The Picky Eater
Howie's mother called him a picky eater. He would eat nothing much else but cheese sandwiches and tomato
soup.
One day, Howie's mother told him, "Your father and I will have a meeting tomorrow evening. You can play at
Ashwin's home and even stay for dinner."
"What?" Howie cried out before he could remember his manners. "I mean, that's great," he added unwillingly.
Howie liked playing with his friend Ashwin, but there were no cheese sandwiches at Ashwin's home!
"I know you are sensitive about being a picky eater, but you need to try new things. You can't eat sandwiches
and tomato soup forever. I expect you to have good manners at Ashwin's home. It's rude to say no when someone
offers you food, "his mother said.
The next day, Howie followed Ashwin into Ashwin's home and they played together for some time. "Why do
you keep checking the time? "Ashwin asked.
"I just wondered if it was time for dinner,"Howie said.
"Sure! Smell it! Yummy! "Ashwin said.
Dinner was ready. Howie dragged(拖)his feet as he walked to his seat. The food on the table was much more
colorful than his usual dinner. He had a sinking feeling in his stomach. How in the world could he eat this meal?
"Try it," Ashwin's mother said.
Howie wished he could say no, but he knew his mother expected him to try it. He scooped up a tiny bit of rice
and put it in his mouth, "Wow, it's delicious!"
After Howie went home, he told his mother the food he tried at Ashwin's home was delicious! She was happy
to know Howie behaved so politely and was willing to try some new foods. She said, "Is it possible that my picky

Sometimes it seems that time is flying. Perhaps it doesn’t need to feel this way. Our experience of time can be
possibly changed. By understanding the psychological (心理学的) processes behind our different experiences of
time, we might be able to slow down time a little.
One basic law of psychological time is that time seems to slow down when we’re exposed(接触) to new
environments and experiences. The law is caused by the relationship between our experience of time and the
amount of information our minds process. The more information our minds take in, the slower time seems to pass.
It follows, then, that we have different experiences of time in different situations. In some situations, our life is
full of new experiences. Our minds process a lot of information and time seems to slow down. In other situations,
we have fewer new experiences and the world around us becomes more and more familiar(熟悉的). We become
insensitive to our experience, which means we process less information, and time seems to speed up.
How can we slow down time? Here are two suggestions.
Firstly, since we know that familiarity makes time pass faster, we can expose ourselves to as many new
experiences as possible. We can give ourselves new challenges, meet new people, and expose our minds to new
information, hobbies and skills. This will increase the amount of information our minds process and expand (增加)
our experience of time.
Secondly, and perhaps most effectively, we can give our whole attention to an experience-to what we are
seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling or hearing. This means living through our senses rather than through our thoughts.
For example, on the way home, focus your attention outside of yourself, instead of thinking about the problems you
have to deal with. Look at the sky, or at the buildings you pass, traveling among them. This open attitude to your
experiences helps take in more information and also has a time-expanding effect.
To a certain degree, we can understand and control our experience of time passing. It’s possible for us to slow
down time by expanding our experience of time.
27. According to the writer, we can expand our experience of time by .
A. going to bed on time B. traveling to new places
C. having dinner as usual D. printing the same materials
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Being familiar with the world around helps us get more information.
B. Understanding psychological time makes life pass more quickly.
C. We can take in more information by living through our senses.
第9页/共17页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司D. We should build a stronger relationship between time and us.
29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Slow Down Time B. Only Time Will Tell
.
C Race Against Time D. Time Will Not Come Twice
【答案】27. B 28. C 29. A
【解析】
【分析】你知道吗？我们对时间的体验是可以改变的。根据心理学上的一个基本规律：当我们接触新的环
境和经历时，时间好像就会慢下来。怎样让时间慢下来呢？短文中给了我们两条建议。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文意和短文第二段One basic law of psychological time is that time seems to slow down when
we’re exposed(接触) to new environments and experiences.可知，当我们接触新环境和经历时，时间好像会变
慢。结合选项：A是“按时上床睡觉”；B是“去新的地方旅行”；C是“像往常一样吃晚饭”；D是
“打印相同的材料”。故应选B。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据短文第六段 Secondly, and perhaps most effectively, we can give our whole attention to an
experience-to what we are seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling or hearing. This means living through our senses rather
than through our thoughts.可知，通过我们的感官，我们可以吸收更多的信息。故应选C。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据短文第一段Our experience of time can be possibly changed.；再根据第二段One basic law of
psychological time is that time seems to slow down when we’re exposed( 接触) to new environments and
experiences.以及第四段How can we slow down time? Here are two suggestions.可知，短文先告诉我们“时间
的体验是可以改变的”，然后从心理学的角度解释了其中的原理，并对如何使时间变慢提出了建议。因此
整篇文章都是围绕Slow down time展开的，故选A最合适。
D
Most environmental pollution comes from humans and their inventions. The electric bulbs are thought to be
one of the greatest human inventions of all time. However, too much of a good thing has started to negatively
impact the environment. Light pollution, the extreme or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial light, is affecting
human health and wildlife behavior. There is a global movement to reduce light pollution, and everyone can help.
Light pollution is a global issue. This became particularly obvious when the World Atlas (地图册) of Night
Sky Brightness, a computer-generated map based on thousands of satellite photos, was published in 2016. Vast
areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia are glowing with light, while only Siberia, the Sahara,
and the Amazon are in total darkness.
第10页/共17页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Artificial light can wreak havoc on natural body rhythms in both humans and animals. It interrupts sleep and
confuses the circadian rhythm (生理节奏) — the internal, twenty-four-hour clock that guides day and night
activities and affects physiological processes in nearly all living organisms. One of these processes is the
production of the hormone melatonin (褪黑素), which is released when it is dark and is prevented when there is
light. An increased amount of light at night lowers melatonin production, which results in lack of sleep, headaches,
stress, anxiety, and other health problems. Blue light, in particular, has been shown to reduce levels of melatonin in
humans. It is found in cell phones and other computer devices, as well as in light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the kinds
of bulbs that have become popular at home and in industrial and city lighting due to their low cost and energy
efficiency.
Studies show that light pollution is also impacting animal behaviors, such as migration (迁徙) patterns and
habitat formation. Because of light pollution, sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration get confused, lose
their way, and often die. Large numbers of insects, a primary food source for birds and other animals, are drawn to
artificial light and are instantly killed upon contact with light sources. Even animals living under the deep sea may
be affected by underwater artificial lighting. One study looked at how animals in sea responded to brightly lit
panels put under water off the coast of Wales. Fewer filter feeding animals (滤食性动物), such as the sea squirt (海
鞘), made their homes near the lighted panels. This could mean that the artificial light is altering ocean ecosystems.
The good news is that light pollution, unlike many other forms of pollution, is reversible (可逆的) and each
one of us can make a difference! Now, many people are taking action to reduce light pollution and bring back the
natural night sky. Individuals are urged to use outdoor lighting only when and where it is needed, to make sure
outdoor lights are properly shielded (遮挡) and direct light down instead of up into the sky, and to close window
blinds, shades, and curtains at night to keep light inside.
30. What does the underlined phrase “wreak havoc on” in Para. 3 probably mean?
A. Greatly improve. B. Well maintain. C. Strictly manage. D. Seriously damage.
31. According to the passage, which would the author agree with?
A. Light pollution was first studied as a global issue in 2016.
B. Deep-sea environment can help animals avoid light pollution.
C. Artificial light affects the sense of direction and habits of animals.
D. LEDs can be used more because of low cost and energy efficiency.
32. What is the author’s attitude towards the control of light pollution?
A. Unconcerned. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Positive.
33. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To call on people to reduce light pollution. B. To discuss fors and againsts of artificial light.
第11页/共17页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. To give suggestions to protect environment. D. To show development prospect of artificial light.

【答案】30 D 31. C 32. D 33. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了人造光对人类和动物的危害，呼吁我们要行动起来，减少光污染。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“It interrupts sleep and confuses the circadian rhythm”可知，会打断睡眠，扰乱昼夜节律，
说明人造光会对人类和动物的自然身体节律造成严重破坏，所以划线单词与“Seriously damage”同义，故
选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Studies show that light pollution is also impacting animal behaviors, such as migration (迁
徙) patterns and habitat formation. Because of light pollution, sea turtles guided by moonlight during migration get
confused, lose their way, and often die.”可知，光污染也会影响动物的行为，如迁徙模式和栖息地形成。由于
光污染，海龟在月光的指引下迁徙，迷失方向，经常死亡，由此可知，人造光会影响动物的方向感和习性，
故选C。
【32题详解】
观点态度题。根据“The good news is that light pollution, unlike many other forms of pollution, is reversible (可
逆的) and each one of us can make a difference! ”可知，与许多其他形式的污染不同，光污染是可逆的，我们
每个人都可以做出改变，由此可推断作者对光污染控制的态度是积极乐观的，故选D。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“ Light pollution, the extreme or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial light, is affecting
human health and wildlife behavior. There is a global movement to reduce light pollution, and everyone can help.”
及全文的介绍可知，文章介绍了人造光对人类和动物的危害，呼吁我们要行动起来，减少光污染，故选

Dancing Lions
This time of year, you might see lions dancing in the street as drums beat heavily. These aren’t real lions.
They’re dancers in colorful clothes, celebrating a centuries-old tradition in China. People perform lion dances
because they hope to bring good luck in the coming year. In many Asian countries, the new year is celebrated with
the new moon that take places in late January or early February.
Usually, a lion is made up of two dancers. One dancer controls the head, the other controls the tail. There are
many different kinds of lion dances. The most wonderful moment might be jumping on high poles. “I think of it as
第12页/共17页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司a sport,” says Anthony Huang, 15, a dancer at New York City’s Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club. Anthony has
performed as the lion’s tail, but this is his first year controlling the head, which can weigh 20 pounds. The
challenges are co-working with the other members in the group and following the music with the heavy head. It’s
important for Anthony to pass on this historical dance form.
“I feel like this tradition really represents me,” he says.
Lion dances were once performed mostly by males. These days, the activity has become more inclusive (包容
广阔的).
LionDanceMe is a group in San Francisco, California. On its dance teams, boys and girls work together.
Sixteen-year-old Ananda Tang-Lee is a member. She used to see boys performing the lion dancing when she was
little. She says, “But anyone can take it up. You have to believe in yourself, and have confidence that you can do
it.”
During the COVID-19 pandemic (新冠肺炎疫情), LionDanceMe didn’t give up performing. Instead, the
group showed its performances online. This has got the dance group even more excited to perform in person again,
when it’s safe.
“It’s a different performance in real life,” says Isabella Yu, 16, who plays drums, “We bring a lot more than
just the performance. We bring energy and excitement, too.”
Lion dancing will likely continue to develop gradually. But one thing that will never change is the sense of
community among team members. “It’s really great, because we always have each other’s backs.” Ananda says,
