(A)Tips on how to save moneyIt's important for you teenagers to know how to save money. You know that the money you save can be for rainy days and be used to pay through your college education. If you think it's a difficult task and don't know how to do it, please do as the following.1.My dad always tells me that if one doesn't respect money, it will never respect you. Hence，it's important that you keep a record of your daily expenses. Make it a habit to write down all that you have spent. And when you find out the total expenses at the end of the month, you will realize what you have spent more money in doing. 2.Open a savings account.Opening a savings account is a better way to save money.You can setagoal；say(for example), the money is for a new notebook or for college, and then save，until you have enough money to buy a notebook or until you go to college. 3.Do not carry much cash.Do you have the habit of not leaving a store without buying anything? The only way to stop that is carrying less money around with you. Go to the store with the minimum amount of money，which will not even help you buy a drink. 4.Save the changes.Save the changes that you get back. If you have gone to a shop to buy something and get back some changes, then do not spend them. 5. And you'll be surprised at the huge amount of money after days.Follow these tips above, and thus you can save a lot of money. And surely, they'll help you to be more responsible in your life.A. Keep a record of your daily expenses.B. After a few days, you'll get rid of this habit.C. Instead, you can save them in your piggy bank.D. By that time, you will realize the importance of saving money.E. Saving money builds your financial power and personal freedom.F. Next month, you will automatically try and save more in that part.G. Nowadays in the developed and developing countries, people are all working for the sake of earning money.(B)How to communicate betterEach of us must communicate with others in this world. Sometimes communication is easy and your behavior is in harmony with(与．.....协调一致)others.1. There are times when you are completely misunderstood. Therefore, it is really necessary to follow the tips below to increase your communication skills.Nod your head.People can think far faster than you can talk. If you want someone to agree with you, nod your head slightly up and down.2.Be respectful of space.Everyone has a spatial (空间的) requirement.3. Most people are not close talkers. Standing too close during conversations makes some people want to jump out of their skin(大吃一惊). Keep this in mind, especially if you've eaten garlic for lunch.Smile.Smiling will not only make you feel better, but also make whomever you are speaking with feel better.4. This takes practice, but the benefits of learning how to eye smile can produce communication candy.5.When you first meet someone，be sure to shake his hand firmly and look directly into his eyes with a smile. There is nothing worse than receiving a careless handshake from someone. Handshakes can tell you a lot about people.A. Smile with your eyes.B. Have a firm handshake.C. However, this is not always the case.D. If you don't have anything good to say, say nothing.E. Don't stand too close to someone that you are speaking with.F．There are many ways that we can improve our communication skills.G．This body language will encourage whomever you are speaking with to agree with you.Ⅱ.语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
读美高的孩子需要做哪些作业呢？
读美高的孩子需要做哪些作业呢？美国高中,美国高中留学,美国高中作业很多人提起美国的教育，都认为在美国读书要比在国内轻松，特别是在作业方面。
很多人都有一种错觉，在美国上学作业很少，而且作业也很好完成。
但是事实真的如此吗?今天，天道小编就给大家揭秘一下在美国高中上学的学生的作业清单是什么样的。
国内高中生的家庭作业与美国高中生相比，很难简单用“多与少”衡量。
我国高中生作业，习题和题目要求都在教科书，习题书里，都有标准答案，学生只要按要求去完成，最后得出与标准答案一致的结果就可以了。
而美国高中生作业形式灵活，作业内容多，强度也不低，美国小孩每天完成作业也要几个小时，甚至几天才能完成。
最突出的特点是阅读量大，很多作业没有标准答案，尤其是文科类作业，老师只出题目，剩下的事都要靠学生自己去发挥，比如写报告，做项目，演讲等。
有时候一些作业学生很难一个人在家里独立完成，一般由几个同学一起共同研究，携手合作。
英语作业老师除了要留一些生词记忆作业外，大多是要求读教材，读小说，甚至看电影。
要求学生归纳总结出读书摘要，报告和书评。
有的英语作业还让学生作诗，编童话，看名著改编的电影等。
西班牙语作业西班牙语作业也常常别出心裁，超出我国外语作业的定式。
讲课的老师是西班牙裔，老师们会出一些有关拉美西班牙语国家的经济，地理，历史和习俗等常识性问答题。
与国内高中外语教学强调背单词，记语法，读课本等方式相比，美国的外语教学更重视通过一门外语的学习，来了解那个国家的文化，使学生们通过对那个国家文化的热爱和好奇，产生对一门外语的兴趣。
比如一些美国小孩就是出于对中国功夫片和对日本动画片的喜欢，才决定学中文和日文的。
历史作业通常老师会让学生读反映相关题材的小说，看历史纪录片。
比如，老师讲完“珍珠港事件”这段历史后，老师先布置读相关小说“广岛”，再安排学生看纪实片“珍珠港”，从多角度加深学生们对这段历史的认识和理解。
而国内的历史课，只需要一盏灯，一本书，背到深夜12点，考试就会过关。

毛坦厂中学(zhōngxué)2021届高三英语下学期假期作业〔2.20〕Ⅰ.阅读理解Foxes and farmers have never got on well.These small doglike animals have long been accused of killing farm animals.They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population.Hunting consists of running after a fox across the countryside，with a group of specially trained dogs，followed by men and women riding horses.When the dogs eventually catch the fox，they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport.They wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers，and follow strict rules of behavior.But owning a horse and hunting regularly are expensive，so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100，000 people watch or take part in foxhunting.But over the last couple of decades the number of people who are against foxhunting，because they think it is brutal (残暴的)，has risen sharply.Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt opponents (阻止者)．Sometimes these incidents lead to violence，but mostly opponents discourage the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail o f the fox’s smell，which the dogs follow.Noisy conflicts between hunters and opponents have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as running after foxes itself.Butthis year supporters of foxhunting face a much bigger threat to t heir sport.A Labour Party member of Parliament(英国议会)，Mike Foster，is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal.If the law is passed，wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.1．Wealthy people in Britain have been hunting foxes to．A．benefit the farmersB．get entertainmentC．show off their wealthD．limit the fox population2．The opponents of foxhunting often discourage the game by ．A．using violenceB．taking legal actionC．seeking help from farmersD．confusing the fox hunters3．A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to．A．protect wild animals like foxesB．control foxhunting on a large scaleC．prohibit farmers from hunting foxesD．standardize the behavior of foxhunting4．What can be inferred from this passage?A．Limiting the fox population is unnecessary at all.B．Killing foxes with poison is not allowed by the law.C．Hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent.D．Foxhunting causes conflicts between hunters and farmers.Ⅱ.完形填空Alexander the Great was the great Macedonian (马其顿) Emperor.As a young man he once 1 himself a famous horse with his extraordinary power of observation and wisdom.One day，his father，King Philip，received a horse as a(n) 2 ．Together with some of his men as well as the prince，the King 3 with him his new horse out on a wide plain to 4 ．But they soon found that the horse was very 5 ．It kicked and shouted loudly so that no one could get on its back.The King was 6 and gave orders for 7 to be taken back at once.But the prince，Alexander，was sorry to 8 this.“It's a pity to 9 such a fine horse just because 10 man is brave enough to get on it，〞 said he.“Your 11 are brave，〞said the King，feeling that his son 12 without thinking.“But are you brave enough to do that？〞The young man went up to the nervous animal，took the bridle (缰绳(jiāng shéng)) and turned its 13 to the sun.He did so because he had 14 that the horse was afraid of its own shadow 15 kept moving upon the ground before his eyes.With its face to the sun，the horse could no longer see the shadow.It soon became 16 ．The young man patted it 17 and by and by he jumped upon its back.Then it set 18 at a great speed with the brave prince holding on.It ran farther and farther into the plain till at last it became tired and Alexander rode it back.The horse was thus given to the brave man.For many years it fought battle after battle together with him.One day in a fierce battle，both of them got seriously 19 ．The horse struggled to carry Alexander on its back and ran home.Then it died. 20 his horse，Alexander had a city built and named thecity Bucephalus，which was the name of his horse.1．A.brought B．gaveC．declared D．won2．A.honor B．prizeC．present D．reward3.

Moreover，I've always believed that it's human nature to want free stuff，regardless of whether you actually need it or not.This may not be a good quality，8.it's not against the law，so I won't get all judgmental here.9.(consider) these reasons，I really can't fault anyone for their enthusiasm in grabbing virtual red envelopes.I would have done it too，10.I not thought linking WeChat to my bank accounts was too much trouble.Ⅳ.写作(xiězuò)假设你叫李华，现就读于大学，你高中母校的英语校报现面向优秀毕业生征稿，请你用英语给母校写一封信。

The partnership is beneficial for both parties involved, plants provide carbohydrates (碳水化合物) to the funguses and in exchange, the funguses aid in gathering water and providing nutrients to its partnering plant.A study conducted by Rensen Zeng of theSouthChinaAgriculturalUniversityfound that this also allowed for plants to warn one another of potential harm. The study showed Broad Beans used the fungal network to spy on one another for upcoming danger.Like our Internet, this fungal connectivity is also full of crime. Some plants, such as Golden Marigolds have been found to release poisons into the network to slow down the growth of surrounding plants in the fight for water and light. Other plants, such as the Phantom Orchid, do not have the chlorophyll (叶绿素) and must get the necessary nutrients from surrounding plants.Research suggests that animals such as insects and worms may be able to detect slight exchanges of nutrients through the network, allowing them to more easily find delicious roots to feed on; however, this has not been conclusively made clear in experimentation. The more we learn about this phenomenon, the more ourunderstanding of the plant life of our planet will continue to change. Perhaps one day, we may be able to map out these complex networks entirely.4. What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To explain the aim of the web.B. To introduce the main topic.C.

Animals can also feed on the fungus.B. Nutrient exchanges are too slight to detect.C. No experiment can prove the phenomenon.D. More needs to be done to work out the network.7. Which can be the best title for the text?A. The Partnership between PlantsB. The Unknown Roots of the EarthC. The Superhighway Linking the PlantsD.

2021年高中英语M2综合测试题外研版必修3一、阅读明白得 (每题2分)ATown twinning is also known as partnering towns or sister cities.It refers to the idea of pairing cities across the world as a way to build human and cultural links(联系) among nations.The first official(官方的) town twinning happened in 1930 between the cities of Klagenfurt，Austria and Wiesbaden，Germany.However，town twinning actually didn't become popular until after WWⅡ.Developed in Europe as a way of creating friendship and understanding between the countries suffering from the war，town twinning quickly spread outside Europe as well. In 1944，Vancouver became the first city to be paired with a transatlantic(横渡大西洋的) sister city，when it was linked to Odessa，in Ukraine.The pairing was a great way for both cities to provide support to each other during the war.Town twinning is considered so important that the European Union spends about 12 million Euros a year to support it.This often leads to cultural exchange，trades and student exchanges.Town twinning often pairs cities with a lot in common，such as similar population，same names，or similar development problems.For example，Toledo，Spain and Toledo，America，are twin cities.Certain countries have preferences when choosing cities.For example,50 percent of the town twinnings founded in the United Kingdom are with France.There're no agreed rules as to the number of town twinnings a city can have.For example，the city of Las Vegas has only one town twinning，pairing with Banes，Cuba.On the other hand，New York City has fifteen twin cities：Tokyo，Beijing，Cairo，Rome，Sydney，London，and so on.Town twinning is a very popular system with students and young people，as youth clubs，junior colleges，and voluntary groups often organize exchanges between the paired cities.Most cities have a town twinning association，which deals with anything that has to do with exchanges between the sister cities.1．The first official town twinning was founded ________.A．before WWⅡ B．during WWⅡ C．at the end of WWⅡ D．after WW2．In the beginning，most sister cities were created to ________.A．fight against the war B．develop their tradeC．support each other D．rebuild their cities3．According to the text，the European Union ________.A．tries to prevent town twinning B．cares little about town twinningC．mainly encourages links between the UK and FranceD．supports town twinning very much4．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A．How to increase town twinnings. B．How to choose a sister city.C．The problems of town twinning. D．The history of town twinning.5．Which of the following are NOT twin cities?A．Toledo，Spain and Toledo，America B．Las Vegas，America and Banes，Cuba C．Beijing，China and New York，America D．Sydney，Australia and Tokyo，JapanBO·Henry was a pen name used by an American writer of short stories.His real name was William Sydney Porter.He was born in North Carolina in 1862.As a young boy he lived an exciting life.He did not go to school for very long，but he managed to teach himself everything he needed to know.When he was about 20 years old，O·Henry went to Texas，where he tried different jobs.He first worked on a newspaper，and then had a job in a bank.When some money went missing from the bank，O·Henry wa s believed to have stolen it.Because of that，he was sent to prison.During the three years in prison，he learned to write short stories.After he got out of prison，he went to New York and continued writing.He wrote mostly about New York and the life of the poor there.People liked hisstories，because simple as the tales were，they would finish with a sudden change at the end，to the reader’s surprise.6．In which order did O·Henry do the following things?a．Lived in New York. b．Worked in a bank.c．Traveled to Texas. d．Was put in prison.e．Had a newspaper job. f．Learned to write stories.A．e，c，f，b，d，a B．c，e，b，d，f，aC．e，b，d，c，a，f D．c，b，e，d，a，f7．People enjoyed reading O·Henry’s stories because________.A．they had surprise endings B．they were easy to understandC．they showed his love for the poor D．they were about New York City8．O·Henry went to prison because________.A．people thought he had stolen money from the newspaperB．he broke the law by not using his own nameC．he wanted to write stories about prisonersD．people thought he had taken money that was not his9．What do we know about O·Henry before he began writing?A．He was welleducated.

课时作业2：Unit 3 Sports and Fitness
UNIT 3SPORTS AND FITNESSⅠ.阅读理解A(2021年1月·八省市高考模拟卷)Magic is a form of entertainment that is based on pretending to do things that are impossible.The magician is a specially trained actor.He tries to make the audience believe that he has the power to do things which are against the laws of nature.Magic shows are entertaining as long as the audience does not discover how the tricks are done.The magician usually depends on his skill with his hands, on his knowledge of psychology, and, sometimes, on mechanical devices(机械装置).Since magic performance is meant to trick people, the use of psychology is important.The magician must keep people from noticing all the movements of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment.He must also lead the audience to draw false conclusions.The magician’s success depends on the fact that many things seen by the eye are not the things that matter.Two basic magic tricks are making objects seem to appear and making objects seem to disappear.A combination of these two tricks makes for some interesting effects.For example, the magician puts a small ball under one of several cups.The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change colour.What actually happens is that the magician, employing quick hand movements or a mechanical device, hides one ball.While doing this he talks to the audience and waves a brightly coloured cloth with one hand.The audience is too busy watching the cloth and listening to the magician’s words to notice that his other hand is hiding the ball.Another favourite trick is to cut or burn something, and then make it appear whole again.What actually happens is that the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quickly hiding it while the audience watches something else.Then he “magically” makes it appear whole again by displaying(展示)another object that has not been cut or burned.【语篇解读】本文是说明文。
