brain activity—within what s called the default mode network—that occurs while
an individual is resting or performing habitual tasks that don t require much
attention. ”和倒数第二段“Researchers have shown that the default mode network
(DMN)—which connects more than a dozen regions of the brain—becomes more

络(DMN)在走神或做被动任务时比你在做需要集中注意力的事情时更活
跃)”可推知,一个正在踢足球的学生最有可能得到一个新奇的想法。 故

rejecting, or implementing ideas. ” So it s unwise to place blind faith in ideas that
are generated in the shower or during any other period of mind wandering. ”可推
知,虽然默认模式网络在创作过程中发挥着关键作用,但“它并不是唯一重要的网
络”,所以我们把不经意间在脑海中形成的想法付诸实践前要三思。 故选 A。

We Should Shoulder the Responsibility
Recently many young role models emerged in the mountain fire in Chongqing and
the Luding earthquake, in which post-00s firefighters, post-00s volunteers showed
their bravery and ambition, especially, their sense of responsibility.
What they did made me think about our responsibility. As young people we have
to work hard to serve the country. As a student,we have a responsibility to complete
our studies seriously and steadfastly, enduring all kinds of hardship. We should not
escape any responsibility of love and care.
In a word, all of us young people should learn from them and shoulder our
responsibility.

more like water. Overwhelmed with confusion, he asked directly, “What s wrong It
2023 年邵阳市高三第二次联考试题参考答案与评分标准(英语) 　 第　6 页(共 10 页)
tastes just like cold water. ” The moment Morty heard his father s doubt, he stood
awkwardly, not sure what to say. Fred and Ben were also speechless. A moment
later, they admitted what they had done. Although Morty s father was disappointed,
he said, “ You still have time to correct your wrongdoings. ” Hearing this, they
nodded immediately.
They decided to fix their wrongdoings the next week. Ben suggested using the
money earned to prepare enough lemons first and then reducing the price. They all
agreed. When they restarted their business, they even stood a sign, saying, “ We
send a cup of lemonade to customers who bought it last Saturday afternoon for free. ”
They made over 50 cups of lemonade for a constant stream of customers with a low
price and over 20 cups were for free. As you can imagine, they didn t get enough
money for the camp, but they learned a valuable lesson that one should always be
honest.
【解析】本文以故事情节发展为线索,讲述了 Morty,Ben 和 Fred 三个孩子因为想
去参加夏令营,在路边摆摊卖柠檬水赚报名费。 随着柠檬越来越少,他们打起了
歪主意:往柠檬汁里兑水并提价。 后来,Morty 的家人开心地来照顾生意。 他的
爸爸喝出了柠檬水的问题,不禁发出疑问。 几个孩子沉默片刻,还是承认了错
误。 在 Morty 爸爸的鼓励下,他们决定第二周弥补错误。 随后,他们用赚到的钱
购买了足量的柠檬,降价,并主动声明给上周周六下午购买柠檬水的顾客免费送
一杯柠檬水。 可想而知,他们最终没有钱参加夏令营,但是他们懂得了珍贵的一
课:做人要保持诚信。
1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Morty 的父亲喝了一口柠檬水,皱起了眉头”可知,第
一段可描写 Morty 的爸爸发现了柠檬水的问题后,几个孩子很尴尬地承认错误
的场景,以及 Morty 爸爸建议他们怎么做。
②由第二段首句内容“他们决定下周改正他们的错误”可知,第二段可描写
他们如何改正自己的错误。
2. 续写线索:发现夏令营传单———想参加———摆柠檬水摊赚报名费———柠
檬水兑水被发现———承认错误———纠正错误———感悟

Once there was a pianist in a bar. People came just to hear him play. But one
night, a lady was tired of listening to the piano and asked him to sing a song. So he
did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time!
Nobody had expected he could sing so beautifully! All the people present had a good
time and the pianist was also very happy because he found that he could sing well.
He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name pianist in a no-name bar.
Now he found, by accident, his ability to sing, so he went on working hard on
singing. Later, the pianist became one of the best-known singers in the US. His
name was Nat King Cole. You, too, have skills and abilities that you haven t found.
You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With
hard work, most skills can be improved. Besides, you may have no success at all if
you do nothing about your talent.

Heading out of the Scottish Borders and west into Dumfries &Galloway, there are plenty of sights still to see on the journey.
GREY MARE'S TAIL
As one of the UK's highest waterfalls, Rey Mare's Tail is well worth a stop. Park up at the car park, and just along a short path, you can stand and admire this tall, natural feature as the water pours down the hanging valley. On the other side from the first path is a second path, following the path, and you'll reach Loch Skeen, a beautiful glassy swimming pool of mountain water available for travellers.
MOFFAT
After you walk head to nearby Moffat for a short stroll around the town, you can have something to eat in one of the cafes or restaurants. If you've got time to spare, Moffat is Europe's first Dark Sky Town, so as soon as the sun sets, you get a better view of the night sky thanks to the special street lighting.
WANLOCKHEAD
Take a drive further west into Dumfries & Galloway and you'll soon reach the dizzy heights of not just the south of Scotland, but all of Scotland! Wanlockhead is Scotland's highest village, which won't come as a surprise once you're there.
CRAWICK MULTIVERSE
Just a short drive from the highest village, is a good place to stretch your legs and see a different place on the area's local industry. Crawick Multiverse has used landscape art to transform a former open cast coal mine into a 55-acre artland, visitor attraction and public space.

The first essay I wrote for my history of English class was perfect, at least from my perspective. I had worked on it constantly and couldn't wait to get my grade back. I handed it in with pride.
Two weeks later, I received my grade: a D. The pages were covered in red writing, pointing out errors. There must have been a mistake.
University started later for me than most. The opportunity wasn't available when I was younger-too many kids in our family and too little money. But I never stopped wondering what university would have been like. I was in my 40s when I sent in my application and as a part-time student, I will be in my 60s before I'm finished. That’s my goal.
What's it like to be the old guy in a class full of 20-year-olds It's strange. They pretty much ignored me, and I ignored them. They also ignored each other. However, after we had more group work together, people started to communicate. Although I was an English major, some of my favorite classes were unrelated electives. Courses in art history and Greek and Roman history were fascinating. I was eager to do well.
I arranged a meeting to discuss my essay grade and arrived 10 minutes early to meet the teacher's assistant. I was ready to argue for the brilliance of my paper. However, she quickly explained to me that the paper failed to make a strong argument. The mark remained.
While I kept studying and kept learning, I learned to love two dozen writers I had never heard of before and explored types of literature I had never examined. Eventually, I learned how to write an essay in proper academic prose.
University is different when you are a senior, part-time student. If you are there to establish a career or because your parents force you to go, there are other pressures. For me, it's just learning. Whether I'm learning remotely or in person, it makes the world a bigger, richer place.
24.How did the writer feel after receiving the grade of his first essay
A.Hopeless.
B.Pleased.
C.Excited.
D.Surprised.
25.Why did the writer start university later than others
A.His application was refused.
B. His teacher disliked his essay.
C.His health did not meet the standard.
D.His family was not rich enough.
26.What helped the writer in writing a proper academic essay
A. Strong curiosity.
B. Constant efforts.
C. Great pressure.
D. Remarkable creativity.
27.Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Practice Makes Perfect.
B. Not All That Shines Is Gold.
C. Where There Is A Will, There Is A Way.
D. Action Speaks Louder Than Words.
C
Our Planet Earth is full of life and has incredible biodiversity. Biological Diversity or Biodiversity is the base of human existence and fundamental to its well-being. Species are the building blocks of this life on Earth, and it is believed that the species that are at present globally found have continuously evolved over 65 million years since the Last Mass Extinction. However, the nature and extent of our planet's biodiversity at all levels have not been completely evaluated yet. Thus, the exact number of species found in the world remains unknown. Over the years, with the advancement of scientific knowledge and the discovery of more new species, it has been approximated that there are, at present, 10 million to 14 million species on Earth, of which 1.2 million species have been data-based. This means that still more than 86％ of the terrestrial（陆生的） and 91％ of the marine species remain unknown.
Every year，taxonomists（分类学家）describe thousands of species，some of which are completely new to science, while in some cases, the species and subspecies are closely examined and determined whether they can be considered distinct species.
A study has revealed that over 99.9% of all species amounting to more than 5 billion species that ever lived here, are believed to be extinct. At present, our planet houses millions of species, among which 86% live on land, 13% in the deep subsurface, and a mere 1% in the oceans. However, Biodiversity is not evenly distributed on Earth, and its number varies greatly on different continents.
The undiscovered and misidentified species slow our ability to understand patterns and changes in global biodiversity and the rate of species extinctions（灭绝）. Even after several years of taxonomic studies, only 14% of terrestrial species and 9% of marine species have been officially added to the central database. Necessarily, some species will become extinct before researchers realize they ever existed.
28.What does the underlined word “marine” mean in Paragraph 1
A.Rare.
B.Oceanic.
C.Endangered.
D.Novel.
29.What do taxonomists usually do
A.Examine distribution of species.
B.Compare species from subspecies.
C.Decide the situation of the species.
D.Describe diversity of new-found species.
30. Which of the following can describe the distribution of the Earth's Biodiversity
A.Unequal.
B.Accumulative.
C.Average.
D.Maximum.
31.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A.The central database covers all species.
B.The rate of species extinctions is rather high.
C.Many undiscovered species have been extinct.
D.Humans know little about endangered species.

If you've ever emerged from the shower or returned from walking your dog with a clever idea or a solution to a problem you'd been struggling with, it may not be an unusual thing.
Rather than constantly wearing yourself out at a problem or desperately seeking a flash of inspiration, research from the last 15 years suggests that people may be more likely to have creative breakthroughs or insights when they're doing a habitual task that doesn't require much thought-an activity in which you're basically on autopilot. This lets your mind wander or engage in spontaneous cognition（自发认知）or “stream of consciousness" thinking, which experts believe helps recollect unusual memories and generate new ideas.
“People always get surprised when they realize they get interesting, novel ideas at unexpected times because our cultural narrative（叙述） tells us we should do it through hard work，＂ says Kalina Christoff， a cognitive neuroscientist（认知神经科学家） at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. “It’s a pretty universal human experience.”
Now we're beginning to understand why these clever thoughts occur during more passive activities and what's happening in the brain, says Christoff. The key, according to the latest research, is a pattern of brain activity-within what's called the default mode network（DMN）（默认模式网络）-that occurs while an individual is resting or performing habitual tasks that don't require much attention.
Researchers have shown that the DMN-which connects more than a dozen regions of the brain-becomes more active during mind-wandering or passive tasks than when you're doing something that demands focus. Simply put, the DMN is “the state the brain returns to when you're not actively engaged,” explains Roger Beaty, a cognitive neuroscientist and director of the Cognitive Neuroscience of Creativity Lab at Penn State University. By contrast, when you're trapped in a demanding task, the brain's executive control systems keep your thinking focused, analytical, and logical.
A cautionary note: While the default mode network plays a key role in the creative process, “it's not the only important network,” Beaty says. “Other networks come into play as far as modifying， rejecting， or implementing（实施）ideas.” So it’s unwise to place blind faith in ideas that are generated in the shower or during any other period of mind wandering.
32.When do people expect to get an innovative idea according to the research
A.When desperately seeking inspirations.
B.When working attentively.
C.When tackling tough problems.
D.When doing routine work.
33. What is the cultural perception for getting exciting, unusual ideas according to the third paragraph
A.Getting by good luck.
B.Getting by great efforts.
C.Getting by unexpected accident.
D.Getting by universal experience.
34.Who is most likely to get a novel idea
A. A student who is playing football.
B. A student who is focusing on papers.
C.A student who is closely monitoring his research.
D. A student who is fully engaged in math questions.
35.What does the last paragraph imply
A. Think twice before putting ideas unconsciously crossing your mind into practice.
B. We should take the idea popped in the shower seriously.
C. Believe in ideas that are generated by the default mode network.
D. We can get novel ideas by the default mode network.

Some people prefer to have a bite to eat before hitting the gym, known as a fed workout. Others would like to wait until after exercising to refuel their bodies, called a fasted workout. 36 Many experts say there's no easy answer because it depends on the person.
If you want energy and strength for an ideal workout, you need fuel. A fed workout will provide your body with power. Eating before exercise may help you sustain longer sessions and lift heavier weights. 37 Muscle preservation is also an essential component of strengthening your body. Nitrogen（氮） is critical for processing protein that builds healthy muscles. People tend to lose less nitrogen during a fed workout than a fasted one.
Many fitness enthusiasts are not on board with this idea. They report feeling sick and inactive while trying to exercise after eating. With a fasted workout, you may not get the usual indigestion. Experts for fasted workouts further claim that eating afterwards makes your body use its fat reserves for energy, meaning you will burn more fat. 38 It can cause a sudden drop in your blood glucose（葡萄糖）levels， and you may feel dizzy. You may even be more likely to overeat.
39 Not all foods are created equal. For example, if you choose a fed workout, you'll probably lose a lot of water during an intense training, so you should consider drinking some beforehand. With a fasted workout, it would help if you had some nutrition right after your session is complete. Drink some water. Then, have a light meal or nutritional snack.
Deciding when to eat for an ideal workout is a personal choice. Both fasted workouts and fed activities have their benefits and shortcomings. 40
A. To eat or not to eat, that is the question on many fitness enthusiasts' minds.
B. How your body will respond is based on your workout intensity.
C. These benefits can result in burning more fat and shaping a slimmer body.
D. However, a fasted workout might not work for you.
E. A person doing a 30-minute session a day may not have a problem with fasted workouts.
F. Knowing what to eat for an ideal workout is just as important as knowing when to eat.
G. Think thoroughly and discuss with your fitness instructor before taking a choice.

The high hanging floors of the structure 59 (hold)up by wooden stilts, which give the house an unsteady appearance from afar. But a Diaojiaolou is, in fact, firmly fixed because its stilts are further reinforced by stone blocks at their bases. Even if one of the stilts were destroyed, the building would still have a strong foundation. The ground floor tends 60 (use) as storage space for firewood and farming equipment. Livestock stay on the ground floor, while people always live 61 it.
62 (benefit) of Diaojiaolou is that,63 in ancient times, these stilted buildings would provide protection from fierce beasts. Nowadays they continue to provide protection from venomous snakes and insects that are not uncommon throughout China. These buildings also help prevent humidity-related diseases that are common in southern China. 64 (additional),the cool breeze blowing through the windows of the upper levels acts like a kind of natural air conditioner. In mountainous regions, the level of humidity on the ground during summer is almost 65 (bear) and potentially dangerous, so elevated living spaces are particularly necessary.

Morty was checking out his library books when it caught his eye-a poster for Adventure Rocks Kids Camp. “Check this out!” Morty called to Ben and Fred as he grabbed three brochures and dashed to catch up with his best buddies. They all stopped, books in hands, to stare at the pictures of kids flying above valleys suspended from zip lines（飞索）.They instantly believed the brochure＇s headline： Summer won't be complete until you take it to the limit at Adventure Rocks Kids Camp.
Ben broke the silence,“ We have less than two weeks until registration opens, and it says the camp fills up fast.” Then an idea occurred to Morty. “Why don't we sell lemonade and snacks by the side of the road We can pool our allowance savings for the camp.” “That's a great idea,” Ben said.
The sun had barely come up on Saturday morning when the kids set up their business. They chose a spot, asked permission from the homeowner, and then asked to use her garden soft pipe for water to make lemonade.
Their business went smoothly until Ben announced that they had a comparatively small stock of lemons shortly after noon. Morty decided to make their stock go further. “Fred, when the jug gets down to one-fourth full, just fill it to the top with the water pipe.” Morty was thinking out loud, “Ill change the sign and charge 30 more cents for each cup of lemonade.” Their business went on and the three were secretly proud of the little tricks they had done.
Just as Morty finished refilling the jug with water for the third time, a vehicle rounded the corner. Morty saw the minivan with his father at the wheel and his family inside. They pulled up to the sidewalk, and his brothers and sisters jumped out, each clutching a coin or two. They were eager to support their brother's busy business. Morty's family bought the last cups of watered-down lemonade.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡得相应位置做答。
Morty＇s father frowned（皱眉）at a small drink of the lemonade.
