D.Impressive.【答案】1.D2.C3.B【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的嘴唇上生来带有一块胎记，作者在成长过程中总是被问及这块胎记，让作者感到厌烦。每年作者都计划做手术切除它们，但是当想象这个过程的时候，总是很紧张，然后就放弃了。最后作者在自信的表姐的激励下，终于接受了自己是谁，现在当别人问起的时候，也不再犹豫。【1题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“Inpictures,IusedtohidemybirthmarksbypursingmylipssoIwouldn’thavetodealwithpeople’squestions.AsIwasgrowingup,peopleworemeoutwiththem.Somepeoplewouldaskmethesamequestionsevenbeforeknowingmyname.(在照片中，我撅起嘴唇来隐藏我的胎记，这样我就不用面对别人的问题了。在我成长的过程中，人们让我筋疲力尽。有些人甚至不知道我的名字就问我同样的问题)”可知，当被问及胎记时，作者感到很厌烦。故选D。【2题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Once,hergrandmothertoldherthatthebirthmarklookedextremelyprominentandsuggestedthatsheshouldwearlongsleevesmoreoften.Ifmycousinhadactuallytakenthatsuggestion,shewouldn’tbesuchapersonassheis.(有一次，她的祖母告诉她那胎记看起来特别突出，建议她多穿长袖衣服。如果我表姐真的接受了这个建议，她就不是她了)”以及最后一段中“Inspiredbymycousin,IamfinallyacceptingwhoIamandnowIdon’thesitatewhensomeoneasksmeaboutthemeither.(在我表姐的激励下，我终于接受了我是谁，现在当别人问起我的时候，我也不会犹豫)”可推知，作者的表姐比作者更自信。故选C。3题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“suggestedthatsheshouldwearlongsleevesmoreoften”可知，因为表姐的胎记看起来特别明显，所以祖母建议她多穿长袖衣服。故划线词意思为“明显的”。A.Brilliant.杰出的；B.Obvious.明显的；C.Harmful.有害的；D.Impressive.令人印象深刻的。故选B。BWhenyouralarmclockringsandyoudragyourselfoutofbed,youprobablywonder:Whyonearthdoesschoolhavetostartsoearly?Fortunately,thereisanewlawtobackyouup—orbetterstill,science.AlawinCaliforniarequiresthatpublicmiddleschoolsbeginclassesnoearlierthan8:00amandthathighschoolsstartnoearlierthan8:30am.ThelawwillgointoeffectbyJuly1,2022.Startingschoolat8:00or8:30inthemorningmaynotsoundlikeabigchange,butitcouldmeanonemorehourofsleepforstudentswhousedtostartschoolat7:30orevenearlier.“Theeffectofthatonehourissomethingtheywillbefeelingas40-year-oldadults,”SumitBhargava,asleepexpertatStanfordUniversity,toldTheNewYorkTimes.Hesaidthatnothavingenoughsleepcanaffectstudents’mentalhealthandincreasetheriskoffatnessanddiabetes.Intheshortrun,students’schoolperformancesshouldimprovealmostimmediately.KylaWahlstrom,aresearcherattheUniversityofMinnesota’sCollegeofEducationandHumanDevelopment,foundthatstudentswhohaveenoughsleeparemoreactiveinclassandgetbettergrades.Somemightsaythaturgingstudentstogotobedearliercouldhavebeenamucheasiersolutionthanchangingtheschooltimetableacrossanentirestate.ButaccordingtotheAmericanAcademyofSleepMedicine,teenagersgothroughbiologicalchangeswhentheyenteradolescence,whichmakesitdifficultforthemtofallasleepbefore11:00pm.Sowhenschoolstartsat8:00orearlier,theycanhardlygettheideal8.5-9.5hoursofsleepthatexpertssuggesttheyneedtodotheirbestinthedaytime.Thisiswhywhenthenewlawcameout,itsauthor,AnthonyPortantino,said,“Generationsofchildrenwillcometoappreciatethishistoricdayandourgovernorfortakingboldaction.”4.Whatdoesthefirstparagraphserveas?A.Abackground.
