B．Pleased.C．Puzzled. D．Disappointed.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Irealizedthatmybodyhadproducedawonder”可知，作者认为自己的身体孕育了一个奇迹。据此可以推断，作者应该会感到高兴。2．Intermsofbeingaparent,theauthordifferedfromherpeersinthat________.A．shehadtodealwithmorestressesfrombeingamomB．sheleftallthebabysittingworktoherhusbandC．shecombinedthenewidentitywithhercareerD．sheadoptedacreativemethodofraisingherbaby解析：选C推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可以推断，作者把妈妈这个角色和自己的本职工作结合了起来。3．WhatdidCrystal'sperformanceinthelibrarymaketheauthorthinkabout?A．Livingthesamefreelifeasherdaughter's.B．Givingperformanceinfrontofacrowd.C．Herpreviouslifebeforehavingthebaby.D．Purepleasureduring“baby－free”time.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第六段的内容，尤其是最后一句可知，作者看到女儿在图书馆跳舞的时候，她期待像女儿一样自由自在地生活。B(2023·吉林高三模拟)AccordingtoJimCoan,apsychologistfromtheUniversityofVirginia,holdinghandswithsomeoneyoutrustcanhaveapositiveeffectonyourhealth.Why?Researchershaveshownintheirstudiesthatthesimpleactoftouchcanreducestressandevenlowerheartrate.Inastudy,Jimandhiscolleaguesbroughtcouplesintothelab,andthenputoneoftheminanfMRImachinetoscantheactivityintheirbrains.Whilescanningthem,theparticipantslookedatascreen,andonaseriesoftests,theyeithersawagreencircleorared“X”.Agreencirclemeantthatthetestwouldendshortlyandnothingelsewouldhappen.Ared“X”meantthatinafewseconds,therewasachancethattheywouldreceiveamildelectricshockontheirleg.Theshockwasn'tpainful,butitwasn'texactlycomfortableeither.Duringsomeofthesetests,participantswereinthefMRIscanneralone;duringothers,aresearchercameinandheldtheirhand;andonafinalsetoftests,theirromanticpartnercameinandheldtheirhand.Jimandcolleaguesfoundthatwhenparticipantsthoughttheymightbegettingashock,theyhadalowerstressresponseintheirbrainswhenholdingtheirromanticpartner'shandthanintheothertwoconditions.Andthehappierthecouplessaidtheywereintheirrelationships,themoretheromanticpartner'shandlessened(减弱)thebrain'sresponsetotheshock.Thisstudysuggeststhatwhenwe'restressed,holdingalovedone'shandcanreducethatstress.Theresearchalsosuggeststhattouchhasimmediateandpositiveeffectsonbabies.Skin－to－skincontactcanreducecrying,stress,andimprovesleep.Theseeffectscanbelong－lasting：adults,heldalotwhentheywerebabies,arethemostlikelytobehealthyandwell－adjusted—infact,themoretheywerecarriedinbabyhood,thebettertheyadjustinadulthood.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了科学家的研究成果：来自信任的、亲近的人的触碰可以帮助缓解压力，对身体健康有积极作用。4．Howwouldaparticipantprobablyfeelwhenseeingared“X”？A．Nervous. B．Excited.C．Hopeful. D．Painful.解析：选A推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句及第三段第二句可知，伴随红“X”而来的电击会让参与者产生紧张及压力感，只不过握着爱人的手时这种反应会降低。5．Whydidresearchersdosetsoftestsinthestudy?A．Tomakesurethestudyresultsarecorrect.B．Tocomparebrainactivitiesindifferentcases.C．Totesttherelationshipsbetweencouples.D．TocheckthefunctionsofthefMRIscanner.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知，实验设计了不同情况，最后比较的是在不同情况下大脑的压力反应。由此可以推断出，多轮实验的目的是比较在不同情况下参与者大脑活动的情况。6．Accordingtothelastparagraph,whatmaythewriteragreewith?A．Babiesshouldbeheldandcarriedasmuchaspossible.B．Babies'problemscanbesolvedmainlybytouching.C．Theeffectsthattouchinghasonbabiesdon'tlastlong.D．Adultswhowerenotheldasbabiescan'tadjusttosociety.解析：选A推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，搂抱产生的影响持续的时间很长，婴儿时期被抱得越多，成年时期的调节能力就越好，所以作者会认可A项“应尽可能多抱抱婴儿”的观点。7．Whichofthefollowingmightbethemostsuitabletitleforthetext?A．TouchImprovesBrainFunctionB．TouchHappensEverywhereC．TouchHelpsFormGoodHabitsD．TouchMakesaBigDifference解析：选D标题归纳题。本文第一段说明研究结论：来自信任的人的触碰及拉手对健康有积极的影响；第二、三段介绍了研究的过程和发现：牵着爱人的手可以减少紧张感；第四段为研究的其他发现：触碰对婴儿的身心健康有长久影响。所以D项“触碰产生重大影响”最适合作为本文标题。Ⅱ.阅读七选五SimpleWaystoValueYourselfMoreSelf－valueistheactionthathelpsusmatchthatself－worth.Wecanalsothinkofself－valueasanotherfeedingelementofthebiggerumbrellatermofself－worth.__8__Acknowledgetheinnercritic.Weallhavethatloudinnervoicethatisn'talwayskind.Whenleftunchecked,theinnercriticcanhavedestructiveeffectsonourself－esteem.__9__Wrestingwiththiscriticisoftenalifelongjourney,butafirstgoodstepistoacknowledgeit.Whenyoucanpauseandacknowledgethatitiscallingtheshots,youcanlearntotakebackyourpowerandvalue.Receiveacompliment(称赞).We'resoafraidofcomingoffasneedythatwehardlyeverreceivethegoodwordssomeonesendsourway.Really,thetrueproblemhereisthatwedon'toftenbelievewe'reworthyofthecompliment!Thebeautifultruthhereisthatwedon'toftenseeourselvesinthesamewayothersseeus.__10__Begratefulforeffort.__11__Wedon'talwaysstoptoexaminejusthowmucheffortweputforthineverydayliving.Onewaytovalueyourselfmoreistobegratefulforeverythingyoudo.It'seasytobecriticalandwishyou'ddonebetter,butyou'realwaysdoingthebestthatyoucan.__12__Whenthingsdon'tgoasplanned,practiceforgiveness.Whenpeoplehurtyou,practiceforgiveness.Forgivenessisthefreeremedythatcanalleviatesomuchofoursufferingwhenweholdontobitterness.It'sworthyofimplementingitintooureverydaylife.A．Forgiveyourselfoften.B．Itoftenstopsustrustinginourselves.C．It'snotalwayseasytoshowuptolife.D．Thisisnoplaceforourself－worthtogrow.E．Practicepositiveconfirmationinthemirror.F．So,nexttimesomeonepraisesyou,receivetheirwordsfully.G．Valuingourselvesisshowninvariousways,manyofwhicharehighlightedbelow.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了让你更重视自己的简单方法。8．选G根据上文可知，自我重视是帮助我们匹配自我价值的行为；再根据下文中给出了让你更重视自己的简单方法可知，G项“重视自己的方式多种多样，下面重点介绍其中几种”能够承上启下，总领全文。9．选B根据上文可知，我们要控制自己内心对自我的批评，它可能会对我们的自尊产生破坏性影响。B项中的“It”指代上文中的“theinnercritic”，进一步指出自我评价对我们所产生的不好的影响。B项“它常常阻止我们相信自己”符合语境。10．选F根据本段的第一句可知，本段主要讲述重视自己的方法是接受别人的赞美。F项中的“praises”呼应主题。所以F项“所以，下次有人赞美你的时候，要充分接受他们的话”起到总结全段的作用。11．选C根据上下文可知，生活并不容易，在生活中展现自己也不总是那么容易。我们不能总是停下来检查我们在日常生活中付出了多少努力。所以要学会感恩，感谢自己所付出的努力。C项“在生活中展现自己并不总是那么容易”符合语境。12．选A根据下文可知，本段主要讲述事情没有按计划进行时，我们要学会宽恕。A项中的“Forgive”符合本段的主题。所以A项“经常原谅自己”适合作本段的主题句。Ⅲ.完形填空Weallstrivetoaccomplishourgoalsbeforeoldagecatchesupwithus.ButforoneSanDiegowoman,thelossofher__13___isfarfromabarrier.TwodaysafterThanksgivingLauraSimonturns106,andshe'sstillsettinggoalsforherself.“Thesecrettoherlongevity，”shesays,“istoliveas__14__asyoucanandtowork.”Simon__15__oneofherbiggestgoalswhensheturned100:She__16__abook,titledIAmStillHere.Simon'spooreyesightpreventedherfrom__17__writing,soshedictatedherbookintoataperecorderovernineyears.“I'mvery__18__ofthisbook，”Simonsaid.Thebook's500pagesare__19__bydozensofblack－and－whitephotos.Herpaintingsarealsothroughoutthebook.Itwasonlyrecentlywhenitwas__20__forhertocontinuethatSimonstoppedpainting.“Mypaintingscomefromtheverydepthofmybeing，”Simonsaid.“Itgivesmelifeand__21__.”Asforherrecent__22__？ShesaidshewantedtobeintheLibraryofCongress.AndSimondidmorethan__23__ittotheLibraryofCongress.Herpublisher__24__herthatsheisoneoftheoldest__25__authorswithabookinthenation'slibrary.“Therestoftheauthorsareallgone,fromthetimeofWashington.Andmybookiswithallthesegreatbooks，”Simonsaid,beaming.“...asmytitlesaysonthebook,Iamstillhere.”Positiveattitudeabout__26__hasgottenSimonfar.“AlthoughI'mgoingtobe106yearsoldwithinthenextweek,I'mmuch__27__inspiritandmoreactiveinthedepthofmythinking.”Simonsaid.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了106岁高龄的劳拉·西蒙在100岁的时候实现了她最大的目标之一：她出版了一本书，名为《我还在这里》，成为在世的最年长的作家之一。13．A.wealth
