易錯(cuò)陷阱1:標(biāo)題類易混易錯(cuò)點(diǎn)。
【分析】
標(biāo)題類是對中心思想的加工和提煉,可以是單詞、短語、也可以是句子。她的特點(diǎn)是短小精悍,多為短語;涵蓋性、精確性強(qiáng);不能隨意改變語言表達(dá)的程度和色彩。如果是短語類選項(xiàng),考生容易混淆重點(diǎn),此時(shí)應(yīng)當(dāng)先劃出選項(xiàng)的關(guān)鍵詞。
此類題和文章的中心主題句有很大關(guān)系。中心主題句一般出現(xiàn)在第一段,有時(shí)第一段也可能引出話題,此時(shí)應(yīng)當(dāng)重點(diǎn)關(guān)注第二段和最后一段,看看是否會出現(xiàn)首尾呼應(yīng)。
易錯(cuò)陷阱2:段落大意類易混易錯(cuò)點(diǎn)。
【分析】 每個(gè)段落都有一個(gè)中心思想,通常會在段落的第一句或最后一句體現(xiàn),這就是段落主題句。如果沒有明顯的主題句時(shí),應(yīng)當(dāng)根據(jù)段落內(nèi)容概括處段落大意。有時(shí)考生還會找錯(cuò)文章對應(yīng)位置,盲目選詞文中相同的詞句,而出現(xiàn)文不對題的現(xiàn)象。
易錯(cuò)陷阱3:文章大意類易混易錯(cuò)點(diǎn)。
【分析】確定文章主旨的方法是:先看首尾段或各段開頭再看全文找主題句,若無明顯主題句,就通過關(guān)鍵詞句來概括。如,議論文中尋找表達(dá)作者觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度的詞語,記敘文中尋找概括情節(jié)和中心的動詞或反映人物特點(diǎn)的形容詞。文中出現(xiàn)不同觀點(diǎn)時(shí),要牢記作者的觀點(diǎn)彩色體現(xiàn)全文中心的。此時(shí),要注意轉(zhuǎn)折詞,如:but, hwever, yet, in spite f, n the cntrary等。

【例1】 (24-25高三上·湖北·階段練習(xí))The histry f the West is nt what yu learned in schl.
The idea f civilizatin is relatively recent. The wrd was first used nly in the mid-18th century and did nt take hld f Western imaginatins until the late 19th century. In that imperialist age, histrians fund that Greek and Rman civilizatin made nice building blcks that culd be stacked int a grand- lking cnstruct, which they labeled “Western” Or “Eurpean” civilizatin. T this they attributed (歸因) many inherited “classical” virtues: vigr, ratinality, justice, demcracy and curage t experiment and explre. Other civilizatins, by cntrast, were regarded as inferir.
Odds are strng that yu first became aware f the term “Western Civilizatin” thrugh an intrductry survey curse in cllege r AP histry in high schl. And yu’ve lived yur life since then believing that “the West” basts “a cmmn rigin resulting in a shared histry, a shared heritage, and a shared identity” grunded in the classical era f Greece and Rme.
Schlars almst always refer t “the West” when they make majr statements abut the future f the glbe. Well, the fact is that there is n such thing as the West. One might prtest: “the West” is “a Civilizatin”!
If “the West” can even be called a Civilizatin, then it is the least riginal “Civilizatin” in histry. It is pretty widely acknwledged that virtually n basic technlgies were, strictly speaking, invented in Eurpe r the United States. Metalwrk, the plw, hydrcarbn fuels, higher mathematics, paper, wind- pwered sea navigatin, the cmpass, pwder, and steam engines all came frm elsewhere. In terms f the crucial agricultural prducts that feed everyne in the mdern wrld, t, nne riginated in Eurpe.
Sme peple think f Western culture and values as being characterized by demcracy, liberalism, enlightenment, scientific prgress and individualism. They see it as a birthright t be passed n frm generatin t generatin thrugh the ages. Hwever, culture and values are ptins t be made actively, nt “tracks laid dwn by a Western destiny”. Rather than being irritating and inward- lking, mst scieties have prved receptive t ideas, fashins and technlgies frm their neighbrs.

【變式1】(24-25高三上·重慶沙坪壩·階段練習(xí))When a yung sawfly, a bee- like insect, is threatened by its attackers like ants, it emits a mixture f unpleasant smells t defend itself. These emissins can seriusly anny a ptential enemy.
Scientists wanting t study these smelly cmpunds — t understand which aspects f them discurage attackers and why — face great challenges. Jean-Luc Bevé, a zlgist wh studies insects, frm the Ryal Belgian Institute f Natural Sciences, is an amateur musician and cmpser. He decided t try a different way — the sund apprach. “T be hnest, I cnsidered this prject s unpractical myself that I set it aside,” he said. It was mnths befre Bevé and his parther, Rudi Git, finally made a reslutin t get started n it.
They chse 16 sawfly species’ emissins t translate int sunds. First, they figured ut which mlecules (分子) were present in each smelly cmpund and in what amunts. Then they assigned varius characteristics f thse mlecules matching prperties f sund. Fr example, smaller mlecules like a kind f acid fund in vinegar, a sur- tasting liquid, evaprate (揮發(fā)) quickly, s Bevé and Git assigned them sunds with higher pitch (音高). Larger mlecules were given lwer- pitched sunds. In all, the scientists created individual audi descriptins fr 20 mlecules. Then they cmbined the sunds f each mlecule present in a sawfy’s smell t cnstruct the insect’s sundtrack. If a mlecule was f higher prprtin in an emissin, they assigned it a higher vlume. In such a case, the smaller a mlecule is, the higher its pitch will be; and the higher the prprtin f a mlecule is, the higher its vlume will be.
T examine peple’s reactins t the sundtracks, they played the audi descriptins thrugh speakers t abut 50 study participants. Then the scientists measured hw far peple backed up t get t a “cmfrtable psitin” away frm the nise. Mst f the study vlunteers tld the researchers that the high pitch, as well as the high vlume, was what made them withdraw. “Ants and vlunteers mved away frm a chemical and its matching sundtrack respectively,” the researchers wrte.
Bevé said he hped the prcess wuld give ther zlgists a new way t ffer clues abut which mlecules fight ff enemies mst.

Tw Gergia Tech researchers, Kantwn Rgers and Reiden Webber, designed a driving simulatin (模擬) experiment t investigate hw intentinal rbt deceptin affects trust between humans and AI, and whether different types f aplgies can help repair that trust.
In the simulatin, participants were instructed t drive a “rbt-assisted car” t the hspital t save a friend’s life, while the AI assistant falsely warned f plice ahead, advising participants t stay under the speed limit. Upn reaching the hspital, participants were infrmed that there were n plice, and they received ne f five different text-based respnses frm the rbt — three admitting the lie, tw ffering a simple aplgy withut admissin. The study aimed t determine which type f aplgy was mst effective in repairing trust after a rbt’s lie.
The results f the experiment were surprising. 45% f the participants did nt speed, because they believed the rbt knew mre abut the situatin than they did, revealing an verly trusting attitude tward AI. The results als indicated that while nne f the aplgy types fully recvered trust, the aplgy with n admissin f lying was statistically mre effective in repairing trust than ther respnses.
The researchers’ final gal is t create a rbt system that can learn when and hw t lie r aplgize during human-AI interactins. But they acknwledge that this is a cmplex issue. “We still knw very little abut Al deceptin, but we d knw that lying is nt always bad, and telling the truth isn’t always gd,” Rgers said. “S hw can we make laws that supprt new ideas withut harming them, while als keeping peple safe?”

【變式3】(24-25高三上·遼寧·階段練習(xí))A recent study frm the University f Guelph in Canada has revealed a surprising discvery abut cmmn eastern bumblebees (大黃蜂): These insects can survive underwater fr up t a week. This finding, published in the jurnal Bilgy Letters, came abut due t an experimental errr when researchers placed hibernating (冬眠的) queen bumblebees in water and fund them alive days later. The discvery has impressed scientists. particularly because bumblebees are land-based creatures nt typically assciated with water envirnments.
Nigel Raine, a prfessr in the schl f envirnmental sciences at the university and the study’s lead authr, expressed his astnishment at the results. T further explre this phenmenn, Raine and his team cnducted an experiment invlving 143 hibernating queen bumblebees. They discvered that thse placed underwater fr up t seven days had similar survival rates t thse nt, indicating that the bees’ ability t survive such cnditins may be mre cmmn than previusly thught.
The research underlines the strength f bumblebees during their hibernatin perid. a critical phase in their life cycle that has remained largely unexplred. Queen bumblebees typically hibernate alne in small hles during the cld mnths, which are believed t prtect them frm flding. Hwever, this study reveals that these bees pssess an unexpected adaptatin, allwing them t survive even in flded cnditins.
Given these findings, ne pssible explanatin fr their survival is diapause, a state f suspended grwth and reprductin characterized by reduced xygen intake. During this state. bumblebees may clse their spiracles (氣孔) t prevent water frm entering their bdies, and they might als breathe thrugh their skin. This energy-saving mde is likely a key factr in their ability t survive beneath the water.
Raine emphasized the imprtance f understanding these mechanisms, as it culd have significant implicatins fr the study f wild insects that help with plant reprductin, which are crucial fr fd security and ecsystem health, His team’s research will aim t determine whether hibernating queens can survive even lnger perids underwater and if similar strength exists in ther bee species.

The study, published in Neurlgy, analyzed health and ccupatinal data n 7,000 Nrwegians wh were fllwed frm their 30s until they retired in their 60s. “Many ther studies n this tpic have lked at the mst recent jbs that peple have,” said lead authr Dr. Trine Edwin, a researcher at University f Osl, “but due t the natinal database we have in Nrway, we were able t fllw peple ver much f their lifetimes.”
T d the analysis, Edwin categrized the cgnitive demands f 305 ccupatins in Nrway. Mre cgnitively demanding jbs were nt based n rutine tasks, even thugh repetitin was required at times. “There were lawyers, dctrs, accuntants, and peple in public service in this grup, but the mst cmmn ccupatin was teaching,” Edwin said, “as effective cmmunicatin utside f the classrm and schl matters. It always depends n teachers’ understandings f students’ different situatins and teachers’ empathy.”
Having a rutine jb with little mental stimulatin during yur 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s is linked t a 66% higher risk f mild cgnitive impairment (損傷) and a 37% greater risk f dementia after the age f 70, when cmpared with having an ccupatin — that requires mre cmplex thinking. “The ccupatinal envirnment is paramunt in prmting cgnitive well-being.” said Edwin. “Similarly, just like we can use physical exercise t grw and maintain ur muscles, exercising ur brain thrugh mre challenging wrk assignments seems t help fight dementia.”
“While I’d guess that peple at risk fr dementia wuld be well served by taking advantage f prfessinal advancement pprtunities, learning new jb tasks, and refining (改進(jìn)) their skills at wrk ver a perid f time, further studies will need t clarify which specific activities have the mst brain healthy benefits,” Edwin added.

In ne vide, the persn was attempting t determine the number f items inside the bx, while in the ther, they aimed t identify the shapes f the bjects. Surprisingly, within a few secnds, the study participants were able t accurately determine the intentin behind each shake.

That’s why the United Natins declared 2022 - 2032 the Internatinal Decade f Indigenus (本土的) Languages.
But turning the trend f language extinctin is n easy task. We knw that t keep languages alive, we have t create an immersive envirnment. A gd example f the immersin methd is “l(fā)anguage nests”, where little kids and ther beginners learn frm fluent elders n a regular basis. One f the first language nests was started in New Zealand in 1982 by Mari elders wh wrried that their language, culture, and even pride were disappearing. The elders decided t teach children their native tngue thrugh culturally relevant sng and play.
The language nest mdel was s successful that it migrated t Hawaii and then thrughut the wrld. Language nests are typically physical spaces but can als be fund nline.
While immersin prgrams can have excellent utcmes, they require significant funding and resurces t remain sustainable ver time.

At the Budng Central Frest Reserve in Uganda, University f Oxfrd researchers studied the behavirs and health f 51 wild chimpanzees frm tw habituated grups. They nted a male chimpanzee with a hand injury searching fr and eating fern leaves, which might have eased pain and swelling. Additinally, they bserved anther ill chimpanzee cnsuming parts f a cat-thrn tree.
The team als tested the plant species in the reserve, which they suspected were being cnsumed by the chimpanzees t self-medicate, fr anti-inflammatry (抗炎) and antibacterial (抗菌) characteristics. The species included plants nt part f the chimpanzees’ nrmal diet, but being cnsumed fr their healing characteristics. The authrs fund 88% f the plant species had antibacterial characteristics, arresting the grwth f bacteria, while 33% f them had anti- inflammatry characteristics.
Deadwd frm a tree in the Dgbane family shwed the strngest antibacterial activity and als had anti-inflammatry characteristics, suggesting it culd be used t treat wunds, they said. Rts frm the East African mahgany tree and leaves frm fem were fund t exhibit ptential anti-inflammatry effects. The results suggested that chimpanzees lked fr and ate specific plants fr their medicinal effects, and the study was ne f the first t dcument evidence f this kind, the authrs said.
Team member Fabien Schultz hpes that the findings might lead t prmising candidates fr human medicines. “What if human lives can be saved by fllwing the ways f ur animal relatives?” he says.

(24-25高三上·四川綿陽·階段練習(xí))While stress is an unavidable aspect f life, studies cntinue t shw t much stress can have a bad impact n bth health and well- being. Mre specifically, excess stress can lead t high bld pressure, increasing heart disease risk. With all that in mind, researchers frm the Universities f Maynth and Limerick set ut t better understand hw reactins t stressful events impact ur future health, as well as if there are any factrs that can play key stress- buffering (緩解壓力) rles.
The research team suggests that previus research has shwn that gratitude and affect- balance (balance f psitive t negative emtins) play key stress- buffering rles. Hwever, up until nw there have been few studies examining the impact f these variables n cardivascular (心血管) recvery frm severe psychlgical stress. Researchers chse t fcus n this cnsideratin, as well as whether r nt affect- balance mderates the relatinship between gratitude and cardivascular reactins t severe psychlgical stress.
The actual research prtin f this prject tk place at Maynth University and invlved a ttal f 68 undergrad students (24 men, 44 wmen) between the ages f 18 and 57. The experiment featured lab tasks which caused stress amng the participants, while researchers measured cardivascular reactivity and recvery in respnse t the stress.
The ensuing results reveal that a state f gratitude predicts lwer systlic (收縮的) bld pressure respnses thrughut the stress- testing perid. This means, researchers say, that gratitude prmtes a unique stress- buffering effect n bth reactins t and recvery frm severe psychlgical stress.

易錯(cuò)陷阱1:標(biāo)題類易混易錯(cuò)點(diǎn)。
【分析】
標(biāo)題類是對中心思想的加工和提煉,可以是單詞、短語、也可以是句子。她的特點(diǎn)是短小精悍,多為短語;涵蓋性、精確性強(qiáng);不能隨意改變語言表達(dá)的程度和色彩。如果是短語類選項(xiàng),考生容易混淆重點(diǎn),此時(shí)應(yīng)當(dāng)先劃出選項(xiàng)的關(guān)鍵詞。
此類題和文章的中心主題句有很大關(guān)系。中心主題句一般出現(xiàn)在第一段,有時(shí)第一段也可能引出話題,此時(shí)應(yīng)當(dāng)重點(diǎn)關(guān)注第二段和最后一段,看看是否會出現(xiàn)首尾呼應(yīng)。
易錯(cuò)陷阱2:段落大意類易混易錯(cuò)點(diǎn)。
【分析】 每個(gè)段落都有一個(gè)中心思想,通常會在段落的第一句或最后一句體現(xiàn),這就是段落主題句。如果沒有明顯的主題句時(shí),應(yīng)當(dāng)根據(jù)段落內(nèi)容概括處段落大意。有時(shí)考生還會找錯(cuò)文章對應(yīng)位置,盲目選詞文中相同的詞句,而出現(xiàn)文不對題的現(xiàn)象。
易錯(cuò)陷阱3:文章大意類易混易錯(cuò)點(diǎn)。
【分析】確定文章主旨的方法是:先看首尾段或各段開頭再看全文找主題句,若無明顯主題句,就通過關(guān)鍵詞句來概括。如,議論文中尋找表達(dá)作者觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度的詞語,記敘文中尋找概括情節(jié)和中心的動詞或反映人物特點(diǎn)的形容詞。文中出現(xiàn)不同觀點(diǎn)時(shí),要牢記作者的觀點(diǎn)彩色體現(xiàn)全文中心的。此時(shí),要注意轉(zhuǎn)折詞,如:but, hwever, yet, in spite f, n the cntrary等。

The idea f civilizatin is relatively recent. The wrd was first used nly in the mid-18th century and did nt take hld f Western imaginatins until the late 19th century. In that imperialist age, histrians fund that Greek and Rman civilizatin made nice building blcks that culd be stacked int a grand- lking cnstruct, which they labeled “Western” Or “Eurpean” civilizatin. T this they attributed (歸因) many inherited “classical” virtues: vigr, ratinality, justice, demcracy and curage t experiment and explre. Other civilizatins, by cntrast, were regarded as inferir.
Odds are strng that yu first became aware f the term “Western Civilizatin” thrugh an intrductry survey curse in cllege r AP histry in high schl. And yu’ve lived yur life since then believing that “the West” basts “a cmmn rigin resulting in a shared histry, a shared heritage, and a shared identity” grunded in the classical era f Greece and Rme.
Schlars almst always refer t “the West” when they make majr statements abut the future f the glbe. Well, the fact is that there is n such thing as the West. One might prtest: “the West” is “a Civilizatin”!
If “the West” can even be called a Civilizatin, then it is the least riginal “Civilizatin” in histry. It is pretty widely acknwledged that virtually n basic technlgies were, strictly speaking, invented in Eurpe r the United States. Metalwrk, the plw, hydrcarbn fuels, higher mathematics, paper, wind- pwered sea navigatin, the cmpass, pwder, and steam engines all came frm elsewhere. In terms f the crucial agricultural prducts that feed everyne in the mdern wrld, t, nne riginated in Eurpe.
Sme peple think f Western culture and values as being characterized by demcracy, liberalism, enlightenment, scientific prgress and individualism. They see it as a birthright t be passed n frm generatin t generatin thrugh the ages. Hwever, culture and values are ptins t be made actively, nt “tracks laid dwn by a Western destiny”.

Scientists wanting t study these smelly cmpunds — t understand which aspects f them discurage attackers and why — face great challenges. Jean-Luc Bevé, a zlgist wh studies insects, frm the Ryal Belgian Institute f Natural Sciences, is an amateur musician and cmpser. He decided t try a different way — the sund apprach. “T be hnest, I cnsidered this prject s unpractical myself that I set it aside,” he said. It was mnths befre Bevé and his parther, Rudi Git, finally made a reslutin t get started n it.
They chse 16 sawfly species’ emissins t translate int sunds. First, they figured ut which mlecules (分子) were present in each smelly cmpund and in what amunts. Then they assigned varius characteristics f thse mlecules matching prperties f sund. Fr example, smaller mlecules like a kind f acid fund in vinegar, a sur- tasting liquid, evaprate (揮發(fā)) quickly, s Bevé and Git assigned them sunds with higher pitch (音高). Larger mlecules were given lwer- pitched sunds. In all, the scientists created individual audi descriptins fr 20 mlecules. Then they cmbined the sunds f each mlecule present in a sawfy’s smell t cnstruct the insect’s sundtrack. If a mlecule was f higher prprtin in an emissin, they assigned it a higher vlume. In such a case, the smaller a mlecule is, the higher its pitch will be; and the higher the prprtin f a mlecule is, the higher its vlume will be.
T examine peple’s reactins t the sundtracks, they played the audi descriptins thrugh speakers t abut 50 study participants. Then the scientists measured hw far peple backed up t get t a “cmfrtable psitin” away frm the nise. Mst f the study vlunteers tld the researchers that the high pitch, as well as the high vlume, was what made them withdraw. “Ants and vlunteers mved away frm a chemical and its matching sundtrack respectively,” the researchers wrte.

This finding, published in the jurnal Bilgy Letters, came abut due t an experimental errr when researchers placed hibernating (冬眠的) queen bumblebees in water and fund them alive days later. The discvery has impressed scientists. particularly because bumblebees are land-based creatures nt typically assciated with water envirnments.
Nigel Raine, a prfessr in the schl f envirnmental sciences at the university and the study’s lead authr, expressed his astnishment at the results. T further explre this phenmenn, Raine and his team cnducted an experiment invlving 143 hibernating queen bumblebees. They discvered that thse placed underwater fr up t seven days had similar survival rates t thse nt, indicating that the bees’ ability t survive such cnditins may be mre cmmn than previusly thught.
The research underlines the strength f bumblebees during their hibernatin perid. a critical phase in their life cycle that has remained largely unexplred. Queen bumblebees typically hibernate alne in small hles during the cld mnths, which are believed t prtect them frm flding. Hwever, this study reveals that these bees pssess an unexpected adaptatin, allwing them t survive even in flded cnditins.
Given these findings, ne pssible explanatin fr their survival is diapause, a state f suspended grwth and reprductin characterized by reduced xygen intake. During this state. bumblebees may clse their spiracles (氣孔) t prevent water frm entering their bdies, and they might als breathe thrugh their skin. This energy-saving mde is likely a key factr in their ability t survive beneath the water.
Raine emphasized the imprtance f understanding these mechanisms, as it culd have significant implicatins fr the study f wild insects that help with plant reprductin, which are crucial fr fd security and ecsystem health, His team’s research will aim t determine whether hibernating queens can survive even lnger perids underwater and if similar strength exists in ther bee species.

(24-25高三上·四川綿陽·階段練習(xí))While stress is an unavidable aspect f life, studies cntinue t shw t much stress can have a bad impact n bth health and well- being. Mre specifically, excess stress can lead t high bld pressure, increasing heart disease risk. With all that in mind, researchers frm the Universities f Maynth and Limerick set ut t better understand hw reactins t stressful events impact ur future health, as well as if there are any factrs that can play key stress- buffering (緩解壓力) rles.
The research team suggests that previus research has shwn that gratitude and affect- balance (balance f psitive t negative emtins) play key stress- buffering rles. Hwever, up until nw there have been few studies examining the impact f these variables n cardivascular (心血管) recvery frm severe psychlgical stress. Researchers chse t fcus n this cnsideratin, as well as whether r nt affect- balance mderates the relatinship between gratitude and cardivascular reactins t severe psychlgical stress.
The actual research prtin f this prject tk place at Maynth University and invlved a ttal f 68 undergrad students (24 men, 44 wmen) between the ages f 18 and 57. The experiment featured lab tasks which caused stress amng the participants, while researchers measured cardivascular reactivity and recvery in respnse t the stress.
The ensuing results reveal that a state f gratitude predicts lwer systlic (收縮的) bld pressure respnses thrughut the stress- testing perid. This means, researchers say, that gratitude prmtes a unique stress- buffering effect n bth reactins t and recvery frm severe psychlgical stress. The team als fund that affect- balance increases the effects f grateful feelings.
In cnclusin, researchers believe these findings hld clinical (臨床的) usefulness. There are many lw- cst ways t develp grateful feelings that can help prmte imprved well- being. Fr instance, ne earlier study fund cardiac patients wh make use f gratitude jurnals have better cardivascular utcmes than thse wh d nt. Thse earlier prjects, in cmbinatin with these latest findings, strngly suggest that gratitude is a useful tl in the fight against stress and pr cardivascular health.
What is the text mainly abut?
A.The appraches t cping with stress.
B.The cnnectin between stress and heart disease.
C.The benefits f being thankful.

(24-25高三上·河南·階段練習(xí))Ask any birder, and they’ll tell yu abut the great excitement f identifying a new species. Recently a tapping sund utside a windw led my family t the presence f a striking, unfamiliar wdpecker (啄木鳥) in a nearby tree. Its head had large red feathers, and it was huge — the size f a crw (烏鴉). Curius, my husband, a birder, turned t a phne app and sn knew it was a Pileated Wdpecker.
Curisity is what drives us t find answers as sn as pssible. In previus research, when peple were able t chse whether t receive their highly anticipated answer t a questin nw r later, they generally pted fr the fastest path t reslutin. This impatience fr answers shws a main functin f curisity:t reduce uncertainty.
But this picture f curisity is incmplete. In a new study, we explred whether there are multiple flavurs f curisity. We fund that althugh interest can drive an urgent desire fr answers, it can als lead t mre patience, setting peple up fr thse mments f discvery.
We asked mre than 2, 000 peple aged 19 t 76 years t watch a series f shrt vides. Each vide started with a blank screen. A line wuld then appear and gradually take a shape. Imagine a dynamic line that begins t g upward and dwnward, tracing a series f triangles (三角形). The line then extends, frming an val arund the triangles, like an egg. Then, just as yu start t feel certain abut what the finished drawing will be, lng, pinty tips are drawn at the tp, revealing the true subject: a pineapple.
While the participants watched each vide, we asked them t reprt hw curius they were abut what the drawing wuld becme. We als gave them the chice t either keep watching it slwly unfld r jump t the end f the vide, shwing the result immediately. Interestingly, when participants were mre curius abut what the drawing wuld becme, they were mre likely t cntinue watching rather than skipping ahead t the answer. In ther wrds, greater curisity mtivated peple t slw dwn, be patient and invest in experiencing the winding path t reslutin.
Learning new things can be tugh, but making use f curisity can help us enjy the prcess f learning and feel happy in vercming challenges.

(24-25高三上·湖北·階段練習(xí))Engineer Kerstin G?pfrich builds machines. But rather than building metal devices, she makes tiny nes t wrk inside ur cells. G?pfrich leads a research grup fcusing n the “engineering f life” at the Max Planck Institute fr Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany.
Our cells are already full f nature- made machines carrying ut the daily tasks f living. Many are prteins. But smetimes ur natural prtein- machines dn’t wrk right. Brken bimachinery causes many diseases, S scientists are cnsidering hw they might fix faulty prteins. They might wire up artificial nerves t replace damaged nes.
And the ptential fr such devices ges beynd making repairs. Scientists are lking at hw t give cells new abilities, hping that by develping enugh nvel bimachines, they might make new frms f life. S if a prtein is faulty, why nt make a new ne in the lab?
Back when Frankie Rawsn was a student, he asked his teachers that. Nw a nantechnlgist at the University f Nttingham in England, Rawsn has answered his wn questin, “It turns ut that we’ re nt very gd at artificially re- creating what bilgy des.”
Bilgists like Rawsn and G?pfrich fund a wrkarund. They’re creating nanmachines that d the same jbs as prteins. With the right design, these nanmachines can d s easier at less cst. They als can be mre stable using fewer ingredients.
T build them, researchers wrk with many types f materials. Rawsn uses carbn nantubes. G?pfrich even uses bilgical mlecules, such as DNA.Rather than heal ld r damaged bdy parts, she’d replace them with new nes.
Scientists have learned t make small synthetic (合成的) bilgy fixes. Our cells must wrk tgether. “Think f them like the wiring f a huse,” Rawsn says. Flip a switch, and a light turns n. That’s a big- scale effect. But each small piece in the system must wrk prperly t get that end effect.
What des the last paragraph mainly express?
A.The effect f prteins n ur bdy.B.The cmbinatin f the wiring f a huse.

(24-25高三上·山東濰坊·階段練習(xí))The cncepts f delayed satisfactin, self-cntrl, and self-regulatin are ften used interchangeably and incnsistently. The ability t delay an impulse (沖動) fr an immediate reward t receive a mre favrable reward at a later time is the standard definitin f delayed satisfactin.
Studies shw that delayed satisfactin is ne f the mst effective persnal characteristics f successful peple. Peple wh learn hw t manage their need t be satisfied in the mment develp mre in their careers, relatinships, health, and finances than peple wh give in t it.
Being able t delay satisfactin isn’t the easiest skill t acquire. It invlves feeling dissatisfied, which is why it seems impssible fr peple wh haven’t learned t cntrl their impulses. Chsing t have smething nw might feel gd, but making the effrt t have discipline and manage yur impulses can result in bigger r better rewards in the future. Over time, delayed satisfactin will imprve yur self-cntrl and ultimately help yu achieve yur lng-term gals faster.
The Seinfeld Strategy is ne f several helpful self-satisfactin techniques yu can use t put ff satisfactin fr lnger perids f time. Every day that yu delay satisfactin and avid temptatin (誘惑) , yu crss it ff yur calendar. After a few days, this creates a chain. This strategy wrks well fr peple wh enjy gamificatin (游戲化). If yu find it satisfying t keep the chain ging, yu’re less likely t give in t temptatin.
D yu find yurself ging back t yur temptatins withut thinking abut it?If this is the case, yu can practice mindfulness t becme mre aware f what yu d. When yu ntice yurself ding smething ut f habit, stp fr a mment. Ask yurself why yu’re ding what yu’re ding. Take sme time t analyze hw yu’re feeling. Pay attentin t the details. Take a mment f mindulness t interrupt yur autpilt every time this happens. The mre yu practice this, the mre yu’ll break the habit f ging fr instant satisfactin.
