A
Eggs-perimenting with eggs
What can you do with eggs other than eat them?
Naked Eggs
What does an egg look like without its shell? You may be picturing the white and yolk in a bowl after cracking
it, but that isn't the only way to remove the shell.
Materials: an egg, white vinegar, a bowl, a spoon
Directions: Fill a bowl with one cup of vinegar. Add the egg to the bowl, and wait at least 24 hours. When you
check it after a day, you'll notice some bubbles on the egg and a residue(残留物) in the water Use the spoon to
gently remove the egg from the bowl. Dump out the old vinegar, and add a cup of fresh vinegar. Return the egg to
the bowl, and wait another 24 hours. When you remove the egg this time, the shell should be completely dissolved.
What remains will be the contents of the egg.
Walking on Eggshells
Can eggs hold the weight of your entire body?
Materials: six cartons(硬纸盒) of eggs, a garbage bag
Directions: Place the garbage bag on the floor to make any necessary clean up easier. Place the cartons of apps
into two rows of three. Make sure all the eggs are pointing in the same direction either
all pointy end up or all rounded end up. Step onto the first carton of eggs carefully. Make sure your foot is as
flat as possible and that you are distributing your weight evenly. If you're careful, you will succeed. Eggs are actually
incredibly strong. The arch shape at the top and the bottom of the egg allows pressure to be distributed evenly over
the egg. If you were to place the eggs on their sides instead, you'd be likely to wind up with a gooey (胶粘的) mess.
1. In the first experiment, what causes the eggshell to dissolve?
高三级英语试题 第 1 页(共 7 页)

2. What makes the eggs strong enough to walk across?
A. The distribution of eggs.
B. The number of eggs.
C. The weight of eggs.

B. To tell readers some ways to experiment with eggs.
C. To entertain readers with funny use for eggs.
D. To inspire readers to conduct experiments carefully.
B
| Growing up on a farm, I learned from my parents about the large bees we called mangangava. But in college
when I gave a presentation about those bees, I didn't mention their familiar name; instead I used formal terms when
describing their adaptations for pollinating(授 粉 ). I was afraid of being judged for expressing my personal
knowledge in a science class. But when the instructor pressed me to tell the class whether I'd seen the bees myself
and what I called them, my views and my whole career path began to change. I realized my background was valuable,
and that my calling was to help educate others like me.
My parents work ed on a small farm and I often helped out when I was not in school. They had a close
relationship with nature, something they learned from my grandparents and passed down to me. This was why I
became interested in biology.
In college, I joined a series of labs to gain research experience, but my interest in pursuing a career as a scientist
began to wane after I realized my research was not helping poor people like my parents As a black student from a
rural community, I also felt out of place in most classes. The feeling of not belonging circled in my head. I sometimes
thought about giving up.
My instructor's request that I share my knowledge of the mangangava bee changed my view. She saw that
tapping into my personal experiences would help me grasp the scientific concepts. No other professor bad shown
that kind of sensitivity, which helped me realize I did have a place in higher education and that I didn't need to hide
who I truly am.
. I'm now a master's student in education, working on a project that explores the connect ion between science
and traditional knowledge. I don't think I'd be here if I hadn't crossed paths with my instructor. We ne ed more
educators and scientists like her people who can serve as role models and know that the best way to nurture new
scientists is to allow students to be themselves.
4. What did the author initially think of his background when in college?
A. It was of little use for his college studies.
B. It motivated him to carry on his research.
C. It gave him an advantage over others.
D. It was something he wanted to hide.
5. What does the underlined word “wane” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. remain B. advance C. fade D. rise

6. What should a good educator do according to the author?
A. Value students' personal knowledge and views.
B. Inspire students to work as hard as he or she does.
C. Treat students from different backgrounds equally.
D. Be equipped with rich knowledge of a certain field.
7. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The family is one of the nature's masterpieces.
B. Every man is the architect of his own fortune.
C. A good teacher is better than ten thousand books.
D. Good habits formed at youth make all the difference.

Most of us spend our lives surrounded by screens, which offer us convenience as well as connection and an
ocean of information. But since it's easy to feel pressured to keep up with every notification, technology may feel
more like a burden than a blessing. Thus, the idea of “digital detox” is becoming increasingly inviting.
The phrase “digital detox” describes getting rid of TV, phones, computers and other forms of technology that
control our lives for a period of time. Some experts advocate completely avoiding unnecessary screen time for 30
years. Others suggest using an app that will limit the amount of time one can spend on certain websites. A third
option is logging out in evenings or on weekends. Others simply turn their phones off at scheduled times. Some
even pay high prices to take vacations in places where they can unplug from their digital routine.
Why might you want to take a digital detox? Perhaps you find that you are spending longer than you intend on
certain apps or that they distract you from more important things. Perhaps social media is depressing because you
compare yourself to others or you fear missing out on things that other people are enjoying. Constant negative news
can also give rise to a lot of stress.
Technology can also have physical effects. Many people experience back or neck pain as a result of bending
over screens. The blue light coming from most screens can also affect people's sleep by preventing production of
melatonin(褪黑素).
Giving up all screens may not be realistic, but strategic breaks from technology may be good for your body,
mind, emotions and relationships. It is high time that you picked a time to turn off your devices and focus on really
important things.
8. Why does the author say “technology may feel more like a burden than a blessing ” in paragraph 1?
A. To confirm a concept.
B. To explain a rule.
C. To present a problem.
D. To make a prediction.
9. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. Forms of getting rid of “digital detox”.
B. Suggestions of practicing “digital detox”.
C. Ways of avoiding screen time completely.
D. Options of unplugging all digital routine.
10. Which could be the reason for one to start “digital detox”?
高三级英语试题 第 3 页(共 7 页)
A. Pressure from social comparison.
B. Fear of missing important things.
C. Exposure to false news.
D. Apps selection difficulty.
11. Which section of the website may this article come from?
A. Entertainment. B. Technology . C. Health. D. Education.
D
Many of the psychological benefits of outdoor play arc already well established. Our brains evolved in natural
landscapes, and our perceptual(感知的) systems are particularly well suited to wild outdoor spaces.
This means that natural scenes provide the perfect level of stimulation, which is thought to help recharge the
brain when it is tired and easily distractible. Supporting this theory, one study found that children with attention-
deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) were better able to concentrate following a 20-minute walk in the park,
compared to a 20-minute walk on the streets of a well-kept urban area. Being exposed to grass and trees seemed to
have had a beneficial effect on their minds. The authors recommended using such “doses(剂量) of nature” as a safe
and accessible way of supporting children with ADHD, alongside other tools.
Besides these restorative effects, outdoor play can offer valuable learning experiences. For example, playing
with mud or sand can help children develop the way their senses and movement interact, which allows the child to
gradually understand his or her body signals.
Such activities away from the house or classroom may also help children to find ways to cope with emotions
that may be hard to explore in other environments. So-called “sand tray therapy” which involves using sand and
clay to express one's thoughts and feelings, is an accepted form of counselling for children who are struggling to
verbalize their emotional state.
When it comes to the child's physical health, the most obvious advantage of outdoor play may be the exercise.
A child may find it easier to build up strength and endurance in a large open space resulting in a reduced risk of
overweight, according to one study led by Elizabeth Gershoff, professor of human development and family sciences
at the University of Texas at Austin, US.
The latest findings, however, suggest there could be a host of other advantages to playing in natural
environments ——and the secret may be alive in the mud itself.
12. What's the function of the first paragraph?
A. To present the evolution of our brains.
B. To display the natural landscapes.
C. To introduce the perceptual systems.
D. To reveal the well-established benefits.
13. How does the study show that natural scenes provide the perfect level of stimulation?
A. By comparing the restorative effects of walking in different settings.
B. By recommending applying some “doses of nature” to children.
C. By allowing children to gradually understand their bodies' signals.
D. By helping children to find ways to cope with the environment.
14. Whom is “sand tray therapy” most beneficial to?
高三级英语试题 第 4 页(共 7 页)
A. Jack, a boy who can't concentrate in the class .
B. Mary, a girl who needs to go on a dict.
C. Lily, a girl who is lack of endurance.
D. Tom, a boy who lives in his own world.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Playing in the mud is the best outdoor exercise.
B. Playing outdoors brings many unexpected benefits.
C. Playing outdoors can cure children with ADHD.
D. Playing in the mud reduces the risk of overweight.
