The French word renaissance means rebirth.It was first used in 1855 by the historian Jules Michelet in his History of France,then adopted by historians of culture,by art historians,and eventually by music historians,all of whom applied it to European culture during the 150 years spanning 1450-1600.The concept of rebirth was appropriate to this period of European history because of the renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture that began in Italy and then spread throughout Europe.Scholars and artists of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries wanted to restore the learning and ideals of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome.To these scholars this meant a return to human—as opposed to spiritual values.Fulfillment in life—as opposed to concern about an afterlife—became a desirable goal,and expressing the entire range of human emotions and enjoying the pleasures of the senses were no longer frowned on.Artists and writers now turned to secular(不朽的)as well as religious subject matter and sought to make their works understandable and appealing.These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance period—how people thought about music as well as the way music was composed,experienced,discussed,and circulated.They could see the architectural monuments,sculptures(雕塑),plays,and poems that were being rediscovered,but they could not actually hear ancient music—although they could read the writings of classical philosophers,poets,essayists,and music theorists that were becoming available in translation.They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect.For example,the influential religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment with the learned music of his time.He urged musicians to follow the example of the sculptors,painters,architects,and scholars who had rediscovered ancient art and literature.The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general cultural movement and state of mind than a specific set of musical techniques.Furthermore,music changed so rapidly during this century and a half—though at different rates in different countries—that we cannot define a single Renaissance style.36.What is the passage mainly about?A.The musical compositions that best illustrate the developments during the European Renaissance.B.The musical techniques that were in use during the European Renaissance.C.The European Renaissance as a cultural development that included changes in musical style.D.The ancient Greek and Roman musical practices used during the European Renaissance.37.The underlined word “now” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________. A.1855B.the period of the RenaissanceC.tile time of the classical civilizations of Greece and RomeD.the time at which the author wrote the passage38.It can be inferred from the passage that thinkers of the Renaissance were seeking a rebirth of ________.A.spirituality in everyday lifeB.communication among artists across EuropeC.a cultural emphasis on human valuesD.religious themes in art that would accompany the traditional secular themes39.What can be inferred about the music of ancient Greece and Rome? A.Its effect on listeners was described in a number of classical texts. B.It was played on instruments that are familiar to modern audiences. C.It expressed more different ideals than classical sculpture,painting and poetry.D.It had the same effect on Renaissance audiences as it had when originally performed.40.According to the passage,why was Bernardino Cirillo disappointed with the music of his time?A.It did not contain enough religious themes.B.It had little emotional impact on audiences.C.It was not complex enough to appeal to musicians.D.It was too dependent on the art and literature of his time.36.C [主旨大意题。

Historians usually just study great things that happened in the past time, but Drew Faust has made history! On February 11, xx, Faust was named president of Harvard University. She is the first woman to hold the position in the school’s 371-year history.“I am a hist orian,” she said. “I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the past, and about how it shapes the future. No university in the country, perhaps the world, has as remarkable a past as Harvard’s.”“And our mo n ente rprise is to make Harvard’s future even more remarkable than its past. That will mean recognizing and building on what we already do well. It will also mean recognizing what we don’t do as well as we should, and not being satisfied until we find ways to do better.”It is her great desire for improvement and willingness to try out new ideas that have given Drew success in a world controlled by men. “This is a man’s world, my girl, and the sooner you learn that, the better off you’ll be.” Drew Faust recalls her mother telling her this when she was young, but she didn’t buy it.Faust grew up in a well-off family in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley in the 1950s. Even then, she was a trailblazer(先驱). A conversation with her family’s black handyman (零工) and driver inspired her to write a letter, on school notebook paper, to President Dwight Eisenhower.She asked that he help bring US citizens together in the south, a much divided part of the country at the time.“Drew Faus t is a historian w ith her eyes on the future,” said Susan Graham, a professor of Harvard. Many of the university’s schools said that they believe Harvard will have a brighter future under the leadership of Drew Faust.1. Why does the writer say Drew Faust has made history?A. Because she is a historian.B. Because she was president of Harvard University.C. Because she was the first woman to be president of Harvard University.D. Because Harvard has a remarkable past2. What do we know about historians?A. They usually study great things that happened in the past.B. They are usually presidents of universities.C. They are usually born in well-off families.D. They are usually women.3. What does the underlined word “buy” in the fourth paragraph mean?A. acceptB. expectC. purchaseD. afford4. What did her m other mean by saying “This is a man’s world, my girl...”?A. To encourage her to do man’s work.B. To tell her to do things as a girl should do.C. To ask her to be well-off.D. To expect her to be a historian.5. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Faust was born in the north of the US.B. She wrote a letter to President Eisenhower when she became president of Harvard.C. Faust’s d esire for improvement and willingness to try out new ideas has given her success.D. Historians just care about great things that happened in the past.【参考答案】1—5、CAABC阅读理解练习阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

The old shopkeeper led me through to the back of the shop.The room was filled with boxes andphotographs of people dressed in old-fashioned clothes,holding packages in their hands.“Who are these-people?”I asked.“Satisfied customers,”answered young Mr. Hopkins.“We have a very wide choice of items forsale.Whenever I serve a new customer, I always take their picture.”Mr. Hopkins pointed to an ancientcamera standing next to one wall.“Now, how can I serve you?”he added. By this time,I had started to trust Mr. Hopkins and had begun to appreciate the lovely items onsale. I needed to buy Christmas presents for my family and friends,and this seemed to be the perfectplace to purchase them.I spent a very pleasant hour being shown the commodities in Mr. Hopkins’shop.No matter what I asked for, Mr. Hopkins found it for me.Finally, I bought an antique jewelry box,a pairof riding boots,a leather-bound edition of the Complete Works of Mark Twain, and a sewing machine.I was very excited that I had found such a good little shop.I promised Mr. Hopkins that l wouldcome back soon. “I will tell all my friends about your lovely place,”I told the shopkeeper.“Please do not do that, sir" , said Mr. Hopkins.“This is a special place for special people.You mustkeep this shop a secret.” Then he took my photograph and handed me the picture straight away.“That was quick!”I exclaimed.I looked at the photograph.In the picture I looked proud and excited holding the presents I had bought in Mr. Hopkins’dusty shop.On Christmas Day, my friends and relatives were delighted with the presents I had bought for them.For weeks.my brother begged me to show him where to find this wonderful little shop.I finally agreed to take him to London to show him.When we arrived in London,we walked along Oxford Street,past the department store andFound nothing.The little shop was no longer there.In its place was an empty space being used as a carpark.I checked the area again。

考点分类练(六) 推理判断题——文章出处类Passage1(2022安徽宣城二模)Have you ever found picking out the face of a friend in a group photo is sometimes hard,especially when everyone crowds together?In the same way,it can also be hard to read a passage of text when the letters are too close together.In fact,a new study shows that spacing the letters farther apart can help anyone readfaster,and possibly understand more.Dyslexia is a common reading disorder.Crowded text was especially difficult for people with dyslexia to read.So researchers wanted to see if increasing the spacing between letters would help.Steven Stagg,a scientist,studies how people think and learn.His team recruited 59 students between 11 and 15 years old,thirty-two of whom had dyslexia.While the researchers recorded them,each student read two passages out loud.One passage was in its original format.In the other,there was an increase of 2.5 points in the spacing between the letters.The recording allowed the scientists to measure their reading speed and count any mistakes,such as skipped words.People with dyslexia often employ aids to help them read,such as coloredoverlays(覆盖物).This time they are offered by the researchers.Those colored overlays didn’t help either group of kids.But the extra spacing did.Kids with dyslexia read the wider-spaced text 13 percent faster than the text with original spacing.These kids also made fewer mistakes.Students without dyslexia read faster,too,although only by 5 percent.This is very good news.It means teachers and publishers can print material with extra spacing between letters.Readers with dyslexia won’t feel singled out by havingto use special aids for reading.An organization called Readability Matters is working on these issues.The group is trying to get tech companies to make changes that should make reading easier.Stagg says,“Some methods have shown mixed results,but letter spacing seems to be the one thing that everyone is finding works.”1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A.To make the article interesting.B.To present a common problem.C.To lead to the topic of the article.D.To provide a new solution.2.What do you know about people with dyslexia?A.They may understand everything while reading wider-spaced text.B.They may read faster than normal kids while reading wider-spaced text.C.They may free from dyslexia after increasing letter spacing.D.They may feel singled out while using colored overlays for reading.3.In which column of a newspaper can we probably find this passage?A.Science study.B.Campus life.C.Star stories.D.Business.4.What is the best title for the text?A.Readers Try to Improve Reading SpeedB.You Just Need More SpaceC.Colored Overlays Are Helpful AidsD.Dyslexia Affects Reading SpeedPassage2(2022广西桂林梧州一模)The number of weather-related disasters has increased by five times over the past 50 years,the latest report by the World Meteorological(气象)Organization(WMO)said on September 1st.However,thanks to improved early warning systems and disaster management,the number of death from these hazards(危险)has been almost three times less.According to the WMO,from 1970 to 2019,weather,climate and water hazards accounted for 50 percent of all disasters.Among the top 10 hazards that led to the largest loss of human life during this period were droughts,storms,floods and extreme temperatures.However,deaths fell from over 50,000 in the 1970s to less than 20,000 in the 2010s.“Weather,climate and water extremes are increasing and will become more frequent and severe in many parts of the world as a result of climate change,” says WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.“That means more heatwaves,drought and forest fires such as those we have observed recently in Europe and North America.We have more water vapor in the atmosphere,which is worsening extreme rainfall and deadly flooding.The warming of the ocean has affected the frequency and area of existence of the most intense tropical storms.”“Economic losses are increasing as exposure increases.But behind the statistics lies a message of hope.Improved multi-hazard early warning systems have led to a significant reduction in deaths.Quite simply,we are better than ever before at saving lives,” Taalas said.5.What do we know from the first paragraph?A.Disasters connected with weather have gone up.B.The number of weather-related disasters has decreased.C.The number of deaths from hazards has been increasing.D.Early warning systems have made disasters decline much.6.What will happen according to Petteri Taalas?A.There will be more extreme weather.B.Extreme rainfall will no longer exist.C.Water vapor in the atmosphere will go down.D.Human will conquer extreme weather in the end.7.What is hopeful behind the bad news?A.Improved warning systems will save economic losses.B.Economic losses are going down as exposure increases.C.More lives will be saved thanks to early warning systems.D.Improved early warning systems will control extreme weather.8.Where may the text be taken from?A.A novel.B.A brochure.C.A guideline.D.A magazine.Passage3(2022广西南宁二模)In order to get rid of goldenrod from the city,the government of Wuhan is encouraging residents to report any findings of the plant,which is classified as a harmful alien species.Goldenrod is one of the most successful and widespread alien plant species.It is often referred to as “the flower of the devil”,as it spreads extremely fast and causes other plants to die.Besides Hubei province,the plant has also been found expanding in other provinces such as Jiangxi and Zhejiang.Although local authorities have tried to get rid of the plant,it is proving to be a difficult task.Goldenrod represents just one of the alienspecies that are aggressive towards the country’s native species.Statistics showthat by 2020,nearly 800 kinds of alien species had invaded the country,among which 638 species have invaded the country’s agricultural and forestry ecosystems,causing direct economic losses of about 200 billion yuan($31.36 billion).At the United Nations Biodiversity Conference held in Kunming,Yunnan province,the invasion of alien species was the subject of discussions,as it was regarded as one of the two most important factors leading to the loss of biodiversity,the other being human-caused ecological damage.China passed its Biosecurity Law on April 15,2021,which provides the legal basis for preventing the invasion of alien species and protecting biodiversity in the country.The relevant departments also strictly carry out port inspections and quarantines so as to keep harmful organisms out of the country,and they strengthen early warning and monitoring systems so as to address the invasion as early as possible.However,while government departments are making every effort to prevent and control the situation,the participation of the people should not be ignored.It is also necessary,as Wuhan is doing,to encourage people to pay attention to invasive species and actively play a role in keeping them at bay.Preventing any invasion by an alien species and protecting biodiversity should not just be the government departments fighting alone,but also a people’s war.9.What can we learn about goldenrod from the text?A.It originates in Wuhan.B.It does harm to people’s health.C.It is a great threat to the surrounding plants.D.It causes an economic loss of about $31.36 billion.10.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A.China’s efforts to stop the invasion of alien species.B.Relevant departments’ warning of goldenrod.C.The legal basis to protect biodiversity.D.The importance of port inspections and quarantines.11.What do the underlined words “keeping them at bay” in the last paragraph mean?A.Keeping the invasive species out of the country.B.Building some barriers for the species.C.Preventing the flowers from growing fast.D.Keeping the alien species safe at the port.12.In which section of a newspaper can this text be found?A.Business.B.Culture.C.Environment.D.Opinion.考点分类练(六) 推理判断题——文章出处类Passage1【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

More than half(53 percent)have breakfast alone and nearly half(46 percent)have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore, 74 percent, according to statistics from the report."I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know?" Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. "Today, I just wanted some time to myself," she said.Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction(交流). "I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week," he said. "It's a chance for self-reflection, You return to work recharged and with a plan."That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. "It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology," said Laurie Demeritt, whose company provided the statistics for the report.28. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?A. Food variety.B. Eating habits.C. Table manners.D.Restaurant service.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.___16___ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it.

They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. ___17___Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.__18___ They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “___19___ Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. ___20___A.

It's quite impressive to see Canada geese flying into the clouds. They live to be around 25 years old and are very loyal. They never forget their first home. No one knows this more than my family.In 2000, when I was seven, my parents and I came back from a T-ball game one late spring afternoon. To our surprise, two adult geese and a baby goose were in our driveway (车库前的私人车道).The adults were shocked by us and flew away, but their baby was too young to fly and couldn't follow. We are no strangers to the ways of wildlife, so we knew to avoid contact with the baby, hoping he could join his parents.Hours passed, and night fell. The tiny little thing was wandering around our yard, unaware of what could happen. It was clear that the baby needed protection, warmth, and food to make it to the morning, so we brought him onto our back porch (门廊)and set up a wire fence to enclose and protect him.We all pretty much slept with one eye open till morning. And then another morning. And another. Each day, we tried eagerly to get the baby back to his parents, who kept coming to our yard. He wouldn't go to them, though, and they wouldn't come close enough to claim him. The baby goose had clearly decided we were his new family and we gave him a name - Peeper, because he would follow us around the yard making a peeping (唧唧叫)noise, nonstop.Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, until almost a year passed. Peeper slept on our back porch in typical goose fashion. Every day, my dad would clear his droppings with water and throw him up into the air, so he could fly a loop around the house, coming back again once the porch was clean.Paragraph 1:One evening, my uncle was over, and my dad wanted to show him Peeper's loop._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________Paragraph 2:It came as a shock 20 years later when an aging adult goose made his way back to my yard. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________二、(2021·广东东莞·高一阶段练习)阅读下面材料。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校阅读理解九月选练(6)AIf you didn't look at them, they weren't there, right? On seeing those in rags on the corner, I only wanted the light to turn green fast enough so that I wouldn't have to keep pretending not to see them.Then, one day, as I was holding the hand of my best friend Jane who was young but dying of breast cancer, she told me that she made every moment count by slowing down and by seeing everything . I held her hand for five years and then she passed away. She did teach me something. It took a while for her words to really sink in. I can be a slow learner.I started by seeing everything, and focused on their presence. One day I saw a Vietnam veteran(老兵). I asked him what would make his day. "A hot cup of coffee," he told me.I bought him a cup of coffee, a stack of pancakes, some eggs, and so on. After our meal together, I asked him if there was anything else that would make his life a bit easier."A new pair of socks, "he said.Socks, really? I actually happened to be wearing a nice pair of wool hiking socks at that very moment. I told him that I wanted to give him the pair I was wearing if he would accept it. Finally he agreed. We sat down on a bench, and he started to first take off his boots, and then remove the black socks that had once been white off his feet. I think a layer or two of skin might have come off with them. Taking his new pair of socks, he held the socks up to his cheeks and said they were warm and smelled as good as me, pools of tears in his eyes.Such a simple luxury (奢侈品) I used to take for granted. Now I always have an extra pair with me in my car. They are always my best pair, just waiting to be given away.1.

Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.参考答案1-4 ADDBB''If you can see the magic in a fairytale童话), you can face the future”-- Danielle SteelWho have not read fairytales? We all have had the experience of taking great delight in the beauty and innocence of fairytales.May it be Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty...Fairytale is a word which cannot be new to us. But have you ever travelled ages back to the earliest of times and uncovered the fascinating facts about these stories?The history of the fairytale is particularly difficult to track.The oral tradition of the fairytale came long before the written page.The oldest known fairytales date back to ancient Egypt around 1300B.C.and now, after travelling through various periods of time, they have grown and matured in various aspects and have become the most popular forms of stories for young childrenThe characters and themes of fairytales are simple and similar: Princesses and goose girls, youngest sons and brave princes, wicked, stepmothers, fairy godmothers, talking animals, glass mountains, witches, castles and the like. The tale goes into an unreal world and in this never-never land our heroes kill the enemy, succeed to kingdoms and marry the ever beautiful princesses. W. H Auden said, “The way to read a fairytale is to throw yourself in.” It is very true indeed or you will not be able to feel the ecstasy of reading a fairytale. So whenever you read a fairytale, imagine you are the hero/heroine and you will be carried to a mysterious land where everything will be as you want. Every child believes in fairies(仙女), dragons, etc. Yet, as we grow up we fail to believe in these fantasy-based characters.Fairytales are told to children when they are young. This is very essential indeed, for if in the beginning of our lives, our minds are touched by the beauty, innocence and the morals in these tales, we will be able to obtain the optimistic side of happenings.In life, sometimes, believing in such mystics can lead to great happiness.Well, I don’t know about you, but I do believe in fairies…and who knows I may someday meet one because, after all, believing is just the beginning! And as J.M. Barries said, “When you say I don’t believe in fairies, a fairy somewhere drops dead.” And I wouldn’t want anyone dea d on my account, would you?5.In Paragraph 1, the writer mentioned Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty to __A.tell the beauty and innocence of the fairytalesB.present us the fascinating facts behind themC.show us that fairytales are something we are familiar withD.describe his feeling towards fairytales6.The underlined word '"ecstasy" in Paragraph 3 probably means “___”A.delight B.innocenceC.mystery D.the optimistic side7.Why is it important to tell the fairytales to the children when young?A.Because they can gain great happiness.B.Because it is easier for the children to throw themselves in the roleC.Because they tend to have wild imaginationD.Because when they see the magic in the tales in the beginning, they can face the future8.How do you understand the sentence in the last paragraph "When you say I don't believe in fairies, a fairy somewhere drops dead.” ?A.If you don’t believe in the tales, the fairy will be really sad.B.We need the beauty, innocence, and moral of the fairytales to stay optimistic.C.If nobody believes in us, we will be heartbroken.D.The writer is just trying to be humorous by saying this.参考答案5-8 CADBCItalians were reminded to slow down and relax on World Slow Day, an annual event celebrating life's simple pleasures."Let's take this day to stop and think about all the things we miss while we're rushing through our lives," said Bruno Contigiani, the President of the Art of Living Slowly Association. Contigiani, 62, a one-time high-powered manager, is now an ambassador for the slow life movement around the world. He started the first World Slow Day in 2007 to encourage the values of living and working at a more natural pace, and to make people rethink their daily lifestyle.Contigiani's association suggests "14 commandments (诫条) " for living better, such as waking up five minutes earlier to enjoy breakfast without rushing. Others include walking whenever possible, and reading in the evenings instead of watching television.This year, Contigiani left Italy where the event has spread around the country for Shanghai, one of the fastest moving cities in the world. The slow-living supporter said he wandered around the busiest streets of the commercial center for an entire afternoon, inviting people to "slow down". "Among the ‘14 commandments’, the one about waking up five minutes earlier was the most popular by far, " Contigiani said.Back in Italy, the now well-known event hosts a lot of activities, such as reminding people to stop and smell the roses. In central Milan you would probably be fined if you walk too fast. In parks and public spaces, free yoga and Tai Chi (太极拳) lessons are important parts of the events.Italian farmers' union noted that Italians spent less and less timepreparing meals, a habit connected to rising levels of obesity(肥胖). Therefore, the group said World Slow Day was a good opportunity to remind Italians to take extra time at meals in particular.World Slow Day is by now an international event. A total of 90 “Slow Cities" in 11 countries inspired by the “live well" philosophy are supporting the day.9. What's the best title of the text?A. Slow Life SupportersB. Lifestyle of ItalyC. World Slow DayD. Living Well10. World Slow Day is intended to .A. tell people to walk slowlyB. encourage people to enjoy pleasant thingsC. advise people to adjust to modern lifestyleD. remind people to live and work at a natural pace11. Which of the following goes against the "commandments"?A. Walking whenever possible.B. Slowing down to smell flowers.C. Watching TV in the evenings instead of reading.D. Waking up five minutes earlier to enjoy breakfast.12. In which section of a newspaper is the text probably put?A. Advertisement.B. Culture.C. Business.D. Entertainment.参考答案9-12 CDCBDScientists fear rising energy bills may lead to an increase in obesity (肥胖) after discovering a link between poorly-heated homes and higher body -fat.Researchers from the University of Stirling’s Behavioural Science Centre set out to explore claims that warm indoor temperatures have contributed to rising obesity levels in winter.Instead, the team found that people who live in well-heated homes are more likely to have low body mass index (体重指数) levels while those who keep their heating turned down or off tend to be heavier.Dr Michael Daly, behavioral scientist and senior lecturer, said: "We set out to investigate the scientific claims that cooler indoor temperatures help us maintain a healthy weight by pushing our bodies to use up more energy. In fact, the research suggests people may eat less and burn more energy when in a warmer indoor environment.The 13-year study, published in the journal Obesity, involved more than 100,000 adults across England.Researchers found reduced weight levels among people living in homes heated to above 23°C(73F), which involved about 15,000 of the households studied.Dr Daly said: "As national gas bills continue to rise faster than therate of inflation, this research suggests the obesity could worsen where heating is turned down below comfortable levels or off for long periods to cut costs."This is not just about people who live in well-heated homes being in the financial position to afford more expensive low-calorie foods, exercise classes and sporting activities, and therefore finding it easier to maintain a low BMI level.The study took age, sex, social class and other factors into account."The comfortable temperature of 20°C -23°C is where we feel comfortable in our clothes and are neither hot nor cold.At temperatures above this, we use more energy and we eat less because our appetite is affected."13. The findings of the research can be described as ___.A.horrible B.surprisingC.funny D.encouragingAccording to the passage, with rising gas bills, people may turn down or off their heating to______.A.stay in shape B.maintain a low BMI level C.save money D.avoid eating more15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.Obesity links to poorly-heated homesB.Well-heated home's contribute to obesityC.Obesity--- A weighty problem in EnglandD.Rising energy bills help maintain a healthy weight 参考答案13-15 BCA。

It could truly be our family's last supper.Making the holiday meal was my brother's job,not mine.I could never fill his shoes.Peter had died in September at the age of 45 from a heart attack,but he'd been a natural in the kitchen all his life.He planned every course in detail,from the crescent rolls to the Dutch apple pie.My family was lost without him.We went out to dinner for Thanksgiving and ordered in pizza for Christmas.By the time Easter rolled around,though,I couldn't bear the idea of another holiday surrounded by takeout(外卖食品) boxes.Peter would have hated that.To him,there was nothing more important than a meal made with love.So I convinced Mom that we should cook Easter dinner together.Only,we were terrible cooks.What had I been thinking cooking for Easter dinner? I'd bitten off more than I could chew. No one could do this half as well as Peter.I stepped into the family room.Mom was still at church,but her newspaper was opened on the coffee table,to the sports section,as usual.She was a huge Notre Dame women's basketball fan,and the featured story was about forward Devereaux Peters,who was graduating.I read the headline and nearly dropped my grocery bags,Filling Peters' Shoes.That afternoon,cooking in the kitchen,I didn't feel so alone.Mom and I pulled together the Easter feast just fine.The ham may have been a little dry,but it was all made with love—just like Peter would have wanted.本文是一篇记叙文。

UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,〞 Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.〞Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,〞 says Moran.Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,〞 says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,〞says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.〞29.What does the underlined word “that〞 in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Jazz becoming more accessible.B.The production of jazz growing faster.C.Jazz being less popular with the young.D.The jazz audience becoming larger.2.[2016·全国卷Ⅰ]CI am Peter Hodes, a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2012, I've done 89 trips—of those, 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞) in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we've got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check­in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I'm really sorry, I've got some bad news for you—there are no fights from Washington.〞 So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said:“In this box are some stem cells that a re urgently needed for a patient—please, please, you've got to get me back to the United Kingdom.〞 She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re­routed(改道) me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job, you're consciously aware that in that box you've got something that is potentially going to save somebody's life.29. Which of the followin g can replace the underlined word “courier〞 in Paragraph 1?A.Provider. B.Delivery man.C.Collector. D.Medical doctor.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

When 47-year-old volunteer Susan Boyle stepped on to the stage of Britain’s Got Talent and announced she was unemployed, had never been married and “never been kissed, actually”, few in the audience would have wondered why. This Ms. Boyle, looking unfashionable, from a village in Scotland, shocked the three judges and the audience with the song “I Dreamed a Dream” from the musical Les Miserables on a show of “Britain’s Got Talent”, one of the hottest reality shows in Britain.She couldn’t hide the awkwardness when walking to the center of the stage in a housedress, and everyone—including the judges—seemed laughing at her when she saidshe wanted to be as successful as Elaine Paige. As soon as she began singing, however, everyone present fell silent, then rose within seconds to applaud her incredible voice as the celebrity(名人) judges sat open-mouthed, and remained standing to the end. After her performance, one of the judges Piers Morgan said, “Without doubt that was the biggest surprise I’ve had in three years of this show. When you stood there everyone was laughing at you. No one is laughing now. That was amazing.”Actress Amanda Holden followed, “I am so thrilled because I know that everybody was against you. I honestly think that we were all being cynical(愤世嫉俗的)and I think that’s the biggest wake-up call ever.”Susan obviously won over the hearts of millions around the world with sensation spreading across the Atlantic. Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore—who between them have nearly 1.5 million followers—speak highly of her. Kutcher posted a link to the video clip(片段). The Scottish talent made her live American debut(露面)via satellite connection on CBS’s The Early Show, doing an interview and singing live from her room. And she already accepted an invitation from talk show host Oprah Winfrey.Now Boyle has bee one of the world’s hottest celebrities.
