高三英语试卷 第 2 页 共 11 页
A quick increase of dopamine (多巴胺) shifts mice into a dreamy stage of sleep. In the mice’s brains, the
chemical messenger triggers rapid-eye-movement sleep, or REM, researchers report in the March 4 Science.
These new results are some of the first to show a trigger for the shifts. Understanding these transitions in
more detail could ultimately point to ways to treat sleep disorders in people.
Certain nerve cells in the ventral tegmental area of the mouse brain can pump out dopamine, a molecule
that has been linked to pleasure, movement and learning, which is then delivered dopamine to the amygdalae,
two almond-shaped structures deep in the brain that are closely tied to emotions.
Using a molecular sensor that can tell exactly when and where dopamine is released, the researchers saw
that dopamine levels rose in the amygdalae just before mice shifted from non-REM sleep to REM sleep.
Next, the researchers forced the mice into the REM phase by controlling those dopamine-producing
nerve cells using lasers and genetic techniques. Compelled with light, the nerve cells released dopamine in
the amygdalae while mice were in non-REM sleep. The mice then shifted into REM sleep sooner than they
typically did, after an average of about two minutes compared with about eight minutes for mice that weren’t
prompted to release dopamine. Stimulating these cells every half hour increased the mice’s total amount of
REM sleep.
Additional experiments suggest that these dopamine-making nerve cells may also be involved in aspects
of narcolepsy (嗜睡症). A sudden loss of muscle tone, called cataplexy, shares features with REM sleep and
can accompany narcolepsy. Stimulating these dopamine-making nerve cells while mice were awake caused
the mice to stop moving and fall directly into REM sleep.
The results help clarify a trigger for REM in mice; whether a similar thing happens in people isn’t
known. Earlier studies have found that nerve cells in people’s amygdalae are active during REM sleep.
Many questions remain. Drugs that change dopamine levels in people don’t seem to have big effects on
REM sleep and cataplexy. But these drugs affect the whole brain, and it’s possible that they are just not
selective enough.
21．What can we learn from this passage?
A．People with sleep disorders could benefit from the research.
B．Dopamine is generated in two almond-shaped structures.
C．Dopamine levels rose after mice shifted to REM sleep.
D．An increase of dopamine can trigger REM in people.
22．The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A．the entire brain
B．REM sleep and cataplexy
C．drugs affecting dopamine levels
D．people suffering from sleep disorders
23．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce two stages of sleep of all animals.
B．To explain dopamine as a trigger for REM in mice.
C．To present a new way to cure sleep disorders in people.
D．To propose a pioneer research interest in brain structure.

Paul Durietz is a 76-year-old social studies teacher from Illinois. On September 1, he set a Guinness
World Record for the world’s longest teaching career. He has been teaching for 53 years-since he was 23
years old.
Mr. Durietz became interested in history after hearing stories from his father. He made up his mind about
高三英语试卷 第 3 页 共 11 页
becoming a social studies teacher when he was just 11 years old, mainly because of his love of history.
Mr. Durietz got his first teaching job at Woodland Middle School in Gurnee, Illinois in 1970. Ever since
then, he’s been teaching social studies at the same school. For him, teaching is never boring because every
day is different. He loves sharing his knowledge of history with students.
Things have changed a lot since he began all those years ago. When he started, he wrote on a blackboard
with chalk, and the students used paper textbooks. These days, he and the students use computers and digital
whiteboards.
Though technology has changed a lot, in Mr. Durietz’s eyes, the students are still pretty much the
same-except that now they have cell phones.
And with or without technology, Mr. Durietz has used creative activities to help his students learn. For
example, he has organized virtual field trips, geography contests, and special days about the US Civil War.
To help his students learn about politics, he has even organized mock (模拟的) elections at school, which his
students enjoyed most.
For much of his 53 years as a teacher, Mr. Durietz has been in charge of the social studies program at
Woodland. In that time, he has helped to guide over 20 other social studies teachers at the school. To his
extreme pride, he has even had students come back and tell him that they became history teachers because of
him.
Mr. Durietz wasn’t really trying to set a record. He was just doing what he loved. He has no plans to
retire any time soon. He hopes to break his own record. He also hopes to set another record as the teacher
who’s worked the longest at the same school.
“Keep working on what you love to do in life,” he always says.
24．Mr. Durietz received an award from Guinness for ______.
A．being the oldest teacher in Illinois
B．being the best social studies teacher
C．having the longest years of teaching
D．working 53 years at the same school
25．What has made Mr. Durietz most proud of his work?
A．Sharing his knowledge of history.
B．Students enjoying the mock elections.
C．Guiding over 20 other teachers at Woodland.
D．Students following his example to be teachers.
26．According to the passage, which word can best describe Mr. Durietz?
A．Passionate. B．Generous. C．Ambitious. D．Confident.
27．What can we conclude from this passage?
A．One is never too old to learn.
B．Be famous as young as possible.
C．You have got to like what you do.
D．When work is a pleasure, life is joy.

Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel. And he surely deserves additional
praise: the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.
I say clever because anti-slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before
the Civil War. H. B．Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin is only the most famous example. These early stories dealt
directly with slavery. With minor exceptions, Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales
高三英语试卷 第 4 页 共 11 页
that were on the surface about something else entirely. He drew his readers into the argument by drawing
them into the story.
Again and again, in the postwar years, Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race. Consider
the most controversial, at least today, of Twain’s novels, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Only a few books
have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn, Twain’s most widely read tale. Once upon a
time, people hated the book because it struck them as rude. Twain himself wrote that those who banned the
book considered the novel “trash and suitable only for the slums (贫民窟).” More recently the book has been
attacked because of the character Jim, the escaped slave, and many occurrences of the word nigger. (The term
Nigger Jim, for which the novel is often severely criticized, never appears in it. )
But the attacks were and are silly — and miss the point. The novel is strongly anti-slavery. Jim’s search
through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic. As J. Chadwick has
pointed out, the character of Jim was a first in American fiction — a recognition that the slave had two
personalities, “the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual: Jim, the
father and the man.”
There is much more. Twain’s mystery novel Pudd’nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs
of even many of the liberals of his day. Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be
inferior (低等的) to whites, especially in intelligence, Twain’s tale centered in part around two babies
switched at birth. A slave gave birth to her master’s baby and, for fear that the child should be sold South,
switched him for the master’s baby by his wife. The slave’s light-skinned child was taken to be white and
grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slave-holding class. The master’s wife’s baby was
taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.
The point was difficult to miss: nurture (养育), not nature, was the key to social status. The features of
the black man that provided the stuff of prejudice — manner of speech, for example — were, to Twain,
indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.
Twain’s racial tone was not perfect. One is left uneasy, for example, by the lengthy passage in his
autobiography about how much he loved what were called “nigger shows” in his youth — mostly with white
men performing in black-face — and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them. Yet there is no reason
to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality. His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest
his keen awareness that they did not.
Was Twain a racist? Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln. If
we read the words and attitudes of the past through the “wisdom” of the considered moral judgments of the
present, we will find nothing but error. Lincoln, who believed the black man the inferior of the white, fought
and won a war to free him. And Twain, raised in a slave state, briefly a soldier, and inventor of Jim, may have
done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other
novelist in the past century.
28．How do Twain’s novels on slavery differ from Stowe’s?
A．Twain was more willing to deal with racism.
B．Twain was openly concerned with racism.
C．Twain’s themes seemed to agree with the plots.
D．Twain’s attack on racism was much less open.
29．What best proves Twain’s anti-slavery stand according to the author?
A．Jim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture.
B．The slave’s voice was first heard in American novels.
C．Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent.
高三英语试卷 第 5 页 共 11 页
D．Jim’s search for his family was described in detail.
30．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to?
A．The attacks. B．The shows. C．White men. D．Slavery and prejudice.
31．What does the author mainly argue for?
A．Twain’s works had been banned on unreasonable grounds.
B．Twain’s works should be read from a historical point of view.
C．Twain was an admirable figure comparable to Abraham Lincoln.
D．Twain had done more than his contemporary writers to attack racism.

A good gift is one that is more valuable for the receiver than it is for the giver. But most gifts destroy
value rather than create it. Think of the Christmas-tree-shaped cookie jar that cost your aunt $89 but is
worthless than zero to you, posing a difficult question: Do you throw it right into the bin or wait a couple of
months? The economist Joel Waldfogel calls this discrepancy (差异) the “dead weight loss” of gifts, and
estimates that, on average, it is from 10 percent to a third of a gift’s price.
One explanation for the dead weightloss is a mismatch between desirablity and feasibility(可行性).
Consider a gadget that is useful(high desirability) but difficult to set up and time-consuming to use(low
feasibility). Researchers have found that givers usually focus on desirability, and receivers are more aware of
feasibility. Your friend who bought you a fancy wearable fitness tracker probably thought it was a really cool
and helpful gift; to you, it seems like a major headache to figure out, requires an app download and a monthly
cost, and offers data that will very likely make you feel terrible about yourself. That’s why it is still sitting in
your drawer in its original package.
Another happiness-killing mismatch can be between the receiver’s first reaction (反应) and their
long-term satisfaction. As Anna Goldfarb noted in The Atlantic a few weeks ago, givers tend to look for
“reaction-maximizing (最大化) gifts” (such as the wife’s over-the-top reaction to the car) as opposed to
“satisfaction-maximizing gifts.” Once the giver is not present to see the receiver’s reaction, the receiver might
not actually be that excited about socks with her best friend’s face on them.
Someone looking for a big reaction might want to buy a wildly expensive gift, which causes its own
emotional problems. In the worst cases, they may even be trying to control you, or trick you into doing them
a favor later. Either way, receiving a gift that’s too nice might make you feel guilty (愧疚的). According to
one 2019 survey from Compare Cards, 46 percent of respondents felt guilty for being unable to give a gift
worth as much as the one they received.
In truth, the biggest benefit to most gift giving is to the giver herself. Generosity is truly away to buy
happiness. As my colleague Michael Norton and his co-authors showed in the journal Science in 2008,
although spending money on oneself is weakly related to happiness, spending money on others significantly
raises the giver’s well-being (幸福). Neuroscientists have shown that charitable giving to others provides
pleasure in one of the same ways that alcohol and certain drugs do. (Maybe this is the real reason Santa is so
joyful.)
32．What does “deadweight loss” of gifts in paragraph 1 refer to?
A．The value the gift creates rather than destroys.
B．The money the giver spends on a meaningful gift
C．The good-will and thoughtfulness of the gift giver.
D．The loss of the gift value in the eyes of the receiver.
33．How would the receiver describe the “fancy wearable fitness tracker” as a gift?
A．Fashionable and practical B．Inexpensive and worthless.
高三英语试卷 第 6 页 共 11 页
C．Desirable and satisfactory. D．Unfriendly and troublesome.
34．When might the receiver give the over-the-top reaction?
A．When the receiver gets something wildly expensive.
B．When the giver gives something he himself truly likes.
C．When the giver is present to see the receiver’s reaction.
D．When the receiver gets socks with the best friend’s face on them.
35．What can we learn from the text?
A．Presents are generally terrible.
B．It is in giving that givers receive.
C．Gift-giving is in most case saw in-win situation.
D．The greatest gift you can give is your time and attention.

Encourage Your Teens to Play More
Parents are generally aware of the importance of play for younger kids. But when kids hit the teen stage,
it can be confusing to know what play looks like because kids of this age don’t engage in“play“the way
younger kids do. Obviously, play changes as kids grow. And parents begin to wonder whether they should
continue to encourage their teens to play. 36
Playfulness doesn’t go away in childhood; creativity is just as important in adolescence. Adolescence is
a time of rapid brain development and self-inquiry — a stage where people can figure out who they are and
where the opportunity to stretch in different directions really builds intelligence. 37 Furthermore, play
allows people to mess up and recover and learn how to do better next time.
38 A 2011 article in the American Journal of Play evaluated the decline of play and the rise of
mental health issues in adolescents. It noted that as play declined, instances of depression, anxiety, and
suicide increased. Research found that play can have a positive impact on kids’mental health by helping them
to learn to make decisions, solve problems, exhibit self-control, and follow rules.
How to Encourage Play in Teens? Teens feel the tension of being pulled toward adulthood while also
wanting to regress (退回) toward childhood. 39 So, one thing adults can do is model vulnerability (脆
弱)and playfulness. When parents are willing to engage with teens in play, it can go a long way in
encouraging them. 40 There are so many kids who are highly scheduled with lots of activities, and often
what kids really need is a little downtime.
A．Mental health is another benefit of play for teens.
B．When engaged in play, teens typically feel joyful.
C．In the end, play will look different from teen to teen.
D．Sometimes it’s like they need permission to be silly again.
E．In addition, parents can offer up raw materials and the time and space to use them.
F．During this period, play can help teens grow and discover things about themselves.
G．Actually, people of all ages benefit from play, including and especially teenagers.

My photographs are the items I would definitely take or guard in case of an emergency. But what else?
This was the question I asked myself as a 41 came toward us.
Unlike some friends and 42 , we decided to stay in our home. We didn’t have to choose what we
高三英语试卷 第 7 页 共 11 页
would save by 43 it into the car, but we still had to decide what required protection by storing it in
our walk-in closet. Surprisingly, few items made the cut - an obvious 44 that we had surrounded
ourselves with beautiful yet unessential items. We needed 45 for the truly important things:
ourselves.
Because when you hear the roar of the winds, or when something 46 hard against your
windows, you don’t think of photos.You don’t worry about your big screen TV, or those paintings you’ve
covered with towels to protect them, or that 47 car that you still haven’t finished paying for.
As 48 goes on outside, this is what you think: My children, are they OK? Are their
impact-resistant(耐冲击的) windows working 49 ? Are their roofs keeping out the damage? My
grandchildren, are they crying out in fear? Are they 50 as their own grandparents are? My relatives
— yes, even those I try to avoid — have they 51 the worst of it? My friends, will they be forced to
move somewhere else permanently? You don’t think about what you own but about what you love; what
money can’t buy back.
Months and years after the hurricane, I often told people that there are two parts to 52 this kind
of catastrophe: the horror of the hurricane itself and then the rebuilding that follows. The 53 together
of a life, however, will take months, perhaps years.
But we will do it, 54 and as a community. Of that I have no doubt. In fact, I’ll make one more
prediction. Piece by piece, item by item, we will once again collect the material possessions that decorate a
home. I hate to admit this, but lessons learned 55 fear aren’t always long-lasting.

Are you afraid of getting old? 56 we get past the age of 25, many of us immediately feel the urge
to stop the signs of ageing — especially the visible ones. Men and women are now using topical
“anti-ageing” creams, spa treatments and medical procedures 57 (oppose) many of them.
58 these methods can somewhat affect the way you look, ageing is an internal process. A new
study has found exactly when during your lifetime this process peaks.
A group scientists based out of the Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered that 59
being a smooth, continuous process, ageing surges forward at three distinct stages of life: first, at the age of
34, then at age 60, and finally at 78.
高三英语试卷 第 8 页 共 11 页
The study, published in Nature Medicine, 60 (reveal) that scientists can not only predict your age
by studying the proteome (protein levels in the blood) but also determine which organs are ageing faster than
the others, and which age-related diseases your body is 61 (likely) to develop. The study measured
plasma proteins (血浆蛋白) collected from 4,263 adults between the ages of 18-95 years and studied the
changes in the proteome that occurred with age.
Their ultimate goal was to understand how to identify the changes associated with cardiovascular issues
and age-related discases like Alzheimer’s 62 therapeutic treatments can be devised to oppose their
attack while there’s still time.
Dr Tony Wyss-Coray, one of the leading members of the study, told Stanford Medicine News Center,
“We’ve known for a long time that 63 (measure) certain proteins can give you information about a
person’s health status — lipoproteins (脂蛋白) for cardiovascular (心血管的) health, for example. But it
hasn’t been appreciated that so many different proteins’ levels — roughly a third of all the ones we looked at
— change markedly with advancing age.”
This difference between the chronological (按时间计算的) and physiological (生理的) age, according
to the scientists’ “plasma-protein clock”, showed that a lot of people in the study seemed younger than they
actually are. What’s more, the study also confirmed that men and women, though equally 64
(represent) in the study, age differently.
Does this mean medicafions and lifestyle methods, with further research, can also be devised to help
65 ages too rapidly and is at risk of contracting age-related diseases like hypertension and Alzheimer’s?

Blessing and a curse
The popularity of AI-assisted academic writing has triggered a series of debates among experts,
particularly college teachers. Currently, several Chinese higher education institutions have made their own
stipulations (规定) regarding the matter. But people are still unable to agree on whether using AI-assisted
writing is a novel research method or an act of academic dishonesty.
Some experts consider AI writing as just another handy tool brought by the advancement of technology.
Yang Zhiping, a professor at Northeast Normal University, summarized his experience using AI writing,
saying that conversations with an AI model fed with enough material helped him clarify his research
approaches.
“It’s like exchanging views with an expert who is extremely knowledgeable,” said Yang. “The collision
of thoughts can be helpful in developing new academic ideas.”
However, some college teachers argue that the convenience of AI-assisted writing can cause students to
become dependent on it when conducting academic research, which will lead to the deterioration of the
academic atmosphere.
On this matter, Fu Weidong, a professor at Central China Normal University, said that any AI-generated
thesis should be reviewed in accordance with existing academic standards as well.
According to Fu, AI writing is a technology based on collecting and processing existing knowledge, and
高三英语试卷 第 9 页 共 11 页
therefore can’t avoid repeating the thoughts or even exact texts from existing academic works.
“Once the repetition exceeds the allowed level, it should be considered plagiarism (抄袭),” Fu said.

When something that’s important to you disappears, don’t be hopeless. It may miraculously (奇迹般地)
come back sooner or later. I learned it on one winter day.
It was one of those busy days. Especially, I had lots of clothes to wash. and Karen, my four-year-old kid,
kept following me, pulling my shirt and crying for attention. I was annoyed. To stop her troubling me and
make her quiet, I searched the drawers in the bedroom and found-a bag of forgotten balloons. “Yellow,” she
said with joy.
The balloons were the gifts for her that her uncle had bought abroad. These balloons were of good
quality and very unique, unable to be found at least in our small town. Among the balloons, the yellow one
was Karen’s favorite. And there was only one yellow balloon. She viewed it as her best friend and even
signed her name on its surface.
After I blew the balloon up, she cheerfully took it with tiny fingers, touching it and telling it her secrets.
Immediately. her attention was attracted.
After lunch. we prepared to go to the local public clothes-washing shop. Before long. I was ready.
Carrying her yellow balloon. Karen followed me into oat car. On the way, she was singing and had fun with
the balloon. She kept beating the balloon against the back of the car seat. As I turned the corner, trying to
