Every day, little Laika searched for food and shelter through the streets and markets. One day, a man was approaching her and held out some food in one hand. Laika sniffed(闻) and slowly crept(爬) towards the treat. Whoosh! Laika was caught in the dogcatcher's net. She struggled to get free but it was no use. The scientists needed homeless dogs for some tests.
Life in the laboratory was difficult. Machine after machine, the scientists tested how Laika would handle the situation. The scientists liked Laika as she always stayed calm and did whatever they asked her to. Soon, Laika became one of the three dogs considered for a special mission in space. A rocket would be launched in less than a month and there would be a dog on board. No person or animal had been to outer space. Vets and scientists were unsure if it was safe. Dr. Vladimir Yazdovsky recalled that before heading to the launch pad, he took the dog home to play with his children. "I wanted to do something nice for her. I was afraid she had little time left to live."
In October 1957, the rocket was ready. A special space suit was made just for Laika. The scientists said a teary goodbye and wished Laika good luck. Then, they put her in a tiny cabin in the rocket that was specially set up for her. Soon the engines roared to life. The noise was deafening and Laika's heart pounded. However, there was no turning back.
A small crowd watched as the gleaming rocket sped up through the sky and out of sight. People across the country cheered for the world's first true astronaut who carried on such a difficult and dangerous job. This tiny hero paved the way for many human astronauts to come. After a few other flights with dogs, the Soviet Union put the world's first human-Yuri Gagarin—into space on April 12, 1961.

Exams cause a lot of worry: the silence of the hall; the ticking of the clock; the confident expression of the student who has finished 15 minutes early. It therefore seems hardly surprising that those who worry about taking tests do systematically worse than those who do not. What is, perhaps, unexpected, according to research published by Maria Theobald, is that it is not the pressure of the exam hall which causes the problem. It is the pressure of revision.
Dr. Theobald theorised if anxiety was truly intervening(干预) a student's ability to transfer known information from brain to paper, then those with high levels of it would perform worse in a real exam than in a mock(模拟) or during online practice sessions.
She therefore invited 309 German medical students to participate in a test which consisted of 230 questions. During the 100 days before the actual papers, volunteers used a digital-learning platform which presented them with old exam questions and recorded their performance. They also sat a mock examination, clearly presented to them as such, 40 days before the real exam. To assess their levels of anxiety, they were asked, every day for 40 days in the run-up to the real exam and also on the test day, to respond on a five-point scale to statements like, “I feel tense and nervous.”
Dr. Theobald found that anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What it did predict was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam and the digital-learning activities. What actually hampered students, it turned out, were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place. The greater a student's anxiety in the days before the exam, the lower his or her knowledge-gain was during that period, leaving that student with less material to recall during the exam itself.
8、What does Paragraph 2 talk about?
A. The testing assumption. B. The experimental result.
C.The theoretic basis. D. The research method.
9、What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A.What Dr. Theobald found was not what she expected.
B.Students with test-anxiety perform worse in real exams.
C.Students should have mock exams before the final exam.
D. A moderate level of stress brings better exam performance.
10、What does the underlined word “hampered" in the last paragraph mean?
A.Motivated. B.Confused. C.Restricted. D. Encouraged.
11、What is one of the findings of Dr. Theobald's research?
A. The exam is the source of students' anxiety.
B. Anxiety during exams does not cause bad results.
C. Those who worry about exams do worse than those who don't.
D. A change of approach to revision might help improve the results.
Technology has been around for a long time, and we've used it as a tool to communicate more rapidly and effectively. But in the past few years, technology has almost takes the place of conversation. People send messages back and forth, not realizing that they never have live contact with the other person. "That's OK, right?" one might ask. "We're still communicating. The relationship looks a little different, but we're still connecting back and forth." One study showed that only 7 percent of communication is the words we use. Thirty-eight percent is our tone of voice, and 55 percent is body language. In face-to-face conversation, we're using all three. On the phone, we've lost the body language-so we're down to two. When our communication is completely through email, texting or social media, we're down to one.
Some people assume that technology is the enemy because it's robbing people of their conversational skills. Indeed, sharing words in print is a form of communication, but it doesn't convey the emotion that comes through tone of voice, facial expression, and body language. Written words can't hold or hug. Written words can't listen or make eye contact. When I wrote You Can't Text a Tough Conversation, I interviewed a lot of people. Most of them loved their technology. But most of them also felt like it had got out of control, and it was messing up their relationships in some way.
Technology isn't the enemy; it's just a tool. It's like a small sharp knife used by a doc-tor for doing an operation. In the hands of a skilled surgeon, it's good. In the hands of a crazed criminal, it's bad. Technology isn't going anywhere either. The key is figuring out how to get them to work together. It's like two porcupines(豪猪) that fall in love. They need each other, but have to learn how to keep from sticking each other and causing pain.
12、What could be the best title for the text?
A. Technology—the enemy or the tool?
B. Technology—the past or the future?
C. Technology—the traditional or the fashionable?
D. Technology—the modern or the ancient?
13、What will happen if our communication is completely through texting?
A. We'll lose 55 percent of the tools that help us connect.
B. We'll lose 45 percent of the tools that help us connect.
C.We'll lose 62 percent of the tools that help us connect.
D. We'll lose 93 percent of the tools that help us connect.
14、What does the author tend to agree about sharing words in print?
A.It becomes popular. B.It lacks human touch.
C.It destroys many relationships. D. It makes life much easier.
15、What can be inferred about technology from the last paragraph?
A.It can not go too far in relationships between people.
B.It can not take the place of traditional conversation.
C.Whether it's positive or negative depends on how we use it.
D.It should be used more smartly in the fields of medical care.
二、七选五
16、 The QR-code menu—which you access by scanning a black-and-white square with your smartphone—has taken off. ①_____ But I hope not, because I hate those digital menus.
For restaurants, QR-code menus offer potential benefits beyond putting germ-averse(厌恶细菌的) customers at greater ease. In the near future, restaurants might use dynamic men-us. ②____ Besides, the prices of some dishes could also rise or fall to better match supply with demand.
③_____ QR-code menus will force a distraction during the dining. You may just be checking to see what you want your next drink to be. However, from there it's easy to start checking texts and emails.
Research conducted before the pandemic suggests that, even if everyone resists the temptation to check an incoming text message, merely having a phone out on the table makes a meal less fun for all involved. ④_____ The social-psychology researcher Ryan Dwyer and his colleagues randomly assigned some people to keep their phone out when dining with friends and others to put it away. "We found that groups assigned to use their phones enjoyed the experience less than groups that did not use their phones," Dwyer said, "primarily due to the fact that participants with phones were more distracted."
QR-code menus reduce privacy, too. ⑤_____ Many of the codes are actually generated by a different company that collects, uses, and then often shares your personal information. In fact, companies that provide QR codes to restaurants like to talk about all the personal information you are sharing along with that food order: your location, your gender, your age group, and other information about you and your period.
A. QR codes have been around for a while.
B.I came across a study published in 2021.
C.QR-code menus are not really an advance.
D. Dishes disappear from them when kitchen runs out.
E. It seems that they are likely to replace restaurant menus.
F. Diners who use them aren't just communicating with the restaurant.
G. QR codes also present a great data collection opportunity for restaurants.

8、答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。根据第二段“Dr. Theobald theorised if anxiety was truly intervening(干预) a student's ability to transfer known information from brain to paper, then those with high levels of it would perform worse in a real exam than in a mock(模拟) or during online practice sessions.(Theobald博士的理论是,如果焦虑真的干扰了学生将已知信息从大脑转移到纸上的能力,那么焦虑水平高的学生在真实考试中的表现会比模拟考试或在线练习更差)”可知,第二段讲了测试假设。故选A。

Every day, little Laika searched for food and shelter through the streets and markets. One day, a man was approaching her and held out some food in one hand. Laika sniffed(闻) and slowly crept(爬) towards the treat. Whoosh! Laika was caught in the dogcatcher's net. She struggled to get free but it was no use. The scientists needed homeless dogs for some tests.
Life in the laboratory was difficult. Machine after machine, the scientists tested how Laika would handle the situation. The scientists liked Laika as she always stayed calm and did whatever they asked her to. Soon, Laika became one of the three dogs considered for a special mission in space. A rocket would be launched in less than a month and there would be a dog on board. No person or animal had been to outer space. Vets and scientists were unsure if it was safe. Dr. Vladimir Yazdovsky recalled that before heading to the launch pad, he took the dog home to play with his children. "I wanted to do something nice for her. I was afraid she had little time left to live."
In October 1957, the rocket was ready. A special space suit was made just for Laika. The scientists said a teary goodbye and wished Laika good luck. Then, they put her in a tiny cabin in the rocket that was specially set up for her. Soon the engines roared to life. The noise was deafening and Laika's heart pounded. However, there was no turning back.
A small crowd watched as the gleaming rocket sped up through the sky and out of sight. People across the country cheered for the world's first true astronaut who carried on such a difficult and dangerous job. This tiny hero paved the way for many human astronauts to come. After a few other flights with dogs, the Soviet Union put the world's first human-Yuri Gagarin—into space on April 12, 1961.

Exams cause a lot of worry: the silence of the hall; the ticking of the clock; the confident expression of the student who has finished 15 minutes early. It therefore seems hardly surprising that those who worry about taking tests do systematically worse than those who do not. What is, perhaps, unexpected, according to research published by Maria Theobald, is that it is not the pressure of the exam hall which causes the problem. It is the pressure of revision.
Dr. Theobald theorised if anxiety was truly intervening(干预) a student's ability to transfer known information from brain to paper, then those with high levels of it would perform worse in a real exam than in a mock(模拟) or during online practice sessions.
She therefore invited 309 German medical students to participate in a test which consisted of 230 questions. During the 100 days before the actual papers, volunteers used a digital-learning platform which presented them with old exam questions and recorded their performance. They also sat a mock examination, clearly presented to them as such, 40 days before the real exam. To assess their levels of anxiety, they were asked, every day for 40 days in the run-up to the real exam and also on the test day, to respond on a five-point scale to statements like, “I feel tense and nervous.”
Dr. Theobald found that anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What it did predict was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam and the digital-learning activities. What actually hampered students, it turned out, were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place. The greater a student's anxiety in the days before the exam, the lower his or her knowledge-gain was during that period, leaving that student with less material to recall during the exam itself.
8、What does Paragraph 2 talk about?
A. The testing assumption. B. The experimental result.
C.The theoretic basis. D. The research method.
9、What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A.What Dr. Theobald found was not what she expected.
B.Students with test-anxiety perform worse in real exams.
C.Students should have mock exams before the final exam.
D. A moderate level of stress brings better exam performance.
10、What does the underlined word “hampered" in the last paragraph mean?
A.Motivated. B.Confused. C.Restricted. D. Encouraged.
11、What is one of the findings of Dr. Theobald's research?
A. The exam is the source of students' anxiety.
B. Anxiety during exams does not cause bad results.
C. Those who worry about exams do worse than those who don't.
D. A change of approach to revision might help improve the results.
Technology has been around for a long time, and we've used it as a tool to communicate more rapidly and effectively. But in the past few years, technology has almost takes the place of conversation. People send messages back and forth, not realizing that they never have live contact with the other person. "That's OK, right?" one might ask. "We're still communicating. The relationship looks a little different, but we're still connecting back and forth." One study showed that only 7 percent of communication is the words we use. Thirty-eight percent is our tone of voice, and 55 percent is body language. In face-to-face conversation, we're using all three. On the phone, we've lost the body language-so we're down to two. When our communication is completely through email, texting or social media, we're down to one.
Some people assume that technology is the enemy because it's robbing people of their conversational skills. Indeed, sharing words in print is a form of communication, but it doesn't convey the emotion that comes through tone of voice, facial expression, and body language. Written words can't hold or hug. Written words can't listen or make eye contact. When I wrote You Can't Text a Tough Conversation, I interviewed a lot of people. Most of them loved their technology. But most of them also felt like it had got out of control, and it was messing up their relationships in some way.
Technology isn't the enemy; it's just a tool. It's like a small sharp knife used by a doc-tor for doing an operation. In the hands of a skilled surgeon, it's good. In the hands of a crazed criminal, it's bad. Technology isn't going anywhere either. The key is figuring out how to get them to work together. It's like two porcupines(豪猪) that fall in love. They need each other, but have to learn how to keep from sticking each other and causing pain.
12、What could be the best title for the text?
A. Technology—the enemy or the tool?
B. Technology—the past or the future?
C. Technology—the traditional or the fashionable?
D. Technology—the modern or the ancient?
13、What will happen if our communication is completely through texting?
A. We'll lose 55 percent of the tools that help us connect.
B. We'll lose 45 percent of the tools that help us connect.
C.We'll lose 62 percent of the tools that help us connect.
D. We'll lose 93 percent of the tools that help us connect.
14、What does the author tend to agree about sharing words in print?
A.It becomes popular. B.It lacks human touch.
C.It destroys many relationships. D. It makes life much easier.
15、What can be inferred about technology from the last paragraph?
A.It can not go too far in relationships between people.
B.It can not take the place of traditional conversation.
C.Whether it's positive or negative depends on how we use it.
D.It should be used more smartly in the fields of medical care.

16、 The QR-code menu—which you access by scanning a black-and-white square with your smartphone—has taken off. ①_____ But I hope not, because I hate those digital menus.
For restaurants, QR-code menus offer potential benefits beyond putting germ-averse(厌恶细菌的) customers at greater ease. In the near future, restaurants might use dynamic men-us. ②____ Besides, the prices of some dishes could also rise or fall to better match supply with demand.
③_____ QR-code menus will force a distraction during the dining. You may just be checking to see what you want your next drink to be. However, from there it's easy to start checking texts and emails.
Research conducted before the pandemic suggests that, even if everyone resists the temptation to check an incoming text message, merely having a phone out on the table makes a meal less fun for all involved. ④_____ The social-psychology researcher Ryan Dwyer and his colleagues randomly assigned some people to keep their phone out when dining with friends and others to put it away. "We found that groups assigned to use their phones enjoyed the experience less than groups that did not use their phones," Dwyer said, "primarily due to the fact that participants with phones were more distracted."
QR-code menus reduce privacy, too. ⑤_____ Many of the codes are actually generated by a different company that collects, uses, and then often shares your personal information. In fact, companies that provide QR codes to restaurants like to talk about all the personal information you are sharing along with that food order: your location, your gender, your age group, and other information about you and your period.
A. QR codes have been around for a while.
B.I came across a study published in 2021.
C.QR-code menus are not really an advance.
D. Dishes disappear from them when kitchen runs out.
E. It seems that they are likely to replace restaurant menus.
F. Diners who use them aren't just communicating with the restaurant.
G. QR codes also present a great data collection opportunity for restaurants.

解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“Dr. Theobald theorised if anxiety was truly intervening(干预) a student's ability to transfer known information from brain to paper, then those with high levels of it would perform worse in a real exam than in a mock(模拟) or during online practice sessions.(Theobald博士的理论是,如果焦虑真的干扰了学生将已知信息从大脑转移到纸上的能力,那么焦虑水平高的学生在真实考试中的表现会比模拟考试或在线练习更差)”以及第四段“Dr. Theobald found that anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What it did predict was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam and the digital–learning activities.(Theobald博士发现,考试当天的焦虑程度根本不能预测考试成绩。它预测的是学生在模拟考试和数字学习活动中展示的知识水平)”可推知,Theobald博士的发现与她的预期不同。故选A。
10、答案：C
解析：词句猜测题。根据最后一段画线词后文“The greater a student's anxiety in the days before the exam, the lower his or her knowledge-gain was during that period, leaving that student with less material to recall during the exam itself.(一个学生在考试前几天越焦虑,他或她在这段时间学到的知识就越少,在考试期间可以回忆的材料就越少)”由此可见,真正限制了学生的是考试前几周的高度焦虑。故画线词意思是“限制”,故选C。
11、答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“Dr. Theobald found that anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What it did predict was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam and the digital-learning activities. What actually hampered students, it turned out, were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place.(Theobald博士发现,考试当天的焦虑程度根本不能预测考试成绩。它预测的是学生在模拟考试和数字学习活动中展示的知识水平。事实证明,真正阻碍学生的是考试前几周的高度焦虑)”可知,Theobald博士的研究发现之一是考试时的焦虑不会导致不好的结果。故选B。
12、答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Technology has been around for a long time, and we've used it as a tool to communicate more rapidly and effectively. But in the past few years, technology has almost takes the place of conversation.”(科技已经存在很长时间了,我们一直将其作为一种更快速、更有效地交流的工具。但在过去的几年中,科技几乎取代了面对面的交流)以及第二段“Some people assume that technology is the enemy because it's robbing people of their conversational skills.”(有些人认为科技是敌人,因为它夺走了人们的对话技能。)可知,科技虽然给我们带来了方便,但是也有很多负面影响。所以标题为A项“科技—是敌人还是工具”。故选A项。
13、答案：D
解析：细节理解题。由文章第一段“One study showed that only 7 percent of communication is the words we use. Thirty-eight percent is our tone of voice, and 55 percent is body language.”(一项研究表明,我们传达的信息中,只有7%来自我们所使用的词语,38%来自语调,55%来自身体语言。)以及“When our communication is completely through email, texting or social media, we're down to one.”(当我们完全依赖电子邮件、短信或社交媒体进行沟通时,我们只使用了文字这一种沟通方式。)可知,如果我们完全使用短信进行沟通,我们只使用7%的词语,失去了93%的信息传达途径。故选D项。
14、答案：B
解析：细节理解题。由文章第二段“Indeed, sharing words in print is a form of communication, but it doesn't convey the emotion that comes through tone of voice, facial expression, and body language.”(确实,用文字分享信息是一种沟通方式,但它不能传达通过语调、面部表情和身体语言所传递的情感。)可知,作者认为用纸质文字分享信息缺乏真情实感的传递。故选B项。
15、答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“Technology isn't the enemy; it's just a tool. It's like a small sharp knife used by a doctor for doing an operation. In the hands of a skilled surgeon, it's good. In the hands of a crazed criminal, it's bad. Technology isn't going anywhere either.”(科技不是敌人,只是一种工具。它就像医生用来进行手术的锋利的刀子。在一个熟练的外科医生的手中,它是好的工具。但在一个疯狂的罪犯手中,它就是坏的工具。技术也一样。)可知,科技是一把双刃剑,科技的好坏取决于人们如何使用它。故选C项。
16、答案：EDCBF
解析：①上文“The QR-code menu—which you access by scanning a black-and-white square with your smartphone—has taken off.”(二维码菜单—你可以用智能手机扫描一个黑白方块来进入—已经开始流行起来。)引出话题,提到二维码菜单。下文“But I hope not, because I hate those digital menus.”(但我希望不是,因为我讨厌那些数字菜单。)说明相反的期望。故可推断空格处内容为二维码菜单可能会带来的影响。结合选项E项It seems that they are likely to replace restaurant menus.(看来它们很可能会取代餐馆的菜单。)符合此推断,为说明二维码菜单可能带来的影响。其中该句中的they指的是上文中的The QR-code,起到上下文的承上启下作用。故选E项。

③根据下文“QR-code menus will force a distraction during the dining.”(二维码菜单会让用餐时分心。)可知,讲的是二维码菜单的弊端。可推知,空格处内容也应与此相关,结合选项C项QR-code menus are not really an advance.(二维码菜单并不是真正的进步。)符合此推断,由下文内容意思一致,都是讲的二维码菜单的弊端,上下文语意连贯。故选C项。
④根据下文“The social-psychology researcher Ryan Dwyer and his colleagues randomly assigned some people to keep their phone out when dining with friends and others to put it away.”(社会心理学研究人员瑞安·德怀尔(Ryan Dwyer)和他的同事随机分配了一些人,让他们在和朋友吃饭时把手机放在外面,而另一些人则把手机收起来。)可知,讲的是研究的具体行为。结合选项B项I came across a study published in 2021.(我偶然发现了一项发表于2021年的研究。)可知,句中提到研究,与下文内容相呼应,下文是对空格处内容的具体说明解释。上下文语意连贯。故选B项。
⑤根据上文“QR-code menus reduce privacy, too.”(二维码菜单也减少了隐私。)引出话题。以及下文“Many of the codes are actually generated by a different company that collects, uses, and then often shares your personal information.”(许多二维码实际上是由另一家公司生成的,该公司收集、使用并分享你的个人信息。)说明许多代码实际上是由另一家公司生成的。故可推断空格处内容为使用二维码并不是局限于一个地方。结合选项F项Diners who use them aren't just communicating with the restaurant.(使用它们的食客不仅仅是在和餐厅交流。)符合此推断,起到上下文的承上启下作用,上下文语意连贯。故选F项。
