andcarefully considered the idea of welcoming a feline(猫科的)friend into my life.Adopting an animal during the height of the pandemic was far from easy.When my partner and I foundCinnamon,her adoption information made her out as the perfect kitten.We filled out the paperwork and had a few weeksto prepare for her arrival.When she came home,it became increasingly obvious that Cinnamon didnt understand“no”,“stop it”or“dont dothat”.She was the worst cat Ive ever owned.I was beginning to doubt my doctors advice.We decided to start taking herfor walks.I could hardly leave the house before,but my heart couldnt say no to Cinnamon.Cinnamon showed me whatbravery looked like if there was a dog at a park,she would run toward it.She jumped without knowing where shewould land.She loved adventure.I found myself mirroring her behavior after a while,jumping out of bed without asecond thought.I began to find the motivation to get out ofbed in the morning.Cinnamon unfortunately passed away after a medical accident,leaving a cat-sized hole in my heart the day she leftus at only six months old.Im no stranger to sadness or grief,but losing my pet so suddenly was the most confusingemotional experience Ive ever had.She was supposed to help me through more of my life than the three short months wehad her.She no longer wakes me up at 5 a.m.begging for breakfast,but she is still the reason I get up every morning.Our time is often cut unpredictably,unmistakably short.It would be a shame to live life being anything lessthan brave and adventurous.A9 协作体高二英语试题卷第 3 页 共9

convey?A.Friendship with pets is short.B.The short life is predictable.C.The loss of a pet is painful.D.The courage to take risks is beneficial.CYou might see loneliness as someone(usually an old person)sits alone,staring into the distance or out ofawindow.Such images are deceptive.Researchers haveactually found that those who report experiencing lonelinessthe most are young people,and such images of solitude(孤独)dont match the experience of loneliness during youth.Those yearsare typically spent surrounded by other people,at school or at work.Loneliness during youth can be defined as a negative feeling about a difference between the relationshipswe have and those we want.This means we might feel lonely in the company of others if we dont feel they understandus or share common interests with us.Although loneliness is often a difficult experience,it can help us to reconnectand to rethink our relationships so that we can build(or seek out)the ones that mean the most to us.There are certain features of youth that tend to give rise to loneliness.In youth,our friendships are increasinglyimportant in providing us with emotional support.Research shows that young people have higher expectations oftheir friendships than adults do;they show a preference for larger friend groups,more companionship and higherfrequency of contact with friends.When we consider that loneliness serves the function of keeping us safe within oursocial world,it makes sense that the feeling like we do not“fit in,as so many young people feel,gives rise toloneliness.Another reason is our developing sense of self-discovering who we are.That often means changes to valuesor beliefs.It can be challenging when your friends are going through the same process,but might not follow the samepath as you.Young people often report feeling lonely at school,while home is a comfortable space.But when there aredifficulties at home such as arguments or tension with family members and the departure of supportive familymembers these can make the feeling of loneliness worse.If you find yourself feeling lonely and it seems like nothing is helping,do not give up hope.It is likely that youhave not yet found the strategy that works for you.Here are some practical steps you can try,starting with what you can do on your own and moving on to ways to connect with others.28.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“deceptive”in paragraph 1?A.irrelevantB.disgracefulC.misleadingD.unfortunate29.What does loneliness of young people usually refer to?A.Not having a preference for dealing with tough things alone.B.Not having friends or family for company when in trouble.C.Not having interest in othersschool life within the social world.D.Not having positive attitude to the present relationships with others.A9 协作体高二英语试题卷第 4 页 共 9页30.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason of young peoples loneliness?A.Discovery of self-identity.B.Desire for more friends.C.Difficulties at home.D.Unfamiliar environments.31.What will the text probably talk about next?A.Suggestions on how to beat loneliness.B.More reasons that cause the feeling of loneliness.C.Strategies to deal with the arguments or tension in family.D.Ways to face the departure of supportive family members.DAbout one-third of adults globally have high blood pressure,which increases the risk of having a heart attack orstroke(中风).Physical activity is known to lower blood pressure.However,many people havetrouble keeping to exerciseplans.Yoga tends to be more sustainable(可持续的)than other forms of exercise because it is gentle,can be done withothers and helps to relax the mind.Several experiments have found that yoga lowers bloodpressure.However,theseexperiments have typically involved several sessions a week,which may not be achievable for many people.To find out if yoga helps to reduce blood pressure in the real world,some researchers conducted a new study andanalysed the electronic health records of 1,355 people aged 18 to 79 who practised yoga at least once a week.Theycompared each of these people with at least three other individuals.They had similar characteristics in terms of thingslike age,gender,and body mass index(BMI),but had no mention of practising yoga in their records.On average,thepeople who practised yoga had systolic blood pressure(收 缩压)that was 2.8 mmHg lower and diastolic blood pressure(舒张压)that was 1.5 mmHg lower than those who didnt.This blood pressure reduction probably wouldnt make a huge difference to most people in the study,since theytended to be young and healthy.They already had normal blood pressure.But at a population level,if average bloodpressure declined by this much,it would prevent a significant number of heart attacksandstrokes.Forexample,a2018studyfoundthatapopulation-wideaveragesystolic blood pressure reduction of 2 mmHg among middle-agedadults in the US would prevent more than 12,000 heart attacks and 7,000 strokes each year.Based on the new study,we cant say for sure that yoga lowers blood pressure,because there may beotherexplanations for the findings.People who do yoga may have lower blood pressure because they tend to have better diets,not because of the yoga itself.And yoga shouldnt be seen as the replacement for blood pressure lowering medicines.Nevertheless,yoga is likely to assist in lowering blood pressure if it encourages sedentary(久坐的)people toexercise.“The greatest benefit is getting the exercise-shy to do something rather than increasing exercise in someonewho does it regularly,”an expert says.32.Which advantage does yoga have over other kinds of exercise?A.It is easier for beginners to learn.B.It is more effective in keeping fit.C.People are more likely to stick to it.D.People can find partners more easily.33.Which of the following can be inferred from the new study?A.The study took the relevant factors in reality into consideration.B.All these participants were of the same age and gender.C.The study analysed different kinds of exercise.D.The researchers studied the participantsdaily routine.A9 协作体高二英语试题卷第 5 页

yoga once a week is meaningful.35.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Other reasons have been found to explain the blood pressure reduction for certain.B.Encouraging inactive people to do yoga possibly contributes to lowering blood pressure.C.Having better diets is more important than practising yoga regularly for sedentary people.D.The benefits ofpractising yoga are equal to taking blood pressure lowering medicines.第二节：(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The idea that red means stop and green means go affects more thanjust traffic light colors.We have been taughtfrom a young age that red means danger,while green means safety.36For something we have to look atevery day,why couldnt they have been prettier colors?Youre about to find out.Before there were traffic lights for cars,there were traffic signals for trains.At first,railroadcompanies used red to mean stop,white to mean go and green to mean caution.But train conductors ran into aproblem with the color white meaning go bright white could easily be mistaken for stars at night.37It has been that way ever since.38That means that as it travels through the air,it gets diffused(分散)less than other colors,so it can beseen from a greater distance.For example,think about how the light turns red as the sun sets.Even though thehuman eye is most sensitive to a yellowish-green highlighter color,it can see red from further away.But this couldhappen by chance.Its not clear whether that was chosen based on wavelength,contrast against green nature or naturalconnection ofred with things like blood.39Yellow has a shorter wavelength than red but a longer wavelength than green.This
