（23-24高二下·北京通州·期末）We’ve all heard it befre: t be successful, get ut f bed early. After all, Apple CEO Tim Ck gets up at 3:45 am, Fiat CEO Sergi Marchinne at 3:30 am and Richard Bransn at 5:45 am — and, as we knw, “The early bird catches the wrm.” Indeed, it may be true that thse wh get up early have a jump start n the day befre thers are even ut f bed.
But just because sme successful peple wake up early, des that mean it’s a trait (特征) mst f them share? And if the idea f having exercised, eaten breakfast, and dne ne task befre 8 am makes yu want t sleep in until next Saturday, des it mean yu’ll have a less successful life?
Fr abut half f us, this isn’t really an issue. It’s estimated that sme 50% f the ppulatin isn’t really mrning-riented r evening-riented, but smewhere in the middle. Rughly ne in fur f us, thugh, tend mre tward bright-eyed early risers, and anther ne in fur are night wls. Fr them, the effect can g beynd falling asleep in frnt f the TV at 10 pm r being regularly late fr wrk.
Numerus studies have fund that mrning peple are mre self-directed and agreeable. And cmpared t night wls, they are less likely t be depressed, drink r smke.
Althugh mrning types may achieve mre academically, night wls tend t perfrm better n measures f memry, prcessing speed and cgnitive ability, even when they have t perfrm thse tasks in the mrning. Night-time peple are als mre pen and mre creative. And ne study shws that night wls are as healthy and wise as mrning-types, and a little bit wealthier.
Still think the mrning peple sund mre like CEO material? Dn’t set yur alarm fr 5 am just, yet, as it turns ut, changing yur sleep times may nt have much effect.
“If peple are left t their naturally preferred times, they feel much better. They say that they are much mre prductive. The mental capacity they have is much brader,” says Oxfrd University bilgist Katharina Wulf. On the ther hand, she says, pushing peple t far ut f their natural preference can be harmful. When they wake early, fr example, night wls are still prducing melatnin (褪黑激素). “Then, yu disrupt (扰乱) it and push the bdy t be in the daytime mde. That can have lts f negative, physilgical cnsequences,” Wulff says, like a different sensitivity t insulin and glucse (葡萄糖) which can cause weight gain.

（23-24高二下·北京丰台·期末）All ver the wrld, frmal educatin supplies the ecnmy with wrkers wh will increase prductivity t fuel the ecnmic machine. But this machine nw threatens ur very survival. If the entire wrld reaches the levels f cnsumptin seen in high-incme cuntries tday, we’ll need multiple planet Earths t supply the resurces. The absurd (荒谬的) idea f infinite grwth within a finite territry is at the heart f ur ecnmic system.
T keep this machine running, frmal educatin generates ever mre efficient “human capital”. Increasing prductivity metrics (指标) rather than the individuality f students drives ur civilizatin’s apprach t schling ur yung peple. Whereas the Sustainable Develpment Gals call fr turning educatin int a frce fr sustainability, the ppsite is ften true: The ways Western scieties have cme t think abut educatin undermine ur ability t deal with the envirnmental crisis. T get thrugh this crisis, we need t cultivate ur imaginatin, nt undermine it.
Grwing up, nne f my schling fstered my ability t imagine a wrld different frm what I saw arund me. Besides, I realize the suppressin (抑制) f children’s imaginatin desn’t take place nly in underresurced cmmunities, but in “elite” institutins that tut “critical thinking”. Schls want t see their graduates succeed, and success is t ften abut maintaining current structures — nt abut reimagining their fundatins.
Essentially, ur educatin systems shape children in the image f artificial intelligence. The perfect “wrker”, AI, cntinually imprves its wn prductivity but desn’t challenge the larger structures within which it perates. It is ne f the great paradxes f ur time that we invest s much int building supercmputers while marginalizing the imaginative ptential f millins f human brains. What’s mre, we even put ur hpe in slving the envirnmental crisis n AI. But AI, like ur ther technlgies, can nly treat the symptms f the envirnmental crisis, nt the causes
Thrughut histry, achievers f great change have relied n their imaginatins t address fundamental flaws in sciety. In my cuntry f birth, cmmunists kept their dreams f demcracy alive fr decades by imagining different futures. In Suth Africa, Nelsn Mandela’s fllwers had t be radical (激进的) in their imaginatin t create a visin f a fairer sciety. Imagining demcracy when living under a ttalitarian regime (极权主义政权) isn’t that different frm imagining degrwth when living in a wrld f infinite grwth.
The kind f intelligence that Nelsn Mandela and such pssessed was nt artificial. The ability t reimagine the future and disrupt the current situatin remains a distinctly human quality. Unlike AI, children are naturally imaginative and questin the premises f sciety. In my research, I have bserved that yunger children are ften the mst radical in imagining different futures.
As lng as ur imaginatin is curtailed, ideas like degrwth sund utpian (乌托邦的) t many, Cultivating imaginatin means learning frm histry’s disrupters wh made the impssible pssible. Instead f dismissing “childish” ideas abut the wrld’s future, it means seeing inspiratin in children’s imaginatins. In an educatin system that celebrates imaginatin, arts and creativity are as imprtant as math and science. Idealism cexists with pragmatism. The envirnmental crisis is nt a crisis f technlgy r science, it is a crisis f imaginatin. If we let children be ur guides, we might be able t imagine ur way t survival.

（22-23高二下·北京海淀·期末）Hardly a day ges by withut sme new claim prmising t bring us clser t the metaverse (元宇宙) in the nt-t-distant future. On hearing this, sme will feel pure excitement, but thers will feel unsure r dwnright ppsed. Our habit in recent histry has been lking dwn upn thse with dubts n technlgical prgress. It may be time t re-examine that.
There has been a backlash t technlgy since histrical memries began. Every new frm f cmmunicatin has attracted criticism fr increasing the pace f life. Fr example, peple nce feared that cars travelling at 20 t 30 miles per hur might rb their passengers f xygen.
When we lk back, cntemprary resistance t technlgical advancement can lk cmpletely flish, but ften it isn’t. The Luddites, fr example, the destryer f mill (作坊) machinery in the early industrial revlutin, are generally referred t as a histrical jke. But if we lk at their real cmplaints, it wasn’t sme naive anti-prgress mvement; it was abut ecnmics. Cttn mills replaced skilled, hme-based, independent wrk with lwer-skilled wrk in a factry, accmpanied by much less autnmy and much less pay.
The mill might have been mre efficient and thus mre prfitable, but it wuld take decades f campaigning t distribute thse gains even apprximately fairly — with the birth f the trade unin mvement, the welfare state and mre. S, was their resistance really s unreasnable?
While metaverse advcates wuld like t paint skeptics as simply rted in the past, at least sme dubts are well funded. The reasns t be cautius f the next wave f technlgy are varied. One is simply whether the technlgies in questin are where they are claimed t be. If the cmpany has a habit f ver prmising, few in the knw will take its claims f inventins seriusly.
Other mre striking metaverse technlgies rely n virtual reality, which still largely cnsists f heavy headsets and dd arm cntrls — all just t be able t perate an avatar thrugh an awkward nline wrld. VR has been “the next big thing” fr decades and the public has cnsistently felt therwise: there isn’t much t d nce yu are there, the technlgy gives many peple mtin sickness and, perhaps mst prblematically f all, the whle thing just seems extremely silly. Anther ppular innvatin, health tracking, hasn’t caught the wider public by strm because many cnsumers wrry abut what will happen t their data.
There is much t anticipate as we bring nline and ffline wrlds tgether. But we shuld learn nt t dismiss cncerns r cautin abut this, either. There are many ratinal reasns fr peple t take part in the techlash.

1．What des the underlined wrd “backlash” in Paragraph 2 mst prbably mean?
A．Expsure.B．Cmmitment.
C．Oppsitin.D．Transfrmatin.
2．What can we learn abut the Luddites mvement?
A．It cntributed t the success f the industrial revlutin.
B．It made lwer-skilled wrkers replaced by mills.
C．It led t the birth f the trade unin mvement.
D．It was launched largely fr ecnmic reasns.
3．Peple are hesitant abut the next wave f technlgy partly because they _________.
A．are nt interested in virtual reality
B．think sme cmpanies make verstatements
C．wrry abut the inaccuracy f their data cllected
D．are embarrassed abut wearing the awkward headsets
4．As fr technlgical innvatin, the authr wuld agree _________.
A．enthusiasts are being unreasnable
B．the public shuld stay cl-headed
C．mst f the criticism is grundless
D．peple shuld welcme new technlgy
（21-22高二下·北京·期末）In sme islands nrth f Sctland, head lice, which live n the hair r skin f peple r animals, were a part f life. If the lice left their hst, he became sick and feverish. Therefre, sick peple had lice put in their hair intentinally. There was a methd t their madness: As sn as the lice had settled in again, the patient imprved. The stry explains the cnfusin f cause and effect. If the lice leave the sick, it is because he has a fever and they simply get ht feet. When the fever breaks, they return. We may laugh at this stry, but false causality misleads us practically every day.
Cnsider the headline: “Fact: Wmen Wh Use Shamp XYZ Every Day Have Strnger Hair.” This statement says very little — least f all, that the shamp makes yur hair strnger. It might simply be the ther way rund: Wmen with strng hair tend t use Shamp XYZ-and perhaps that’s because it says “especially fr thick hair” n the bttle.
A further example: Scientists fund that lng perids in the hspital did harm t patients. This was music t health insurers’ ears, wh, f curse, are keen t make stays as brief as pssible. But, clearly, patients wh are dismissed immediately are healthier than thse wh must stay n fr treatment.
Recently I read that students get better grades at schl if their hmes cntain a lt f bks. This study was surely a sht in the arm fr bksellers, but it is als an example f false causality. This simple truth is that educated parents tend t value their children’s educatin mre than uneducated nes d. Plus, educated parents ften have mre bks at hme. In shrt, a dust-cvered cpy f War and Peace alne isn’t ging t influence anyne’s grades; what cunts is parents’ educatin levels, as well as their genes.
Anther example f false causality was the suppsed relatinship between the birth rate and the numbers f strk (鹳) pairs in Germany. Bth were in decline, and if yu plt them n a graph, the tw lines f develpment frm 1965 t 1987 appeared almst the same. Des this mean the strk actually des bring babies? Obviusly nt, since this was a purely accidental cnnectin. In cnclusin: Cnnectin is nt causality. Take a clser lk at linked events: Smetimes what is presented as the cause turns ut t be the effect, r just the ther way arund. And smetimes there is n link at all — just like with the strks and babies.
1．Which is an example f false causality?
A．The birth rate and strk ppulatin in Germany are cnnected.
B．The wmen with strng hair tend t use a certain shamp.
C．Lnger perids in the hspital benefit patients.
D．Lice can make a persn sick and feverish.
2．The underlined phrase “a sht in the arm” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A．painB．defeatC．guidanceD．encuragement
3．Accrding t the authr, students get better grades prbably because ________.
A．their hmes are full f bksB．they have read War and Peace
C．their educated parents value educatinD．their parents are successful bksellers
4．It can be cncluded frm the passage that ________.
A．cnnectins are pure accidentsB．cause and effect are interdependent
C．cnnectins are mstly cause and effectD．linked events may turn ut t be unrelated
（21-22高二下·北京东城·期末）Tward the end f my senir year in England, I watched my peers line up in frnt f the Career Services building. Waiting fr their interviews fr jbs, all seemed t be dressed the same — the men wearing navy jackets, the wmen dark dresses. I thught back t my first day n campus fur years earlier when we all wre different clrs and dreamed f different futures. It was as if ur years f study, instead f enhancing ur individualities and imaginatins, had reduced them t sameness.
It was nt a unique scene. All ver the wrld, educatin supplies the ecnmy with wrkers wh will increase prductivity. But this nw threatens ur very survival. If the entire wrld reaches the levels f cnsumptin seen in high-incme cuntries tday, we’ll need multiple planet Earths t supply the resurces.
The sustainable develpment gals call fr turning educatin int a frce fr sustainability, but the ppsite is ften true: the ways we think abut educatin undermine ur ability t deal with the envirnmental crisis. As an educatin researcher, I see many children ging thrugh rte learning — Indian pupils repeating the sentences written by their teacher n the blackbard, a Suth African child yelled at by the teacher fr failing t recite the text. Rte learning and discuraging individuality in children are still at the rt f what it means t be educated acrss much f the wrld.
On the ther hand, ur fcus n technlgical slutins t the envirnmental crisis is driving ur apprach t educatin. Mre students at British universities are studying science, technlgy, engineering and mathematics (STEM) than ever befre, including a 400 percent increase in enrllment in AI curses ver the last 10 years. Cmpared t STEM, scial sciences and humanities are ften underfunded and seen as less imprtant. But this apprach is cunterprductive because nn-STEM subjects are crucial t develp ur ability t reimagine the wrld.
We even put ur hpe in slving the envirnmental crisis n AI. We make gd use f energy netwrks, track land use thrugh satellite imagery and predict extreme weather. But AI, like ur ther technlgies, can nly treat the symptms (症状) f the envirnmental crisis, nt the causes. These lie in lack f sensitivity t ur impact n the planet.
Unlike AI, children are naturally imaginative. Nurturing imaginatin means seeing inspiratin in children’s imaginatins. In an educatin system that celebrates imaginatin, arts and creativity are as imprtant as math and science. The envirnmental crisis is nt a crisis f technlgy r science, it is a crisis f imaginatin. If we let children be ur guides, we might just be able t imagine ur way t survival.
1．What is mainly talked abut in the first three paragraphs?
A．The new reslutin f survival prblems.B．The negative effect f present educatin.
C．The adverse impact f ver cnsumptin.D．The cnstant threat t ecnmic prductivity.
2．What des the underlined wrd “undermine” in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A．Change.B．Resist.C．Recall.D．Weaken.
3．The authr may agree that ______.
A．the applicatin f AI needs t be limitedB．emphasis shuld be laid n scial sciences
C．creativity is dminated by children’s sciencesD．technlgy is the cure fr the envirnmental crisis
