sitting at my desk when another grad student in my lab approached me.“Can you help?”he asked.His experiment wasnt working and he desperately needed help.I was then a fifth yearPhD student,and I took pride in being the senior member of the lab,whom everyone looked up to.But that also meant I was the one everyone turned to for help which ate away hours,days,andsometimes weeks that I could have spent on my own research.There were many reasons I had a hard time saying no to such pleas(恳求).I was new to theUnited States for graduate school.I found it difficult to make new friends and discover activities Ienjoyed.So I spent a huge chunk of my time in the lab,with my lab-mates serving as my primarysource of social connection.I feared that if I brushed them off,Id lose their favor.But the extra responsibilities came at a cost.I had to work extra hours to catch up with my ownwork,and I often made sacrifices to my personal life.It wasnt until my wife gave birth to our first child that I realized how thin I had stretchedmyself and how misguided my priorities were.While she lay in a hospital bed in the early stagesof labor,I sat nearby hunched(伏首前倾的)over my laptop finishing up a work report.Hours later,after hearing my daughters first cry and watching her tiny fingers grab tightly onto mine,it dawnedon me:I should have been fully present during my daughters birth.I was clearly spending toomuch time working if my job had intruded(侵入)into one of lifes most precious moments.From then on,I decided to spend more time with my family by paring down my work tasksand carefully considering each request for help.I still enjoyed collaborating with others,but Iprioritized mutually beneficial tasks or those my manager asked me to take on,rather than acceptingeverything that came my way.I noticed many benefits:no longer working overtime,more family time,and improved workperformance.I was also pleased to discover that“Sorry,Id love to help but I have a deadlinecoming up”is an acceptable response to a request for assistance.Its hard to say“no”to those you work with.But Ive learned that sometimes thats the bestcourse of action to avoid an excessive workload and lead a freer and happier life.24.Why did the author find it difficult to refuse the requests of his lab-mates?A.He was the senior member of the lab.B.He wanted to earn their respect.C.He was afraid to be left out by them.D.He had once received help from them.25.What did the author realize after his daughters birth?A.He was guilty for his absence when she was born.B.His wife had sacrificed a lot for the family.C.He should have balanced work and life better.D.He should work harder due to the increased responsibilities.26.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase“paring down”inparagraph 5?A.Putting aside.B.Cutting down.C.Getting familiar with.D.Keeping track of.27.What is the text mainly about?A.Enjoying family life.B.Giving priority to family.C.Giving and taking.D.Learning to say“no”.高三英语试卷 第 5 页（共 10 页）CHave you ever thrown a camel?Camels are large and heavy animals,so it would be hard to doso.But in the French-speaking Democratic Republic of the Congo,“to throw a camel”is a way ofsaying“to make a spelling mistake”.In the past,a phrase like that was not accepted by the Frenchgovernment as an official French term.But recently,the French Ministry of Culture worked on anew kind of dictionary that accepts the idea that many people in other countries and regions speakthe language.The language has changed over time and is different in places like Ivory Coast in WestAfrica or Quebec in Canada,compared to how it is in Paris.The new online French dictionary includes new French words from around the world.It wasreleased(发布)on March 18 just in time for International Francophonie Day on March 20.Afterits release,it is updated(更新)on a regular basis.It now contains about 600,000 terms.The FrenchCulture Minister says the dictionary is not just for Frances 67 million citizens,but for the 300million French speakers worldwide.Supporters say the new dictionary is more democratic(大 众 化 的)than earlier Frenchdictionaries that only showed the way highly educated French people spoke.Official dictionariesproduced by the French Academy in Paris were first published hundreds of years ago and areregularly updated.The online dictionary,however,has a new part you cannot find in a book.If youlive in Senegal,for example,you can search the dictionary,and it will give you the meaning of aword based on its use in that country.“The French no longer have a monopoly(独占)on French,”a French magazine that supportsthe dictionary wrote recently.“And that is good news”.28.What do we know about the phrase“to throw a camel”?A.It tells us camels are too large to be thrown.B.It can be found in an ancient French dictionary.C.It is a phrase still not accepted by the French government.D.It can be used when you see someone makes a spelling mistake.29.How is the online French dictionary different from other dictionaries?A.It needs updating regularly.B.It is mainly for non-French speakers.C.It takes in worldwide French usages.D.It includes few official French terms.30.What do the supporters think of the dictionary?A.It helps spread standard French.B.Itll attract more people to learn French.C.Itll benefit Frenchs development.D.It brings 300 million French speakers.31.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A.Culture.B.Opinion.C.Technology.D.Lifestyle.高三英语试卷 第 6 页（共 10 页）DJason,a straight-A student from the University of Pennsylvania,uses the term“pseudo-working”to describe how many of us study.The pseudo-worker looks and feels likesomeone who is working hardhe or she spends a long time in the 1ibrary and is not afraid to pushon late into the nightbut,because of a lack of focus and concentration,he or shes doesnt actuallyaccomplish much.This phenomenon can be seen on must college campuses.For example,at Dartmouth there wasa section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day,and the students I used to seethere late at night crowded in groups,drinking coffee,were definitely pseudo-working.Theroommate who flips through her chemistry notes on the couch while watching TV ispseudo-working.By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours,thesestudents are damaging their brains ability to think clearly and efficiently accomplish the task athand.In the end they get half the results with twice the effort.The bigger problem here is that most students dont even realize that theyre pseudo-working.To them pseudo-working is workits how theyve always done it,and its how all of their friendsdo it.It never crosses their mind that there might be a better way.Straight-A students,on the otherhand,know all about pseudo-working.They fear it.It not only wastes time,but its also mentallytiring.In fact,the most important skill in becoming a straight-A student is the ability to get work donequickly and with a minimum of wasted effort.Some cognitive science research concludes that aboutfifty minutes is the optimal learning period to maximize the material integrated per time unit.Sohow do these students achieve this goal?To understand their secret to success,consider thefollowing simple formula(公式):work accomplished=time spent intensity of focus.Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus.Therefore,to accomplish something bypseudo-working,you need to spend a lot of time.The straight-A approach on the other hand,increases intensity in order to use less time.32Which of the following phenomenon is pseudo-working?ATom is busy taking notes while attending a lecture.BMike is sitting at a study lounge in preparation for a final exam quietly.CJack spends a long time in the library on his essay while listening to music.DAlice and Sara are sitting on the couch reading their favorite books.33Compared with straight-A students,the major problem of most students is that.Athey want to spend more time on studyBthey are eager to follow their friends wayCthey have got used to their study approachD they are unaware of their pseudo-working34What does the underlined word“optimal”mean in paragraph 5?APossibleBBestCLeastDAccurate35What does the author want to stress by mentioning the formula?AThe length of time on study counts.BConcentration plays a key role in study.CGetting work done quickly means everything.DEffective study approach is very important.高三英语试卷 第 7 页（共 10 页）第二节第二节(共共 5 小题小题;每小题每小题 2.5

skills a person can have.36._ Humans are social animals.There are very few activities that humans take part in that dont involve others.37._ It allows you to perceive others motives,treat them the way they want to be treated,understand how others perceive you,and so on.It lets you better understand non-verbal components of communication.38._ People who are not empathetic have a hard time reading between the linesof conversations.They cannot understand that what the other person means to communicate isdifferent from what they actually say.39._When you unconsciously perceive what the other party wants and needs and can understandexactly why they want it,reaching a“win-win”solution gets easier.You dont have to blindlysearch for a way out.It broadens your horizons.Seeing the world from other peoples perspect
