Geologists and glacier specialists are currently doing tests to see what they can find out about the bizarre landscape in that area.Some media reports are trying to claim that the water was actually drained by UFOs!Is it caused by global warming?Is this just media sensationalism,or something more?Whether there is a scientific explanation for what happened,only time will tell.This isn’t the first time a lake disappeared out of nowhere.There have been a few instances in the past where an earthquake caused water to drain.The only problem with this theory in this case in point is that there had been no reports of any earthquakes in that particular area in spring of 2007.1.What can we learn from the passage?A.The lake in Chile was in fact quite small.B.You cannot find the lake itself in Chile thirty years ago.C.Something strange happened before the lake disappeared.D.The lake water actually drained through the cracks at the bottom of the pit.2.What does the underlined word “hoax” in the second paragraph mean?A.Trick.B.Accident.C.Memory.D.Theory.3.What’s the writer’s attitude toward the lake’s disappearance in Chile?A.He believes it was caused by UFOs.B.He believes it was caused by global warming.C.He believes it was caused by an underground earthquake.D.He believes there are no scientific explanations up to now.4.What is the best title for this passage?A.The History of Chile LakesB.UFOs and the Lake’s Disappearance in ChileC.Huge Lake in Chile Disappears OvernightD.The Scientific Explanations to the Lake’s Disappearance in Chile〚导学号23500010〛Ⅱ.完形填空(2021·湖北沙市第二次考试)That holiday morning I didn’t have to attend schoo ually,on holiday,Mother1 me to sleep in.And I would certainly take full advantage of it.On this particular morning,2 ,I felt like getting up early.I stood by my window overlooking the 3 ,having nothing better to do.But as it turned out,I was soon to learn about something 4 in life.As I watched several people go by,get into their cars and drive off,I 5 an old man on a bicycle with a bucket on its 6 and a basket of rags and bottles on its back-carriage.He 7 from one car to another,washing and cleaning them.From the water on the ground,it seemed that he had already 8 washing and cleaning about a dozen or more cars.He must have begun to work quite early in the morning.Several thoughts 9 my mind as I watched him work.He wasn’t well-dressed.He had on a pair of shorts and a(n) 10 T-shirt.The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modern 11 would want to be seen riding on.But he seemed 12with life.There he was,working hard at his small business, 13 at passers-by and stopping to chat now and then 14 elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby.There was a noticeable touch of 15 in the way he seemed to be doing things 16 the windscreen(挡风玻璃),then standing back to admire it,scrubbing(擦净)the wheel and 17 ,standing back to see what they looked like after the scrub.It was a 18 to learn,I felt.At no age need one have to beg for a 19 if one has good health and is willing to work hard.For a while I felt 20 ofmyself.Young as I am—just sixteen,and there was this old man who must have been usefully engaged perhaps before the sun appeared above the horizon.1.A.forces B.allowsC.causesD.forbids2.A.otherwise B.thereforeC.howeverD.besides3.A.parking lot B.bus stopC.schoolD.market4.A.interesting B.surprisingC.awfuleful5.A.noticed B.recognizedC.calledD.assisted6.A.back B.handleC.wheelD.seat7.A.searched B.leftC.movedD.wandered8.A.stopped B.startedC.intendedD.finished9.A.crossed B.slippedC.disturbedD.inspired10.A.attractive B.shinyC.simpleD.expensive11.A.repairmen B.businessmenC.driversD.cyclists12.A.busy B.contentC.carefulD.bored13.A.waving B.lookingughingD.pointing14.A.about B.forC.withD.like15.A.worry B.respectC.sympathyD.pride16.A.cleaning B.fixingC.replacingD.covering17.A.still B.yetC.againD.soon18.A.lesson B.subjectC.skillD.fact19.A.business B.livingC.successD.right20.A.tired B.doubtfulC.fearfulD.ashamed〚导学号23500011〛Ⅲ.语法填空(2021·江西九江十校第二次联考)In 1990,over 100 countries signed 1. international agreement to make it illegal to buy or sell ivory,which is mainly used for jewellery.Most ivory is made from the tusks (长牙) of African elephants.These tusks are 2.

But it turns out that they can also switch on other senses to figure out a problem, just like humans. A new study indicates that when one of their senses is blocked, they can make decisions to use other senses to imitate a human's movements.In the first experiment, a bottlenose dolphin named Tanner was blindfolded and instructed to imitate the actions of a trainer in the water with him. When Tanner wasn't able to use sight to figure out the movement, he switched to another technique: send out sounds, listen to the echo and interpret the resulting sound waves. This ability —known as echolocation(回声定位法)—allowed Tanner to mimic movements by the trainer, such as spinning in the water.The study, conducted at the Dolphin Research Center in the Florida Keys, expands on previous studies looking at how dolphins are able to imitate other dolphins while blindfolded. To see if a change in sound would affect their imitation, researchers used humans instead of dolphins to make the movements in the water.Dr. Kelly Jaakkola said researchers were surprised by Tanner's use of echolocation. She explained that dolphins must decide when to use echolocation, “and that's problemsolving.”Janet Mann, a professor of biology who was not involved in the study, said the results were not surprising in that they were consistent with how dolphins act in the ocean. “Of course they would use their echolocation to get more information. Dolphins have to solve problems all the ti me in the wild.” she said.In the first experiment, trainer Emily Guarino indicated to T anner that he was supposed to imitate, and placed plastic eyecups over each eye. Wordlessly, the trainer began to spin in the water with his arms wrapped across his shoulders. Tanner then did a similar spin. After that, researchers tested a dozen behaviors that Tanner already knew, including blowing bubbles underwater, swimming like a shark with the tail — or feet — moving side to side and floating on top of the water. Each behavior was tested twice at random, with and without the blindfold, as researchers recorded echolocation soundsunderwater. Tanner was just as accurate at imitating a human — blindfolded or not — as he was at imitating another dolphin.1. We can learn that dolphins are ______.A. smartB. dullC. aggressiveD. mild2. In the first experiment, Tanner imitated a human's movements by ______.A. seeingB. touchingC. listeningD. smelling3. It is likely that dolphins swimming in the ocean use echolocation more ______.A. at noonB. in the dayC. in the afternoonD. at night4. The underlined word “mimic” means ______.A. changeB. imitateC. followD. refuse5. In the first experiment, plastic eyecups were placed over Tanner's eyes in order to ______.A. protect their eyesB. see the trainer clearlyC. blindfold the dolphinD. send out soundsⅣ.阅读简答For Robert Valderzak of Washington, D．C., Tuesday's earthquake was a miracle(奇迹)．Ever since he fell on Father's Day, 75yearold Valderzak had suffered severe hearing loss. But after the 5.8 quake, he could hear everything.Valderzak was visiting the VA Hospital with his son when the quake broke out. “It shook me terribly — right out of the bed，” said Valderzak. “But after that it s topped. And my son talked to me, and I could hear his voice.”Tests proved Valderzak's great hearing improvement. His doctors think they have a medical explanation for the miracle. “He had hearing loss caused by fluid(积液) in his middle ear，” said Dr.Ross Fletcher at the VA Hospital. “A combination of a drug he was taking and the earthquake event itself likely led to him losing the fluid and gaining back his hearing.” However, Dr. Jennifer Smullen in another hospital said the shaking itself might not have been enough to clear the fluid from Valderzak's inner ear. “But if somebody was shouting loudly when the earthquake happened, sometimes that's enough to clear some fluid out from the ear，” she said.“It's a complete pleasure because the event was unexpected and brought a lot of joy to him and his family，” said Fletcher.Valderzak has been a patient at the VA Hospital since it opened in 1967. Valderzak, an old soldier of the Korean and Vietnam wars, still has a_tough_fight ahead of him. He is suffering from cancer. The event has given him the encouragement he needs to fight cancer.1.

After breakfast we had arranged，as a surprise，to hire a car and take her for a beautiful drive in the country.Mother was rarely able to have a treat like that，because she was busy in the house nearly all the time.But on the very morning of the day，we changed the plan a little，because it occurred to father that it would be even better to take mother fishing.As the car was hired and paid for，we might as well use it to driveup into the hills where the streams are.As father said，if you just go driving without object，you have a sense of aimlessness，but if you are going to fish there is a definite purpose that heightens the enjoyment.So we all felt it would be nicer for mother to have a definite purpose.Father had just got a fishing rod the day before，which he said mother could use if she wanted to.Only mother said she would much rather watch him fish than try to fish herself.So we got her to make up a sandwich lunch in case we got hungry，though we were to e home again to a big festive dinner.Well，when the car came to the door，it turned out that there was not as m uch space in it as we had supposed.It was plain that we couldn’t all get in.Father said that he could just stay home and put in the time working in the garden.He said that there was a lot of rough dirty work that he could do，like digging a trench for the garbage，which would save hiring a man，and so he said that he’d stay at home; he said that we were not to let the fact that he had not had a real holiday for three years stand in our way.He wanted us to go right ahead and not to mind him.But of course we all felt that it would never do to let father stay home，especially as we knew he would make trouble if he did.The two girls，Anne and Mary，would have stayed and helped the maid get dinner，only it seemed such a pity，for the two girls were eager to show their new hats on a lovely day like this.But they said that mother had only to say the word and they’d gladly stay at home and work.Will and I would have dropped out，but unfortunately we wouldn’t have been any use in preparing the dinner.1．The author’s family decided to celebrate Mother’s Day specially to ________.A．show love for their motherB．show gratitude to their motherC．show respect for their motherD．to make up for a previous appointment2．According to Paragraph 2，we know that the plan was changed because ________.A．father proposed to go fishing outB．we thought that driving out is boringC．we failed to hire a car to go outD．the car was not big enough3．What problem did we find when the car arrived?A．The car was too old to drive on mountain roads.B．The car was larger than we expected.C．The car was too small to acmodate us all.D．The car was too plain looking.4．Why didn’t the author drop out of the activity? A．Because his sisters didn’t join in.B．Because he needed to have dinner.C．Because he couldn’t cook the dinner.D．Because he hadn’t had a real holiday for three years. 5．Which of the following proverbs describes the text best? A．Everything es to him who waits.B．Changes always go beyond plans.C．Better late than never.D．Once on shore，one prays no more.B(xx·广东茂名高三模拟)Kids undergo a large amount of pressure and stress during their school exams，which can often bee quite overwhelming for them.It may be the first experience of stress，at this level，they have ever experienced and therefore quite frightening.Yes，you may say that it’s all a part of growing up and therefore good lessons for them to learn，and to an extent I agree with you.However，it’s important to learn how to prepare for life’s challenges so that they aren’t overwhelming or scary and so that we are able to manage them the best we can.Here are some tips you can use during your kids exam time.Break their revision plan down into small parts.Doing this will help transform what once seemed like a huge impossible task into a more manageable one.Help them arrange properly so that the subjects they like the least (perhaps ones that require more time and effort) are worked on first; once they are out of the way，it will help reduce the worry.Plan week on week to make sure they are on track.Ticking items of a list each week will help them to feel good about themselves and their progress.Create rewards for all the ticks—a favourite TV programme，a delicious snack，an hour’s surfing the Internet，puter games or whatever it was that they enjoy the most.This will encourage them to carry on and make them feel good.Think of strategies on how to deal with exams calmly so their anxieties don’t get_the_better_of them.Talk about times in their lives when they had been successful at something and look at the qualities they used to get them there—determination，persistence，hard work，patience，positivity，dedication—discuss how they can apply these skills to their exams.Acknowledge that if they do their best that is good enough.Ensure they realize that this period in their lives will pass and that exams are only a temporary time in their lives; nothing can and does last forever.Ensure they keep their eye on the prize：enjoying their long summer holiday when the exams are finished; giving them something to look forward to will help to motivate them and provide a positive end in sight.6．According to Paragraph 1，it’s important to learn how to preparefor exams because ________.A．it is a part of growing upB．it is the first experience of stressC．it helps kid release stress and do betterD．it is important to get a good mark in exams7．Which subjects should be worked on first?A．Their best ones.B．Their favourite ones.C．The easiest ones.D．The most difficult ones.8．The underlined expression “get the better of” in Para graph 7 is closest in meaning to ________.A．defeat B．worryC．keep sb.calm D．make sb.feel better9．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?A．Kid should bee aware of the importance of exams.B．Kids should learn to deal with exam pressure independently.C．Parents should keep their kids away from entertainment.D．Parents should care about the psychological development of children.10．Who are the intended readers of the passage?A．Kids. B．Parents.C．Educators. D．People in general.Ⅴ.阅读填空(xx·娄底高中名校高三联考)With its fascinating and artistic acpanying music，singing and costumes，the Peking Opera is China’s national opera.Full of Chinese cultural facts，the opera presents the audience with an encyclopedia(百科全书)of Chinese culture，as well as developing stories，beautiful paintings，magnificent costumes，graceful gestures and martial arts.Since Peking Opera enjoys a higher reputation than other local operas，almost every province in China has more than one Peking Opera Troupe.Opera is so popular among Chinese people，especially seniors，that even “Peking Opera Month” has been declared.Peking Opera’s main tune originated from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei and，over time，techniques from many other local operas were incorporated into Peking Opera.It is believed that Peking Opera gradually came into being after 1790when the famous four Anhui Opera Troupes came to Beijing.Peking Opera experienced fast development during the period of Emperor Qianlong and the infamous Empress Cixi，eventually being more accessible to the mon people.In ancient times，Peking Opera was performed mostly on stage in the open air，teahouses or temple courtyards.Since the orchestra played loudly，the performers developed a sharp style of singing.The costumes were a gorgeous collection of sharply contrasting colors to stand out on the stage lighted only by oil lamps.Peking Opera is a harmonious bination of the Grand Opera，ballet and acrobatics (杂技)，consisting of dance，dialogue and martial arts.The Peking Opera band mainly consists of an orchestra and percussion(打击乐器)band.The former frequently acpanies peaceful scenes while the latter provides the right atmosphere for battle scenes.The orchestral instruments include the Erhu，Huqin，Yueqin，Sheng，Pipa and other instruments.The band usually sits on the left side of the stage.Title: 1._____________Ⅵ.阅读简答(xx·长沙模拟)Life on earth depends on water, and there is no substitute for it. The current assumption is that our basic needs for water—whether for drinking, agriculture, industry or the raising of fish will always have to be met. Given that premise(前提), there are two basic routes we can go: more access to water or more engineering solutions (more dams, for instance)．Looking at the engineering solution first, a lot of my research concentrates on what happens to wetlands when you build dams in river basins, particularly in Africa. The ecology of such areas is almost entirely driven by the seasonal regime of the river, or rather, the pulse of the water. And the fact is that if you build a dam, you generally spoil the down stream ecology. In the past, such problems have been hidden by a lack of information. But in the next century, governments will have no excuse for their ignorance. The engineers ability to control water flows has created new kinds of unpredictability. Dams in Africa have meant fewer fish, lessgrazing and less agriculture—none of which were expected.The challenge for the next century is to find new means of controlling water. Although GM technology will allow us to breed better dry－land crops, there is no market stimulation for panies to develop crops suitable for the micro－climates of the Sahel and elsewhere in Africa. Who is going to pay for research on locally appropriate crops in the Third World?This brings us to the key issue in any discussion of water: money. In the next century, just consider the problems of water supply in Mexico City or Delhi. If you’re rich, you drink mineral water and may even have a swimming pool—yet millions in such cities can’t get safe drinking water. People talk about the ing water crisis. I believe we have one now. It is a water crisis for the poor.1．According to the passage, what are the two ways to solve the problem of water crisis？(No more than 8 words)________________________________________________________________________2．What will happen when dams are built in river basins in Africa？(No more than 6 words)__________________________________________________________________ ______3．Why are panies not willing to develop locally appropriate crops for the Third World？(No more than 6 words)__________________________________________________________________ ______4．What is the tone of the passage？(1 words)__________________________________________________________________ ______模块2课后达标检测4Ⅰ.单项填空1．解析：选A。

Unit 1 Tales of the unexplained 试题出处试题信息语篇概要文化品格2021·江苏卷阅读理解C 介绍厄尔尼诺现象的由来、影响及危害，希望人们对厄尔尼诺现象的发生做好充分的准备。

了解自然，探索自然，降低自然灾害造成的损失。

El Niño，a Spanish term for “the Christ child，〞 was named by South American fishermen who noticed that the global weather pattern，which happens every two to seven years，reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas.El Niño sees warm water，collected over several years in the western Pacific，flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken，or sometimes the other way round.The weather effects，both good and bad，are felt in many places.Rich countries gain more from powerful Niños，on balance，than they lose.A study found that a strong Niño in 199798 helped America’s economy grow by 15 billion，partly because of better agricultural harvests：farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain.The total rise in agricultural incomes in rich countries is greater than the fall in poor ones.But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames.A multiyear drought(干旱) in southeast Brazil is becoming worse.Though heavy rains brought about by El Niño may relieve the drought in California，they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.The most recent powerful Niño，in 199798，killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth 36 billion around the globe.But such Niños come with months of warning，and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare.According to the Overseas Development Institute(ODI)，however，just 12% of d isasterrelieffunding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance，rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards.This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on riskreduction saves at least two on reconstruction.Simple improvements to infrastructure(根底设施) can reduce the spread of disease.Better sewers(下水道) make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach.Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods.According to a paper in 2021 by Mr Hsiang and coauthors，civil conflict is related to El Niño’s harmful effects—and the poorer the country，the stronger the link.Though the relationship may not be causal，helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people.Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Niño，reducing their losses needs to be the priority.61．What c an we learn about El Niño in Paragraph 1?A．It is named after a South American fisherman.B．It takes place almost every year all over the world.C．It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.D．It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.答案 D解析细节理解题。

attention to an old piece of advice about having enough sleep every day might be more important.Research suggests that poor sleep can increase the chance to colds.Studies have shown that poor sleep and a chance to catch a cold go hand in hand, and scientists think sleep plays an important role in the body's defenses.In a recent study for The Archives of Internal Medicine, scientists followed 153 men and women for two weeks, keeping an eye on their quality and duration(连续性)of sleep.Then, during a fiveday period, they exposed them to cold viruses.Those who slept an average of fewer than seven hours a night, it turned out, were three times as likely to get sick as those who averaged at least eight hours a night.Sleep and immunity(免疫), it seems, are tightly linked.Studies have found that mammals that require the most sleep also produce greater levels of diseasefighting white blood cells—but not red blood cells, even though both are produced in bone marrow(骨髓) and stem from the same precursor.And researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology have shown that species that sleep more have greater resistance against pathogens(病原体)．“People who have longer sleep every night，” the Planck scientists wrote, “appear to be able to strengthen their immune systems and be better protected.”【语篇解读】随着天气变冷，越来越多的人将会感冒。
