Sick while in motion

As the weather gets warmer, there are few things that are better to do than travel. But traveling might not be that fun for everyone, especially for those who have motion sickness.

Motion sickness is also called travel sickness. It is a common experience for many people. Depending on how you travel, it can be called carsickness or seasickness. People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while they are in motion. They feel sick and dizzy, like the room around them won’t stop spinning.

It is generally believed that motion sickness happens when your senses become confused with each other, Scientific American reported.

We use different parts of our body to sense movement. Our eyes tell us if we are moving. The inner ears contain a special liquid that helps us sense our direction and balance. Our muscles react to movement.

When you move around, these body parts work well together. But when you are in a car or an airplane, they get confused. Your inner ear signals that you’re moving, but your eyes say you’re sitting still because you can’t see that you’re moving. This mismatch gives us motion sickness.

But some people are less sensitive to motion sickness. This may be because they have certain genes that prevent mismatching senses, Bethann Hromatka, a genetics expert from the US, told the Atlantic.

Although there are many ways to deal with motion sickness, scientists believe that the key is to simply try to adapt to it. For example, some astronauts do special exercises that give them mild motion sickness. After a week or two, the astronauts become used to it and don’t feel uncomfortable anymore, Sam Puma, a NASA flight doctor, told the BBC.

【1】People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while they are ________.

A．sleeping

B．driving

C．in motion

D．in bed

【2】According to paragraph 3, if your senses become confused with each other, ________.

A．you may have cold

C．you cannot drive

D．you should sleep

【3】The special liquid in the inner ears can sense________.

A．movement and sickness

B．direction and balance

C．movement and balance

D．direction and movement

【4】Bethann Hromatka thinks that________may prevent mismatching senses.

A．certain genes

B．the speed of car

C．motion

D．travelling

【5】What’s the purpose of the passage?

A．To introduce motion sickness.

B．To introduce sickness.

C．To introduce gene.

D．To introduce the parts of body.

22、As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.

Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains（窗帘）seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination（想象）would lie very still so that the “enemy（敌人）” would not discover me.

Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get on the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.

Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.

One of the processes（过程）of growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

【1】The author had _________ kind(s) of fears when she was a child.

A．one

B．two

C．three

D．none

【2】__________ would scare the author at night.

A．Streetlights and car lights

B．Wild animals and enemies

C．Moving curtains and wind

D．Strange sights and sounds

【3】When she went to some other places, she would _________.

A．walk away without others

B．take a bus by herself

C．follow others closely

D．make sure not to take a wrong bus

【4】The underlined word “overcome” means “_______” in Chinese.

A．接受

B．忍受

C．信服

D．克服

【5】From this story we learn that it’s important to __________.

A．care for others

B．share with others

C．help others

D．scare others

23、“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost everything.

When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say. “It’s cool.” You may think “He’s so cool,”when you see your favorite football player.

We all maximize(扩大)the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words, such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her student to write about the waterfall(瀑布) they had visited. On the student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.”Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.

But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性).Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.

【1】In the passage, the underlined word “express” means “_______”.

A.see B.show C.know D.feel

【2】If you are ________ something, you may say,“It’s cool.”

A.interested in B.angry about

C.worried about D.unhappy with

【3】The writer takes an example to show he is ________ the way the word is used.

A.pleased with B.strange to

C.worried about D.unhappy with

【4】In the passage, the writer suggests(暗示)that the word “cool”___________.

A.can be used instead of many words

B.usually means something interesting

C.can make your life colorful

D.may not be as cool as it seems

24、A friend wrote me a letter a few weeks ago. He felt hopeless at the time. He ended his letter with this question, “We can’t really change this crazy world we live in, can we?” I replied to him and started my own letter with these words, “Yes, we most certainly can!”

I can still remember someone who changed my world. She was a music teacher at my primary school. She was good at playing the guitar. I wanted to impress her. However, I didn’t know how to play any instruments.

One day, she let me try playing her guitar. I did my best, but could only sturmble along. When I was done, I put my head down. “I guess I am not very good, ” I told her. She looked at me with her kind eyes, smiled at me and said, “We are all good at something. You just need to find out what you are good at. Then, you can share it with the world.”

Those simple words changed me. They planted a seed(种子) in my soul that continues to grow to this day. They made me realize that I had something good inside me. I just had to find it and share it.

Can you change the world? Yes, you can! You can change it through one choice, one person, or one kind act at a time. All you have to do is share your goodness. Mother Teresa once said, “God doesn’t ask us to do great things, only small things with great love.” So make your love great!

【1】Whose words changed the writer’s life?

A．His friend’s.

B．The music teacher’s.

C．Mother Teresa’s.

【2】What do the underlined words “sturmble along” mean in Chinese according to the passage?

A．蹒跚前行

B．使劲按压

C．断断续续弹奏

【3】Why did the writer mention his music teacher?

A．To introduce his music teacher to his friend.

B．To impress his friend with his music talent.

C．To give an example of someone who changed his world.

【4】In what order did the following events take place ?

a. The writer received his friend’s letter.

b. The writer tried to encourage his friend with his reply.

c. The writer tried to play his teacher’s guitar.

d. The writer learned something from his teacher’s words .

A．c-d-a-b

B．b-c-d-a

C．a-b-c-d

【5】What is the main idea of the story?

A．Nobody can be good at everything.

B．We can change the world by sharing our goodness.

C．People should never change the world they live in.

25、   When you're sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins(边缘) of your notebooks? If so, your teacher may have told you to stop 【1】 them. Many people think of doodling (涂鸦）as distraction（精神涣散) from more important things 【2】 it might be just the opposite.

Some people realize that drawing may help you remember things you hear. In 2019 researchers asked two 【3】 of people to listen to a phone message and then gave them the same task of remembering the information from it. The researchers encouraged one group to doodle, but not the 【4】 . At last, the group that doodled remembered 29 percent more.

Other people have found other uses for doodling.

Jesse Prinz, a professor who studies doodling, says it can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw might actually help you 【5】 it. When you come back, you will have a fresh idea and work out an answer more quickly.

Two years ago, an author named Sunni Brown wrote a book on doodling. Many people regard doodling 【6】 doing nothing, but 【7】 she doesn't think so. She argues that in fact, doodling is a tool that can help people think, it isn't useless at all. Through doing experiments(实验), Brown shows doodling incorporates (整合) many ways of learning. You use four ways seeing, hearing, reading or writing through doodling. The 【8】 ways you use, the better you learn. And when you doodle while you are listening to lecture(讲座), you use all four.

You might think that being good at drawing is important for doodling. But if doodling is to help you think, it doesn't matter what the picture looks like. So next time you need help to focus, pick up pen and doodle away.
