A new T- shirt that cntinuusly mnitrs heart activity and detects abnrmalities may help prevent strkes by identifying dangerus heart cnditins like atrial fibrillatin (AF). This irregular heart rhythm increases the risk f strke and affects ver a millin- peple in Britain, with an estimated 500,000 mre remaining undiagnsed due t a lack f nticeable symptms. While sme individuals experience signs like chest pain, dizziness, r fatigue, many nly discver the cnditin after suffering a strke.
Detecting AF typically invlves an electrcardigram (ECG), perfrmed in a hspital where trained staff attach up t 24 electrdes t different parts f the bdy. Hwever, since AF ften ccurs intermittently (间歇地), a shrt hspital check- up may nt detect it. T cunter this, dctrs smetimes prvide patients with a Hlter mnitr, a device wrn under clthing that recrds heart activity. Hwever, it’s bulky, incnvenient, and requires multiple wires t be attached t the chest, making it uncmfrtable fr daily wear.
The Cardiskin T- shirt ffers a mre practical alternative. Made frm cttn and washable up t35 times, it has15 small electrdes wven int the chest area t mnitr heart signals cntinuusly. The T- shirt can be wrn 24 hurs a day, increasing the likelihd f detecting abnrmal rhythms. Pwered by a remvable battery, the electrdes feed data t a micrchip, which wirelessly transmits the infrmatin t an app. The app cnverts the data int an easy- t- read chart, highlighting any irregular heart activity. The results are then shared with the patient’s dctr, allwing fr remte mnitring withut requiring hspital visits. This innvative design culd make diagnsing AF easier and mre accessible, ptentially reducing the risk f strke fr many.

【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段的“It has been five years since I left my staff jb and became self-emplyed. I remember my terrr as I walked ut f the ffice fr the last time and the excitement when I sld my first piece days later. Wrking fr yurself, setting yur wn hurs and being respnsible fr yur success r failure are exciting. I left my jb just as summer was starting, and my first few mnths were as blissful as the fair days.(自从我离开我的员工工作成为个体户已经五年了。我还记得最后一次走出办公室时的恐惧，以及几天后卖出第一件作品时的兴奋。为自己工作，设定自己的时间，对自己的成功或失败负责，这些都是令人兴奋的。夏天刚开始，我就离开了我的工作，我的头几个月就像晴天一样blissful。)”可知，作者做自由职业者的初始几个月是很顺利的，因此心情很愉快。blissful意为“快乐的，愉悦的”，与Pleasant意思一致。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“When winter came, an ffice where smene else paid fr the central heating and my salary was guaranteed seemed attractive. January is tugh fr freelancers, and it was n different fr me — after masses f wrk, I earned nne.(当冬天来临的时候，一间由别人支付中央供暖费用并保证我的工资的办公室似乎很有吸引力。一月对于自由职业者来说是艰难的，对我来说也一样——在做了大量的工作之后，我一无所获。)”可知，作者在1月的冬天遭遇了挫折，做了大量的工作之后一无所获，甚至挣不到足够的钱来维持供暖这样的日常基本生活开支。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Dn’t quit yur jb fr smething that yu think might be mre interesting, quit it fr smething yu can’t stp thinking abut.(不要因为你认为可能更有趣的事情而辞职，要因为你无法停止思考的事情而辞职。)”可知，作者认为辞职去找一份新工作是因为心中放不下自己想做的事情，即要去追求我们真正渴望的东西。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Finally, enjy it. Freedm is yurs and, if yu can make it wrk, there is nthing better.(最后，享受它。自由是你的，如果你能让它发挥作用，那就再好不过了。)”可知，作者对从事自由职业持支持态度。故选B。

Many philsphers and psychlgists have argued that empathy (共情) is a natural characteristic, hard-wired int ur genes and brains. The reasning ges that each f us has a “level” f empathy and—like ur adult height—we’re stuck there fr life. This is all well and gd if yu’re already empathetic, but als means that if yu struggle with empathy, yu’ll never imprve n matter hw hard yu try.
Thankfully, this view is incmplete. Thrugh the right practices, such as diverse friendships and even fictin reading, we can grw ur empathy n purpse. Empathy is smething like a muscle: left unused, it weakens; put t wrk, it grws.
N emtin is always useful, and that ges fr empathy as well. This is especially true fr nurses, dctrs and ther caregivers. These individuals are driven t their wrk by a deep desire t help thers. Patients f empathetic dctrs are mre satisfied with their care. Hwever, when healthcare prfessinals care t much, they are at high risk f burnut, tiredness and depressin frm ver-empathizing with thers’ suffering.
Sme psychlgists, including myself, are nw explring hw peple in these prfessins might empathize in mre sustainable ways. Fr example, empathetic cncern-—feeling fr smene—is distant frm emtinal empathy—feeling as smene else des. If they can develp cncern instead, fr example, they can care withut falling apart.
In anther set f studies cnducted with Carl Dweek, a Stanfrd prfessr f psychlgy, we fund that merely believing empathy is a skill that can be develped inspired peple t try harder at it. Fr instance, peple wh were encuraged t have a “grwth mindset” arund empathy, as cmpared t a fixed mindset, spent mre time listening t the suffering f smene f anther race and mre energy twards trying t understand the pinins f smene frm a different part f the plitical divide.
12. What view d many philsphers and psychlgists have abut empathy?
A. It grws when practiced ften.
B. It is a result f individual experiences.
C. It is inbrn and difficult t develp.
D. It varies depending n ne’s upbringing.
13. What des the authr suggest dctrs d?
A. Develp their emtinal empathy.
B. Try t erase their patients’ cncern.
C. Care fr their patients as much as pssible.
D. Wrk n imprving their empathetic cncern.
14. Based n Carl Dweek’s studies in which situatin are peple willingly empathetic?
A. If they believe that empathy is flexible.
B. If they are given enugh attentin.
C. If they listen t the identical plitical views.
D. If they suffer racial discriminatin.
15. In which unit f a textbk des the text mst likely appear?
A. Understanding yurself mre.B. Feeling fr thers.
C. Explring genes and emtins.D. Repairing brken relatinships.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文，主要讲的是与他人共情是一种十分重要的促进人际关系的能力。然而，长久以来，共情能力被认为是天生的，由基因决定，一成不变。作为一名心理学家，作者认为，共情能力可以在后天通过多种方式进行培养。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Many philsphers and psychlgists have argued that empathy (共情) is a natural characteristic, hard-wired int ur genes and brains.(许多哲学家和心理学家认为，同理心是一种自然特征，根植于我们的基因和大脑中。)”和“This is all well and gd if yu’re already empathetic, but als means that if yu struggle with empathy, yu’ll never imprve n matter hw hard yu try.(如果你已经有同理心，这一切都很好，但也意味着如果你在同理心方面挣扎，无论你多么努力，你都永远不会提高。)”可知，许多哲学家和心理学家对移情的看法是这是天生的，很难培养。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Hwever, when healthcare prfessinals care t much, they are at high risk f burnut, tiredness and depressin frm ver-empathizing with thers’ suffering.(然而，当医疗保健专业人员过于关心时，他们很有可能因过度同情他人的痛苦而感到倦怠、疲倦和抑郁。)”可知，护士、医生和其他医护人员极有可能因为过度共情他人的痛苦而面临倦怠、疲劳和抑郁的风险。再根据第四段中的“Fr example, empathetic cncern-feeling fr smene—is distant frm emtinal empathy—feeling as smene else des. If they can develp cncern instead, fr example, they can care withut falling apart.(例如，移情关怀——对某人的感觉——与情感移情——像别人一样的感觉是有距离的。例如，如果他们能培养出关心，他们就能在不崩溃的情况下关心他人。)”可知，作者建议医护人员努力提高他们的同理心。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In anther set f studies cnducted with Carl Dweek, a Stanfrd prfessr f psychlgy, we fund that merely believing empathy is a skill that can be develped inspired peple t try harder at it.(在与斯坦福大学心理学教授Carl Dweek进行的另一组研究中，我们发现，仅仅相信同理心是一种可以培养的技能，就能激励人们更加努力地去做这件事。)”可知，如果他们相信同理心是灵活的，人们就会心甘情愿地移情。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Thrugh the right practices, such as diverse friendships and even fictin reading, we can grw ur empathy n purpse. Empathy is smething like a muscle: left unused, it weakens; put t wrk, it grws.(通过正确的做法，比如不同的友谊，甚至小说阅读，我们可以有意地培养我们的同理心。同理心就像一块肌肉：如果不使用，它会变弱；投入工作，它就会成长。)”可知，文章就同理心展开讨论，同理心是一种对他人的情感产生共鸣或表现出共情和同理心的能力，因此本文最可能出现在教科书的对他人的感觉这个单元，故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Getting negative feedback never feels gd. In fact, it pretty much always sucks. Even thugh it feels bad, cnstructive feedback is meant t help us grw and imprve. Here are sme strategies that can help yu use negative feedback cnstructively, leading t psitive change.

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些帮助你建设性地利用负面反馈，导致积极的变化的策略。
【16题详解】
根据本段内容“Yur instinct may be t get upset r justify yurself instantly, but it’s imprtant t remain as prfessinal as pssible in the mment. Even when yur criticizer is factually wrng, the respnse “Yu’re wrng!” wn’t ever be helpful. The key is t listen withut planning yur reply. Simply nd until the ther persn has cmpletely finished.(你的本能可能会让你心烦意乱，或者立刻为自己辩护，但在那一刻尽可能保持专业是很重要的。即使批评你的人实际上是错的，“你错了!”这句话不会有任何帮助。关键是倾听而不是计划你的回答。只要点头，直到对方完全说完)”可知，本段的主旨是避免在收到批评时，立刻为自己辩护，即防御性反应。故A选项“避免防御性的反应”符合语境，故选A。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Recgnize the gd intentins. Remember, the peple wh will give yu tugh feedback are the peple wh really care abut yur success. Peple wh tell yu nly what they knw yu want t hear dn’t really care abut yu.(认识到良好的意图。记住，给你严厉反馈的人是真正关心你成功的人。那些只告诉你他们知道你想听的话的人并不是真的关心你)”可知，上文提到了给你严厉反馈的人是真正关心你的人，故本句与上文构成因果关系，指出应该感谢这些人。故G选项“所以，与其消极地回应，不如感谢那些关心你的人给你诚实的反馈”符合语境，故选G。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Dn’t let it harm yur cnfidence. Whatever yu d, dn’t allw negative feedback t destry yur self-esteem.(不要让它伤害你的信心。无论你做什么，都不要让负面的反馈毁掉你的自尊)”以及后文“Whatever went wrng wn’t define yu frever if yu apply the feedback cnstructively and use it t yur advantage.(如果你建设性地运用反馈并将其转化为你的优势，那么无论什么错误都不会永远定义你)”可知，上文提到了无论做什么，都不要让负面反馈毁掉你的自尊，故本句说明负面反馈时有发生，故F选项“始终如一地做好每件事几乎是不可能的”符合语境，故选F。

【语篇解读】本文是说明文。讲述了由于气候变化，我们海洋的颜色正在发生变化。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：在过去的20年里，低纬度的海洋变得更加绿色。分析句子结构可知，本句缺少谓语，所以becme作本句谓语，根据时间状语Over the past 20 years，应该用现在完成时，主语是lw-latitude ceans为复数。故填have becme。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：众所周知，燃烧化石燃料导致的全球气温上升正在给我们的海洋带来巨大变化，从海平面上升、风暴加剧到海水酸化。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词are making，所以drive用非谓语形式，根据空后的by应该用过去分词表被动。故填driven。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：美国宇航局的一颗名为Aqua的卫星刚刚在5月庆祝了它的21岁生日，这使它成为仍在运行的最长的太空探测器之一。分析句子结构可知，satellite为可数名词，句中用的单数，前应用不定冠词修饰，NASA为辅音音素开头，用a修饰，位于句首，应大写。故填A。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：它收集了很多关于海洋颜色的数据，这实际上是一个重要的气候变量，可以反映海洋生态系统的变化。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰句子，应该用副词修饰。故填actually。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：在分析数据后，研究人员发现，平均而言，我们的海洋正在变得更加绿色，大约56%的海洋表面发生了重大变化。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配：n average意为“平均起来”。故填n。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：研究结果表明，气候变化的影响已经在表层海洋微生物生态系统中感受到，但这些影响尚未被探测到。分析句子结构可知，空前是冠词，所以空处应填名词作主语，根据suggest没有三单形式，所以应该用复数形式。故填results。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意：研究结果表明，气候变化的影响已经在表层海洋微生物生态系统中感受到，但这些影响尚未被探测到。根据前文“the effects f climate change are already being felt in surface marine micrbial (微生物) ecsystems”以及后文“thse effects have nt yet been detected.”两句间是转折关系，用but连接。故填but。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：因此，研究结果可能对海洋保护和管理有用。分析句子结构可知，空处和后文的management并列，一起作宾语，cnserve的名词形式是cnservatin。故填cnservatin。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：例如，了解海洋表面微生物生态系统正在发生变化的地方，可能有助于确定开放海洋的区域，以建立海洋保护区。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是places，在从句中作地点状语，用where引导。故填where。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，了解海洋表面微生物生态系统正在发生变化的地方，可能有助于确定开放海洋的区域，以建立海洋保护区。分析句子结构可知。本句已有谓语动词might be，所以set用非谓语形式，此处表目的，应该用不定式形式。故填t set。
