2022届高三英语阅读专项训练之七选五(含答案及部分解析)
2022高三英语阅读专项训练之七选五（A）How to Improve Your MemoryThe human brain is extremely complex and powerful. 1．Here are three simple things that will help you improve your memory and keep it going strong into your old age.Get plenty of exercise and rest.Exerci se isn’t just good for your physical body, but it is also good for your brain. Exercise increases the amount of oxygen that gets to your brain. 2．When you exercise, your brain produces certain chemicals that help to protect your brain cells. Rest is also an important part of improving your memory. Studies show that key memory improvement happens when you are in those deep stages of sleep, so go to bed early every night.Have a good laugh as often as you can.Not only is laughter good for the soul, it is also good for the brain and can help improve your memory.3．This helps you to learn more and be more creative. So, go ahead and belt out a good laugh. Not only will others join you, but you will feel much better after doing it.4．Stress has a bad effect on your body, especially the brain. If you let stress stay, it can destroy your brain cells and cause damage to the part of the brain responsible for creating new memories and remembering old ones. So, stay away from stress. It’s bad for you. If you are fee ling a little stressed, go outside and take a little walk around. 5．A．It also helps to reduce memory lossB．Avoid stress.C．Change your behavior.D．This will make you feel ten times better.E.When you laugh you excite many areas of your brain.F.The health of your brain directly shows how strong your memory is.G.The human brain is like a muscle and can be trained.（B）Memories are important, but as we age our memory declines. The good news is that scientistshave been learning more about our brain’s amaz ing ability to change and grow, even in old age. 1 Learn something new.Memory strength is like muscular strength. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. But you can’t lift the same size weight every day and expect to get stronger. You’ll need to keep your brain constantly challenged. 2Repeat and retrieve.When you learn new information, you’re more likely to record that information if it’s repeated. Repeat what you hear out loud. ___3___ Write it down and read it aloud. But the work doesn’t stop there. You’ll need to try to retrieve the information without looking at it later. Testing yourself to retrieve the information is better than repeated studying.Drink water.Water acts as a shock absorber for the brain. 4 A small amount of dehydration(脱水) can have disastrous effects. Mild dehydration has been shown to cause brain shrinkage and memory damage. Aim for at least eight to ten glasses per day.5Another common mistake is relying on the GPS every time you drive. Researchers found relying on response techniques for navigation shrinks a part of our brain. Try to get to your destination using your brain. Perhaps use GPS to get there, but use your brain to get back home. Your brain will thank you for the extra challenge.A. Lose the GPS.B. Try using it in a sentence.C. Don’t turn to Google right away.D. It helps our brain cells use nutrients.E. Learning a new skill is an excellent way.F. Research shows that repetition is an ineffective learning tool.G. The following are some effective methods for improving memory.（C）British education provides a reliable pathway to the best universities in the world/ but what really defines British education?At its simplest, it can be seen as a curriculum(课程) that is common to most schools in England and Wales. 1 The National Curriculum leads to GCSE (at age 16) and A level examinations (at age 18). These are qualifications recognized by universities and employers around the world.2 Teachers in the UK tend to emphasize learning to think and to work things out for oneself over learning facts. Delivering interesting lessons is seen as an important part of the teacher's role, based on the precondition that we learn much better when we feel motivated.British education is also associated with activities that take place beyond the classroom. There’re various organized games, outdoor and extra course activities. 3Education in the UK is heavily infused(灌输) with liberal ideas and personal responsibili-ty.4 The curriculum references not only British culture but also many other cultures from around the world. Thoughtfulness and patience with others win high praise.British education is forward-looking and in constant evolution. 5 New methods often come into practice while the outdated and hard disciplines have fade into history, leaving behind softer traditions and customs.A. The National Curriculum is reviewed frequently.B. British education is widely recognized and admired.C. British education can also be seen as a way of teaching.D. Scotland, the third part of Great Britain, has its own curriculumE. The curriculum sets out specific learning objectives for every year group.F. Students often reflect on how their behavior affects the world around them.G. They are recognized to be valuable for learning life skills and building character.（D）A grateful heart is a satisfied heart. A satisfied heart is a simple heart which leads to a simplified life. Gratitude opens the door to simplicity. But we live in a culture that produces dissatisfaction.1Intentionally choose it. Gratitude will never be a result of your next success or accomplishment. 2_ And you will never find it in life until you intentionally decide tochoose it.Find gratitude in difficulty. 3 But it can be more difficult during the trials of life:the death, disease, or failure. The truth is that no one is exempt（获豁免的）from the sufferings. However, good can be found even in the worst of times. Being grateful during those difficulties may get you through them.Count your blessings. A new day, a warm bed, a unique personality, or a special talent.4 Gratitude quickly sets in when we begin to spend a quiet moment each day remembering them. This practice alone has the potential to change your heart and life immeasurably.5 Almost half the world live on less than $2.50 a day. 1.1 billion people have inadequate access to clean water. Let those facts sink in for just a moment and slowly allow gratitude to become part of the solution to take their place.In daily life we must see it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy.A. Open your eyes to those with less.B. Gratitude is available in your heart right now.C. Ignore what you don’t have.D. We can learn how to be grateful.E. You have wonderful things in your life already.F. It’s easy to be grateful when things are going well.G. How can we find gratitude in a world that seeks to destroy it?（E）Where you choose to stay can make or break your vacation experience.But even the most experienced travelers may not know the difference between the two main types of homes-away-from-home—hotels and motels. ___1___ The answer isn’t as simple as you’d think.These two types of lodging(住宿)have the same basic purpose—a place for travelers to sleep.___2___ For instance，they came to be for different reasons，and at very different times.The word“hotel”dates back to the 1600s and comes from a French word，hôtel.That word，justlike the English one.referred to a place that provides lodging，meals，entertainment，and other services to travelers. ___3___ This word dates back to the 1920s and combines the words“hotel”and“motor.”As America’s major highway system developed，so did motels，filling the need for roadside stops for motorists traveling cross-country.___4___ Hotels tend to be built for longer stays，while motels are intended more for one-or two-night stops along a journey.Because of this，hotels are much more likely to have offerings like lounges，gyms，and entertainment.___5___ Want the place you stay to be just as much a part of your travel experience as anything else? Choose a hotel，Just need a place to pop in and out of to shower and sleep? A motel might be the better choice.A. There are many secrets that hotels won’t tell you.B. But there are plenty of features that set them apart.C. Have you ever stayed in a motel on your vacation?D. Motels，on the other hand，are a much more recent lodging option.E. Besides their first letters，is there any real difference between them?F. So，in the end，it comes down to what you want from your trip and from your lodging.G. There are also other differences that can help you figure out which type of place you’re in.（F）Nowadays, people tend to take a selfie (自拍) wherever they are. However, not all of them can take a perfect selfie. ___1___So I am going to give you some tips on how to get a perfect one.Use Several Devices. Before you can even think about uploading a selfie on your social networking site, you need to decide which device to use in the first place. Although there are many devices you can use to take a selfie, the best one is a smart phone with a front and back camera. However, it doesn’t mean that your other devices can’t come in handy. ___2___In the end, all that matters is how well you practice and how to get the right shots.Catch Good Lighting and Background. To capture a classic selfie, you have to pay close attention to the lighting and background. If you’re taking a selfie indoors, you are supposed to face a window or door where natural light is shining right on your face. This really brightens up the picture.___3___Aim for Unconventional Shots. For a refreshing twist, try taking a selfie with your pet.___4___One great thing about selfie is that you don’t need to wait for the right time or place. You can instantly reach out for your camera, strike a pose, and get a rocking selfie.___5___Relax, enjoy and click — these are the three basic rules you need to follow. A selfie is not an activity where you need to follow some guidelines or set rules.A. Try to avoid the serious face.B. Pretend to be very happy all the time.C. Taking a selfie needs practice and skills.D. You remember to show your best smiles there.E. For an outdoor selfie, face the sun to make it work.F. You just have to understand how each of them works.G. It’s interesting to see what king of expression it will give.（G）From the time my kids were little I was determined to teach them the value of a dollar.1 If they didn’t do their chores,they didn’t get their allowance (零花钱).And if t hey didn’t have money,they couldn’t buy anything.It’s kind of like real life.There was only one problem — me.2And then,when they occasionally would want to buy something that they couldn’t quite afford,I would sometimes let them borrow from the next we ek’s allowance.But then I’d forget how much they’d borrowed and we’d end up arguing about just how much I owed them.3Obviously I’m not alone — both in wanting to teach my kids financial responsibility and in needing help.4Gregg Murset,a financial planner who has six kids of his own,created MyjobChart — a website that helps you keep track of the jobs your kids are doing and determine how much they’re owed.5My 22-year-old daughter recently explained how her emergency fund,built up by saving financial gifts and working during school,allowed her to live independently while continuing her education.So perhaps the thing to remember is that kids learn about handling money from their parents.Save,spend responsibly and try to explain why and they might just end up getting the message.A.In short,I was an unsuccessful banker.B.It is helpful in teaching my kids about money.C.I’d forget to check whether they’d completed their chores.D.So I set up the reward system and record their required chores.E.The kids can sign in and record when they’ve completed their work.F.So I gave them chores and an allowance when they were relatively young.G.Now some parents working on technologies have come up with ways to solve this problem.参考答案A.FAEBDB.GEBDAC.DCGFAD.GBFEAE.1:根据前一句，即使很多有经验的游客都不知道hotel和motel之间的区别，以及后一句不是你想象的那么简单，E选项，除了第一个字母之外，有没有其他的区别呢？承接上下文，开启文章，区别hotel和motel，故选E。

Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other digital records. Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species in an area, a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect.“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observation s of different species with the aid of a mobile application,” said Barnabas Daru, who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. “These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens(标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable?”Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns.“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias (使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it,” said Daru.Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only records did not lead to better global coverage. Moreover, these data are biased and favor certain regions, time periods, and species. This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby. These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-catching features.What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity?“Quite a lot,” Daru explained. “Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places – and even species – that are not w ell-sampled. To improve the quality of observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.”32. What do we know about the records of species collected now?A. They are becoming outdated.B. They are mostly in electronic form.C. They are limited in number.D. They are used for public exhibition.33. What does Daru’s study focus on?A. Threatened species.B. Physical specimens.C. Observational data.D. Mobile applications.34. What has led to the biases according to the study?A. Mistakes in data analysis.B. Poor quality of uploaded pictures.C. Improper way of sampling.D. Unreliable data collection devices.35. What is Daru’s suggestion for biodiversity apps?A. Review data from certain areas.B. Hire experts to check the records.C. Confirm the identity of the users.D. Give guidance to citizen scientists.二答案解析三专家评价考查关键能力，促进思维品质发展2024年高考英语全国卷继续加强内容和形式创新，优化试题设问角度和方式，增强试题的开放性和灵活性，引导学生进行独立思考和判断，培养逻辑思维能力、批判思维能力和创新思维能力。
专题47 医护人员-新高考英语阅读理解热点话题+体裁分类训练(高考模拟+名校真题)
新高考英语阅读理解热点话题+体裁分类训练(高考模拟+名校真题)专题47 医护人员（2022·河南·鹤壁高中模拟预测）As medical science develops rapidly with technologies, what is left for the doctor to do?For medical humanist Dr. Abraham Verghese, the answer is simple: Spend more time getting to know your patients as people. Take the time to read a poem and other literature. Do your part to bridge the gap between the two cultures of science and the humanities.It takes a doctor who knows a patient’s life history to make the best use of these tools, Verghese said. And that means having insight into human character.Verghese said machines “have gone beyond human beings in their capacity to care for the patient,” that is, in diagnosing illnesses and indicating the best treatment.But doctors can awaken the human spirit, the knowledge of human beings and their motivations, which can pull together a life picture of a patient and understand them as more than a collection of symptoms.Case history: A 64-year-old man admitted to the hospital after repeated falls, pains, and the loss of two teeth that just fell out, with no apparent cause. What was wrong? Was it his medicine? Was it alcohol abuse?The man rapidly improved after being hospitalized. It turned out he had “bachelor scurvy”, a disease among old men who lives alone, which results from a lack of nutrition.“He was surviving on no fruits or vegetables, just alcohol and processed meats, I would guess,” Verghese said. “My point here is that this diagnosis, as clever as it was, also might have been made much earlier had we had a good relationship with this patient and had some sense of who that person was, as an individual.”1．What should doctors do according to Verghese?A．Use machines less frequently.B．Know more about patients as people.C．Try to make an early diagnosis of patients.D．Keep up with the development of technology.2．What does Verghese think of medical equipment?A．It needs to be improved greatly.B．It will replace doctors sooner or later.C．It may give patients incorrect treatment.D．It is of great help in diagnosing illnesses.3．Which statement is NOT true about the 64-year-old man mentioned in the text?A．He lived on his own.B．He lived a healthy lifestyle.C．He suffered from a rare disease.D．He always ate processed meats.4．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To introduce some medical tools.B．To advise doctors to get to know patients better.C．To describe the development of medical science.D．To show the importance of machines in medical operations.（2021·四川射洪·二模）A Woman’s Touch Can Save St. Louis Lives!St. Louis is in danger unless you can help.

He was there to solve a medical mystery, at great personal risk. Over the past few months, an unknown disease had swept along the railways of northeast China, killing 99.9%of its victims. The Qing Imperial court had sent the Cambridge-educated Dr. Wu north to stop the epidemic (流行病).When Dr Wu arrived in Harbin on Christmas Eve, 1910, he carried little in the way of medical instruments and had only one assistant. One of Wu’s first acts upon arrival was to set up special quarantine (隔离) units and to order lockdowns to stop infected persons from traveling and spreading the disease. He had teams check households for possible cases, and even managed to convince authorities to completely close the railways in the early weeks of 1911. Of particular concern was the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday, which had become a great annual migration of people traveling across the country to see their families.Thanks to Dr. Wu’s efforts, the number of victims began to die down, and by March 1, 1911, the epidemic was fully contained. The pneumonic plague outbreak of 1910-1911 lasted nearly four months, affected five provinces and six major cities, and accounted for over 60,000 deaths. It is clear that without the brave and decisive actions taken by Dr. Wu, it could have been much worse. Had the epidemic gone unchecked, allowing holiday rail passengers to spread the disease to the rest of China could have meant a catastrophic loss of life and possibly a global health crisis.In April 1911, Dr. Wu chaired an International Plague Conference in Shenyang, attended byscientists from 11 counties including the United States, Great Britain, Russia, Japan and France. They praised Dr. Wu for his handling of the 1910-1911 outbreak. For a time, Dr. Wu was the world’s most famous plague fighter, a title be defended in a malaria epidemic in China in 1919, and a return of plague in 1921.8．What was Dr Wu’s mission in 1910?A．To take personal risk.B．To provide medical education.C．To end an epidemic.D．To investigate the number of victims. 9．Which of Dr Wu’s acts stopped the disease from spreading nationwide?A．Setting up special organizations.B．Convincing authorities to close railways. C．Carrying with him medical instruments.D．Checking households for possible cases. 10．What can we infer from the third paragraph?A．The disease worsened after Mach 1,1911.B．The world was saved from a major epidemic in 1911.C．60,000 people would have died without Dr. Wu’s efforts.D．A global health crisis followed the 1910-1911 outbreak.11．What can we know about Dr. Wu from the last paragraph?A．He was infected with malaria in 1919.B．He travelled worldwide hosting conferences.C．He claimed epidemic would never happen again.D．He continued to fight epidemics in China after 1911.（2021·江苏·南京外国语学校模拟预测）Knotting his brows at some medical reports, one old man sensed a potential danger. On that day, 59 citizens in Wuhan had caught pneumonia (肺炎) of unknown etiology. The phenomenon reminded him of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak that had spread across China 17 years ago. It was he who had come up with an effective treatment for SARS.China’s most respectable epidemiologist (流行病学家), 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan, is widely known to the public as the hero who defeated SARS. After a lifetime researching respiratory diseases, he was keenly aware that the new pneumonia may not be a simple disease, but a Pandora’s box that could engulf the world.Zhong grew up in a family of doctors, and lives by a simple motto: save lives and always behonest. In 2003, when SARS spread across China, he volunteered to treat patients, staying in hospital wards for weeks on end to study the disease. At the same time, he also spent countless nights in his lab looking for a cure for the deadly disease. His efforts paid off. Months later, his treatment plan for SARS was adopted by China and then the whole world, saving thousands of lives.Zhong is also known for an incident. When authorities announced that the virus had been brought under control, he publicly criticized the assessment, deciding instead to tell the public the truth. In one post-SARS interview, he said: “I couldn’t help myself. I said it’s not all under control.” His virtue (美德) won widespread praise from the Chinese public, who hailed him as a hero.Seventeen years later, the old man is once again leading a team in a battle. Although this new virus is known to be particularly dangerous to the elderly, Zhong paid little attention to his own safety. On January 29, he and his colleagues spent over six hours on an online medical inquiry, checking five patients who were in critical condition.“The hospitals are our battlefield, and doctors and nurses are warriors. When we are needed, we should charge forward, because this is our duty!” said Zhong.As well as treating the patients, Zhong is also a messenger who delivers factual updates of COVID-19 to the public. Being unfamiliar with social medical platforms, he has asked colleagues to help him make videos aimed at calming fears about the virus and teaching the public how to prevent the disease, such as how to wash hands or wear a mask correctly.While praised as hero, Zhong told the media that Wuhan, the center of China’s COVID-19 outbreak and where tens of thousands of citizens have been confined to their homes for weeks to prevent the spread of the disease, also deserves that honor.12．What does the underlined word “engulf” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Sweep over.B．Get over.C．Take over.D．Pull over.13．What does the third and fourth paragraph mainly want to tell us?A．Zhong didn’t hesitate to voice the truth.B．Zhong is a virtuous and honest doctor.C．Zhong’s honesty was highly praised in China.D．Zhong and his team worked on end in the lab.14．According to the passage, Zhong has done the following EXCEPT___________. A．educating people on COVID-19 preventionB．making great contributions to SARS treatmentC．giving a daily check on COVID-19 patientsD．inspiring doctors and nurses to charge forward like warriors15．What does Zhong think of Wuhan?A．A Pandora’s box.B．A city of heroes.C．A place full of secrets.D．A window for observation.（2020·山东省济钢高级中学一模）As a first responder, you never know what type of situation you might walk into, or who you’ll meet along the way. That’s definitely been the case for Jeffrey Lanenberg, a 51-year-old paramedic(急救医务人员) since 1984.Ten years into the job, Lanenberg received a call that reported that a man in his early 30s had fallen down in the Mall of America. When Lanenberg and his partner arrived at the scene, they found the young male face down on the ground. He had gone unconscious, making weak attempts to breathe. His wife stood beside him holding their small son in horror. They quickly rushed to defibrillate(除颤) and calm the man to keep him under control. After Lanenberg dropped the patient off at the neighboring hospital, he thought about the man and his family for a long time.Lanenberg thought he had experienced everything under the sun until one random visit to Office Max three years ago, where he met a man repeatedly walk back and forth while staring at him. As it turned out, the man was the patient he had saved 20 years earlier.＂You gave me 20 years more than I ever thought I’d have,＂the man said. He thanked Lanenberg repeatedly and told him he had someone he wanted him to meet. He stepped around the corner and reappeared with a 20-something-year-old man. Lanenberg instantly knew that it was the son he had seen standing by his mother all those years ago.＂That day changed my life,＂Lanenberg said. ＂Before that, everything was about work…When I talk to my beginner-training class, I tell them you never know the impact you can have on someone’s life.＂16．What did Lanenberg do with the young man?A．He gave the man the first aid.B．He cured the man at the scene.C．He only sent the man to hospital.D．He took care of the man’s wife and son. 17．What did Lanenberg think of the encounter with the man?A．It was unbelievable.B．It was a common routine.C．It was a matter of course.D．It was a dangerous situation.18．Why was the man thankful to Lanenberg?A．Lanenberg helped bring up his little son.B．Lanenberg donated to support his family.C．Lanenberg gave him the present happy life.D．Lanenberg taught his son to be a new doctor.19．How did the meeting change Lanenberg’s life?A．He changed his attitude to his job.B．He was rewarded with much money.C．He got a promotion to be a team leader.D．He took up teaching work to train newcomers.（2020·陕西·西安中学二模）After the cure of pneumonia, Wuhan Dad reread the letter his daughter left at the bedside, tears filled his eyes. In the second vlog series, make a video call to a friend in Wuhan, China Daily reporter Xiao Peng interviewed three Wuhan residents by video and phone, among whom three have just been released from isolation. Their lives have been transformed by pneumonia (肺炎) caused by the new coronavirus (冠状病毒).The first interviewee was Tian Fuxin from Wuhan. He was admitted to hospital on January 20 and discharged from hospital on January 30 after 10 days of isolation treatment.“When I was admitted to hospital, I was very anxious. But after a few days I was OK. And if you’re infected by the novel coronavirus, the government covers your medical expenses. Our meals are the same as the doctors’ and nurses’”.“Every time I saw them in their protective gear, I felt moved because I know that stuff must be awful to wear, with goggles fogged up and so on. I can’t thank them enough. Those patients who were discharged early like us are very grateful to the people who helped us, because without them, it’s hard to say how we could have survived.”Worried about his daughter’s safety, the family had her back to the university in Shanghai before the closure. She was quarantined in Shanghai on the first day of the lunar New Year and was recently confirmed to be well enough to end the quarantine. The daughter left her father a letter in which she read between the lines her guilt not being able to accompany him and her love for him.“I can’t look after you every time you are in hospital. I was right with you, though I didn’t realize how ill you were. Nothing could be done except get away.” “Dad, I love you. After growing up, I think I’ve never said that. You must hold on. I can’t live without you, Dad.” “Don’t be pessimistic. Little psychological tricks are helpful. You have to tell yourself I am feeling better.”Because of infectious virus as well as its outbreak Tian Fuxin fell ill, experiencing a period of fighting the disease. However, he received the words his daughter had not long been able to speak out “Dad, I love you.”20．Whom does the underlined word “them” in the fourth paragraph refer to?A．Wuhan residents B．medical staffC．the three interviewees D．the government21．Which of the following is FALSE?A．The daughter couldn’t care for her father when he was in hospital.B．The meals of the pneumonia patients are quite different from those of doctors. C．daughter was also isolated in Shanghai on the first day of the lunar New Year.D．Tian Fuxin has been cured and has recovered from pneumonia.22．The daughter left the letter to ________.A．show little psychological tricks are helpfulB．inform him her being quarantined in ShanghaiC．encourage him to fight disease and she loved him all the way.D．to say goodbye to the father.23．The article comes from ________.A．a magazine B．a fiction C．a brochure D．a newspaper （2020·浙江东阳·三模）If you’ve ever taken a handwritten prescription(处方) from a doctor, it seems that you can never make sense of the letters. Bad handwriting almost seems like arequirement for graduating medical school.However, it’s not like only people with bad handwriting are attracted to the medical field. Ruth Brocato, MD, primary care doctor with Mercy Medical Center says she went from winning a handwriting award in grade school to having totally unreadable handwriting now. So why?For one thing, doctors have to write more than just about any other job. Long days plus tons of writing equals a very tired hand. Most doctors’ handwriting gets worse over the course of the day as those small hand muscles get overworked, says Asher Goldstein, MD, pain management doctor with Genesis Pain Centers. If doctors could spend an hour with every patient, they might be able to slow down and give their hands a rest. But the fact is, most physicians are rushing around to the next patient. With so many patients to see in a limited time, doctors are more concerned with getting the information down than perfecting their handwriting.The jargon (术语) that doctors deal with also lends itself to bad handwriting. For instance, QD is shorthand for a Latin phrase meaning “one a day” and TID means “three times a day.” Your pharmacist would know exactly what your doctor meant, but you’d probably just write it off as chicken scratch.Now, doctors are moving toward electronic medical records to cut down on errors. No studies have looked into whether the yearly death rate from wrong prescriptions has gone down, but doctors agree there’s less chance for errors.Of course, typing everything isn’t perfect either. There’s still the possibility of entering, say, 30 instead of 300. While we’re all for electronic medical records, we’ll write by hand whenever we can. Now, learn about these secrets hospitals don’t want to tell you—but every patient should know.24．How many reasons are mentioned in the passage to explain why doctors are likely to have bad handwriting?A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four25．Which of the following statements is true?A．Only people with bad handwriting are attracted to the medical field.B．Most doctors’ handwriting gets better over the course of the day.C．QD is shorthand for a Latin phrase meaning “three times as day”.D．There is less chance for errors by using electronic medical records.26．What’s the author’s attitude towards handwritten prescriptions?A．Supportive.B．Disapproving.C．Indifferent.D．Concerned.27．What’s the best title for the passage?A．No time left for doctors to write well.B．Secrets that hospitals don’t want to tell you.C．Reasons why most doctors have bad handwriting.D．Errors reduced by using electronic medical records.（2020·江苏南京·三模）In 2010, after six years of training and further six years on the wards, I resigned from my job as a junior doctor. My parents still haven’t forgiven me.Last year, the General Medical Council wrote to me to say they were taking my name off the medical register. It wasn’t exactly a huge shock, as I hadn’t practiced medicine in half a decade.It was, however, excellent news for my spare room, as I cleared out box after box of old paperwork, tearing files up fast. One thing I did rescue from the jaws of death was my training portfolio (档案袋). All doctors are recommended to log their clinical experience, in what’s known as reflective practice. On looking through this portfolio for the first time in years, my reflective practice seemed to involve going up to my hospital on-call room and writing down anything remotely interesting that had happened that day.Among the funny and the dull, I was reminded of the long hours and the huge impact being a. junior doctor had on my life. Reading back, it felt extreme and unreasonable in terms of what was expected of me, but at the time I’d just accepted it as part of the job. There were points where I wouldn’t have stepped back if an entry read “had to eat a helicopter today”.Around the same time that I was reliving all this through my diaries, junior doctors in the here and now were coming under fire from politicians. I couldn’t help but feel doctors were struggling to get their side of the story across (probably because they were at work the whole time) and it struck me that the public weren’t hearing the truth about what it actually means to be a doctor. Rather than shrugging my shoulders and ignoring the evidence, I decided I had to do something to redress the balance.So here they are: the diaries I kept during my time in the NHS, verruca’s and all. What it’slike working on the front line, the consequences in my personal life, and how, one terrible day, it all became too much for me. (Sorry for the spoiler of my book beforehand, but you still watched Titanic knowing how that was going to play out.)Along the way, I’ll help you out with the medical terminology and provide a bit of context about what each job involved. Unlike being a junior doctor, I won’t just drop you in the deep end and expect you to know exactly what you’re doing.28．Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph 2?A．But I found it a hard job to pick up my practice of medicine.B．But I found it an easy task to turn over a new leaf in the long term.C．But I found it a simple act to get involved in self-reflection as a junior doctor.D．But I found it a big deal on an emotional level to permanently close this chapter of my life.29．The author cleared out box after box of old paperwork so fast because .A．he was disappointed at being dismissed from the NHSB．being removed from his position served his purposeC．being rescued from the jaws of death discouraged himD．he had promised to keep his patients' personal information secret30．The phrase “had to eat a helicopter today” in Paragraph 4 indicates that a junior doctor has to .A．work hard for promotion B．equip himself with practical skills C．look through all the portfolios D．live up to some extreme expectations 31．Which of the following best explains “redress the balance” underlined in Paragraph 5? A．Argue with politicians.B．Tell the full story of doctors.C．Collect more solid evidence.D．Win the support of the public.32．What does the author intend to do by writing this article?A．Reveal what it means to be a junior doctor.B．Inform readers of some medical knowledge.C．Give some background information on a book.D．Encourage more people to practice medicine.33．What attitude does the author hold towards the NHS?A．Critical.B．AppreciativeC．Ambiguous.D．Doubtful.参考答案：1．B2．D3．B4．B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

2022届高三英语阅读专题新编训练之说明文(含答案及部分解析)
2022高三英语阅读专题训练之说明文（A）The third-generation hybrid rice which was developed by Yuan Longping, the "father of hybrid rice", and his team ran its first public yield monitoring from Monday to Tuesday and achieved high output. The final yield of the tested variety, G3-1S/P19, came to1046.3 kg per mu （about 667 square meters）, based on two pieces of land in Qingzhu Village under the city of Hengyang in central China's Hunan Province."Some previous high-yielding hybrid rice varieties in China took 160 to even 180 days from sowing to harvesting, while the figure was shortened to around 125 days for the new variety. This is one of the most important features of the third-generation hybrid rice that can reduce the use of pesticides（X虫剂）and fertilizers, thus reducing cost and improving production efficiency." said Qian Qian, the deputy director of the China National Rice Research Institute.Unlike the previous two generations that required a large amount of water and fertilizers as well as demanding growing conditions and technological support, the third-generation hybrid rice is easier to be cultivated（种植）by ordinary farmers. So the soil, altitude and climate of the test site were not "ideal conditions" carefully selected beforehand but were close to the paddies（稻田）of ordinary farmers.Nowadays. China's average yield of rice is about 500 kg per mu. Ordinary farmers can produce 600 kg to 700 kg of rice per mu by growing some excellent second-generation hybrid rice varieties. However, under the same planting conditions and environment, the yield of the third-generation hybrid rice could reach 800 kg per mu. China now feeds around 20 percent of the world's population with less than 9 percent of the world's arable（可耕种的）land.At present, Yuan's team has nine third-generation hybrid rice combinations under trial, which are expected to achieve commercial seed production in the following three to four years and hope to apply the technology into the research of sea rice. The third-generation hybrid rice has the comprehensive strength to promote a greener and more sustainable development of China's rice production with higher quality and yield.1．What feature of the new hybrid rice does Qian Qian mainly talk about?A．It saves a lot more water. B．It has a shorter growing period.C．It saves much more farmland. D．It achieves a higher yield.2．Why is the new hybrid rice not tested in ideal areas?A．The ordinary farmers master planting technology.B．The researchers want to reduce the experiment cost.C．The growing conditions the new hybrid rice needs are simple.D．The previous rice farming provides researchers with experience.3．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A．The high output of the third-generation hybrid rice.B．The future of the new hybrid rice variety.C．The advanced technology of the research on hybrid rice.D．The differences between the three hybrid rice varieties.4．Where is this text most likely from?A．A news report. B．A guide book.C．An advertisement. D．A fashion magazine.（B）The snow in Antarctica is turning green and scientists say climate change may be to blame. According to a study at the Cambridge University, microscopic algae blooms (藻类爆发) across the surface of the snow is slowly turning Antarctica’s winter white landscape green. Although microscopic, scientis ts say they’re able to see the “green snow” from space when the algae blooms all together.Researchers created a large-scale map of green snow algae along the Antarctic coast using a combination of satellite data and on-the-ground observations over the course of two summers. The study found that the green snow algae bloomed in warmer areas where the average temperatures are just above 0℃during the southern hemisphere’s (半球的) summer months from November to February.“As Antarctica warms, we predict the overall mass of snow algae will increase,” said Dr Andrew Gray, lead author of the paper, and a researcher. Researchers say larger blooms of algae can be found north of the Antarctic and South Shetland Islands, where it can spread to higher ground as the snow melts.The team also discovered some sea birds and mammals influenced the distribution of algae. Over 60% of algae blooms were found within three miles of a penguin settlement. Scientists hypothesize this may be due to their droppings which act as a “highly nutritious fertilizer.”“This is a significant advance in our understanding of land-based life on Antarctica, and how it might change in the coming years as the climate warms,” said Dr. Matt Davey in the University of Cambridge’s Department of Plant Scie nces, who led the study.1.What is turning the Antarctic snow green?A. The melting of snow.B. The blooming algae.C. The beautiful landscape.D. The balanced temperature.2.Where is microscopic algae most likely to bloom in Antarctica?A. North of the Antarctic.B. West of the South Pole.C. South of the Antarctic.D. Around the southern hemisphere.3. What does the underlined word “hypothesize” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Confirm.B. Support.C. Assume.D. Warn.4. What can we learn from the text?A. Penguins feed on microscopic algae.B. Antarctic algae grow under the snow.C. Ground observation lasted for four months.D. Animal droppings contribute to the algae blooms.（C）It is generally supped that the English Romantic Movement began in 1798. However it is not a sudden outbreak but the result of long and gradual growth and development. The Ro-manticism is a literary movement which took place in Britain and throughout Europe between 1770 and 1848. Polit ically, “was inspired by the revolutions in America and France. Emo-tionally, it expressed an extreme claim of the self and the value of the individual experience to-gether with the sense of the limitless and the transcendental(超验的). In Britain, Romantic writers of the first generation included Wordsworth and Coleridge, Blake and Burns. The sec-ond generation of British Romantics—Byron, Shelley and Keats absorbed these influences, wrote quickly, travelled widely and their life stories and letters became almost as important for Romanticism as their poetry.Romanticism does not mean one thing or one characteristic. It is, in fact, a collective term to mean certain characteristics? such as mysticism, humanism, super naturalism? love of beauty, love of nature, love of equality. The chief characteristics of romantic poetry are as the following：Subjectivity：All romantic literature is subjective. It is an expression of the inner urges of the soul of the artist The poet gives free expression to his feelings, emotions, experiences, thoughts and ideas and. does not care for rules and regulations. The emphasis is laid on inspiration and intuition(直觉).Love of Nature: Enthusiasm for the beauties of the external world characterizes all romantic poetry. Romantic poetry carries us away from the uncomfortable atmosphere of cities into the fresh company of the outdoor world. All poets were lovers of nature and looked at the beautiful aspects of nature. To them, nature was a friend, a lover, a mother, sister and a teacher.Imagination and Emotion：The romantic poets laid emphasis on imagination and emotion. The Wordsworth's romantic poem I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud deals with subjects of creative imagination, childhood memories, beauty of nature, the role of nature as a guiding spirit.1. What can we know about the English Romantic Movement?A. It emphasized the value of policies.B. It originated at the end of 18th century.C. It was affected by the Russian revolution.D. It was caused by sudden growth and development.2. What does Romanticism show?A. It hides the inner desires of poets.B. It focuses on inspiration and reality.C. It is controlled by rules and regulations.D. It is a term involving some certain features.3. What does romantic poetry play a role in?A. Making us always be enthusiastic.B. Showing us another way to read novels.C. Keeping us enjoying the company of nature.D. Asking us to respect city atmosphere.4. How does the author explain the feature of Imagination and Emotion?A. By giving an example.B. By using a quotation.C. By asking a question.D. By making a comparison.（D）The scientists who re-engineered the plastic-eating enzyme(酶) PETase have now created a new enzyme called “cocktail” , which can digest plastic up to six ti mes faster.PETase breaks down PET back into its building blocks, creating an opportunity to recycle plastic and reduce plastic pollution. PET is the most common thermoplastic(热塑性塑料) used to make single-use drinks bottles, which takes hundreds of years to break down in the environment, but PETase can shorten this time to days. The initial discovery set up the prospect of a revolution in plastic recycling, creating a potential low-energy solution to tackle plastic waste.Now, the same trans-Atlantic team hav e combined PETase and its “partner”, a second enzyme called MHETase, to generate much bigger improvements: simply mixing PETase with MHETase doubled the speed of PET breakdown, and engineering a connection between the two enzymes to create a “super-enzyme”, increased this activity by a further three times.The team was co-led by the scientists who engineered PETase, Professor John McGeehan and Dr Gregg Beckham. Professor McGeehan said: “Gregg and I were chatting about how PETase attacks the surface of the plastics and MHETase chops things up further, so it seemed natural to see if we could use them together. Our first experiments showed that they did work better together, so we decided to physically link them. It took a great deal of work, but it was worth the effort —we were delighted to see that our new enzyme is up to three times faster than the separate enzymes.”The original PETase enzyme discovery indicated the first hope that a solution to the global plastic pollution problem might be within grasp, though PETase alone is not yet fast enough to handle the tons of PET bottles. Combining it with a second enzyme, and finding together they work even faster, means another leap forward has been taken towards finding a solution to plastic waste. PETase and the new combined MHETase-PETase both work by digesting PET plastic. This allowsfor plastics to be made and reused endlessly, reducing our reliance on fossil(化石) resources.1. What can we learn about “cocktail” from the text?A. It doubles the breakdown of plastics.B. It takes hundreds of years to break down.C. It contributes to breaking down plastic quickly.D. It deals with the plastic waste three times faster.2. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. A new study of PET.B. The breakdown of PET.C. The discovery of PETase.D. The functions of PETase.3. What d oes the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Co-leading the trans-Atlantic team.B. Combining PETase and MHETase.C. Attacking the surface of the plastics.D. Talking about conducting experiments.4. What can we infer from the text?A. PET pollution is no longer a difficult problem to deal with.B. New enzyme is speeding up our reliance on fossil resources.C. MHETase-PETase makes the world free from plastic pollution.D. Plastic-eating enzyme “cocktail” promises new hope for plastic waste.（E）In a new blog post for the International Monetary Fund, four researchers presented their findings from a working paper that examines the current relationship between finance and tech as well as its potential future.Gazing into their crystal ball, the researchers see the possibility of using the data from your browsing, search, and purchase history to create a more accurate mechanism for determining the credit rating of an individual or business. They believe that this approach could result in greater lending to borrowers who would potentially be denied by traditional financial institutions.At its heart, the paper is trying to wrestle with the dawning notion that the institutional banking system is facing a serious threat from tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Apple. The researchers identify two key areas in which this is true: Tech companies have greater access to soft-information, and messaging platforms can take the place of the physical locations that banks rely on for meeting with customers.The concept of using your web history to inform credit ratings is framed around the notion that lenders rely on hard-data that might hide the worthiness of a borrower or paint an unnecessarily bad picture during hard times. Citing soft-data points like "the type of browser and hardware used to access the internet, the history of online searches and purchases" that could be included in evaluating a borrower, the researchers believe that when a lender has a closer relationship with the potential client's history, they might be more willing to cut them some slack."Banks tend to cushion credit terms for their long-term customers during downturns," the paper's authors write. This is because they have a history and relationship with the customer.The researchers acknowledge that there will be privacy and policy concerns related to including this kind of soft-data in credit analysis. Getting the soft-data points would probably require companies like Facebook and Apple to loosen up their standards on linking unencrypted information with individual accounts. How they might share information with other institutions would be its own can of worms.1. What is the approach put forward by the researchers?A. Replacing banks with soft information.B. Lending money by predicting the future.C. Determining credit ratings by web history.D. Facing the threat posed by high-tech companies.2. Why do they advocate the new way of rating the borrower’s credit?A. Traditional finance refuse to lend money.B. The new approach helps reduce burden on banks.C. The type of hardware misleads the lender’s judgement.D. Soft information better reflects the truth than hard data.3. Which is the closest in meaning with the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4?A. Be less strict.B. Share interests.C. Forgive others’ fault.D. Cut a piece of bread.4. What do the researchers worry about?A. Banks will break up with customers.B. High tech companies will be in a mess.C. Sharing information may cause problems of privacy.D. Competition between tech companies will be more fierce.（F）At your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds —nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all. It’s already a failure to understand each other by s peaking because you’re repairing that failure by using words.In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial (殖民地) America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, it’s hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and there’s understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.In contrast, when there’s more homogeneity, perhaps it’s easier for some kinds of silen ce to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re l ess well acquainted with.1. Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?A. The Dutch.B. Americans.C. The English.D. The Japanese.2. What might the Japanese agree with in a conversation?A. Speaking more gives the upper hand.B. Speak out what you have in your mind.C. Great minds think alike without words.D. The shorter talking silence, the better.3. What can we learn from the text?A. A four second silence in conversation is universal.B. It’s hard for Americans to reach a common agreement.C. English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers.D. The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears.4. What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean?A Similarity. B. Contradiction.C. Diversity.D.

My friend Rosemary was driving home last night when her car broke down suddenly. Luckily, she found a car insurance bill and called the insurance company with her very old mobile phone. "I need the long number on the front of your bill," said the lady of the insurance company. However, Rosemary didn't take her glasses and couldn't read her bill in the dark with her poor sight.Fortunately, an elderly man with his little dog stopped to help her. "Wait a moment," Rosemary said to the lady. "A gentleman has offered to help me. He'll read it." "No, no!" shouted (he shocked lady. "Do not show your bill number to a stranger!" But Rosemary had no choice. So she let the stranger read out the numbers, and she spelled out her unusual family name. Because of the man's unclear voice, the accent differences between the man and the lady, and Rosemary's bad sight and hearing, communication was difficult.Finally, the lady asked Rosemary what street they were in. Again, they had no idea. So Rosemary had to stop a passing youth. Experiencing more spelling of street names and confusion, everyone got a bit angry. At last, the rescuers could be sent to help Rosemary with her car.Rosemary's situation kept her going through the similar sufferings. In fact, all of this also goes to show why some older people are not happy with the development of technology. They need their cards, smart phones, glasses and patience before they dare go out. Otherwise, they maybe can't get the service needed. So some are thinking: why bother going out? They can do all things online: shopping, ordering food, and receiving medical advice. They can just stay at home alone forever and make nobody mad.But don't worry. Although it may take you quite a while (o get the service you want, there are always kind people around you, just like the passers-by for Rosemary. They arc all willing to give you a helping hand.

In the letter the young man said the food in their military camp was very bad and he wished the general could go to find out the reasons, the old man went there at once,without telling anybody. He went in the kitchen and examined everything carefully and found it was very dirty. Then he went in the soldiers' bedrooms and found there were a lot of fleas. He became angry and asked the soldiers, "What do you think of your food, young men?"The soldiers saw their officer standing by the general and said nothing. Only a new soldier said, "Very bad, sir!""What did you have for lunch today?" asked Mr Parker."A fried chicken, sonic fish and pork, a cake, six eggs and I had three cups of wine.""Really?" Mr Parker called out in surprise. "ICs the King's lunch, I think!""So do I, General," said the young man. "But it's my birthday today.

They were to be allowed to celebrate the Fourth of July, the glorious day, by the blowing of horns exactly al sunrise. But they were to blow them for precisely five minutes only, and no sound of the horns should be heard afterward till the family were downstairs. It was thought that a peace might thus be brought by a short, though crowded, period of noise.The morning came. Even before the morning, at half-past three o'clock, a terrible blast of the horns aroused the whole family.The number of the horns was most remarkable! It was as though every cow in the place had arisen and was blowing through both her own horns! "How many little boys are there? How many have we?" exclaimed Mr. Pcterkin, going over their names one by one mechanically thinking he would do it, as he might count imaginary sheep jumping over a fence, to put himself to sleep. The counting could not put him to sleep now, in such a loud noise.And how unexpectedly long the five minutes seemed! Elizabeth Eliza was to take out her watch and give the signal for the end of the five minutes, and the ceasing of the horns. Why did not the signal come? Why did not Elizabeth Eliza slop them?And certainly it was long before sunrise; there was no dawn to be seen! "Wc'U not try (his plan again," said Mrs. Peterkin. "If we live to another Fourth," added Mr. Peterkin, hurrying to the door to inquire into the state of affairs.Alas! Amanda, by mistake, had waked up the little boys an hour too early. And by another mistake the little boys had invited three or four of their friends to spend the night with them. Mrs. Peterkin had given them permission to have the boys for the whole day, and they understood the day as beginning when they went to bed the night before. This accounted for the number of horns.It would have been impossible to hear any explanation; but the five minutes were over, and the horns had ceased, and there remained only (he noise of a singular leaping of feet, explained perhaps by a possible pillow-fight, that kept the family below partially awake until the bells and cannon made known the drowning of the glorious day, the sunrise, or "the rising of the sons," as Mr. Peterkin jokingly called it when they heard the little boys and their friends clattering down the stairs to begin the outside festivities.35.According to the passage, which event happened first?A.Mr. Peterkin noted how many boys there were.B.The Peterkins were awakened by the boys.C.Elizabeth gave the signal to slop the honis.D.Mr. Peterkin exclaimed how many boys they had.36.What did the 7th paragraph talk about?A.The place where the boys blew their horns.B.The lime when Elizabeth Eliza stopped them.C.Thc way how the boys blew their horns.D.The reason why more horns were over there.37.The probable main idea of this passage is that _____ .A.the little boys didn't carry out the agreement thoroughly.B.the little boys didn't see the signal to stop blowing their horns.C.the little boys blew homs to greet the dawn of July 4th so early.D.the Peterkins enjoyed children's blowing of the homs on July 4th.38.Which question is not answered in the story?A.When did the horn blowing begin?B.How long ago did the custom start?C.Why did the boys blow the horns in the morning?D.How did the Peterkins feel about the horn blowing?Glastonbury FestivalTime and place: 22nd——26th June, Pilton, Somcrse.

Week One 时事新闻一、阅读理解（共16小题；共32.0分）AA gunman killed 26 people, including 20 young children, at a US school where his mother worked Friday morning in one of the worst school shootings in the country's history. Pupils who were rushed from the building through the terrible scene by police were told to close their eyes.A police officer said the suspect, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, was dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and he was the son of a teacher at the school. The mother, Nancy Lanza, was found dead at home.The attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School, just two weeks before Christmas, was the latest of several mass shootings in the US in the year of 2022, and it approached the deadly scope of the Virginia Tech university shooting in 2007 that left 32 dead.This time, many who were killed were young children. Photos from the scene showed students, some of them crying, being escorted by adults through a parking lot in a line, hands on each other's shoulders. Children told their parents they had heard bangs and, at one point, a scream over the intercom(内部通话装置).State police said 18 children were found dead at the school and two later were declared dead, and six adults were found dead at the scene. They said the shootings occurred in one section of the school but did not give details.Police said another person was found dead at a second scene—someone who lived with the gunman died."Our hearts are broken today," President Barack Obama said. He said the children killed were 5 to 10 years old. He said the nation had been "through this too many times" with recent mass shootings and has to come together to take meaningful action.1. How many people were killed in the accident altogether?A. 20.B. 26.C. 28.D. 32.2. Why did the police ask the pupils to close their eyes?A. Because the scene would frighten them.B. Because the police didn't want them to rush.C. Because their eyes would be hurt by the light.D. Because they wanted to give the pupils some training.3. From the third paragraph we can infer that .A. shooting seldom occurred in elementary schoolsB. mass shootings usually happened in universitiesC. several mass shootings took place in 2022D. this was the first school shooting since 20074. Who do you think was the person found dead at a second scene?A. The headmaster.B. Nancy Lanza.C. Adam Lanza.D. Another pupil.BThe man in the picture has his back to the camera. He's desperately(无望地) climbing up a subway platform, looking right at the train that's running down on him as he stands on the tracks.It's a terrifying, heart-wrenching(令人揪心的) photo, and it's arising a lot of criticism for the newspaper that used it on its front page—New York Post.Why didn't the photographer help? Why did the newspaper publish the photo?A photographer took the photo Monday after someone pushed the man, 58-year-old Ki-Suck Han, from a subway platform near Times Square. Seconds after photographer R. Umar Abbasi took the pictures, the train struck Ki. He died at a New York Hospital, leaving behind his wife and daughter."Doomed(命中注定)," the headline(标题) read. "Pushed on the subway track, this man is about to die."In its story on the incident Tuesday, the Post reported Abbasi was waiting on the platform when he saw the man fall onto the tracks. He said he ran towards the oncoming train, firing his camera's flash to warn the driver."I just started running, running, hoping that the driver could see my flash," the newspaper quoted him as saying. "In that moment, I just wanted to warn the train—to try and save a life."Some critics, however, questioned Abbasi's motives.One man questioned why someone's first instinct(本能) would be not to help the man, but instead to "snap a photo of him about to die and sell it to the NY Post".The Post declined to comment. Media observers wondered Tuesday if the newspaper had gone too far this time.5. What is the passage mainly about?A. A terrifying subway accident reported in New York Post.B. How a photographer took the terrifying photo.C. A photo causing criticism for New York Post.D. Photos used on the front page of New York Post.6.

"All four of the other Canadian cities that are on the ranking don't have the kind of climate it has, so clearly that's a factor to consider."Of all the Canadian cities ranked in the top 35 cities in the world, Calgary advanced one ranking and Montreal dropped by one ranking."We score quite high," said Rodriguez, market business leader for Mercer Canada in Toronto.Consulting firm Mercer looked at 39 factors such as a city's political and social environment and its economic and socio-cultural environment, areas in which Canada scored quite well.The firm also looked at medical and health care, education and access to schools, public transportation, housing and consumer goods, as well as climate."Vienna scores high on a number of those areas."

The four-minute film is for anyone who might be viewing it on 22 December, the day after the world is supposed to have ended. "If you are watching this video it means one thing, the world didn't end yesterday," the opening narration(叙述) says.Michael Brody, the man who produced the video, said they released the film early to generate interest around the subject. "We wanted to show people that NASA's sure that the world will not be ending on December 22nd," said Brody. "There is a lot of science and archaeological(考古学的) research that has been done on the subject and we wanted to be able to convey(传达) it in a way that was easily known by the general public, that people would really be able to understand," he continued.The video, produced as part of NASA's ScienceCast series, also discounts(漠视) the role that the sun might play in any doomsday event."So suppose there was an active region starting from the far side of the sun. It takes about 27 days for such a region to come to the front. And its only storms that are happening on the front will have an effect on earth," said Dr. Guhathakurta, a NASA scientist."But we will know that, kind of right away. And we can begin to warn people. This has gone on for billions of years, and our civilisation hasn't been destroyed once."The Mayans measured time using their knowledge of mathematics and astronomy. They had two calendars, one for astronomy that lasted 365 days. The other calendar is for agriculture, called Tzolkin, with 260 days. To read a date, the Mayans used a complex system where both calendars were combined to reach a final result.13.

Ⅰ.阅读理解AIn the tiny village of Angelica，New York，the post office is more than a place to get mail or send packages.There you'll find the heart of this lovely community.It's where villagers meet and greet friends.When Angelica's post office was threatened with being closed in the 1980s，a villager，Pat，came up with a plan to save it.“At Christmas time I would hear on the news about towns named Snow or Bethlehem having celebrations，”says Pat.“Why couldn't we do the same thing with Angelica？”Pat，who is an artist，created a postal cancellation(邮戳)design featuring an Angelica angel.She drew her angels in a traditional fashion and submitted her suggestion to the U．S.Postal Service.Once approved，the drawing was carved into a stamp cancellation that could be used for one day only.The postmistress(女邮局局长) then had another idea to make the day even more special—calling the post office Angel Station.The large increase in mail amount saved Angelica's post office from being closed and keeps the doors open today.Now it's tradition that on the first Friday in December，people come to Angelica to mail their Christmas cards.Each year the amount of mail going through the Angelica Post Office increases during late November and early December.Stamp collectors from around the world have accepted the Angel Station cancellation，some sending mail from as far away as France.Because the stamp is destroyed each season，Pat draws a new angel that conveys season's greetings from Angel Station every year.Post offices may close in other parts of the country，but this tiny one continues.[语篇解读]纽约的一个小村庄Angelica的邮局即将被迫关闭，艺术家Pat提出新的想法，女邮局局长也给邮局更换了名字，从而使邮局正常运营下去。

Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file. " He left the room and went to his office, checked the suspect's file in his puter and returned with a beaming smile. "Wow! I can't believe it . . . it's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such a wise observation?"

Recently a European mission(委员会) tried to find out people’s ideas and reactions to the women’s movement.

But only 15% of Italian men said they did the housework; many of them said they never helped at all!But there was an interesting point of view from the wives. According to British wives, only 38% of their husbands helped in the house. And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped. The Italian and British men did not tell the truth! The mission found that Danish men were the most truthful husbands. Their answers were the same as their wives’ answers.Do the men you know help in the house?

The orbit of one particular et was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but hecould not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a et had the shape of an ellipse(椭圆形).Now Halley set to work. He figured out(解决，计算出)the orbits of some of the ets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The ets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearance had been 75 to 76 years apart.This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different ets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the ore his thought that there had been three different ets as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same et three times. The et had gone away and had e back again.It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain though to make a prediction(预言)of what would happen in the future. He decided that this would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley’s prediction could be tested. In 1758 the et appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that et had been called Hall ey’s et, in his honor.8 Edmund Halley figured out the orbit of ____.A. some different ets appearing several timesB. the same et appearing at different timesC. three different ets appearing at the same timeD. several ets appearing at the same time9.

Now an adventurer named Tim Jarvis has announced plans to recreate Shackleton's dangerous journey next month, hoping to raise awareness about climate change.Shackleton wanted to lead the first journey across Antarctica, from the northern side to the south. But the adventure went off course when ice damaged his ship, and he and the crew had to fight their way back to civilization.With nothing but a lifeboat and a small amount of food, Shackleton and 5 members of his 22-man crew sailed 800 miles through icebergs and freezing conditions, from Antarctica's Elephant Island to a whaling station on an island called South Georgia, off the continent's coast. Once there, Shackleton was able to get help to rescue the crewmembers he had left behind months before.Almost 100 years later, Jarvis plans to recreate the voyage in the same kind of lifeboat that Shackleton was forced to use in 1916. The replica(复制品) lifeboat is named after Alexandra Shackleton, the great explorer's granddaughter, who originally asked Jarvis to consider the trip."We're on a boat with absolutely no modern guide aids," Jarvis recently told reporters. "We'll just be going into darkness."Why take the trip? Little was known about Antarctica at the time of Shackleton's journey. The expedition gave the world important information about Antarctica's climate and geography. Jarvis intends his 2021 mission to show how the continent's icy environment has changed over the past hundred years because of climate change."The irony is that Shackleton tried to save his men from Antarctica," Jarvis told reporters. "We are now trying to save Antarctica from man."But this crew will not be in the same kind of danger that the Shackleton expedition was. A high-tech boat will follow Jarvis at all times and help if necessary. Jarvis and his members will compare what they see of Antarctica's melting ice with Shackleton's descriptions, then write down the differences.Jarvis will leave for Antarctica from the southern tip of South America in January. He believes the trip will take two months if everything goes according to plan.6. According to the passage, explorer Shackleton .A. sailed 800 miles to reach Elephant IslandB. returned with 5 members of his crewC. made a narrow escape from his journeyD. went to Antarctica to catch whales7. What caused Shackleton's exploration to fail?A. Big icebergs were on their way to Antarctica.B. They couldn't bear the freezing weather.C. They ran out of their food soon.D. Their ship was damaged by ice.8. Why did Tim want to recreate the voyage?A. To care about the climate change.B. To protect Antarctica from being polluted.C. To honor the brave travel of Shackleton.D. To make Alexandra Shackleton glad.9. What will Tim do in Antarctica?A. Change Antarctica's icy environment.B. Record the changes of ice in Antarctica.C. Find what Shackleton left 100 years ago.D. Prevent Antarctica's ice from melting.10. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Prepare for an AdventureB. Explore the Unknown WorldC. The End of the EarthD. Go for a Hike in AntarcticaCDeath Valley National Park in California is home to a place called The Racetrack Playa. The Racetrack is a dry lake situated 1,130 m above sea level, and even though it is 4.5 km long, the ground is surprisingly flat, with only a 4 cm height differential between the north and south ends. The mountains surrounding the Racetrack, included mainly dark stone, reach as high as 1,731 m above the lake bed. When the heavy rains come, water rushes down the mountains and onto the lake bed, forming a shallow lake. Due to the hot temperatures of the region, the water evaporates, leaving behind a layer of soft mud. When the liquid fully evaporates, the ground cracks and leaves a mosaic pattern behind. While all of this is interesting, the feature that makes this area truly unique is something that has yet to be fully understood by the scientific community.Over time, stones have fallen from the mountainsides onto the lake bed. Some of the stones are small, though others weigh as much as 700 pounds. Once they are situated on the flat surface, one might be easy to think that they would remain there for thousands of years. This, however, is not the case. These huge rocks and stones (known as Sailing Stones, Sliding Rocks, or Moving Rocks) are found all over the dry lake bed with long trails having formed behind them, extending for hundreds of meters. Since there is no evidence of human or animal activities in the movement of these stones, one has to wonder how it is happening.Not only do the stones move, but they move in completely different directions. Two stones could start next to one another, and start moving at about the same speed, but one will suddenly stop or change directions. Sometimes the sailing stones will turn around completely, moving back towards their point of origin. The tracks left behind are generally no wider than 30 cm, and less than 2.5 cm deep. The longest tracks have been forming for many years, though to date, nobody has ever seen the event.Until someone actually see it, we won't know for certain how these stones sail around the lake bed in Death Valley National Park.11. What do we know about the Racetrack Playa?A. It is about 1,731 m above the sea level.B. It is surrounded by various trees.C. Its ground is about 4 cm deep.D. It is a dry lake with a smooth bottom.12. The underlined word "evaporates" may mean .A. gives offB. goes offC. washes awayD. takes up13. What do the words "the case" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The stones fall onto the lake bed.B. The stones stay where they are.C. The stones become round in shape.D. The stones can weigh 700 pounds.14. The stones at the Racetrack .A. won't stop and change their directionsB. will move in the same directionC. won't move up the surrounding hillsD. won't move back where they start15. The passage is mainly about .A. the stones moving constantlyB. the stones rolling at the bottom of a lakeC. the strange lake in California for people to visitD. the mystery behind the sailing stones of Death Valley DThe ancient city of Xi'an in China holds many treasures. And last month, archaeologists working there made an important discovery—a buried palace built in the third century B.C. to honor China's first emperor.The entire palace measures roughly 2,260 feet long by 820 feet wide. It includes 10 courtyard houses and one main building. Archaeologists found bricks and pieces of pottery at the site of the palace, as well as the remains of walls and roads.The palace is part of the massive burial complex of Emperor Qin Shihuangdi. He conquered seven warring kingdoms and united ancient China in 211 B.C.Qin Shihuangdi wanted his legacy, or accomplishments, to be remembered forever. So he hired more than 700,000 workers to build his funeral complex in Xi'an. It represents a miniature version of his vast kingdom.The complex also includes the world-famous terra-cotta army, a collection of more than 8,000 life-size clay statues. These sculptures represent soldiers, acrobats, and horses from the Qin Dynasty (221 B.C.-206 B.C.). Scientists have not yet found all these terra-cotta warriors, even though they discovered more of the statues last summer.Farmers discovered the complex by accident in 1974. Since then, scientists studying the site have learned a great deal about life in ancient China. But much of the emperor's tomb has yet to be excavated, or unearthed. Many of the artifacts (objects from the past) are so old that scientists cannot preserve them."Archaeologists fully acknowledge that nobody in the world has the technology (to safely excavate Xi'an's treasures) yet," explains Kristin Romey, an expert on Chinese archaeology.But as technology improves, archaeologists will keep digging to uncover the rest of the wonders that still lie buried in Xi'an."It's one of the most important archaeological discoveries that's waiting to be made," says Romey, "and we know where it is."16. How long is the history of the newly found palace?A. About 2,200 years.B. About 2,000 years.C. About 820 years.D. About 2,400 years.17. Why did Qin Shihuang have people build his tomb?A. To keep all of his treasures in store.B. To expect people to remember him forever.C. To prevent his body from disappearing soon.D. To collect more than 8,000 life-size clay soldiers.18. The underlined word "excavated" may mean .A. builtB. repairedC. dug upD. destroyed19. What causes trouble to dig out the emperor's tomb?A. The local government doesn't support it.B. Archaeologists are in great need.C. There isn't plenty of money.D. Technology isn't advanced yet.20. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. An Ancient Palace is UncoveredB.

2022届高考英语二轮复习分类阅读写作训练之人与自然人与环境一、七选五（2021·福建莆田市·高二期末）In Japan, taking a walk in the woods or “forest bathing” is taken very seriously. 1．The secret is that it does far more than just giving you some exercise and a bit of fresh air. There are some other fantastic benefits.2．Not surprisingly, a walk in the woods has proven to be more of an attractive activity to people who are overweight than an hour in a gym. Doctors are now suggesting that walking in the woods is a far healthier way for fat people to exercise than walking indoors.It can also greatly reduce your blood pressure. In Japan, researchers had one group of subjects take a walk in a wooded area and another group in a built up area. 3．They found the subjects that had taken a walk in the woods had significantly lower blood pressure than those who had walked in an urban area.Just being near trees can reduce depression. 4．In one study carried out in London, it was found that people who lived near to trees had much better mental health. Researchers discovered that, the more trees that could be found in any location, the fewer the number of people who were being prescribed antidepressants (抗抑郁药).Walking in the woods has already been shown to improve brainpower. That is why there is currently a trend to site kindergartens in wooded areas. Researchers have found that, children who play in wooded areas develop better cognitive (认知的) skills and are better equipped to be able to assess risks and dangers. 5．A．It helps you recover from illness.B．It can help overweight people lose weight.C．That has been proven in studies conducted in big cities.D．What have the Japanese discovered about walking in a forest?E.Then they compared their blood pressure when they returned.F.Why does the air in a forest contain all kinds of beneficial things?G.It also, of course, gives children a better appreciation of the natural world.二、阅读理解A（2021·江苏南京·高一期中）Sheep farmers can profit by planting trees and sellingcarbon credits, according to a new study. The report by the University of Sheffield, published in the journal Environmental Research, suggests that farmers with more than 60 acres of land could turn a profit if their land were returned to forest and they received £ 3 per ton of CO2 captured. The farmers co uld then sell the carbon ‘credits’ to companies looking to offset(抵消)their emissions(排放物), such as airlines.The study was released as the UK farming sector prepares to move away from the Basic Payment System to the new Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELMS), which focuses on producing ‘public goods’, such as recovering ecosystems, flood defenses and carbon storage. Carbon credits are currently being sold for £ 15 per ton, a price that could make any forest size profitable, according to the study. The research also suggests that if the UK increased its tree cover from 8% to 12%, the amount of carbon emissions captured by forests would increase by 10%.“Sheep farming in the UK is not profitable without subsidies(补贴), but forests dull sell carbon credits can be economically workable—so it makes sense for the Government to help farmers transition (过渡),” believes Colin Osborne, the lead author of the study, “In the end, these come down to political questions of how we want our countryside to be used, how we value livestock production over the global costs of climate breakdown and how the Government supports farmers and rural communities.”However, critics say that the study is far too simplistic, with the National Sheep Association (NSA) saying land managemen t shouldn’t only focus on carbon emissions, but has to be multi-functional. Speaking to Farmers Guardian, NSA CEO Phil Stocker says it’s “really easy for scientists to justify the planting of forests through a carbon calculation (计算), because it is easy to measure how much carbon is in a tree and then apply an offset value”.Mr. Stocker notes that grassland can effectively capture carbon and adds, “I appreciate trees as much as anyone, but to introduce policies to destroy grasslands by creating forests is short-sighted at best.”6．What is the new study about?A．Forests giving way to sheep farming.B．UK sheep farmers preferring to plant trees.C．Sheep farmers contributing greatly to environmental protection.D．UK sheep farmers getting paid for replacing their grassland with forest.7．What is the aim of the new ELMS?A．To help sheep farmers get richer and richer.B．To support those suffering from natural disasters.C．To use the land in an environmentally-friendly way.D．To encourage people to plant more trees on their land.8．What do Colin Osborne’s words focus on?A．The role of the Government. B．The future of sheep farming.C．The costs of climate breakdown. D．The problems of rural communities. 9．Which of the following would Phil Stocker agree with?A．It is meaningful to measure carbon emissions.B．It is unwise to replace grassland with woodland.C．Subsidizing farmers helps improve soil quality.D．Grassland plays a more vital role than woodland.B（2021·福建省连城县第一中学）"You are very aware that if something goes wrong, it goes very wrong very quickly," says Joanne Johnson, speaking near Thwaites Glacier(冰川) in one of the remotest parts of Antarctica. At the time, she and three colleagues were alone, more than 1600 kilometres from the nearest research station. Strong winds had pounded them and it had snowed heavily. On the bright side, fortunately, it was mild, at -5℃.Until now, fewer than 50 people have been to this part of West Antarctica, less than have been to space. By the end of this month, 100 will have visited. The reason is simple: Thwaites now is a potential time bomb.This vast glacier is about the size of Great Britain. While it has been lessening since the early 1990s, ice it lost has almost doubled over the past 20 years. It is falling 35 billion tonnes a year. On its own, its collapse would raise seas by around 65 centimetres. That is worrying enough in the context of the 19-cm rise in the whole of the 20th century. But the bigger worry is that this glacier buttresses the entire West Antarctic ice sheet. The fear is that it will cause a wider collapse of the ice sheet — enough to raise seas by a disastrous 3.3 metres within a few hundred years if Thwaites goes.Scientists for the first time drilled into the ice; placing instruments into the ice is the only way to make accurate forecasts of how sea level will rise in the future. This year's work has already confirmed their fears though — warm ocean water that circles Antarctica is flowing to the coast and because the seabed tips downwards, as the ice melts(融化) it will exposeincreasingly more ice to that water, meaning the glacier could disappear increasingly rapidly.Joanne Johnson said, "What happens in the Antarctic doesn't stay in the Antarctic. Humanity cannot afford to wait."10．Why will more people visit Thwaites?A．To measure Thwaites' size. B．To locate Thwaites Glacier.C．To explore West Antarctica. D．To learn about Thwaites' melting. 11．What does the underlined word "buttresses" in paragraph 3 mean?A．Supports. B．Covers.C．Damages. D．Balances.12．What's the purpose of scientists' drilling into the ice?A．To find out the position of ice melting.B．To predict the exact change of sea level.C．To calculate the speed of water circling.D．To prevent the seabed from moving.13．What does Joanne Johnson mean in the last paragraph?A．Antarctic is destroyed by outsiders.B．Antarctic is the focus of the problem.C．Thwaites' trouble will become worldwide.D．Humans should be blamed for Thwaites' crisis.C（2021·上海市实验学校高二期末）There has, in recent years, been an outpouring of information about the impact of buildings on the natural environment. Information which explains and promotes green and sustainable construction design strives to convince others of its effectiveness and warns of the dangers of ignoring the issue. Seldom do these documents offer any advice to practitioners, such as (hose designing mechanical and electrical systems for a building, on how to utilize this knowledge on a practical level.While the terms green and sustainable arc often considered synonymous, in that they both symbolize nature, green does not include all that is meant by sustainability. Some elements of green design may be sustainable too, for example those which reduce energy usage and pollution, while others, such as ensuring internal air quality, may be considered green despite having no influence on the ecological balance.Although there are a good many advocates of 'green' construction in the architecturalindustry, this is not enough to make green construction come into being. The driving force behind whether a building is constructed with minimal environmental impact lies with the owner of the building; that is, the person financing the project. If the owner considers green design unimportant, or of secondary importance, then more than likely, it will not be factored into the design.The 81nmissioning(委托)process plays a key role in ensuring the owner gets the building he wants, in terms of design, costs and risk. At the predesign stage, the owner's objectives, criteria and the type of design imagined are discussed and documented. This gives a design team a solid foundation on which they can build their ideas, and also provides a specific standard against which individual elements, such as costs, design and environmental impact can be judged.In some cases, an owner may be aware of the latest trends in sustainable building design. He may have done research into it himself or he may have been informed of the merits of green design through early discussion with professionals. However, firms should not take it as read that someone commissioning a building already has a preconceived idea of how green he intends the structure to be. Indeed, this initial interaction between owner and firm is the ideal time for a designer to outline and promote the ways that green design can meet the client's objectives, thus turning a project originally not destined for green design into a potential candidate.14．What is the passage mainly about?A．Explaining to owners why ignoring green issues is costly and dangerous. B．Explaining to professionals how they can influence clients to choose greener designs. C．Explaining to owners the importance of green building design in reducing long-term damage.D．Explaining to professionals why it is important to follow the correct procedures. 15．The examples of green and sustainable designs given in paragraph 2 show that________. A．designs must be sustainable in order for them to be described as green.B．for the purposes of this paper, the terms green and sustainable have the same meaning. C．some sustainable designs arc green, while others are not.D．some designs are termed green, even though they are not sustainable.16．According to paragraph 3, the reason for the lack of green buildings being designed is that________.A．few firms have any experience in design and constructing buildings to a green design. B．construction companies are unaware of the benefits of green and sustainable designs. C．firms do not get to decide whether a building is to be constructed sustainably.D．firms tend to convince clients that other factors are more important than sustainability. 17．Which of the following is NOT true about the commissioning process?A．It is conducted before the building is designed.B．It is a stage that all clients go through when constructing a building.C．It is a step in the design procedure in which the clients goals arc identified.D．It provides the firm with a measure of how well they did their job.三、用单词的适当形式完成短文（2021·福建宁德·）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。

There's more evidence that what's good for your heart is good for your head.
A new study shows that people who run，swim or do other moderate intensity（中等强度）exercise have brains that look，on average，10 years younger than the brains of couch potatoes.
"Our study showed that for older people，getting moderate intensity exercise may be protective，helping them keep their brains work better，"said Dr.Clinton Wright of the University of Miami，who led the study.But it's not necessarily easy.Walking，golf，bowling and yoga don't count，and people need to start before they begin showing memory loss，Wright's team reported in the journal Neurology.
The study of nearly 900 people who exercise regularly showed that 90 percent fell into the low-intensity group.These people are part of a larger group taking part in a bigger study called Northern Manhattan Study.They were asked how long and how often they exercised during the past two weeks.Five years later，they were tested for memory and thinking skills and got a brain MRI.Seven years after that，they took the memory and thinking tests again.The 10 percent who said they took part in moderate intensity exercise scored better on the tests.These included running，climbing，swimming，riding bicycles and so on.
"We found that those with moderate intensity activity had higher
scores and slower decline than inactive people when comparing the results，"the study team wrote.
Many studies have shown that exercise may not prevent Alzheimer's disease but may delay it.The findings fit in with a study that found two years of exercising，eating healthier food and brain training can promote people's memory function.
1. What's true about the study?
A. Most people surveyed took low-intensity exercise.
B. Only 900people took part in the bigger study.
C. High-intensity exercise is better.
D. Ten people scored best on the tests.
2. How did the study team come to the conclusion?
A. By observing people exercise.
B. By using examples.
C. By making a comparison.
D. By doing a brain MRI.
3. What do we know from the last paragraph?
A. Exercise will definitely strengthen people's memory.
B. Alzheimer's disease may be held back by moderate intensity exercise.
C. Exercise can put off the beginning of memory decline.
D. The findings fit in with the study of healthy food.
4. What's the best title for this passage?
A. How to keep healthy.
B. Ways to make your brain work better.
C. To exercise or not.
D. Woderate intensity exercise keeps your brain younger.。
