Despite the many other things that I need to do, I really look forward to meeting and serving these people, even if only briefly. Although my motivation begins with wanting to help others and be grateful for what I have been given, it is joy that helps bring me back when I am very busy. I first noticed this some time ago: at the end of our shift (轮班), after the kitchen and dining room have been cleaned up, I would experience a lightness of being. A few years ago, as I was researching how kindness affected health, I came to learn that volunteerism was associated with a markedly lower risk of dying. One recent and large European study found that self-reported health scores were apparently better in volunteers than non-volunteers. Depending on the study, the decrease in death rates ranged between 20 to 60 percent or so. How could volunteering decrease the risk of death? There are several factors at play. The first, and most primary, is decreased symptoms of stress and uplifted mood. Many studies have provided evidence that volunteering is good for depression, well-being, and social networking, among other effects. Secondly, people who volunteer regularly also make more effort to take care of themselves. They manage to pay visits to their doctor for preventive health care. Finally, people who volunteer may be more physically active. Volunteers have an obvious increase in walking each day compared to those who did not volunteer.To try to tie this together, volunteering likely exerts (施加) its positive health effects by connecting people to others and to an activity that they find meaningful. Achieving connection, purpose, and meaning is critical to reducing stresses of life particularly loneliness. Since stress is a major cause of disease, especially heart disease, the ability to satisfy the need for connection, purpose, and meaning can bring about beneficial changes for people. And when there is purpose and we are connected to others, we take care of ourselves.39. How does the author feel about doing a volunteer job?A. Pleased. B. Tired. C. Surprised. D. Annoyed.40. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. A study on volunteerism. B. The health scores of volunteers.C. The relationship between kindness and health.D. Volunteerisms positive effect on volunteers health.41. Volunteering decreases the risk of volunteers death mainly by _.A. making them more physically activeB. making them visit doctors frequentlyC. pushing them to take care of themselvesD. reducing their stress and uplifting their mood42. What does the underlined word “critical” in the last paragraph mean?A. Different. B. Equal. C. Important. D. Contrary.高二英语试题 第 6 页共 12 页CWith around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9:00 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pajamas(睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the “night owl” schedule of sleep.This is opposed to the “early bird” schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds” - the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls, this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.43.What does the author stress in Paragraph 1?A.Many students are absent from class.B.Students are very tired on Monday mornings.C.Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.D.Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.44.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A.Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.B.Students dont sleep well because of alerting systems.C.Ones body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently.D.Adolescents delayed sleep/wake cycle isnt the preferred pattern.45.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “classified”?A.CriticizedB.GroupedC.OrganizedD.Named46.What does the text mainly talk about?A.Functions of the body clock.B.The “night owl” phenomenon.C.Human beings sleep behaviour.D.The school schedule of “early birds”.D When you think of a typical American, who do you picture? A pretty blond white American like Taylor Swift? Or a handsome black American like basketball star Kobe Bryant? In fact, there was a time when the average American looked like neither of these people. Back in the year 1500, the average American was a brown-skinned hunter-gatherer who probably rode a horse and wore clothing made from animal skins. Today, the ancestors of these people-who usually identify themselves based on their individual tribes such as Iroquois, Apache and Navajo-are broadly referred to as “Native Americans”, “American Indians” or simply “Indians”. Theres a chance that youve never even heard of American Indians. Thats 高二英语试题 第 7 页共 12 页because there arent very many left. When the European settlement of North American began, there was intense conflict between settlers from overseas and these native people. After the British government and military were expelled in the Revolutionary War, conflicts with natives continued as the states were created that would later make up the US. In these conflicts, millions of natives were killed. In 1830, former Us president Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act. This act required all Indians to migrate to west of the Mississippi River to allow for the expansion of the US. American Indians were treated as a military “enemy” until 1924, when the few Indians still alive at that point were grated US citizenship. That was the first time that the US government formally recognized the rights of Indians. While the story of the American Indians has been a sad one, their legacy is still felt every day; in the US. Many US geographical names come from Indian languages, such as Ohio, Topeka, Kansas and the Potomac River. At the same time, there are many successful academics and other important US leaders who are descended from Indians. And nowadays, more and more history classes in US public schools are educating students about how Indians suffered during the settlement of the US. Although what happened cannot be undone, we can learn at least one thing from the sad history of the Indians: If we want a better future, we must look carefully and honestly at the past. 47.What is the article mainly about?
