28、chnology High School, mathematics teacher Eddie Woo is already at work.One of the first things before the first bell rings is to set up his tripod (三脚架) and iPad in the middle of the classroom. This technology is Mr. Woos core tool of the trade. “Im Mr Woo. I record my lessons. I record all of them.
29、 In fact, Im about to record this one,” he explains to his new maths class.The unique approach to teaching mathematics has not gone unnoticed. Mr. Woo is arguably the most famous teacher in Australia-a maths teacher by day and an Internet sensation (轰动) by night.He started posting videos online in 2
30、012 for a student who was sick with cancer and missing a lot of school. Other students in the class then wanted to watch Mr Woos videos on his free YouTube channel and website, so he started sharing them across the country and beyond. Wootube now boasts more than 38,000 subscribers (用户) and has attr
31、acted almost 4 million viewers worldwide.Cherrybrook Technology High School principal Gary Johnson said Mr Woo was helping address a standing shortage of maths teachers in Australia, and making maths popular again. “He has an ability to simplify mathematics to a level where kids can really understan
32、d it,” Mr. Johnson said.12-year-old student Emily Shakespear said Mr. Woos teaching style made maths irresistible. “I dont want to say it, but he sucked me into maths,” she said. Owen Potter, who attends high school in Cobar, agreed. “Its difficult to understand how someone in Sydney can influence t
33、housands of people across the whole country,” he said.Mr Woo won the 2017 University of Sydney Young Alumni Award for Outstanding Achievement, and he was one of 12 Australian teachers honored at the Commonwealth Bank Teaching Awards.41.

Mr. Woos contributions to teaching have been recognised.CThe habit-forming process within our brains is a three-step loop (回路). First there is a cue, a trigger
38、 that tells your brain to go into automatic mode and which habit to use. Then there is the routine, which can be physical or mental or emotional. Finally, there is a reward, which helps your brain figure out if this particular loop is worth remembering for the future. Over time, this loop-cue, routi
39、ne, reward-becomes more and more automatic. The cue and reward become intertwined (交织) until a powerful sense of anticipation and a desire appears. Eventually, a habit is born.Habits arent destiny. Habits can be ignored, changed, or replaced. But the reason why the discovery of the habit loop is so
40、important is that it reveals a basic truth: When a habit appears, the brain stops fully participating in decision making. It stops working so hard; or shifts fucus to other tasks. So unless you deliberately fight a habit-unless you find new routines-the pattern will unfold automatically.Habits never
41、 really disappear. Theyre encoded (嵌入) into the structures of our brain, and thats a huge advantage for us, because it would be awful if we had to relearn how to drive after every vacation. The problem is that your brain cant tell the difference between bad and good habits; and so if you have a bad
42、one, its always lurking (隐藏) there, waiting for the right cues and rewards.This explains why its so hard to create exercise habits, for instance, or change what we eat. Once we develop a routine of sitting on the sofa, rather than running, or snacking whenever we pass a doughnut box, those pattens a
43、lways remain inside our heads. By the same rule, though, if we learn to create new neurological (神经系统的) routines that overpower those behaviors-if we take control of the habit loop-we can force those bad tendencies into the background. And once someone creates a new pattern, studies have demonstrate
44、d, going for a jog or ignoring the doughnuts becomes as automatic as any other habit.Of course, those decisions are habitual, effortless. As long as your basal ganglia (基底核) is complete and the cues remain constant, the behaviors will occur unthinkingly. At the same time, however, the brains depende
45、nce on automatic routines can be dangerous. Habits are often as much a curse as a benefit.46. What can we learn about the habit loop from the first two paragraphs?A. It helps your brain understand what is worth remembering.B. It is a three step loop consisting of a cue, a routine and a reward.C. It
46、becomes automatic and develops a sense of anticipation and desire.D. It reveals a basic truth that the pattern of a habit will unfold automatically.47. The advantage of habits never really disappearing is that _.A. we can easily change what we eat.B. we develop a routine of sitting on the sofa.C. we
47、 dont necessarily learn a skill again.D. we can distinguish between bad and good habits.48. What can be inferred from the last sentence in Paragraph 4?A. Habits can be changed and replaced.B. Habits cannot be ignored or created.C. Old patterns always exist in our brain.D. New patterns seldom remain
48、in our heads.49. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The discovery of the habit loop.B. The automatic pattern of habits.C. The research on the habit-forming process.D. The brains dependence on automatic routines.50. How is the passage developed?A. By analysing principles and giving examples.B
49、. By making contrast between different habits.C. By presenting cause and effectD. By following the order of time.DTwenty years ago, crises like the wildfires burning California and Hurricane Laura striking Louisiana in 2020 could have been described as “natural disasters.” Thanks to climate change,
50、this is no longer the case. Around mid-August last year, the temperature in Death Valley hit the highest ever recorded on Earth A hotter, drier California is much more likely to burst into flames. The Gulf of Mexico too is heating up, with dangerous consequences. Hurricanes draw their energy from th
51、e warmth of the surface waters and so are becoming stronger and more likely to intensify.Perhaps we need a new term to call these events, namely “man-made natural disasters.”People now play such a dominant role on the planet. By cutting down forests and digging mines and building cities, weve transf
52、ormed half of the ice-free land on Earth. With our advanced tools, we move around more earth than all the worlds rivers and streams. As a consequence, all sorts of catastrophes extend across the line between man and nature. Many earthquakes, for example, are now caused by human activity, Meanwhile,
53、as the climate continues to warm, wildfires will grow even larger and storms more damaging. As Andrew Dessler, a professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas A&M University, observed last fall, “If you dont like all of the climate disasters happening in 2020, I have some bad news for you about the res
54、t of your life.”Whats to be done? According to some scientists, the best way to deal with, human intervention (干扰) in the natural world is to intervene better. Old technologies got us into this situation; new ones will get us out. Advocates of this view note the extraordinary advances that are being
55、 made all the time, in fields ranging from computing to genetics 1o material science. To prevent climate change, engineers have built machines that suck carbon dioxide out of the air. Today the numbers are limited, but perhaps one day theyll be as common as mobile phones.Other scientists argue that
56、the new world altering technologies are likely to have much the same impact as the old world-altering technologies, only with. higher risks. Consider the example of some chemicals, which were produced in the hope of solving the problems caused by early refrigerants (制冷剂), but finally destroyed the o
57、zone layer (臭氧层).As for me, the choice we face is not whether to change the world; that, decision unfortunately has been made. The decision going forward is how are we going to change it? Over the years Ive interviewed scores of scientists, inventors, and entrepreneurs, and Im continually impressed
58、by how smart humans are as a species. But then, the wind blows in smoke from 3,000 miles away, and Im reminded of how dangerous we are as well.51. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The severe situation of the Californias wildfires.B. The cause of current natural disasters on earth.C.
59、 The conditions of climate warming nowadays.D. The development of the natural disasters.52. What message is implied in Andrew Desslers words?A. Worse consequences will happen if humans dont act.B. Human beings will continue to take control of the earth.C. All natural disasters are brought about by h
60、uman beings.D. Nature will never be restored due to human beings mistakes.53. What is some scientists attitude toward the events in nature?A. To spend more money on technology development.B. To reduce human intervention in the natural world.C. To produce machines to take CO2 out of the air.D. To app
61、ly new technologies to dealing with them.54. How do other scientists argue about new technologies?A. Machines will be developed to improve climate warning.B. More engineers are needed to develop new technologies.C. New technologies can cause new problems to mankind.D. New technologies can change the
62、 world for certain.55. What does the author indicate in the last paragraph?A. We should not change the world any more.B. We should feel proud of humans intelligence.C. It is the way humans change the world that counts.D. Although humans are smart, we are in danger as well.第卷(非选择题 共35分)第三部分:写作第一节:阅读表

DCThe habit-forming process within our brains is a three-step loop (回路). First there is a cue, a trigger that tells your brai
109、n to go into automatic mode and which habit to use. Then there is the routine, which can be physical or mental or emotional. Finally, there is a reward, which helps your brain figure out if this particular loop is worth remembering for the future. Over time, this loop-cue, routine, reward-becomes mo
110、re and more automatic. The cue and reward become intertwined (交织) until a powerful sense of anticipation and a desire appears. Eventually, a habit is born.Habits arent destiny. Habits can be ignored, changed, or replaced. But the reason why the discovery of the habit loop is so important is that it
111、reveals a basic truth: When a habit appears, the brain stops fully participating in decision making. It stops working so hard; or shifts fucus to other tasks. So unless you deliberately fight a habit-unless you find new routines-the pattern will unfold automatically.Habits never really disappear. Th

The problem is that your brain cant tell the difference between bad and good habits; and so if you have a bad one, its always lurki
113、ng (隐藏) there, waiting for the right cues and rewards.This explains why its so hard to create exercise habits, for instance, or change what we eat. Once we develop a routine of sitting on the sofa, rather than running, or snacking whenever we pass a doughnut box, those pattens always remain inside o
114、ur heads. By the same rule, though, if we learn to create new neurological (神经系统的) routines that overpower those behaviors-if we take control of the habit loop-we can force those bad tendencies into the background. And once someone creates a new pattern, studies have demonstrated, going for a jog or
115、 ignoring the doughnuts becomes as automatic as any other habit.Of course, those decisions are habitual, effortless. As long as your basal ganglia (基底核) is complete and the cues remain constant, the behaviors will occur unthinkingly. At the same time, however, the brains dependence on automatic rout
116、ines can be dangerous. Habits are often as much a curse as a benefit.46. What can we learn about the habit loop from the first two paragraphs?A. It helps your brain understand what is worth remembering.B. It is a three step loop consisting of a cue, a routine and a reward.C. It becomes automatic and
117、 develops a sense of anticipation and desire.D. It reveals a basic truth that the pattern of a habit will unfold automatically.47.

The Gulf of Mexico too is heating up, with dangerous consequences. Hurricanes draw their en
122、ergy from the warmth of the surface waters and so are becoming stronger and more likely to intensify.Perhaps we need a new term to call these events, namely “man-made natural disasters.”People now play such a dominant role on the planet. By cutting down forests and digging mines and building cities,
123、 weve transformed half of the ice-free land on Earth. With our advanced tools, we move around more earth than all the worlds rivers and streams. As a consequence, all sorts of catastrophes extend across the line between man and nature. Many earthquakes, for example, are now caused by human activity,
124、 Meanwhile, as the climate continues to warm, wildfires will grow even larger and storms more damaging. As Andrew Dessler, a professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas A&M University, observed last fall, “If you dont like all of the climate disasters happening in 2020, I have some bad news for you a
125、bout the rest of your life.”Whats to be done? According to some scientists, the best way to deal with, human intervention (干扰) in the natural world is to intervene better. Old technologies got us into this situation; new ones will get us out. Advocates of this view note the extraordinary advances th

Today the numbers are limited, but perhaps one day theyll be as common as mobile phones.Other scientists
127、 argue that the new world altering technologies are likely to have much the same impact as the old world-altering technologies, only with. higher risks.
