组合演练(二)[阅读理解＋七选五]Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·湖南邵阳大联考)Owning a pet makes us healthier and happier，but for many of us，long hours at work，tight budgets and small flats means it’s just not practical.But there’s good news for animal lovers；you can now cozy up with a cup of tea while spending time with furry friends，as the global movement of animal cafes has reached the UK.The international phenomenon originated in Taipei，where the world’s first cat cafe，Cat Flower Garden，opened in 1998.Curious tourists soon discovered the pet paradise and brought the concept over to Japan.The first Japanese cat cafe opened in Osaka in 2005，and now there are said to be nearly 40 in Tokyo alone.Japan has now gone far beyond the original concept，and some of the trendiest(时髦的) places to visit nowadays have owls，rabbits and goats hanging around.Tokyo’s Fukuro no Mise，which means the “Shop of Owls”，has full guest lists for up to two months.Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium was the first of its kind to open up in East London in 2014.The successful cat cafe takes bookings 50 days ahead and usually about 90% of them book out about 5－6 weeks in advance，Though the business has been a success，the owner Lauren Pears worries a little bit about the sudden rise of cat cafes everywhere.“Cat cafes are still in their beginnings here and we’ve seen a very recent cautionary tale springing up in Singapore with the sudden burst of cat cafes in the city.Earlier this year，one of them was closed down after serious animal welfare issues resulted in the deaths of several cats.”She emphasizes that even though the job is fun and rewarding，it also comes with serious responsibility.语篇解读本文主要讲了猫咪咖啡馆的出现，使得很多人可以很轻易地接触宠物，但是，过多的猫咪咖啡馆也带来了很多问题。

湖南华容县2017高考英语暑假阅读理解选练（二）【科普知识型---阅读理解】Doctors sometimes prescribe light therapy to treat a form of depression in people who get too little morning sun. But too much light at other time may actually cause such mood disorders. Long-lasting exposure to light at night brings depression, a new study finds, at least in animals. The new data confirm observations from studies of people who work night shifts, says Richard Stevens of the University of Connecticut Health Centre. Mood disorders join a growing list of problems, including cancer, obesity and diabetes—that can occur when light throws life out of balance by disturbing the biological clock and its timing of daily rhythms.In the new study, Tracy Bedrosian and Randy Nelson of Ohio State University exposed mice to normal light and dark cycles for four weeks. For the next four weeks, half of the mice remained on this schedule, and the rest received continuous dim light throughout their night. Compared with mice exposed to normal nighttime darkness, those getting dim light at night lost their strong preference for sweet drinks，“a sign they no longer get pleasure out of activities they once enjoyed，”Bedrosian says.In a second test, mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water. Those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the water, a sign of “behavioural despair”，10 times as long as the mice that had experienced normal nighttime darkness. All symptoms of depression disappeared within two weeks of the mice returning to a normal light-dark cycle, the researchers report. The scientists also could quash the behavioural symptoms by injecting (注射)the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked with human depression. This finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression.Human studies linking nighttime light and mood disorders are important but can't easily detect molecular underpinnings (分子结构)as animal studies can，says George Brainard of Thomas Jefferson University. The new work, he says, suggests that the change of the biological clock by light at night can be “an extremely powerful force in regulating biology and behaviour”．1．After being exposed to continuous nighttime light，the mice ________．A．changed their preferencesB．escaped from the water more eagerlyC．remained active as beforeD．showed less interest in their favourites2．What does the underlined word “quash” in Para. 4 probably mean?A．Study. B．Predict. C．Ease. D．Cause.3．We can learn from the last paragraph that ________．A．light at night may have practical valueB．the biological clock is beneficial to humansC．human mood disorders cannot be healed easilyD．human studies are more important than animal studies4．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Nighttime light may foster depression.B．A drug has been found to cure mood disorders.C．The study on animals can be applied to humans.D．Human biological clock can be controlled by light.【要点综述】光照疗法可以治疗抑郁症，但是，新的研究表明长期暴露于夜晚的灯光也可带来抑郁症，这项研究至少在动物身上得到了验证。

Summer school is something a kid will never forget. For some, it's a way to advance past their classmates. For most, summer school is a requirement in order to graduate with their classmates.I can remember being forced into taking a summer school course. It was not the school that forced me into this awkward situation; it was my mother.I was a 16-year-old kid in a new school. My school did not offer summer courses so I had to take my course at an alternative school in the city. It was an experience I will never at an alternative school in the city. It was an experience I will never forget. I was not concerned with making friends, I was there to get credit(学分) for a course that I should have received credit for the previous semester. It was my doing that landed me in the situation and it was important that I understood this.The fees were lowest but the experience was amazing. I enjoyed. I didn't miss the day. The course was from Monday to Friday for an entire month. I passed the course with an A. I was thrown into an awkward situation and actually enjoyed it. My friends didn't even know I took the course, most of them were still sleeping by the time my course ended each day.Awkward situations are so important for personal growth. This situation made me feel more independent. I made friends. I finally understood what sacrifice and hard work were all about. While attending college, I remembered how much I enjoyed summer school and I chose to take summer school in my first three years of college. Some kids get pushed too much but some don't get pushed enough. I was never pushed enough.Enable your children to struggle for success. If your child needs summer school you explain to them why it's important. Some parents are surprised by the situation and may want to be more involved in their children's education.

选项中有一项为哪项多余选项。

〔选自平时做过的资料〕Tips for Being a Good Neighbor61. _______________No one likes a noisy neighbor. Do you hold parties that last all night? Do you leave your dog outside to bark all day? Remember that not everyone has the same schedule as you do, so use some common sense. Keep noise to the lowest level.If you’re holding a party that’s likely to be loud, invite everyone within earshot(听力范围)。

It’s much easier to solve any problem with neighbors if you have a friendly relationship with those around you. Furthermore, you may realize that you have things in common and make a lifelong friend.________________Once you know your neighbors, then you’ll also know if something seems out of place in the neighborhood. Are strange people carrying expensive things outof one neighbor’s house? Have several days passed since your elderly neighbor last collected his newspaper? The benefit of keeping an eye out for unusual behavior in the neighborhood is that others will do the same for you.It never hurts to follow the Golden Rule: Do to others what you would like them to do to you. Treat your neighbors with respect. Offer to drive an elderly neighbor to the grocery store. Volunteer to collect mail while a neighbor is on vacation. The more often you lend a helping hand, the more likely that your neighbors will do the same for you when you need a little help.Don’t just limit your neighborly actions to your block or street. Remember that everyone who lives in a community has the ability to help make it a better place. Think about your passion and find a way to do it on a volunteer basis in your town. Volunteer at the local library. Enjoy working with kids. Consider becoming a scout (童子军)leader. Whatever your passion is, there’s sure to bea thing suitable for you to help in the local community.参考答案61-65CDBAE*******************************************结束第二局部：阅读理解〔共两节。

On occasion, a memory came to my mind. My mother had a nice table with a single vase standing on it.

It was such a beautiful table that my mother was proud to have it in her living room.Our family moved around a lot because my father, a Spanish and Hawaiian guitar teacher, needed to find new students as the old learned and left.

She didn’t go out to buy fancy clothes for herself, and what she did buy was for her four children. As children, we cared about al most nothing. We didn’t care about when the next money would come in. and, all through the years there sat a table with a vase on top.I sat back now and then and stared at that table. It was a reminder of what love was shown by my mother, what she suffered over the years, and what she gave to us, so we could have what we needed. And, her only valuable possession was the table with the vase on top.1. What did the author sometimes recall?A. Having to clean the table weekly.B. Putting a vase on the table weekly.C.

local steakhouse.As he developed a love of cooking,which saw him move to Minneapolis to study Japanese and French cuisines,Sherman realized he didn’t know indigenous recipes.“What were my Lakota ancestors eating and storing away?How were they getting oils,salts and fats and things like that?”Sherman remembered asking himself in an interview on PBS NewsHour.“So it took me quite a few years of just researching,but it really became a passion.”These years of researching,talking to elders,and consulting written material helped him produce The Sioux Chefs Indigenous Kitchen,which in2018won Sherman the James Beard Award for Best American Cookbook.After publishing the book,Sherman opened his restaurant,Owamni,in Minneapolis and created the North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems(NATIFS).It is a professional indigenous kitchen and training center that seeks to create an educational space for native chefs to be trained and develop their skills,and reconnect with their cooking heritage.“Part of our challenge to ourselves was to cut out ingredients that are not native so we stopped using dairy,wheat flour and cane sugar,”he said.He cooks with local ingredients.His choices of meats are the same as those hunted by his ancestors—deer,fish,and birds.“For indigenous people who went through very strong assimilation(同化现象),we lost a lot of our food culture,”Sherman said.“But we’re at a point now where we can reclaim it and develop it for the next generation.To be able to share culture through food will be really healing.”64．What did Sherman realize when he was in Minneapolis?A．He didn’t have enough cooking passion.B．He should spend a few years researching cooking.C．He should write a book about the indigenous recipes.D．He didn’t know his Lakota ancestors’cooking ways and ingredients.65．Sherman set up the NATIFS center to________.A．make money and open his own restaurantB．build an educational space for local childrenC．train and help local chefs to cook local foodD．teach native chefs the most superb cooking skills66．What is a problem for his native cooking culture according to Sherman?A．Very strong assimilation.B．Its high speed of evolution.C．Too much meat in the diet.D．Indigenous recipes that can’t be shared.8.（2023年广东华南师大附中模拟预测）Check out what’s coming soon and what’s in development.Playbill will update these listings when new

First,he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other.Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals.He placed them in the tanks and waited.Little by little,these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem.After a few weeks,John added the sludge.He was amazed at the results.The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it!Within weeks,it had all been digested,and all that was left was pure water.Over the years,John has taken on many big jobs.He developed a

device.4.(2023年新高考I卷D篇)On March7,1907,the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the“wisdom of crowds”effect.The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases,the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors,those errors aren’t always the same.Some people will tend to overestimate,and some to underestimate.When enough of these errors are averaged together,they cancel each other out,resulting in a more accurate estimate.If people are similar and tend to make the same errors,then their errors won’t cancel each other out.In more technical terms,the wisdom of crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent.If for whatever reasons,people’s errors become correlated or dependent,the accuracy of the estimate will go down.But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist(转折)on this classic phenomenon.The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion,the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals.For instance,the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from20independent individuals.13.Navajas’study found that the average accuracy could increase even if________.A.the crowds were relatively smallB.there were occasional underestimatesC.individuals did not communicateD.estimates were not fully independent5.（2023年新高考II卷A篇）Yellowstone National Park offers a variety of ranger programs throughout the park,and throughout

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important in formation that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example, some might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great.I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for on e hundred dollars!”This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only on e was a winner. He’s really a big loser!He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手) says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” that’s true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers(广告商) will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law t o make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too of often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, andsometimes the truth can lie as well.1. How much did the lottery winner lose?A. One hundred dollars.B. Two hundred dollars.C. Three hundred dollars.D. Four hundred dollars.2. We may infer that the author believes people should _______.A. buy lottery ticketsB. make use of half-truthsC. not take anything at face valueD. not trust the Yucky Company3. What do the underline words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. final increaseB. big advantageC. large shareD. total saving4. What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?A.False statements are easy to see through.B. B.

Shami is a spy working for MI5, the British domestic security service. Recently he was interviewed by the BBC for the now TV documentary series.

2024届江苏省兴化中学高三高考综合演练(二)英语试题

2024届江苏省兴化中学高三高考综合演练（二）英语试题一、阅读理解King's College Summer School is an annual training program for high school students at all levels who want to improve their English. Courses are given by the teachers of King's College and other colleges in New York. Trips to museums and culture centers are also organized. This year's summer school will be from 25 July to 15 August.More information is as follows：1．Which of the following is TRUE about King's College Summer School?A．Only top students can take part in the program.B．King's College Summer School is run every other year.C．Visits to museums and culture centers are part of the program.D．Only the teachers of King's College give courses.2．How much will you pay the school if you are to attend the program but live with your relatives in New York?A．＄200.B．＄400.C．＄500.D．＄900.3．What information can you get from the text?A．The program will last two months.B．You can write to Thompson only in English.C．As a Chinese student, you can send your application on 14 July, 2022.D．You can get in touch with the school by email or by telephone.In high school I was very shy, content to hang around with my small group of friends and to concentrate on my courses. I was quickly labeled a "brain." I did so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect grades and enough college credits to give up an entire quarter of coursework.But in early June of senior year, the principal called me into his office. He asked me to give a speech at graduation. I was surprised to look at him, my heart thumping. This was the reward for my hard work? I murmured something and fled the office, blaming myself for staying away from physics, a subject sure to have broken up my perfect record.I finally agreed to a compromise. I would share the honor with five other students. I agreed to introduce my friend Judy, who would then give her own, full-length speech.Graduation day soon arrived, I’d been practicing my speech for days, and I had it memorized. The first half hour of the ceremony passed in a blur, and then my moment came. My name was announced. I managed to reach the stage without falling down. I faced my classmates. My voice trembled a little, but mostly it was clear and strong. But within seconds, I was done and heading back to my seat. I accomplished something I’d never dreamed of — I spoke in front of hundreds of people.Although I didn’t realize it at the time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the confidence to take part in class at college, to give oral reports, and to eventually break free of my shyness. I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation — or ever. But I’m glad I did. Ino longer hesitate when I’m faced with the prospect of doing something I feared. I know it may very well turn out to be one of my shining moments.4．Why was the writer called a "brain"?A．She was the most intelligent student.B．She was the head of her small group.C．She was a bookworm all the time.D．She did more coursework for good grades.5．What can we learn from the second paragraph?A．She ruined her health by studying hard.B．She got the reward as was expected.C．She was grateful for giving a speech.D．She wasn't good at physics at school.6．How did the author feel at the beginning of the graduation speech?A．Excited.B．Moved.C．Scared.D．Embarrassed7．What did the speech bring to the author at last?A．She had nothing to fear in life,B．She won enough college credits.C．She got rid of her sense of shyness.D．She desired to become a speaker.On average, American kids ages 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school, eight hours more than they did in 1981. They also did more household work and participated in more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet. Involvement in sports, in particular, rose almost 50% from 1981 to 1997: boys now spend an average of four hours a week playing sports; girls log hall that time. All in all, however, children’s leisure time dropped from 40% of the day in 1981 to 25%.“Children are affected by the same time crunch that affects their parents,” says Sandra Hofferth, who headed the recent study of children’s timetable. A chief reason, she says, is that more mothers are working outside the home. (Nevertheless, children in both double-income and “male breadwinner” households spent comparable amounts of time interacting with their parents19 hours and 22 hours respectively. In contrast, children spent only 9 hours with their single mothers.)All work and no play could make for some very messed-up kids. “Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself,” says T. Berry Brazelton, professor at Harvard Medical School Unstructured play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to negotiate their relationships with their peers, but kids ages 3 to 12 spent only 12 hours a week engaged in it.The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing “free time” watching television. But that, believe it or not, was one of the findings parents might regard as good news. If they’re spending less time in front of the TV set, however, kids aren’t replacing it with reading. Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books, the children spent just over an hour a week reading. Let’s face it, who’s got the time?8．What does the underlined phrase “the same time crunch” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Children have little time to play with their parents.B．Both parents and children suffer from lack of leisure time.C．Children are not taken good care of by their working parents.D．Both parents and children have trouble managing their time.9．In the author’s opinion, a child develops better if .A．he has plenty of time reading and studying B．he is free to interact with his working parentsC．he is left to play with his peers in his own way D．he has more time participating in school activities10．What does the author worry about American kids?A．They are increasingly ignored by their working mothers.B．They are engaged in more and more structured activities.C．They are spending more and more time watching TV.D．They are involved less and less in household work.11．What can we conclude from the text?A．Extracurricular activities promote children’s intelligence.B．Most parents believe reading to be beneficial to children.C．Efforts to get kids interested in reading have been fruitful.D．Most children will turn to reading with TV sets switched off.Move over, helicopter parents. “Snowplow (扫雪机) parents” are the newest reflection of an intensive (强化的) parenting style that can include parents booking their adult children haircuts, texting their college kids to wake them up so they don’t sleep through a test, and even calling their kids’ employers.Helicopter parenting, the practice of wandering anxiously near one’s children, monitoring their every activity, is so 20th century. Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: machines moving ahead, clearing any difficulties in their children’s path to success, so they don’t have to suffer failure, frustration (挫折) or lose opportunities.It starts early, when parents get on wait lists for excellent preschools before their babies are born and try to make sure their kids never do anything that may frustrate them. It gets more intense when school starts: running forgotten homework to school or calling a coach to request that their children make the team.Rich parents may have more time and money to devote to making sure their children don’t ever meet with failure, but it’s not only rich parents practicing snowplow parenting. This intensive parenting has become the most welcome way to raise children, regardless of income, education, or race.Yes, it’s a parent’s job to support the children, and to use their adult wisdom to prepare for the future when their children aren’t mature enough to do so. That’s why parents hide certain toys from babies to avoid getting angry or take away a teenager’s car keys until he finishes his college applications.But snowplow parents can take it too far, some experts say. If children have never faced a difficulty, what happens when they get into the real world?“Solving problems, taking risks and overcoming frustration are key life skills,” many child development experts say, “and if parents don’t let their children experience failure, the children don’t acquire them.”12．What do we know about snowplow parenting?A．It appeared before helicopter parenting.B．It costs parents less than helicopter parenting.C．It was a typical phenomenon of the 20th century.D．It provides more than enough services for children.13．What is mainly discussed about snowplow parenting in Paragraph 4?A．Its cost.B．Its benefits.C．Its popularity.D．Its ending. 14．Why does the author mention parents’ taking away car keys?A．To show teenagers are no better than babies.B．To advise teenagers not to treat their cars as toys.C．To advise parents not to buy cars for their teenagers.D．To show it’s appropriate to help children when necessary.15．What’s the possible result of snowplow parenting according to the experts?A．Children lacking problem-solving ability in reality.B．Children mastering more key life skills than parents.C．Children gaining great success in every aspect of life.D．Children meeting no problems or frustration after growing up.Capture spirit of youth“Youth is like the early spring，like the morning sun，like the budding flowers，like the sharp blade fresh off the grinding stone.
