Ⅰ．阅读理解
A篇（限时6分钟）
(2022·福州市高中毕业班质量检测)
When I stepped into the Samcheong Park Library in Seoul，I saw the future．The simple
building had a nice selection of books and a cafe where readers could enjoy coffee while gazing at the leaves outside．It was specifically designed without any latest technology．
“What's so innovative about that？”a librarian in Toronto asked when I showed her pictures．Innovation to her meant digital technology，like 3-D printers．“Why couldn't they both be innovative？” I asked．
We are constantly told that innovation is the most important force in our economy，without which we would be left behind．But that fear of missing out has led us to fall into the false traps of innovation over truly innovative ideas that may be simpler and more effective．This mindset implies that if you just buy the new thing，you have innovated! Each year，businesses and individuals run around like broken toy robots，trying to figure out their strategy for the latest buzzword equipment．At best，this is a waste of resources．Devices are bought，used and abandoned，as the technology's capabilities fall short of its promise．But at its worst，this approach can truly cause damage．Schools cut field trips to purchase tablets with few proven benefits．Companies that applied AI to hiring have actually strengthened gender and racial prejudices．
True innovation isn't just some magic devices．It is a continuing process of reflection and reassessment，which often means adopting “old” ideas and tools in a new context，or even returning to methods that worked in the past．Adjusted properly，these rearview (后视的) innovations have proved as transformative as novel technologies．
Look no farther than the streets of New York，which have been redesigned recently to accommodate cyclists with car-free zones．The idea isn't new．It was created half a century ago，with the aim of bringing cities back to their residents．And while e-reader sales have been exploding，Penguin just announced it would publish tiny printed books，an ideal solution for a market demanding both convenience and practicability．
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。

作者由自己在首尔一家图书馆的经历引出什么是真正的创新这一话题，并通过论证告诉大家：真正的创新是不断反思、重新评估，是将传统的方法、工具应用到新的环境当中。

1．Why is a librarian mentioned?
A．To set an example．
B．To cite an authority．
C．To make a prediction．
D．To present an argument．
D[写作意图题。

结合第一、二段可知，作者认为Samcheong Park Library传统复古的做法具有创新性，并将这张照片拿给多伦多的一位图书馆馆长欣赏，对方不以为然。

于是，作者
通过反问提出了自己的论点“难道复古的图书馆和智能设备不都是创新吗？”，故D项正确。

]
2．What does the underlined word “buzzword” mean in Para．3? A．Fashionable．B．Affordable．C．Practical．D．Imaginative．
A[词义猜测题。

根据画线词前的“This mindset implies that if you just buy the new thing，you have innovated！”可知，错误的创新观认为购买新的东西即是创新；再结合第五段中的“novel technologies”可知，此处讲到的最新的设备应该是新潮的、时尚的设备，故A项与画线词的意义最为接近。

此外，从做题的角度来讲，本题也可用排除法，将干扰项代入原文一一排除。

]
3．What does the writer agree with about innovation?
A．Wasted resources lead to innovation．
B．Magic devices encourage innovation．
C．Innovation should be human-centered．
D．The power of technology is undervalued．
C[推理判断题。

根据最后一段中的“with the aim...convenience and practicability”可以推断，作者认同创新应该是以人为本的这个观点，故C项正确。

(2022·甘肃省第二次高考诊断考试)
Going to sleep at a certain time is associated with a lower risk of developing heart disease，according to researchers．In a study published in the European Heart Journal，a team found that going to sleep between 10：00 pm and 11：00 pm was beneficial compared to earlier or later bedtime．The research included 88，026 participants in the UK．
An analysis found that sleep onset time of 10：00 pm to 10：59 pm was associated with the lowest incidence of heart disease．There was a 25% higher risk of heart disease with the sleep onset at midnight or later，a 12% greater risk for 11：00 pm to 11：59 pm and a 24% higher risk for falling asleep before 10：00 pm compared to the sleep onset from 10：00 pm to 10：59 pm．“The body has a 24-hour internal clock that helps adjust physical and mental functioning，”study author David of the University of Exeter said in a statement．“While we cannot conclude it from our study，the results suggest that early or late bedtime may be more likely to destroy the body clock．”“While the findings do not show the conclusion，sleep timing has appeared as a potential heart disease risk factor—independent of other risk factors．If our findings are proved in other studies，sleep timing and basic sleep health could be a low-cost public health
target for lowering the risk of heart disease，” David added．

(2022·昆明市“三诊一模”教学质量检测)
There is a time when many Americans question whether a college degree is worth its cost．However，a recent study found Americans who completed college or university are more likely to have friends and are less lonely than those who only finished high school．Daniel Cox，director of the Survey Center on American Life，said that in general Americans are experiencing a “friend recession”，meaning a decline in their number of friends．Cox noted “Americans have fewer close friends today than we did in the early 1990s．But men and those without a college degree are particularly affected because they seem to have experienced a much more dramatic decline over that period”．
The Center questioned 5，054 people this past summer．It found Americans with a college degree feel more socially connected and are more active in their communities than people who didn't go to college．As a result，those who completed college report feeling less lonely．Previous research showed that Americans who didn't go to college are less likely to marry．A 2012 study found that college-educated women are much more likely to get married than women who dropped out of high school．A 2013 study of people born between 1957 and 1964 found that both men and women who didn't finish high school are less likely to marry than those with more education．
Today，65 percent of college-educated Americans over age 25 are married．About 50 percent of people with a high school diploma，or who dropped out of high school，are married．Those numbers were different in 1990，when marriage rates among the college graduates were at 69 percent，compared with 63 percent for those who did not go to college，says a Pew research report．The American Community Life Survey found around 1 in 10 college graduates say they have no close social connections．That number rises among Americans without a degree，where almost 1 in 4 say they have no close friends．
