限时规范练31(选修7Unit1)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与自我、积极人生的素养能力意识一、阅读理解AA baby may fall back asleep at 2 am to a gentle song,but new music designed to help adults relax sounds rather different from Rock-a-bye Baby.Boston-based start-up Sync Project uses biometrics (生物统计学) to play music that fits your mood.Its Unwind app measures your heart beat via your smartphone and uses these readings to play different songs by UK band Marconi Union.After listening,you take a brief survey on how relaxed you feel.“Music can be used for everyday wellness as well as for clinical applications,” says Sync Project co-founder Ketki Karanam.The state of sleep and relaxation was an obvious place to start.“We decided to start by focusing on relaxation as we felt that was one area where people were using music to calm themselves down or relax,” she says.As well as the Unwind app,the company plans to collect biometric data from attendees at an overnight performance of composer Max Richter’s 8-hour album Sleep,designed to help people nod off,in London next month.Concertgoers will be invited to wear activity-tracking OURA rings,which also measure heart rate and body temperature.In addition,the volunteers will wear the rings while going to sleep at home,with and without the help of Richter’s music.By analyzing these readings,the Sync Project team finally aims to develop its own artificial intelligence-based tools that will use music to improve general well-being and even treat clinical conditions.“Music has certain obvious ways it can excite or relax us,but there are limits and it certainly can’t replace real treatments,” says David Eagleman at Stanford University in California,who was an adviser to Richter on the Sleep album.Music can help with insomnia (失眠症) or pain relief,says Kevin Morgan,director of the Clinical Sleep Research Unit at Loughborough University,UK.“That said,if the presenting insomnia is so ‘mild’it can be effectively managed with Spotify (which gives you access to millions of songs),it’s unlikely to have been a major clinical problem in the first place,” he says.1.What can users benefit from the Unwind app?A.Have a health check.B.Prevent heart attack.C.Fall asleep quickly.D.Become calm.2.What does the Sync Project team want to find by analyzing the biometric data?A.How babies fall back to sleep quickly.B.How music might affect sleep and relaxation.C.How body temperature changes during the night.D.How music tools help people appreciate music.3.Which of the following does Kevin Morgan probably agree with?A.Music only works on mild insomnia.B.Insomnia isn’t a clinical condition at all.C.Music can’t be used for clinical applications.d insomnia cured by music doesn’t require medical help.BScott and Daniel Harry are enjoying everyday tasks like shopping and washing for the first time following their move to an accommodation support house in Kurwongbah,north of Brisbane last year.Disability Services Queensland’s Strengthening Non-Government Organisations project provided an accommodation support model that would enable residents like Daniel and Scott to live more independently.The house is just one of many accommodation support services funded through the project.The five-bedroom house provides 24-hour care for up to four individuals with complex needs,including medical support.Care and staffing levels are varied and flexible,depending on each resident’s requirements.Scott and Daniel,who have a severe form of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy,require 24-hour support in all activities of daily living.Before they moved to the house,they lived with their family.Scott says living at home was difficult as it placed a physical and emotional strain (负担) on their parents who had to wake them several times each night to reposition them or place them on breathing machines.“We were heavy-hearted,” says Scott,who is planning to write a book about his life experiences.“But our parents now have a lot more time for themselves.We now manage ourselves on a day-to-day basis.”Daniel is an enthusiastic gardener,taking care of his own vegetable garden.The men share the house with one other young man,and they go to rugby league games,meeting up with friends.Leeding Care Australia provides the care service at Kurwongbah.Manager Lee Garniss says setting up the facilities has not been without its challenges.“It is an unconventional model of care,” Lee says.“The home is Scott and Daniel’s home,however,it is also a workplace for their support staff.Balancing these two requirements has been a challenge for all.”“We have experienced a bit of a learning phase over the last twelve months.However,by working as a team we try our best to meet the needs of both residents and staff and I think we have achieved the right balance.”4.What do we know about the house Scott and Daniel live in now?A.It was built by their parents.B.It can accommodate four residents.C.It belongs to a governmental project.D.It’s located in the center of Brisbane.5.Why did Scott and Daniel’s parents wake up frequently at night?A.To help them do exercise.B.They were making a lot of noise.C.To check on their

facilities?ck of fund.B.No workplace.C.Inexperienced staff members.D.Satisfying both staff and residents’ needs.二、七选五Traveling independently for the first time can be stressful if you don’t plan your trip carefully.In Cuba,my friends and I really learned the value of planning ahead and being responsible tourists.So,before you set off,take a look at my list of useful tips:Plan who to go with.Think about your travel buddies (朋友) carefully.Traveling with just one person has its advantages and disadvantages,but traveling in a group isn’t easy either.In a group,everyone wants something different.Be patient and understanding,and try to find a compromise.1And remember:if you take everyone’s views into account before you go,you won’t have so many arguments!2Before you go,find out about the country’s culture and look up some basic words and useful phrases in the local language.3If you say just a few words in their language,the local people will really appreciate it,and everyone will feel more comfortable.Be responsible.It’s really important to be a responsible tourist and to try to support the local economy.4We stayed in private homes in different parts of Cuba.Our hosts were really kind-hearted and their generosity was amazing.If you stay with a family,you’ll find out much more about your hosts’ culture and way of life.5Seeing the sights and learning about the culture with local Cubans was truly exciting.If we had stayed in a hotel,we wouldn’t have had these experiences.A.Do your homework.B.Think about the environment.C.Don’t be embarrassed by your accent.D.I decided to spend the summer in Cuba with some friends.E.Be adaptable,so that you can deal with unexpected changes.F.For example,why not stay with a local family instead of in a big hotel?G.They will probably take you
