1、高三上学期第十周英语周测第一节 阅读理解（每小题2分，共20小题，满分40分） AHave you ever thought that your life will be perfect if something in your outside world changes? You may say, “I will live happily if I find my soul mate.” You may say, “If the perfect job comes along, I will get satisfaction. My problem is that my boss is st
2、upid.” Or you may say, “If I have a child, I will know what it is like to be loved.” The problem is that it is not the outside world that prevents you from experiencing peace, love and joy. Instead, it is your own internal patterns that get in your way.To prove this point, at my weekend programs, I
3、had my students look at a flower on my table. Then I asked them to share their experiences. Some showed a state of complete joy because staring at the flower reminded them of their wedding or a great trip with their lovers. Others said the flower made them angry because it reminded them of a gift gi
4、ven by a former partner who turned against them. Some students even told me that the flower reminded them of their beloved grandmothers gardens with some shedding tears of joy and others shedding tears of sadness. However, the flower was still just a flower.Our internal patterns decide whether each
5、moment is filled with peace, anger, joy, love or sadness. When you dont realize that it is your own internal state that is creating your experience, you are likely to blame the external situations in your life. Most people arent taught that emotion is a choice. And they arent taught how to change th
6、ose lower emotional patterns such as anger, anxiety, sadness and so on. Next time, when you meet something bad, please look at your internal state. When you accept that you are responsible for your own state, and find the courage to turn inward, you can step out of being a slave to what shows up in

She was amazed by the number of people affected by lead pollution in water and want
12、ed to do something to change this. Gitanjali spent months trying to convince local high schools and colleges to give her lab time to continue her experiment. At home, Gitanjali worked on her project in the “science room” she asked her parents to create for her. Rao has created a device that uses thr
13、ee parts: a cartridge, a Bluetooth reader and an app. To put it simply, the cartridge contains carbon nanotubes（纳米管）that react to lead. This reaction is then registered by the Bluetooth reader, which sends a signal to a mobile app that can tell you immediately if your water is safe to drink.Rao appr
14、opriately named the device Tethys after the Greek goddess of fresh water, and is hoping to make a little improvement to get the device on the market. While we may not be aware of any lead pollution present in our aging pipelines, lead poisoning can cause delays in physical and mental development. Wi

Appreciation of the Global WondersDAs the parent of a 7-year-old boy, sometimes I feel like “no” is my most frequently said word. But if I look honestly at the big picture of
27、my daily vocabulary, I probably would conclude that it actually contains too much “yes”. Saying yes means opening myself up to new experiences, inviting new or deeper relationships. But too much “yes” leaves any of us feeling anxious, overcommitted（过分受约束的）and powerless to set and maintain boundaries
28、 in our lives.This had been on my mind when The Book of No: 365 Ways to Say It and Mean Itand Stop People-PleasingForever came across my desk. The new edition of this decade-old book by psychologist Susan Newman is a must-read book for those of us who struggle to say “no” with authenticity, confiden
29、ce and kindness.Newman calls people who feel forced to say yes all their way through life “people-pleasers”. The chief symptoms of this condition include associating helping others with your self-respect, holding expectations that you will care for others and feeling unwilling to state your own need
30、s when a request comes your way. For people-pleasers, “yes is the path of least resistance and the way to avoid damaging your relationship with the asker,” Newman writes.The book offers brief dialogues for hundreds of scenarios in which “no” is the right answer, for reasons ranging from time managem
31、ent to financial pressures to emotional boundaries. Newman considers what came about among friends, at work, within families and in parenting. Reading through the scenarios, I realized they have some things in commonthings that immediately started helping me improve my “no” skills.Do you think this
32、book might be helpful to you? Its OK if the answer is “no”, but I do highly recommend it for your Positive Reading List shelf.13.

Say “yes” constantly without feeling guilty.E Maths and Music An excellent way to kill a conversation is
35、to say you are a mathematician Tell others you are also a musician， however， and they will be hooked Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity， there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe inIm partly referring her
36、e to the Mozart effect， where children who have been playing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent， including at maths， than other children It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular： we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort But the conclu
37、sions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest If you want your brain to work better， you clearly have to put in hard work As for learning to play the piano， it also takes effortSurely a connection is quite reasonable Both maths and music deal with abstr
38、act structures， so if you become good at one， then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other If this is correct， it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and
39、tennis To become better at one， you need to improve your fitness and coordination （协调） That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the otherAbstract structures dont exist only in maths and music If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar Yet w
40、e dont hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic ability Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical， so it wouldnt be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar Music， however， is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by peop
41、le who know little about it As such， it seems different from maths， so there wouldnt be any connection between the twoLets see how we solve problems of the A is to B as C is to D kind These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths Consider the opening of Mozar
42、ts Eine Kleine Nachtmusik The second phrase is a clear answer to the first The listener thinks： The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord （和弦）； what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7？ Music is full of puzzles like this If you are
43、 good at them， expectations will constantly be set up in your mind The best moments surprise you by being unexpected， but we need the expectations in the first place17What does the author say about Mozart effect？ _AThe goal of it was not carefully thought aboutBThe findings from it gave people wrong

47、e, when we wake up feeling sleepy and with dark circles under eyes, many of us often make a decision: “Im going to bed earlier tomorrow!” we are so determined. 21 We are still absorbed in what we are doing without realizing it is already too late the next day. This behavior is called “bedtime procra
48、stination” (睡眠拖延症), and results from lack of self-control and our body clock. 22 According to a study carried out by a group of health psychologists, 53 percent of the 2,400 participants said they didnt follow their sleep schedule, delaying it at least twice a week. They delayed bedtime because they
49、 couldnt stop doing other trivial things (琐事), which were keeping them up in the first place.People who generally have trouble resisting temptations (诱惑) and following their intentions firmly are also more likely to delay going to bed. They find it hard to control themselves. 23 Our body clock also
50、plays an important role when it comes to bedtime. Those who get up late are more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning. Night owls would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. 24 Therefore, if
51、we want to cure our bedtime procrastination, the intention to go to bed earlier is not enough. 25 We should have a clear understanding that bedtime procrastination is a big problem. The choices we make could turn out to be pretty important for our health.A. Bedtime procrastination is a common proble
52、m.B. It will have extreme effect on our health sooner or later.C. Yet, lack of self-control is not the only thing to blame. D. Unfortunately, chances are that we dont stick to our promise.E. Its their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime.F. Biological processes need to supp
53、ort this intention.G. So we just need to take action to change our sleep model.第三节 完形填空（每小题 1.5 分，满分30分）Experts say boredom is good for kids.
