2024北京高三二模英语汇编：七选五
2024北京高三二模英语汇编七选五一、阅读理解（2024北京顺义高三二模）When fighting sugar dependence, avoiding added sugar in the diet is key, which sounds simple — right? It certainly does, but things become a bit more complicated once we introduce alternative sweeteners into the mix.1 Many people think that if they replace the sugar in their diet with alternative sweeteners, they’ll be good to go, but this isn’t necessarily the case.Alternative sweeteners are everywhere. 2 For example, Stevia is a popular sugar substitute (代替者) because it is up to 200 times sweeter than sugar and provides fewer calories. Mon k fruit is another example that is free from calories, sweeter than table sugar, and gained from the juice of monk fruit. 3 Sugar alcohols provide fewer calories than regular sugar because they are not fully absorbed by the body.Now that we know some of the common types of alternative sweeteners, let’s take a deeper dive into the problem with them. Research in animals has shown that removing calories from foods that taste sweet can interrupt the ability to control energy intake. 4 If we consume high amounts of alternative sweeteners, it may heighten our preference for sweetness, resulting in the overuse of sugar-sweetened foods and drinks.The other interesting thing about alternative sweeteners is that our brains don’t recognize them as “fake (假的)” sugar. 5 Whenever a food tastes sweet, a message is sent to the brain that communicates we are tasting a sweet food — which can further feed into the sugar dependence cycle.So what do I recommend? In order to fully put a definite end to sugar dependence, reducing your intake of alternative sweeteners should be the goal.A．The taste profile of alternative sweeteners varies.B．We can’t forget about the ever-so-popular sugar alcohols.C．There are countless alternative sweeteners on the market.D．Our brain senses something sweet and thinks it is real sugar.E．They may help reduce the calorie content of good-tasting foods and drinks.F．Artificial sweeteners may also cause one’s body to prefer sweeter-tasting foods.G．Alternative sweeteners are referred to as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie” sweeteners.（2024北京丰台高三二模）At the end of the day, most of us find ourselves on the couch, eyes glued to the television or to our smartphones, doing everything we can to conserve energy. 6 But are we hardwired (本能的) for it?According to Michael Inzlicht, a social psychologist at the University of Toronto, we’re lazy and also, we’re not.All humans, given equal options, will take the easy way out. Does it mean we’re lazy? Maybe. 7 We always minimize our effort and, at the same time, maximize the amount of reward we get for that effort. A study published in the journal Neuropsychologia found that our brains may be hardwired for laziness. Even though we know the benefits of exercise, we stay glued to the couch.8 We can’t know for sure whether there is an evolutionary (进化的) purpose to it. But that wouldmake sense. After all, before we were able to go to the grocery store, calories were much more directly linked to effort. Every calorie we burned meant more hunting, fishing, or gathering.But there are the times when humans are the opposite of lazy and do very difficult things for no apparent reason. Some rewards only come from extensive effort. 9 Running this far might even cause more harm than good in terms of running injuries like stress fractures, back pain and so on. But we do it anyway because putting in the effort makes us feel good, says Inzlicht. 10So, in that sense, effort is worth the effort. While humans are economically aware of effort most of the time, “in some cases, the effort itself is rewarding,” says Inzlicht.A．Think about things like running a marathon.B．It’s not completely clear why humans behave this way.C．It seems that we humans are gifted in the way of laziness.D．We similarly love to space out, our brain tired of focusing.E．But it certainly means that we’re economic with our effort.F．Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems.G．Likewise, we might get a sense of pleasure or mastery from doing a crossword puzzle.（2024北京昌平高三二模）Everyone carries a shield（屏障）. Our shields protect what we don’t want others to see, from our embarrassing secrets to our unpredictable feelings. 11 But the problem is that shields can become heavy burdens — easy to put on yet difficult to remove — with terrible effects.Since shields encourage us to hide negative parts of ourselves, we can start to believe that we aren’t worth showing. We might fear how our friends will judge our struggles or how our families will view our ambitions.12However, we have to remember that we aren’t perfect, nor should we expect to be. We need to find and cure the wounds underneath our shields, but that means we have to let down our guard. We may even have problems we haven’t admitted to ourselves. 13 Even if it seems insignificant, every problem should be acknowledged before it grows. Before being cured, we must know that we need to be cured, and be okay with admitting that.Knowing this takes bravery and patience, so it’ll be hard. 14 Yet asking for help means admitting our problems to somebody else — it means letting them see what’s behind our shields. To make it easier, we can reveal ourselves to somebody close to us who we trust will understand us and provide personal support. Or, if we fear judgement, we can open up to someone distant but knowledgeable, such as a counsellor or a help line. No matter what, we can find help when we begin searching.15 We can be more forgiving of faults so we can become comfortable with ours and encourage others to follow. Most importantly, we can let people know that we are willing to listen and help and make it easier to let down our shields.A. This is not a bad thing.B. We need to be understood.C. We shouldn’t expect to do any of it without help.D. In short, we have the power to change this phenomenon.E. Hence we decide to hide ourselves underneath our masks.F. If you can’t trust your partner, it won’t be easy to let them in.G. Maybe we’re hiding something from a friend or scared to admit an error.（2024北京朝阳高三二模）Studies about sleep and employee behavior typically focus on various activities that occur within the body during sleep, and their impact on daytime cognition. New research adopts a different method. 16The researchers conducted three studies involving thousands of dreams recalled by employees. The first study asked participants upon awakening to rate the degree of awe (敬畏) and wonder brought by their dreams and to write down their biggest work problem. 17 Another one they answered was whether they envisioned anything good arising from the difficult work situation—a measure of resilience, which meant the ability to become strong and happy again after toughness. Those who found positive meaning in dreams reported higher levels of awe. 18 In the second study, participants who recalled a dream likewise reported its positive or negative meaning, and then wrote descriptions of the dream and what they took to be its causes and meaning. After work they answered questions about their resilien ce and progress on the day’s tasks. 19 The third study tracked similar measures among employees who participated daily for two weeks, and it looked at how naturally curious each person was. It found similar results about awe and showed that it raised resilience and productivity far more in the naturally curious.20 Awe can help people deal more effectively with challenges and progress toward goals. “Our research reveals how awe can be brought about at a time that has a critical impact on daily wor k outcomes,” the researchers write. “Employees could use dream journals and simple practices to ‘guide’ their nighttime visions, thus increasing their odds of having meaningful, awe-inspiring dreams.”A. A positive dream brings a sense of sudden insight, giving rise to awe.B. The increased awe was also proved to be associated with greater resilience.C. In fact, dreaming may help improve problem-solving skills in daily routine.D. Here, too, good dreams boosted awe and resilience, fueling progress on work goals.E. It finds that remembering a good dream can help people make progress in the day’s tasks.F. Researchers acknowledge that dreams may involve content related to waking experiences.G. They then answered the question about whether they thought the dream was positive or negative.（2024北京东城高三二模）Socrates, Galileo, Marie Curie, Einstein ... What did these great thinkers have in common? They all practiced deliberate doubt and used it as a tool to improve their thinking and generate creative ideas.21 It is about suspending our certainty and letting go of our preconceived（先入为主的）notions in order to explore new ideas and perspectives. When we’re certain of something, we tend to stop looking for alternative explanations or possibilities. 22 Doubt can, of course, be unsettling, but it can also result in a greater understanding of a subject and inspire fresh thoughts and insights.23 But it doesn’t mean we should use it all the time. While deliberate doubt can be a valuable tool for generating creative ideas and exploring complex problems, it can also be counterproductive if it is not practiced in the right way.It’s important to keep in mind that deliberate doubt is not constant doubt. If we’re continuously doubting our own ideas, we’ll be less likely to pursue them and see them through to completion. 24 We spend so much time doubting everything and end up not doing anything.25 We can become self-critical and unsure of our abilities, which can undermine our self-esteem. As aresult, we may be too afraid to try new things or take risks.To avoid these traps, it’s important to strike a balance between doubt and certainty, and to use doubt as a tool to stimulate creative thinking and exploration, rather than as a means of undermining ourselves or others.A. Deliberate doubt can also lead to a lack of confidence.B. But when we doubt, we’re forced to consider other perspectives.C. In this case, deliberate doubt can prevent us from making decisions.D. When practiced all the time, deliberate doubt can lead to a different belief.E. By turning doubt into a deliberate process, we open ourselves to new possibilities.F. Deliberate doubt is the practice of actively questioning our beliefs and assumptions.G. Deliberate doubt can help us to develop a more open-minded approach to the world.（2024北京海淀高三二模）Being sensitive means that you are observant, careful, and thoughtful. It can also mean you sometimes overinterpret or overreact to perceived criticism or judgment. If you tend to be a highly sensitive person, you are more likely to misread signals from others, sense social threats, and struggle to adapt to new circumstances. 26The power of insensitivity can be interpreted as “sluggish (迟钝的) power”. 27 For example, those working on complex research projects with “sluggish power” persist with focus and determination in the face of challenges such as tight deadlines and limited resources. Their resilience facilitates effective problem-solving, ensuring the successful completion of tasks despite obstacles.28 That is one of the important reasons why insensitivity allows a person to better survive and adapt in a competitive environment. Knowing oneself is difficult, but knowing oneself correctly is undoubtedly an excellent ability—a trait shared by many successful people, who all clearly know where their strengths are, what they can do, what they want, and what direction to go.Practicing insensitivity involves several key strategies. Firstly, be assertive. Express our needs and opinions positively and with confidence. Secondly, adopt a forward-looking mindset.29 Additionally, detach from external influences. Avoid excessive concern over others’ opinions and speculation on others’ thoughts. L astly, manage relationships. Recognize our personal responsibilities while respecting others’ boundaries. Don’t interfere with other people’s subjects and don’t let others interfere with ours either.30 Once you become a bit “blunt” and slow down the pace, you will feel more comfortable.A. Learn to view the problem as two parts.B. That’s where the need to be insensitive comes from.C. I hope everyone can obtain the ability to be insensitive.D. Behind insensitivity is a strong sense of self-awareness.E. Being a highly sensitive person can come with many challenges.F. It implies the ability to calmly face the setbacks and firmly move forward.G. Focus on long-term goals rather than the ups and downs of life at the moment.（2024北京西城高三二模）Want to write better? There’s a new book that says simple writing is best.Do you check your text messages before sending? 31 If not, you might prefer getting things done fast, even if they’re not perfect.This book argues that it’s important to write carefully, even for quick messages. Todd Rogers and Jessica LaskyFink, from Harvard, wrote “Writing For Busy Readers”. It’s smartly named because everyone’s busy today. People get lots of messages every day, from emails to texts. 32 Deciding what to read, skim, or ignore happens many times a day for almost everyone.The authors share good writing tips, like cutting unnecessary words and using simple words everyone knows. They say it’s important to keep sentences simple. They tested the idea that less is more. For example, they sent an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey. They made the email shorter, from 127 to 49 words, and got double the responses (from 2.7% to 4.8%). 33The same is true for text messages. In another test, they sent a short message asking parents to take a survey. It got more responses than a longer, more sympathetic one. Sometimes, being short and clear works better than being kind but ignored. It’s not just what you say, but how quickly you say it that matters.It’s not just about word count. 34 Reducing the number of options has the same effect. Short, active sentences with common words are best.From posts to online reviews, following these rules gets more likes and shares. Serious writers should pay attention too. A study found that companies using long sentences and complicated words were seen as less moral and trustworthy.35 It might be tempting to send messages quickly and hope for the best. But taking time to write for your readers has benefits. If you send a rushed message that readers ignore, it’s like you didn’t send it at all.A. If everyone is a busy reader, everyone is a busy writer too.B. They can also get puzzled by social media platforms.C. If you do, you probably like making even the simplest messages perfect.D. They found that longer messages make people think the task will take longer.E. Keeping messages to one idea, or as few as possible, helps make sure they’re read,remembered, and acted on.F. Your goal is to convey enough passion that your readers think the issue in yourmessage is worth caring about.G. Explaining the thinking behind your messages will allow readers to see that youknow what you’re talking about.参考答案1．G 2．C 3．B 4．F 5．D【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述了在对抗糖依赖时，避免在饮食中添加糖以及替代甜味剂。

Uncertainty is all around us, never more so than today. Whether it concerns your health or relationships, much of what lies ahead in life remains uncertain.We’re all different in how much uncertainty we can tolerate in life. Some people seem to enjoy taking risks and living unpredictable lives, while others find the randomness of life deeply annoying. But all of us have a limit. If you feel controlled by uncertainty and worry, it’s important to know that you’re not alone; many of us are in the same boat.To cope with all this uncertainty, many of us use worrying as a tool for trying to predict the future and avoid unpleasant surprises. Worrying can make it seem like you have some control over uncertain circumstances. You may also believe that it will help you find a solution to your problems or prepare you for the worst. Unfortunately, long-term worrying just robs you of enjoyment in the present and weakens your energy. But there are healthier ways to cope with uncertainty.Identify your uncertainty trigger (诱发因素). A lot of uncertainty tends to be self-generated. However, some can be generated by external sources, such as reading media stories that focus on bad news, or simply communicating with anxious friends. By recognizing your triggers, you can take action to avoid or reduce your exposure to them.Shift your attention. Focus on solvable worries, taking action on those aspects of a problem that you can control, or simply go back to what you were doing. When the feelings of uncertainty return, refocus your mind on the present moment and your own breathing.1．How are people different in tolerating uncertainty in life?2．Why do many people use worrying as a tool to deal with uncertainty?3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.▶ Knowing the triggers of your uncertainty, you can learn to expose yourself to them.4．What are you most uncertain about right now? How will you deal with it? (In about 40 words)（2024北京丰台高三二模）阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。

This was memorable for not so good reasons. We were camping on Fraser Island. I decided to go for a nature walk alone from the camp over to the beach. After 1 for some time I decided I should 2 and head back to the camp. On doing this I met with an overly friendly Dingo（澳洲野狗）.Not thinking much about it at the time and being my first 3 with it, I was all at sea-but kept on walking. But the Dingo kept on walking too! I tried telling it to get away; no 4 from the Dingo. I then decided to try and move around the Dingo; it kept moving with me, almost 5 what I was doing. I then tried going into the water, thinking 6 the Dingo wouldn't want to come in. I walked in until the water was over my knees and the Dingo walked right on in too. It didn't want me to go anywhere!At this point I became a little 7 but luckily at that 8 moment a car driving by saw what was happening and beeped the horn（喇叭）, both in order to get my attention and to 9 off the Dingo. I jumped onto the step and held on while the car drove me back up to the 10 safely. Safe to say that was the last time I went walking on my own and I will never break into the wild animals' habitats again.1. A. waiting B. checking C. skipping D. walking2.

My friends often ask why a girl could achieve all these.I always grew up a big fan of fiction.I read the Harry Potter books and loved anything fantasy.I realized that a common theme of hero stories is that the hero must always make a choice to start their adventure.If you don't pick up the sword in your own story because you are afraid of what may happen next，you risk not having a story at all.4. Why did the author apply to MIT？______A. The majors in MIT interested her.B. Her mother urged her to go to MIT.C. She set this goal as a high-schooler.D. A summer program made her love MIT.5. What does the author think about her occupation？______A. It's easy to predict what she does.B. It's hard for a girl to have such a career.C. She is annoyed by being misunderstood.D. She is proud to work for human well-being.6. What does the author value most in the Cassini mission？______A. Its historic contributions.B. The team it brought together.C. Breathtaking images of the planet.D. The opportunity to operate the cameras.7. What can we learn from the story？______A. Practice makes perfect.B. No way is impossible to courage.C. Well begun is half done.D. Time lost cannot be won again.CHave you ever been indecisive in the decision of what color car you like？Last November，a magazine with great influence revealed its annual list of the Best Inventions，which are changing how we live，work，play，and think about what's possible.One of these inventions was the"color changing car".At the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show，a famous car company showcased a concept car that can change colors.The surface coating of this car features e-ink that is most well-known from the displays ofe-readers.It contains many millions of micro-capsules，each of which contains negatively charged white pigments（颜料）and positively charged black pigments.Depending on the chosen setting，stimulation by means of an electrical field causes either the white or the black pigments to collect at the surface of the micro-capsule，giving the car body the desired shade.The color chosen for a car is an expression of the driver's personalities.It offers a completely new way of changing the vehicle's appearance in line with the driver's preferences，the environmental conditions or even functional requirements.A variable exterior color can contribute to energy saving and wellness in the interior.This is done by taking into account the different abilities of light and dark colors when it comes to reflecting sunlight and the associated absorption of thermal energy.Heating of the vehicle as a result of strong sunlight and high outside temperatures can be reduced by changing the exterior to a light color.In cooler weather，a dark outer skin will help the vehicle to absorb noticeably more warmth from the sun.This would reduce the amount of energy the vehicle electrical system needs，lowering the fuel or electricity consumption.In the interior，the technology could，for example，prevent the dashboard from heating up too much.In electric cars，changing the color with the weather would thus increase the range of the car.Considering the recent push for electric vehicles，this color changing technology could be a game-changer."Digital experiences won't just be limited to displays in the future.There will be more and more connection between the real and virtual.With this concept car，we are bringing the car body to life，"says Frank Weber，a member of the board of this company.8. The concept car can change colors mainly because of ______ .A. the reflection of sunlightB. the stability of electrical fieldC. the area of white and black e-inkD. the gathering of charged pigments9. As for the color changing car，which would the author agree with？______A. It will be put into mass production in the near future.B. It can change colors automatically according to weather.C. It can show personalities and improve car performance.D. It will save energy by transforming heat into electrical energy.10. Which would be the best title for the passage？______A. Car Design：New Challenges.B. The Development of Car Exterior.C. Magical E-ink in Car Design.D. New Invention of Cars：Tailored Exterior.DDo you know forests are one of our planet's greatest carbon sinks This means that they absorb an enormous amount of carbon released into the atmosphere，a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change and the earth's rising temperature.The poplar tree，standing tall and regal，is known for its fast-growing nature and its gray，white，or black bark.A biotechnology firm in San Francisco，CA，genetically modified poplar trees.According to a four-month study conducted in their greenhouse，the engineered trees grew 53% larger than their normal counterparts and stored 27% more CO2.In February 2023，the company also planted modified poplar trees in southern Georgia.This marks the first time in the United States that engineered trees have been planted outside of a controlled lab setting!All plants experience photosynthesis（光合作用），where sunlight，water，and CO2 are transformed into glucose and oxygen.However，almost all trees release a poisonous substance in the process.To remove this substance，trees must use up newly-produced energy in another step known as photo-respiration（光呼吸作用），which does not produce any energy and releases CO2 back into the atmosphere.To prevent plants from wasting their energy，the biotechnology firm engineered their poplar trees with genes found ingreen algae.First tested in tobacco plants，the foreign genes change the poisonous substance produced by trees into sugars，so that more energy can be used for removing carbon and tree growth. Researchers from the company are planting their poplar trees on private land that has been previously disturbed，such as abandoned coal mines in Pennsylvania.The modified trees will be planted between natives like sweet gum and bald cypress to boost biodiversity and maintain soil fertility（肥沃）.Plant biologist Norberto Martinez from the University of Illinois suggests the engineered poplar trees may not thrive outdoors or will require more water and fertilizer to maintain their fast growth.Many sustainable forestry organizations have also banned engineered trees from being planted in forests.The Global Justice Ecology Project argued that these trees could interfere with efforts to protect and regenerate forests. Though there may be opposing opinions regarding genetically modified poplar trees，one thing is for sure：they hold the potential to lower greenhouse gases in our environment at a faster rate.This company's attempt is certainly an innovative approach to the ongoing climate crisis.11. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？______A. The necessity to absorb CO2.B. The basic idea behind engineered trees.C. The effect of photosynthesis on plants.D. The importance of energy transformation.12. What does the underlined phrase"interfere with"in Paragraph 5 probably mean？______A. Save.B. Measure.C. Interrupt.D. Strengthen.13. What can we infer about the engineered poplar trees？______A. Their first planting state was Pennsylvania.B. Their potential to absorb CO2 outweighs concerns.C. They can release more oxygen than normal poplar trees.D. They will grow better if planted away from normal plants.14. The main purpose of the passage is to ______ .A. inform and argueB. analyse and adviseC. argue and discussD. examine and assess二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Communion is a very difficult art.To commune with one another over many problems that we have requires listening and learning，which are both very difficult to do.（1）______ To commune with each other，we require a certain capacity，a certain way of listening—not merely to gather information，which any schoolboy can do，but rather listening in order to understand.（2）______ Learning is not merely the accumulation（积累）of knowledge.Knowledge never changes the way you think；experience never flowers into the beauty of understanding.Most of us listen with the background of what we know and we have experienced.Perhaps you have never noticed the difference between the mind that really learns and the mind that merely gathers knowledge.（3）______ It is always translating what it hears in terms of its own experience or in terms of the knowledge which it has gathered.It is caught up in the process of accumulating and adding to what it already knows，and such a mind is incapable of learning.I do not know if you have noticed this.So it seems to me very important that we commune with each other quietly，in a dignified manner，and for that there must be a listening and a learning.When you commune with your own heart，when you commune with your friend，when you commune with the skies，with the stars，with the sunset，with a flower，then surely you are listening so as to learn.It does not mean that you accept or deny.（4）______ When you commune with the sunset，with a friend，with your wife or with your child，you do not criticize，you do not deny or support，translate or identify.You are communing.You are learning.You are searching out.（5）______I think it is important to understand that a man who accumulates can never learn.Self-learning implies a fresh and eager mind—a mind that is not committed，that does not belong to anything and that is not limited to any particular field.It is only such a mind that learns.A.Most of us hardly listen，and we hardly learn.B.Here is a personal story that illustrates this differenceC.The mind that is accumulating knowledge never learns.D.How can we make the shift from accumulating to learningE.It seems to me of the utmost importance that we do listen in order to learn.F.From this inquiry comes the movement of learning，which is never accumulative.G.You are learning and either acceptance or denial of what is being said puts an end to learning.15.
