新高考高二英语时文阅读专版特训(含原文翻译及经典解析)

新高考高二英语时文阅读专版特训（含原文翻译及经典解析）AMy parents and I lived upstairs over my aged and infirm paternal grandparents. All of ushelped make the grandparents’day-to-day lives as comfortable as possible. But Granny was gradually going blind and Gramps suffered from the effects of two strokes (中风).Granny’s mind was sharp. It was my job to help her with the daily newspaper’s crossword puzzle. It made no difference if I had studying or a date. I so often think of the fall when Granny got the chance to “be useful again.”Her niece had leased one of those lunch stands on the fairgrounds and she and her daughter would be staying in town during the week-long fair. Though Gran’s relatives would have little time to rest, they would need a place to stay. There was no spare room; what to do?Granny stumbled around, thinking all the help she could get, and before long the attached woodshed had been made into comfortable sleeping quarters for the two women. Granny would take in a few dollars for “putting up”her relatives, but the best was yet to come! Within a day or two, the two women got behind at the lunch stand, finding that simple sandwiches sold like hotcakes. Since they opened early, the fair employees themselves bought their breakfasts there, keeping the two women overly occupied.Near sightless she may have been, but Granny could do her part. I can see her now, standingfor hours with sandwich fixings and several varieties of bread neatly arranged on the clean table before her. After this week of hustle and bustle was over, Granny stated emphatically, “That was the best week I’ve had in years!”The lesson that memory brings back to me is that we all long for a chance to be “useful”, appreciated, and helpful as well. No matter what our circumstances, there’s usually a way to contribute and, as a reward, strengthen our self-images!1. What can we know from the passage?A. Granny was too old to be “useful”.B. Granny couldn’t see anything finally.C. The author’s grandparents were in bad health.D. Gramps enjoyed being busy at the lunch stand.2. What does the underlined phase “putting up”mean in paragraph 4?A.Accommodating.B. Cheating.C. EarningD. Building3. Why did Granny think it was the best week she had had in years?A. Because she found her value again in life.B. Because she made no difference to others.C. Because she had a chance to make money.D. Because she helped her husband’s relatives.4. What’s the author’s attitude towards Granny’s thought about being useful again?A. Indifferent.B. Negative.C. Positive.D. Not mentioned.【答案】1~4 CAAC【解析】】本文是一篇记叙文，通过记叙年迈的奶奶在自己的生活中不断寻找机会来实现自己的社会价值的例子，告诉我们：任何人，只要你愿意，都会有为社会做贡献，让自己被需要，被认可的机会。

This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise-and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and sidesections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智能) and emotion, and deter-mine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties (功能).Contraction of front and side parts---as cells die off---was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and-seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age-using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.Matsuzawa's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says. Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.21. The team of doctors wanted to find out _________.A. why certain people age sooner than othersB. how to make people live longerC. the size of certain people’s brainsD. which people are most intelligent22. On what are their research findings based?A. A survey of farmers in northern Japan.B. Tests performedon a thousand old people.C. The study of brain volumes of different people.D. The latest development of computer technology.23. The doctor’s tests show that _________.A. our brains shrink as we grow olderB. the front section of the brain does not shrinkC. sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-oldsD. the contraction of brains is connected with brain exercise24. The word subjects in paragraph 5 means_________.A. something to be consideredB. branches of knowledge studiedC. persons chosen to be studied in an experimentD. any member of a state except the supreme ruler25.

2023-2024学年浙江省温州市高二下学期期中英语检测试卷(附答案)

2023-2024学年浙江省温州市高二下学期期中英语检测试卷一、阅读理解1、 A AConsidering studying in the US? Concerned about expense? Let's explore strategies for reducing economic pressure.Finding scholarships, as many US institutions offer scholarships to international students. Make use of search engines like Fastweb or for comprehensive scholarship searches. Scholarships can be competitive due to high demand. However, a large number of opportunities exist. Tips for securing scholarships. •Academic excellence: Strong academic performance is highly regarded by universities. •Extracurricular involvement: Participation in sports, music or community service distinguishes applicants. •Seek guidance: Teachers or advisers can offer valuable advice.Alternative cost-reduction measures •On-campus employment: International students can work on campus, providing both income and networking opportunities. •Community colleges: Start studies at a community college, which is often more affordable, before transferring to a university for degree completion. Host family accommodation: Living with a US family can be a cost-effective alternative to university housingFinancial options: leans and aid Loans（贷款）: Some financial institutions loans to international students. Financial aid: Certain universities provide financial assistance to international students.Practical budgeting Home cooking: Preparing meals at home is more economical than dining out. •Second-hand purchases: Choose used books and fumiture to save on expenses •Public transportation: Take buses and trains instead of owning a car for more cost-effective travel.(1) What is an advantage in guaranteeing scholarships?A. A great gift in art.B. Excellent academic performance.C. Active participation in class activities.D. A good command of using search engines.(2) Based on the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Community college fees are relatively high.B. Owning a car is the cheapest way to get around.C. International students have access to financial aid in some universities.D. On-campus accommodation costs much less than living with a host family.(3) Which section of a newper may the text come from?A. Education.B. Economy.C. Transportation.D. Travel.2、 B Are you an "I person" or an "E person"? These two personality labels in particular are widely discussed online. They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI. There are 16 personalities in all, of which "I" and "E" refer to "introverted" and "extroverted", respectively. Even if someone is typically quiet, many online discussions suggest that an "I person" can still act outgoing at times. For example, when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends, they might become more social like an "E" person. According to psychologists, this idea of temporarily switching personalities is called "masking". That is hiding your true personality in specific situations. "Human beings want to feel they belong, and they might become people-pleasers to do so, " wrote the MasterClass website. Thinking on this, I may actually be the kind of person that these people are discussing. Most times, I just wish to make the atmosphere more interesting and exciting and show people that I'm easy to get along with. But deep down, I mostly enjoy being alone and quiet Using the MBTI result to identify and describe someone's personality seems fun. However, I went too far at one time. My sister was excitedly making a day-to-day travel plan when I remembered from an article that a "P person" doesn't like to make or stick to plans, so I said to her, "You don't seem like a "Pperson'". "Why? " she asked back. "Since when do I need to follow what my personality test tells me to do? " It was then that I realized that I'd taken the result too seriously. The MBTI personality test may show something you don't know about yourself and can even be a fun ice-breaker question when meeting new friends. And that's all it is-for fun. Knowing someone's MBTI result doesn't mean you really know this person.(1) An “I person" tends to ___.A. reflect on problems aloneB. enjoy gatherings with friendsC. be active in social situationsD. try to chat with complete strangers(2) Why does an "I person" act like an "E person" sometimes?A. Because he/she wants to be like others.B. Because he/she needs a sense of belonging.C. Because he/she dislikes to embarrass others.D. Because he/she is actually an "person" deep inside.(3) What does the writer mean by saying "I went too far" in paragraph 5?A. She pushed her sister too much.B. She failed to help her sister follow her plan.C. She believed blindly the result of the personality test.D. She discouraged her sister to make a detailed travel plan.(4) What does the writer think about the MBTI?A. It is supposed to be strictly followed.B. It tells you everything about your personality.C. It's an interesting way to start a chat with a stranger.D. It's a reliable approach to telling what type of people a person belongs to.3、 C When opening certain mobile apps, users often find disruptive （有干扰性的） open-app advertisements that impact their experience. Open-app advertisements are advertisements that appear in between contents or during transition screens, such as when an app is loading the next page. Some ofthese advertisements can redirect users to another app if the phone is shaken, causing a lot of frustration for consumers. These open-app advertisements function as gateways and become more common during online shopping festivals, redirecting users to shopping platforms such as Taobao and JD. Most smartphones have a gyroscope sensor （陀螺仪传感器） to detect shaking, leading to unintentional redirection. Many users not only find it annoying to find themselves on an advertisements page, but also have trouble disabling the gyroscope feature since sometimes their phones lack the choice to do so to avoid this issue. In response, authorities have introduced detailed regulations on shaking advertisements gateways. A regulation published in December 2022 outlines specific rules for the design of "shake-to-open" advertisements. It says that these advertisements can only be "clicked through" if the phone's rotation angle exceeds 35 degrees, with an action time longer than three seconds. Additionally, in February, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology emphasized that pop-up or open-app advertisements should not disrupt users' experiences. A regulation introduced in May states that advertisements must include a clear button for users to close them. Government enforcement of these regulations presents challenges, as the number of apps and developers is great. However, this should not be an exeuse for internet platforms to break the rules, as this behavior causes far more harm than good. A survey by the Jiangsu Consumer Council showed that over 90 percent of users strongly dislike open-app advertisements, feeling that their rights are being threatened.

At the heart of PTSD is a memory that can not be controlled. It can affect the everyday lives of its sufferers in forms such as flashbacks, nightmares and anxiety. A new study done by researchers from Yale University and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City suggests that patients with PTSD process their traumatic memories differently than regular memories. The researchers did brain scans of 28 PTSD patients. They asked the patients to listen to recorded narrations of their own memories. Some of the recorded memories were neutral, some were simply "sad", and some were traumatic. They found that when the patients listened to the "sad" memories, the hippocampus （海马体）, which is responsible for forming memories, was activated. But when they listened to the traumatic memories, a different area, called the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC, 后扣带回皮质), was engaged The PCC is not a memory region. Instead, it regulates internal experiences, such as daydreaming. The more severe PTSD symptoms are, the more active the PCC is. "The brain doesn't look like it is in a state of memory, it looks like it is in a state of present experience, " Daniela Schiller, one of the authors of the study, told The New York Times. That means people with PTSD feel as though they're experiencing the traumatic event again in the present moment, rather than thinking back on it like a typical memory. The new finding might hold hope for new PTSD therapies （治疗）. Future therapies are expected to focus on helping PTSD patients returm their traumatic memories to the hippocampus so that they can treat them as regular and non-disruptive （非破坏性的） memories. Changing the ways of thinking could help the brain reduce the feeling of immediate threat caused by trauma, according to llan Harpaz-Rotem, one of the paper's authors.(1) What does the underlined word "flashbacks" in paragraph I mean?A. Rapid movements of eyes.B. Loud sound in the distance.C. Repeated upsetting memories.D. Bright lights suddenly appearing.(2) How do people with PTSD recall traumatic events according to Daniela Schiller?A. They treat them as regular memories.B. They can easily control these memories.C. They struggle to remember traumatic events clearly.D. They vividly relive traumatic events as if they are happening at present.(3) What is the author's attitude towards the new finding?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Unclear.D. Doubtful.(4) What is the purpose of the passage?A. To analyze the reasons for traumatic events.B. To inform readers of the symptoms of PTSD patients.C. To advocate patients' participation in future therapies.D. To present a research finding and its potential application.二、七选五5、阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AHumans and elephants don't always get along. In Africa and Asia, elephants damage public facilities, farmers' crops, and natural habitat critical for other species. If an elephant becomes a problem, humans may kill it. So local people are trying to find better ways to keep elephants away from sensitive places. Now, researchers think they have a good tool to discourage elephants: honeybee."Elephants strongly dislike being bitten in the trunk, so it's an extremely sensitive organ. Imagine being bitten in your nose by a bee, and multiply that a few thousand times." Mark Wright,a professor of entomology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.Kenyan farmers have long known that if they hang live beehives around their farms, they will drive elephants away. "The problem is how do you manage hundreds of thousands of hives, if you have a huge area to protect? And then the idea came up to look at the alarm, which are chemicals that the bees release to launch an attack on something that's robbing the hive." Because elephants have a highly developed sense of smell, Wright and his team thought they might be able to use the bees' chemical alarm signal to affect elephant behavior.So the researchers tested out chemicals that imitate honeybees' alarm. In Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa, the team hung white socks treated with the mixture as well as untreated control socks around an elephant watering hole, and then observed the animals' behavior. "Elephants are really curious organisms, they'll walk along and see something like a sock hangingon a branch in the environment, and they'll inspect it, and if it's not treated with the alarm, they'llpick it up, throw it around, try to taste it, things like that. And in the case of the treated ones, we found that they would show immediate signs of unease or uncertainty, and they'd eventually backoff from them. Very seldom would they go pick them up and play with them."The study is in the journal Current Biology.Next up, the researchers plan to refine the mixture, in order to get an even stronger avoidance response from elephants. That way, these remarkable animals will stay far away from whereverthey should not be going—and both elephants and humans can coexist a bit more peacefully.1. According to the author, what would people do if an elephant continually destroys the farm?A. They would drive it away.B. They would beat it hard.C. They may force it to live in a poor area.D. They may kill it without mercy.2.The chemicals can successfully drive elephants away because of _________.A. elephants’ sensitive trunkB. elephants’ well developed sense of smellC. elephants’ powerful hearingD. elephants’ huge curiosity3. According to paragraph 5, when an elephant find a sock with chemicals, it feels________.A. pleasantB. curiousC. nervousD. thrilled4. Where might you read the text?A. In a scientific magazine.B. On the school notice board.C. At an exhibition.D. In a newspaper.5. What does the underlined word beehives mean?A. 蜂王B. 蜂窝C.蜂鸣器D. 黄蜂BSelf-driving vehicles(车辆) will rely on cameras, sensors and artificial intelligence (人工智能) to recognize and respond to road and traffic conditions, but sensing is the most effective for objects and movement in the neighborhood of the vehicle. Not everything important in a car’s environment will be caught by the vehicl e’s camera. Another vehicle approaching at high speed ontoo late. This is why vehicle-to-vehiclea collision (碰撞) track might not be visible until it’scommunication is undergoing rapid development. Our research shows that cars will need to be able to chat and cooperate on the road, although the technical challenges are still great.The usages of vehicle-to-vehicle communication contain vehicles driving together in a row,as well as safety messages about nearby emergency vehicles. Vehicles could alert each other to avoid collisions or share notices about passers-by and bicycles. From as far as several hundred metres away, vehicles could exchange messages with one another or receive information from roadside units(RSUs) about nearby incidents or dangerous road conditions through 4G network. Ahigh level of AI seems required for such vehicles, not only to self-drive from A to B, but also toreact intelligently to messages received. Vehicles will need to plan, reason, strategize and adapt according to information received in real time and to carry out cooperative behaviors. For example,a group of autonomous vehicles might avoid a route together because of possible risks, or a vehicle could decide to drop someone off earlier due to messages received, a foreseen crowding ahead.Further applications(应用) of vehicle-to-vehicle communication are still being researched, including how to perform cooperative behavior.6．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．The reasons for the accidents by self-driving vehicles.B．The research about how to use self-driving vehicles.C．The reasons for developing communication between self-driving vehicles.D．The importance of artificial intelligence of self-driving vehicles.?7．What does the underlined word “alert” mean in Paragraph 2A．change.

C．They take over the passing vehicles. D．They can change bad road conditions. 9．What is the best title for the text?A．When do vehicles communicate?B．Vehicle-to-vehicle communication is comingC．The reasons why a high level of AI is importantD．What do applications for vehicle-to-vehicle communication need?10.

浙江省强基联盟2024-2025学年高二上学期10月联考英语试题一、阅读理解Top 5 must-visit spots in RochesterStroll through Highland Park.If you want to take a screen break, Highland Park is just a short distance from College Town. The park is home to the annual Lilac (紫丁香) Festival in mid-May, with beautiful colors to be found all around. Although the lilacs may not be blooming, the park is a nice spot for you to relax yourself.Watch a film at Roc Cinema.Roc Cinema offers low-priced movie tickets for students — $7 with student ID．Apart from movies, Roc Cinema also feature comedy open mics and showcases.Walk with animals at the Seneca Park Zoo.The zoo can take your worries off your work as you hang out with some of your favorite animals. Located along the Genesee River, the tickets are budget-friendly at $12 for adults, for any college student and the zoo allows for a fun, anxiety-free trip.Catch a performance at the Geva Theatre.Downtown, the Geva Theatre features frequent live performances of shows that range from popular musicals and plays to showcases and speeches. The theatre also puts on live discussions with the cast and crew of their seasonal shows during their “Sunday Salon”.Relive your childhood in the National Museum of Play.The museum is easily recognizable from its yard, which features iconography from classic board games, just hinting at the museum’s love for games and toys. Before going, it’s best to plan ahead; the sheer amount of experiential things to do is worth a whole day trip.1．What do Highland Park and the Seneca Park Zoo have in common?A．They are nice places to relax.B．They sell tickets at a low price.C．They are located not far from the city.D．They are home to animals and flowers. 2．Which spot suits people who are interested in playing games?A．Roc Cinema.B．The Seneca Park Zoo.C．The Geva Theatre.D．The National Museum of Play.3．Where is the passage probably taken from?A．A short story.B．A book review.C．A travel brochure.D．A science report.Not surprisingly, dogs are famous for their unusual and super snouts (口鼻部). Those sensitive noses are good at finding food and observing neighborhood like checking out new dogs, people and places. In the past thousands of years, hunters have trained dogs to track prey.Today, dogs do have many jobs. They find injured people after earthquakes and other disasters. Besides, they help fight crime by sniffing out illegal drugs and explosives. And because of the dog’s nose, stinkbugs and bedbugs have nowhere to hide. Recent studies have shown that dogs can even detect some diseases in humans.How does a dog’s nose perform these wonderful abilities? It’s 10,000 to 100,000 times more sensitive than the human nose, at least for some smells. As in our nose, the airway in a dog’s nose has lining (黏膜) that senses smells. In a human nose, the lining is the size of a quarter. In a German shepherd’s nose, it’s as big as a DVD．That huge surface has lots of folds that help it fit inside the dog’s snout. Like a crumpled sheet of paper, it has a lot of surfaces packed into a small space.During a sniff, air flows over the lining. Nerve endings in the lining detect smell chemicals in the air. The nerves send signals to the brain, telling it which smells they detected. The dog’s large lining may have two billion smell detectors. That’s up to 167 times more than our 12 million to 40 million. And the smelling part of a dog’s brain is three times bigger than the same part of human brain. The dog’s brain has to process a lot of smell data coming in from the nose- but it can handle the job.4．What can we learn about dogs from the first two paragraphs?A．They are good at delivering food.B．They help check the accident by sniffing.C．They are trained to find animals today.D．They can discover some human illnesses. 5．What does the underlined word “crumpled” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Smooth.B．Wrinkled.C．Clean.D．Unfolded. 6．How does the author organize the last paragraph?A．By listing different studies.B．By making a comparison.C．By introducing general rules.D．By analyzing the cause and effect. 7．What’s the best title of the whole passage?A．What Are the Jobs Dogs Do?B．How do Dogs Protect Humans?C．What Makes a Dog’s Nose so Powerful?D．How do Dogs Detect Diseases?Health is not just about exercise and eating more fruits and vegetables. Keeping proper posture is vital for living a healthy life and avoiding negative health problems.Good posture doesn’t mean your back must be completely straight-no matter how many times you heard warnings to “sit up straight” or “stand straight” in your youth. Actually, the spine has a natural curve (弯曲). This allows the head to be centered over the neck and the body to be centered over the hips, which is their ideal placement for maintaining good posture.Keeping proper posture provides a plenty of physical benefits including reducing the chance of getting sports injuries, digestive problems, muscle and stress injuries. It minimizes the amount of stress on all your muscles.Correct posture can improve breathing as well. The inefficient breathing patterns are associated with a slouched (懒散的) posture, in part because such a position forces the body to rely more on upper-chest breathing. By contrast, the belly breathing is more efficient and relaxing. This is important because many of the worst health problems of poor posture can take years before they become noticeable.Along with such physical advantages, proper posture can also improve your mental health and your life. “A person with neutral head-level posture is considered as more cooperative than someone who has their head in an up-or-down position,” says Laura Deon, a physical medicine specialist at RUSH University in Chicago. “Good posture can improve communication skills and make your everyday exchanges go smoothly,” she explains.To experience benefits related to proper posture, it is recommended to pay attention to how you sit and stand and to practice doing so correctly and often enough until it feels natural. Besides, wearing proper footwear, doing exercise and sitting on chairs that offer back support could be helpful too. No matter which of these techniques you follow, good posture can be trained with practice.8．What do we know about our back?A．It has a natural curve.B．It keeps still all the time.C．It needs to be totally straight.D．It looks quite bent from the side. 9．According to Laura Deon, how can good posture affect social interactions?A．It makes you look taller.B．It makes you less focused.C．It makes you seem humorous.D．It makes you seem more cooperative. 10．Which of the following is not a benefit from proper posture?A．Improve mental health.B．Strengthen one’s memory.C．Relieve muscle injuries.D．Reduce digestive problems.11．What does the author suggest readers do to keep proper posture?A．Wear hard sneakers.B．Choose soft chairs to sit.C．Sit on chairs all day.D．Keep posture natural with practice.Playing sports outdoors has got extremely hot. Recently a report said heat could cause safety risks during this year’s Paris Olympics. These heat problems become worse because of the rising temperature and growing use of artificial turf (人造草皮). Though more durable, artificial turf can’t absorb and keep water which finally leads to higher surface temperatures.Researchers from the KWR Water Research Institute in the Netherlands create a self-cooling turf, whose temperature is close to that of natural grass. If widely used, it may reduce the risk of serious heat-related injuries and even help improve storm drainage (排水) in cities where rainwater isn’t absorbed well by traditional artificial turf.The researchers used grass’ natural water absorption as inspiration and created their own turf with an open water storage layer. That water layer captures and stores rainwater. Tiny tubes made up of special materials are then used to transport the water back up to the surface where it evaporates (蒸发), which makes the turf surface cool.Though other research previously cooled artificial turfs by sprinkling (喷洒) water, it only cools for a short time and may damage the turfs. The KWR researchers say this new method is better as it stores rainwater to cool the field when needed. In addition to the cooling effects, the water-absorbing field could also prevent urban flooding by absorbing rainwater.Researchers say their new cooling system is easy to use, but it’s not necessarily cheap. Installation costs twice as much as a traditional turf. And while the experiment focused on small5×5 meter plots, fields in the real world could be larger. Still, those previous costs may only tell part of the story. This investment, however, allows the field to become part of the water management system and forms a cooler and safer field for the athletes.12．What’s the function of the first paragraph?A．To lead in the topic.B．To start an argument.C．To express an opinion.D．To give a definition.13．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．The standard of the self-cooling turf.B．The design principle of the self-cooling turf.C．The special materials of the self-cooling turf.D．The difference between self-cooling turf and natural grass.14．Why is the KWR’s new method of cooling turfs better than previous ones?A．It is much cheaper.B．It uses sprinkler systems.C．It stores natural rainwater.D．It absorbs underground water.15．What is the author’s attitude toward the self-cooling turf?A．Worried.B．Unclear.C．Positive.D．Doubtful.The Happiest DietDoes what you eat affect your mood? Could your food have effects on your mental well-being? 16 Several ingredients and methods account for that.Fibre and more fibreWe often worry about protein intake but data shows we usually get enough. 17 It supports gut (肠道) health, feeding good bacteria and contributing to overall well-being. Research even suggests that increasing fibre intake by 5g may lower the risk of depression by5%.Fat is good18 “Omega-3 fatty acids, found in oily fish, play a role in the structure and function of cell membranes (细胞膜) in the brain,” the nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert says. “They are involved in the production and signaling of neurotransmitters (神经递质), which are critical for mood regulation.”And breatheYour gut is impacted not just by what you eat but by how you eat. Lisa Macfarlane, co-founder of the health company The GutStuff, explains, “ 19 Try taking deep breath before you eat-it’s proven that digestion happens more effectively when eating in a relaxed and calm state.”Join the fast crowdA recent study by King’s College London found that eating within a ten-hour window. and therefore fasting for fourteen hours each day, is associated with better mood, better sleep, more energy and less hunger. 20A．Add more protein to your regular diet.B．Need another reason to eat more oily fish?C．Instead, we should focus on our fibre intake.D．Beans are one of the highest sources of dietary fibre.E．This is easier than it sounds: it would mean eating between 9 a. m. and 7 p. m.F．We suggest putting your body in “rest and digest” mode instead of eating on the go. G．Evidence shows what you eat can promote brain chemicals that influence your mood.二、完形填空As a young girl, I longed for glasses and braces (牙套), regarding them as special symbols of becoming an adult.

2024全国高考真题英语汇编：阅读理解D篇

2024全国高考真题英语汇编阅读理解D篇一、阅读理解（2024·浙江·高考真题）The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.1．What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test?A．Take an examination alone.B．Share their treats with others.C．Delay eating for fifteen minutes.D．Show respect for the researchers.2．According to Paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between_______.A．the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B．the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needsC．the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit D．the rich food supply and our unchanged brains 3．What does the author suggest readers do?A．Be selective information consumers.B．Absorb new information readily.C．Use diverse information sources.D．Protect the information environment.4．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Eat Less, Read More B．The Later, the BetterC．The Marshmallow Test for Grownups D．The Bitter Truth about Early Humans（2024·全国·高考真题）In the race to document the species on Earth before they go extinct, researchers and citizen scientists have collected billions of records. Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other digital records. Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species inan area, a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect.“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observations of different species with the aid of a mobile application,” said Barnabas Daru, who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. “These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens (标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable?”Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns.“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias (使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it,” said Daru.Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only records did not lead to better global coverage. Moreover, these data are biased and favor certain regions, time periods, and species. This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby. These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-catching features.What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity?“Quite a lot,” Daru explained. “Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places — and even species — that are not well-sampled. To improve the quality of observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.”5．What do we know about the records of species collected now?A．They are becoming outdated.B．They are mostly in electronic form.C．They are limited in number.D．They are used for public exhibition.6．What does Daru’s study focus on?A．Threatened species.B．Physical specimens.C．Observational data.D．Mobile applications.7．What has led to the biases according to the study?A．Mistakes in data analysis.B．Poor quality of uploaded pictures.C．Improper way of sampling.D．Unreliable data collection devices.8．What is Daru’s suggestion for biodiversity apps?A．Review data from certain areas.B．Hire experts to check the records.C．Confirm the identity of the users.D．Give guidance to citizen scientists.（2024·全国·高考真题）Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) thatpowers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now — several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI-the technology companies and world leaders—so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.9．What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A．If read by someone poorly educated.B．If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned.C．If written by someone less competent.D．If translated by someone unacademic.10．What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text?A．It is packed with complex codes.B．It adopts a down-to-earth writing style.C．It provides step-by-step instructions.D．It is intended for AI professionals.11．What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?A．Observe existing regulations on it.B．Reconsider expert opinions about it.C．Make joint efforts to keep it under control.D．Learn from prior experience to slow it down.12．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To recommend a book on AI.B．To give a brief account of AI history.C．To clarify the definition of AI.D．To honor an outstanding AI expert.（2024·全国·高考真题）“I didn’t like the ending,” I said to my favorite college professor. It was my junior year of undergraduate, and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature. I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, and I was heartbroken with the ending. Prof. Gracie, with all his patience, asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not. He suggested I think about the difference between endings that I wanted for the characters and endings that were right for the characters, endings that satisfied the story even if they didn’t have a traditionally positive outcome. Of course, I would have preferred a different ending for Tom and Maggie Tulliver, but the ending they got did make the most sense for them.This was an aha moment for me, and I never thought about endings the same way again. From then on, if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy, I’d pick up a love romance. If I wanted an ending I couldn’t guess, I’d pick up a mystery (悬疑小说). One where I kind of knew what was going to happen, historical fiction. Choosingwhat to read became easier.But writing the end — that’s hard. It’s hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers. You have to balance creating an ending that's unpredictable, but doesn’t seem to come from nowhere, one that fits what’s right for the characters.That’s why this issue (期) of Writer’s Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you’re doing. If it’s short stories, Peter Mountford breaks down six techniques you can try to see which one helps you stick the landing.

Here, norms (规范) were unwritten and rarely expressed clearly, but were well understood and taken to heart. Dishonest and violent behaviours were disapproved of; leadership, marriage and interactions with other groups were loosely governed by traditions. Conflict was often resolved in musical battles. Because arguing angrily leads to chaos, it was strongly discouraged. With life in the unforgiving Northern Canada being so demanding, the Inuit’s practical approach to morality made good sense.The similarity of moral virtues across cultures is striking, even though the relative ranking of the virtues may vary with a social group’s history and environment. Typically, cruelty and cheating are discouraged, while cooperation, humbleness and courage are praised. These universal norms far pre-date the concept of any moralising religion or written law. Instead, they are rooted in the similarity of basic human needs and our shared mechanisms for learning and problem solving. Our social instincts (本能) include the intense desire to belong. The approval of others is rewarding, while their disapproval is strongly disliked. These social emotions prepare our brains to shape our behaviour according to the norms and values of our family and our community. More generally, social instincts motivate us to learn how to behave in a socially complex world.The mechanism involves a repurposed reward system originally used to develop habits important for self-care. Our brains use the system to acquire behavioural patterns regarding safe routes home, efficient food gathering and dangers to avoid. Good habits save time, energy and sometimes your life. Good social habits do something similar in a social context. We learn to tell the truth, even when lying is self-serving; we help a grandparent even when it is inconvenient. We acquire what we call a sense of right and wrong.Social benefits are accompanied by social demands: we must get along, but not put up with too much. Hence self-discipline is advantageous. In humans, a greatly enlarged brain boosts self-control, just as it boosts problem-solving skills in the social as well as the physical world. These abilities are strengthened by our capacity for language, which allows social practices to develop in extremely unobvious ways.17．What can be inferred about the forming of the Inuit’s moral code?A．Living conditions were the drive.B．Unwritten rules were the target.C．Social tradition was the basis.D．Honesty was the key.18．What can we learn from this passage?A．Inconveniences are the cause of telling lies.B．Basic human needs lead to universal norms.C．Language capacity is limited by self-control.D．Written laws have great influence on virtues. 19．Which would be the best title for this passage?A．Virtues: Bridges Across Cultures B．The Values of Self-disciplineC．Brains: Walls Against Chaos D．The Roots of Morality参考答案1．C 2．D 3．A 4．C【导语】这是一篇说明文。

2022年浙江高考英语阅读理解限时训练(共8套)(含解析)

阅读理解专练(一)(限时30分钟)AMy name is Matthew. I’m not someone who has many secrets, because I’m a terrible liar. But there is one huge secret that I kept for years—I failed my driving test. I had never failed a test before, and had never even come close. Driving made me anxious, but my parents told me I had to. They signed me up for driving lessons. I had gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam, but getting behind the wheel was a different story.But when October 30th rolled around, my pride set in. I wanted to be like everyone else at my school, showing off the brand new license they’d gotten. Looking back on that special day, I can’t remember if I was nervous. What I do remember is starting the test, pausing at a stop sign after a few seconds, and being asked by the instructor to pull over. I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop. I wasn’t upset that I was leaving without a license, but I was scared everyone would know that I had failed. So when I got to class, I told everyone I didn’t want to take the test on my birthday.One Friday a month later, I went to the test spot again and passed. Later that night I drove for the first time by myself, which brought to me an amazing feeling I’ve never experienced—but sill, I couldn’t imagineever telling anyone the truth. So I didn’t. It wasn’t until midway through college that I came clean. It turned out plenty of my college friends had failed too! And I gathered enough courage to speak the fact out. Yes, I had also failed.Now I realize failure and imperfection are two things everyone has to experience, without which one couldn’t make a true man.【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。

浙江省2019学年高二3月阶段性考试英语试卷【含答案及解析】

浙江省2019学年高二3月阶段性考试英语试卷【含答案及解析】姓名___________ 班级____________ 分数__________一、阅读理解1. Probably the hardest part of setting goals is the first step of actually deciding to take action! The first barrier that most people face is the incorrect assumption ( 假设 ) that goals are only for business people. The reality is that everyone sets goals mentally throughout the day. There are always occasions where something has to be done at a particular time or in a particular place. Simple examples could be getting up at a certain time in order to be at work, or to meet with a friend for an activity.The beauty of having goals is the uniqueness of each one to the goal setter. Whether it is personal, financial, or business, they are all specific to that person and their situation.The most important part is to write them down. Having goals written down gives you power while helping you to focus on this area.Aim for something that will stretch you while remaining achievable. If you achieve your goal too easily, it is not high enough to make any significant change in your life. On the other hand, if you consistently miss the goals, consider setting them a little lower as you will only get discouraged and probably give up. The aim is to keep you growing and moving into a more satisfactory position.As you reach the levels that you have set for yourself, always include a small reward at each point. This might only be a small thing in the early days like a meal out or a weekend vacation.Remember that these changes will not happen overnight and there will be a period of time when nothing seems to be happening. This is why the goals need to be detailed and as specific as possible with a result and benefit.Allow some time on a daily basis to educate yourself on how to make the necessary adjustments in your life. This could include listening to a CD, orreading a book, etc.A simple method to start with could be one goal in the main areas of life to be achieved in one month, six months, twelve months or five years. Break that down further into a daily, weekly and monthly system. Stay focused and stick to achieving all that you desire.1. The main examples in Paragraph 1 tell us that ________ .A. goals are set mostly for important thingsB. most people know when it is time to set goalsC. people can set goals to get things done all the timeD. it is necessary to get goals once in a while2. The charm of having goals is that each goal is ________ .A. importantB. achievableC. specialD. meaningful3. A good goal is one that is ________ .A. easy enough for you to feel niceB. high enough yet achievableC. always in a satisfactory positionD. changed again and again2. The behavior of a building’s users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Center(UKERC). The UK promised to reduce its carbon emissions by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable ( 可持续的 ) building design on its own, though extremely important, is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behavior of the people using the building has to change too.The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency, which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.“Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,” explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher, “consumption patterns of building users ca n defeat the most careful design.” In other words, old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home.Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers don’t have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information, it’s hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback ( 反馈 ) facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors, could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behavior directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.Social science research has added a further dimension ( 方面 ) , suggesting that individuals’ behavior in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted — whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat ( 恒温器 ) , for example.Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused program to teach people about buildings and their own behavior in them.1. As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of ________ .A. zero-carbon homesB. the behavior of building usersC. sustainable building designD. the reduction of carbon emissions2. The und erlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to “ ________ ”.A. the waysB. their homesC. developmentsD. existingefforts3. What are Katy Janda’s words mainly about?A. The importance of changing building users’ habits.B. The necessity of making a careful building design.C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.3. Astonishingly, 26 million Britons will be obese by 2030, placing a huge pressure on health services, according to studies published on Friday highlighting the growing global obesity problem. Based on present trends, obesity rates in Britain will rise from 26 percent to 41-48 percent in men, and from 26 percent to 35-43 percent in women over the next two decades. By 2030, as many as 11 million more British adults will be obese and 3.3 million of them will be aged over 60.The resulting cost burden on health services could be as much as ￡2 billion per year, according to the research published in The Lancet medical journal. In the U.S. the prediction is even worse, with 50-51 percent of American men and 45-52 percent of American women expected to be obese by 2030, adding as many as 65 million to the country’s population of obese adults.The study, led by Claire Wang of Columbia University in New York and Klim McPherson of Oxford University, says that medical costs will surge , given obesity’s links with diabetes, cancer, heart disease and strokes.“The combined medical costs associated with treatment for these preventable diseases are estimated to increase by $48-66 billion per year in the U.S. and by ￡1.9-2 billion per year in the U.K. by 2030,” it says.McPherson said politicians are shying away from settling the problem for fear of being criticized. “I think they do ‘get’ it but they don’t know what todo with it, and they don’t think it’s their responsibility,” he said.Today, around 1.5 billion adults are overweight and a further 0.5 billion obese, with 170 million children classified as overweight or obese. Dealing with obesity takes up between two and six percent of health care costs in many countries.In the study, the researchers traced the problem to the 1970s and 80s, and related it to a rise in food consumption and a more sedentary ( 案头的 ) lifestyle.1. What can be learned from Paragraph 1?A. 26 million Britons are suffering from obesity nowadays.B. Obesity rates in British women and men are the same nowadays.C. By 2030, about eleven million adults will be obese in Britain.D. Most obese people will be aged over 60 by 2030.2. The underlined word “surge” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.A. increase quicklyB. appear suddenlyC. refuse bravelyD. develop independently3. In McPherson’s opinion, politicians ________ .A. are most likely to be obeseB. have nothing to do with the obesity problemC. should make more efforts to solve the obesity problemD. have more detailed information about the obesity4. In which part of a newspaper are we most likely to read the passage?A. Health.B. Science.C. Education.D. Politics.二、七选五4.Do you want to put a smile on someone’s face?

Try out one or more of the following ways today t o put smiles on their faces.2. Handwritten notes that are given to encourage someone, not just for thanking someone for a gift, are rare.

A ★“Gold Rush Alaska” has given America gold fever. A lot of young men put everything at risk to find gold in Alaska. They face problems with their machines and the Alaska wild animals. They’re just ordinary people out trying to realize a dream.Todd Dorsey is one of them. He spent $100,000 on it and prepared for a year before going to Alaska. He brought his family and friends to help him out. He must get them mining (开矿) and a place to stay. He also had to keep their spirits up and kept everyone working as a team. They had to run off bears sometimes from their camp.They had to face the fact that their lead mechanic’s (机修工的) health was not good. They called him Harness, and he was on medication that was hard for him to take, because out in Alaska it was not easy to get to the hospital and so he didn’t enjoy good health. He was the only one who could keep things running the way they were supposed to. There was oneg uy that didn’t seem to get along with anyone. But didn’t there always have to be someone that didn’t get along and messed things up?They got excited when they found a few small pieces of gold, but they needed a lot more to cover the cost of mining every day. It cost Todd $1,000 a day to run everything they needed to mine. They had to make money before the Alaska summer came to an end or they would go broke （破产）.56. We learn from the text that the young men joining the gold rush ______.A. knew Alaska well before they set offB. were poor before they went to AlaskaC. faced the threat of wild animalsD. got along well with each other57. According to the text, Harness ______.A. was the leader of the young menB. never messed things upC. was very important to everyoneD. had to be taken to hospital58. What does the author think of Todd Dorsey?A. He thinks highly of what Todd did.B. He believes Todd can realize his dream.C. He thinks Todd lacked team spirit.D. He thinks Todd was taking a chance.B ★★Most people consider skydiving (高空跳伞) a product of the 20th century, but its history actually goes further back than that. The Chinese attempted to parachute (跳伞) in the 10th century, a thousand years before we did. The Chinese did what we would today call base diving; that is, they jumped off a place that would allow them to float from a height to the ground.The first person to attempt to parachute was a Frenchman named Jacques Garnerin. He jumped from his hot-air balloon at the end of the 18th century and did tricks on the way down and stupefied the crowds by landing safely on the ground. At the end of the 19th century, Kathie Paulus, a brave German woman, became famous for her skydiving skills.Once the airplane was invented, skydiving took on a whole new form. The airplane made it possible to dive from greater heights at greater speeds, allowing for more range in the movements in the air. A woman named Tiny Broadwick became the first woman to jump from a plane in 1913 and dive free fall in 1914.Skydiving was not called skydiving until the middle of the 1950s, when Ronald Young invented the word. It had been called parachuting before this and was mainly used by the military to land troops in inland locations, or for pilots to jump out of their planes when necessary. Once World War I was over, parachuting became a sport, which we now call skydiving.After World War II, this activity became more a hobby than a military action. Soldiers were trained in parachuting and enjoyed the thrill so much that they continued on for fun. From this, teams and competitions were formed. Skydiving schools appeared in the late 1950sand now it is a recognized extreme sport enjoyed by many.59. The underlined word “stupefied” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.A. disappointedB. encouragedC. surprisedD. attacked60. Who was the first woman to jump from a plane?A. Jacques Garnerin.B. Kathie Paulus.C. Tiny Broadwick.D. Ronald Young.61. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The Chinese attempted different skydiving skills in the 10th century.B. Skydiving became popular after the airplane was invented.C. The word skydiving was first used in a military action.D. There were no skydiving schools until the late 1950s.62. What would be the best title for this text?A. The history of skydivingB. The popularity of skydivingC. What is skydiving?D. Why is skydiving an extreme sport?C ★★★Most people looking for ways to quit smoking worry about weight gain, and with good reason. Smokers who quit tend to pack on an average of 5 pounds after they stop smoking cigarettes. A new study, published by the journal Science, explains why this happens.The new research explains that nicotine appears to combine with appetite-regulating neurons (调节食欲的神经元) in the brain, besides the receptors (感受器) that bring about addiction. These neurons help regulate how much food gets consumed, but under the influence of nicotine, they lose their self-control. This is why when smokers quit, they tend to eat more and gain weight.The researchers believe that their discovery will lead to the development of drugs that aim at nicotine receptors on brain cells that control appetite. In the future, weight gain may no longer be a reason for smokers to delay the decision to kick the habit, but that’s no reason to wait. Nicotine-replacement treatment, while not for everyone, can help. Here are a few more ways to quit smoking and stay slim.Drink water. To improve metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates, make half of those glasses icewater. Juice can be too high in calories, something you’ll want to keep an eye on your journey toward being a slimmer non-smoker. Plan your snacks. Healthy snacks help keep your metabolism working, so you continue to burn calories while stopping wild hunger pain, or fake hunger.Keep moving. Exercise kills two birds with one stone. It helps you burn calories and prevents you from eating when you’re not truly hungry. It’s also a feel-good stress reliever (缓解物). Focus on your fitness and how being healthy makes you feel. Make exercise a goal and think of quitting as your reward for being physically fit.63. Which of the following changes people’s appetite according to the new research?A. Nicotine.B. Appetite-regulating neurons.C. The receptors that bring about addiction.D. The food that has been consumed.64. By saying “but that’s no reason to wait” in Paragraph 3, the author means that ______.A. some new drugs are going to be developed soonB. nicotine-replacement treatment cannot help everyoneC. losing weight shouldn’t be an excuse for smokingD. some ways to quit smoking while staying slim are available65. The author believes that ______.A. ice water can improve metabolic ratesB. smokers should eat fewer snacks to keep slimC. stress can lead to fake hungerD. exercise can help one eat less66. The purpose of the text is ______.A. to introduce the result of a new studyB. to explain the reason why smokers become slimC. to prove the possibility of being a slim non-smokerD. to tell us ways to quit smoking without gaining weightD ★★TEFL (Teaching English as a foreign language) England runs TEFL courses forEnglish-speaking people wishing to teach English abroad.

To create a better bottle opener, Aasritha used a piece of wood. It was shaped like a cellphone. Next, she put three holes in the wood. The holes were in different sizes so that they could match common bottle cap sizes. Each hole also had a layer of dried hot glue, providing a strong hold for the bottle caps. With a simple twisting motion, her grandmother could open bottles without assistance.While addressing challenges those with learning disabilities, movement challenges and other issues face, students like Aasritha used more than their math, physics, and tool skills. They also learned about empathy (共情). “Empathy is looking at problems from another person’s point of view,” Aasritha’s teacher, Mark Bolt, said. “It’s an important part of engineering. Engineers need to put themselves in their product users’ shoes to build effective solutions.” It was empathy, while watching friends and family deal with daily tasks, that pushed other students’ projects.Student Michael noticed how reading disorder made it difficult for his friends to follow along on pages full of text. Their brains tend to confuse the order of numbers, letters, and other images. So Michael created a small adjustable window-blind-style device. “My friend could separate small sections of text while reading,” he said.In the process, students tried different versions of their products to make the best one to show the class. Rather than having step-by-step directions for the projects, Bolt preferred to leave students’ creative paths open. “If we want to do better, we have to have a chance to fail,” he said. 4．What might be a solution to Aasritha’s engineering class task?A．To invent new products.B．To better wheelchairs.C．To raise money for the disabled.D．To teach lower-grade students engineering. 5．Why are the three holes’ sizes different in Aasritha’s bottle opener?A．To ensure a wider use.B．To make the most of space.C．To beautify the bottle opener.D．To make the opener easier to hold. 6．According to Mark Bolt, while designing products engineers should _________.A．ask for the users’ advice B．be thoughtful of their usersC．improve their work effectiveness D．focus more on the people around them 7．What does Mark Bolt think is important in the students’ creation?A．Aiming to be the best creator.B．Having room for free exploration.C．Following a strict set of rules and steps.D．Serving different functions in different situations.It is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing , because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child,s first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and representeddifferent social-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio-economic background and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the child,s development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.8．What caused the failure of the “Headstart” program ?A．The large number of poor families.B．The disapproval from children.C．The late start of the program.D．The long period of time.9．What do we know about the “Missouri” program ?A．It focused on the children,s first school teachers.B．It helped the children return to the same home.C．It made the children improved in many aspects.D．It gave the parents advice on their development.10．According to the passage, what is likely to influence children,s performance ?A．The number of family members.B．The parent-child communication.C．The intelligence of their parents.D．The teacher-student relationship.11．How does the author develop the passage ?A．By listing figures.B．By making comparisons.C．By giving examples.D．By drawing conclusions.The decline in moral standards -which has long concerned social analysts-has at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad.The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nation's moral climate, says this ethics(伦理学) professor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are gaining popularity. “The thought that ‘I’m in it for me has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness,” Ms. Elshtain says.Some of this can be attributed to the disintegration(瓦解) of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With today's greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self.In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the U. S. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that: Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers.The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament(挽歌) for some nonexistent “golden age,” Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful longing for a smash of the discrimination that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor the lessening of prejudice. and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor the lessening of prejudice.Moral decline will not be reversed(扭转) until people find ways to oppose the materialism in society, she says. “Slowly, you recognize that the things that matter are those that can't be bought.”12．Professor Elshtain is pleased to see that Americans _______.A．have adapted to a new set of moral standardsB．are longing for the return of the good old daysC．have realized the importance of material thingsD．are awakening to the lowering of their moral standards13．The moral decline of American society is caused mainly by _______.A．the growing wealth of the countryB．the self-centeredness of individualsC．underestimating the impact of social changesD．the prejudice against women and minorities14．Which of the following characterizes the traditional communities?A．Great mobility.B．Emphasis on individual effort.C．Concern for one’s neighbor.D．Ever-weakening social bonds. 15．According to Elshtain, the current moral decline may be reversed _______.A．if people can return to the “golden age”B．when women and men enjoy equal rightsC．when people rid themselves of prejudiceD．if less emphasis is laid on material thingsThere’s a long-standing argument in scientific circles over how to classify viruses. They’re not lifeless, because they multiply and have genes. Yet they’re not “alive,” as they don’t have cells, and can’t survive on their own. Viruses reproduce by hijacking (劫持) the host’s cells, eventually causing them to burst and die. 16 In order to protect ourselves from them, we have to know some basic facts about viruses.17 People often think of just a few viruses — influenza, HIV, and now coronaviruses — but they are the most plentiful microbes (微生物) on the planet. There are about 320,000 types that infect mammals, but just 219 are known to infect humans.You can get some viruses more than once. There’s a popular myth that once you’ve had a virus, you’re immune to (对……免疫) it. 18 When you get a virus, your body builds up antibodies to fight it. However, not everyone makes enough antibodies, and they can wear off over time, which is why you need booster shots of some vaccines.You can be contagious (传染性的) without ever showing symptoms. Some viruses can be spread via people who never had signs of the illness or who don’t have symptoms yet. Some people may even be “super-spreaders”. 19 Take precautions to prevent spreading viruses even when you don’t feel sick.If you’re very overweight, you need to be extra cautious. Obese people are contagious with the flu virus 42 percent longer than those who aren’t obese. Because obesity is linked to many health problems, it may affect your immune system. 20A．But that’s not always the case.B．There are many more viruses than you think.C．Loss of taste or smell is an early warning sign.D．Extra weight may make the flu shot (流感疫苗) less effective too.E．Sleep as much as possible to help your body to recover.F．That’s why viruses that infect humans nearly always cause illness.G．They will infect dozens to hundreds of other people without even realizing it.二、完形填空I was traveling on an overnight bus in Maharashtra.

浙江省鼓山中学高二英语完型阅读限时训练（十九）命题人：肖燕March28，2010 Many years ago, I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.One very cold, wet night at about 3:30 a.m., there was a 16 on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from 17 to toe, explained that he had 18 out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his pregnant(怀孕的) wife and his two children 19 at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back.Once I had 20 a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both 21 , saying that they were cold. Once the car had started, I suggested that he 22 me back.Before leaving, I had turned the heater 23 in the roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and 24 .While the little ones played and ran 25 ,I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the 26 .It was about 5 a.m. before they 27 .The young fellow asked me how much he 28 me and I told him that the petrol pump (加油泵) had 29 $15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”, but I wouldn’t accept it.About a month later, I received a 30 from Interstate, a large bus company that we had been trying to 31 to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time. It 32 out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager, the most 33 person in the company.In his letter, he thanked me again and 34 me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station. In this 35 , a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.16. A. kick B.hit C.beat D.knock17. A. finger B.shoulder C.head D.hand18. A. driven ed e D.run19.

All goldfish bowls are no longer allowed and dog owners must walk their dogs.This comes after a national law was passed to give prison sentences to people who desert cats or dogs.“The civilization of a city can be measured by this,” said Monica Carina, the councilor (议员) behind the new law.“It’s good to do whatever we can for our animals who in exchange for a little love fill our existence with their attention,” she told a Rome newspaper.The newspaper reported that round bowls don’t give enough oxygen for fish and may make them go blind.“Rome has tried to protect fish more than anywhere else in the world .It stands out for recognizing that fish are interesting animals who deserve（值得）over respect and compassion every bit as much as dogs and cats and other animals,” said Karin Robertson, a director of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.Last year a law was passed in Italy that gives people who desert pets big fines （罚款）and prison sentences. Since then local governments have added their own animal protection rules.The northern city of Turin passed a law in April to give pet owners fines of up to ＄598 if they do not walk their dogs three times a day.The new law in Ro me also says that owners mustn’t leave their dogs in hot cars or cut their dogs’ tails to make them look lovelies. The law also gives legal recognition to the “cat ladies” who feed homeless cats. The cats live all over the city from ancient ruins to modern office car parks.36. The new law passed in Rome will _____A. help improve fishing environmentB.guarantee better conditions for goldfishC.stop people from catching goldfishD.discourage keeping goldfish at home38. The underlined word “compassion” in P aragraph 6 is the closest in meaning to ____A. pityB.praiseC.supportD.popularity39. People may break the law in Turin if they _____A. keep their dogs or cats in carsB.feed homeless animals in car parksC.raise their cats near ancient ruinsD.shut their dogs home all day long改错Like many other places, our hometown is either facing the problem of pollution. Unfortunate, people there have realized the importance of protection the natural environment. Factories have been taken measures to stop pouring polluted water into the rivers. The citizens no longer put waste, such as rubbish or human waste into the rivers. Every year, a great number trees are planted. As a result, the water in the rivers are becoming cleaner and cleaner. The hills around the city were covered with green trees and the air there is much more fresher than before.完形填空16-20 DCDBD 21-25BDA CA 26-30 DA C DB 31-35ABDCD 36-39 BCAD66. either→also 67.
