For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but 8 clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s9 . On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 10 of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to 11 their actions.Psychologists say that 12 is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should 13 to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say.

广东省2021届高考英语试卷和答案解析(新2021届高考Ⅰ)

2021年广东省高考英语试卷（新高考Ⅰ）ARome can be pricey for travelers,which is why many choose to stay in a hostel（旅社）.The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around ＄25 a night,and for that,you'll often get to stay in a central location （位置）with security and comfort.Yellow HostelIf I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome,it would be Yellow Hostel.It's one of the best-rated hostels in the city,and for good reason.It's affordable,and it's got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy.As an added bonus,it's close to the main train station.Hostel Alessandro PalaceIf you love social hostels,this is the best hostel for you in Rome.Hostel Alessandro Palace is fun.Staff members hold plenty of bar events for guests like free shots,bar crawls and karaoke.There's also an area on the rooftop for hanging out with other travelers during the summer.Youth Station HostelIf you're looking for cleanliness and a modern hostel,look no further than Youth Station.It offers beautiful furnishings and beds.There are plenty of other benefits,too；it doesn't charge city tax；it has both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms；it also has free Wi-Fi in every room.Hotel and Hostel Des ArtistesHotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from the central city station and it's close to all of the city's main attractions.The staff is friendly and helpful,providing you with a map of the city when you arrive,and offering advice if you require some.However,you need to pay 2 euros a day for Wi-Fi.1. What is probably the major concern of travelers who choose to stay in a hostel？______A. Comfort.B. Security.C. Price.D. Location.2. Which hotel best suits people who enjoy an active social life？______A. Yellow Hostel.B. Hostel Alessandro Palace.C. Youth Station Hostel.D. Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes.3. What is the disadvantage of Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes？______A. It gets noisy at night.B. Its staff is too talkative.C. It charges for Wi-Fi.D. It's inconveniently located.BBy day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner. "I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's official page turner for thepast four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn't have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage."A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot." Mr Titterton explained. Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of "nodding" to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. "I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand," Mr Titterton said, "Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back."Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage."My husband is the worst page turner," she laughed. "He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!' Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life."4. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner? ______A. Read music.B. Play the piano.C. Sing songs.D. Fix the instruments.5. Which of the following best describes Titterton's job on stage? ______A. Boring.B. Well-paid.C. Demanding.D. Dangerous.6. What does Titterton need to practise? ______A. Counting the pages.B. Recognizing the "nodding".C. Catching falling objects.D. Performing in his own style.7. Why is Ms Raspopova's husband "the worse page turner"? ______A. He has very poor eyesight.B. He ignores the audience.C. He has no interest in music.D. He forgets to do his job.CWhen the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America,the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately,it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimatea large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl（水禽）were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations,greatly reducing waterfowl habitat （栖息地）.In 1934，with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act （Act），an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory （迁徙的）waterfowl and the wetlands so vitalto their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. "Ding" Darling,a political cartoonist from Des Moines,Iowa,who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System- a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934，better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.8. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America？A. Loss of wetlands.B. Popularity of water sports.C. Pollution of rivers.D. Arrival of other wild animals.9. What does the underlined word "decimate" mean in the first paragraph？A. Acquire.B. Export.C. Destroy.D. Distribute.10. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934？A. The stamp price has gone down.B. The migratory birds have flown away.C. The hunters have stopped hunting.D. The government has collected money.11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？A. The Federal Duck Stamp StoryB. The National Wildlife Refuge SystemC. The Benefits of Saving WaterfowlD. The History of Migratory Bird HuntingDPopularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and "people skills". Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionallyintelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.12. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A. It can be measured by an IQ test.B. It helps to exercise a person's mind.C. It includes a set of emotional skills.D. It refers to a person's positive qualities.13. Why does the author mention "doctor" and "cheater" in Paragraph 2?A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a fact.D. To make a prediction.14. What is the author's attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A. Its appeal to the public.B. Expectations for future studies.C. Its practical application.D. Scientists with new perspectives.My husband and I just spent a week in Paris.

2021年广东d卷pink lake英语听说

2021年广东d卷pink lake英语听说2021年广东d卷Pink Lake英语听说的考题范围涵盖了阅读理解和口语表达两个方面。

这个考题旨在考察学生对于Pink Lake的了解以及其在环境保护方面的意义。

下面我将从Pink Lake的形成原因、环境保护问题以及相关的措施等方面进行论述。

Pink Lake简介Pink Lake位于澳大利亚西澳大利亚州境内，得名于其湖水在特定的光照下呈现粉红色。

这种奇特的现象是由于湖水中含有一种叫做红色叶浆酸菌的微生物，这类微生物在特定气候条件下生长繁殖，使得湖面呈现出迷人的粉红色。

形成原因Pink Lake之所以能够呈现出如此美丽的粉红色，是因为湖水中的红色叶浆酸菌对光的反射和吸收产生了特殊的影响。

当阳光照射到湖面上的红色叶浆酸菌时，它们会吸收蓝绿色的光线，而反射回来的光线则呈现出粉红色。

这种光学现象赋予了Pink Lake独特的色彩。

环境保护问题然而，近年来，Pink Lake面临着诸多环境保护问题。

首先，由于人为原因，湖水中的红色叶浆酸菌数量出现下降，导致粉红色的湖面逐渐变淡。

其次，过度旅游和开发也给Pink Lake所在地的生态环境带来了威胁。

大量游客的涌入和建设项目的开展破坏了湖泊周围的植被和动物栖息地。

保护措施为了保护Pink Lake的生态环境和独特之美，采取了一系列的保护措施。

首先，政府加强了对湖泊周边的开发限制，控制游客的数量和行为，保护湖泊的自然状态。

其次，开展环境教育活动，增强公众对Pink Lake的保护意识，通过提高大众的环保意识来实现可持续发展。

未来展望随着人们对于环境保护意识的不断增强，相信Pink Lake能够得到更好地保护和治理。

通过合理的规划和管理，保持湖泊的生态平衡，使得红色叶浆酸菌能够继续繁衍生长，湖面上的粉红色得以延续。

同时，加强科学研究，深入探索红色叶浆酸菌的生长机制，为更好地保护其他类似的自然奇观提供参考。

结语Pink Lake作为一处独特的自然景观，不仅给人们带来了视觉上的享受，也提醒我们要加强对自然环境的保护和治理。

You can save over $650 a year when your child uses a Go card every school day. Notes:School students over the age of 15 must hold a valid student ID to buy a student Go card.Auto topupTo ensure enough travel credit is on your child’s Go card, the easiest way is to set up auto topup. Auto topup has the following characteristics:contactless card transactions (交易)no need for your child to carry travel moneyIt only takes 5 minutes to set up on the Go card website.You have the option to receive topup text messages.Credit can be accessed and transferred to a new card if the old one is lost or stolen.1. What’s the Public Transport Guide aimed at?A. Providing the best routes to all schools.B. Developing students’ ability to travel alone.C. Explaining the use of different kinds of bus cards.D. Assisting parents to arrange their kids’ homeschool trips.2.

What is good about auto topup?A. It helps find the lost card quickly.B. It ensures the security of travel credit.C. It offers an extra concession for every payment.D. It allows users to visit the Go card website for free.BAt our sixyearold’s soccer practice this past weekend, I looked around and found our eightyearold making a big dirt hill at the bottom of a sliding board, so he could drive his cars up the slide and watch them roll down into his pile.I saw him holding dirt with his hands and moving it over to his hill. I saw the dirt falling on his trousers and his shoes on the way to the slide. I watched as he climbed the ladder, only to slide down the slide and fall into that pile of dirt. Instead of telling him to stop and watch his brother, we both just laughed because we knew that playing is learning. As Albert Einstein once said, “Play is the highest form of research.”We watched him play and enjoyed the feet that he was learning while he made a cool masterpiece over there. Clothes can be washed, hands can be cleaned, and shoes can be scrubbed (刷洗). We remember we are raising kids who know how to play and create, not kids that are afraid to get their hands dirty.We decided a long time ago, when our first son was young, that we weren’t going to let exhaustion or convenience get the best of us. It is easier to tell our kids not to get messy than to have to soak (浸泡) those clothes for the night. Also, it is more convenient to bring an iPad and have them sit beside us quietly. But we don’t want those for our kids.When a human sits for longer than about 20 minutes, the physiology (生理机能) of the brain and body changes. The brain basically just falls asleep when we sit for too long. Moving and being active stimulate the neurons (神经元) that fire in the brain.Looking back on our childhoods, we appreciate the effect playground experiences had on who we ultimately became. These crucial, formative experiences shape children into thinkers, dreamers, and leaders.4. How did the author respond to her son’s playing with dirt?A. She felt helpless.B. She appreciated it.C.

Sitting for too long is bad for your healthD. Cooperation plays a key role in kids’ growthCSeven years ago, I built a program to write an article on the play Chitra. First it selected infonnation about Chitra from the Internet. Then it looked at existing entries to learn the structure for a standard article. Finally, it summarized the information from the Internet to write and publish the first version of the entry. The program didn’t “know”anything about Chitra. It simply pieced together parts of existing sentences from existing articles to make new ones.Fast forward to 2020. OpenAI, a forprofit pany, built a language generation program called Generative Pretrained Transformer 3 (GPT3). Its ability to learn, summarize and pose text has staggered puter scientists like me. The language generated by GPT3 sounds as if it had been written by a human.The knowledge displayed by GPT3’s language model is remarkable, especially since it hasn’t been “taught”by a human. The traditional machine learning is supervised (监督的) learning where people provide the puter with annotated (有注解的) examples of objects. It’s timeconsuming and expensive. GPT3 takes natural language processing closer toward imsupcrvised learning. GPT3’s vast training datasets and huge processing capacity enable the system to learn from just one example where it is given a task description and one demonstration and can then plete the task. With zeroshot learning, the accuracy decreases, but GPT3’s abilities are nonetheless accurate to a striking degree.In early September, a puter scientist named Liam Porr used GPT3 to “write an article”. GPT3 produced eight different essays as instructed, and The Guardian ended up publishing an article using some of the best parts from each essay. Editing GPT3’s article, the editors noted, was no different from editing an article written by a human.Despite GPT3’s reassurances, OpenAI has yet to release the model for opensource use, because the pany worries that the technology could be deliberately used in a way that is wrong. It’s not difficult to see how it could be used to generate lots of disinformation. The technology will bee only more powerful. It’ll be up to humans to work out and regulate its potential uses and abuses,8. What could be described about the author’s writing program?A. It started with the understanding of Chitra’s background.B. It didn’t follow the structure of the standard article.C. It’s just a way of putting together information.D. It tried to make innovations about the play.9. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Surprised.B. Disappointed.C. Confused,D. Approved.10. Why are Liam Porr and The Guardian mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. To confirm GPT3’s popularity.B. To show GPT3’s practicability.C. To explain GPT3’s range of application.D. To prove the need of improvement for GPT3.11. What makes GPT3 unavailable on the market?A. The fear of its potential abuses.B. The wish to make it more powerful.C. The waiting for the best market timing.D. The disinformation it generated during experiments.DThe “Dust Bowl”of the 1930s saw high winds and choking dust move their way across the Great Plains of the US. The disaster was a result of both manmade and natural causes. As farmers sought to grow their way out of the economic hardship of the Great Depression, they used newly mechanised equipment to turn soilstabilising grasses to crops.A similar pattern has been developing today. Writing in Geophysical Research Letters, a group of climatologists from the University of Utah has shown that since 2000, dust cover in the Great Plains has been increasing by five percent per year. A chief contributor to this rise is the 2005 Cora Ethanol Mandate which turned native grasslands in the Great Plains into fields of — a raw material of biofuels. It helped make up the nation's declining gas reserves with renewable biofuels. Anna GannetHaller, the study’s lead author, says that farmers are actively encouraged to use marginal (边际的) lands. “Across the US, farmers buy crop insurance subsidized (补贴) by the federal government, which promises them that they won’t lose money by forming more land,”she says. “As a result, insurance policies have a hand in thickening the dust cover. It’s not that farmers aren’t deserving the government’s help. There are just better ways to promote farming without encouraging expansion into marginal lands.”One approach is to preserve soil quality. The federal government began to educate farmers on soil conservation techniques and encouraged them to adopt planting and plowing (耕地) methods that conserved the soil. Since farmers hesitated to apply new methods to their land for it may result in lower ines, the government paid farmers a dollar an acre which seems to be a drop in the bucket for farmers. It also planted the Great Plains Shelterbelt, a huge belt of more than 200 million trees.The biofuel boom saw power plants emerge across the “grain belt”of the Great Plains, creating new labour opportunities for rural economies. The Renewable Fuels Association estimates that 49,937 jobs were created by Iowa’s biofuel industryalone. However, without intervention, the dust is only likely to worsen. The Great Plains are once again in severe drought.12. What’s the purpose of the 2005 Ethanol Mandate?A. Making better use of the nation’s gas reserves.B. Increasing farmers’ economic opportunities.C. Solving the problem of energy reduction.D. Helping prevent dust storms.13. What’s Anna’s attitude towards the insurance policies?A. Objective.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Unknown.14. Why did the government pay farmers a dollar an acre?A. To subsidize their losses due to natural disasters.B. To help them learn advanced techniques.C. To encourage them to use new methods.D. To award them for planting trees.15. What can we learn from the text?A. Ecology and development should go hand in hand.B. The government should put farmers’ interests first.C. Renewable biofuels have a promising future.D. Crops are the foundation of our existence.第二节(共5小题；每小题分，满分分)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。
