My PhD adviser informed me I had failed my qualifying exam at my third attempt, which meant the dismissal(开除)from the program.How was it possible that one exam-one hour of my life-could define me as unfit to be a scientist
I wasn't sure what to expect when I started my PhD program.I struggled with my classes during my first year, spending coutless hours studying in the library. I ended that year with increased confidence.But soon my confidence went away when I made my first attempt at the qualifying exam.I had switched research projects 5 months earlier, after my first adviser left the university,so I wasn't so confident of going into the exam.Besides,I had never taken an oral exam before,so the experience was terrifying.
Once it was over, my committee told me I'd conditionally passed,which meant I had to take more time to study and prepare to talk about the topic further.I was shaken but still hopeful.But when I retook the exam,I failed again.That's when I was told I'd have one more chance.
For the next 5 months,I asked my committee chairs for guidance and practiced answering oral questions. I even stopped doing lab work to focus on my exam preparations.I was all in.
When the exam was over, I left the room feeling a mix of fear and relief. But those feelings changed to disappointment the next day after I learned I'd failed.I speak Spanish at home,but I have difficulty translating even the simplest scientific concepts into Spanish. This held back my ability to comfortably speak the expected"language of science".
My adviser requested to reinstate(使重返岗位)me'to the PhD program,and I'm now back to working on my doctorate.I still have a little voice in the back of my head that I' not good enough.But I try to stop it by surrounding myself with professors who support me and by staying focused on developing into the great scientist I know I can be. I am much more than that one-hour exam.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者讲述了自己在攻读博士学位时,尽管经历很多次失败,但仍不气馁,始终意志坚定地坚持自己成为科学家的梦想。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查,是一篇故事类阅读,通读全文,理解文章大意,阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容,仔细核对,选择符合原文原意的答案,完成后再次阅读并检查。
4.考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"I struggled with my classes during my first year, spending coutless hours studying in the library. I ended that year with increased confidence."第一年,我努力学习,花了无数个小时在图书馆学习。 那一年结束时,我的信心更加增强了。可知,在第一年年底时,作者感觉到特别有信心。故选A。
5.考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"I had switched research projects 5 months earlier, after my first adviser left the university"5个月前,在我的第一位导师离开大学之后,我已经改变了研究项目。可知,她的导师已不再在那里工作了,所以她改变了研究项目了。故选D。
6.考查细节理解。根据第四段"For the next 5 months, I asked my committee chairs for guidance and practiced answering oral questions. I even stopped doing lab work to focus on my exam preparations. I was all in."在接下来的5个月里,我向委员会主席寻求指导,并练习回答口头问题。我甚至停止了实验室工作,专注于考试准备。我全身心投入。可知,作者准备充足,甚至停止做实验室工作,所以A项"准备不足"和D项" 实验室工作时间太长了"不是影响作者在第三次考试中的表现;再结合第五段中的"I speak Spanish at home, but I have difficulty translating even the simplest scientific concepts into Spanish. This hampered my ability to comfortably speak the expected ‘language of science.'"我在家里说西班牙语,但即使是最简单的科学概念,我也很难翻译成西班牙语。这妨碍了我轻松地说预期的"科学语言"。可知,是因为她缺乏语言能力影响了她在第三次考试中的表现,B项"自信心减少"并没有提到。故选C。

(2022高三上·济南开学考)阅读理解
When Christopher Moore
isn't jumping rope, shooting baskets or playing the board game Chutes and
Ladders, the 8-year-old can often be found at home using his fighting skills,
protecting the world from would-be enemies. "I'm trying to save the other
people from being hurt," he said of his Avatar video game adventures.
The Moore household,
in Birmingham, Alabama, enjoys a good mix of at-home entertainment, something
they are doing more and more during these precarious financial times, "They're
always in competition," the boys' mother, Lisa Moore, said with a laugh. "It
keeps them busy. It keeps them occupied."
Numbers show that
at-home entertainment is doing better than ever, flying in the financial face
of so many industries that are struggling in this difficult time.
The gaming experience,
too, has changed with the years. Five years ago, online gaming was considered a
one-person activity. And although games can still be played alone, the social
factor is growing quickly. "Over a third of families will play games
together online." said David Williams, who heads up the Kids and Family
Games Group. "They're staying home more, and they're using games to
connect with one another."
When it comes to the
games children play, many parents such as Lisa Moore may choose to sit it out.
But Christina Vercelletto, a senior editor at Parenting magazine, says that
engaging in the games with them can do a family good. "It can be an
opportunity to bond with your kids," she said. If parents express
interest, kids "will probably be heated. And you'll get a little window
into what has them so excited." Plus, by playing the games, parents can
determine how comfortable they are with what their kids are doing.
For those who want to
get the opinions of others, Christina Vercelletto points out that the
Entertainment Software Rating Board provides feedback and that parents are
always learning from one another on discussion boards.
8.What does the underlined word "precarious" in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Appropriate. B.Precious. C.Stable. D.Tough.
9.Which of the following shows the benefit of at-home entertainment
A.Controlling children's behavior. B.Helping solve financial trouble.
C.Making a good family relationship. D.Forming a sense of independence.
10.What should parents do while their kids are playing games according to Christina
A.Join in. B.Sit out. C.Watch out. D.Walk around.
11.What is the main topic of the text
A.Family relationship. B.At-home entertainment.
C.Benefits of playing games. D.Ways to connect with kids.
【答案】8.D
9.C
10.A
11.B
【知识点】主旨大意;词义猜测题;细节理解题;说明文;社会现象类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了在经济困难时期,居家娱乐却做的越来越好。近年来游戏体验在变,过去网络游戏针对于个人,现在人们在家的时间更多,他们通过游戏彼此连接。而且,父母和孩子们一起参与到游戏中还会有助于家庭关系。所以越来越多的人参与到居家娱乐中。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,词义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是一篇社会现象类阅读,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。
8.考查词义猜测。根据第三段“Numbers show that at-home entertainment is doing better than ever, flying in the financial face of so many industries that are struggling in this difficult time.”数据表明居家娱乐正在比以前做的更好,在金融方面与许多在困难时期挣扎的行业相悖。可知现在的金融时期是艰难的。所以划线词precarious表示艰难的,与tough同义。故选D。
9.考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“But Christina Vercelletto, a senior editor at Parenting magazine, says that engaging in the games with them can do a family good.”但是育儿杂志的一名高级编辑Christina Vercelletto说和孩子们一起参与到游戏中对家庭有好处;以及“ Plus, by playing the games, parents can determine how comfortable they are with what their kids are doing.”而且,通过玩游戏,父母可以确定他们在孩子们所做的事情方面是多么的自在。可知,居家娱乐可以促进父母和孩子的家庭关系。故选C。
10.考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“But Christina Vercelletto, a senior editor at Parenting magazine, says that engaging in the games with them can do a family good.”但是育儿杂志的一名高级编辑Christina Vercelletto说和孩子们一起参与到游戏中对家庭有好处。可知,Christina认为父母参与到孩子的游戏中有助于家庭关系,所以她认为孩子们玩游戏时,父母要加入。故选A。
11.考查主旨大意。通读全文可知,第一段通过介绍Christopher Moore的活动引出居家娱乐。后文围绕着居家娱乐的发展以及优点展开介绍。所以整篇文章以居家娱乐为主题展开,故选B。

What kinds of rooms are your favorite spots for studying We are going to guess that they are probably not painted bright red or yellow.But maybe they should be.Imagine.You are suddenly asked to prepare for an exam.You have two rooms to choose from. One is a pale blue,and the other is a bright red. Which one do you settle into for study Is one going to get your brain fired up for learning, or let you relax into a best state of concentration
According to researchers at Curtin University in Australia, it might be the best to camp out in the bright red room when you are looking to store information. It might sound strange, since we often think of pale rooms-soft blues or light greens-as relaxing, or even reassuring(令人安心的).And they seem to be:The Curtin University study showed that pale colors made participants feel more relaxed and calm,while bright colors increased heart rate. But calming and relaxing, it turns out, may not always be the best environment for deep concentration or knowledge gaining.Reading comprehension(阅读理解)was much better in the bright rooms than in the paler rooms.Although participants reported that they generally preferred the pale rooms to study in as an approach to relax into work,the researchers saw just the opposite-that the bright-colored rooms seemed to lead to greater concentration.
While this might seem only surprising,the finding gets into a rather controversial area of psychological(心理学的)study.The Yerkes-Dodson Law says that a little bit of stress is good for achieving best performance, while too much stress negatively affects it. The higher heart rate and the reports of the bright colors creating a heavy atmosphere might just suggest that a little stress was good for the brain.
12.What is the common idea mentioned in the first paragraph
A.Few people like bright red or yellow.
B.Pale colors are connected with good grades.
C.Light-colored rooms make you feel nervous.
D.Bright-colored rooms are not good for studying.
13.What might directly affect the research results according to Paragraph 2
A.Participants' preferences in colors.
B.How participants reacted to colors.
C.Time participants spent in the rooms.
D.What participants read in the rooms.
14.What can be concluded from the study by Curtin University
A.Most people know how to make use of colors.
B.Stress is needed when you want to concentrate.
C.The higher the stress, the better your performance.
D.Being relaxed is very important to people studying.
15.What's the main idea of the text
A.Findings about people's favourite room colors.
B.Bright-colored rooms can create a heavy atmosphere.
C.Room colors can affect one's academic performance.
D.Light-colored rooms help people feel relaxed into work.
【答案】12.D

12.考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"What kinds of rooms are your favorite spots for studying We are going to guess that they are probably not painted bright red or yellow."什么样的房间是你最喜欢的学习场所?我们将猜测它们可能没有被涂成鲜红色或黄色。可推知,人们普遍的观点是色彩明亮的房间不利于学习。故选D。
13.考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"And they seem to be: The Curtin University study showed that pale colors made participants feel more relaxed and calm, while bright colors increased heart rate."事实似乎是这样的:柯廷大学的研究表明,苍白的颜色使参与者感到更放松和平静,而明亮的颜色则增加了心率。可知,直接影响研究结果的是参与者对颜色的反应。故选B。
14.考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"Although participants reported that they generally preferred the pale rooms to study in as an approach to relax into work, the researchers saw just the opposite — that the bright-colored rooms seemed to lead to greater concentration."尽管参与者报告说,他们通常更喜欢在浅色的房间里学习,以此作为放松工作的一种方式,但研究人员看到的恰恰相反——明亮的房间似乎能让人更集中注意力。可知,色彩明亮的房间可以制造适当的压力,让人们学习时能够更加集中注意力。可推知,当你想集中注意力时,压力是必要的。故选B。
15.考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的"What kinds of rooms are your favorite spots for studying "什么样的房间是你最喜欢的学习场所?可知,本文与适合学习的房间颜色有关,然后在第二段中介绍Curtin大学的相关研究,研究人员发现色彩艳丽的房间让人感到压力,却更能让人集中注意力,最后一段则介绍初步结论——适当压力会让人取得好成绩。即房间的颜色会影响学习成绩。"房间的颜色会影响一个人的学习成绩",适合做文章标题,故选C。

Several days later, they returned home a little earlier than they had planned. As they drove back to their hometown, John and Mary noticed smoke and went to see what it was. They found a house was on fire. "OH, well, it isn't our house. Let's go home," Mary said.
But John drove closer and screamed in surprise, "That's Jordan's home. He works in a factory. He wouldn't be off work yet. Maybe there is something we can do to help."
"It has nothing to do with us," cried Mary. "You have your good clothes on, so let's not get any closer."
John didn't listen to Mary. He drove up and stopped. They were both shocked to see the whole house was on fire. A woman was crying in the yard, "The children! Get the children!"
John seized her by the shoulder and shouted to her, "Don't cry! Tell me where the children are!""In the basement(地下室),"cried the woman,"down the hall and to the left."
John used water to get his clothes wet and put a wet towel on his head before rushing to the basement. The house was full of smoke and fire, and it was very difficult for him to find the children. But he made it. He held one under each arm. As he left, he could hear some more crying. He took the two kids out of the house and into the fresh air, and then asked the women how many more children were still down there.

My PhD adviser informed me I had failed my qualifying exam at my third attempt, which meant the dismissal(开除)from the program.How was it possible that one exam-one hour of my life-could define me as unfit to be a scientist
I wasn't sure what to expect when I started my PhD program.I struggled with my classes during my first year, spending coutless hours studying in the library. I ended that year with increased confidence.But soon my confidence went away when I made my first attempt at the qualifying exam.I had switched research projects 5 months earlier, after my first adviser left the university,so I wasn't so confident of going into the exam.Besides,I had never taken an oral exam before,so the experience was terrifying.
Once it was over, my committee told me I'd conditionally passed,which meant I had to take more time to study and prepare to talk about the topic further.I was shaken but still hopeful.But when I retook the exam,I failed again.That's when I was told I'd have one more chance.
For the next 5 months,I asked my committee chairs for guidance and practiced answering oral questions. I even stopped doing lab work to focus on my exam preparations.I was all in.
When the exam was over, I left the room feeling a mix of fear and relief. But those feelings changed to disappointment the next day after I learned I'd failed.I speak Spanish at home,but I have difficulty translating even the simplest scientific concepts into Spanish. This held back my ability to comfortably speak the expected"language of science".
My adviser requested to reinstate(使重返岗位)me'to the PhD program,and I'm now back to working on my doctorate.I still have a little voice in the back of my head that I' not good enough.But I try to stop it by surrounding myself with professors who support me and by staying focused on developing into the great scientist I know I can be. I am much more than that one-hour exam.

When Christopher Moore
isn't jumping rope, shooting baskets or playing the board game Chutes and
Ladders, the 8-year-old can often be found at home using his fighting skills,
protecting the world from would-be enemies. "I'm trying to save the other
people from being hurt," he said of his Avatar video game adventures.
The Moore household,
in Birmingham, Alabama, enjoys a good mix of at-home entertainment, something
they are doing more and more during these precarious financial times, "They're
always in competition," the boys' mother, Lisa Moore, said with a laugh. "It
keeps them busy. It keeps them occupied."
Numbers show that
at-home entertainment is doing better than ever, flying in the financial face
of so many industries that are struggling in this difficult time.
The gaming experience,
too, has changed with the years. Five years ago, online gaming was considered a
one-person activity. And although games can still be played alone, the social
factor is growing quickly. "Over a third of families will play games
together online." said David Williams, who heads up the Kids and Family
Games Group. "They're staying home more, and they're using games to
connect with one another."
When it comes to the
games children play, many parents such as Lisa Moore may choose to sit it out.
But Christina Vercelletto, a senior editor at Parenting magazine, says that
engaging in the games with them can do a family good. "It can be an
opportunity to bond with your kids," she said. If parents express
interest, kids "will probably be heated. And you'll get a little window
into what has them so excited." Plus, by playing the games, parents can
determine how comfortable they are with what their kids are doing.
For those who want to
get the opinions of others, Christina Vercelletto points out that the
Entertainment Software Rating Board provides feedback and that parents are
always learning from one another on discussion boards.
8.What does the underlined word "precarious" in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Appropriate. B.Precious. C.Stable. D.Tough.
9.Which of the following shows the benefit of at-home entertainment
A.Controlling children's behavior. B.Helping solve financial trouble.
C.Making a good family relationship. D.Forming a sense of independence.
10.What should parents do while their kids are playing games according to Christina
A.Join in. B.Sit out. C.Watch out. D.Walk around.
11.What is the main topic of the text
A.Family relationship. B.At-home entertainment.
C.Benefits of playing games. D.Ways to connect with kids.

What kinds of rooms are your favorite spots for studying We are going to guess that they are probably not painted bright red or yellow.But maybe they should be.Imagine.You are suddenly asked to prepare for an exam.You have two rooms to choose from. One is a pale blue,and the other is a bright red. Which one do you settle into for study Is one going to get your brain fired up for learning, or let you relax into a best state of concentration
According to researchers at Curtin University in Australia, it might be the best to camp out in the bright red room when you are looking to store information. It might sound strange, since we often think of pale rooms-soft blues or light greens-as relaxing, or even reassuring(令人安心的).And they seem to be:The Curtin University study showed that pale colors made participants feel more relaxed and calm,while bright colors increased heart rate. But calming and relaxing, it turns out, may not always be the best environment for deep concentration or knowledge gaining.Reading comprehension(阅读理解)was much better in the bright rooms than in the paler rooms.Although participants reported that they generally preferred the pale rooms to study in as an approach to relax into work,the researchers saw just the opposite-that the bright-colored rooms seemed to lead to greater concentration.
While this might seem only surprising,the finding gets into a rather controversial area of psychological(心理学的)study.The Yerkes-Dodson Law says that a little bit of stress is good for achieving best performance, while too much stress negatively affects it. The higher heart rate and the reports of the bright colors creating a heavy atmosphere might just suggest that a little stress was good for the brain.
12.What is the common idea mentioned in the first paragraph
A.Few people like bright red or yellow.
B.Pale colors are connected with good grades.
C.Light-colored rooms make you feel nervous.
D.Bright-colored rooms are not good for studying.
13.What might directly affect the research results according to Paragraph 2
A.Participants' preferences in colors.
B.How participants reacted to colors.
C.Time participants spent in the rooms.
D.What participants read in the rooms.
14.What can be concluded from the study by Curtin University
A.Most people know how to make use of colors.
B.Stress is needed when you want to concentrate.
C.The higher the stress, the better your performance.
D.Being relaxed is very important to people studying.
15.What's the main idea of the text
A.Findings about people's favourite room colors.
B.Bright-colored rooms can create a heavy atmosphere.
C.Room colors can affect one's academic performance.
D.Light-colored rooms help people feel relaxed into work.

"It has nothing to do with us," cried Mary. "You have your good clothes on, so let's not get any closer."
John didn't listen to Mary. He drove up and stopped. They were both shocked to see the whole house was on fire. A woman was crying in the yard, "The children! Get the children!"
John seized her by the shoulder and shouted to her, "Don't cry! Tell me where the children are!""In the basement(地下室),"cried the woman,"down the hall and to the left."
John used water to get his clothes wet and put a wet towel on his head before rushing to the basement. The house was full of smoke and fire, and it was very difficult for him to find the children. But he made it. He held one under each arm. As he left, he could hear some more crying. He took the two kids out of the house and into the fresh air, and then asked the women how many more children were still down there.
