(2017·镇江市高三模拟考试)The habitforming process
within our brains is a
threestep loop (回路).
First, there is a cue, a trigger that tells your
brain to
go into automatic mode (模式) 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 — cues, routines, rewards — becomes more and
more
automatic. The cue and reward become
intertwined (交织) until a powerful sense of
anticipation and a desire appear. Eventually,
a habit is born.
Habits aren't destiny. Habits
can be ignored, changed, or replaced. But the
reason the discovery of the habit loop is so
important is that it reveals a basic
truth:
When a habit appears, the brain stops fully
participating in
decisionmaking. It stops
working so hard, or shifts focus to other tasks.
So unless
you deliberately fight a habit —
unless you find new routines — the pattern will
unfold automatically.
Habits never really
disappear. They're encoded (把……编码) into the
structures
of our brain, and that's 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
can't
tell the difference between bad and good habits,
and so if you have a bad one,
it's always
lurking (蛰伏) there, waiting for the right cues and
rewards.
This explains why it's 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
patterns always 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 demonstrated, going for
a jog or ignoring the
1
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
brain's dependence on automatic
routines can
be dangerous. Habits are often as much a curse as
a benefit.
语篇解读:本文是科普说明文。文章主要介绍了习惯是如何形成的。

the first two paragraphs?
A.It helps your
brain understand what is worth remembering.
B.It is a threestep loop consisting of a cue,
a routine and a reward.
C.It 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.
解析:选B
细节理解题。根据前两段的内容,尤其是第一段中的“The habitforming
process within our brains is a threestep
loop(回路).First,there is a cue ... Then
there
is the routine ... Finally, there is a
reward”可知,习惯形成的过程是一个
三步走的回路,分别是:提示、惯例和奖励。故选B项。
2.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 don't necessarily
learn a skill again
D.we can distinguish
between bad and good habits
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段前
两句可知,从未真正消失的习惯会被编入我们

(2017·苏北四市高三期末联考)In creating A.'s
ordinaryyetextraordinary life, the author
Gabrielle Zevin has thrown every cliché
(老生常谈)
into the mix. The hero, A., lost his beloved wife
Nic in a road
accident. The sales of his
bookstore have been decreasing. The
enthusiastic
new sales representative Amelia
won't stop annoying him with new books. His rare
and very valuable first edition has gone
missing. But the unexpected arrival of Maya
left in his care brings about a series of
events with love and hope to his life.
There
are few real surprises in the plot and attentive
readers will be able to
tell where the story
is headed. But that is not the point; the elichés
and the
predictable plot take nothing away
from Zevin's work
The
Storied
Life
of
A
.
J
.
Fikry
because it's how she
tells the story that first charms the readers,
then holds their
attention, making them read
the whole book in a single sitting and finally
give the
book a long hug when they are
finished. This book is a love letter to the joys
of
reading.
Each chapter begins with the
title of a short story or a book and a note from
A. describing what he likes about it,
essentially introducing each character
by what
they read. The characters are so realistic that
it's hard not to fall in
love with all of
them: Maya, “the fantastic bookworm”, Amelia, “the
giantess”
with questionable taste in fashion,
Lambiase, the adorable police chief, and
A.,
the reluctant hero who hates electronic reading
devices that will “send
centuries of a lively
culture into what will surely be a rapid decline”.
The passage of time race issues and the
bureaucratic argument of children's
services
are all put aside in the telling of this story,
not because there's anything
to hide or
because reality is not allowed to interfere, but
because the author chooses
to focus on the
important stuff. For example, it focuses on
Lambiase who organizes
a reading club for
policemen at the bookstore. His original intention
is to help
promote business, but over the
years he becomes a genuine booklover, one who
tends
to always have simple advice for his
cynical (愤世嫉俗的) friend, A.. “Bad
timing,”
Lambiase claims. “I've been a police officer for
twenty years now and
I'll tell you pretty much
every bad thing in life is a result of bad timing,
and
3
every good thing is the
result of good timing.”
More than anything
else, this novel is not only about the selling of
them or
the reading of them, but how books and
stories become part of our lives, how we find
ourselves within what we read and how we carry
books with us. It is also about the
power of
unexpected happiness and always believing that
something wonderful is just
around the corner.
The
Late
Bloomer
is the
book within a book which brings together
A.
and Amelia. It reminds them that life doesn't
follow a set script, things
happen when they
are meant to happen, and there is no such thing as
“too late”
for anything. Life is the big
picture. Always look at the big picture. Enjoy it.
Don't get too concentrated on the details,
because it will all be over before you
know
it. In the long run nobody, not even you, will
remember the ordinary details
because they
are, in the end, quite irrelevant.
A.'s final
words of wisdom to teenaged Maya convey the same
feelings
in literary terms: “We are not quite
novels. We are not quite short stories. In
the
end, we_are_collected_works. We have read enough
to know there are no collections
where each
story is perfect. Some of us hit. Some miss.”

(2017·徐州市高三考前信息卷)The splendid aurora light
displays that appear in
Earth's atmosphere
around the north and south magnetic (磁的) poles
were once
mysterious phenomena. Now,
scientists have data from satellites and
groundbased
observations from which we know
that the aurora brilliance is a massive electrical
discharge similar to that occurring in a neon
sign.
To understand the cause of auroras,
first picture the Earth
enclosed by its
magnetosphere (磁层), a huge region created by
5
the Earth's magnetic field.
Outside the magnetosphere, rushing toward the
earth
is the solar wind, a speedily moving
body of ionized (离子化的) gases with its own
magnetic field. Charged particles (粒子) in
this solar wind speed earthward along
the
solar wind's magnetic lines of force. The Earth's
magnetosphere is a barrier
to the solar winds,
and forces the charged particles of the solar wind
to flow around
the magnetosphere itself. But
in the polar regions, the magnetic lines of force
of the Earth and of the solar wind gather
together. Here many of the solar wind's
charged particles break through the
magnetosphere and enter Earth's magnetic field.
They then rush back and forth between the
Earth's magnetic poles very rapidly and
ionize
and excite the atoms of the upper atmosphere of
the Earth, causing them to
produce aurora
radiations of visible light.
The colors of an
aurora depend on the atoms producing them. The
leading greenish
white light comes from low
energy excitation of oxygen atoms. During huge
magnetic
storms oxygen atoms also undergo high
energy excitation and produce pink light.
Excited nitrogen (氮) atoms contribute bands of
color varying from blue to violet.
Viewed
from outer space, auroras can be seen as dimly
shining belts wrapped around
each of the
Earth's magnetic poles. Each aurora hangs like a
curtain of light
stretching over the polar
regions and into the higher latitudes. When the
solar
flares (闪光) that result in magnetic
storms and aurora activity are very strong,
aurora displays may extend as far as the
southern regions of the United States.
语篇解读:本

了极地光产生的原因以及在不同
条件下的长度。
is it that directly gives off aurora
light?
A.The Earth's magnetic field.
B.The
solar wind's magnetic field.
C.The Earth's
ionized particles.
D.The solar wind's charged
particles.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“They then
rush back and forth ...
produce aurora
radiations of visible light.”可确定答案。
★ does the
third paragraph mainly discuss?
A.The
appearance of auroras around the Earth's poles.
B.The periodic change in the display of
auroras.
C.The factors that cause the variety
of colors in auroras.
D.The covering area of
auroras based on their colors.

解析:选A 段落大意题。根据第三段首句极光的颜色取决于产生它们的原子,紧接着<
br>解释:氧原子和氮原子产生不同的光;最后说极光的外表,这和A项(地球两极的极光的外
表)是
一致的。
13.What can we infer from the passage?
A.The magnetosphere increases the speed of
particles from the solar wind.
B.The color of
greenish white appears least frequently in an
aurora display.
C.Earth's magnetic field
contributes to the variety and difference of
aurora's
colors.
D.The strength of the
solar flares has a positive effect on the
extending
distance of aurora.
解析:选D 推理判断题
。根据文章最后一句可知,极光的延伸长度取决于太阳闪光导
致的磁极风暴和极光的强度。这和D选项一
致。
