That's likely true. _____1_____ For example, as one 2013 study showed, when people found their wandering thoughts more interesting, their moods actually improved while mind-wandering. Similarly, other studies have found that thinking about people you love or thinking more about your potential future than about what happened in the past produces positive results.How you use mind-wandering may also be important. ___2___ It has been mostly unexplored in previous research, but likely has distinct effects. As one 2017 study found, people who use daydreaming for self-reflection typically have more pleasant thoughts than people who simply think about unpleasant experiences.There is even some evidence that mind-wandering may be more of an antidote (缓解方法) to depression than a cause. People who are depressed may simply replay events from their past to better understand what happened to cause their dark mood and avoid future problems. Also, when researchers studied whether a negative mood preceded or allowed a mind-wandering episode, they found poor moods led to more mind-wandering but not vice versa. _____3_____Now, findings from a 2021 study suggest that mind-wandering that is more freely moving can actually improve your mood. In this study, participants were prompted randomly via cell phone over three days to report how they were feeling and how much their thoughts were freely moving and related to what they were doing. After analyzing the data, the researchers found that when people's thoughts were of-task, they generally felt more negative—similar to what earlier findings showed. _____4_____“Our findings suggest there might be positive aspects of mind-wandering," the researchers conclude.____5____ If I simply put myself in a space that lets my mind move freely, I don’t get depressed. On the contrary, I'm happier because of it.A. In some cases, people intentionally mind-wander.B. Mind-wandering is part of our human inheritance.C. Again, I find that science supports my own experience.D. There may be a right and a wrong way to mind-wander.E. But if their thoughts were free-moving, it had the opposite effect.F. In fact, the content of wandering thoughts makes a big difference.G. It suggests that mind-wandering may be helping people feel better.三、完形填空Growing up, the relationship between my father and I is that I asked him questions and he told me the answers.

高三英语限时训练一总分65分第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共7个小题：每小题2.5分，满分17.5分）AWhat do the random, scribbled(潦草的)drawings crowding the margins(页边空白)of most high school students’ papers mean? When a student is caught doodling(乱画)in class, he will probably be criticized for daydreaming. But doodling while listening can help with remembering details, rather than implying that the mind is wandering, according to a study published in the scientific journal Applied Cognitive Psychology.In an experiment conducted b y the Medical Research Council’s Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge,40 subjects were asked to listen to a two-minute tape giving several names of people and places. Half of the participants were asked to shade in shapes on a piece of paper at the same time, without paying attention to neatness, while the rest were given no such instructions. After the tape had finished, all participants in the study were asked to recall the names of people and places. The doodlers recalled on average 7.5 names of people and places, compared to only 5.8 by the non-doodlers.“If someone is doing a boring task, like listening to a dull telephone conversation, they may start to daydream.” said study researcher, Professor Jackie Andrade, of the School of Psychology, U niversity of Plymouth. “Daydreaming distracts them from the task, resulting in poorer performance. A simple task, like doodling, may be enough tostop daydreaming without affecting performance on the main task.”“In psychology, tests of memory or attention will often use a second task to selectively block a particular mental process. If that process is important for the main task, then performance will be weakened. But my research suggests that in everyday life doodling may be something we do because it helps to keep us on track with a boring task, rather than being an unnecessary distraction(分心)that we should try to resist doing.” said Andrade.Dan Ware, a social study teacher, used to consider doodling a distraction from learning, but after teaching kids with all personality types he learned scribbling away during lectures helps certain students remember more information. “In my first few years of teaching, I thought, ‘Well, this kid isn’t paying attention. He’s daydreaming.’ But I had some really powerful experiences with students and came to understand in many cases that was their way of focusing, and those students were probably paying more attention than other students.” Ware said.1. What do we know about the participants involved in the experiment?A. Some were asked to note down the information neatly.B. Some were asked to memorize the names they would hear.C. Some were instructed to listen to the tape with full attention.D. Some were instructed to make random drawings on paper.2. Which of the following will both Jackie Andrade and Dan Ware agree with?A. Doodling helps some people focus.B. Doodling makes a dull task interesting.C. Students who doodle perform poorly.D. Students who doodle lack concentration.3. What is the best title of the text?A. Daydreaming Can Sharpen Study SkillsB. Doodling Can Help Memory RecallC. A Wandering Mind Improves ProductivityD. Distractions Harm Academic PerformanceBShyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned about their own appearance and actions too much. Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A person’s self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need faith that they are doing ＂the right thing＂. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior(自卑). They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: ＂You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I kn ow it’s not true.＂It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack ofself-respect. It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.4. The first paragraph is mainly about ____________. .A. the cause of shynessB. the effect of shyness on peopleC. the feelings of shy peopleD. the questions in the minds of shy people5. According to the writer, self-awareness is ____________.A. harmful to peopleB. a weak point of peopleC. the cause of unhappinessD. a good characteristic6. What is the shy people’s reaction to praise?A. They are pleased by it. B They feel it is not true.C. They are very sensitive to it.D. They feel they are worthy of it.7. We can learn from the passage that shyness ____________.A. blocks our chances for a successful lifeB. helps us to live up to our full developmentC. enables us to understand ourselves betterD. has nothing to do with lack of self-respect第二节七选五（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入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

In reality it has more to do with the way an individual talks to himself. Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person himself.____1____Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start to form a positive view on an issue. People who regularly practise positive thinking tend to solve problems more effectively. They areless exposed to stress caused by external factors. They tend to believe in themselves and in what they do.____2____People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans, lower rates of depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one’s ability to deal with problems and hardships.____3____For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer against depression and anxiety. Resilient people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress.____4____ In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the quality of one’s life. It doesn’t have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem.____5____ Thinking in a positive, self-encouraging way brings about many benefits to one’s physical and mental health.A. It doesn’t cause any severe emotional discomfort, either.B. Negative self-talk damages self-confidence and decreases self-respect.C. It helps one to remain clear-headed and confident in difficult situations.D. Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind.E. As thinking changes, an individual’s behaviour and habits change as well.F. They often offer a real alternative to the common and regular way of thinking.G. They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem, even if small.三. 完形填空Normal people can hardly imagine what kind of pain orphans feel while growing up – being abandoned, disliked, and laughed at.

Thick, dark, gray clouds had made sure that there was no starlight or moonlight to greet me as I walked out on my porch. Still, I kept the porch light off because I didn’t want to be surrounded by bugs and moths(飞蛾) on this sticky summer evening. I stood there for a while letting my eyes adjust to the lack of light. My dog stood beside me waiting patiently for me to start her walk. It was then, though, that I saw them. First one blink of light at the far end of the meadow was followed by another and then another. I smiled. I recognised them at once as my firefly friends, who always showed up at this time of year.I got so much joy watching them first as a child and then as an adult. They never became dull or boring and they always filled me with delight. When I was little I used to sit in the grass and watch them slowly fly around blinking on and off. I never caught and put one in a jar as some kids did because I was afraid I might kill it and I never wanted to hurt these messengers(信使) of light. Their time on earth was so brief as it was. I tried to enjoy them each time they were here. It always saddened me when they disappeared in the fall and it always made my heart sing when they reappeared the next summer.I think I enjoy these little fireflies so much because I can see that we are like them in a lot of ways. Our time here on earth is brief. Often our light and love are more like blinks rather than a steady shine. Let’s share our light and love while we are here then.4.Why did the author turn off his porch light?A.To avoid some insects.B.To adapt to surroundings.C.To search for his dog.D.To greet special friends.5.What can we know about fireflies?A.They always frightened the author.B.Most kids caught and killed them.C.The author watched them every night.D.They usually brightened the author.6.What does the author mainly convey through the story?A.Value our short life in the world.B.Protect fireflies as well as possible.C.Devote ourselves as much as possible.D.Share as many inspiring stories as possible.7.What can be the best title for the text?A.A Special Summer NightB.Messengers of LightC.Human’s Best FriendsD.Fireflies — Shinning ForeverC(2021·河北唐山二模)A 293-million-mile journey of the NASA Perseverance rover(探测器) to Mars ended successfully on February 18, 2021, with a picture-perfect landing inside the Jezero Crater. The car-sized, six-wheeled rover, nicknamed Percy is the US space agency’s biggest and most advanced explorer to date. Its primary mission is to search for signs of ancient microbial(微生物的) life on Mars.Landing on Mars is extremely tricky. The Red Planet’s gravitational pull causes the approaching spacecraft to go faster to high speeds, while its thin atmosphere—just 1 percent of the Earth’s—does little to help slow it down as it approaches the surface.The scientists had to reduce Percy’s 12,000 mph speed to a safe landing speed of less than five mph—in just six and a half minutes. The target entry angle also had to be precise 12 degrees—any steeper, and the spacecraft would burn up; any flatter, and it would get lost in space. It is no wonder that the final approach is often referred to as the “seven minutes of terror”.Upon attaining a manageable speed, Percy briefly flew over the Martian surface to seek out the perfect landing spot. Its complex map-reading system rapidly scanned the area and matched it with maps in its database to find the best location.The NASA scientists spent the next two months testing Percy’s scientific instruments. Once ready, the rover would begin to carry out its mission.“Perseverance is the smartest robot ever made but confirming that microbial life once existed carries an unusually large burden of proof,” said Lori Glaze, director of NASA’s Planetary ScienceDivision.“While we’ll learn a lot with the great instruments we have aboard the rover, it may very well require the far more well-equipped laboratories and delicate instruments back here on Earth to tell us whether our samples carry evidence that Mars once harboured life.”8.What is the extraordinary challenge for the rover to land on Mars?A.The speed reduction.B.The atmosphere analysis.C.The location search.D.The time management.9.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Ways to find the precise entry angle.B.Consequences of a wrong entry degree.C.Factors to survive “the seven minutes”.D.Reasons for the necessity of speed reducing.10.What does “it” refer to in paragraph 4?A.The spot.B.The area.C.The system.D.The surface.11.What can be inferred from Lori Glaze’s words?A.Instruments aboard the rover are not quite reliable.B.Perseverance is able to collect enough evidence needed.C.Man still has a long way to go to prove life was on Mars.D.Samples of Mars will be returned soon to our labs on Earth.DI told my friend Graham that I often cycled two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there was a big hill on the route. He replied,“You mean fortunately.” He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to complain as I approached it but now I tell myself the following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationary exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree. Her activism and writing proved inspirational. She wrote,“The character cannot be developed with ease. Only through experiences of suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity. From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents and difficulties. Some are of our own making but many confront us through no fault of our own. While we cannot choose adversity, we can choose our attitude towards it.Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident. He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aviators in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans. He was an inspiration to others during the war. He said,“Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense. Make up your mind, andyou’ll never use crutches or a stick, and then have a go at everything. Go to school, and join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”The biographies of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced. The common thread is that they did not become depressed. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won. Nevertheless, there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.12.Which of the following is true according to the author of the passage?A.Those who want to achieve success can’t expect to live an easy life.B.Climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to take exercise.C.Going to a gym is greatly beneficial to people’s health.D.People’s attitude towards hardships is the only factor of their success.13.By quoting what Douglas Bader said, the author intends to tell us “” .A.Failure is the mother of successB.A bad workman quarrels with his toolsC.Nothing is difficult to the man who will tryD.If you risk nothing, you will have nothing14.Following this passage, the author will further talk about .A.how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the challenge he facedB.why it is important to keep optimistic in the face of troubleC.what steps to take to change your attitude towards the difficulties you faceD.what great people have in common15.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A.Different attitudes towards misfortuneB.Face difficulties with a smileC.Nothing is impossibleD.Life is full of adversityⅡ.七选五(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)(2021·安徽安庆高三二模)How to Make a Classroom Management PlanStudents need to feel comfortable and safe in order to learn effectively. As an educator, you need to manage your classroom in such a way that you create this sort of environment. A classroom management plan is a strategy you create and carry out. 16 It can help you deal with negative behaviours as well.17 Many classroom management plans begin with the teacher’s philosophy of motivation. Basically, it lays out what you believe about education and how students should learn. You can talk about the environment you want to create and how you plan to create that environment, both physically and emotionally.Set the tone on the first day of class. Start building relationships with your students by being friendly and getting to know each other. 18 So they know in advance how you expect them to behave.19 Get your students’ parents on board by laying out your basic rules. You can also tell them about the systems of rewards and consequences. That way, parents know what to expect throughout the year.Set the example.20 For instance, show you are respectful of each student’s ideas. It will let them know they can trust you.Be consistent. Probably the most important part of any classroom management plan is being consistent with how you carry it out. That means enforcing(执行) rules even when you don’t want to, as kids will come to understand that you mean what you say in the classroom.A.Determine your philosophy.B.Understand each child’s motivation.C.Create a formal letter for consequences.D.Write a letter about the plan to send home.E.Share the rules, rewards, and consequences.F.It is important that you follow the classroom rules, too.G.It can help you get and maintain control of the classroom.50分阅读限时满分练(三)【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。

They are a natural water holding system.There are many types of wetlands. Among them, bogs, marshes and swamps are the three n types. The different types of wetlands have different kinds of plants. Only mosses (苔藓) and a few other kinds of plants can grow in bogs. Grassy plants like cattails(香蒲) and reeds (芦苇) are the most common plants in a marsh. A swamp is a forest whose ground is underwater all or most of the time. Unlike bogs or marshes, a swamp is full of trees and bushes. It's not a good idea to go exploring a swamp without a guide. There are hidden pools of water, thick mud, and sometimes big crocodiles looking for their next meal.Hungry crocodiles aren't the only animals that make the wetlands their home. Otters, turtles, frogs, snakes and many other animals do too. The water is home to many kinds of fish and crabs. Birds, including ducks, geese and cranes, use wetlands seasonally during their long migrations.Wetlands are important because they provide habitats for plants and animals. A wetland system can also protect shorelines, make polluted waters clean, prevent floods, and restore underground water supplies.According to WWF, more than half of the world's wetlands have disappeared since the beginning of the 20th century. If this continues, countless plant and animal species will surely die- out. Without wetlands, cities have to spend more money treating water. Don't feel helpless. Try to do your part to protect them right now. Here are some ideas.26. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Wetlands are a man-made water holding system.B. There are three types of wetlands in the world.C. People cannot meet with big crocodiles in wetlands.D. Wetlands can protect shorelines and prevent floods.27. What is the writer probably going to talk about after Paragraph 5?A.What are the different types of wetlands?B. What will happen if wetlands disappear?C. What actions can people take to protect wetlands?D. What other kinds of plants and animals live in wetlands?(B)Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction(破坏) of our environment. Brown clouds, polluted water, endangered wild animals... these problems seem so huge.So my family do what we can. We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. We walk where we don't have to drive ...But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world?I recently learned something about flamingos(火烈鸟) which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more. Every year, when the time comes for migration, a few of them first take off from the lake. But none of the others seem to notice, so the small group returns. However, the next day they try again. This time a few more fly along with them, but most of them still pay no attention, so they return again. They try for several times. Every time a few more birds join in but, since the thousands of others still take no notice, the great migration plan is once more stopped.Then one day something changes. The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before, then more. Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins. What a spectacular(壮观的) sight it must be -thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once!A few can make a difference. Even if you're the one to take the first step, and continue trying, others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.28. Why does the small group of flamingos return to the lake?A. Because they are very tired.B. Because they can't find food in other places.C. Because they don't know where to go.D. Because the others don't fly along with them.29. What’s the writer's purpose of writing this article?A. To show that the writer loves to see the migration of flamingos.B. To introduce how flamingos migrate to readers.C. To tell readers to continue trying and it can make a difference.D. To show that we face lots of serious problems today.30. Where would you most probably read this passage?A. A guidebook.B. A movie poster.C. A personal blog (博客).D. A science magazine.四、词汇(每小题2分，共30分)(A)根据汉语提示、音标或首字母提示写单词，使句意完整31.

限时练十六One night，when I was eight，my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. "Sweetie，my company wants to 16 me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling you that you've done 17 and allowing you to skip a grade（跳级），but you'll have to 18 your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher?" She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was puzzled. The question kept me 19 for the rest of the night. I had said "yes" but for the first time，I realized the 20 decisions adults had to make.For almost four years，my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening I’d21 wait for the phone to ring and then tell her every detail of my day. A phone call，however，could never replace her 22 and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times．During my fourth-grade Christmas break，we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large 23 apartment，I became 24 how lonely my mother must have been in Brazil herself. It was then 25 I started to appreciate the tough choices she had to make on 26 family and work. 27 difficult decisions，she used to tell me，you wouldn't know whether you made the right choice，but you could always make the best out of the situation，with passion and a 28 attitude.Back home，I 29 myself that what my mother could do，I could，too.

I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behavior could only make the job harder and their behavior more extreme. I found something that worked, though.There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property.I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy’s teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him.I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:“So what happened today?”It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.36. The boy made trouble for his teacher because he ______.A. was accused of destroying propertyB. was told not to yell at other childrenC. was made to do things against his willD. was blamed for creating an air of tension37. Why didn’t the author do anything about the boy’s bad behavior at first?A. She didn’t want to make it worse.B. She didn’t mind the huge mess at all.C. She was tired of shouting and threats.D.

Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end?A. He was sorry about his reputation.B. He was regretful about his behavior.C. He was fe arful of the author’s warning.D.

The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn't in any hurry，either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness：motorosis．It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune（免疫的），for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time，we regarded 25 miles as a good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill.It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship.And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced—and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Statue of Liberty.Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But awell-known British physician，Sir Adolphe Abrahams，pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise—the most familiar and natural of all.It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees,flowers，insects，birds and animals，the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.The car is a convenient means of transport，but we have made it our way of life．Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more；to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.40．What is the national sickness?A．Walking too much. B．Traveling too much.C．Driving cars too much. D．Climbing stairs too much.41．What was life like when the author was young?A．People usually went around on foot. B．People often walked 25 miles a day.C．People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.D．People considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.42．The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that＿＿＿.A．middle-aged people like getting back to nature B．walking in nature helps enrich one's mind C．people need regular exercise to keep fit D．going on foot prevents heart disease43．What is compared to “a steel river” in Paragraph 6?A．A queue of cars. B．A ray of traffic light. C．A flash of lightning. D．A stream of people．44．What is the author's intention of writing this passage?A．To tell people to reflect more on life. B．To recommend people to give up driving.C．To advise people to do outdoor activities. D．To encourage people to return to walking.语法填空：Do you feel ___ difficult to be happy all the time?
