Although I had been productive early in my graduate career, my long hours and hard work were no longer translating into success in the laboratory, and I felt hopeless about achieving my goals.
As I began to search for the cause of my struggles, I became increasingly aware that my "quiet time" at the lab bench was anything but. Instead of thinking about science, I was watching television or interacting with social media on my smartphone. Although I could mask this inefficiency (低效率) with longer hours, my work felt disorganized. Through reflection, I came to understand my problem.
To make a change, I reduced my connectivity by using a basic mobile phone without an Internet connection during work hours, and removing unnecessary apps from my smartphone when I did use it. Things didn't go smoothly in the beginning, but with time, I started reading papers during long experiments, and began a habit of writing in my down time. These practices have already made success: I am currently preparing a review article for publication with my adviser. I have also felt more engaged in meetings – coming better prepared, asking questions and taking hand-written notes. Perhaps most importantly, I have felt my anxiety about work efficiency disappear and that my disorganized work-life relationship is traded for one with clearer boundaries.
Changing my smartphone habits has also created challenges. Not all my friends have been supportive of my reduced connectivity, and I have missed messages on communication services. Yet these problems have been a small price to pay for increased productivity. So if you find yourself in this situation, I encourage you to build down time and uninterrupted study into your schedule, which could be significant for your success.
(1)、What does the underlined expression "my ‘quiet time' at the lab bench was anything but" mean in paragraph 2?A、Screen time took up too much of my work hours. B、I was busy in reflecting on my work inefficiency. C、I always had a good rest quietly at the laboratory bench. D、Watching TV on my phone is always my choice during a break.(2)、According to the author, what is the major benefit of changing smartphone habits?A、Enough time to read papers. B、A good balance between work and life. C、The ability to publish scientific articles. D、More chances to attend important meetings.(3)、What can be learned from the last paragraph?A、A full schedule for study is important in determining people's career. B、The author's friends didn't support his decision on smartphone usage. C、Missed messages on communication apps didn't cause trouble to the author. D、It is worthwhile to reduce the connectivity on smartphone despite challenges.(4)、From the passage we can know that the author ____.A、cared about what others said very much B、hoped to help others by sharing his own experience C、chose to stop using his smartphone to make a change D、tried many times to improve his work efficiency but failed18. 阅读理解Sugar-free cookies, sugar-free candy, and diet soda – are these better for you? After sugar became a no-no in the nutrition and wellness world, sugar-free food and drinks acted as a replacement for once beloved sweet drinks and snacks. Being claimed to be ZERO sugar means the food and drinks are healthier, better for diabetics, and help you slim down… Right? Wrong. Sugar-free products aren't better for you. In fact, they are worse. For most sugar-free products, it means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar. The problem is that these sweeteners do not come from natural sources and they can do you more harm than good.
Let's get into what these artificial sweeteners actually are. Sugar-free sugar sounds wrong because there is no such thing as sugar-free sugar. Some of these sugar-free alternatives even contain sugar and the ones that have chemicals your body often does not know how to process. Most artificial sweeteners are a lot sweeter than sugar so only a small quantity of them are needed. That's why they can market sugar-free alternatives as "low-calorie" or "no-calorie". It also means that you get no nutritional value from consuming them, which is why so many sugar-free replacements are classified as "non-nutritive". These artificial sweeteners tend to hide under some names. Actually, they are 200-600 times sweeter than sugar.
When you eat sweet stuff, your body continues to desire it and, even though your body cannot metabolize (代谢) these sugar-free alternatives, your brain does not know the difference. In turn sugar-free alternatives relate to weight gain and Type-2 diabetes. Besides, artificial sweeteners also damage your gut's ability to break down sugar which impacts everything you eat. In other words, your body doesn't know how to handle artificial sweeteners because they have nothing real to process.
Here is a good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like stevia (甜叶菊) or date sugar. In the war against artificial sweeteners and real sugar, both lose. Satisfy your sweet tooth with natural sugar that comes from fruits and stay away from products claimed to be sugar-free.
(1)、What do most sugar-free products have in common?A、They don't taste sweet. B、They are free of calories. C、They are rich in nutrition. D、They have artificial sweeteners.(2)、What can be inferred about artificial sweeteners?A、They are as sweet as sugar. B、They pose a big risk to health. C、They can be metabolized easily. D、They have long been added to food.(3)、What does the author advise us to do?A、To keep a balanced diet. B、To stay away from sugary products. C、To choose fewer artificial ingredients. D、To take in sugar from natural sources.(4)、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A、Why are sugar-free products bad for your health? B、How will sugar-free products affect your body? C、What can be called sugar-free products? D、Why are sugar-free products popular?19. 阅读理解Quantum mechanics (量子力学) is a branch of science that studies the smallest particles (粒子) in the universe, like atoms (原子) and even smaller things. It might sound super complex, but let's break it down in simple language.
Imagine you have a small particle, like an atom. In the world of quantum mechanics, these particles don't behave like the things we see in our everyday lives, like balls or cars. Instead, they act kind of like waves and particles at the same time, which is really strange!
One of the most famous ideas in quantum mechanics is the "Uncertainty Principle", raised by physicist Wemer Heisenberg. This principle says that we can't precisely know both the position and the speed of particle at the same time. It's not because our measuring tools are bad; it's because the particles themselves are naturally uncertain.
Another weird thing about quantum mechanics is something called "Entanglement". Imagine you have two particles that are connected in a special way. If you change one of them, the other instantly changes, no matter how far apart they are. It's like they're talking to each other faster than the speed of light, which goes against what we know from everyday experiences.
Quantum mechanics also deals with probabilities. Instead of saying, "This particle will be here at this exact time," scientists say, "There's a certain chance it'll be here, and a certain chance it won't." It's like predicting the weather, but on a super small scale.
In a nutshell, quantum mechanics is a strange and fascinating world where particles act both like waves and particles, where you can't know everything about a particle at once, and where particles can be mysteriously connected no matter how far apart they are. It's a mind-boggling field that challenges our understanding of how the universe works, and even though it's tough to grasp, it's an essential part of modern physics.
(1)、How does the author illustrate the behavior patterns of particles in paragraph 2?A、By presenting reliable technical data. B、By comparing them to everyday objects. C、By clarifying quantum mechanics concepts. D、By associating them with chemical reactions.(2)、What do the "Uncertainty Principle" and "Entanglement" reveal about particles?A、Their physical appearances. B、Their speed limitations. C、Their unusual properties. D、Their predictable movements.(3)、Why do scientists use probabilities in quantum mechanics?A、Accurate forecasts are tough. B、They are analyzing lots of data. C、The scale of studies varies greatly. D、Detailed studies are time-consuming.(4)、What does the text mainly tell us about quantum mechanics?A、Its developmental history. B、Its research challenges. C、Its unexpected applications. D、Its underlying principles.三、阅读理解第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
