(2020·昆明高三诊断)Who’re happier, men or women? Research shows it’s a complex question and that asking whether males or females are happier isn’t really that helpful, because basically, happiness is different for women and men.
Women’s happiness has been declining for the past 30 years, according to recent statistics. And research shows that women are twice as likely to experience depression compared with men. Gender(性别) differences in depression are well confirmed and studies have found that biological, psychological and social factors contribute to the difference.
Early studies on gender and happiness found men and women were socialized to express different feelings. Women are more likely to express happiness, warmth and fear, which help with social bonding and appear more consistent with the traditional role as a primary caregiver, while men display more anger, pride and disrespect, which are more consistent with a protector and provider role.
Recent research suggests that these differences are not just socially, but also genetically related. Studies have looked into these findings further and discovered that females use more areas of the brain containing mirror neurons(镜像神经元) than males when they process feelings. Mirror neurons allow us to experience the world from other people’s view, to understand their actions and intentions. This may explain why women can experience deeper sadness. Women tend to experience more negative feelings, such as more guilt, shame and to a lesser degree, embarrassment.
Psychologically it seems men and women differ in the way they process and express feelings. With the exception of anger, women experience feelings more strongly and share their feelings more openly with others. Studies have found in particular that women express more appreciation—which has been linked to greater happiness. This supports the theory that women’s happiness is more dependent on relationships than men’s.

(2020·贵阳监测)You try to keep your eyes wide open while watching a basketball match or a wonderful firework show in case you might miss something exciting in just the blink of an eye. But in fact, humans blink about 15 times per minute on average. Have you ever missed anything because you blinked? Probably not. Why is that?
According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September, our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink. It can keep visual information for a short period of time and then put it together to form an image without interruption.
In order to understand how this works, a group of scientists at the German Primate Center and the University Medical Center Go·· ttingen in Germany conducted an experiment. In the study, the participants were asked to look at patterns on a screen
9
whose direction could be interpreted in different ways, such as horizontally(水平地) or vertically(垂直地). When one pattern was about to disappear and the next one was about to come, the participants had to indicate the direction that the next pattern would appear.
The researchers found that when the directions of two patterns didn’t match, the area in our brain which is responsible for visual memory was activated. This same area showed less activity when two patterns were in the same direction.
“The medial prefrontal cortex(额叶皮层) adjusts current visual information with previously obtained information, and thus enables us to perceive the world with more stability, even when we briefly close our eyes to blink,” Caspar Schwiedrzik explained in Science Daily. He is the first author of the study and also a scientist at the German Primate Center.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。研究发现,眨眼并不会错过细节并解释了其原因。
5.We don’t miss anything when blinking because our brain can ________.
A.deal with the missing image
B.remember all that we see
C.imagine what our eyes miss
D.put our pieces of memory together
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September, our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink.”可知,根据九月份发表在《当代生物学》杂志上的一项新研究,我们的大脑有能力跳过我们眨眼时形成的暂时黑暗。据此可推知,由于我们的大脑能处理丢失的图像,所以眨眼不会让我们错过任何东西,故A项正确。
6.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Our brain.
B.Visual information.
C.Current Biology.
D.The temporary darkness.
B 解析:代词指代题。根据第二段第二句“It can keep visual information for a short period of time and then put it together to form an image without interruption.”可知,大脑可以在短时间内保存视觉信息,然后将其组合在一起形成不中断的图像,故可推知,it指代上文中的“visual information”,故B项正确。
7.What do we know about the experiment?
A.The two patterns appear at the same time.
9
B.Visual memory can be more activated by similarity.
C.Participants can interpret patterns differently.
D.The different directions activated visual memory.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“...when the directions of two patterns didn’t match, the area in our brain which is responsible for visual memory was activated. This same area showed less activity when two patterns were in the same direction.”可知,当两个模式的方向不一致时,掌握视觉记忆的大脑区域被激活;当两种模式在同一个方向时,这个区域显示出较少的活动。据此可知,不同的方向能激活视觉记忆,故D项正确。
8.What would be the best title for this passage?
A.The Brain’s Structure
B.The Brain’s Activated Patterns
C.The Brain’s Special Skill
D.The Brain’s Orientation
C 解析:标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了一个科学研究。研究表明,眨眼不会错过细节并解释了其原因,即大脑有能力在短时间内保存视觉信息,然后将其组合在一起形成不中断的图像信息。故C项最适合作本文的标题。
【难句分析】 You try to keep your eyes wide open while watching a basketball match or a wonderful firework show in case you might miss something exciting in just the blink of an eye.
分析:该句为主从复合句,句中“while watching a basketball match or a wonderful firework show”为while引导的时间状语从句,其中省略了you are; “in case you might miss something exciting in just the blink of an eye”为in case引导的条件状语从句。
译文:在观看篮球比赛或精彩的烟花表演时,你努力睁大眼睛,以防转眼之间错过一些令人兴奋的事情。

Ⅲ.短文改错
(2020·深圳第一次调研)I have a dream to be a doctor. Three years ago, I am badly injured in car accident. The ambulance rushed me to the nearest hospital, that the doctors and nurses did their best to look after myself. Five days late, I was getting better. I watched the doctors to perform their duties tirelessly but offer all their patients the best treatment available. My experience in that hospital great influenced me. Since then, I have made it my life’s ambition to fight against diseases and save life. I know my dream will come true if I keep work hard for it.
答案:
I have a dream to be a doctor. Three years ago, I badly injured in car accident. The ambulance rushed me to the nearest hospital, the doctors and nurses did their best to look after . Five days , I was getting better. I watched the doctors perform their duties tirelessly offer all their patients the best treatment available. My experience in that hospital influenced me. Since then, I have made it my life’s ambition to fight against diseases and save . I know my dream will come true if I keep hard for it.
①am改为was。根据本句中的时间状语Three years ago可知,时态应用一般过去时。故将am改为was。
②在car前加a。此处泛指一次车祸,且accident为可数名词。故在car前加a。
③that改为where。分析句子结构可知,本句为非限制性定语从句,先行词为the nearest hospital,表示地点,关系词在从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where,故将that改为where。
④myself改为me。此处表示医生和护士尽最大努力照顾“我”。此处作look after的宾语,应用宾格,主语和宾语并非同一人,不能用反身代词。故将myself改为me。
⑤late改为later。句意:五天后,我好多了。late意为“晚(的);迟(的)”,later意为“随后;之后”。根据句意可知,此处应用later。故将late改为later。
⑥删除to。watch sb. do sth.为固定搭配,意为“看某人做某事”。此处指作者在医院时看到医生们不知疲倦地履行他们的职责。故删除to。
⑦but改为and。句意:我看到医生们不知疲倦地履行他们
9
的职责并为所有病人提供可行的最佳治疗(方案)。offer all their patients the best treatment available和前面的perform their duties tirelessly是并列关系,而非转折关系。故将but改为and。
⑧great改为greatly。句中的influenced是动词,应用副词来修饰,故此处应用greatly,表示“非常;十分;极大地”。故将great改为greatly。
⑨life改为lives。句意:从那以后,我把与疾病抗争和拯救生命作为自己的人生理想。此处“拯救生命”并非指一个人的生命,应用复数形式。故将life改为lives。
⑩work改为working。keep doing sth.为固定搭配,意为“继续做某事”。故将work改为working。
