether, if they are that smart, could also be sentient, capable of feeling. Since we have no direct window into the inner world of an animal that cannot verbally communicate its thoughts and feelings, the question of whether insects

4

are sentient remained academic.

15 years ago, I performed an experiment in which we asked whether bumblebees could learn about t hreat from their natural enemies. We built a plastic spider model with a mechanism that would briefly trap a bumblebee between two sponges before releasing it. The bumblebees showed a significant change in their behavior after being attacked by the robotic spider. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they learned to avoid flowers with spiders and meticulously scanned every flower before landing. Curiously, however, they some times even fled from imaginary threats, scanning and then abandoning a perfectly safe, spider-free flower. Although this incidental observation did not constitute formal ev idence of an emotionlike state, it did open the door to the idea that such states might exist in insects.

Some research suggested that insects might have positive states of mind. Researchers discovered that bees actively seek out drugs such as nicotin e and caffein e when given the choice and even treat themselves with nicotin e when sick. Male fruit flies stressed by being robbed of mating opportunities prefer food containing alcohol, and bees even show withdrawal symptoms when removed from an alcohol-rich diet.

Why would insects consume mind-altering substances if there isn't a mind to alter? But these suggestive hints of negative and positive mind states still fell short of what was needed to demonstrate that insects are sentient. 28. What does the example of the wasps indicate? A. Insects show signs of intelligence. B. Insects can do complex calculations. C. Insects can socialize in a skillful way. D. Insects live in highly complex societies.

29. What does the underlined word“meticulously” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Hesitantly. B. Casually. C. Eagerly. D. Carefully.

30. What was unexpected about the bumblebees' behavior in the experiment? A. They avoided flowers with spiders. B. They settled on flowers despite threats. C. They might abandon spider-free flowers. D. They might get scared away by other insects. 31. What does the text mainly discuss? A. What insects' various behavior can reveal. B. How insects communicate their thoughts. C. What amazing powers insects possess. D. Whether insects are capable of feeling.

D

The scientist's job is to figure out how the world works, to “torture (拷问) ” Nature to reveal her secrets, as the 17th century philosopher Francis Bacon described it. But who are these people in the lab coats(or sports jackets, or T-shirts and jeans) and how do they work? It turns out that there is a good deal of mystery surrounding the mystery-solvers.

“One of the greatest mysteries is the question of what it is about human beings—— brains,education, culture etc. —— that makes them capable of doing science at all,”said Colin Allen,a cognitive scientist at Indiana University.

Two vital ingredients seem to be necessary to make a scientist: the curiosity to seek out mysteries and the creativity to solve them.“Scientists exhibit a heightened level of curiosity,”reads a 2007 report on scientific creativity. “They go further and deeper into basic questions showing a passion for knowledge for its own sake.” Max Planck, one of the fathers of quantum physics, once said, the scientist“must have a vivid and intuitive imagination, for new ideas are not generated by

5

deduction(推论), but by an artistically creative imagination.”

But others disagree with this universal scientific mind. They believe that scientists have special abilities that set them apart. Discovering these abilities may be hard, Allen thinks, as many scientists will be reluctant to reveal them and would prefer to preserve the mystery of creativity, fearing that if it became an object of study it would lose its magic.

But for Allen, this is all part of a bigger question of what lies behind anyone's behavior.“We are only just beginning to understand how the characteristics of organisms, including ourselves, aren't the fixed products of either genes or of environment/culture, but each of us is the product of a continual interactive process in which we help build the environments that in turn shape us,” he said.

“As long as our best technology for seeing inside the brain requires subjects to lie nearly motionless while surrounded by a giant magnet, we're only going to make limited pro gress on these questions,” Allen said. 32. Why does the author mention Max Planck in paragraph 3? A. To introduce a famous scientist. B. To stress the role of creativity in science. C. To compare different views on science. D.To illustrate what is curiosity inscience.

33. What do Allen's words in the last two paragraphs suggest? A. Human behavior is changeable and unpredictable. B. We are passively influenced by our genes and culture. C. Our interaction with the environment makes us who we are. D. Current technology has revealed a lot about human behavior. 34. What is Allen's attitude to the current study on the human brain? A. Cautious. B. Indifferent. C. Approving. D. Pessimistic. 35. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Who Are The Mystery-solvers B. Scientists Are Not Born But Made C. Great Mystery: What Makes A Scientist D. Solving Mysteries: Inside A Scientist's Mind 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分 12.5分)

Emotions are inherent (固有的) in the human experience and play a significant role in children's lives. Emotional resilience is a critical component of success, helping children navigate life's inevitable ups and downs. 36 . Parents can try the following steps to help their children develop this power. Step 1: Build an emotional toolkit

Children aren't born knowing how to manage and express difficult feelings, such as anger or hurt. They need to learn about various emotions and what behaviors are acceptable. 37 .When parents openly express their emotions, regardless of whether they are appropriately expressed, children watch; listen, and learn. So, parents should establish healthy emotional habits to serve as a guide for children.

38 . Some children may seek comfort in hugs, while others prefer physical space. Some may find gentle music soothing (安抚的), while others find it irritating. Parents can assist children in finding emotional resources based on their personality and individual needs. Step 2: 39

Helping children connect with their emotional lives includes all emotions, not just pleasant ones. For instance, well-

6

intentioned adults may say, “Don't be angry” or“There is nothing to be sad about”, but this may shut down the exploration of those feelings rather than addressing them. When this avoidance is repeated, it interferes with the understanding and mastery of difficult emotions.

Step 3: Help children regulate and co-regulate

Children often need parents to help them navigate intense emotions. 40 . This process is called“co-regulation,” when one person soothes another.

Co-regulation does not mean parents should always rush in to“fix” children's discomfort,particularly if they don't want help. Children also need space to work through struggles on their own to build emotional competence. A. It is a potential superpower B. Accept and validate all emotions C. Children learn by observing adults D. Be a good parent by always being there E. Building an emotional toolkit is no easy task F. Finding preferred coping skills is a personal process

G. They rely on adults' more ma ture nervous systems to find stability 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共15 小题;每小题 1分,满分15分)

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The walk I'd plotted was 22 miles to the coast. It is enough to get the legs 41 and the mind cleared. But the real 42 for me was walking to a definite point in our country's outline.

I was wondering if I'd have the endurance (耐力) and determination to do it. I am, after all, in my late 40s. I 43 the coast at 7: 00 am. I was, for the day, an arrow. My line of flight was as straight and short as I could make it.

44 the five-hour mark, I was in a good state of body and mind. The 45 of the usual routine had been eased by daydreams. From this point on, the 46 seemed to change.The banks on either side were larger, and the grasses longer, even though the sea was still miles off.

Things were getting 47 . Despite feeling like I was nearly “there”, I still had four miles to go. I was hurting, my knees. I 48 the painkillers down with my secret weapon:coffee. Studies have shown caffeine 49 endurance and it kept me going.

Try as I might, I still couldn't see my walk's end. I could even smell a(n) 50 in the air, but the horizon remained 51 in salt marsh (盐沼地). Then, almost without realizing it, I was “there”.

Where I had hoped to see the 52 , I saw salt marsh, like the chocolate milkshake of the North Sea! Feeling like a bit of a fool, I headed down into the nearest marsh and left my boot prints in the mud. The seven-and-a half-hour walk had hurt my 53 , but I'd acted on an old idea,done it, and 54 it off my list. I was now free to think of new ones and move on, in this dawn of possibilities we all face. Life is too short to let ideas stagnate (停滞); now's the time to turn them to 55 . 41.

A Trashion Show

第二节(满分25分)

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。

It was my sixth-grade year. I was overjoyed when the U. S. Navy band came to perform in our town. It was an event I'd never forget, and one instrument stood out above all others. That day, at 12 years old, I fell in love with the heavenly sound that came from the trumpets (小号),and a dream was born. Someday, I wanted to join a military band onstage as a

8

guest performer.

My father took notice of my enthusiasm and bought me a used trumpet. I practiced every day, training my lips, mastering my breathing, until I felt at one with the instrument. I made first chair and played trumpet through high school. “Someday I'll play along with a military band,” I told my friends. The details I left to God to figure out, while I pursued a more practical life course. Rather than declaring a performance major in college, I studied to be a music teacher.

Now I was blessed to be at this military band concert, a magic al after noon that had brought with it a trip down memory lane.

After the concert, I made my way to the stage to thank Colonel (上校) Carino, the conductor of the military band. When he learned I taught music in town and played trumpet, he invited me to play a trumpet solo(独奏) at their next concert in the park.

A solo? I couldn't remember the last time I'd taken my trumpet out of its case. I doubted I'd even be able to get a decent note out of it. “Sir, that's impossible. I'm sorry, but there's no way.” “In the Army,” the colonel thundered, “you don't say no!”

I felt scared and trapped. Yet, a lingering thought took root: “Is it possible that life is opening the door to my childhood dream?” I said yes to the invitation. I knew I had to do my part and practiced for hours every day. My lips swelled and then bled.

注意: 1.续写词数应为 150 左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

As time passed, Colonel Carino took an unexpected role in my preparation. I stood on stage next to Manuel, my performance partner.

A Trashion Show

Last Saturday, our school auditorium witnessed a hot“trashion”show, a fashion show featuring outfits made of trash.

The event was aimed at promoting awareness about the huge amount of waste that we produce in our day-to-day lives, much of which sadly goes unrecycled. Numerous students volunteered to model for the show. They walked the runway in costumes cleverly put together with discarded items, ranging from plastic bottles to newspapers.

The response from the audience was incredibly positive. Not only did the event showcase the remarkable creativity of our peers, but it also served as a powerful reminder for all of us to reconsider our daily consumption habits. After all, a sustainable future is shaped by the daily choices we make.

第二节(满分25分) 【参考范文】

As time passed, Colonel Carino took an unexpected role in my preparation. Sensing my anxiety,

he made a thoughtful adjustment to the original plan. Rather than facing the solo challenge, I would have Manuel, an accomplished trumpet player, as my partner. Every evening after the band’s practice, Colonel Carino arranged for Manuel to tutor me. Under his supervision and with Manuel’s expertise, I revisited fundamental techniques and honed the skills I’d neglected. Colonel Carino’s unique combination of disci Pline and empathy gradually restored my confidence. With each session, I felt more inspired to push beyond my boundaries. Before I knew it, the concer t day arrived.

I stood on stage next to Manuel, my performance partner. The spotlights ca st a warm glow around us, and the atmosphere was charged with anticipation. As the first notes flowed from our trumpets, all my nerves vanished. Together, Manuel and I played in harmony. Surprisingly,I played better than I had during my best practices. As we finished our performance, the crowd leap t to their feet, showering us with applause. Meeting Colonel Carino’s proud gaze, I was overwhelmed with gratitude. My childhood dream had been real ized. Not only had I performed with a military band, but I had also forged memories that I would cherish forever. 【解析】 第二部分 阅读 第一节

30. C 理解具体信息。根据原文信息“Curiously, however, they sometimes even fled from imaginary

threats, scanning and then abandoning a perfectly safe, spider-free flower. ”可得知,很奇怪的是,大黄蜂们有时候甚至会被想象中的威胁所吓跑,他们查看一圈之后会放弃一朵很安全、没有蜘蛛的花。

31. D 理解主旨要义。文章第二段第一句“Given the substantial work on the complexity of insect

cognition (认知), it might seem surprising that it took scientists so long to ask whether, if they are

12

that smart, could also be sentient, capable of feeling. ”为文章的主旨句,所以文章主要探讨动物是否也有感受。

D

语篇类型:议论文 主题语境:人与社会

【语篇导读】世界上有众多谜团,但最大的谜团之一就是哪些因素造就了科学家,科学家们具备什么样的特点。

32. B 推理判断。根据文章的信息可知,作者引用普朗克的话是为了证明科学家需要有丰富的想象

力和创造力,因为真正的想法不能靠演绎推理而产生,只能凭借创造力。

33. C 理解具体信息。根据倒数第二段的信息“We are only just beginning to understand how the

characteristics of organisms, including ourselves, aren't the fixed products of either genes or of environment/culture, but each of us is the product of a continual interactive process in which we help build the environments that in turn shape us, ”可得知, Allen认为生物体的特征,包括我们人类自己,并不是基因或者环境/文化的固定产物。我们每个个体都是一种持续地和环境相互影响、相互作用的产物。

34. D 理解观点态度。根据文章最后一段的内容“As long as our best technology for seeing inside the

brain requires subjects to lie nearly motionless while surrounded by a giant magnet, we're only going to make limited progress on these questions, ”得知, Allen 认为只要我们最好的研究大脑的技术仍然要求受试者躺在那里一动不动,我们在认识这些问题上的进步就会非常有限。

35. C 理解主旨要义。根据第二段信息“One of the greatest mysteries is the question of what it is about

human beings—— brains, education, culture etc.—— that makes them capable of doing science at all, ”及后文内容得知,文章主要探讨了到底是哪些因素造就了科学家。

第二节

语篇类型:说明文 主题语境:人与自我

【语篇导读】如何能够帮助孩子成长为具有高情商的人。 36. A 代词“It”指代前文的“Emotional resilience”。

37. C 承接前文信息“They need to learn about various emotions and what behaviors are acceptable. ”孩子

们需要学习,后一句讲孩子们如何学习。

38. F 考查段落大意。根据后文信息可知,不同的孩子可能会喜欢不同的方式,所以找到自己喜欢

的应对负面情绪的方式的过程是因人而异的。

39. B 文段第一句就提出了主旨大意。家长需要教会孩子接纳所有的情绪,包括负面的情绪。 40. G 本句承上启下。前一句讲孩子们需要父母帮助他们处理好非常激烈的情绪,空格处就该写如

何帮助。且后一句讲到了这个过程叫作“co-regulation”,也就是孩子依靠父母更成熟的神经系统要求到一种情绪稳定的过程。
