（2017·全国·高考真题）Julie boergers, Ph．D a sleep expert from the Bradley Hasbro Children's Research
Center, recently led a study connecting later school start times to improved sleep and mood in teens．
"Sleep deprivation is common among teenagers, with potentially serious impacts on mental and physical
health, safety and learning.Early high school start times contribute to this problem，"said Boergers."In this study,
we looked at whether a delay in school start time would change students' sleep patterns, sleepiness, mood and
caffeine(咖啡因)use."
Beorgers' team conducted the School Sleep Habits survey among boarding students attending an independent
high school both before and after their school start time was experimentally delayed from 8 to 8:25 a.m.during the
winter term.The delay in school start time led to a significant increase (29 minutes)in sleep duration on school
nights, with the percentage of students receiving eight or more hours of sleep on a school night jumping from 18 to
44 percent The research found that younger students and those sleeping less at the start of the study were most
likely to benefit from the timetable change.Daytime sleepiness, low mood and caffeine use were all significantly
reduced after the delay in school start time.The later school start time had no effect on the number of hours students
spent doing homework, playing sports or taking part in activities outside class. And once the earlier start time
changed back during the spring term, teens reverted(恢复)back to their original levels.
Beorgers said that these findings are important for public policy."The result of this study add to a growing
body of research showing important health benefits of later school start times for adolescents, " she said, " and we
have students who are more alert(机敏的), happier, better prepared to learn, and aren't dependent on caffeine and
energy drinks just to stay awake in class."

（2013·四川·高考真题）Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a
link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.
Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts
are contracting(收缩) and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point when the heartbeat is
relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful
event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.
Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said: “Our Study shows for the first time that the way
in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”
The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr
Garfinkel said, “The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is
relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don’t see一and guide whether we see fear.”
To further understand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner(扫描仪) to show how the brain
influences the way the heart changes a person’s feeling of fear.
“We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings
and reduce fear,” Dr Garfinkel said.
“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we
may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders, and also for those who may be suffering
from serious stress disorder.”
5．What is the finding of the study?
A．One’s heart affects how he feels fear.
B．Fear is a result of one’s relaxed heartbeat.
C．Fear has something to do with one’s health.
D．One’s fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.
6．The study was carried out by analyzing .
A．volunteers’ heartbeats when they saw terrible pictures
B．the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditions
C．volunteers’ reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scansD．different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart—brain communication
7．Which of the following is closest in meaning to “mechanism” in Paragraph 6?
A．Order. B．System.
C．Machine. D．Treatment.
8．This study may contribute to .
A．treating anxiety and stress better.
B．explaining the cycle of fear and anxiety
C．finding the key to the heart-brain communication
D．understanding different fears in our hearts and heads
【语篇解读】本文属于科普文，介绍了心脏与恐惧的关系。通过两次试验，研究者发现这两者之间的关系，
同时借助这一发现，研究者希望能够减轻或者治疗恐惧和压力所带来的诸多问题。
5．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“ Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a
sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收缩) and pumping blood around their bodies,
compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed.”对健康志愿者的测试发现，与心跳放松时相比，他们在
心脏收缩并向身体周围泵血的时刻更容易感到恐惧。由此可知，一个人的心脏影响他对恐惧的感觉。故选
A项。
6．C【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一句“The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions
to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces.”这项研究测试了20名健康的志愿者，当他们看到恐惧的
脸时，他们对恐惧的反应。以及第五段第一句“To further understand this relationship, the scientists also used
a brain scanner(扫描仪) to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person's feeling of fear.”为
了进一步了解这种关系，科学家们还使用了脑部扫描仪来显示大脑是如何影响心脏改变人的恐惧感的。由
此可知，这项研究是通过分析志愿者对可怕图片和大脑扫描数据的反应来进行的。故选C项。
7．B【解析】词句猜测题。从后面的句子：by which the heart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our
feelings and reduce fear,"可知通过这个机制，心脏和大脑可以相互‘说话’来改变我们的感受，减少恐惧。
所以划线词的意思是“机制”的意思。故选B项。
8．A【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear
is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety
disorders, and also for those for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”可知，我们希望，通过
增加我们对如何处理恐惧以及如何减少恐惧的理解，我们也许能够开发出更成功的治疗焦虑症的方法，同
时也为那些可能患有严重压力障碍的人开发出更成功的治疗方法。由此判断出这个研究可以有助于更好的
治疗焦虑和压力。故选A项。C
（2013·山东·高考真题）Sparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to
which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the
chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow
menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it
required.
Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market
share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely
positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from them.
Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.
Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain’s owner now favored rebranding
Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince
customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a
company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to
success, rather than customers’ speeding power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.
The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrow
focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the
superiority of a specific product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.
Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For
example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (营业
额) .
These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions
where it operated.
9．Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?
A．The number of its customers was declining
B．Its customers found the food unhealthy
C．It was in need of financial support
D．Most of its restaurants were closed
10．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Customers of Sparrow restaurants B．Sparrow restaurants
C．Customers of other fast-food chains D．other fast-food chains11．For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?
A．To build a good relationship with the public
B．To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow
C．To lean about customers’ spending power.
D．To meet the challenge from Marcy’s restaurants.
12．The TV ads of Sparrow ________ .
A．changed people’s views on pop stars
B．amused the public with original songs
C．focused on the superiority of its products
D．influenced the eating habits of the audience
13．What was Pearson’s achievement as a CEO?
A．He managed to pay off Sparrow’s debts.
B．He made Sparrow much more competitive
C．He helped Sparrow take over a company
D．He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees
【语篇解读】本文为一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Sparrow快餐店的CEO Carl Pearson在Sparrow经营不善的情
况下，采用了一种新的广告宣传方式，与顾客之间建立了一种积极的关系，吸引了潜在的顾客，使它最终
成为了最著名的快餐连锁店之一。本文旨在告诉读者新颖的经营理念决定着企业的命运。
9．C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的第三句“Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining...”可知
Sparrow的业绩并没下降，因此选项A“它的顾客数目在下降”是错误的；“它的顾客发现食物不健康”以
及“它的大部分餐馆被关闭”在文中并未提及；而根据第一段最后一句“its new owner had no plans to give
it the funds it required.(它的新主人没有计划给它所需的资金)”可知Sparrow需要财政支持，故选C项。
10．D【解析】词义猜测题。画线单词them前面提到" He did a survey, which showed that consumers who
already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain. while customers of other fast-food
chains were unwilling to turn away from them.(他做了一项调查，表明已经使用过麻雀餐厅的消费者对这家连
锁店抱有积极的态度，而其他快餐连锁店的顾客则不愿意离开它们)"可知，Sparrow已有的顾客对连锁店抱
着积极的态度，而其他快餐店的顾客不愿意离开别的快餐店，由此可知them指代的是“其他的快餐连锁
店”，故选D项。
11．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a
company and the general public was unusual for that time.”可知Pearson发动广告宣传的目的是为了与公众建立
一种良好的关系。句中的positive与选项A中的good对应，故选A项。12．B【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured
original songs performed by a variety of stars.”可知广告是靠新颖的原创歌曲来吸引人的，故选项B为答案。
第四段中的第一句指的是改变了传统的广告模式，而不是改变了人们对流行明星的看法，因此选项A是错
误的；根据第四段的最后一句“Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product...”可知选项C“注重产
品的优势”是错误的；选项D“影响了观众的饮食习惯”在文中未提及。故选B项。
13．推理判断题。根据最后两段中的内容，Pearson又作出了其他决定，树立了Sparrow的新形象，他的努
力获得了成功，Sparrow成了最成功的快餐连锁店之一，可知Pearson的成就是使Sparrow更有竞争力了，
故答案为B。选项A“他设法还清了Sparrow的债务”，选项C“他帮助Sparrow接管了一家公司”以及选项
D“他提高了Sparrow员工的福利”在文中均未提及。故选B项。

（2015·全国·高考真题）My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little
over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t
fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper
advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got
it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels
showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.
Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when
certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began
to appear during a show, and to get rid of it. I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes
this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to
build up my arm muscles (肌肉) shaking my set.
When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go
away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop
cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.

（2020·海南·高考真题）The end of the school year was in sight and spirits were high. I was back teaching
after an absence of 15 years, dealing with the various kinds of "forbidden fruit" that come out of book bags. Now
was the spring of the water pistol.
I decided to think up a method of dealing with forbidden fruit.
"Please bring that pistol to me," I said. "I'm going to put it in my Grandma's Box."
"What's that?" they asked.
"It's a large wooden chest full of toys for my grandchildren," I replied,
"You don't have grandchildren," someone said.
"I don't now." I replied. "But someday I will. When I do, my box will be full of wonderful things for them."
My imaginary Grandma's Box worked like magic that spring, and later. Sometimes. students would ask me todescribe all the things I had in it. Then I would try to remember the different possessions I supposedly had taken
away—since I seldom actually kept them. Usually the offender would appear at the end of the day, and I would
return the belonging.
The-years went by, and my first grandchild Gordon was born. I shared my joy with that year's class. Then
someone said, "Now you can use your Grandma's Box." From then on instead of coming to ask their possessions
back, the students would say, "That's okay. Put it in your Grandma's Box for Gordon."
I loved talking about the imaginary box, not only with my students but also with my own children. They
enjoyed hearing about all the forbidden fruit I had collected. Then one Christmas I received a surprise gift—a large,
beautifully made wooden chest. My son Bruce had made my Grandma's Box a reality.
18．What was the author's purpose in having the conversation with the students?
A．To collect the water pistol. B．To talk about her grandchildren.
C．To recommend some toys. D．To explain her teaching method.
19．What do the underlined words "the offender" in paragraph 8 refer to?
A．The student's parent. B．The maker of the Grandma's Box.
C．The author's grandchild. D．The owner of the forbidden fruit.
20．What did the students do after they learned about the birth of Gordon?
A．They went to play with the baby. B．They asked to see the Grandma's Box.
C．They made a present for Gordon. D．They stopped asking their toys back.
21．What can we infer about the author?
A．She enjoys telling jokes. B．She is a strict and smart teacher.
C．She loves doing woodwork. D．She is a responsible grandmother
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲叙了作者为收集学生们带到学校的玩具，想出了一个“奶奶的
盒子”的办法。到后来，作者的第一个孙子出生，学生们也不再来要求归还他们的财物了，作者也在某一
年圣诞节收到了儿子制作的大木箱，将“奶奶的盒子”变成了现实。
18．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中“I was back teaching after an absence of 15 years, dealing with the
various kinds of "forbidden fruit" that come out of book bags. Now was the spring of the water pistol.(在缺席了15
年之后，我又回到了教书的地方，处理从书包里掏出的各种各样的“禁果”。现在流行的是水枪)”以及第
三段中“‘Please bring that pistol to me,’ I said. ‘I'm going to put it in my Grandma's Box.’(“请把那支水枪给
我，”我说。“我要把它放在我‘奶奶的盒子’里。”)”由此可知，作者与学生进行对话的目的是收集水
枪。故选A。
19．D【解析】词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“I would return the belonging”结合上文提到作者把学生带到学校的玩具称为“禁果”，且作者的“盒子”里装的就是“禁果”，所以作者等到这些禁果的拥有者在一
天结束的时候出现，然后就会归还他们的物品。由此可知，划线词意思为“禁果的拥有者”。故选D。
20．D【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“From then on instead of coming to ask their possessions
back, the students would say, ‘That's okay. Put it in your Grandma's Box for Gordon.’(从那时起，学生们不再来
要求归还他们的财物，而是说：“没关系。把它放在你“奶奶给戈登的盒子”里)”由此可知，学生们在得
知了戈登的出生后，他们不再索要玩具。故选D。
21．B【解析】推理判断题。根据文章中作者要收集学生们从书包里掏出的各种各样的“禁果”，说明作
者对待学生很严格；同时作者又想出了“奶奶的盒子”这个的方法来收集学生们的玩具，说明作者很聪明，
由此可推知，作者是一个严格而聪明的老师。故选B。

（2020·北京·高考真题）Certain forms of AI are indeed becoming ubiquitous. For example, algorithms (算
法) carry out huge volumes of trading on our financial markets, self-driving cars are appearing on city streets, and
our smartphones are translating from one language into another. These systems are sometimes faster and more
perceptive than we humans are. But so far that is only true for the specific tasks for which the systems have been
designed. That is something that some AI developers are now eager to change.
Some of today’s AI pioneers want to move on from today’s world of “weak” or “narrow” AI, to create “strong”
or “full” AI, or what is often called artificial general intelligence (AGI). In some respects, today’s powerful
computing machines already make our brains look weak. A GI could, its advocates say, work for us around the
clock, and drawing on all available data, could suggest solutions to many problems. DM, a company focused on the
development of AGI, has an ambition to “solve intelligence”. “If we’re successful,” their mission statement reads,
“we believe this will be one of the most important and widely beneficial scientific advances ever made.”
Since the early days of AI, imagination has outpaced what is possible or even probable. In 1965, an
imaginative mathematician called Irving Good predicted the eventual creation of an “ultra-intelligent machine…
that can far surpass all the intellectual (智力的) activities of any man, however clever.” Good went on to suggest
that “the first ultra-intelligent machine” could be “the last invention that man need ever make.”
Fears about the appearance of bad, powerful, man-made intelligent machines have been reinforced (强化) by
many works of fiction — Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and the Terminator film series, for example. But if AI does
eventually prove to be our downfall, it is unlikely to be at the hands of human-shaped forms like these, with
recognisably human motivations such as aggression (敌对行为). Instead, I agree with Oxford University
philosopher Nick Bostrom, who believes that the heaviest risks from A GI do not come from a decision to turnagainst mankind but rather from a dogged pursuit of set objectives at the expense of everything else.
The promise and danger of true A GI are great. But all of today’s excited discussion about these possibilities
presupposes the fact that we will be able to build these systems. And, having spoken to many of the world’s
foremost AI researchers, I believe there is good reason to doubt that we will see A GI any time soon, if ever.
22．What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph I probably mean?
A．Enormous in quantity. B．Changeable daily.
C．Stable in quality. D．Present everywhere.
23．What could AGI do for us, according to its supporters?
A．Help to tackle problems. B．Make brains more active.
C．Benefit ambitious people. D．Set up powerful databases.
24．As for Irving Good’s opinion on ultra-intelligent machines, the author is ____________.
A．supportive B．disapproving
C．fearful D．uncertain
25．What can be inferred about AGI from the passage?
A．It may be only a dream.
B．It will come into being soon.
C．It will be controlled by humans.
D．It may be more dangerous than ever.
【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。文章主要就通用人工智能(AGI)实现的可能性进行了论述。
22．D【解析】词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句后面的For example, algorithms (算法) carry out huge volumes
of trading on our financial markets, self-driving cars are appearing on city streets, and our smartphones are
translating from one language into another(例如，算法在我们的金融市场上进行大量交易，自动驾驶汽车出现
在城市街道上，我们的智能手机正在从一种语言翻译成另一种语言)可知，人工智能在我们生活中用处十分
广泛。由此推知，划线词所在句意为“某些形式的人工智能确实正在变得无处不在”，即划线词与D选项
“Present everywhere.(在任何地方存在)”意思接近。故选D项。
23．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段AGI could, its advocates say, work for us around the clock, and
drawing on all available data, could suggest solutions to many problems(AGI的倡导者说，AGI可以24小时为
我们工作，并利用所有可用的数据，可以提出许多问题的解决方案)可知，AGI(通用人工智能)的倡导者认
为，AGI(通用人工智能)可以提出许多问题的解决方案，帮助我们解决问题。因此，A选项“Help to tackle
problems(帮助解决问题)”符合题意。故选A项。
24．B【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段Since the early days of AI, imagination has outpaced what is possibleor even probable. In 1965, an imaginative mathematician called Irving Good predicted the eventual creation of an
“ultra-intelligent machine…that can far surpass all the intellectual (智力的) activities of any man, however
clever.”(自从人工智能的早期，想象力已经超过了可能。1965年，一位富有想象力的数学家欧文·古德预言，
最终将创造出一台“超智能机器……它将远远超过任何一个人的智力活动，无论他有多聪明。”)可知，作
者认为Irving Good对“超智能机器”的想象力超出了实现的可能，作者并不赞成他的观点，因此B项
“disapproving(不赞成)”符合题意。故选B项。
25．A 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一句And, having spoken to many of the world's foremost AI
researchers, I believe there is good reason to doubt that we will see A GI any time soon, if ever. (而且，在与世界
上许多顶尖的人工智能研究人员交谈后，我相信有充分的理由怀疑我们是否会很快看到AGI)可推断出，通
用人工智能（AGI）或许只是一个梦想，A选项“It may be only a dream(它也许仅仅是一个梦想)”符合题意。
故选择A项。
