阅读强化训练(七)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解There’s no such thing as showering too much, right? Wrong.Despite the practice that many people shower once or twice a day, we’re only meant to shower once or twice a week. As experts say, humandaily showering is mainly for the love for beauty.Speaking to TIME, Dr. Elaine Larson, an expert from ColumbiaUniversity School of Nursing argues, “People think they’re showeringto keep clean, but that’s not the case. Bathing will remove smells if you have unpleasant smell on your body or you are back from the gym. But in terms of protecting you from illness, washing your hands regularly is probably adequate.”Larson’s research turns out, antibacterial soaps and cleaning products are not any better than a regular bar of soap when it comes to lowering your risk of getting diseases, so the fancy soaps you bought are probably a waste of money.The more you bathe, the thinner and less hydrated(含水的) your skin becomes. Dry skin opens up gaps for infection(感染) and causes bacteria to slip through. Washing can also clear away your skin of its natural oils and may destroy the bacteria that support the immune(免疫的) system on your skin, according to Dr. C. Brandon Mitchell, assistant professor of dermatology at the George Washington University. Both Mitchell and Larson recommend that you shouldn’t use antibacterial soaps that are particularly bad for removing essential oils. Mitchell adds, “Your body is naturally a welloiled machine. A daily shower isn’t necessary. The rest of your body doesn’t need much soaping.”So, in terms of your health, you should probably only shower once or twice a week, in terms of how you look and smell might be a different story. A recent study shows that smelling bad is the biggest relationship dealmaker.【解题导语】本文通过介绍研究人员的研究结果说明：从健康角度看，一个人一周只需要洗一到两次澡就够了。

阅读强化训练(十六)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解Don Quixote，the classic by Spanish Renaissance writer Cervantes，has inspired literary movements from the 18thcentury picaresque novels to the most special works of the 21stcentury postmodernism and has pr ovided the power for critical works by everyone from Thackeray to Ortegay Gasset.Shakespeare paid Cervantes(his contemporary) the rare compliment of using Quixote as source material for one of his later plays，Cardenio.The concept of the novel is simple：Alonso Quijano，a landowner from La Mancha，is attracted by the books about knights(骑士)．Driven mad by the special plots，characters and philosophy in these 17thcentury novels，Quijano decides to bring dignity back to the lost profession of knight under the name Don Quixote.He carries a sword，a suit of armor(盔甲) and a horse，and sets out into Spain.The first few scenes involve Quixote alone against the world，meeting various people，but before a hundred pages Cervantes introduced Sancho Panza，Quixote’s talkative squire(侍从)．In the endless discussions，Quixote’s crazy conception of the world is brought crashing to earth by Sanc ho’s practical ideas.The reader faces，at the same moment，an ideal view of the world and the cruel facts of the actual world.Quixote’s insistenc e on his own reality in the face of arguments to the contrary makes him an interesting character because we know that Quixote is just wrong.Yet，despite all of the pain he suffers in pursuit of that wrong，he continues to believe that he’s right.So we read on page after page，waiting to see how much more the man who considers himself a knight is able to take before he gives in.Just as Quixote builds his castles from criminal campfires，we build our understanding of Cervantes’ Spain，which was so cruelly real and so dreamlike.We，like Don Quixote，are driven to hallucinate(产生幻觉) by what might be，in the end，just a very good story.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了西班牙文艺复兴代表作家塞万提斯的著作《堂吉诃德》。

阅读强化训练(一）（建议用时：15分钟）错误!阅读理解Prince Henry was born on June 28th in Greenwich。

Unlikehis sickly older brother Arthur，Henry was a healthy andathletic boy。

Henry was being raised to enter the church。

He received an excellent education and learned how to speak Latin，French,Spanish，and Greek。

When Henry was ten years old,his life was greatly changed。

His older brother Arthur died and Henry was named the crown prince(皇储）．He would be the next king of England。

姓名，年级：时间：阅读强化训练（八）（建议用时：25分钟)错误!阅读理解Just days before the cyberattack(网络攻击) known as WannaCry struck computers in at least 150 countries in May， 2017， the telecommunications company NTT issued a report on digital threats. One of its conclusions: “In today's environment， everyone has an important role to play in cybersecurity."The advice was timely。

The attack that spread from China to Spain was slowed down by a British man who lives with his parents and who is self。

taught in cybersecurity. His quick work in buying a web domain name(域名） connected to the digital worm(蠕虫病毒） ended up being a temporary kill switch。

This gave time for companies，governments, and others to protect their systems。

His ＄10 purchase saved billions。

More to the point， his action shows that the users of digital tools connected to the Internet must always be prepared for attacks, even if only to inform experts. The attacks like WannaCry, which often come through email， are responsible for as much as 73 percent of malware(恶意软件)．The NTT report says cybersecurity requires much more than a technological fix。

阅读强化训练(二)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解In the United States there are more than half a millioncriminals serving time in prisons. Most prisoners are malehigh school dropouts(退学者) between the age of 18 and 29.Even more shocking is the fact that the number and rate ofimprisonment has more than doubled over the past twenty years, and the recidivism(累犯) is more than 60 percent.Although the aim of the criminal justice system is to get them back into society, the system itself doesn’t support such a goal. Although most prisons are located within the community, prisons are usually isolated(隔离的) and terribly overcrowded. Even in the betterequipped prisons, only onethird of the prisoners have job training opportunities or work release(监外就业) choices.If prisons are to achieve the goal of getting prisoners back into society, then the prisons themselves will have to change. First, they will have to be smaller, housing no more than five hundred prisoners. It has been shown that crowding does not help improve(改进) behaviors. Second, they will have to be built in or near population centers with what prisoners need. This must include social services. Finally, prison programs must be reorganized to provide work release and job training for all prisoners, giving them skills that carry over into their lives after release. In addition to work release, successful models for such teamwork between the criminal justice system and the community already exist in several hundred halfway houses throughout the country where prisoners complete their sentences while beginning to rebuild their lives as productive members of society. Studies suggest that imprisonment as it is currently operated must be viewed as punishment rather than reform. Until we approach the problem in terms of changing behaviors, prisoners who are set free will probably return to a life of crime.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。

阅读强化训练(十)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解There are many different types of poems.Many people have heard about haiku. In fact, most of us are taught at one point or another—usually in elementary school or high school—to write one of our very own. Even if you did that, do you remember what this type of poem actually is? Haiku is a form of poetry which is composed of three nonrhyming lines. They often express feelings and thoughts about nature; however, you could write a poem about any subject you like in this form.One of the poetic favorites is pastoral (田园的)poetry because it means wonderful senses of peace and harmony (和谐)．Examples of this form include Keats’s OdeonaGrecianUrn, which is also a type of ode. Like the haiku，nature is often at the center of this type of poem as well. In general, pastoral poetry will focus on describing a rural place，but the terms(措辞)will be peaceful. You will feel at ease after reading this type of poem. Many pastoral poems are written about shepherds.Are you familiar wi th the term “ballad〞？ Probably you are, because people sometimes refer to songs—particularly romantic ones—as ballads. In fact, ballad poems are frequently sung—or at least they are intended to be sung, and they are often about love. Often, these ballads will tell stories and they tend to be of a mystical nature.A limerick is a poem that is often silly or funny, written in five lines with an AABBA rhyme scheme. Often, a limerick tells a short, humorous story. This type of poem has been popular for hundreds of years, particularly in the English language. When limericks first became popular，they often expressed ideas that were dirty, but today limericks express all sorts of ideas.Because poems can express a wide variety of emotions, there are sad forms of poetry as well as happy ones. One of these sad forms is known as an elegy(挽歌)．..【解题导语】本文向我们介绍了一些不同种类的诗歌。

高中英语学习材料***鼎尚图文理制作***Test 1AHomework is an important part of education.However，what is it about homework？What makes it important?First，homework helps students learn.Homework produces higher learning ability by asking the student to read the same text many times.Most of the time，homework will ask students to read other books.So children have to read and understand it by themselves.Sometimes，parents must help children with this type of learning.Children hope to use what they have read to solve questions and problems in the homework.Good use of homework makes children know that learning can happen with or without a teacher.As homework is finished，students learn to work out their own problems.Most students need a little help now and then，but doing homework is a way that children can learn to take care of themselves.If the student can do his or her own work，it is likely that the ability he gets will be good for their future life.Most homework gives room for additional(额外的) learning.Short answers，long answers and papers provide a way for students to learn things that interest them.Science can give the student a chance to go deeper into a field and have a better understanding.These things are almost impossible within the classroom education.If the project is done by a group，the students will also learn cooperation(合作).Good study skills students get from homework and test preparation can be used easily in most work places.Title：Importance of 1.________Benefits Ways2.______________________ Make students

reason，but it is possible that things like snacking in front of the TV or seeing ads for junk food influence young people’s diets.The study included nearly 1,400 high school students.It showed that those who watched TV for five hours or more every day had less healthy diets than other students five years later.As a group，they ate fewer fruits and vegetables，but ate more fast food，snack products and fried foods.“We’re not able to tell why，” lead researcher Dr.Daheia J.Barr-Anderson said.“But we have some speculation(推测).”People who spend a lot of time in front of the TV，especially teenagers，may have more snacks.It may influence their long-term diet quality.It’s also possible that TV ads for fast food，sweets and snacks make teenagers eat more of those time might also replace exercise time for some kids.The researchers found a clear relationship between TV time during high school and diet quality of the young.The heaviest TV viewers ate the most junk food five years later，and those who’d watched fewer than two hours every day had the most fruits and vegetables.According to Barr-Anderson，the findings support experts’ advice that children shouldwatch no more than two hours of television every day.“Parents should cut the TV time.”Barr-Anderson said.She advised that parents set a good example by eating right，being physically active and controlling their own TV time.1.Is it clear that television is the reason for young people’s poor diet？(No more than 3words)_______________________________________________________________________2.What kind of TV ads will

of MOOCs，their key features are open access：they are currently free to participants，no entry qualifications are required，they support an unlimited number of participants and as yet，very few include

who do not have formal qualifications.They also allow participants to study at their own pace.The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vast—they could be considered as a huge step forwards in widening participation.They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses，they may attract some participants to register for formal fee-paying programmes at the same or other universities and are likely to promote new ways of on-line education.However，it is still very early days for MOOCs.The quality of the education provision is highly variable，with many courses offering only recordings of lectures，and delivery isparticularly difficult in some special fields that require practical classes，research projects or extensive library access.Besides，wider engagement with participants requires very considerable resource.Even limited feedback or examination becomes a major task if there are several thousand students in the class.Considering the challenges，some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate(蒸发).But they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education，are a means of raising awareness of

阅读强化训练(十一)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解Tom is seven. He’s staring curiously up at a big drone(无人机)flying above his head in the London Science Museum.The black droneTom is so amazed by looks like a big toy that many children want tohave.But this drone is not a toy.It was once a military(军用的) drone，and it’s supposed to save our rainforests.Lauren Fletcher is a former NASA engineer.The idea to create a drone that would deal with forests’being destroyed around the world came to him from a science fiction uren’s team，called BioCarbon Engineering，is repurposing these drones to have them plant trees.In comparison to a technique—sowing(播种) seeds by air—where an uptake rate(摄入率) is around 8%，a recent test conducted by BioCarbon Engineering resulted in a 75% uptake rate.The project team says their use of drones could reduce the costs of traditional methods by up to 85%.But there are still some concerns.Alan Watson Featherstone，founder and executive director of Trees for Life，a charity，told the museum that he is not sure whether such a natural process as tree planting can be achieved by impersonal drones.He believes that human interaction is necessary to guarantee a proper planting process.Another concern is more familiar to new technologies—some worry the drones might take jobs away from humans.But Fedorenko，Lauren’s colleague，adds that they are currently targeting planting in remote areas or areas such as those affected by fires or chemical spills.The project has begun to attract some attention.However，the use of drones for planting still has not been tested on a large scale(规模) and in the wild.And，further fundraising is still an issue.So far they have raised around DC＝160，000 as a winning project from various competitions，but this is not enough for largescale planting.The company is looking to raise more funds.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

阅读强化训练(十三)(建议用时：15分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解The vast majority of us spend our entire lives pulleddown by gravity.Then there are astronauts.This small population of space travelers has givenresearchers a rare look at what happens to the human bodywhen it’s able to spend large amounts of time outside thedownward pull of the Earth.This week，a study on one of the largest groups of astronauts yet—34 participants—was published in The New England Journal of Medicine.In the new study，a team of international radiologists(放射科医生)supported by NASA looked at MRIs of the brains of astronauts before and after their trips to space.The scientists found that upon returning to Earth，many of the astronauts’brains had become repositioned inside their skulls，floating higher than before.In addition，the space between certain brain areas appeared to have shrunk(缩小)．The changes were more common in astronauts who took longer trips into space.The team characterized astronaut trips as short(an average of less than 14 days)or long(an average of about 165 days)．Radiologists who didn’t know each astronaut’s duration(持续时间)in space compared MRIs from before and after their trips.Of the 34 total astronauts involved in the study，18 took long trips to space —spending most of that time on the International Space Station—and of those，17 returned to Earth with smaller areas between the frontal lobe(脑前额叶) and parietal lobe(顶叶)．The same area of the brain also shrank for three of the 16 astronauts who took shorter trips with the US Space Shuttle Program.The researchers also found that 12 of the ISS astronauts and six of the spaceshuttle astronauts returned home with their brains sitting slightly higher in their skulls than before.It’s not clear what，if anything，these brain changes mean for the health of space travelers.In general，it appears the human body tolerates space travel fairly well：the time astronauts have spent in zerogravity environments so far doesn’t seem to have had any strong or longlasting effects.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

阅读强化训练(五)(建议用时：15分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解As consumers lose interest in traditional advertising，guerrilla marketing(游击营销)，which relies on eyecatching methods，is becoming fashionable.But much of it misses the mark.Even by New York standards，things have been strange on the streets lately.Some 8，000 wallets were dropped onto Manh attan’s pavements last winter，but not by careless shoppers.Instead of cash inside，curious New Yorkers found a card and the address of a charity website，at which they could donate money.More recently an Internet search engine sent 35 actors dressed as British butlers(管家) to the U．S．Open tennis tournament to guide visitors to their seats and answer tennis questions.Some wellknown firms are acting strangely，too.This summer，a chain restaurant helped to support Russia’s space agency by putting a tenmeterhigh，$1.25 million ad on a rocket sent into space.In America，marketers have even approached a soft drinks company with the idea of projecting its logo(标识) onto the moon.Marketing tricks are hardly new，but they are becoming more frequent，more extreme，and more widespread—earning a name all of their own：guerrilla marketing.One advantage of guerrilla marketing，claim its fans，is that it is cheaper than typical TV or print advertising.This has particular appeal to Internet firms as they run out of cash，having poured too much money into traditional advertising.A healthadvice site cut its monthly marketing budget by 95%，to $50，000，by reducing paid TV advertising.Instead，it relies on excitement created by marketing tricks，such as giving away free products.Of course，guerrilla marketing’s appeal is often shallow.A quick Internet search throws out 12，000 references to the term，but most of the websites are surprisingly ordinary.Many tricks are neither memorable nor clever enough to raise brand awareness and boost sales.While there is no doubt that extreme marketing can create noise，raising wrong expectations lays advertisers open to criticism，especially if the products they push end up being nothing special.Good marketing simply helps wordofmouth to spread.If advertisers are smart，guerrilla marketing could develop into something that is as focused as it is fun.If not，it will do little but add to the noise.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

Ⅱ完形填空When you think about all the technological revolutions around us，it makes you wonder if things are really better.In some cases，the 1 are good；in others，not so much.For instance，everything I buy on Amazon involves 2 a few buttons on my phone and waiting for items to 3 ．If there is a problem, I 4 the problem by email to Amazon and an email comes back with 5 on shipping the item back to the seller.It is my understanding if you have Alexa，an intelligent personal assistant，you can 6 your stuff through her and give her other 7 tasks such as turning off the lights or turning on the music.You have to believe if Alexa can understand your specific commands she can 8 understand everything you are saying.This sometimes annoyed me.Once，I went to the kitchen and found I was out of milk.“Alexa，would you 9 milk on the list？”“I’m wondering if skim milk(脱脂牛奶) would be a 10 choice because your weight seems to be increasing rapidly.”“I don’t need this sort of thing.”“ 11 you may.”An argument happened and a silence 12 ．I unplugged(拔掉插头) her later.After that，I called Amazon and 13 a very pleasant girl on the phone.She laughed when I told her I was tired of Alexa and I wanted to change her 14 ．The girl said once the artificial intelligence advances to a certain stage，it would be very 15 to change the operating data.To solve my problem，she suggested 16 Alexa with a new one.I was 17 the new one would be another “Jeannie”，a film character，whose kindness ends up bringing much 18 ．I asked if the new one will serve me well.She ensured that it would， 19 I needed to pay extra $50 per month.I thanked her for her perfect 20 and ended the conversation by saying，“I’m sorry，but what’s your name？”“Jeannie.”【解题导语】高科技发展是好事但并非完全是好事，有时候也会给人带来不必要的麻烦。
