阅读理解Society tells us we should socialize to the fullest, and that those who are surrounded by people are the most successful and the happiest. These days, we’re almost always connected, whether in person or through our phone screens and online social networks. But there’s something to be said for solitude (独处) Being alone “ doesn’t necessarily mean ” being lonely”. In fact, spending time by yourself is an essential element of self-care.Around the globe, different cultures have wide-ranging perspectives on what it means to spend time alone. If you live or have spent time in the United States, you’re probably aware that Americans tend to reject solitude. For many younger people, weekends are packed with social activities, ranging from brunch with friends to dinner parties to game nights to drinking at bars and everything in between.The United States isn’t the only place where you’ll find a heavy emphasis on social time. Across the Atlantic, the United Kingdom is known for being an extremely extroverted (外向型的) country. A survey of Brits found that more than half had never done and would be unwilling to do activities like going to theme parks or seeing live music alone. Most Brits spend almost twice as much of their leisure time socializing with others a as they do being alone.The home can be a place of rest, relaxation and recharge-that is, if you live by yourself or have the space to be alone in your home. The country in which people are least likely to live alone is India, at about 4 percent of the population. China is also quite fond of multiple-person households, with only about 10 percent of people living by themselves. In more collectivist cultures like these, many aspects of life revolve(围绕) around community. Thus, spending time alone isn’t as ingrained (根深蒂固的) as a social convention in places like these, and the good of the group takes priority over the needs of one person.1．What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．People can benefit more from solitude.B．People tend to socialize more nowadays. C．Bring alone generally equals being lonely.D．Being alone enables people to be carefree. 2．Which of the following best describes young Americans?A．Imaginative and wild.B．Sensitive and energeticC．Outgoing and sociable.D．Optimistic and dutiful.3．How does the author prove his point?A．By making a summary.B．By drawing comparisons.C．By explaining a concept.D．By providing examples.4．Why are most Chinese people more likely to live together?A．Because they share a specific culture.B．Because they lack some local customs. C．Because they possess enough home Space.D．Because they give priority to their own needs.Heat, cold and touch are crucial for experiencing the world around us and for our own survival. But how our bodies actually do it had been one of the great mysteries (神秘) of biology. Scientists who discovered how our bodies feel the warmth of the sun or the hug of a loved one have won the Nobel Prize.David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian, from the US, share the 2021 prize in Medicine or Physiology for their work on sensing touch and temperature. They explored how our bodies convert physical sensations into electrical messages in the nervous system. Their findings could lead to new ways of treating pain.Thomas Perlman, from the Nobel Prize Committee, said: “It was a very important and profound discovery.” Prof David Julius’s breakthrough, at the University of Calfornia, San Francisco, came from investigating the burning pain we feel from eating a hot chilli pepper (辣椒) . He experimented with the source of a chilli’s heat and discovered the specific type of receptor (感觉器官) that responded to it. Further tests showed the receptor was responding to heat and kicked in at “painful“ temperatures. This is what happens, for example，if you you’re your hand on a cup of coffee.This led to a senses of other temperature sensors being discovered. Prof Julius and Prof Ardem Palapoutian found one that could detect cold. Meanwhile, Prof Patapoutian, working at the Scrips Research institute, was also analyzing cells in a dish. Those experiments led to the discovery of a different type of receptor that a was activated (激活)in response to mechanical force or touch. When you walk along a beach and feel the sand under your feet-it is these receptors that are sending signals to the brain.The first heat sensor is also involved’ in lasting pain and how our body regulates its core temperature. The touch receptor has multiple roles, from urinating to blood pressure. The Prize Committee said their work had “allowed us to understand how heat, cold and mechanical forcecan initiate the nerve impulses (刺激) that allow us to perceive and adapt to the world around us. 5．What made David and Ardem win the Nobel Prize?A．Mysterious experiences B．Biological discoveries.C．Exploration of sun heat.D．Survival in high temperature.6．What does the underlined word “convert” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Translate.B．Persuade.C．Change.D．Lead.7．Which contributed to the discovery of different temperature sensors?A．Burning hands on a coffee cup.B．The chilli pepper experiment.C．Raising painful temperatures.D．The analysis of cells in a dish.8．What could the discovery be applied to?A．Testing blood pressure.B．Promoting beach tourism.C．Perceiving coffee color.D．Treating some diseases.When my father, who grew up on Tyneside, moved to the country in the 70s, he rapidly began accepting invitations to blood sports. He enjoyed the company, the sport and the hours spent out in the wild.From about the age of eight, I was invited to accompany him on these weekend excursions, much like a child being taken to their first football matches. I was fed up with the early starts and standing around in freezing conditions, waiting for birds to be driven into the sky, to their deaths, over a line of booming guns. But I wanted to please my dad.So years later-aged 27, I accepted an invitation to go deer hunting in Scotland with my father.The hunting party assembled one Friday in September. The driver was also our ghillie, a tough figure whose job it was to identify elderly or weak deer that were selected for hunting and guide us to them through wind, fog and rain.“Why are you doing this?” I kept asking myself. “What would have been wrong with a walk? Or a guided wildlife tour?”And then, suddenly, the ghillie almost pushed me to the ground. He pointed at a cloud of fog about a hundred yards ahead. I was baffled, until the cloud lifted like a curtain to reveal-directly in front of us one of the most magnificent living creatures I have ever seen.“Now!” the ghillie hissed in my ear. “Now’s your chance. The deer! Remember. You want tokill it, not wound it.”I adjusted my position, focused down the scope once more and placed my finger on the trigger (扳机). And, of course, I didn’t fire. Another curtain of mist came; when it lifted, seconds later, the stag had disappeared.But I wasn’t disappointed. I was elated. I had come — via a telescopic sight — face to face with an old but most beautiful, iconic and noble beasts of Britain, roaming free in an empty and deserted land of his kingdom.It was moment of truth and lasting inspiration. I could never have killed that deer-not in any context, for any reason But I would, a decade Inter, write a story about him Not just one book, but four, about little boy and the stag that persuades him to help save the world’s last remaining animals The encounter with that magnificent stag changed my life And guess what-those stories did please my dad.9．What is the writer’s inner feeling of blood sports?A．They involve various risks.B．They will lose popularity.C．They are simple but pleasing.D．They are unpleasant to deal with. 10．What does the underlined word “baffled” in paragraph 5 mean?A．Disappointed.B．Confused.C．Amazed.D．Reliable. 11．Why didn’t the writer take the shot?A．He was struck by the elderly deer.B．His sight was blocked by the mist.C．The guide found the old deer was injured.D．The deer ran away before he positioned himself.12．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．A miracle adventure B．An unforgettable momentC．Wildlife tours: a way of protection D．Blood sports: an inspiration for stories Scholars have found music and language seem closely linked But how? Some similarities are obvious. Both can express emotion. And both are highly social. AI a structural level the parallel are striking too. With a limited set of notes or words, and a limited set of rules, a limitless variety of novel melodies or sentences can be created Animal communication, by contrast, is only able to convey a limited number of thoughts.Aniruddh Patel of Tufts University has argued that music and language, rather than being essentially the same, rely on the same bit of the brain. In an experiment he presented his subjects with a sentence that contained a grammatical trick ("The scientist confirmed the hypothesis was being studied in his lab"), revealing one word at a time. The subjects were to press a button for each word at their own pace. Many pushed at the unexpected “was. "The scientist confirmed the hypothesis" seemed a complete sentence.They also heard music as they performed this exercise. Some were treated to a new chord (和弦) in a pleasing progression with every word that was revealed. Others herd an annoying chord at the moment they reached the trick word "was". Both groups slowed down but those given the discordant(不和谐的) notes did so much more.Another striking contrast lies in the range of human talent for each ability. Nearly all children produce complex sentences by the age of three and become fluent speakers just a few years after that. By contrast, only a minority of adults are talented musicians; even fewer are skilled composers of new works.Victor Wooten, a music teacher, points out, children learn to talk by being constantly surrounded by fluent older speakers who are practicing with them almost from birth. Their awkward efforts are encouraged. On the other. hand, students of music often keep company with other beginners, and are stopped when having a mistake.It is not that simple, thinks Jay Keyser, a professor of linguistics. For him, music is not like spoken prose, which almost everyone can learn without any difficulties, but instead resembles a specific form of language: poetry, whose rhythm is hard to find.13．What is the similarity between music and language at the structural level?A．Both have complicated structures.B．Both have strict grammatical rules.C．Both can form unlimited structures.D．Both can express limited meanings.14．What can we learn about Aniruddh Patel's experiment?A．Different music varies greatly in the impact on people's life.B．Appreciation of music helped them understand the sentence.C．Understanding of the structure was not affected by the music.D．The discordant music made the sentence structure more difficult.15．What leads to the difference according to Victor Wooten?A．The influence cast by those around them.B．The age when they start to acquire the abilities.C．The way their mistakes in learning are handled.D．The expectations they get from those around them.16．What does Jay Keyser want to say in the last paragraph?A．It is difficult to compose music.B．Language can hardly make life fun.C．Music is not as easy to learn.D．Music comes from spoken prose.Modern zoos aim to promote animal conservation, educate people, and support further wildlife research. Staff are devoted to providing species specific housing and appropriate diets to ensure that the animals’ lives are as natural as possible within captivity (圈养).In fact, most zoo animals have been born and bred in captivity. They have never experienced “the wild”, which many people assume is a wonderful and safe place, despite destruction of natural habits for palm oil threats from climate change or the increase in poaching.There are two ways capturing animals helps conserve them. Zoo conservation work can be in-situ (在原处)where money: expertise and sometimes staff are provided to protect animals and their habitats in the wild. Large, charming animals such as pandas, tigers or elephants draw the crowds. These flagship species help to raise the image and funds for in-situ conservation efforts for the not so well known species“Ex-situ” conservation, meanwhile, takes place outside of the animals’ natural habitats, usually back at the zoo and often involving international captive breeding programs. These studbooks(良种登记册) can outline suitable genetic matches for breeding, to keep a sustainable captive population of a certain species and ensure genetic variation.In the UK a least, zoos must have a written education strategy and an active education programme.If you have been to an accredited (官方认可的) zoo recently you will have noticed they use games and technology to go way beyond these basic requirements.Research within zoos often looks at animal behaviour or welfare helping to ensure theanimals are well housed and fed. Other research investigates the impact humans have on the zoo animals from the visitor effect to the relationships which can be formed between the animals and their keepers. Research also focuses on biological functioning of animals. Much of this is work that cannot be conducted in the wild if the animals live in remote or inhospitable areas.Overall, zoos provide opportunities to observe and engage with exotic (外国的) animals, many of which may be threatened with extinction in the wild. Seeing them up close can cause a passion for biology, conservation and the environment.17．What do people think of “the wild”?A．It poses a danger to humans.B．It is perfect for large animalsC．It is an ideal habitat for animals.D．It guarantees the safety of animals.18．What highlights “ex-situ” conservation?A．Saving the conservation cost.B．Attracting more visitors to zoos.C．Keeping a species’ population stable.D．Changing the genes of a certain species.19．What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?A．How zoo keepers get along with animals.B．How zoos can contribute to research work.C．What researchers are expected to do in zoos.D．Why it is difficult to carry out research in the wild.20．What is the author’s purpose in wring the text?A．To show zoos ways to raise animals.B．To stress modern zoos research value.C．To defend zoos role in protecting animals.D．To advise zoos to release animals into the wild.My name is Destiny, working at a Psychological Counselling Center. In my teens, there was nothing special about me. My older sister, Antia, is beautiful. My younger brother, Tye, is a talent at the age 13. He completely skipped the sixth grade. How do I compete with that?My mom and I were home alone one day. I went into the room where she was watching television and I blurted out (脱口而出), “Mom, is there anything special about me?”She thought about it for a moment and then turned down TV. She took a deep breath, took my hand and exhaled (呼气).“You have the ability to say just the right thing at just the right time.”“Really? Is that it, words?” I tried to keep my voice steady (稳定的) but I could hear the anger even as I fought to control it.“It’s more than words, Destiny,” my mom said. I know my mother meant well but I felt worse than ever. I burst into tears.The next day is when my whole life changed. I went to school earlier than before and noticed Darwin sitting across the room which was strange because no one ever noticed Darwin. Suddenly, Darwin stood up and threw away all his books, shouting loudly. I could hear screaming and crying but the sounds seemed distant as I focused my full attention on Darwin six feet in front of me. I felt the words swell up in me. “Darwin,” I heard myself say with a calm, steady voice. “I have family and friends with so much talent and potential and I have none. There is nothing special about me.” From the corner of my eye, I could see others staring at me in silence. I continued talking. “You are so smart. You can answer questions that the teacher hasn’t even asked yet. Do you know that everyone in this class is envious (嫉妒的) of you?” Hearing my words, he calmed down and gave me a big hug.Then the teacher came. Learning about what happened, the teacher smiled, “That was a great job you did, young lady. Superman could not have done a better job than you did here today.” I couldn’t believe that she compared me to Super man. I work at Psychological Counselling Center now. There is a cork board over my desk filed with thank-you cards and letters from people who say they owe their lives, careers, or their families to my words. But tome, they are more than words. They are my super power!21．Why does the author mention her sister and brother?A．She is envious of them.B．She feels really proud of them.C．She wants to show family love.D．She considers competing with them. 22．What is the author’s reaction to her mother’s words in Paragraph 6?A．She said more words to her mother.B．She could hardly believe her mother.C．She understood her mother’s white lie.D．She had doubt about her mother’s love.23．What do we know about Darwin from the text?A．He quarreled with his classmates.B．He lacked great talent and potential.C．He failed again in the examination.D．He suddenly lost control for some reason. 24．Which is a suitable title for the text?A．A Brave Superman B．The Power of WordsC．A Strange Classmate D．The Future of a CareerWhen we moved into our home in Maui, Hawaii, 16 years ago, one good thing about this house was the huge avocado tree growing in the backyard.This tree gave the most delicious avocados I have ever tasted. I lived on these avocados when nursing my first child. Fresh avocado was the very first food for my kids. This tree was so huge that it cast a massive shadow over our backyard. It was truly our magical tree.Until one day, someone from the Health Department came to tell us that our avocado tree was too large and needed trimming. In New York, you get in trouble if you don’t clear the snow off your sidewalk. Here, it’s when your trees are too high. So along came the trimmer, leaving just the trunk and a few branches. I was sad. The kids were all sad. Some friends who knew it would say, “It’s going to grow back. Your next avocados will be crazy!” Yeah, whatever. The tree is gone, so stop doing that. It just didn’t work.But a few days later, I noticed some unusual butterflies flying around the yard. And then, the sun came in the kitchen, creating this pleasant warmth once blocked by the huge tree. After about a month, I started to notice some tiny green shoots coming out of the cut branches, which eventually turned into full-on bright green leaves.I started to feel like all was going to be fine, kind of like life. Little do we know what seems really difficult is actually life’s way of making us stronger. It’s life’s way of bringing in the butterflies, the sunshine, and the delightful flowers. We all know that saying, “It will be OK in the end. If it’s not, it’s not the end.”25．What is mainly conveyed in paragraph 2 about the avocado tree?A．Her kids’ love for it.B．Its fruit’s good taste.C．Her expectation of it.D．Its benefits for her family.26．Why did the author’s friends say the words in paragraph 3?A．To laugh at her.B．To cheer her up.C．To show their regret.D．To express their excitement.27．What happened to the avocado tree in the end?A．It had no branches.B．It blocked the sunshine.C．It was full of life again.D．It bore more avocados.28．What message does the author seem to convey in the text?A．You harvest what you sow.B．Luck and Misfortune comes in turn. C．Success won’t come unless you go to it.D．The important thing in life is to have a dream.Sara Braden doesn’t have time to lose things. She’s a working mom with a lot more hobbies than her friends, and when she misplaces her keys or leaves her purse at a restaurant, she becomes annoyed and impatient. “It impacts me greatly,” says Braden, 35, a Washington officer.According to a recent study led by Daniel Arely, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, Braden has ADHD, a type of attention disorder, which, she says, makes her “likely to put things in certain places and not remember where I put them.”Her anxiety is familiar to anyone whose phone is missing a dozen times a day. Such kind of mistakes might result in a constant fear: Is something wrong with me? Probably not. “It’s common and certainly annoying,” says Professor Arely. “Most of the time, losing things is a breakdown of attention and memory. We’re thinking about something else. We have other concerns occupying our attention, and then we never really add the information to memory about where we’ve put the object.”The study shows that, sometimes, people with ADHD report that losing things affects their work productivity or relationships. For example, if they can’t find their keys all the time and are late for a dinner party, they could anger their friends. In that case, it’s worth being evaluated by a doctor. Nevertheless, not all cases deserve special attention. Actually, people who have had ADHD since they were teens have nothing much to worry about. For those with ADHD, what really matters is changes from past performance.When we’re operating on autopilot and not truly focused on our surroundings, we may still lose things even with the strongest intention not to do so, Professor Arely says. But for the mostpart, he thinks people can overcome the tendency to lose things. Sara Braden has learned to adapt, in part by writing down where she has stored items. She also coaches herself not to panic when an item gets lost.29．How does the author introduce the topic?A．By offering an example.B．By quoting a remark.C．By making a comparison.D．By giving an explanation.30．What is the possible reason for people’s losing things?A．Their constant fear.B．Their common weakness.C．Their absent-mindedness.D．Their emotional breakdown.31．What should people with ADHD pay special attention to?A．Improved efficiency at work.B．Occasional delay in meeting friends. C．Losing things repeatedly since teens.D．Behavioural changes from the past. 32．What is Professor Arely’s attitude to overcoming forgetfulness?A．Positive.B．Sceptical.C．Tolerant.D．Conservative.A satellite is about to demonstrate a new way of capturing space junk with magnets for the first time. With the frequency of space launches dramatically increasing in recent years, the potential for a disastrous collision above Earth is continually growing. Now, Japanese orbital clean-up company Astroscale is testing a potential solution.The firm’s End-of-Life Services by Astroscale demonstration mission is scheduled to lift off on 20 March aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. It consists of two spacecraft: a smaller “client” satellite and a larger “servicer” satellite, or “chaser”. The smaller satellite is equipped with a magnetic (磁力的) plate which allows the chaser to dock with it.The two stacked spacecraft will perform three tests once in orbit, each of which will involve the servicer satellite releasing and then recapturing the client satellite. The first test will be the simplest, with the client satellite drifting a short distance away and then being recaptured. In the second test, the servicer satellite will set the client satellite tumbling before catching up with it and matching its motion to grab it.Finally, if those two tests go well, the chaser will live up to its name by letting the client satellite float a few hundred metres away before finding it and attaching to it. All of these tests will be performed autonomously, with little to no human input once they are set in motion.“These kinds of demonstrations have never been done before in space - they are very different to, say, an astronaut controlling a robotic arm on the International Space Station,” says Jason Forshaw at Astroscale UK. “This is more of an autonomous mission.” At the end of the tests, both spacecraft will burn up in Earth’s atmosphere.If companies wanted to use this capability, they would have to attach a magnetic plate to their satellites so they could be captured later. Because of the growing space garbage problem, many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites once they run out of fuel or fail, so this could be a fairly simple likely plan, Forshaw says. Right now, each chaser can only nab one satellite, but Astroscale is working on a version that could drag three or four out of orbit at once.33．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “dock with” in Paragraph 2? A．deal with B．keep up with C．join together D．crash34．Why many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites? A．Because of the growing space waste problem.B．Because the frequency of space launches are dramatically increasing.C．Because they can earn large profits from it.D．Because Astroscale has found a new method of capturing the space garbage.35．What will Astroscale do to solve the space junk problem?A．An astronaut controls a robotic arm on the International Space to capture the “client” satellite B．Through a magnetic plate remotely controlled by humans on the ground to catch the “client” satelliteC．Finding the “client” satellite and attaching to it with a magnetic plate automatically D．Tumbling to match the motion of “client” satellite the drag three or four satellites out of its orbit into atmosphere.36．What can we infer from the passage?A．people will burn the space junk up in Earth’s atmosphere in the futureB．Japan and Russia will conduct space debris cleanup experiment togetherC．These kinds of demonstrations have never been done before.D．the demonstration mission will be divided into three phasesA blood test that accurately predicts a patient’s likelihood of dying from heart disease or astroke (中风) has been developed.Researchers took samples of blood from 22,949 people and analyzed the levels of about5,000 proteins within it. They then used machine learning to detect whether there was a link between the proteins that circulate in a person’s bloodstream and their risk of heart disease. The study identified a particular “protein signature” that accurately predicts the chance of suffering a heart attack, stroke or heart failure over a four-year period.Currently, doctors assess the likelihood of patients suffering heart problems by looking at factors including weight, blood pressure, age and cholesterol (胆固醇) levels. However, blood protein analysis can provide more accurate clues to the state of a person’s health. The technology was found to be twice as accurate as existing tools at measuring a patient’s heart risk. The blood test could also provide a faster way of detecting whether patients’ existing medication (药物治疗) is working and helping to reduce their risk. Existing risk assessments struggle to do this.The blood test was developed by SomaLogic, based in Boulder, Colorado. The company is also working with scientists at Imperial College London to help develop a blood test to detect cancer. Professor Elio Riboli said this could lead to widespread screening for many different types of cancers, which is not possible using existing techniques. His team will work with SomaLogic to analyze 15,000 blood samples from people who had developed cancer, comparing them with 10,000 samples from people who did not. The results will be used to establish whether there are protein markers that could indicate if someone is at risk from the disease.In 2019, a trial began in Leeds to use SomaLogic’s technology to assess people’s risk of diabetes, and also the effectiveness of lifestyle changes in preventing the condition. Dr Michael Messenger, head of the Leeds Centre for Personalized Medicine and Health, said that it could help tailor treatments to individual patients. “Personalized medicine lets us take a deeper look at each person’s individual biology, so we can better understand what the right advice or treatment, at the right time, might be.”37．What can be learned from the second paragraph?A．About 5,000 proteins exist in people’s blood.B．Different methods were adopted in the research.C．Altogether 22,949 people volunteered for the study.D．The “protein signature” in the blood causes heart diseases.。

三、写作意图题(2019·天津，D)Would you BET on the future of this man？He is 53 years old.Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune.A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning，and he has often been in prison.Driven by heaven-knows-what motives，he determines to write a book.The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years.That former prisoner was Cervantes，and the book was Don Quixote(《堂吉诃德》).And the story poses an interesting question：why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days，while others go to seed long before?We’ve all known people who run out of steam before they reach life’s halfway mark.I’m not talking about those who fail to get to the top.We can’t all get there.I’m talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.Most of us，in fact，progressively narrow the variety of our lives.We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it.Nothing surprises us.We lose our sense of wonder.But，if we are willing to learn，the opportunities are everywhere.The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills.We learn to bear with the things we can’t change.We learn to avoid self-pity.We learn that however much we try to please，some people are never going to love us—an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing.With high motivation and enthusiasm，we can keep on learning.Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life.However，we can achieve meaning only if we have madea commitment to something larger than our own little egos(自我)，whether to loved ones，to fellow humans，to work，or to some moral concept.Many of us equate(视……等同于) “commitment”with such “caring”occupations as teaching and nursing.But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment.People who work toward such excellence—whether they are driving a truck，or running a store—make the world better just by being the kind of people they are.They’ve learned life’s most valuable lesson.51.The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that .A.loss of freedom stimulates one’s creativityB.age is not a barrier to achieving one’s goalC.misery inspires a man to fight against his fateD.disability cannot stop a man’s pursuit of success答案B解析推理判断题。

Most of us lead unhealthy lives; we spend far too much sitting down. If in addition we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slow moving.________I am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils. The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports—________—there are such separate activities as cycling, walking, jogging and swimming. What often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics, ________, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation. ________Yoga, as practiced in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. It seems ironical (讽刺性的), though, that as our lives have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity—________—which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.A. be active and practise YogaB. There are some aspects of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid.C. and it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at themD. physical effort on the one hand and relaxation on the otherE. they spent most of the time out of doorsF. you are still only half way to good healthG.

The normal way to begin is to go to a drama ually only students who show promise and talent are accepted，and the course lasts two years.Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company(剧团)，usually as an assistant stage manager This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre and occasionally acting in very small parts It is very hard work indeed，the hours are long and the salary is tiny.Of course，some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and Success without this long and hard training.Connie Pratt，for example，was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory.A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop，as he drove past in his car.He stopped and got out to speak to the girl.He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test，and she thought he was joking Then she got angry and said she would call the police It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious The test was successful.And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day But chances like this happen once in a blue moon1.From the very beginning，the author puts it clearly that acting is a profession ______A sought after by too manyB.too difficult for young peopleC.for slim people onlyD.one can go into without special training2.For someone who feels he must act，it is very likely that _____A.he will become a film star at long lastB he will become a stage managerC he will be well paidD.he will end up without any Success3.The film producer found Connie Pratt one morning when she was ____A.at work in a bicycle factoryB.driving past him in her carC.going to a film studioD.waiting for a bus4.A few weeks after the test.Connie Pratt found herself ______A the most famous actress of the worldB.playing the leading female role in a playC.as famous as the greatest actor of the worldD.no less famous than the leading actor of the day5.The concluding sentence "chances like this happen once ina blue moon" means____________A this is something which happens once in a whileB.this is a highly profitable chanceC.this is something highly possibleD this is a very rare chance江苏高考英语阅读练习题答案1.A2.D3.D4.B5.D江苏高考英语阅读练习题(二)Soldiers and other military people wear uniforms with various other symbols to indicate theirstatus.But in the business world everyone wears more or less similar suits，and you cannot tellat a glance who ranks higher or lower than another.So how do people in the business worldshow their superiority? An attempt to study this was made by two researchers using a seriesof silent films.They had two actors play the parts of an executive(经理)and a visitor，andswitch roles each time.The scene had one man at his desk playing the part of anexecutive，while the other，playing the part of a visitor，knocks at the door，opens it andapproaches the desk to discuss some business matter.The audience watching the films was asked to rate the executive and the visitor in terms ofstatus.A certain set of rules about status began to emerge from the ratings.The visitorshowed the least amount of status when he stopped just inside the door to talk across the roomto the seated man.He was considered to have more status when he walked halfway up to thedesk，and he had the most status when he walked directly up to the desk and stood right infront Of the seated executive.Another thing that affected the status of the visitor in the eyes of the observers was the timebetween knocking and entering.For the seated executive，his status was also affected by thetime between hearing the knock and answering.The quicker the visitor entered the room，themore status he had.Thelonger the executive took to answer，the more status he had.1.The experiment designed by the two researchers aimed at finding out _____A.how business is conducted by all executive and a visitorB how to tell the differences between an executive and a visitorC.how to tell businessmen at a glanceD.how businessmen indicate status2 Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?A.The executive has a higher status than the visitor.itary people wear uniforms but the businessmen do notC，A study revealing a set of rules about the status of businessmen.D It is a good method to use a series of silent film in research.3 Having entered the room，the closer the visitor approaches the executive, ___A.the less it affected his statusB.the lower his statusC.the more it affected his statusD.the higher his status4.The longer the seated man was in answering the knock，_____A.the higher his statusB.the less it affected his statusC.the lower his statusD the more it affected his status5.Which statement is NOT true?A Soldiers wear uniforms with various symbols so that one call tell their status at a glance.B.In the experiment.one actor played the executive while theother played the seated manC.Business people wear similar suits.D The audience watching the film rated the executive and the visitor in terms of status.江苏高考英语阅读练习题答案1.D2.C3.D4.A5.B。

第二节推理判断题一、细节推断题(2019·江苏，C)Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine？Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people’s opinions.However，they have real impacts，as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution，represented by the Internet，has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on ideas.This belief in “post-industrial society” has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业)，with negative consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly，the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital divide” between the rich countries and the poor countries.This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities.The question，however，is whether this is what the developing countries need the most.Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells，extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting upInternet centres in rural villages.I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important，but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.In yet another example，a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”.As a result，in the last twenty years or so，many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress，going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back.Believing in such a world，many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital，labour and goods，with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies，both at the national and the international levels，and for making the right career choices at the individual level.However，our fascination with the latest，and our under-valuation of what has already become common，can，and has，led us in all sorts of wrong directions.61.Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to .A.a lack of confidence in technologyB a slow progress in technologyC.a conflict or public opinionsD.a waste of limited resources答案D解析细节理解题。

At the end of the year,it designs events to help children celebrate Christmas without increasing the amount of waste they create.Hanna Seligmann works for the foundation.VOA joined Seligmann recently during one of her talks. “So let’s figure out what is in our bag of trash.”She shows adults and children how to reduce waste during the holiday gift giving season. “You can sort it as a cardboard item or you can sort it as a plastic item.”Seligmann works with volunteers, “We encourage using things that are already in your house like newspaper, old magazines, using a gift within a gift. You can wrap something in a reusable napkin, wrap something in a scarf, or a shawl（围巾）or even a reusable tote bag（大手提袋）.”Lori Arguelles is the executive director for environmental education at the Alice Ferguson Foundation. “Over time we realized that really just doing trash cleanups was the symptom of the problem, not getting to the root cause. And so it was just a little over a decade ago that we started the initiative（项目）itself.”One activity is called the Trash Timeline Game. It teaches children that the things they throw away do not decompose at the same rate. For example, paper dissolves in about four weeks. An apple core takes two months. A metal can takes years.

But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk”contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep atnight.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to k is also sugar free and additive free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.8.

You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the final threat.I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo tech”student(技校同学). They’re called “motorheads”by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid,”I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honour rolls(光荣榜).But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at ＄800.“Hey, I can fix it,”said Jody. I doubted it , but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.My son ,with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts(零件）from a junkyard, and ability from vo tech classes. The lost was ＄25 instead of ＄80.Since that first repair job, a broken air conditioner, a non functioning washer and an on toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbours and co workers trust their car repairs to him.These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honour roll. But he made mine.12. What used to be the author’s hope for his son?A. To avoid becoming his clone.B. To resemble him in appearance.C. To develop in a different direction.D. To reach the author’s unachieved goals.13. What can we learn about the author’s children?A. His daughter does better in school.B. His daughter has got a master’s degree.C. His son tried hard to finish homework.D. His son couldn’t write his book reports.14. The author let his son repair the car because he believed that .A. his son had the ability to fix itB. it would save him much timeC. it wouldn’t cause him any more lossD. other motorheads would come to help15. What did the author realize in the end?A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.B. It is important for one to make the honour roll.C. Architects play a more important role than builders.D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.试卷五A【文章大意】这是一则广告。

范文：Last summer, I embarked on an unforgettable journey to the ancient city of Xi'an. The trip was filled with excitement and challenges. One of the most memorable experiences was when I got lost in the bustling streets of the city. With no mobile signal, I had to rely on the kindness of strangers to find my way back to the hotel. This incident taught me the importance of communication and adaptability.During the trip, I also encountered language barriers, but I overcame them by using translation apps and learning a few basic phrases in Chinese. These experiences not only enriched my travel but also contributed to my personal growth. I learned to be more independent and resourceful, and I gained a deeper appreciation for different cultures.Traveling has a profound impact on one's life. It broadens one's horizons and fosters a sense of adventure. It is through such experiences that we truly grow and develop as individuals.结束语：江苏高考英语试题涵盖了听力、阅读、语法、写作等多个方面，旨在全面考察学生的英语综合能力。

One reason for the success of fast fashion is social media. A report by the investment research firm Bernstein found that Millennials—people born in the 1980s and 90s—wanted to wear a variety of clothes in the photos they posted on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. As a result, many businesses that offer trendy, low cost clothes are growing.But the situation is changing now. Maxine Bedat, a woman who is in her early 30s, looks in her closet full of clothes, but she has nothing to wear. She says she hates always shopping for what is in style. Instead, she says, she wants to buy fewer clothes that she can wear over and over. Other people want the same thing, she says.So Ms Bedat and a business partner, Soraya Darabi, started a “slow fashion”clothing company called Zady. “Slow fashion”means clothes that last a long time. They are often classic colours and shapes, and are made from natural materials that are biodegradable over time.The terms “fast fashion”and “slow fashion”are related to “fast food”and “slow food”. Fast food is still popular in the US, but many restaurants increasingly offer higher quality, more expensive and relaxed meals.Like slow food, slow fashion also aims to use sources that are good for the environment and workers. Maxine Bedat says people in her generation want to know where their clothes come from and who is making them. To answer Millennials’demand for information about the products they buy, Ms Bedat’s company, Zady, includes details about the history of the brands. It also describes the process in which the clothes are made. Ms Bedat says Zady aims to tell shoppers where their clothes come from, where they go, and how they impact the world.The international business “H&M”is answering Millennials’demands in another way. It has created a recycling program for clothes. Shoppers who bring clothes they no longer want to H&M stores canreceive a discount on new things they buy. An H&M spokesperson says, “We have a clear vision to avoid and minimize waste that goes into landfills.”5. What’s the attitude of some Millennials towards fast fashion now?A. Crazy.B. Tired.C. Supportive.D. Doubtful.6. “Slow food”is mentioned in the text to tell us .A. it is better than fast foodB. it is the healthiest foodC. why slow fashion comes nowD. why people like fast fashion7. What can be learned from the program of H&M in the last paragraph?A. It can help the environment.B. It does good to people’s health.C. It can help change people’s lives most.D. It will take the lead in the latest fashion.8. What is the best title of the text?A. What Is out of Fashion?B. Fast Fashion Is Not FastC. Slow Fashion Is in FashionD.

I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干细胞）in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you—there are no flights from Washington.”So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient—please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.”She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me，re routed(改道) me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job, you’re consciously aware that in that box you’re got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier”in Paragraph 1?A. Provider.B. Delivery man.C. Collector.D. Medical doctor.10.

But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence(力量) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,”said George Vaillant, the psychologist(心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental health scores with their boyhood activity scores. Points were awarded for part time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings(基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competentadults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”12. What do we know about John?A. He enjoyed his career and marriage.B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He received little love from his family.D. He was envied by others in his childhood.13. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as .A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parents’expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men14. Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by .A. recording the boys’effort in schoolB. evaluating the men’s mental healthC. comparing different sets of scoresD. measuring the men’s problem solving ability15. What does the underlined word “sharp”probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. Quick to react.B. Having a thin edge.C. Clear and definite.D.
