24、A typical example of a morning person is thought to be someone who wakes up naturally at 6 am, exercises, has breakfast and is ready for a productive day at work by 9 am. Whereas an evening person hates to get up early in the morning and feels more productive in the evening. What’s behind the different chronotypes (睡眠类型) ?

Researchers have analyzed (分析) the relationship between chronotypes and personality traits. A large number of participants were asked to answer questionnaires about their sleep timings and personality. Opinions on the participants’ personality from those who knew them well were also collected. In this way, researchers were able to see the relationships between sleep and personality.

Researchers found that people high in conscientiousness (认真尽责) and low in openness were connected with having earlier chronotypes. They went to bed and got out of bed earlier. They also found that less straightforward and excitement-searching, yet more self-disciplined (自律的) people were more likely to have earlier chronotypes, too.

These findings have helped researchers come up with two possible pathways of how personality might influence chronotype. First, personality traits may influence people’s preferences for different social activities, which in turn, may influence what time people go to bed. For example, people who like searching for excitement might go to concerts and bars more often, which may keep them up later at night. The second possible way is through active decisions people make regarding their sleep. More self-disciplined people make decisions to sleep earlier as a healthy lifestyle choice. Other research has shown people high in self-discipline avoid behaviors that are harmful to their health.

“Although personality traits go through little change over time,” Professor Anu Realo, one of the researchers, says, “our findings suggest it might be possible to change your chronotype or at least train yourself into a different, more socially convenient sleep pattern by increasing your self-control.” Evening people who typically experience worse health could learn to go to bed earlier, or regularly turn off the lights at earlier hours, which might lead to falling asleep earlier and better health.

【1】Which of the following people is most likely to have an earlier chronotype?

A．Peter who often makes mistakes in his work and fails to report on time.

B．Tom who enjoys going to different concerts and parties to make friends.

C．Jane who goes running for an hour every day and hardly ever eats junk food.

D．Mary who is popular at school and prefers to tell others her thoughts directly.

【2】What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．The purpose of the research.

B．The background of the research.

C．The progress in the research method.

D．The analysis of the research findings.

【3】Why does the writer mention Professor Anu Realo’s words in Paragraph 5?

A．To explain how different personality traits influence people’s sleep timings.

B．To discuss why a morning person is more popular than an evening person.

C．To stress regularly turning off the lights at earlier hours is very important.

D．To show sleeping patterns could be changed by increasing self-discipline.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Personality Traits: Connections to Your Sleep Timing

B．Are Personality Traits Becoming Your Worst Enemy?

C．Personality Traits: Possible Solutions to Your Problems

D．Are Personality Traits Changing Your Ways of Thinking?

25、Most of us fear failure. However, without failure, progress would be impossible. In fact, the word success comes from the Latin succedere, meaning “to come after”. And what does success usually come after? Failure. It seems that one cannot exist without the other.

        Every failure-even the worst ones-helps us learn to do things differently in the future. “Learning from the past mistakes and making changes helped me to reach the top of Everest successfully,” says mountaineer Pete Athans, who has now reached the world’s highest peak (山峰) seven times.

        Failure   also   reminds   us   that   things   can   go   wrong-sometimes   with   terrible   results. Austrian   Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is the first woman to reach the top of all 14 of the world’s 8, 000-meter peaks without extra oxygen (氧气). In 2007, while climbing in Nepal, she was in an avalanche (雪崩). She survived, but two nearby Spanish climbers died. The experience taught Kaltenbrunner that no matter how prepared a person is, bad things can still happen. But Kaltenbrunner decided she had to learn from her experience and move on.

        Accepting failure is not easy for many, though. We are often reluctant to tell people that we are failures because our good name depends on success. However, things are slowly changing. In the past ten years, some scientific magazines-mostly in medicine-have published reports of failed experiments. The belief is that the science community can also learn from “negative’ results and that this can finally lead to positive outcomes.

        The business world already understands the value of negative results. Eli Lilly and Company has failure parties to study data about medicine that doesn't work.

        In fact, one of the business world’s most famous failures became one of its biggest successes. In the early 1990s, Apple Corporation created the Apple Newton. It was one of Apple’s biggest failures. However, Apple’s CEO,

        Steve Jobs, believed the product had potential (潜力) and he began to improve it. In time, this led to the creation of the iPhone and the iPad, two of the company’s most successful products.

        The story of the Apple Newton can teach us another important lesson about failure. There is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes. Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin. One truly cannot exist without the other.

【1】The writer writes Paragraph 2 and 3 mainly to ________.

A．show how bad things can become important lessons

B．tell us that it's possible for anyone to be successful

C．prove how bad things can happen in any situation

D．teach us what not to do when climbing mountains

【2】The underlined word “reluctant” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.

A．unable

B．unsure

C．unwilling

D．uninterested

【3】What is the passage mainly about? ________

A．An attitude towards failure.

B．The experience of success.

C．A difficult way to success.

D．The rewards of failure.

26、   Ray’s wedding (婚礼) was successful. Everyone seemed to have had a good time. All evening, no one looked after the gift table. Who would steal anything, Ray thought. But his best friend Aaron didn’t think so. He walked away regularly from other guests to check on the gift table, making sure no one suspicious (可疑的) was hanging around it.

Ray and Julia went on a three-week honeymoon right after the wedding. When they got back, they opened all the gifts and sent out thank you notes. But there was one problem. A married couple, Walt and Marry, had given nothing. This surprised Julia. Ray didn’t care if they hadn’t given a gift. He just needed to know whether to send a thank you note. Ray called Aaron.

Aaron asked Ray if he had looked everywhere for Walt’s gift. Had he called up the wedding site to see if anything had been left behind? Ray said that he had looked everywhere and made a lot of calls that were fruitless.

Ray didn’t know what to do. “What would you do?” Ray asked Aaron. Aaron said he would call Walt up and tell him the problem. “You can’t go wrong with simply being honest,” Aaron said.

Ray called Walt and told him the problem. Walt said that yes, he had given an envelope with $500 cash (现金) in it.

“$500?!” Ray said in surprise. “That’s a lot of cash, Walt!” Walt admitted that it was, but he had gotten a fat raise early that year and Ray’s wedding was the only one he’d been to in quite a while. Ray thanked him and also apologized, Walt told him that it was “only money.”

When Ray told Aaron about Walt’s gift, Aaron laughed. “The only thief at the wedding was Walt! I have already stopped playing cards with him because I caught him cheating. And it was only a $10 pot (赌注总额)! I’m sure I told you about that.”

“Yes, you did tell me,” Ray said. But, of course, he had to send Walt a thank you note anyway.

27、

Artificial intelligence(人工智能) or AI in short, is the science of giving computers and machines the ability to think and work like humans. AI scientists and engineers have developed a lot of cool technologies.

AI is catching up with the human ability to read faces fast. As a result, facial recognition(人脸识别) is used a lot in the world. Chinese police use this technology to find the criminals. Once they caught a criminal when he attended a concert. It also checks the ID of ride-hailing(网约车) drivers and lets people pay for things with a smile.

AI is also used in self-driving cars, which are believed to be the future of driving. Most drivers may wave(挥手) at passers-by to let them cross the street, but self-driving cars don’t have this ability. Car makers are testing a light signal system(信号光系统) to help them “speak” to humans. The system can show what self-driving cars will do. For example, if a driverless car is yielding(让路), it will show us two white lights side to side. A quick change in different lights tells passers-by that the car is about to speed up.

Service robots also show you how powerful AI is. Imagine this—you come back home from school and your robot housekeeper is waiting for you at the door. After dinner, he teaches you to play the piano, just like a real music teacher. Such thoughts will soon happen in the real world. In the future, more and more service robots will become good home helpers.

【1】According to Paragraph 2, facial recognition is used for ________.

A．driving cars

B．making people smile

C．checking people’s information

【2】How does a driverless car tell passers-by that it is about to speed up?

A．By waving to them.

B．By changing quickly in lighting.

C．By showing two lights side to side.

【3】Which technology has been used in real life according to the passage?

A．Service robots at school.

B．Robots as ride-hailing drivers.

C．Facial recognition for payment.

【4】What can we infer(推断) from the passage?

A．Life with AI will probably become easier in the future.

B．AI will take the place of human being in all jobs.

C．Self-driving cars will be able to talk like humans.

【5】What is the best title for the passage?

A．Service robots lead us to the future

B．Live with cool technologies of AI

C．Facial recognition changes people’s life
