20、ticipants different social identities 高三英语试卷 第 4 页（共 10 页）B Working at a bank in New York City in the mid-2010s,Anna Sacks was living the lifejust not the life she wanted.Sure,she was happy.But she wanted to do something that felt important.Some people seeking meaning might read a self-help book or

21、perhaps volunteer a few hours a week.Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut to participate in Adamah,a farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food.When she returned to New York,her life was with a new purpose and a variety of new skills to make her drea

22、ms a reality.“One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah was how little waste they produced and how they handled the waste they did have,primarily through composting(堆肥),”she says.“And I just thought,Why arent we doing that here?”The Adamah program opened Sacks eyes to the damage consum

23、er culture is doing on a local,national,and global level,and the need to find solutions.So in 2017,she began what she calls“trash walking”.During tours around her community,Sacks picks through garbage to look for reusable items.Soon,her“trash walking”expanded to include corporate trash along with re

24、sidential trash.Surprisingly,she discovered a wide range of really great stufflike clothing,decorations,and foodall of which she documents on TikTok.Under the name The Trash Walker,Sacks quickly gained popularity for her videos that highlight the problems with consumerism.“The root issue is overprod

25、uction,which leads to overconsumption,which leads to a large amount of waste,”she says.The fact is,companies often choose to trash items rather than give them away to people who might need them.A big reason for this waste is the way our current tax laws are structured,Sacks says.Sellers who destroy

26、goods can claim the cost as a loss on their taxes and be refunded.If they give away goods,they can claim only a small amount as a charitable reduction on their taxes.Sacks main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away.“Once you becom

27、e aware of the way you consume,you can see ways you improve,”she says.24.Anna Sacks packed up her life and left New York to _.A.lead a healthy lifestyle B.observe how to grow food C.pursue a meaningful life D.volunteer to work in a bank 25.What impressed Anna Sacks most about the Adamah program?A.Th

29、erproduction.27What can we learn from Anna Sacks story?A.Consumer culture accounts for wasting.B.Corporate trash outweighs residential trash.C.Trash walking is the key to becoming wealthy.D.Turning to farming leads to sustainable living.C We often think of fingerprints as the tiny arched patterns on

30、 the tip of each finger.They are regarded as special markers of human identity,even more individualized than DNA.But new research suggests our brains have“fingerprints”that are equally unchanging and unique to each person.With modern neuroimaging(神经影像)techniques,scientists can track your brains dist

31、inct signature composed of tens of thousands of electrical signals that communicate across the brain.The final product is a picture of brains electrical activity that is detailed,distinct and difficult to change.According to Zack Y.Shan,head of the neuroimaging platform at the Thompson Institute,“Th

32、e brain is a symphony orchestra(交响乐团).”Each region plays a unique instrument and adapts to work with nearby tunes at the same time.This cooperation leads to our thoughts and actions.“And no two symphonies sound exactly alike,”Shan adds.A recent study published in Sleep maps the extent of this neurod

33、iversity through EEG snapshots(脑电图快照),which describe the sleeping brains electrical activity as wavy lines.Led by Michael Prerau,a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School,the researchers analyzed brainwave data of sleep spindles,one to two seconds evident neural activity associated with our

34、ability to turn short-term memories into long-term memories.For Dara S.Manoach,a co-author of the Sleep study and professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School,the sleeping brain is a“new frontier”for studying the treatment of memory problems in neurological disorders.She notes that lack of slee

35、p spindle activities has been linked to different mental diseases like epilepsy and Alzheimers disease.So,the researchers compared two nights of sleep recordings from healthy participants to those with Alzheimers disease.Their analysis revealed that their broadened approach to analyzing sleep spindl

36、es also could unearth new biological indicators for Alzheimers disease.“Its a first step to better understanding how the disorder operates and developing targeted treatments,”Manoach says.Moreover,brain fingerprints may offer inspirations that traditional therapeutic(治疗性的)observation cant.Patients w

37、ith different diseases can have similar symptoms.“Thats where 高三英语试卷 第 6 页（共 10 页）neuroimaging comes into play.Brain fingerprints are windows into distinguishing between two patients who seem identical,”explains Dan Hermens,a professor of neurobiology at the Thompson Institute.In the wake of increas

38、ing reports of mental disorders,there is therapeutic promise.Brain fingerprinting could offer a potential way out of the dark chapter and provide new possibilities for the mental health crisis using best evidence-based practices to overcome it.28.What can we learn about the brains“fingerprint”?A.It

39、can track electrical signals in the brain.B.It refers to the pattern of the surface of the brain.C.It constructs an individualized map of brain structure.D.It shows the unique image of the brains electrical activity.29.According to the passage,the sleeping brain is a“new frontier”because _.A.recordi

40、ng brain fingerprints enhances memory B.brainwave data can identify specific mental illnesses C.EEG can form biological indicators for human identity D.neuroimaging prevents the development of mental disorders 30.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.Sleep Fingerprints Predict Disease Occu

41、rrence B.Sleeping Brains:Ideas and Actions Controlled C.Sleep Fingerprints:Brain Identity Revealed D.Sleeping Brains Uncover Memory Codes D The Age of Information is mushrooming,perhaps even bulging.If you tried to download all the data available today,youd need more than 180 million years to do so.

42、But you are wrong to assume that all this information would stimulate a boost of innovation to match the output of data.Indeed,the last time we found ourselves in a period of significant innovation,pursuing the ideas with the biggest spark,was more than 120 years ago,in a period called the Age of In

43、sight.Innovations,both big and small,start with a new idea.Often,these ideas occur as a moment of insightthe result of a novel connection in our brains made between existing and new information.Studies show insights involve quiet signals deep in the brain,just under the surface of awareness.Anything

44、 that helps us notice quiet signals,such as taking breaks between meetings,only adopting necessary learning approaches or avoiding distractions like social media,can increase the chance of insights.However,its becoming more challenging to find those quiet signals with the increasing use of technolog

45、y,filling every moment with emergencies and an endless supply of content.高三英语试卷 第 7 页（共 10 页）Besides,we also want to increase the quality of themto be able to sort through big new ideas and find the ones that have real value,which can be hard to measure.Launched in 2015,the Eureka Scale(尤里卡量表)allows

46、 us to assess the strength of our insight experiences on a five-point scale,which is marked by intense emotions,motivation,memory advantage,aftershocks,and following ideas.The Scale combines these five variables into a single value and allows us to define the importance of a new idea.The level-5 ins

47、ight,involving the richest emotion,motivation,and lasting impact,holds the greatest significance.Because insights are one of the best ways to drive engagement,innovation,and behavior change,the Eureka Scale has broad applications for measuring and improving individual and organizational performance.

48、More importantly,it can be used to measure the impact of different kinds of work environments and learning approaches on participants growthboth in the moment or afterward.In order for organizations to benefit from another age of insight,its not enough to try to access more data or increase the numb

49、er of insights we generate.Instead,its about making space for the biggest ideas to emerge from all the information.Using the shared language of the Eureka Scale as a way to measure how important ideas are,relative to each other,will enable better decision-making toward practical and competitive outc

50、omes.And if were to enter a new age of insight,we must design our environments to allow for the best insight possible to surface.31.What does the underlined word“bulging”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Stabilizing.B.Exploding.C.Shifting.D.Collapsing.32.According to the passage,how can the possibility
