2020高考英语临考难点突破专题学生版2020高考英语临考难点突破专题一、阅读理解AThe ancient tale of the Country Mouse and the Town Mouse was only the first to emphasize rural folk's supposed simplicity when compared with more sophisticated urbanites. However, neuro-scientists announce that, in fact, it is city living that can dull the wits.The new study led by Dr. Spiers at Nantes University describes how they used a dataset from 4 million people of a computer game, which tests navigating skills by asking players to memorise a map showing the location of checkpoints and then measuring how well players can find them, guided only by their mental map. Dr. Spiers and his colleagues examined the 4 million people from 38 countries, and found that the strongest indicator of a high score was a player's age—older people performed relatively poorly, which agrees with what researchers know about age-related cognitive decline. But the benefit of rural living was strong enough to offset some of that. Data showed that a 70-year-old who grew up in the countryside had the navigational abilities of an average 60-year-old across the dataset.There is a huge gap between the navigation skills of rural and city people, and the researchers think they know why. Dr. Spiers says that the brain's navigational abilities probably weaken in the less challenging city environment because they are not being used as much. Although cities may appear more elaborate, they also feature more clues to help residents find their way, such as numbered streets. In the countryside, however, one field tends tolook much the same as another, so there are fewer external landmarks to help guide the way.Neuroscientists already know that living and working in more complex environments can influence the function and structure of the brain. Brain scans of London taxi drivers, who have gained an encyclopedic memory of the city5 s streets, show that they tend to have an enlarged hippocampus—a region of the brain acting as a neural GPS, sensing position and path on an internal map of the environment.The harmful effect of city living on navigation is probably most serious in people under 16—18, Dr. Spiers says, because their still-developing brains respond and change the most according to external stimuli. And while people who live in cities with young children should not be alarmed, the study does raise some interesting ideas for urban planners: keep their city designs not so simple perhaps. And for everyone else, it might be an idea to turn off maps on the phone.1.The study led by Dr. Spiers shows that _______.A.the seniors score higher at computer gamesB.rural life benefits people's sense of directionC.participants are better at finding ways in citiesD.the young remember checkpoints better in maps2.The underlined word "offset", in Para. 2 most probably means _______.A.achieve B.confirmC.reduce D.replace3.What is the purpose of the passage?A.T o introduce a new way of driver training.B.To expose the drawbacks of living in the urban area.C.T o show the contrast between lives in the country andcity.D.T o present environments' impact on one's ability to locate places.4.What is the best tide for the passage?A.Lost in the CityB.Brain Weakened in CitiesC.Navigating to the CountrysideD.The Negative Effects of City LivingBCommunities across the world are starting to ban facial recognition technologies. The efforts are well intentioned, but banning facial recognition is the wrong way to fight against modern surveillance (监视).Generally, modern mass surveillance has three broad components: identification, correlation and discrimination.Facial recognition is a technology that can be used to identify people without their consent. Once we are identified, the data about who we are and what we are doing can be correlated with other data. This might be movement data, which can be used to "follow” us as we movethroughout our day. It can be purchasing data, Internet browsing data, or data about who we talk to via email or text. It might be data about our income, ethnicity, lifestyle, profession and interests. There is an entire industry of data brokers who make a living by selling our data without our consent.It's not just that they know who we are; it's that they correlate what they know about us to create profiles about who we are and what our interests are. The whole purpose of this process is for companies to treat individuals differently. We are shown different ads on the Internet and receive different offers for credit cards.In the future, we might be treated differently when we walk into a store, just as we currently are when we visit websites.It doesn't matter which technology is used to identify people. What's important is that we can be consistently identified over time. We might be completely anonymous (匿名的)in a system that uses unique cookies to track us as we browse the Internet, but the same process of correlation and discrimination still occurs.Regulating this system means addressing all three steps of the process. A ban on facial recognition won't make any difference. The problem is that we are being identified without our knowledge or consent, and society needs rules about when that is permissible.Similarly, we need rules about how our data can be combined with other data, and then bought and sold without our knowledge or consent. The data broker industry is almost entirely unregulated now. Reasonable laws would prevent the worst of their abuses.Finally, we need better rules about when and how it is permissible for companies to discriminate. Discrimination based on protected characteristics like race and gender is already illegal, but those rules are ineffectual against the current technologies of surveillance and control. When people can be identified and their data correlated at a speed and scale previously unseen, we need new rules.Today, facial recognition technologies are receiving the force of the tech backlash (抵制),but focusing on them misses the point. We need to have a serious conversation about all the technologies of identification, correlation and discrimination, and decide how much we want to be spied on and what sorts ofinfluence we want them to have over our lives.5.According to Para. 2, with facial recognition _______.A.one’s lifestyle change s greatlyB.one's email content is disclosedC.one's profiles are updated in timeD.one's personal information is released6.We can learn from the passage that _______.A.discrimination based on new tech surveillance is illegal B.different browsing data bring in different advertisements C.using mobiles anonymously keeps us from being correlatedD.data brokers control the current technologies of surveillance7.The underlined part “the point,,in the last paragraph probably refers to _______. A.people's concern over their safety B.the nature of the surveillance societyC.proper regulation of mass surveillanceD.the importance of identification technology8.The author wrote this passage to _______.A.call for banning facial recognition technologiesB.advocate the urgent need for changes in related lawsC.inform readers of the disadvantages of facial recognition D.evaluate three broad components in modem mass surveillanceCChicken is America’s most popular meat. Many people assume chicken follows a simple rule-of-thumb: Pink chicken turned white means “done.” It’s similar to how we cook other meats. But is this true? To study how cooks at home follow safety recommendations, researchers filmed 75 households in fiveEuropean countries. From a random but nonrepresentative sample, they also conducted an online survey of nearly 4,000 households in the same countries that say they cook chicken.Worried that chicken would dry out, most home cooks determined doneness by color and texture (口感) inside the meat, they found. Few bothered with thermometers (温度计), claiming they took too much time, were too complicated to use, didn’t fit in the chicken or weren’t necessary (although easy-to-use thermometers are inexpensive and widely available).In additional lab experiments, the scientists injected raw chicken breast with bacteria (细菌), which cause millions of sicknesses, thousands of hospitalizations and hundreds of deaths each year in the United States. They cooked the breasts until they reached core temperatures ranging from 122 to 158 Fahrenheit, and they discovered something surprising. At 158 degrees, but not lower, bacteria inside the chickens’ cores was reduced to safe levels, and when cut open its flesh appeared dull and fibrous, not shiny like raw chicken. But meat began changing from pink to white far below this, and most color change occurred below 131 degrees Fahrenheit. Sometimes, the chicken’s core would be safely cooked, but unsafe levels of bacteria still existed on surfaces that hadn’t touched the grill plate.So what are you supposed to do?Dr. Bruno Goussault, a scientist and chef, recommends buying and cooking breasts and legs separately. Bring the breast’s core to 165 degrees Fahrenheit, he said, and the leg to between 168.8 and 172.4 Fahrenheit. If you really want to safely measure temperature for a whole chicken, insert a pop-up thermometer into the thickest part of the leg before roasting it, Dr. Goussault suggests. By the time it pops, the breasts will havelong cooked. They will likely be dry and far from his standards of culinary (烹饪的) perfection. But you’ll be sure to, as Dr. Goussault says in French, “dormir sur ses deux oreilles,” or, figuratively, “sleep peacefully.”9.Why didn’t home cooks measure temperature with a thermometer?A.They could not afford it. B.It affected the taste of the meat.C.It was not available in supermarkets. D.They thought it was too much trouble. 10.In lab experiments, when the temperature reached 158 Fahrenheit, the meat . A.was free of bacteria B.still remained pinkC.appeared to dry out D.was reduced in size11.What can be learned from the last paragraph?A.The meat does not taste best when bacteria free.B.The leg becomes fully cooked before the breast.C.A whole chicken requires a higher temperature.D.The thermometer should be placed inside the breast.12.What is the passage mainly about?A.Food safety. B.Simple lifestyle.C.Cooking skills. D.Kitchen equipment.DUpskilling is the future—but it must work for everyoneAutomation and job replacement will be one of the most significant challenges for the global economy of the coming decades. A 2017 Mckinsey report established that 375 million workers will need to switch occupational categories by 2030. The World Economic Forum suggests that by 2022, automation will replace 75 million jobs globally—but create 133 million new ones.Research into the likelihood that a job will be impacted by digitization has largely focused on the “automatability” of therole and the following economic regional and political effects of this. Wha t this research doesn’t take into account is something more important for the millions of taxi drivers and retail workers across the globe: their likelihood of being able to change to another job that isn’t automatable. Recent research suggests that th e answer to this may be that the skills that enable workers to move up the ladder to more complex roles within their current areas might be less important than broader skills that will enable workers to change across divisions.In July, Amazon announced that it would spend $700 million retraining around 30% of its 300,000 US workforce. While praiseworthy, it will be interesting to see the outcome. In the UK, the National Retraining Scheme has largely been led by employers, meaning that those on zero-hours contracts and part-time workers—often low-skilled—will miss out. Governance will be a crucial element of ensuring that such schemes focus on individuals and life-long learning, rather than upskilling workers into roles that will soon also face automation.Acco rding to the Mckinsey report, “growing awareness of the scale of the task ahead has yet to translate into action. Public spending on labour-force training and support has fallen for years in most member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-Operati on and Development,” which impacts more than just the low-skilled and poorly compensated.The global impact of automation is also put into relief by research demonstrating that, between 1988 and 2015, income inequality increased throughout the world. Billions of people do not have the essentials of life as defined by the UN Sustainable Development goals.Alongside climate change, automation is arguably tech’sbiggest challenge. As withglobalization, governments and employers—and us workers—ignore its potential consequences at risk to ourselves.13.It can be known from Paragraph 2 that .A.recent research has found ways to face automationB.broad skills are of great significance in changing jobsC.regional economy can affect the automatability of a job D.it is even harder for workers to move up the social ladder 14.What is the author’s attitude towards retraining programs?A.Supportive. B.Critical.C.Skeptical. D.Sympathetic.15.According to the author, what is one consequence of automation?A.Less spending on training. B.A slowdown of globalization. C.Social unrest and instability. D.An increase in income inequality. 16.The passage is written to .A.argue the urgency of creating new jobs B.compare globalization with automation C.analyze the automatability of certain jobs D.stress the importance of upskilling workers EIf there’s one cliche(陈词滥调)that really annoys Danah Boyd, a specialist researcher who has made a career from studying the way teenagers use the web, it’s that of the digita l native. “Today the w orld has computer-mediated communications. Thus, in order to learn about their social world around them, teenagers are learning about those things too. And they’re using that to work out the stuff that kids have always worked out: peer(同龄人)sociality, statu s, etc.” she says.It’s no surprise Boyd takes exception, really. As one of thefirst digital anthropologists to dig into the way teenagers use social networking sites, she gained insights into the social web by taking a closer look at what was going on.Lately, her work has been about explaining new ways of interpreting the behavior we see online. She outlined some examples at a recent conference in San Francisco, including the case of a young man from one of the poorest districts of Los Angeles who was applying for a top American college. The applicant said he wanted to escape the influence of violence, but the admissions officer was shocked when he discovered that the boy's MySpace page was covered with precisely the violent language he claimed to hate. “Why was he lying about his motivations?” asked the university. “He wasn't, ” said Boyd. “In his world, showing the right images online was a key part of surviving daily life.”Understanding what’s happening online is especially important, for today’s teena gers have a vastly different approach to privacy from their parents. She says, “Adults think of the home as a very private space. That’s often not the case for teenagers because they have little or no control over who has access to it, or under what conditions. As a result, the online world can feel more private because it feels like there's more control.”The concept of control is central to Boyd's work, and it applies to pointing out the true facts about teenage behavior. Boyd suggests control remains in the same places as it always did.“Technologists all go for the idea of techno?utopia (乌托邦), the web as great democratizer (民主化)”,she says. “But we’re not actually democratizing the whole system;we’re just shifting the way in which we discriminate.”It’s a call to arms that most academic researchers would tend to sidestep, but then Boyd admits to treading a fine line between academics and activists. “The questions I continue to want to ask are the things that are challenging to me;having to sit down and be forced to think about uncomfortable social stuff, and it’s really hard to get my head around it, which means it’s exactly what I should dive in and deal with, ” she says.17.What does Danah Boyd think of “compute r-mediated communications”?A.They teach teenagers about social interaction.B.They replace other sorts of social interaction for teenagers.C.They are necessary for teenagers to have social interaction.D.They are barriers to wider social interaction among teenagers.18.Why does Danah Boyd cite the example of the Los Angeles college applicant?A.T o show how easy it is to investigate somebody's online activity.B.To illustrate how easy it is to misinterpret an individual online activity.C.T o prove how important it is to check the content of someone's online activity.D.T o express how necessary it is to judge someone's sincerity from his online activity. 19.Danah Boyd argues in Paragraph 4 that _______.A.teenagers feel more private in the online world than in the homeB.teenagers are less concerned about privacy than theirparentsC.parents tend not to respect teenagers'need for online privacyD.parents value the idea of privacy less in a domestic environment20.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Danah Boyd _______.A.is willing to take on research challenges others would avoidB.regards herself as being more of an activist than a researcherC.is aware that she is lacking in ability to deal with the challengesD.feels like abandoning the research into uncomfortable social stuffF“Jewel wings fly around like little helicopters until they see preys (猎物), usually smaller flying insects,” said Bellido, a biologist at the University of Minnesota. “Then th ey dash at their meals in a burst of speed.”You might mistake jewel wings for their cousins, dragonflies. New research shows that these two insects share something more significant than their appearance, however. In a paper published in Current Biology, Dr. Bellido and the dragonfly colleagues reveal that the neural (神经的) systems behind jewel wings’ vision are shared with dragonflies, with whom they have a common ancestor that lived before dinosaurs. But over the centuries, this brain wiring has adapted itself in different ways in each creature, enabling sharply different hunting strategies.Jewel wings’ behavior involves attacking what’s directly infront of them, the team found. But recordings made in the lab by Dr. Gonzalez and her colleagues confirmed that dragonflies rise up in a straight line to seize unsuspecting insects from below. Researchers are particularly interested in the neurons (神经元) that send visual information to the wings.To look closer at the neurons linking vision and flight, the researchers equipped jewel wings with sensors and showed them a video of a moving dot, comparing it with earlier dragonfly research. When a neuron fired, a popping sound filled the researchers’ ears, allowing them to tell exactly which movements-left, right, up, down or some combination-each neuron responded to. Jewel wings best see what’s right in front of them, they found, while dragonflies’ clearest vision is just above them.The team was interested to find that while jewel wings’ neurons didn’t alw ays res pond like those in dragonflies, the number of neurons and organization were similar. That suggests that the system that conveys this information from the eyes to the wing muscles did not evolve recently, but has roots that are millions of years older than the oldest dinosaurs. And that ancient common ancestor likely had already developed remarkable speed in both vision and flight. Then, in the following years, the system has evolved to suit individual insect species.This shared neural system may be more than 250 million years old, but it is also flexible enough to transform itself to meet the needs of a variety of creatures in different eras and environments, the findings suggest.21.Jewel wings usually catch their meals ________ them.A.on the right of B.on the left ofC.straight ahead of D.at the back of22.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.What actions jewel wings take to catch preys.B.How jewel wings ‘neurons respond to vision.C.When jewel wings start to hunt for their preys.D.Where researchers did the research into jewel wings.23.What can we learn about dragonflies and jewel wings from the passage?A.The two insects possess similar neural systems.B.Jewel wings’ vision is sharper than dragonflies’.C.Dragonflies ‘brain wiring is the same with jewel wings’.D.The oldest dinosaurs react as rapidly as the two insects.24.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.T o analyse the habits of two similar insects.B.To tell the difference between dragonflies and jewel wings.C.To assess the effects of differ ent insects ‘hunting strategies.D.To present the result of a study on two insects neural systems.GWe Are CyborgsRoboCop, the Bionic Woman, Darth V ader-what do these characters have in common? They are all cyborgs-humans who are made more powerful by advanced technology. You might think that cyborgs exist only in fiction, or are a possibility only in the distant future. But cyborg technology already exists.The word “cyborg” was first used in 1960 and defined as an organism “to which extern al component s have been added for the purpose of adapting to new environments”. According to this definition, an astronaut in a spacesuit is an example ofcyborg, as the spacesuit helps the astronaut adapt to a new environment-space. More recently, the word has evolved to refer to human beings who have mechanical body parts that make them more than human.Although super-humans like RoboCop are not yet a reality, advances in real-life cyborg technology allow some people to compensate for abilities they have lost, and give other people new and unusual abilities. An example is filmmaker Rob Spence and his bionic eye. Spence injured one of his eyes in an accident.A camera was implanted in his prosthetic eye(假眼). The eye is not connected to his brain or optic nerve(视神经), but it can record what he sees. Spence has used his camera eye to record interviews for a documentary about people with bionic body parts.Some types of cyborg technology replace a lost ability by connecting directly to a person’s nerves. Michael Chorost completely and suddenly lost his ability to hear in July of 2001. Two months later, doctors placed a cochlear implant, a kind of computer, inside his skull. This type of implant connects to auditory nerves and allows a deaf person to hear again. Around the world, over 300,000 people have now been fitted with cochlear implants.These examples of cyborg technology have enabled people to enhance or change their abilities and improve their lives. But does everyone want to use cyborg technology? It might be too late to decide. Cyborg scientist Amber Case argues that most of us are already cyborgs. Anyone who uses a computer or a smartphone, Case claims, is a cyborg. Consider the data that you have in your smartphone. It keeps information for you so you don’t have to remember it: notes, phone numbers, emailaddresses, messages. It also allows you to communicate with friends and family via telephone, text messages, email, and social networks.The potential benefits of cyborg technology are evident, but can this new technology be harmful, too? Could we become too dependent on cyborg technology-and become less than human? These still remain questions.25.According to the passage, the cyborg _______.A.is similar to human beingsB.took root in fiction charactersC.first appeared in space industryD.has some device attached to the body26.With the help of cyborg technology, _______.A.eyesight can be restoredB.the nerve injury can be repairedC.lost abilities can be replaced by a new skillD.hearing loss can be prevented by cochlear implants27.Amber Case probably thinks that ______.A.technology makes cyborgs become commonB.cyborg technology is crucial to modern societyC.the use of mobiles improves cyborg technologyD.cyborg technology helps improve human memory28.Wha t is the author’s attitude toward cyborg technology?A.Critical. B.Skeptical.C.Optimistic. D.Objective.HThe last decade saw the rise of the field of “plant neurobiology (神经生物学)”. That debatable field is based on the idea that plants——which do not possess brains ——handleinformation in ways similar to complicated animal nervous systems. This thinking implies that plants could feel happiness or sorrow or pain, make intentional decisions and even possess consciousness. But the chances of that are “effective ly zero," Lincoln Taiz and colleagues write in an opinion piece in Trends in Plant Science. "There's nothing in the plant remotely comparable to the complexity of the animal brain," says Taiz, from the University of California, Santa Cruz.Some plants are capable of complicated behavior. Wounded leaves can send warning signals to other parts of the plant, and harmful chemicals can warn animals that eat them. Some plants may even have a version of short-term memory: Tiny sensing hairs can count the number of touches that come from a clumsy insect. But plants perform these with equipment that's very different from the nervous systems of animals, no brain required, Taiz argues.He and colleagues point out methodological (方法的) faults in some of the studies that claim plants have brain-like command centers, animal-like nerve cells and changing patterns of electricity that are similar to activity found in animal brains. But beyond the debate over how these studies are conducted, Taiz's team argues that plant consciousness doesn't even make sense from an evolutionary (进化的) point of view.Complicated animal brains advanced in part to help a living being catch a meal and avoid becoming one, Taiz says. But plants are rooted to the ground and rely on sunlight for energy, an inactive lifestyle that doesn't require quick thinking or outsmarting a predator (捕食者)——or the energetically expensive nervous systems that enable those behaviors.“What use would consciousness be to a plant?” Taiz asks.The energy required to power awareness would be too costly, and the benefit from such awareness too small. If a plant worried and suffered when faced with a threat, it would be wasting so much energy that it wouldn't have any left to do anything about that threat, Taiz says.Imagine a forest fire. "It's unbearable to even consider the idea that plants would be conscious beings aware of the fact that they're being burned to ashes, watching the young trees die in front of them," Taiz says. The frightening scene illustrates "what it would actually cost a plant to have consciousness."Furthermore, plants have plenty to do without having to be conscious, too. With sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, plants create the compounds (化合物) that sustain much of the rest of life on Earth, Taiz points out. "Isn't that enough?"29.According to Paragraph 1, a plant neurobiologist would most probably agree that ______. A.plants are capable of independent thinkingB.plants are as biologically complex as animalsC.plants developed nervous systems for survivalD.plants feel emotions in the same way as animals30.What does the underlined "one” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.A predator.B.A meal.C.An inactive plant.D.A living being.31.Which statement does Linchol T aiz believe?A.Plants possess brain-like command centers.B.The lifestyle of plants requires nervous systems.C.It is unnecessary for plants to have consciousness.。

2023年高考英语新时政热点阅读 06 中华文化流行与传播(含解析)

2023年高考英语新热点时文阅读-中华文化流行与传播01(2022·河北·高三阶段练习)Since the beginning of the China chic(中国风) fever roughly two years ago, Chinese elements have become increasingly popular among young illustrators and designers. From Chinese YouTuber Li Ziqi to the design of clothes to furniture, Chinese aesthetics(美学) can be found everywhere. Wu Yao, a well-known Chinese illustrator and designer, said in an interview that the emergence of China chic is in fitting with the times and provides ordinary consumers, both Chinese and foreign, with a channel and opportunity to learn about Chinese tradition.The fundamental reason for the popularity of China chic comes from the all-covering nature of Chinese art. For instance, Chinese paintings have an extensive range of subjects and styles. There are a lot of French artists or fashion masters who have a lot of Chinese collections at home.Some experts say that Chinese millennials(千禧一代) are a generation who grew up with the revival of Chinese culture. They are confident in their own culture, pay more attention to quality, innovation, personal experience and are willing to experience multiculturalism. Therefore a sense of identity and confidence in traditional culture began to emerge among them.At the same time, to satisfy the Chinese market, a lot of foreign brands introduced products with Chinese elements such as "tiger bags" or clothing printed with flowers popular in Northeast China. However, it seems that Chinese consumers are not buying these products. This is due to the designer of these products' lack of understanding of Chinese culture. They don't know the stories of these cultural relics, so they define a Chinese style according to their own understanding."They don't take our traditional culture as seriously as we do. As Chinese designers, we carefully search literature, learn traditional culture and do much work before each creation, but they do not care so much about this," Wu noted.1.Why is Li Ziqi mentioned?A.To praise Li Ziqi for her great success.B.To give an example of Chinese aesthetics.C.To show her influence on Chinese aesthetics.D.To attract more people to know and follow her.2.What makes China chic so popular?A.More art collectors' emergence.B.The easier access to Chinese art.C.The wide coverage of Chinese art.D.People's improved aesthetic standards.3.What might Wu Yao advise foreign designers to do?A.Take their profession more seriously.B.Change their attitude toward the China chic.C.Create more products with Chinese elements.D.Learn more about Chinese traditional culture.4.What is mainly talked about in the text?A.The characteristics of Chinese aesthetics.B.The popularity of China chic in the world.C.The challenges facing young artists in China.D.The distinctions between Chinese and other aesthetics.02(2022·江西省乐平中学高三开学考试)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

中国出境人次增多的英语作文

中国出境人次增多的英语作文

中国出境人次增多的英语作文English: In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of Chinese outbound tourists, with more and more people choosing to travel abroad for leisure, education, business, and other purposes. This rise can be attributed to a variety of factors, including the growth of the Chinese middle class, increased disposable income, easier access to information through technology, and the relaxation of visa restrictions by many countries. Additionally, the desire for new experiences, cultural exchanges, and a better quality of life have played a role in fueling this trend. As a result, more Chinese travelers are exploring international destinations, contributing to the global tourism industry and fostering cross-cultural understanding. However, this surge in outbound tourism also raises concerns about overtourism, sustainability, and the impact on local communities and environments. It is important for both travelers and destination countries to prioritize responsible and sustainable travel practices to ensure the long-term benefits of tourism for all parties involved.中文翻译: 近年来,中国出境游客数量显著增加,越来越多的人选择出国旅游,不仅仅是为了娱乐,还有教育、商务等目的。

Most of us spe nd all day at school or work. After a long and busy day, all we want to do is retur n to a comfortable home. Smart tech no logy can turn any home into a ni cer place to live.Smart homes have bee n arou nd for some time. Scottish compa ny Pico Electro n ics inven ted a type of tech no logy called X10 in 1975.It allows household devices (家用设备),such as lights and alarms,to com muni cate with each other by using radio waves (无线电波),accord ing to AVSytemsMag, a specialized magaz ine in theaudiovisualautomati on in dustry.Of course, 5G n etwork conn ectivity has made smart homesmuch more sophisticated (复杂的)tha n X10. Perhaps the most widespread smart home tech no logy is the voice-activated assista nt (语音激活助手).Google Home and Amaz on ' s Alexa allow users to in teractwith n early any device in their home simply by speak ing a few words. This is especially convenient for childre n and people with physical disabilities, as they can finish tasks that would normally be too difficult, accord ing to How-To Geek.Common household appliances (家用电器)can become “ smart ” as well. For example, a smart trash bin can keeptrack of the things you ' ve thrown away and placfea ifco rniew items, while smart refrigerators can create dinner recipes (菜谱)based on the vegetables that are being kept in side, accord ing to HowStuffWorks.re not But it ' s not just about convenience. Smart homes are also good for the environment. By regularly checking your energy useand automatically (自动地)turning off lights and other devices that you using, smart homes can lower how much electricity you use overall.

3月高考英语考前突破 阅读理解能力 社会生活 空气污染使中国富豪移民海外(1)

空气污染使中国富豪移民海外The country's wealthiest residents are emigrating to other countries, in large part to avoid awful air pollution. The past few years have seen record-high levels of dangerous pollutants that have been linked to cancers and respiratory problems.中国富豪正移民海外,主要是为了避免空气污染造成的危害。

过去几年,诱发癌症和呼吸系统疾病的污染物含量屡创新高。

By the 1970s, Central Park was in a state of decay. Bridges were crumbling. Meadows had dried up. Graffiti and vandalism(破坏公物) blighted playgrounds and benches. There was an overwhelming feeling that its best days had passed. "Positive use had increasingly been displaced by illicit and illegal activity," is how the Central Park Conservancy describes it today.Then George Soros stepped in. Frustrated by what he and others saw as New York City's inept management of the 160-year-old institution, Soros and another financier commissioned a study on potential fixes. Its chief recommendation was creating a private citizen-based board to oversee an individual running the park's operations -- in effect, allowing private citizens to control the park. Soon the not-for-profit Central Park Conservancy was created, and the area returned to its former glory. Thirty years later the conservancy provides 75% of a nearly $60 million annual park budget and is a New York institution unto itself. The board of trustees includes former J.P. Morgan Chairman and CEO William Harrison, KKR's Henry Kravis, and the hedge fund manager John Paulson, who two years ago announced he would give $100 millio n to the conservancy(管理,保护), the largest park donation ever.The growing wealth gap around the world is raising concerns about economic fairness and class divisions. But Central Park’s revival illustrates the importance of the very wealthy in civic society. Their private dollars fund projects that governments won't, and they have an especially key role in urban cente rs. All this explains why reports of China's air pollution driving out wealthy residents are so troubling. Is China losing its most important residents to smog?The air in northern Chinese cities has been poor for a while. But after the past few years of "air apocalypses" and record-high levels of PM 2.5, the dangerously small pollutants under 2.5 micrometers in size (1/30 the width of a human hair) that find their way into the bloodstream and have been linked to cancers and respiratory (呼吸的) problems, citizens have increased complaints and growing numbers of rich have started making plans to move away.A recent survey provides the s trongest evidence yet that China's polluted cities risk driving away the rich. Released in January by the Hurun Research Institute, the survey shows 64% of China's rich (those with wealth above $1.6 million) wereeither immigrating to another country or planning to, a rise from 60% in the last poll two years ago. That came as a surprise to Rupert Hoogewerf, founder of the Hurun Report, an annual China rich list. He wasn’t expecting the already high figure to grow. He says pollution and food safety was the second-biggest reason for emigrating, after the general desire for security and financia l well-being. Although the numbers of those emigrating haven't yet reached a critical mass, Hoogewerf says "a lot of families are finding a lot of other rich families are going overseas," providing examples to follow.What's happening is that those who can avoid the smog, especially families with children, are escaping what a recent Chinese study reportedly c alled "unlivabl e" cities like Beijing. They’re seeking permanent residency in America and Canada, and European countries Cyprus, Portugal, and the U.K.Earlier this winter I spoke with half a dozen wealthy mothers in Beijing who explained to me how pollution had some of them considering moving away. It was enlightening to hear because what the survey doesn't tell you is that the rich don’t take mov ing to another country lightly. The women explained what a hard decision it was to make. China's culture and language had them wanting to stay. But many of them were afraid for their children's health, leading them to plans to go abroad.。

高考英语满分作文范文:中国旅游

高考英语满分作文范文:中国旅游【作文范文】Tourism in ChinaRecent years have seen a tendency in China that tourism is growing faster. According to a recent survey made by some experts, about 47% urban residents travel regularly, and 28% rural residents also make their tour across the country. The survey also shows that more people are interested in tourism, and will join the army in the future.Facing this tendency, we cant help exploring some underlying factors that are responsible. In the very first place, with the policy of reform and opening up, Chinese peoples living standard has been greatly improved, and therefore, most of them can afford to travel around. Whats more, it is believed that people now take a more positive attitude to tourism, and regard it as a life style. In addition, tourism facilities are becoming better and better. For example, transportation develops fast, and many scenic spots are available now.【译文】中国旅游最近几年,在中国的趋势,旅游业增长较快。

中国游学团日益普及英语作文

The Rising Popularity of Chinese Study Tours In recent years, the phenomenon of Chinese study tours has become increasingly prevalent, as more and more students and families embrace the opportunity to explore and learn beyond the confines of their home country. These tours, which often combine cultural immersion, educational visits, and sightseeing, offer a unique way for Chinese students to broaden their horizons and deepen their understanding of the world.The popularity of these study tours can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, with the rising affluence of Chinese families, more people have the financial means to afford such trips abroad. Secondly, the Chinese government has been actively promoting international education as a way to prepare its citizens for a globalized world. Furthermore, the allure of experiencing foreign cultures and education systems provides an exciting and enriching experience for students.The benefits of Chinese study tours are numerous. For starters, they provide students with an opportunity to learn about different cultures and ways of life, whichhelps them develop a more tolerant and inclusive mindset. Additionally, these tours offer a chance to learn new languages and improve language skills, which can be invaluable in today's interconnected world. Furthermore, studying abroad can help students gain a global perspective, enabling them to understand and appreciate the diverse perspectives and viewpoints that exist in the world.Moreover, Chinese study tours often involve visits to historical and cultural landmarks, museums, and other educational institutions. These visits provide studentswith a chance to learn about the history, art, and scienceof other countries, thus broadening their knowledge base. Additionally, interacting with local students and communities can help Chinese students develop interpersonal skills and a sense of global citizenship.However, it is important to note that Chinese studytours are not without their challenges. Language barriers, cultural differences, and the stress of adapting to a new environment can all pose difficulties for students. It is therefore crucial that these tours are well-organized andinclude support systems to help students overcome these challenges and make the most of their experiences abroad.In conclusion, the rising popularity of Chinese study tours is a testament to the increasing globalization of education and the desire of Chinese families to providetheir children with a more comprehensive and diverse educational experience. These tours offer students an opportunity to broaden their horizons, develop global perspectives, and enhance their cultural understanding, making them better prepared to face the challenges of the21st century.**中国游学团日益普及**近年来,中国游学团的现象日益普及,越来越多的学生和家庭把握机会,探索和学习自己国家以外的知识。

3月高考英语考前突破 阅读理解能力 国际时事要闻 中国扩大失联客机的搜索范围 (1)

中国扩大失联客机的搜索范围China has deployed ships to search new areas for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.中国已派遣船只在新区域内搜索失联的马航客机。

China has sent nine ships to waters south-east of the Bay of Bengal and west of Indonesia.Teams from 26 countries are trying to find flight MH370, which went missing on 8 March with 239 people on board.The entire search area is now roughly the size of Australia.Malaysia says the plane, which was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, was intentionally diverted and could have flown on either a northern or southern arc from its last known position in the Malacca Straits.Investigators are looking into the possibility that the aircraft's crew - or other individuals on the plane - were involved in its disappearance.The Chinese vessels set off from Singapore early on Wednesday, to search an area of around 300,000 sq km, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.The ships would focus on waters near Sumatra, away from regions being searched by other countries, it added.'Grave fears'On Tuesday, China began searching its territory along the northern arc for the aircraft, following a request from the Malaysian authorities.However, Foreign Minister spokesman Hong Lei said on Wednesday that China had not yet found any sign that the plane entered its territory, Reuters reported.Australia is leading efforts along the southern arc in the Indian Ocean.However, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (Amsa) said on Wednesday that neither military aircraft deployed on the search, nor merchant ships trans iting through the area, had seen anything in connection to the aircraft.Rupert Wingfield-Hayes: Red tape grounds search planes"It is a challenging search operation and Amsa continues to hold grave fears for the passengers and crew on board the missing flight," Amsa said.Meanwhile, Thailand's air force said on Tuesday a re-examination of its radar data found what may have been the plane travelling west towards the Malacca Straits at 01:28 Malaysia time, shortly after it lost contact with air traffic controllers.This would be consistent with Malaysia's military radar, which spotted the plane over the Malacca Straits - the opposite direction from its planned flight path - early on 8 March.Thai air force spokesman Montol Suchookorn said that the plane did not enter Thai air space and he could not confirm whether it was flight MH370.Thai radar later spotted the plane heading north and disappearing over the Andaman Sea, AFP reported, citing the spokesman.The Thai military had previously said it had not detected any sign of the aircraft.。

高考英语 考前突破阅读理解能力 社会生活 70%中国游客

70%中国游客选择自助国外游长久以来,提到中国游客人们一定会想到这样的景象:大帮大帮的戴着红色旅游帽的游客从一辆辆吵闹的大巴里蜂拥而出。

但如果你现在还是这么想,那就过时了。

最近的一份旅游调查报告显示,如今出国旅行的中国游客中有百分之七十都会选择自助游。

Once captive to package tour groups, China's affluent(支流,富人)now seek more customized adventures overseas.For years, the prevailing image of Chinese travelers was this: masses of red-hat wearing people organized in tour groups, pouring out of big, noisy buses. But this stereotype is now out of date. According to a rec ent report from 's Chines e International Travel Monitor, 70 percent of Chinese tourists traveling abroad are now choosing to go independently.So what's behind this trend? For one, Chinese tourists these days are young: Travelers under 45 now account for 90 percent of China's market share, according to the China Tourism Academy. And while those matching hats seemed like an attractive souvenir to older generations, to a growing number of sophisticated travelers, they, and the tour groups giving them out, just seem passe."There's been a big cultural shift. This generation is embracing individuality in every aspect: 'I ch oose my own job, I choose my own boyfriend, so why not my own travel?'" says Mei Zhang, the founder of Beshan, one of the few Chinese operators offering high-end, personalized, private tours. "Media is playing a part too: On one hand, bus tours are depicted as dumb—you wouldn't see a celebrity caught dead on one of these. On the other hand, bloggers such as Gu Yue (who backpacked from Beijing to Berlin to see his girlfriend) are creating a huge amount of romantic adulation for the idea of life out on the open ro ad."Much of what made group tours appealing to previous generations no longer applies to China's savvy new urbanites(都市人). Their parents, and tourists fromless-developed parts of China, value the security that organized tours provide, especially in countries where Mandarin isn't s poken. But these new independent travelers are not nervous first-timers. They have traveled extensively before and are comfortable using foreign languages, having often studied or worked abroad."Many Chinese travelers have already outgrown the domestic tour industry," says Professor Wolfgang Georg Arlt, Director of the China Outbound Tourism Research Institute. "Most operators only offer standard tours of things they have already seen. Only a very select few are offering something more sophisticated or are catering to special interests such as wildlife watching. There have also been a lot of bad experiences with tour groups and forced shopping trips."In addition, the growth in online resources has encouraged independ ent travel. Sites such as Ctrip, Elong and Kuxun allow users to search for and book flights and hotels themselves, while others such as Qyer and Mafengwo offer free, Lonely Planet-esque practica l guides and forums that help Chines e-speakers to plan their own adventure.Meanwhile, websites such as Zanadu offer access to the kind of "aspirational accommodation" that is seen often in films, glossy magazines and billboards (think stilted private suites hovering atop the ocean in the Maldives) but is rarely offered as part of a tour itinerary. Zan Wu, the founder of Zanadu, says, "Our typical users are not necessarily super rich. They might be white collar workers making 15,000 RMB [$2,460] a month, but they'll happily spend $250 a night on a hotel. They feel comfortable about their income and their income growth in the future. They like to enjoy life."。

2021年高考英语8月考前冲破 阅读明白得能力 文化教育 北京烤鸭素材

2021年高考英语8月考前冲破 阅读明白得能力 文化教育 北京烤鸭素材

北京烤鸭How popular a delicacy is Peking duck? Popular enough to warrant an10,000 square-foot museum dedicated to it in China.北京烤鸭这道美味到底有多受欢迎?在中国有一个1万平方英尺以北京烤鸭为主题的博物馆。

It's located in the downtown Beijing branch of the restaurant chain Quanjude, which has been serving roast duck since 1864. (Not too shabby!) Among the 500 items on display are a coupon(赠券)from a 1901 duck sale and photographs of Mao Zedong chowing down(大快朵颐).Peking duck ranks high among the Chinese dishes that have made the trek(艰苦跋涉)Westward, but there's a lot to it that you may not know. We asked Ed Schoenfeld, the co-owner of Decoy, a Peking duck-themed restaurant th at opened this past spring in New York City, to help us fill in the gaps. How It's Made: Peking duck takes several days to prepare. First, fatty birds bred specifically for the dish are pumped with air to separate the skin from its meat. This insures that the "skin [is] very crispy and the meat succulent," said Schoenfeld. They're then scalded with boiling water, painted with a sweet mixture of maltose and water, and hung inside a 500-degree oven for up to 75 minutes. Only then are the ducks artfully sliced and trimmed of excess fat.What the Name Means: The dish takes its name from a now out-of-favor transliteration of "Beijing." In English, the dish is often called "Beijing duck" or simply "roast duck."Where It Comes From: The first Peking duck was roasted some time during the early 15th century, when it was a popular dish on imperial court menus of the Ming Dynasty. During this era, "the really great chefs didn't really work in restaurants," Schoenfeld said. "They worked for patrons, much in the same way as a painter or a composer had a patron in court in Renaissance Europe." These chefs helped define imperial cuisine, which in turn influenced the cuisine of the entire country.How It's Eaten: A Peking duck is often sliced tableside and served alongside cucumbers and scallions. The components are wrapped in a thin flour pancake, which is slathered with any of several savory sauces.。
