第二部分 阅读理解(共 20 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 40 分)
第一节 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
NEW HAVEN, Connecticut—A surprise awaited students in Yale who showed up for Professor
Laurie Santo’s class. They got slips of paper that said, “No class today.” There was only one rule for
the students’ unexpected free time—They were not allowed to study, but to relax. Since exams and
papers were coming up, everyone was tired and stressed. At this moment they were touched. With
around applause, nine students hugged Santos, and two burst into tears.
Yet, cancelling class was not just a break. It was also a challenge, as she was asking them to stop
worrying about their grades, even if it was just an hour. One student went to the Yale University Art
Gallery for the first time in her four years at Yale. A group of students went to a recording studio and
played a new song. More people were outside, and more were smiling. That’s why about 1, 200
students were taking Santo’s class, called “Psychology and the Good Life,” the largest class in Yale’s
317-year history. Even non-Yale students had the chance to take Santo’s class. It was offered as an
online course and she immediately became an Internet hit.
Skyler Robinson, one of her students, was at a loss for a while about what to do during his break,
and then decided to take a nap. “It was a great nap,” he commented. Santos designed the class after
she realized that her students kept busy through long days that seemed far more depressing and
joyless than her own college years. “They feel they’re in this crazy rat race. They’re working so hard
that they can’t take a single hour off. That’s awful.”
The ideas behind the class are simple. Santos said, “It is the hope that science can help students
find peace among all the stresses and difficulties they face at college.” The lessons include showing
more gratitude, performing acts of kindness and increasing social connections. The students really
wanted to learn to lead a happy life in a science-driven way. Santos also noted the psychological
happening of “mis-wanting”, which led people to work towards the wrong goals in life.
One week, Santo asked students to exercise. Another week, she wanted them to get more sleep.
They worked hard to keep some new habits. Social science research led to many new
understandings of how people find happiness. She thinks her class can change Yale, or rather, not
just Yale.
21. How did students respond to the cancelling class?
A. They expressed their concern. B. They were at a loss what to do.
C. They showed gratitude to the teacher. D. They were eager to study individually.
22. How can we know Santo’s class was popular?
A. From the attendance in her class.
B. From the subject she taught.
C. From the long history of Yale.
D. From the release of the online course.
23. What can students learn from Santo’s class?
A. To develop good study habits.
B. To let exercise become their routine.
C. To better understand how to find happiness.
D. To do something joyful during the stressful time.
24. What can we infer from the text?
A. Santos had a more stressful time in her college.
B. Students would be in rat race after Santo’s class.
C. Santo’s influence can reach a wider range of people.
D. Santos is going to cancel more classes for better effects.高三年级下学期一调英语试卷 (共 7 页) 高三年级下学一调英语试卷第 页3
B
As unpleasant emotions go, anxiety is the roughest. It’s a vague, pit-of-the-stomach fear that
sneaks up to you -- that unease you get when your boss says that she needs to talk to you right away,
when the phone rings at 4:00 a.m., or when your dentist looks into your mouth and says “Hmm” for
the third time.
Lasting anxiety can keep you up at night, make you bad-tempered, weaken your ability to
concentrate, and ruin your appetite. And the constant state of readiness generated by anxiety--
heart racing, palms sweating -- may contribute to high blood pressure and heart disease.
How to prevent anxiety then?
Meditate. Maybe you’re just anxious. If so, meditation( 冥 想) is worth a try. It cultivates a
calmness that eases anxious feelings and offers a sense of control. A study at the University of
Massachusetts found that volunteers who took an 8-week meditation course were considerably less
anxious afterward. People who are anxious find that they are dramatically calmer with 20 minutes
of meditation in the morning and another 20 minutes after dinner.
Jog,walk, swim, or cycle. If you can’t make time for meditation, be sure to make time for
regular exercise. Exercise can have the same calming effect as meditation, particularly if it’s
something repetitive like running or swimming laps.
Treatment?
Remember to breathe. When you’re anxious, you tend to hold your breath or breathe too
shallowly. That makes you feel more anxious. Breathing slowly and deeply can have a calming effect.
To make sure that you’re breathing correctly, place your hand on your diaphragm( 横膈膜), just
below your rib cage(胸腔). Feel it rise with each breath in and fall with each breath out.
Let’s say you are anxious about your competence on the job. Ask yourself “What, in particular,
am I afraid that I’ll mess up?” Maybe you’re afraid that you get further behind and miss your
deadlines. Or maybe you’re worried that you’re blowing it whenever you present your ideas in
meetings. Have you had several near misses with deadlines? Are your suggestions routinely rejected?
If not, the anxiety is needless. If there is a real problem, work on a solution: Pace yourself to better
meet deadlines, or join a public speaking class.
25. Which of the following symptoms is NOT directly caused by anxiety?
A. Lower in concentration. B. No appetite.
C. Heart racing. D. High blood pressure.
26. According to the passage, what can be done to avoid anxiety?
A. Exercising regularly. B. Keeping breath steady.
C. Breathing shallowly with the help of hands. D. Adjusting the pace of life.
27. What is the last paragraph about?
A. Anxiety at work and its solutions. B. People’s anxiety about their capabilities.
C. The reason for someone’s incompetence. D. The function of public speaking class.
C
One man’s white bread is another man’s green vegetables.
That’s the key from The Personalised Diet, a new book from Israeli authors Eran Segal and Eran
Elinav. The authors say it’s time to admit to ourselves that one-size-fits-all diets don’t work, and
when it comes to nutrition,it’s about doing what works best for your body, not catching the latest
diet fashion.
“For years,we’ve been trying to search for that silver-bullet diet and we’ve been miserably
failing,” Segal said. “And that’s because the best diet for each person really has to be tailored to that
individual.”
They conducted a personalised nutrition project at Weizmann, where hundreds of volunteers
agreed to have their blood sugar tested after meals. One participant in the study, a woman named 高三年级下学期一调英语试卷 (共 7 页) 高三年级下学一调英语试卷第 页4
Ruti, said she was surprised that it was tomatoes -- not ice cream or candies -- that were raising her
blood sugar level. Ruti recalled, “I have now significantly reduced my intake of tomato and I’m
feeling much more energetic, which still surprises me. I have already lost a couple of pounds, and I
have high hopes that I have finally found the answer to my weight struggle, too.”
The Israeli scientists found that some people can consume traditionally unhealthy foods with little
or no rise in their blood sugar levels, while others have a stronger response, and therefore shouldn’t
eat those foods. It’s those kinds of results that you can only find from a personalised diet.
“What we were surprised to find out was just like any other food, there is no such thing as good
bread,” Elinav said. “The response to bread was completely individualised.”
28. What is suggested in the first sentence?
A. Everyone has their own tastes.
B. Nutrition serves your body best.
C. People’s response to the same food is different.
D. The latest diet doesn’t fit each person.
29. What does “that silver-bullet diet” refer to?
A. A diet that is low in fat.
B. A diet that begins a new diet trend.
C. A diet that works best for everyone.
D. A diet that provides all the nutrition.
30. Ruti’s example suggests that to control weight, one needs to .
A. eat much fewer tomatoes
B. control their blood sugar levels
C. struggle for weight loss constantly
D. eat according to his or her blood sugar level
31. Why is Elinav’s opinion on bread mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To advise people not to eat unhealthy food.
B. To stress the need of the personalised diet.
C. To explain the popularity of white bread.
D. To show the importance of good bread.
D
Archaeologists used DNA taken from a broken clay pipe stem found in Maryland to build a
picture of an enslaved woman who died around 200 years ago and had origins in modern-day Sierra
Leone. One researcher called the work “a mind-blower.”
“In this particular context, and from that time period, I think it’s a first,” team member Hannes
Schroeder told The Washington Post. “To be able to get DNA from an object like a pipe stem is quite
exciting. Also it is exciting for descendant(后裔) communities. Through this technology, they’re able
to make a connection not only to the site but potentially back to Africa.”
The pipe stem was found at the Belvoir plantation in Crownsville, Maryland, where enslaved
people lived until 1864 and where a likely slave cemetery was recently found. DNA taken from the
pipe linked back to a woman either directly from or descended from the Mende people, who lived in
west Africa, in an area now part of Sierra Leone.
Julie Schablitsky, the chief archaeologist with the Maryland state highway administration, told
The Post the discovery, based on saliva(唾液) absorbed into the clay pipe, was a “mind-blower”. She
also said records show the existence of a slave trade route Sierra Leone to Annapolis, plied(定期往
来) by British and American ships. “As soon as people stepped on those slave ships in Africa,” she
said, “whether they were from Benin or whether they were from Sierra Leone, wherever they were
from, that identity was lost. Their humanity is robbed. Who they are as a people has gone.”
The new analysis is part of ongoing research around Belvoir that has given descendants of the
people enslaved there new insight into the lives of their ancestors. Speaking to The Post, Nancy 高三年级下学期一调英语试卷 (共 7 页) 高三年级下学一调英语试卷第 页5
Daniels, a genealogist from Laurel, Maryland, who thinks she is a descendant of enslaved families
from Belvoir but was not linked to the research on the pipe, called the discovery “overwhelming.”
“I’m sitting here about ready to cry,” she said. “I’m sorry. I'm so happy ... Thank God for the DNA.”
This year, events and ceremonies are being held to mark the 400th anniversary of the arrival of
the first enslaved people in America, at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619.
32. What does the phrase “a mind-blower” in paragraphs 1 and 4 refer to?
A. A surprise B. A confusion C. An excitement D. A fascination
33. According to Hannes Schroeder, the pipe stem was of great significance because________.
A. it was the first direct evidence that slaves living in Maryland were originally from Africa.
B. it helped the archaeologists to draw a portrait of the enslaved woman.
C. it might contribute to identifying the birthplace of the descendant communities.
D. it contained genetic clues to the ancestral background of its owner.
34. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The owner of the pipe once lived in what is now an area in west Africa.
B. The history of slavery in America is an ongoing topic of concern.
C. African slaves lost their identities when they arrived at the Belvoir plantation.
D. Nancy Daniels, a genealogist was sorry for not being involved in the research.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. DNA from an old pipe throws lights on the origins of the enslaved
B. A new research reveals the origins of enslaved African woman
C. The descendants of enslaved people seek their identities
D. DNA contributes to the breakthrough of a new research

Art galleries are places in which artists can display all types of works of art, including paintings,
drawings, photographs, sculptures,etc. 36 At the same time, however, each artwork must
be protected from exposure to too much light since that can cause works to fade and therefore get
ruined. 37
The most common form of lighting used to light up artwork is indoor spotlights on tracks attached
to the ceiling near where the work is being displayed. 38 It permits the lights to be moved
more easily when the light patterns require adjusting. Recessed(嵌入的)lights in walls and ceilings
can be useful so long as they are not fixed in place but can instead be easily moved to create ideal
light patterns. Most art gallery directors state that a combination of tracked and recessed light
equipment is ideal because the tracked lights focus directly on the artwork while the recessed lights
are used on the nearby walls to provide a surrounding light source. 39
How to angle the lights depends upon the height of the ceiling and the size of the artwork.
Caution must be taken to avoid creating too many areas with shadows or to have the lights cause a
glare on the artwork. Besides, the lights should not be bare bulbs burning directly on the artwork
but should be made in some way to make the lighting softer. According to experts, low voltage( 电
压)bulbs are the best to use when lighting artwork. 40 Thus artwork should be placed in a room
where sunlight can’t directly hit it.
A. It can make the displays attractive.
B. Using tracked lighting is beneficial.
C. Light plays a key role in art galleries.
D. This light source can better improve the mood surrounding the work.
E. To better improve their appearance, the display area needs to be well lit.
F. Finding a happy medium between not enough light and too much of it requires considerable skill
and experience.
G. Above all, natural light should be avoided since direct sunlight will damage artwork, particularly
paintings,over time.高三年级下学期一调英语试卷 (共 7 页) 高三年级下学一调英语试卷第 页6

It was a math test, for which I have prepared for a long time. So much importance I attach to it
that I even felt a little nervous before a test. My heart began to beat wild immediately I took my
seat in the classrooms. Looking at the test paper, our mind went blank. I attempted to focus my
