No way could I have sent her away.No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house." "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her."I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.21. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?A. Shocked.B. Sympathetic.C. Annoyed.D. Upset.22. In her first few days at the author's house, Goldie .A. felt worriedB. was angryC. ate a littleD. sat by the fire23. Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she .A. saw her puppiesB. heard familiar barkingsC. wanted to leave the authorD. found her way to her old home24. The passage is organized in order of .A. timeB. effectivenessC. importanceD. complexityB (2010北京D)The Cost of Higher EducationIndividuals (个人) should pay for their higher education.A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates earn more than non-graduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government. Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy.If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand morefrom their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate.Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest. Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education.25. The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refers to .A. taxpayersB. pressing callsC. college graduatesD. government resources26. The author thinks that with full government funding .A. teachers are less satisfiedB. students are more demandingC. students will become more competentD. teachers will spend less time on teaching27. The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to .A. argue against free university educationB. call on them to finance students' studiesC. encourage graduates to go into businessD. show their contribution to higher education Writing Corner (近五年高考书信分类范文精选)三、求助信Part 1：范文赏析（2016全国I卷）假定你是李华，暑假想去一家外资公司兼职，已写好申请书和个人简历（resume）。
拾级而上作文700字
拾级而上作文700字英文回答：Climbing up the ladder is a common metaphor for making progress or advancing in life. It symbolizes the idea of gradually moving upward, step by step, towards a goal or a higher position. In my opinion, this metaphor is very relevant and applicable to various aspects of life.In terms of education, climbing up the ladder means advancing academically and gaining more knowledge and skills. For example, when I was in high school, I started with basic math and science courses. As I progressed, I took more challenging classes and eventually reached advanced courses like calculus and physics. Each step up the ladder required me to learn and master new concepts and build upon the foundation I had already established.Similarly, in the professional world, climbing up the ladder means moving up the career hierarchy and taking onmore responsibilities and leadership roles. For instance, when I started my first job as an entry-level employee, I was given simple tasks and had limited decision-making authority. However, as I gained experience and proved my capabilities, I was given more challenging projects and eventually promoted to a managerial position. Each step up the ladder required me to demonstrate my skills and prove my worth to the organization.Furthermore, climbing up the ladder can also be applied to personal growth and self-improvement. It represents the idea of continuously striving for self-betterment and reaching new heights. For instance, let's say I have a fear of public speaking. I can start by taking small steps, such as joining a public speaking club or practicing in front of a mirror. As I gain confidence and improve my skills, I can gradually move up the ladder by speaking in front of small groups, then larger audiences, and eventually giving presentations at conferences. Each step up the ladder requires me to overcome my fears and push myself out of my comfort zone.中文回答：拾级而上是一个常用的比喻，用来描述在生活中取得进步或提升的过程。

However, the mosquitoes would just lightly dance around her forehead and fly away quickly, never biting her. Amazed (惊奇的), I ran to others' 51 , only to find they were all sleeping 52 as the same thing occurred again and again.From those bites, I came to 53 my grandma's silly tale.

While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced（影响）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.56. Why was the bike so important to the couple?A. The man’s job was bike racing.B. It was their only possession.C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.D. They used it for work and daily life.57. We can infer from the text that ____________.A. the couple worked 60 hours a weekB. people were busy before ChristmasC. the stranger brought over the bikeD. life was hard for the young family58. How did people get to know the couple’s problem?A. From radio broadcasts.B. From a newspaper.C. From TV news.D. From a stranger.59. What do the couple learn from their experience?A. Strangers are usually of little help.B. One should take care of their bike.C. News reports make people famous.D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.B (2010LNB)I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, 'I’m having a dinner party' means: "I'm booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can't afford and we'll be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat." Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They'll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don't drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: "Where are you going?" And it's not likely I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone knows I have nowhere to go.But in London, dinner parties are in people's homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations. In New York, the mix is less striking. It's like a gathering at Bloomingdale's, a well-known department store.For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in NewYork. But at Mallery's, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club.60. What does the word "shot" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Choice.B. TryC. Style.D. Goal.61. What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York?A. There is a strange mix of people.B. The restaurants are expensive.C. The bill is not fairly shared.D. People have to pay cash.62. What does the author think of the parties in London?A. A bit unusualB. Full of tricks.C. Less costly.D.

To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils (灾祸).People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions(反应) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically.

I was always very 36 in using a dictionary, and 37 it most difficult, while to other boys it seemed no 38 . I formed an alliance (盟友) with a boy in the Sixth Grade. He was very clever and 39 read Latin as easily as English. My friend for his part was almost as 40 troubled by the English essays he had to write for the headmaster as I was 41 these Latin words. We agreed together that he should 42 me my Latin translations and that I should do his essays. The arrangement 43 wonderfully. The headmaster seemed quite 44 with my work, and I had more time to myself in the morning. On the other hand, once a week 45 I had to compose the essays of my friend. For several months no difficulty 46 , but once we were nearly caught out.One afternoon, the headmaster 47 my friend to discuss one essay with him in a lively spirit. “I was interested in this 48 you make here.

But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风) within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物) were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好) quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.56. The text mainly discusses the relationship between .A. heart problems and air qualityB. heart problems and exercisingC. heart problems and smokingD. heart problems and fatty food57.

Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging (抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!You say to your shirt, “Turn red”. It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles (粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes’ color or pattern.You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk, and it knows the milk is old.

On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all aroundyou.So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli, “it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example —what will be the next?60.

I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “Make something out of the T inkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect (感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really—at night, when you’re asleep?”“Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”21. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?A. know more about the studentsB. make the lessons more excitingC. raise the students’ interest in artD. teach the students about toy design22. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher.B. He preferred to study alone.C. He was active in class.D. He was imaginative.23. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden.24. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A. To help them to see their creativity.B. To find out about their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out about their ways of thinking.B (2012安徽D)In Asia, there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them. Although all kites have a similar structure (结构), they are widely different in size and shape. Kite-fighting competitions are also held, in which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents’ (对手) kites or cut their strings (线).For more than 15 years, the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite-making and kite-flying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii. In its kite-making lessons, students canmake kites in as little as 20 minutes! Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite. Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980. Their kites are made of nylon (尼龙). Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne. The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite.The kite that is used to give lessons is a regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern. The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite. Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in. Then the controls are given to the students.Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites. Even the simplest structure can work, and can give hours of fun. Go on, give it a try!25. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. A hot knife is used to iron the nylon.B. Children never fly kites on their own in flying lessons.C. Kite strings must not be cut in kite-fighting competitions.D. Daphne designs kites for the Big Wind Kite Factory.26. What is different about the kite used for flying lessons?A. A. It has two strings.B. It is simple in design.C. It has a rainbow pattern.D. It is shaped like a diamond.27. According to Jonathan, what do you need to have fun with kites?A. A large kite.B. Any type of kite.C. A complex structure.D. A kite that impresses others.28. What is mainly described in the text?A. A kite factory.B. Kite-flying lessons.C. Special competitions.D. The kite-making process.语法填空(共10小题; 每小题1.5分，满分15分) 2015.3河北百校联盟模拟阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式填空。
高考英语《阅读理解+读后续写》真题含答案
高考英语《阅读理解＋读后续写》真题含答案Ⅰ.阅读理解Athe four basic steps used to persuade potentials to make a purchase. The first three steps lie in creating attention (A), decorating interest (I), and building desire (D) for the product, before the fourth step—the “call to action” (A)—tells them exactly how and where to buy. AIDA can channel the customer's feelings through each stage toward reaching a sale.Attracting the customer's attention is the first challenge and this may be achieved by using an attracting phrase or picture. Once someone's attention has been clutched,__it must be turned into real interest. This is best done by providing a brief description of the product's benefits to the consumer rather than simply listing the product's main features or problemsolving claims.Now, it is time to transform that interest into a desire for a product or service. This is where consumers need to believe their lives could be better by possessing the product. It could be a vital step towards turning a potential into a real customer.“Calltoaction” is where all of the initial hard work pays off and leads to the action from a potential customer. For example, they might pick up the phone to discuss the idea of a trial of the services or, alternatively, they may just buy that product or service that has been promoted to them all along.And AIDA is used to great effect in the movie industry. Movie studios begin their marketing campaigns months in advance. The campaigns develop by offering attractive flashes of the movie without giving too much away. Desire is inspired by the release of the full preview which is fully designed to show the exciting moments of the movie, from special effects to humorous lines of dialogue on the opening weekend. Advertisements in newspapers and on television focus on the movie's release, inviting the consumer to go and buy a ticket.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了现代市场营销和广告实践的基础——AIDA模式，重点介绍了该模式的运作原理。
拾级而上努力学习作文
拾级而上努力学习作文《拾级而上，学习之旅学习就像登山，得一步一个脚印地拾级而上。
我从自己的学习经历中，就深深体会到了这点。
就拿我学数学来说吧。
刚上初中那会，数学突然变得很难，那些代数、几何题像一群小怪兽在我面前张牙舞爪。
我第一次考试，成绩那叫一个惨不忍睹。
看着那满卷子的红叉叉，我心里像被猫挠了一样难受。
但是我知道，不能就这么被打败了。
我就从最基础的定理开始重新学起。
每天晚上做完作业后，我就把课本拿出来，一条一条地看定理，自己在本子上推导公式。
就像爬山先找好脚下的石头一样，把基础打牢。
有一次，我在推导三角函数的一个公式，怎么推都觉得不对。
我就把从最初的定义开始，一步步画图形，把每个角、每条边都仔细标注好。
那段时间，我的草稿纸用得特别快，桌子上到处都是揉成一团的草稿纸。
大约花了一个多小时，我终于推导出来了，那种感觉就像在登山的途中找到了一条隐藏的小路，特别兴奋。
然后我就开始做练习题。
从最简单的开始做，做完对答案，错了就重新做。
就这样一点点做中等难度、高难度的题目。
这个过程就像是在山路上不断向上攀爬，虽然累得气喘吁吁，但是每爬一步就离山顶更近一点。
经过好几个月的努力，我的数学成绩慢慢提高了，期末考试的时候，成绩理想多了。
学习就是如此，没有什么捷径。
我们得像登山者似的，老老实实地拾级而上。
在这个过程中，有汗水有泪水，有失败有沮丧，但只要坚持，总能爬上更高的山峰，看到更美的风景。
《拾级而上，英语学习小记》学习英语对我来说，也是一场拾级而上的漫长旅程。
记得最开始学英语的时候，我连26个字母都认不全，那些叽里呱啦的英语就像外星语一样。
上英语课的时候，我总是迷迷糊糊的。
可是看着身边的同学都能流畅地读单词、背句子，我心里就暗暗较劲。
我先从背单词入手。
每天早上起床，就拿着单词本坐在阳台上大声读单词。
那些单词就像一个个调皮的小豆子，在我的脑袋里乱蹦。
有时候，一个单词读上十遍八遍还是结结巴巴的。
比如umbrella这个单词，我先是把它拆成um - bre - lla这样来读，反复读了很多遍后才慢慢通顺。

高三英语大阅读暨写作拾级而上3The Homeless HeroFor many, finding an unattended wallet filled with £400 in cash would be a source (来源) of temptation (诱惑). But the 16 would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith 17 more remarkable.After spotting a 18 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the 19 to return.After hours in the cold and wet, he 20 inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact (联系) the driver, only to 21 it contained £400 in notes, with another £50 in spare change beside it.He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 22 a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car —which was itself worth £35,000 —in Glasgow city centre, they were 23 to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was 24 .The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his 25 .Mr. Anderson said:＂I couldn’t believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 26 he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and 27 he didn’t take the wallet for himself; he thought about others 28 . It’s unbelievable. It just proves there are 29 guys out there.＂Mr. Smith’s act 30 much of the public’s attention. He also won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson 31 about the act of kindness on Facebook.Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to 32 money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received￡8,000.＂I think the faith that everyone has shown 33 him has touched him. People have been approaching him in the street; he’s had job 34 and all sorts,＂Mr. Anderson commented.For Mr. Smith, this is a possible life-changing 35 .

When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen — they can't do both — and they don't understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships — not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked to them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children. Since a girl's brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually disappointed to receive only short grunts in reply.36. While watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because they .A. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friendsB. can both talk and watch the screen at the same timeC. think they can have a good time and develop relationshipsD. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands37. After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours inorder to .A. experience the happy time againB. keep a close tie with herC. recommend her a new scenic spotD. remind her of something forgotten38. What does the author want to tell us most?A. Women's brains are better organized for language and communicationB. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.39. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Women Are Socially Trained to TalkB. Talking Maintains RelationshipsC. Women Love to TalkD. Men Talk Differently from WomenB (2010江西D)Modern inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at computer results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced; they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.40. The new products become more and more time-saving because .A. our love of speed seems never-endingB. time is limitedC. the prices are increasingly highD. the manufacturers boast a lot41. What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Imaginary life.B. Simple life in the past.C. Times of inventions.D. Time for constant activity.42. What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology?A. Critical.B. Objective.C. Optimistic.D. Negative.43. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The present and past times.B. Machinery and human beings.C. Imaginations and inventions.D. Modern technology and its influence.

The idea is to get people fit and reduce their carbon footprint. Guest will have to produce at least 10 watt hours of electricity – roughly 15 minutes of cycling for someone of average fitness. Guests staying at Plaza Hotel will be given meal tickets worth $36 once they have produced 10 watt hours of electricity.

Only guest staying at the hotel will be able to take part. Frederikke Toemmergaard, hotel spokeswoman, said, “Many of our visitors are business people who enjoy going to the gym.

US environmental website recently voted Copenhagen the world’s best city for cyclists. “Because Copenhagen is strongly connected with cycling, we felt the bicycle would work well as symbol of the hotel’s green profile (形象).”If successful, the electric bicycle meal programme will be spread to all Crowne Plaza hotelsin the UK, the hotel said in a statement.21.

But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy (伞蓬) built into a street lamp,” he said.The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors (传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.25. For what purpose did Belyaev create the lampbrella?A. To predict a heavy rain.B. To check the weather forecast.C. To protect people from the rain.D. To remind people to take an umbrella.26. What do we know from Belyaev’s words in Paragraph 2?A. His creation was inspired by an experience.B. it rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.27. Which of the following show how the lampbrella works?A. motor→canopy→sensorsB. sensors→motor→canopyC. motor→sensors→canopyD. canopy→motor→sensors28. What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?A. Its moving speed.B. Its appearance.C. Its installation.D. Its safety.29. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The designer will open a company to promote his product.B. The lampbrella could be put into immediate production.C. The designer is confident that his creation is practical.D. The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.语法填空(共10小题; 每小题1.5分，满分15分)2017年4月福建省质检阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式填空。

One answer is that in fact each sibling grows up in a different family. The firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later. The next child is, for a while, the youngest, until the situation is changed by a new arrival. The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too. One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years; another might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappointed mother or an angry father.Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918. But more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others’ lives. Dr. Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. The reason for this might be that the later children aren’t getting the same one-on-one time with parents. Bu t that doesn’t mean that the younger children have problems with language development. Later-borns don’t enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an un derstanding of social concepts such as the difference between “I” and “me”.A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. Love-hate relationships were common among the children. Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have found that the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being more feminine than girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.56. The underlined part “in a different family”(in Para. 1) means “_______”.A. in a different family environmentB. in a different family traditionC. in different family crisesD. in different families57. In terms of language development, later-borns ________.A. get their parent s’ individual guidanceB. learn a lot from their elder siblingsC. experience a lot of difficultiesD. pick up words more quickly58. What was found about fights among siblings?A. Siblings hated fighting and loved playing.B. Siblings in some families fought frequently.C. Sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships.D. Siblings learned to get on together from fights.59.

The alarm clock announces the start of another busy weekday in the morning.You jump out of bed, rush into the shower, into your clothes and out the door with hardly a moment to think. A stressful journey to work gets your blood pressure climbing. Once at the office, you glance through the newspaper with depressing stories or reports of disasters. In that sort of mood, who can get down to work, particularly some creative, original problem-solving work?The way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that promote flexible, open-minded thinking. Imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when we’re unfocused. If you are one of those energetic morning people, your most inventive time comes in the early even ing when you are relaxed. Sleepy people’s lack of focus leads to an increase in creative problem solving. By not giving yourself time to tune into your wandering mind, you’re missing out on the surprising solutions it may offer.The trip you take to work d oesn’t help, either. The stress slows down the speed with which signals travel between neurons (神经细胞), making inspirations less likely to occur. And while we all should read a lot about what’s going on in the world, it would not make you feel good for sure, so put that news website or newspaper aside until after the day’s work is done.So what would our mornings look like if we wanted to start them with a full capacity for creative problem solving? We’d set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed, following our thoughts where they lead. We’d stand a little longer under the warm water of the shower, stopping thinking about tasks in favor of a few more minutes of relaxation. We’d take some deep breaths on our way to work, instead of complaining about heavy traffic. And once in the office —after we get a cup of coffee —we’d click on links not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web has to offer.60. According to the author, we are more creative when we are _______.A. focusedB. relaxedC. awakeD. busy61. What does the author imply about newspapers?A. They are solution providers.B. They are a source of inspirationC. They are normally full of bad news.D. They are more educational than websites.62. By “tune into your wandering mind” (in Para. 2), the author means “_______”.A. wander into the wildB. listen to a beautiful tuneC. switch to the traffic channelD. stop concentrating on anything63. The author writes the last paragraph in order to _______.A. offer practical suggestionsB. summarize past experiencesC. advocate diverse ways of lifeD. establish a routine for the future读后续写(读懂文章+抓住中心+应用已知信息) 2020山东阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

高三英语大阅读暨写作拾级而上8Ban the Band (乐队)?Every year, our school has a dance for all the students. It’s a little funny seeing friends in clean shoes and trousers or colorful 36 , instead of the usual school uniform.Most of us think the dance is great 37 — even the teachers enjoy being there. 38 , two weeks ago someone said that there would be no 39 band this year — only CDs.“I don’t 40 it!” Amy cried out during the lunch break.“Someone said the school couldn’t41 a band, and they think it’s too noisy anyway,”added Daniel.“Well,I don’t think it’s42 enough without a band!” declared Angela, “and I’m going to see what can be done.”Angela was as good as her 43 . In the afternoon she went to see the school headmaster who agreed to give the 44 some more thought. And he suggested that one 45 for having a band was to increase the price of each ticket from $5 to $10. Angela had to 46 out whether the students would like to do that.“I need all of you to help me,” she 47 to our group before school the next day.” Mr. Berry gave me a list of all the names, and suggested we ask each one their 48 about the band and the extra cost.”49 the day we asked around as Angela suggested, and wrote down people’s feelings about the band and the cost. We were amazed how much 50 there was for the band and everyone agreed to pay the extra $5.“I’m surprised,” smiled Mr. Berry, when we gave him the 51 . “I real ly thought that only a few people 52 their band and that the cost would be too high. OK. Angela, your next 53 is to find a good band and line them up for the dance.”Angela was all smiles and 54 the news to Amy and Daniel. “You’re55 ,” smiled Daniel to Angela as he thought how close they came to having a less than perfect dance.36.

The Lucy on exhibition at the Ethiopian National Museum in the capital, Addis Ababa, is a replica while the real remains are usually locked in a secret storeroom. A team from the Museum of National Science in Houston, Texas, spent four years discussing with the Ethiopians for the U.S. tour, which will start in Houston next September.“Ethiopia’s rich culture of both the past and today, is one of the best kept secrets in the world,” said Joel Bartsch, director of the Houston museum.The six-year tour will also go to Washington, New York, Denver and Chicago. Officials said six other U.S. cities may be on the tour. But they said plans had not been worked out.Travelling with Lucy will be 190 other fossils.Lucy, her name taken from a Beatles song that played in a camp the night of her discovery, is-foot-tall ape-man (猿人).part of the skeleton of what was once a 31221.

A camp.B (2012JX-D)For those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages. Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured (忍受). The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky fillingthe narrow window of the airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.Then there is the time spent being “processed” at a modern airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passenger move again to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being “processed” at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then, that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.Man, however, is now a world traveler and can not turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. Speed controls people’s lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing — or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.25. What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1?A. Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.B. The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short.C. The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams.D. Man has been fond of travelling rather than staying in one place.26. How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2?A. By giving instructions.B. By analyzing cause and effect.C. By following the order of time.D. By giving examples.27. According to Paragraph 3, passengers are turning back to modern high-speed trains because______.A. they pay less for the ticketsB. they feel safer during the travelC. they can enjoy higher speed of travelD. they don’t have to waste time being “processed”28. What does the last sentence of the passage mean?A. They could enjoy free and relaxing travel.B. They needed the clock to tell the time.C. They preferred travelling on horseback.D. They could travel with their master.29. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Air travel benefits people and industries.B. Train Travel has some advantages over air travel.C. Great changes have taken place in modern travel.D. The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.语法填空(共10小题; 每小题1.5分，满分15分) 2016.10浙江阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式填空。

A 140-year-old letter written by a lady calling for her to be allowed to study medicine at St Andrews University has been discovered by researchers. Written by Sophia Jex-Blake in 1873, the seven-page document, which urged the university to allow women to study medicine at the institution, was released yesterday on International Women’s Day.The document was discovered buried in the university archives (档案) by part-time history student Lis Smith, who is completing her PhD at St Andrews Institute of Scottish Historical Research. She said: “We knew that Sophia Jex-Blake and her supporters, in their effort to open up university medical education for women, had written to the Senatus Academicus (校评议委员会) a t St Andrews in an attempt to gain permission to attend classes there, but we didn’t know documentary evidence existed. While searching the archives for information about the university’s higher certificate for women, I was astonished to come across what must be the very letter Jex-Blake wrote.”In the letter, Sophia and her supporters offered to hire teachers or build suitable buildings for a medical school and to arrange for lectures to be delivered in the subjects not already covered at St Andrews. Although her letter was not successful, it eventually led to the establishment of the Ladies Literate in Arts at St Andrews, a distance-learning degree for women. The qualification, which ran from 1877 until the 1930s, gave women access to university education in the days before they were admitted as students. It was so popular that it survived long after women were admitted as full students to St Andrews in 1892.Ms Jex-Blake went on to help establish the London School of Medicine for Women in 1874. She was accepted by the University of Berne, where she was awarded a medical degree in January 1877. Eventually, she moved back to Edinburgh and opened her own practice.5.

高三英语大阅读暨写作拾级而上2This year I decided to do something to regain my good name as a kindly uncle. My 36 , Tony, had never forgiven me for the dictionary I had bought him as a birthday present last year. His 37 had no reason to be thankful to me either, because the year before, I had 38 their dear son with a pot of paste (浆糊) and some funny pictures. Instead of 39 them into a book, Tony had naturally covered every wall in the house with them. This year, 40 , I decided to let him 41 for himself.We went into a big shop, but Tony was very particular about 42 . Although I tried to show him toy after toy, he was not to be 43 . Then I saw he suddenly became 44 ; he had discovered something he really liked: a large tin drum. I was quite happy too —45 I thought what Tony’s mother would say when she saw it. Nobody would get any 46 for weeks! I led Tony away 47 , saying that the drum was too expensive.Tony asked for permission to go off 48 and I made the most of my chance to sit down and 49 my aching feet. Fifteen minutes passed but there was still no sign of Tony. I began to get 50 and got up to look for him. I asked a young lady if she had seen a little boy in a grey suit. She looked 51 her helplessly and pointed out that there were so many 52 in grey suits. I was just going to call the police for help, when I saw a strange 53 dressed in strange orange clothes. He was wearing a f alse beard and had a caveman’s axe (斧子) in one hand, and a space gun in the other. It was, of course, Tony, who informed me 54 that he was the first 55 to fly into space.36.

It received a cautious welcome from some in the arts world, who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged.The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows. Attendances reached 13.6 million in 2007, up 10 percent on 2006, itself a record year. Total sales were up 18 percent on 2006 to almost ￡470 million.One theatre source criticised the Government’s priorities (优先考虑的事) in funding free tickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying: “I don’t know why the Government’s wasting money on this. The Young Vic, as The Times rep orted today, offers excellent performances at cheap prices.”There was praise for the Government’s plan from Dominic Cooke of the Royal Court Theatre, who said: “I support any move to get young people into theatre, and especially one that aims to do it all over England, not just in London.”Ninety-five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two-year plan. In return, they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds, first-come, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre.Mr. Burnham said: “A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be inspired to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear it’s ‘not for them’. It’s time to change this perception.”Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, said: “The real issue is not getting enthusiastic children into the theatre, but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place. For too many children theatres are a no-go area.”21. Critics of the plan argued that _________.A. the theatres would be overcrowdedB. it would be a waste of moneyC. pensioners wouldn’t get free ticketsD. the government wouldn’t be able to afford it22. According to the supporters, the plan should _______.A. benefit the television industryB. focus on producing better playsC. help increase the sales of ticketsD. involve all the young people in England23. Which of the following is TRUE about the plan?A. Ninety-five theatres have received funding.B. Everyone will get at least one free ticket.C. It may not benefit all the young people.D. Free tickets are offered once every day.24. We can infer from the passage that in England ______.A. many plays are not for young people.B. many young people don’t like theatre.C. People know little about the planD. Children used to receive good arts education25. According to the passage, the issue to offer free tickets to young people seems _______.A. controversialB. inspiringC. excitingD. unreasonableB (2009天津D)Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation (感觉) of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions —those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.Psychologists have known that one person’s pe rception (感知) of another’s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses (假设), handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form. The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” ba sed on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,” says Bargh.26. According to Paragra ph 1, a person’s emotion may be affected by .A. the visitors to his office.B. the psychology lessons he hasC. his physical feeling of coldnessD. the things he has bought online27. The author mentions Harlow’s experiment to show that .A. adults should develop social skins.B. babies need warm physical contactC. caregivers should be healthy adultsD. monkeys have social relationships28. In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked to .A. evaluate someone’s personalityB. write down their hypothesesC. fill out a personal informationD. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively29. We can infer from the passage that .A. abstract thinking does not come from physical experiencesB. feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwideC. physical temperature affects how we see othersD. capable persons are often cold to others30. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Drinking for Better Social Relationships.B. Experiments of Personality Evaluation.C. Developing Better Drinking Habits.D. Physical Sensations and Emotions.语法填空(共10小题; 每小题1.5分，满分15分) 2019浙江阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start —there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal —that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck —of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract (合同) of the publisher —to be a published writer —is unbelievably rewarding (有回报的).60. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A. I was waiting for good fortune.B. I was trying to find an admirable job.C. I was being aimless about a suitable job.D. I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.61. The author decided to write a novel ______.A. to finish the writing courseB. to realize her own dreamC. to satisfy reader s’ wishD. to earn more money62. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A. Disturbed.B. Ashamed.C. Confident.D. Uncertain.63. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A.

There is no end in sight when starting to do something.读后续写(读懂文章+抓住中心+应用已知信息)2016.10浙江阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
