A[2020·福建三校联考]The things that kids choose to play with can affect our earth. The manufacturing of toys and games can produce harmful pollution and nonbiodegradable waste, which is harmful for our planet. But some toymakers are creating items for kids that aim higher. They use natural or nonharmful materials, and find ways to reuse and recycle. Toys and kits (成套工具) can also teach kids about environmentally friendly solutions. Here are a few of our favorite lowimpact, fun toys.Test the waterWater is the earth's most precious natural resource. Many people take it for granted, but not everybody in the world has access to clean water. Learn about the science behind one solution with Thames & Kosmos' Global Water Quality Experiment Kit. The kit comes with tools and instructions for conducting eight important experiments including testing the quality of water and making dirty water cleaner. ($15)Plant tomatoesWhen communities in dry, desert regions experience drought, it impacts their agricultural practices. Learn about water preservation and grow delicious cherry tomatoes with Back to the Roots SelfWatering Tomato Planter. It f eatures technology that African desert farmers have been using for thousands of years: a miniature clay pot releases water, but only when the surrounding soil has dried up. ($30) Draw with veggiesWee Can Too's Veggie Sidewalk Chalk is made from fruit and vegetable powders —it's practically safe to eat ! The chalk, created using environmentally friendly ingredients, has none of the chemicals found in your typical sidewalk chalk. When the rain comes and washes away your masterpiece, no harmful pollutants will be entering the environment. ($12)Create with cardboardWhen cardboard breaks down in a landfill, it creates methane, a major greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Recycled cardboard can be transformed into a work of art with the Cardboard Tool Kit from UncommonGoods. The kit comes with 28 reusable parts for fastening cardboard pieces together.

Gilleece looked through camera videos, watching the woman's every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Then a young man approached the bench and put somethingin his pocket. Gilleece posted several pictures on the bar's Facebook page, asking if anybody knew the guy.Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17yearold Prather. Prather admitted having taken the wallet because he hadn't eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but just took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks (码头) into the ocean.Gilleece, unsure whether he believed Prather, told the teen to meet him at the bar. There, Prather said that, not getting along with his family, he had been living in the woods for a week. Gilleece saw him as a kid rather than a criminal. But the police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Prather could face prison. Gilleece planned to employ two divers to search for it. Meanwhile, the police wanted Gilleece to bring the teen to the station. He called them and said, “He's going to be at the docks with me tomorrow.〞The next day a crowd gathered to watch the two divers search in the waters Prather mentioned. Finally a diver appeared with the wallet, and inside was the ring. Cheers burst from the crowd. The wallet's owner immediately dropped the charges against Prather. But troubled by Prather sleeping in the cold woods, Gilleece told the teen he could stay with him and his family until he stood on his own feet. He also gave the kid a job at his bar.“Most people would have given the videos to the police, but he chose to help me,〞 Prather told CBS News.4.What happened to the newly married woman?A.She lost the wallet at the bar.B.She regretted charging Prather.C.She left her wallet on a bench.D.Her wallet was stolen by Prather.5.Why did Gilleece take Prather to the docks?A.To find the ring he had thrown.B.To help the police to catch him.C.To help pay for the woman's loss.D.To let him apologize to the woman.6.What did Gilleece do after the case was over?A.Rid Prather of the charge.B.Talk with Prather's family.C.Help free Prather from prison.D.Get Prather to work in his bar.7.Which can be the best title for the text?A.A Wedding Ring was RecoveredB.A Wallet Changed a Teen's LifeC.Anyone Can Make a DifferenceD.A Kind Woman Saved a TeenC[2020·重庆一中月考(三)]Finland is the happiest place on Earth, according to the World Happiness Report 2018 of 156 countries.The report, released on Wednesday by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network, ranks the countries of the world based on six different categories of wellbeing: income, freedom, trust, healthy life expectancy, generosity and social support. This year's report also pays special attention to the happiness of each country's immigrants.The U.S. dropped four spots from 2017 and landed in 18th place. And last year's winner, Norway, came in second place —followed by Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.“The top five countries all have almost equally high values for the six factors found to support happiness, and four of these countries — Denmark, Switzerland, Norway and now Finland — have been in first place in the six World Happiness Report rankings since the first report in 2012〞,coeditor John Helliwell told CNN. “In a division with such excellent teams, changes in the top spot are to be expected.〞Rounding out the top 10 happiest countries was Canada in seventh place, then New Zealand, Sweden and Australia. The order of the top 10 countries changed from the 2017 list but the countries did not, according to the report. They were also 10 of the 11 top spots in the immigrant happiness category (including Mexico —24th overall, but 10th in immigration).“The most striking finding of the report is the remarkable consistency betweenthe happiness of the immigrants and the locallyborn,〞 Helliwell said in a statement. “Although immigrants come from countries with very different levels of happiness, their reported life evaluations resemble those of other residents in their new countries. Those who move to happier countries gain, while those who move to less happy countries lose.〞Other major world powers were placed in significantly low spots on the list. Germany came in 15th, the U.K. was 19th — followed by Japan in 54th place, Russia in 59th and China in 86th.The report, based on surveys completed by citizen volunteers, came just under a week before the International Day of Happiness on March 20, when the U.N. declared to recognize “the relevance of happiness and wellbeing as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world and the importance of their recognition in public policy objectives〞.8.Which place did the U.S. rank in the World Happiness Report 2017?A.14th. B.10th.C.18th. D.22nd.9.What is the most significant finding of the report?A.That immigrants are different from residents in their new countries.B.That immigrants come from countries with different levels of happiness.C.That immigrants become happy when they move to other countries.D.That immigrants and locals feel the similar level of happiness.10.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Happiness is no less important than any other aspect in life.B.People's happiness and wellbeing shoul d be considered when it comes to policymaking.C.The happiness report came under a week before the International Day of Happiness.D.What the U.N. declared was beneficial to all human beings.11.What is the best title of the passage?A.The International Day of HappinessB.Happiness — Forever PursuitC.What's Your Happiness Index (指数)D.The World Happiness Report 2018D[2020·大连高三一模]Rich as a KingWilliam Ⅰ, who conquered England some 950 years ago, had wealth, power and an army. Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time, he had nothing like a flush toilet (抽水马桶), paper towels, or a riding lawn mower (割草机). How did he get_by?History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me. I have storm windows, Croesus did not. Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great, but he couldn't buy cat food. Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people, you'd think I'd be content. The trouble is that, like most people, I compare my wealth with that of living persons: neighbors, school classmates, famous TV people. The greed I feel toward my friend Howard's new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.There is really no rising or falling standard of living. Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about. You'd think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood, but no, we want a hot bath too.Of course, one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today's standards the things I own are pretty nice. My house is smaller than the houses of many investment bankers, but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides, to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future, these bankers' fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby.I can't keep up with my neighbors right now. But just wait.12.What does the underlined phrase “get by〞 in the first paragraph mean?A.Succeed as a king.B.Deal with complaints.C.Live in a satisfactory way.D.Get some extra money.13.How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?A.3. B.4.C.5. D.6.14.According to the passage, the author intends to ________.A.tell us to be content with lifeB.warn us to live in a simple wayC.teach us to learn lessons from lifeD.encourage us to struggle for wealth15.What's the author's attitude towards life?A.Doubtful. B.Optimistic.C.Uncaring. D.Cautious.第二节(共5小题;每一小题2分,总分为10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。

Unfortunately, in this modern world, we have become confused by very narrow standards of beauty. Images of celebrities who never seem to age are seen everywhere these days. We forget the fact that most of these images are the result of super photo manipulation (处理), driven by the incredibly powerful beauty industry. We are all different — why should we all look the sam e? Isn’t there more to life than undergoing surgery in order to have the same boring face that everybody else wants to have?—Dr Elisabeth McKenna, PsychologistYes, it’s fake! That’s what I told my friends when they started asking me about my nose job. I’d always been sensitive to my nose, but it took me a long time before I decided to go for cosmetic surgery. I took advice from several doctors and after careful consultation I finally decided to have it done. I had been saving money from my parttime job a nd my parents helped me out with the rest. It was quite expensive but I don’t regret a penny of it. In fact I wish I’d had it done a few years ago. I’ m sure I wouldn’t have been teased so much at school.—Debbie Caron, StudentIt makes me really angry to think of the millions of people who spend a fortune on cosmetic surgery. Surgery should be carried out for medical purposes, not vanity (虚荣心). I would rather all the money spent on cosmetic surgery was available to treat people around the world who are in need but can’t get proper medical treatment. Furthermore, there are thousands of underqualified surgeons out there who only care about getting as rich as possible as quickly as possible. They don’t care about the psychological and physical damage they do. The whole industry makes me sick. We should do something to ban it.—Danny Glass, Student【语篇解读】本文关于整容的。

Unit 13 People李仕才Ⅰ阅读理解AFriendship is one of the basic bonds between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to express their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief.“No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Outgoing persons enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas shy persons are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of closeness is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Regardless of the level of closeness, all friendships are based on reciprocity (互惠), honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.1.Who are more likely to suffer from psychological disorders without friends?A. Teenagers.B. Adults.C. The elderly.D.A couple.2.What does the sentence “No man is an island” really mean?A. No man is willing to live on an island.B. Man usually doesn’t go to an islandC. Everyone is related with our society.D. Our society is just like an island.3.What can we learn about outgoing people?A. They like being alone.B. They are fond of making friends.C. They have intense friendships.D. They have fewer close friends indeed4.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. The formation of close friends.B. The number of real friends.C. Honesty, love and affection.D. Factors to determine the degree of closeness.【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。

"Language hotspots〞ese are places with endangered languages that haven't been recorded.They include the state of Oklahoma ,pockets of central and eastern Siberia ,parts of northern Australia and

Unit 13 People课时练1 阅读理解提速练Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·烟台诊断)Grandparents who help out occasionally withchildcare in their community tend to live longer than seniors whodo not care for other people, according to a study from Berlin,Germany.“Having no contact with grandchildren at all can negatively impact grandparents’ health. This link could be deeply rooted in our evolutionary past when help with childcare was important for the survival of the human species,” said Sonja Hilbrand, one of the researchers.The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70. Overall, after accounting for grandparents’ age and general state of health, the risk of dying over a 20year period was onethird lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren,compared with grandparents who provided no childcare.Caregiving was associated with a longer life even when the care receiver wasn’t relative. Half of all childless seniors who provided support to friends or neighbors lived for seven years after the study began, while nonhelpers lived for four years on average.“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others and society. Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active,” said Professor Bruno Arpino.Arpino noted, however, that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health and that too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities like working, being in social clubs, or volunteering.“Children should take__into__account their parents’ needs, willingness, and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare,” he suggested.“It is very important that every individual decides for himself/herself, what ‘proper amounts of help’ means,” Hilbrand said, adding, “As long as you do not feel stressed about the intensity(强度) of help you provide you may be doing something good for others as well as for yourself.”【解题导语】德国柏林一项研究发现,祖父母适当地帮忙照顾孙辈比不照顾孙辈的老年人寿命长。
1.What is the caregiving study based on?A.Human evolutionary history.B.Demand of modern society.C.Social contact between relatives.D.Data on many elderly people.D解析:推理判断题。
根据文章第三段第一句可知,这一发现是从对500多个70岁以上的老人的数据分析得来的。
故选D项。
2.In Arpino’s opinion, childcare________.A.is sure to keep old people away from illnessesB.allows old people to live a more meaningful lifeC.creates more job opportunities for old peopleD.makes social activities inaccessible to old peopleB解析:推理判断题。
根据题干中的“Arpino’s opinion”定位至文章第五段中的“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others and society.”可知,看护小孩让看护人觉得生活有了目的,因为他们觉得自己对他人和社会是有用的,也就是说,看护小孩可以使他们感觉生活得有意义。
故选B项。
3.What does the underlined part “take into account” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A.Limit.B.Ignore.C.Favor. D.Consider.D解析:词义猜测题。
根据第六段中的“too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities”及下文的“...their parents’ needs, willingness, and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare”可知,过多的照看责任会使老人无法从事其他有意义的活动,所以孩子应考虑老人的需求、意愿和渴求,同意他们照顾孩子的时间长度和强度的选择。
由此可猜测,take into account 意为“考虑”,与consider意义相近。
故选D项。
4.What does the last paragraph tell us?A.Grandparents can do anything in their own interests.B.Grandparents should share more social responsibilities.C.Proper amounts of childcare do good to grandparents.D.Caregiving guarantees every grandparent a longer life.C解析:细节理解题。
根据最后一段中的“As long as you do not feel stressed about the intensity(强度) of help you provide you may be doing something good for others as well as for yourself.”可知,只要你帮忙的强度不会让你感到有压力,这对他人、对你自己都是有好处的。
由此可知,适当地照顾小孩对祖父母有好处。
故选C项。
B(2018·石家庄高三模拟)Too Good To Go is a smartphone app which allows restaurants to sell food that would otherwise be thrown away at discount prices from as little as £ 2 to a maximum of £ 3.80, even if the meals are sold from the very finest restaurants in the country. Originally created in Denmark and launched in Brighton and Leeds in June, the service has recently been introduced into the United Kingdom by a couple of young entrepreneurs(企业家).Millions of tons of foods are thrown in the trash every year, with restaurants accounting for a large part, so ecoentrepreneurs Chris Wilson and Jamie Crummie came up with the good idea to stop food waste.
