As a kid, I dictated stories to my parents. About 12 years ago, I was living in New York City and pursuing a master5 s in creative writing. For years f d been suffering vision disorder, but in New York my symptoms worsened. I became unable to read or write for any considerable length of time. I tried vision therapy (疗法),an overhead projector, a special pair of glasses一all in vain.Eventually, I discovered a computer program for the visually challenged. As I typed, my words were read aloud by an automated voice. With my screen dimmed to black, I relied entirely on audio feedback to know what I had written.Facing the blank page is worrying, but facing the black page is worse. The dark screen is a sinkhole that swallows creative hope. Sentences disappear into it like an astronaut into a black hole. I managed to complete my master* s degree, but it took me years to adapt to my new reality. The greatest barrier seemed to be the automated voice, which was like a robot parrot on my shoulder, and I wanted nothing more than to drive it away. If a pianist were forced to practice on an untuned piano would it corrupt his ear over time?Of course, I could have quit writing and stopped making myself suffer. But it honestly never occurred to me-and I'm glad it didn* t. Last year, after I told my story on the radio, I was contacted by VbcaliD, a Massachusetts- based company that created a voice modeled on my own.The first time I heard the voice they created, it is so close to my own that the two are nearly indistinguishable. I've only just begun using this new voice. My hope is that this will restore a sense of solitude (孤独)to my writing process, allowing me easier access to that inner space where the imagination can take over, and I can forget myself, and the real work can begin.The black screen still exists-it always will-but the robot parrot has taken wing.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章记述了一位视力障碍者的写作之路。4.

I became unable to read or write for any considerable lenglh of time.“可知,作者在纽约攻读创意写作硕士学位时,视力 障碍的病症恶化了,不能长时间地读或写,故B项正确。5. What still bothered the author after he got his master,s degree?A.

How did the author feel when he first heard the voice created by VocaliD?A. Excited.B. Annoyed.C. Unmoved.D.

After they had completed the first, they were made to wait 15 minutes to receive the next one. They were given a choice of either handing in the first survey nearby or at a more distant location they had to walk to. Whichever option they chose, they received a chocolate bar. It turned out that approximately two- thirds (68 students) chose the lazy option. Those who had taken the walk reported feeling happier than those who had stayed put.Prof. Hsee concluded that keeping busy helped keep people happy. He said the findings, reported in the journal Psychological Science, had policy implications.Governments may increase the happiness of idle citizens by having them build bridges that are actually useless, M he proposed.At the individual level, he advised, “Get up and do something. Anything. Even if there really is no point to what you are doing, you will feel better for it. " He added, u Incidentally, thinking deeply or engaging in self- reflection counts as keeping busy, too.”“You do not need to be running around.

This question has been in my head ever since I spent a night in a hotel across from a sad-looking fish.The pleasant woman at the front desk assured me that he was well taken care of. Was I incorrectly assuming his laziness was a sign of being upset?When I sought answers from scientists, 1 assumed that they would find the question ridiculous, but they did not. New research has been totally shifting the way that scientists think about fish cognition (认知),building a case that pets and owners are not nearly as different as many assumed. The neurochemistry (神经化学)is so similar that it's scary, said Julian Pittman, a professor. We tend to think of them as simple living things, but there is a lot we don t give fish credit for.Dr. Pittman likes working with fish, in part because they are so obvious about their depression. A zebra fish gets dropped in a new tank. If after five minutes it is hanging down in the lower half, it's depressed. If it's swimming up the top, then it's not.Is depression the right word? There, s an obvious issue that we cannot ask animals how they feel, says Dr. Diego A. Pizzagalli. Neither fish nor rats can catch the entire range of depression as we know it.There is a heated debate about whether “anxious“ or udepressedn is a more appropriate term. But what has convinced Dr. Pittman and others over the past ten years is watching the way the zebra fish lose interest in just about everything: food, toys, exploration, just like clinically depressed people who are withdrawn. The same is true of fish.One of the things we' re finding is that fish arc naturally curious and seek novel things out, said Dr. Braithwaite. In other words, your goldfish is probably bored. To help get rid of depression, she urges introducing new objects to the tank or switching the locations of items.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。最新科学研究发现鱼也会有抑郁情绪, 这颠覆了人们以往的认知。12. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Fish arc considered simple living things.B. Pets and owners are always assumed to be the same.C. Scientists have learnt a lot about fish cognition.D. Fish and human beings have something in common.D 段落大意题。根据文章第三段中的“building a case that pets and owners are not nearly as different as many assumed”及“The neurochemistry is so similar that it's scary”可推知,该段主要讲鱼和人类有一些共同之处,应选D。13. What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in paragraph 6 probably mean?A. Quiet and shy.B. Happy and excited.C. Interested and careful.D. Disappointed and surprised.A 词义猜想题。根据画线词所在句 “jusl like clinically depressed people who are wilhdrawn”可知,该画线词描述患抑郁症的人的特点,结合常识可推知,A 项(安静且羞怯)符合语境。14. Why can fish become bored according to the text?A. They need oxygen from the air.B. They are not born to be curious.C. They lack new things to explore.D. They can* t locate the positions of items.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“One of the things. seek novel things out”及 “ To help get rid of depression, she urges introducing new objects ” 可4隹次口, 鱼有厌烦情绪的原因是其没有新奇的事物去探索,因此选C。15. What might be the best title for the text?A. Fish Depression Is Not a Joke.B. Fish Can Be a Boring Pet.C. Fish Need More Better Care.D. Fish Cognition Does Not Exist.A 标题归纳题。根据文章首段中的“Can a fish be depressed? ”,第三段 中的 u When I sought answers from scientists, I assumed that they would find the question ridiculous, but they did not. v 及第六段中的"The same is true of fish.“可 知,全文的主题是鱼也会抑郁,故A项“鱼会抑郁不是一个笑话”可作文章的 最正确标题。II.阅读七选五(2021山东局部重点中学综合考试)Criticism (批评)is harmful to healthy relationships. It's okay to express disappointment if someone is behaving in a way that hurts you .1 The following are some ways to catch criticism before itbegins.2 Before you criticize, pause and consider whether you really need to say anything at all. If someone did something to get on your nerves, would you really need to point it out? Sometimes, it's best to let small rudeness go . Take a few deep breaths and leave the room instead of criticizing.Be realistic. Critical people often have very high expectations of those around them. Your tendency to criticize may come from expecting too much from others. Sometimes you may find yourself consistently annoyed or disappointed with others. 3Separate the individuals from their actions. Critical people often focus on the negative aspects of a situation or a person, failing to see good qualities alongside negative ones. If you find yourself making assumptions about a person' s character, stop yourself. 4 We all behave poorly sometimes, but a single action is not a reflection of the character.Focus on positives. Oftentimes, being critical results from how you' rc choosing to see a situation. 5 However, the vast majority of people have good qualities that outweigh the bad ones. Try to focus on a person* s positive qualities over their negative ones.A. Never criticize others.B. Think before you speak.C. Everyone has drawbacks and imperfections.D. It may be a good idea to adjust your expectations.E. We should focus on other people's disappointing actions.F. Try to separate a disappointing action
