I feel honored to share my story of learning English. When I entered high school, I didn’t do well in English. Thankfully, under my teacher’s guidance, I began my journey of exploring the world of English. I was devoted to learning English, grasping every opportunity to practice. I became active in class, made great progress and above all, enjoyed all the fun of learning English. I believe nothing is impossible to a willing heart. Thanks for listening. 第二节读后续写(满分25分)One possible version:Later that afternoon, Roy and I made a special delivery to a home filled with children of all ages. I will never forget the smiles on the six kids’ faces, as they made several trips from my car carrying numerous bags of groceries inside. Surprised and excited, they couldn’t wait to talk about their Thanksgiving dinner. Meanwhile,the little one lit up at the sight of the cookies, jumping with great j oy. The parents tightly held our hands with watery eyes, “Thank you for making our day.”On that Thanksgiving Day, my entire family also shared a hearty meal with us.We had plenty to eat. We even had enough food left over for the evening meal. That afternoon, when I had time to think about what had happened, I imagined a home, not far from where I lived, where there was a mother, a father and six children sitting around the kitchen table, laughing and rejoicing. They enjoyed the same meal that our family had shared together that day. Right then I realized that miracles happen when we step out in faith and all things are possible.听力录音材料Text 1W: Excuse me.

Researchers varied the price tags placed on the sugary drinks over the eight-week study: one tag that simply said the price for the 12-ounce drink($1.52)and one that had the price and the message "Includes SF Sugary Drink Tax". All non-sugary drinks, which weren't subject to the tax, simply had the price of the drink($1.40).The researchers compared sales of the drinks during the study period to the two weeks before the study began when the sugary drink tax was in effect but there were no price tags on any drinks. Results showed sales of sugary drinks weren't lower during the two weeks, compared to sales before the tax, indicating the tax itself didn't reduce purchases of sugary drinks.The researchers then looked at the effects of the two different price tags. Results showed the share of sugary drinks purchased when the tags simply showed the price wasn't significantly different from the two-week period before the study, but did decline slightly when the tags mentioned the price included the added tax.In a separate online study, the researchers asked participants to estimate what the tax wouldbe on a can of their favorite drink that cost $1.52.The average estimate was 40 cents-much higher than the 12 cents actually demanded in San Francisco. When told the tax was only 12 cents, they reported they'd still purchase the drink.The findings suggest price tags should mention the tax but not the amount, for consumers tend to overestimate how much the tax is. "If cities want these policies to be effective, they need to regulate how sugary drinks are labeled at stores and they currently don't do that," said Donnelly, lead author of the study.4.What does the underlined word "flaw" mean in the first paragraph?A.Weakness.B.Solution.C.Imbalance.D.Evidence.5.What kind of price tags may discourage customers from buying sugary drinks?A.Price tags bearing sugar content.B.Price tags with the exact tax on them.C.Price tags saying added tax included.D.Price tags just showing the total price. 6.Which of the following may be Donnelly's suggestion?A.Stores label sugary drinks at will.B.Cancel sugary drink taxes at once.C.Publicize the impacts of sugary drinks.D.Cities urge stores to use proper price tags. 7.What might be the best title for the text?A.A New Way to Prevent FatnessB.Eating Habits and Food ConsumptionC.Sugary Drink Taxes Aren't Working WellD.Non-sugary Drinkers Benefit from New PoliciesHumans are emotional beings, showing feelings in our behavior and facial expressions. But whether these mean the same thing in different cultures has been hotly debated. Now a new study has found that in different social contexts, such as weddings, funerals and sports, people indeed show universal facial expressions.For the new study, Alan Cowen’s team used a machine learning model, Deep Neural Network (DNN), to systematically analyze facial expressions in thousands of different contexts. These contexts come from more than six million videos uploaded to YouTube by people in 144 countries.Facial expressions were rated by English speakers in India by selecting applicable emotions from a list of 31 labels, resulting in a total of 16 distinct facial expressions. Meanwhile, contexts were classified in a separate experiment. The results showed that people from different cultures share about 70% of the facial expressions used in response to different social and emotional situations.“This supports Darwin’s theory that expressing emotions in our faces is universal among humans,” the study co-lead author Dacher Keltner said. “The physical display of our emotions may define who we are as a species, enhancing our communication and cooperation skills an d ensuring our survival.”However, Lisa Barrett, from the Northeastern University College of Science notes that the English speakers in India were given the emotional word ratings rather than labeling the expressions themselves. They used emotion labels su ch as “anger” “fear” and “sadness” instead of descriptive terms, thereby inferring the emotions behind the expressions.She further comments that the raters (评定者) saw the faces in contexts which can’t necessarily be separated from the emotions themselves, and that the key point is that the raters are from just one country. “The ultimate value of Cowen and his colleagues’ study might lie not in the answers it provides,” she concludes, “but in the opportunity for further discovery that it opens up.”8.What can we learn from the text?A. The study is opposite to Darwin’s theory.B. People in different cultures show similar facial expressions.C. The team conducted the study by downloading facial expressions.D. Facial expressions and contexts were classified in the same experiment.9.How did Alan Cowen’s team conduct the study?A. By using a learning machine.B. By uploading videos to YouTube.C. By analyzing facial expressions.D. By using emotion labels.10.What can we infer from Dacher Keltner’s words?A. Social success is dependent on facial expressions.B. Facial expressions have constantly changed over time.C. Social skills reflect the ability of one’s expression management.D. Facial expressions play a vital role in humans’ development.11.What is Lisa Barrett’s attitude towards the study?A. Objective.B. Ambiguous.C. Critical.D. Contradictory.You may never know why the email will arrive and reasons offered for your rejection might be the real ones—or not. Bosses have always spied on their employees, then judged them. Now the rise of the online self means the employer’s eye can travel still farther.Even before the pandemic, research found that 28% of large companies had turned down applicants after carrying out such checks. And it is becoming more popular: Reed Screening,a large agency, was asked to run over a third more social-media checks in December this year than a year earlier. This month the government gave the practice approval when the Department for Education said schools and colleges “shou ld consider carrying out an online search as part of their due diligence (尽职调查)”.The way screening works is simple: Any “problematic” behaviours will be marked with a red flag. There are laws governing such online screening. David Erdos, head of the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law, says that companies are supposed to warn candidates before screening their social media and tell them that they have the right to hold back permission. Some companies follow these rules, but others may not. As for the right to refuse, it is hardly practicable. “Who on earth is… going to be that person who says, ‘Hang on a minute. I’m not happy about that?’” asks Mr Erdos. “That itself is likely to be a red flag.”All agree that the spread of online screening is alarming, as it is so unforgiving. People may be unable ever to be free of their online past, says Mr Erdos. As indeed some footballers, recently punished for comments made almost a decade ago when they were but teenagers, have found to their cost.Those within the industry think laws should be tightened, with punishment for illegal act. In the meantime, being very careful is advisable. In talks to university students, Mr Erdos warns them what companies will do to their social media when they apply for j obs. “They are universally terrified,” he says. And rightly.12.What can we know about online screening from Paragraph 2?A. It is turned down by large companies.B. It boosts the development of education.C. It is becoming increasingly acceptable.D. It highlights the wisdom of employers.13.What do applicants tend to do with online screening?A. They reject the red flags.B. They have to submit to it.C. They will charge the company.D. They postpone carrying it out.14.What is Mr Erdos’ opinion on postin g comments online?A. Companies are tolerant of it.B. Its influence is hard to erase.C. It should be under strict laws.D. University students are free to do it. 15.What could be a suitable title for the text?A. Big Employer Is Watching YouB. Fix Your Eyes on Online ScreeningC. Social-media Checks Are Around the CornerD. Checks Online Are to Blame for Unemployment二、七选五16.Technology has changed our lives and reshapes the way we live. Some of us love it and some of us are frustrated (懊恼的) with it. This is clear as most of us are guilty of being addicted to the Internet and social media.①_______Technology has created a whole new world and brought endless opportunities.The invention of airplanes, ships and spacecraft always allows people to visit other countries and even other planets. As long as we follow the laws of immigration, we can go to any country we like.②_______In addition, technology is also used by a large number of teachers to improve their teaching.

Nowadays, instead of paying attention to the conversation we are having face to face, we just take the phone. We are distracted by sm artphones and technology in general. But we can’t blame technology. We should not blame ourselves, either.⑤_______Indeed, technology is addictive, but our focus shouldn’t be on phones or computers, but on people and face-to-face conversations.A. This gives students flexibility.B. What we need to do is to find some balance.C. This makes it easy for students to make progress.D. Nevertheless, we have seen some benefits of technology.E.

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

English as a Foreign LanguageWho taught you to speak English? Your parents, while you were a young child? Your teachers at school? Perhaps even the BBC as a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidly becoming a truly global language.There are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language, and about the same number who have learnt it inaddition to their mother tongue. There are said to be one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures? Or should we worry about the dangersof“mono-culturalism”, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music?Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? On the contrary, I would have thought-although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India(where many of them speak at least some English)and Pakistan(the same situation with India). . .If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonald’s burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant(占主导地位的), will it kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we receive d a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it’s like a rose, ”he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of rose? ”Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that’s fine by me.【文章大意】作者以独特的视角分析了英语的进展前景和人们的种种顾虑。

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

According to historical documents, the forefathers of the Naxi people were closely related to a tribe called “Maoniu Yi” in the Han Dynasty,“Maoniu Yi” in the Jin Dynasty and “Moxie Yi” in t he Tang Dynasty.Between the early 10th century and the middle of the 13th century, production in the Lijiang area experienced marked changes, as agriculture replaced livestock (家畜)breeding as the main occupation of the people. Scores of agricultural, handicraft, mineral and livestock products were turned out, and the country presented a picture of prosperity. During that period, a number of slave­owning groups in Ninglang,Lijiang and Weixi counties gradually grew into a feudal manorial lord caste(世袭封建庄园领主制).In 1278 the Yuan Dynasty established Lijiang Prefecture(自治州)representing the imperial court in Yunnan Province. This resulted in closer links between the Lijiang area and the centre of the empire.In the early Ming Dynasty, the leader of the Naxi people,named Mude, was made chief of Lijiang Prefecture, exercising control over the Naxi and other ethnic groups nearby. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the chiefs from the Mu family kept taxes and tribute(贡品)flowing to the Ming court in the form of silver and grain. The Ming, in turn, relied on the Mu family as the mainstay for the control of the people of various ethnic groups in northwestern Yunnan Province.Later, with the development of the productive forces, buying, selling and renting of land began to take place in the Naxi areas,marking the beginning of a landlord economy.1.In the 12th century, the main occupation probably be ________.A.livestock breeding B.agricultureC.fishing D.forestry答案:B 从文章第二段第一句可知,10世纪早期至13世纪中期丽江经济经历了重大变化,也就是“agriculture replaced livestock breeding”。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解A study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important. These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion(万亿)connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern"A-B-B". Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. T he images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the" A-B-B" pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order. Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar." Position is key to language," she says. "If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: John caught the bear.' is very different from 'The bear caught John.'”Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones-no matter how educational-doesn't appear to be enough for children's brain development. They carried out a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group who'd watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies-regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio-learned nothing.(1)What makes connections in a baby's brain?A. Having a higher IQ.B. Experiencing new information.C. The baby' early age.D. The connection with other babies.(2)What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?A. Babies identify different sound patterns.B. Word order is relevant to meaning.C. Babies can well understand different words.D. A certain brain region processes language.(3)What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?A. Grammar is important in learning languages.B. Different orders have different meanings.C. Different languages have different grammar.D. Words have different sounds.(4)What is the main conclusion from the study led by Patricia Kuhl?A. Babies shouldn't watch a lot of television.B. Listening to different languages develops babies' brain.C. Foreign languages help babies' brain develop.D. Social communication improves babies' brain development.【答案】(1)B(2)A(3)B(4)D【解析】【分析】本文属于科普文章,介绍小孩最初几年的经历对大脑发育很重要,而媒介输入对孩子大脑发育效果不明显,最有效的是面对面语言输入。

They Just Can't Help ItMy theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy —the ability to understand other people —and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems. ________ For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines that feature computers and sport.You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case. A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mobile. ________ It has also been observed that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people's feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions. ________ People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also male-chosen disciplines. Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons (神经) that connect the right and left part of their brains. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men. ________ Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender (性别) is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses. ________ It is not true. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist, and why they are there.A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.B. Their preference for building systems may change over time.C. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time.E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.F. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological.G. Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.【答案】 A;F;C;D;G【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,阐述男性与女性差异各有优缺点。

保定市最新版高考英语阅读理解专题练习(及答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part-drivers.DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had its brake lock up in the starting area. Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The "winner," if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire."You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things," says Reinhold Behringer, who helped design two of the car-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonics. "Even ants (蚂蚁) can do all these tasks effortlessly. It's very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines."The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there's a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.(1)Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because_____.A. they did not have any human guidanceB. the road was not familiar to the driversC. the distance was too long for the vehiclesD. the prize money was unattractive to the drivers(2)DARPA organized the race in order to_____.A. raise money for producing more robotic vehiclesB. push the development of vehicle industryC. train more people to drive in the desertD. improve the vehicles for future wars(3)From the passage we know "robotic vehicles" are a kind of machines that _____.A. can do effortlessly whatever tasks living thing canB. can take part in a race across 142 miles with a time limitC. can show off their ability to turn themselves upside downD. can move from place to place without being driven by human beings(4)In the last paragraph, the writer implies that there is a long way to go______.A. for a robotic vehicle to finish a 142-mile race without any difficultiesB. for a little child who has just learned to walk to reach the cookie on the tableC. for a robotic vehicle to deal with a simple problem that a little child can solveD. for a little child to understand the importance of wiping apple juice off its face【答案】(1)A(2)D(3)D(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了DARPA组织一次汽车越野比赛,目的是想改进未来战场上的机器人汽车,并介绍了这些机器汽车的优点和缺点。

Who Owns the Moon?Within the next ten years, the U. S. , China, Israel, and a crowd ofprivate companies plan to set up camp on the moon. So if and when theyplant a flag, does that give them property(财产)rights?A NASA working group hosted a discussion this week to ask: Whoowns the moon? The answer, of course, is no use. The Outer Space Treaty,the international law signed by more than 100 countries, states that themoon and other celestial bodies(天体)are the province of all mankind. No doubt that would annoy all of the people throughout the ages, like monks from the Middle Ages, who have tried to claim the moon was theirs.But ownership is different from property rights. People who rent apartments, for example, don’t own where they live, but they still hold rights. So with all of the upcoming missions(派遣团)to visit the moon and beyond, space industry thought leaders are seriously asking themselves how to deal with a potential land rush.“This is a very relevant discussion right now. We’ve got this wave of new lunar missions from around the world, ”said William Marshall, a scientist in the small-spacecraft office at NASA, but who spoke this week at an event hosted by NASA’s Co Lab, a collaborative(协力完成的)public-private working group. He was speaking from his personal interest and not on behalf of the agency.To be sure, the United States aims to send astronauts back to the moon by as early as 2021, in a mission that would include a long-term settlement. China and Israel, among others, are also working on lunar projects. And for the first time, several private groups are building spacecraft to land on the moon in an attempt to win millions of dollars in the Google Lunar X Prize. Some participants say that they plan to gain some property rights in the mission. 【文章大意】本文介绍了世界范围内的登陆月球热, 以及作者对这种现象的担忧。

Increa sed use of the Internet and mobile pho nes is undermining pupils’ ability for independent study and promoting poor grammar, itwas claimed.Cranfield School of Managementfound almostsix in ten schoolchildrenwere copying informationdirectlyfrom websites for homework tasks withoutproperly reading it.More than a quarter thought it was an acceptable practice,even though they know it was considered plagiarism(剽窃).The study, based on a sample of around 260 pupils aged from 11 to 18 at a secondary school in the Midlands, raised concerns that modern technology was having a destructive effect on young people.Andrew Kakabadse, professor of international management development at Cranfield, said, “Our research shows that technology obsession(痴迷)prevents spelling skills, encourages plagiarism, and disturbs classroom learning. ”“Despite school policies restricting mobile phone usage, students use the phone frequently, with the majority making calls from the toilets. The mobile phone continues t o be a main channel of social communication during the school day. ”The report revealed that so-called“text-speak”was increasingly finding it was into pupils’ school work.Three in ten students admit to using text message shortcuts, such as“r u ok”in essays and classroom tasks.It followed a study earlier this year that found almost half of the teachers failed to understand some pupils’ writing because it was so full of confusing language. Phrases such as“innit”and“Gr8”were regularly found in school work.The Cranfield study found that mobile use was so common that many pupils chose to ignore school rules on phones.More than a third said they would use their mobile in class, while nearly three quarters said they would not even make an excuse to leave class to answer a phone call.【文章大意】使用互联网和手机的学生越来越多了。

一、高中英语任务型阅读1.任务型阅读Good learners can inspire students or anybody to learn well. Here are some characteristics of good learners.Good learners are curious. They wonder about all sorts of things, often about knowledge beyond their areas of expertise(专长)________ Finding out about something they didn't know satisfies them for the moment, but their curiosity is addictive.Good learners don't give up easily. A few things may come easily to learners but most knowledge arrives after effort________ They try to search out new information. They read, analyze, and evaluate the information they've found. Then they study more and work at what they don't understand.Good learners know that a lot of learning isn't fun. The journey to understanding generally isn't all that exciting________ Others need a tiresome attention to detail, and still others need periods of intense mental focus. Your backs hurt, your arms and legs get tired, and your coffee gets cold. ________ There's always more to know. Good learners are never satisfied with how much they know about anything. They are pulled around by questions—the ones they still can't answer, or the ones without very good answers. Those questions follow them like day follows night with the answers bringing daylight.Good learners share what they've learned. Good learners are teachers committed to sharing with others what they've learned________Good learners can also explain what they know in ways that make sense to others. They are connected to the knowledge passed on to them and committed to leaving what they've learned with others.A. Good learners stay positive.B. They write about it, and talk about it.C. They love the discovery part of learning.D. Good learners never run out of questions.E. Some knowledge can broaden our views.F. Good learners are willing to put in the time.G.

Maggie was very glad that James was not a frequent visitor to the house. So far as the children were concerned, they had a mystery about him that stirred their imagination. He stirred Maggie’s anger, however, so that she often said to her husband, “It’s mercy that brother of yours doesn’t come oftener.”In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight o’clock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Instead, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her.Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James’s voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was mean. He always went home by the last train, just after two o’clock. Maggie’s children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mother’s words, “lost two wives and taken a third, ” They wondered about those two unfortunate lost ladies.

It was that “there’s penguins everywhere.”More than a thousand Gentoo penguins live on this tiny island on the western side of the Antarctic peninsula (半岛), around the size of a soccer field. Since 1944, when the UK’s first permanent Antarctic base was established here, it’s also become a shelter for explorers, scientists and — in recent years — tourists.Each year, a team is selected to run and maintain the site from November to March, or summertime in the southern hemisphere. Around 4,000 people applied for this job, but just four made the cut: Ballantyne, base leader Lucy Bruzzone, wildlife monitor Mairi Hilton and shop manager Natalie Corbett.The job also involves counting penguins: The scientific data they gather on the Gentoos’ breeding patterns is part of a decades-long study of the colony.When it comes to choosing candidates, “there is no recipe we can follow,” says Ballantyne. “It’s about your ability to work together as a team. Cheeriness goes a long way, being able to see the light in life and resolve problems quickly.”Ballantyne notes that there has been “a bit of a decline in recent years in the breedingsuccess” of the Gentoo penguins, but says “the causal connect ion is the tricky bit.” While climate change is probably “the biggest driver,” they also need to carefully examine if there’s a “human element” as well. In her opinion, Antarctica tourism has boomed significantly in the past couple of decades, but there aren’t legally enforced limits on tourism, which hopes to be a regulated industry.4.What is the task of the all-woman team?A.Making out all the living habits of penguins.B.Serving as postmasters andenvironmentalists.C.Designing stamps linked to the Antarctic peninsula.D.Managing a post officeincluding counting penguins.5.What do we know about Goudier Island?A.It’s situated on the eastern side of the Antarctic peninsula.B.Some scientists use it as a soccer field in their spare time.C.It’s fit for man to study the Antarctic and live temporarily.D.The number of the penguins on it has risen sharply.6.What kind of women can be chosen as a team member?A.Being optimistic, competent and cooperative.B.Being sensitive, courageous and determined.C.Being hardworking, modest and empathetic.D.Being independent, elegant and generous.7.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Climate change leads to the decline of penguins.B.Polar tourism desires for improved management.C.Humans and penguins live in peace in the Antarctic.D.Antarctica tourism hasinfluenced climate change.Robots have learned to drive on Mars, carry out brain surgery and defeat grandmaster chess players. But when it comes to baking, making tasty desserts is far from a piece of cake. But after multiple failed attempts, US researchers have successfully 3D printed a cherry cheesecake.The sorry-looking flan resembles a slice of cottage pie, topped with blancmange. Nevertheless, scientists are hopeful that once mastered, 3D printing could replaceconventional cooking, allowing food to be tailored to nutritional needs of children, athletes or those on dietary restrictions.“We have an enormous problem with the low-nutrient value of processed foods,” said Professor Christen Cooper of Pace University Nutrition and Dietetics. “3D food printing will still turn out processed foods, but perhaps the silver lining will be, for some people, better control and tailoring of personalised nutrition. It may also be useful in making food more appealing to those with swallowing disorders by mimicking the shapes of real foods with the mashed texture foods that these patients require.”In the latest experiment, researchers tried various cheesecake designs, consisting of seven key ingredients: a biscuit base, peanut butter, Nutella, banana puree, strawberry jam, cherry drizzle, and frosting. In early attempts, which involved simply layering up the ingredients, the team found that the cake quickly disintegrated, with jam and peanut butter leaking out onto the work bench.They discovered through trial and error that a more architectural solution was needed. Walls of biscuit base were required throughout the cake to hold the softer ingredients inside, while internal triangular biscuit supports were necessary to keep the cake upright.“The study highlights that printed food dishes will likely require novel ingredient compositions and structures, due to the different way by which the food is assembled,” said Cooper. “Much work is still needed to collect data, model, and optimize these processes.”But the team said that laser cooking and 3D printing could allow chefs to create entirely new food experiences, with flavors and textures placed with millimetre precision. And, because the system uses targeted light for very localized cooking, it could save energy unlike ovens or hobs which heat a large area.8.Why are robots mentioned in the first paragraph?A.To compare to find the advantages of robots.B.To show how to use robots to make cakes.C.To introduce the topic of 3D printed food.D.To prove 3D printers are better than robots.9.What do we know about the 3D-printed cherry cheesecake?A.It is designed to replace all processed foods.B.It may help some people with special needs.C.It looks more attractive than ordinary ones.D.It is appealing to children havingsweet teeth.10.What does Cooper mean in the sixth paragraph?A.Present 3D printed food are not perfect now.B.3D printing technology needsimproving.C.Printed food dishes will be forbidden.D.Swallowing disorders will disappear. 11.What is the main idea of the passage?A.It’s time to save energy using 3D printers.B.Without 3D printer the world would be less colorful.C.3D printed food will make chefs out of work in future.D.3D-printed cheesecakes predict ‘personalized nutrition’.The ability to track animals and plants is up in the air — literally — thanks to help from an unexpected source.Around the globe, many air quality control stations filter air through small paper disks on a daily or weekly basis, allowing scientists to ensure concentrations of hazardous pollutants such as heavy metals are below certain levels. But the filters also pick up plant and animal DNA having been scattered into the wind.The eDNA, short for environmental DNA, on those filters could make air quality control stations a treasure house of samples cataloging local animals and plants. Such records could help researchers track biodiversity at a larger scale and more easily catch species declines or track how ecosystems are changing overall.“We’re effectively piggybacking on it for a totally new use,” says Elizabeth Clare, a molecular ecologist at York University.“It never occurred to us that these filters capturing particulate matter could even be analyzed for eDNA,” says James Allerton, an air quality scientist in England. That changed when Allerton read a news story about two studies where scientists vacuumed animal DNA out of thin air at two zoos, one in England — led by Clare — and another in Denmark.Learning about the potential for capturing eDNA sparked a “light bulb moment,” Allerton says, and he reached out to Clare to collaborate.Clare, Allerton and colleagues analyzed filters from the Teddington facility that were exposed to surrounding air for one hour, one day or one week. The team also examined eight-month-old filters from an air quality control station in Scotland that had each beenexposed to air for a week.Genetic material in the filters revealed the presence of more than 180 different types of local animal groups including pine trees, badgers, owls, fungi and news. That volume is surprising given that the filters and storage conditions weren’t set up with eDNA in mind. That the researchers recovered so much eDNA from a system designed to monitor air quality shows how prevalent airborne DNA is and how much biodiversity data could be up for grabs. 12.What were air quality control stations used to do?A.Concentrate on effects of animals on climate.B.Track the categories of animals and plants.C.Study the links between man and animals.D.Purify air by decreasing pollutants in it.13.How does James Allerton react to the technology of capturing eDNA?A.He felt doubtful and hesitant to use it.B.He felt useful but reluctant to admit it.C.He felt unimaginable but ready to accept it.D.He felt amazed but refused to have an attempt.14.Which word can replace the underlined word “prevalent” in the last paragraph?A.Common.B.Favourable.C.Understanding.D.Ambiguous. 15.What is the best title for the passage?A.eDNA Technology Proves a Big Success in Air DetectionB.Air Pollution Monitoring May Help Track BiodiversityC.Tracking Evolution of Living Things Benefits eDNAD.Air Pollutants are Found in Animals and PlantsFlight disruptions have periodically made it difficult for people to reach their destinations. Here are three of the biggest potential flight disruptors and what you can do about them:★ How could the weather disrupt flights this summer?Wild weather can hinder air travel, whether it’s an Arizona monsoon storm or a hurricane over the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. That can affect whether your flight is delayed or canceled. 16 Extreme climate conditions also can disrupt air travel, as the Canadian wildfires demonstrated recently.▶Tip: If bad weather is expected, monitor the conditions in your flight path and takeadvantage of airline offers to reschedule without change fees. Download your airline’s app and enable notifications. 17★ Is a pilot strike likely this summer?In May, American Airlines and Southwest Airlines pilots’ unions voted to authorize strikes. While it appears unlikely that pilots will strike at either airline, a work stoppage could be a problem. The votes by the American and Southwest pilots’ unions to authorize a strike don’t necessarily mean a strike will happen. 18 A strike wouldn’t happen unless negotiations between the unions and the airlines’ management break down.▶Tip: There is no reason to panic. If a strike appears likely, travelers can monitor the situation and consider switching to another airline.★ What if my airline has a computer meltdown?Southwest Airlines experienced two nationwide computer outages last year. 19 Southwest conducted an internal review of its technology and began implementing a three-part action plan to address service disruptions from computer glitches, including fast-tracking operational investments.▶Tip: When issues emerge at the airport, technological and otherwise, the best thing people can do is to be patient. Read your airline’s policy on compensation for canceled flights.20 The more patient that passengers can be, the better it will make everything smoother as they try to fix everything.A.And don’t forget to advocate for yourself.B.In that way you don’t miss updates and offers.C.But technology hasn’t always been up to the task.D.And that can determine how smooth your plane ride is.E.The votes are routine steps in their contract negotiations.F.They can get overloaded because of helping to ease people’s stress.G.That was a symptom of operating on outdated computer infrastructures.二、完形填空Exploring the peaks of the world’s highest mountains has become almost second nature for Poorna Malavath and Kavya Manyapu. It has taken Manyapu to NASA where her research has included designing 21 suits, and Malavath to the top of Mount Everestwhen in 2014, she became the youngest ever woman to 22 the top of the world’s highest mountain at 13.Now, these two women have channeled their 23 spirit into climbing some of the world’s most difficult mountain s as part of their campaign, Project Shakthi, which 24 money to fun d girls’ education.

So it was very challenging.And for a relatively 33 climber like Manyapu, though she had trained extensively, the challenges were even greater.“When we were in the 34 , we would talk about: ‘What if, you know, we won’t be able to make it to the summit, you know, what if this?

Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month.________One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. ________ We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons (神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day.________Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right.________ The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononi's theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night's, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. ________ “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.B. It's as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C. That's why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.D. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.E. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.F. Tononi's team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.G. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.【答案】 D;C;G;F;B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。

河北省保定市2016高考英语阅读理解选练(7)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Millions of sports lovers are sill thinking about one thing----the Winter Olympics in Sochi Russia. close to 2900 men and women competed in the 2014 Winter Games about a month ago.The Olympics brought a lot of attention to Sochi,a city on the black Sea, which is a popular area for vacation travelers. The area is known for its mild winters,with warm to summer.At least $50 billion was spent on the 2014 Winter Games, making it the costliest Olympics in history. Seven billion dollars was spent on the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada. Olympic officials chose Sochi to host the 2014 games almost seven years ago, At that time,Russian President Vladimir Putin said the games would cost about $13 billion. Yet times his estimate. So where did all the money go?Some observers say the high cost is partly the result of security measures. Brian Jenkins,a terrorism expert from the RAND Corporation,gave the following explanation. 'There were anywhere between 70 ,000 and 100 , 000 policemen and military troops deployed around the city.The main threat came from separatist and Islamist groups from the North Caucasus, especially from Chechnya and Dagestan. One group claimed responsibility for two suicide bombings in Volgograd last December. The attacks killed more than 30 people. The city is only about 600 kilometers away from Sochi.Bruce Hoffman is a terrorism export from Georgetown University in Washington DC. He says the increased security made Sochi a difficult target for terrorists.It is thought that the terrorists' intention was to make life difficult for the Russians and to create some sort of incident that would take away the enjoyment.The last Olympians from around the world on Russian soil was in 1980 .That was a year after Soviet troops invaded Afghanistan. More than sixty countries didn’t take part in the Moscow Summer Games to show their anger.1. According to the passage, why did the Sochi Winter Olympics cost so much?A. Because it was held at an area popular for vacation travelers.B. Becauae the Russian government wanted to make it the best ever held.C. Because security measures at Sochi were stricter than before.D. Because the original plan was made 7 years before.2. It can be known from the passage that Bruce Hoffman wasA. a terrorism expert from the USAB.the writer who wrote this articleC. an athlete who competed in SochiD. a terrorism expert from RAND Corporation3. Which of the following is false?A. Sochi Olympics cost about 4 times as estimated.B. Next winter Olympics will be held in Vancouver.C. Many countries refused. to attend the 1980 Olympics.D.Security is often a problem in international sport games.4. The terrorists might have attacked Sochi Olympics becauseA. they wanted to make trouble for the RussiansB.they thought Russia shouldn't spend so much on sportC. they thought Putin was not a nice presidentD. they were not interested in winter sports【参考答案】1--4、CABA【2012江西省九江市】TODAY, Friday, November 12JAZZ with the Mike Thomas Jazz Band at The Derby Arms.Upper Richmond Road West, Sheen.DISCO Satin Sounds Disco.Free at The Lord Napier, Mort lake High St., from 8a.m.to 8p.m.Tel: 682—158.SATURDAY, November 13JAZZ Lysis at The Bull' s Head, Bames.Admission 60p.MUSICAL HALL at The Star and Garter, Lower Richmond Road, Putney, provided by the Aba Daba Music Hall company.Good food and entertainment fair price.Tel: 789—749.FAMILY night out?
