治疗师

首页 > 试题列表 > 单题解析

213358. （2023•西安中学•高一下期中）     When did you have a really deep conversation where you felt truly heard？Connections of this kind are completely necessary for people but they are not always easy to find.That's why one woman decided to take listening to the streets.Her name is Traci Ruble，a therapist（治疗师） who is concerned that people today are experiencing loneliness and lack personal connections.She understands that with busy lives and demanding jobs，people are unable to make these connections.
   On a spring day in 2015，Ruble and a small number of volunteers set up chairs on sidewalks in 12 locations around San Francisco and invited people passing by to sit for a few minutes and chat.This was the beginning of the nonprofit Sidewalk Talk.The mission is to create public spaces of connections for people.Today，the organization has more than 4，000 volunteers in 40 cities.These volunteers come from a variety of backgrounds and receive training from the organization.
   Sidewalk Talk gives people a chance to speak and be listened to but it is not therapy."Volunteers are not communicating as a therapist out there.They're not there to solve someone's problems.They're there to practice being human，"Ruble said.According to Ruble，therapy is one-sided and therapists are taught to avoid self-disclosure（自我表露）but by"being human"volunteers could approach interactions with communication about their own life and by showing sympathy（同情） for the people they talk with.
   Today，an increasing number of people experience loneliness，according to a report from Harvard University.In fact，31 percent of all Americans feel serious loneliness including 61 percent of young adults.To deal with that，rebuilding community relationships is vitally important.While Sidewalk Talk will not solve the loneliness problem，these chats could help someone have a brighter day.Knowing that there are sympathetic people who are willing to fully listen and share people's feelings could make all the difference to a lonely person.

（1）What is the purpose of Sidewalk Talk？
A．To provide training for those volunteers.
B．To teach the passers-by how to communicate.
C．To offer public chances of personal conversations.
D．To help people reduce pressure at work.
（2）What is the difference between the volunteers of Sidewalk Talk and therapists？
A．Volunteers provide non-professional therapy.
B．Volunteers prefer one-sided communication.
C．Volunteers are good at showing their success.
D．Volunteers express their experiences and feelings.
（3）What can we infer about Sidewalk Talk from paragraph 4？
A．It makes people more sympathetic to others.
B．It offers a solution to the loneliness problem.
C．It plays a role in improving people's feelings.
D．It has promoted community relationships.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．A woman guiding others to lead an active life.

202406. （2021•西安中学•三模） Now，Amazon has opened a brick-and-mortar bookstore in downtown Bethesda，and I am not thrilled.One reason is that there is no cafe area.But the biggest reason I am profoundly disappointed is that the new Amazon store does not accept cash.I refuse to use a credit card to pay for small purchases，such as books.I prefer to use cash.
   Much has been written about the "unbanked" people who are too poor to afford a credit card or a debit card（借记卡）and who don't have a smartphone.No-cash policies are discriminatory against people of low income.In Massachusetts，it is illegal for retail establishments to discriminate against cash-paying customers.Several lawmakers in the district are thinking of adopting similar laws.
   I am not a person of low income.I do have a credit card，and I occasionally use it.But it is my choice，for lifestyle and money management reasons，to use my credit card only for large purchases.I have decided not to own or use a smartphone，which means that I cannot use apps to make purchases.
   For all their convenience，credit cards do come with problems.There are privacy concerns，because credit card purchases can be tracked.There are risks that those using credit cards may become victims of identity theft.And a cashless economy is dependent on functioning computers and uninterrupted power sources.Computers can be hacked，and power outages occur.In these circumstances，a cashless economy simply won't function.
   My decision not to patronize stores that discriminate against cash-paying customers means that the only bookstore in downtown Bethesda will not be getting my business.In refusing to patronize such businesses，I am standing up for the "unbanked" who can't afford credit cards or smartphones and also for people like me who simply choose to use cash.

（1）Why is the author disappointed at the new bookstore mainly？
A．Because there is no cafe area.
B．Because there are only e-books.
C．Because it rejects cash payment.
D．Because it doesn't accept credit cards.
（2）What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about？
A．The drawbacks of no-cash policy.
B．The credit risks of a cashless economy.
C．The convenience of credit card payment.
D．The privacy concerns of online shopping.
（3）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "patronize" in paragraph 5？
A．Sponsor.
B．Shop in.
C．Purchase.
D．Flee from.
（4）What is the probable attitude of the "unbanked" to the new bookstore？
A．Angry.
B．Worried.
C．Optimistic.
D．Enthusiastic.

202121. （2022•西安中学•二模） The new radio programme from self-help expert Glennon Doyle unexpectedly disturbed me.In a session of We Can Do Hard Things，she focuses on boundaries and their importance to our mental happiness.I heartily agree with her，because saying a polite but firm "no" is one of the basics for a happy life.I was，however，interested when she raised the idea that perhaps，as well as learning when to confirm our boundaries，we also need to stretch them.When does a boundary become a cage that locks us away？
   Isn't it always the case that just as you think you've got an area of life nailed；somebody comes along to show you that that's not the case？As I listened，I started to see boundaries that might cause more problems than they were solving.
   There was the work boundary that said that unless a project fell exactly into my topics，I wouldn't take it - which meant that I turned down work that was otherwise interesting and rewarding.
   There was the boundary that said I wasn't to buy anything until I'd reached my savings goal - which resulted in me having to restart my laptop 20 times a day.
   And then there was a boundary around relationships that set out exactly how I should be treated and what I wanted in them.Helpful to some extent，it blocked me from allowing someone to express their love for me，even if it wasn't quite what I had predicted.
   Had I been doing boundaries wrong all the time？Did I need to figure them all out again？I've spent the past few weeks looking at the boundaries I've secretly put in place，and I've let myself lower some that have been my protection over the years.Then I've come to the conclusion that，when it comes to boundaries，I'm a beginner again，and that's fine.In fact，being back at the beginning is a blessing because it means there are still lessons to be learned and adventures to be had and that is something for which I can only be grateful.

（1）What has really interested the author in Glennon Doyle's programme？
A．The importance of confirming our boundaries.
B．The benefits of boundaries to our happiness.
C．The urgency of maintaining our boundaries.
D．The necessity of reassessing our boundaries.
（2）What can be concluded as to the author's views on boundaries？
A．We should favour savings goals over boundaries.
B．Boundaries tend to keep us from potential friends.
C．Boundaries are very likely to relieve boredom at work.
D．We should stick to boundaries despite inconvenience.
（3）How did the author feel about boundaries after the adjustments？
A．Relaxed.
B．Depressed.
C．Pressured.
D．Amused.
（4）What is probably the best title for the passage？
A．Just when you think you've got things sorted...
B．Just where you believe there's no way out...
C．How can we live a life without boundaries？
D．How do we become victims of boundaries？

205061. （2022•蓝田县•高一下期末） Hamburgers，French fries，potato chips，popcorn，and pizza.There is no denying these foods are tasty.But often，it's the added salt that makes them so appealing.One result：U.S.kids are eating too much salty fare.
   Table salt is about 40% sodium（钠）.Our bodies need some sodium to work properly.But too much of it is not healthy.
   A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control（CDC）looked at the eating habits of 2，142 children between the ages of 6 and 18.It found that their average sodium intake was 3，256 milligrams per day.That equals nearly 1.5 teaspoons each day，which is 50% more than current guidelines recommend.
   Zerleen Quader is the study's lead author. "Eating too much sodium now can set kids up for health problems later，" she said.
   Much of the sodium that kids eat comes from processed foods.But potato chips and other salty snacks aren't the only culprits.There are other sodium sources - like bread and cold cuts - adding to the salt overload.
   All this added salt can raise blood pressure and，with it，the risk of a heart attack and other health problems.Today，1 in 9 children has raised blood pressure.There's good news though.Lowering salt intake can lower blood pressure.
   That，of course，is easier said than done.The more salty foods you eat，the more you develop a taste for them.The key to changing your diet is to start small. "Small changes in sodium in foods are not usually noticed，" Quader says.Eventually，she adds，the effort will reset a kid's taste buds（味蕾）so the salt desires stop.
   Need a little inspiration？Dietitian Bridget Murphy advises focusing on the immediate effects of a diet that is high in sodium.High blood pressure can make it difficult to be active. "Do you want to be able to think clearly and perform well in school？" she asks. "If you're an athlete，do you want to run faster？" If you answered yes to these questions，then it's time to shake the salt habit.

（1）What did the recent CDC study find？
A．The present advised salt intake is too high.
B．Teenagers have good dietary habits.
C．American kids have too much salt.
D．Proper sodium intake benefits human health.
（2）Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "culprits" in Paragraph 5？
A．Criminals.
B．Results.
C．Types.
D．Surprises.
（3）What is Quader's advice for kids？
A．Eat salt-free foods.
B．Have a low-sodium diet.
C．Keep away from junk food.
D．Take enough exercise regularly.
（4）According to Murphy，a salty diet will probably        .
A．help you have a quick mind
B．increase your running speed
C．make you relatively inactive
D．keep you hungry but spirited

204479. （2023•莲湖区•高一上期末） In January 2020，over a bottle of wine，Tulane University students Franziska Trautmann and Max Steitz were sharing their disappointment about having no glass recycling（回收利用） in New Orleans.They wanted to create a system that would recycle glass into something useful.With that，their grassroots glass recycling organization，Glass Half Full，was born.
   In a period of a global sand shortage，Glass Half Full is creating a way to compete with sand digging and mining，which disturb ecosystems，damage coastlines，and cost millions of dollars.Louisiana，where the organization is based，loses on average a football field of coastal wetlands an hour.Glass Half Full creates sand that，among other things，is used to rebuild coastlines and prevent floods.
   Glass and drink bottles are collected through a system of free drop-off collecting stations and roadside pickup.The glass is pulverized （粉碎），separated and recollected for use in varieties of projects.The sand and glass pieces are used for disaster prevention，coastal rebuild，eco-construction，and new glass products.
   Founders Trautmann and Steitz also hope their project will make people think that they have the power to work to protect the environment as individuals（个人）and as a community.Trautmann said， "We always hear， 'Oh，we can't do anything about global warming.We can't do anything about the environment.It's all the big companies and the government.It's up to them. 'But when you collect glass over one year，you will know individuals can do something.All those little things add up to something much bigger. "

201948. （2023•周至县•三模） A smile is the key to a thousand doors，but deploying （有效利用）it in every situation without mastery of its use is dangerous，says a new social science study.
   Scientists say it takes a great many muscles to smile；scientists at Queen's University Belfast in a recent study found that subtle（细微的）differences in the way in which a person smiled had not-so-subtle impacts on the opinions which the test participants had about the smiler. "Smiling at another person does not always lead to trust and cooperation，" said Dr.Stephanie Carpenter from the University of Michigan，a co-author of the study. "Subtle differences in a smile can definitely have a real impact on whether people trust each other and choose to cooperate.In fact，the way you smile in a good or bad situation can impact whether people trust you.
   "Think about movie villains（恶棍），for example in James Bond films，" said Dr.Magdalena Rychlowska from Queen's University，who led the research published in Cognition and Emotion journal. "They often make happy smiles when something bad has happened or is about to happen.This context makes these otherwise happy and normal smiles feel threatening and unpleasant." She adds，"The findings of this study show the power of subtle facial expressions and the positive consequences that an affiliation smile can have in difficult situations.It also highlights the importance of social context-a happy smile that could be read as a signal of trustworthiness in one setting can，but in another setting，it can be seen as the evidence of bad intentions."

213562. （2022•未央区•高二上期中） Today，many people spend a lot of time reading online，whether reading news，social media，or e-books.While online reading opens up a lot of knowledge to people，there are some drawbacks，too.These include eyestrain，headaches，as well as difficulty in even finishing reading the text.Now a new reading plugin（插件）has been intended to help people overcome these problems and read faster online.
   The reading plugin called Bionic Reading，which was developed by Swiss designer Renato Casutt，was created with the belief that your brain can read faster than your eyes.The plugin makes the first few letters of each word in bold（粗体），which actually allows your eyes to skip over parts of the text and your brain to fill in what is missing.Incredibly，reading like this feels like finally unlocking 100 percent of people's brain.
   Casutt came up with the plugin by accident.He was reading a book in a foreign language and realized he could read it faster and well master it if he separated it into parts.He has worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and is still working to perfect it.Many people who want to strengthen their reading ability show interest in it，but more research is needed before it can be definitively shown that the system improves reading ability.But people with dyslexia（诵读障碍）have confirmed that Bionic Reading did help them focus on what they are reading.
   Casutt's goal is to integrate the plugin into all reading apps and online services. "In a digital world dominated（支配）by shallow forms of reading，Bionic Reading aims to encourage a more in-depth reading and understanding of written content，" he said.Bionic Reading is available in several apps like Fiery Feeds，Lire，and Next App.The best way to know if it helps you read better online is to try it yourself and find out what it is all about.

（1）How does Bionic Reading work？
A．Users can read faster with less thinking.
B．Users keep their brains much less active.
C．Users keep an eye on part of the whole text.
D．Users guess the meanings of some key words.
（2）What benefit does Bionic Reading bring to people with dyslexia？
A．Selecting suitable reading contents.
B．Keeping up with reading contents.
C．Limiting reading time.
D．Reducing stress from reading.
（3）What can we learn about Bionic Reading？
A．It has not been put into use so far.
B．It has already been fully developed.
C．It leaves users a further reading and thinking.
D．It helps users skip the new words in reading.
（4）Which is the most suitable title for the text？
A．New Pioneering Plugin Improves Online Reading
B．Online Reading Is Sure To Perfect People's Brain
C．Spending Time On Online Reading Is Worthwhile

202043. （2022•西安中学•四模） Boredom is such a large part of day-to-day existence.Perhaps because it's common in our lives，scientists have been slow to explore it.John Eastwood is one of the first scholars to take an interest.
   One of the most common false views is that "only boring people get bored".
   Yet as Eastwood set about exploring the reasons for boredom，he found that there are two distinct types of personality that tend to suffer from the feeling of boredom，and neither are particularly dull themselves.
   Boredom often goes among people who are constantly looking for new experiences.For these people，the steady path of life just isn't enough to hold their attention.The second kind of bored people have almost exactly the opposite problem：the world is a fearful place，and so they try not to step outside their comfort zone.While this might offer some comfort，they are not always satisfied with the safety it offers and boredom results.
   Emotionould evolve for our benefit. "The very fact that boredom is a daily experience suggests it should be doing something useful，" says Heather Lench at Texas A&M University.Feelings like fear help us avoid danger，after all，while sadness might help prevent future mistakes.So，if true，what does boredom achieve？
   Reviewing the evidence so far，Lench suspects that it lies behind one of our most important characters---curiosity.Boredom，she says，pushes us to try to seek new goals or explore new ideas which stimulate innovation（激发创新）.
   Eastwood is less enthusiastic about boredom's benefits，but admits we should be cautious about looking for an immediate escape. "The feeling is so disgusting that people rush to remove it， " he says." I'm not going to join that war on boredom and come up with a cure，because we need to listen to the emotion and ask what it is trying to tell us to do. "

（1）What does John Eastwood's study mainly focus on？
A．Why people get bored.
B．The benefits of boredom.
C．How to deal with boredom.
D．The types of boredom.
（2）According to Lench，boredom        .
A．would help us avoid mistakes
B．cannot be cured for the moment
C．might be good for our creativity
D．could make us get tired and lose focus
（3）What's Eastwood's attitude towards finding a cure for boredom？
A．Curious.
B．Optimistic.
C．Objective.
D．Uninterested.
（4）What message can be concluded from the text？
A．Easier said than done.
B．Hard work never killed a man.
C．Practice makes perfect.
D．Every coin has two sides.

204395. （2023•铁一中学•高二下期末）     Gardening may be one of the most relaxing hobbies you'll find，with the excitement of seeing something you have planted actually turn into a flower.But if you've been holding back because you don't have a yard，then you' re missing out a lot.（1）
    Container gardening is the most obvious way to plant when you don't have a ton of space.If you can get a container regardless of its size，you can have a garden.（2）       Even a small pot with a brightly colored flower or bushy green plants can give your entryway a pop of color.
    （3）       Grow climbing plants on a fence or the posts over your doorway to decorate the side of your home.Plenty of plants are happy to grow up instead of out，so you can have some greenery without a traditional garden.
    Have an apartment or townhouse？Then consider outdoor window boxes that you access from inside.（4）       And they give you plenty of options to plant bright blooms or fresh herbs within reach—plus they give your home some added appeal at the same time.
    There's probably still one room where you haven't thought of putting some plants：Your bathroom.Even if yours doesn't get much light，a wall-mounted garden can still grow well.（5）       They will give your bathroom a more natural，earthy feel.

A.These require no ground space at all.
B.When plants get enough sunlight，they grow better.
C.If you're really short of space，think height instead.
D.They can add some green to the inside of your home.
E.Bigger pots give you space to grow several different flowers.
F.In fact，there are plenty of easy ways to get the joy of gardening.
G.Plants that do well in shady and wet environments are the best choice.

   "There was quite a big change in some areas，" said Stephen Arrowsmith，a seismologist at SMU，who took on the project with a class of undergraduate and graduate students.Arrowsmith and his students looked at data from a dozen seismometers （地震仪） across North Texas.Seismometers are used to detect earthquakes，but they are sensitive to just about everything that makes the ground vibrate，such as strong winds，ocean waves，construction and traffic.
   The innovative idea of using seismometers to track urban noise gained popularity last March when Belgian seismologist Thomas Lecocq posted some of his urban noise data from Brussels on Twitter.Lecocq，of the Royal Observatory of Belgium，received such an enthusiastic response from scientists that he launched the group "Lockdown Seismology" online. "It's where bored seismologists around the world are working together，" Arrowsmith joked.
   Arrowsmith hopes his findings will contribute to a growing list of creative ways in which researchers are using seismometers.In his course，Arrowsmith teaches students how seismic stations can help investigators solve crimes，like terrorist bombings，aid scientists in tracking nuclear tests or assist inspectors in investigating accidents，like chemical plant explosions.One potential application of his research is to better understand the shallow layers of Earth beneath cities. "That could be useful in places where there's a real seismic hazard，like San Francisco or Los Angeles，" he said， "where just knowing what that shallow structure is tells you a lot about how it would respond in a big earthquake."

（1）What did the researchers do to obtain the data of noise in Texas？
A．They observed car traffic.
B．They surveyed their students.
C．They consulted the governor.
D．They employed Seismometers.
（2）What is a direct result of Lecocq's posting some of his urban noise data？

213249. （2023•交大附中•高二上期中） Many people confuse hard-working people with workaholics（工作狂）.How could a person tell that he/she is a workaholic？A workaholic works long hours，at the expense of personal relationships and health.When not working，they're thinking about work.Work influences their mood：when work is going well，they're up；when work is going less well，they're down.
   Working，or simply being busy，can be a hard habit to break.When workaholics aren't busy working—or doing something to promote their work—they feel anxious and guilty.They hang onto jobs for dear life and do everything they can to make sure they're essential.
   There is a link between health problems and workaholism.Just because work itself is a respectable pursuit（追求） doesn't mean that an addiction to it is any less damaging than other sorts of addictions.A number of studieow that workaholism has been associated with a wide range of health problems，such as anxiety and heart disease.
   Besides health problems，being a workaholic brings other negative effects as well.A study published in the American Journal of Family Therapy found that working too much negatively influenced an employee's marriage.This isn't surprising，since if you're married to your work，it can be difficult to be married to anything，or anyone，else.There have also been studies looking at the influence of workaholic parents on their children and the news isn't good.Adult children of workaholic fathers experienced more depression and anxiety and a weaker sense of self.
   However，there are also many positive aspects to working hard and to an increasing devotion to career.Hard work can bring great rewards.For many，it's how they develop feelings of self-worth and confidence and purpose.If you have a workaholic in your life，you might point out the things he or she is missing out on while at work，whether it's a child's soccer game，a good book，or a yoga class.Seek to understand why the person feels the need to work so much and support them in finding a solution.

（1）What can we infer about workaholics？
A．They put work in the first place.
B．They usually have life outside work.

213496. （2022•长安区一中•高一上期中） Life in space will certainly take some getting used to!But the space station has been designed to keep the astronauts as comfortable as possible—the modules（舱） are roomy，bright，and kept at a constant 21℃.It's important the crew members are comfortable because they'll be busy aboard the station.In a typical workday，crew members will spend 14 hours working and exercising，1.5 hours preparing and eating meals，and 8.5 hours sleeping.Here are some other fun facts about life aboard the station：
   Food
   Come mealtime，astronauts will have a special dining kitchen.Space food just keeps getting better—and more like food we enjoy here on Earth.In early space missions（任务），astronauts could eat only freeze-dried food that didn't require any preparation.But the space station is equipped with water，microwave ovens，and refrigerators，allowing the folks on board to eat more "normal" types of food，including fruit，vegetables，and ice cream!
   Sleep
   Each crew member has a private room.With no gravity，they'll need to tie themselves to their beds，or they will float away!That might sound like a strange way to sleep，but astronauts from past space missions report that sleeping in space is actually pretty great!
   Exercise
   You might not think it，but exercise is even more important on the station than it is on Earth.There is not much gravity in space.Astronauts don't stand up，sit down or walk in space，so their muscles and bones don't have to work much—and this muscle and bone loss can be dangerous back on Earth.To fight this，astronauts on the station will exercise on bikes，rowing machines，and other equipment about two hours every day.
   Clothing
   Astronauts will have to wear special space suits while travelling aboard the U.S.shuttle or Russian rockets.But once they're safe inside the space station，crew members can wear regular clothing.Of course，a specially designed，pressurized space suit is required for space walks.It has to bear flying pieces and protect the astronauts from dramatic temperature changes.It can range from -84℃ in the shadow of the station to 121℃ in the hot sun.
   Personal Cleanliness
   Simple tasks like brushing your teeth can be challenging in a weightless environment.A little water doesn't flow in a stream.Astronauts will use a freshwater hose（软管） to take showers，shampoo，and wash off—then a second vacuum hose to suction（吸） off the dirty water.And how do you go to the bathroom in space？With a special "air toilet" that uses flowing air instead of water to get rid of waste.

（1）The text is mainly about         .
A．ways to get used to life in space.
B．fun facts about life in space.
C．temperature changes in space.
D．a typical workday in space.
（2）What can we learn about space food from the text？
A．Space food is getting better now than before.
B．Astronauts could eat apples in space in the past.
C．Fresh food isn't available to astronauts in space.
D．Astronauts eat only fruit，vegetables and ice cream now.
（3）Why is exercise more important in space than on Earth？
A．It can prevent muscle and bone loss.
B．It can make astronauts feel relaxed in space.
C．It can help astronauts spend their spare time happily.
D．Astronauts' lives are more important in space than on earth.
（4）What can be learned from the paragraph "Clothing"？
A．Astronauts wear pressurized space suits just to keep warm.
B．Astronauts can wear regular clothing for space walks now.
C．Astronauts must wear special space suits all the time in space.
D．The temperature is quite different in different places in space.

202207. （2022•长安区一中•五模） This is the greatest mystery of our adult life：How can we spend all day typing at a computer and go home feeling exhausted？How could merely activating the small muscles of our fingers leave us worn out at the end of the day？What causes mental fatigue？
   "It is kind of a mystery，to be honest." said Michael Inzlicht，a University of Toronto psychologist who studies self-control，motivation，and fatigue.But scientists do have some clues.There is a hypothesis for why we get so tired from work when we're not physically active.We get so tired because our motivation runs out.As we work on a task，we struggle to focus on it or eventually lose interest in it.We become less motivated to do the task.We become drawn to the things we want to do（browsing social media or reading music blogs，for instance） rather than the things we have to do.
   Researchers in the UK published new evidence that finds some indirect evidence for the motivational model.This study tracked 100 nurses in the UK over two 12-hour shifts.
   Throughout the shifts，the nurses reported how fatigued they felt at regular intervals.They also wore devices that monitored and tracked the amount of physical activity they were engaged in.When the researchers investigated what could possibly explain the fatigue，they found some interesting patterns.Here's the result：There was no connection between the amount of physical work the nurses did and their feelings of fatigue.Instead，they found this small connection：The nurses who were least likely to feel fatigued from their work also felt the most in control of their work，and the most rewarded for it.These feelings may have boosted their motivation，which may have boosted their perception of having energy.
   Inzlicht has also found evidence for the motivational model in his work.A few years ago，he and Carleton University psychologist Marina Milyavskaya monitored 159 students at McGill University in Canada for a week. "What was surprising to us was the biggest predictor of fatigue，not whether they had self-control." Inzlicht said. "Instead，the predictor was the number of temptations they felt." "If you're typing at work，and if you're anything like me，you got a few browsers open.These lead to temptations，" he said. "Temptations make us less motivated to do our work，which，in turn，may make us tired."
   And there may be an evolutionary reason for why our brains would do this. "As an organism，we need to meet multiple goals to survive." Inzlicht explains. "We're not merely focused on finding food or pursuing our passions in life.We need to do all these things to be a healthy，thriving species." Because these multiple goals compete with one another（for our time），we need a mechanism sending signals. "Hey，stop doing that thing and do something else." That mechanism，he suggests，could be fatigue.In this light，boosting our motivation to stay on a task could lead us to feel less fatigued.

（1）Why does the author ask so many questions in the first paragraph？
A．To introduce a common phenomenon.
B．To raise some questions that are appealing.
C．To lead to the theme and attract attention.
D．To show the author's concern of the problem.
（2）The underlined word "fatigue" in the passage could best be replaced by        .
A．excitement
B．tiredness
C．health
D．disability
（3）Which one is the hypothesis for why we are often feel exhausted after one-day work？
A．We are drawn to others things we have to do.
B．Lacking drive to finish a task leads to tiredness.
C．Smaller amount of physical activity makes us more tired.
D．Better self-control can boost one's motivation to work.
（4）Which of the following may Inzlicht agree with？
A．The person with strong self-control can get more reward from work.
B．The one who are less motivated will be exposed to more temptations.
C．While typing，we use little part of our muscle，which is more tiring.
D．Typing with some browsers open will sometimes makes us more tired.

202225. （2022•临潼区•一模） It is generally acknowledged that a time-out，a method of checking misbehavior by removing the child from his or her current situation for a few minutes of quiet time，is bad for children's emotional and behavioral health.However，a new study suggests that despite always getting criticized，the common disciplinary（纪律的）strategy isn't linked to harmful effects on children.
   Researchers compared emotional and behavioral health between kids whose parents reported using time-outs and those who didn't over a roughly eight-year period.The result：no difference.There was no association between reported use of time-outs and negative symptoms in later childhood，including anxiety，depression，internalizing or externalizing problems，aggression，rule-breaking behavior，or self-control，according to the findings in Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics（儿科学）.
   "Parents are constantly questioning whether they are doing the right thing for their children.Unfortunately the first place many parents go for advice is the Internet-not a medical provider.There is a lot of conflicting information on the Web that isn't accurate，" says lead author Rachel Knight，PhD，pediatric psychologist at University of Michigan C.S.Mott Children's Hospital. "In fact，they may not be aware that time-out is one of the child discipline strategies currently recommended by American Academy of Pediatrics."
   Further studies are needed to continue evaluating specific claims made against time-outs and both their short-term and long-term effects across different populations and ages.Experts also need to find more effective ways to communicate evidence-based information to parents.
   "As we further our understanding about how different parenting strategies affect children，we need to present findings in an easily digestible and accessible way for the public，" she also says，"Our goal is to clear up misconceptions and promote the use of the highly effective，evidence-based strategies that will best guide parents and families."

（1）What do people generally think of a time-out？
A．It has negative effects on children.
B．It is an ineffective way of punishment.
C．It is a method to assess children's misbehavior.
D．It has nothing to do with harmful effects on children.
（2）What can be inferred from Knight's words in the third paragraph？
A．Most young parents lack medical knowledge.
B．Some information on the Internet needs regulating.
C．She is concerned about the overuse of time-outs.
D．The more time-outs are used，the better children behave.
（3）What is the target of Knight's further research？
A．To recommend some effective strategies to parents.
B．To remove people's misunderstanding about time-outs.
C．To appeal to government to regulate information on the Net.
D．To warn parents of getting evidence-based information from experts.
（4）What's the best title for the text？
A．How Parents Use Time-out Correctly.
B．Time-outs Bad for Children's Behavioral Health.
C．Some Highly Effective Strategies to Guide Parents.
D．Time-outs Not Associated with Negative Effects on Children.
