like computers and personal digital assistants.The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole.Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver.A Swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste ,the concentration(含量) of gold and other precious metals was higher in so-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals.Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals.Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed ,the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries ,in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment.Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material ,up to 100 times more ,than the material contained in the finished products.Consider again the cell-phone ,and imagine the mines that produced those metals ,the factories needed to make the box and packaging(包装) it came in.Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well.The US Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that "the production ,distribution ,and use of products -as well as management of the resulting waste -all result in greenhouse gas release〞.Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start -for instance ,buying reusable products and recycling.In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive(动机) for reducing waste.If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products ,would they reduce the packaging in the first place?Governments ,incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money.Why ,they ask ,should cities or towns be responsible for payingto deal with the bubble wrap(气泡垫) that encased your television?From the governments , point of view ,a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers.33.By mentioning the Swiss study ,the author intends to tell us that .A.the weight of e-goods is rather smallB.e-waste deserves to be made good use ofC.natural minerals contain more precious metalsD.the percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste答案 B解析推理判断题.根据第二段可知该研究说明电子垃圾中的贵重金属含量很高,再根据全文的写作目的可知,作者意在说明电子垃圾值得被充分利用.因此选B .34.The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended .A.from producers to governmentsB.from governments to producersC.from individuals to distributorsD.from distributors to governments答案 B解析细节理解题.根据文章最|后一段可知,对电子垃圾的管理应该回到生产者那里,即以前是政府和纳税人对电子垃圾负责,现在应该转移到生产商那里.因此选B .35.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The increase in e-waste.B.The creation of e-waste.C.The seriousness of e-waste.D.The management of e-waste.答案 D解析主旨大意题.文章前半局部指出了电子垃圾的数量在不断增加及其危害,后半局部提出了如何处理这些垃圾,由此可推知,如何处理电子垃圾是文章的主旨,因此选D .第二节(共5小题;每题2分,总分值10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最|正确选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.(2021·湖南株洲质检)Americans are obsessed(着迷的) with telling their life stories.This phenomenon isn ,t simplythe product of the technological world. 36 People are eager to tell stories and are fascinated by those of others.Even at preschool , "sharing time〞is a common Monday-morning activity where the teenagers will sit in a circle and take turns telling a story about something they did over the weekend.37 In many Asian countries ,talking about and drawing attention to oneself can be seen as socially inappropriate.People are often unwilling to share their life stories and do not encourage others to do so.But there are also times when Asians do share their stories. 38 Asians believe that a person is largely decided by his or her social status and relationships ,leaving little reason to broadcast detailed and revealing personal stories to establish a unique self.Ironically ,the more unique Americans strive to be ,the greater their need to feel connected with others.In their culture of individuality ,relationships are highly mobile and can be easily formed or dissolved(破裂).Sharing personal stories brings them closer through the exchange of thoughts ,feelings and desires. 39 But this motivation is not nearly as strong among Asians ,for whom social relations are generally unconditional ,obligatory(义不容辞的) and stable ,and therefore require little maintenance(维护).40 American parents encourage children to share their stories and create opportunities to re-experience the past with n parents ,by contrast ,engage their children in telling personal stories less frequently.When they do talk about a child ,s experiences ,they are not particularly concerned with parent-child bonding but tend to focus on disciplining the child.A.They tend to focus more on outer facts than personal details.B.It helps them shape their "selves〞and makes them who they are.C.Interestingly ,this obsession is not necessarily shared in other cultures.D.Talking about personal stories is to cheer people on with positive feelings.E.It connects them like many different points ,holding their society together.F.Sharing personal stories is also an essential part in everyday conversations.G.Parents in America and Asia differ in how they share memories with children.语篇解读本文主要介绍了美国人和亚洲人在分享故事方面的文化差异 .36.答案 F解析根据空后的 "Even at preschool ,‘sharing time ,is a common Monday-morning activity...〞以及 "...something they did over the weekend〞,这些都是围绕 "sharing personal stories〞的话题展开的,周一开晨会讲述周末的活动是日常对话的构成局部,因此选F .37.答案 C解析根据空后的 "In many Asian countries ,talking about and drawing attention to oneself can be seen as socially inappropriate.〞可知,该段落主要是比照美国和亚洲国|家的文化差异.C项中的 "shared in other cultures〞与之相对应.所以选C .38.答案 A解析根据空后的 "Asians believe that a person is largely decided by his or her social status and relationships...〞可知,在亚洲,人的社会地位和关系很大程度上决定了个人,即使分享故事也倾向于一些外在的事实,而不会过多谈及个人的细节.A项与之相符.因此选A .39.答案 E解析根据空前的 "Sharing personal stories brings them closer through the exchange of thoughts...〞可知,关键的信息是brings them closer ,E项中的 "holding their society together〞与之属于同一个范畴.因此选E .40.答案G解析根据空后的 "American parents n parents ,by contrast...〞可知,该段落比照了美国和亚洲国|家的父母和小孩一起分享彼此故事的不同之处.因此选G .第三局部语言知识运用(共两节,总分值45分)第|一节(共20小题;每题1.5分,总分值30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最|正确选项.(2021·河南开封质检)Do you think an individual can make a

BQuicker and faster 3-D printers have allowed not just amazing objects to be created,but have started to affect how doctors treat patients.We’ve put together a list of some of the most amazing medical breakthroughs made possible with 3-D printing.Life-Saving AirwayIn 2013,doctors created a new airway for kaiba Gionfriddo,a boy born with an airway that kept collapsing(萎陷).To save his life doctors printed tiny tubes to join together in different shapes and sizes until one finally worked for Kaiba.It was placed in Kaiba’s bronchus(支气管) so that it no longer collapsed.Even more remarkably,once the plant was placed it could stay there.It’s designed to eventually be absorbed into the body.New “Bionic”HandsOne of the most remarkable ways 3-D printing is now being used is as a way to create prosthetics(假肢).A boy born without an arm named Alex was able to get a new “bionic”hand thanks to st year a college student spent 8 weeks coming up with a special prosthetic design that only cost a few hundred dollars in materials.He said he wanted to create a prosthetic far cheaper than other choices that can run tens of thousands of dollars.A Practice HeartIn Seattle,doctors have been able to use 3-D printing technology to “practice”risky operations so that they will face fewer surprises in the operating room.Kami Sutton was born with her heart “in the wrong place”.For a recent operation her doctor was able to take many scans of Sutton’s heart and print out a model.“Kami’s heart is truly one-of-a-kind,”Dr.Stephan Seslar,a heart disease specialist said.“Operating on her without understanding the structure of her heart better could be very dangerous.”A New SkullA U.K.man was able to have part of his skull rebuilt thanks to a 3-D printer.Stephen Power,broke his cheek bones in a crash.To help Power his doctors instead created 3-D bones all carefully printed in the shape of his face.“This is really the first time we’ve taken it to this stage,where everything has been planned and modeled in advance—and worked sweetly,”said Adrian Sugar,a doctor.4.What is special about the 3-D printed airway?A.It uses high-tech materials.B.It varies in shapes and sizes.C.It can be absorbed by the body.D.It can prevent any disease in the airway.答案 C【详细分析】细节理解题。

Ⅰ卷专练(四)Ⅰ.阅读理解The 11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughtslike “I never do anything right”into positive ones like “I can succeed.”But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right?Is there power in positive thinking?Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect:it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.The study’s authors,Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick,begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive,they actually feel worse,not better.If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein,you’re_just_underlining_his_faults.In one 1990s experiment,a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled.When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy,they felt even worse about what they had written.In this experiment,Wood,Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’self-esteem.The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes.Every 15 seconds,one group of students heard a bell.When it rang,they were supposed to tell themselves,“I am lovable.”Those with low self-esteem didn’t feel better after the forced self-affirmation.In fact,their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group,who weren’t urged to think positive thoughts.The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy(心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them.In the fighting,we not only often fail but can make things worse.Meditation(静思) techniques,in contrast,can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger,more realistic perspective.Call it the power of negative thinking.语篇解读本文属于科普类阅读,虽然积极的思维有好处,但是如果我们强迫那些自我认知程度较低的人去积极思维,不但不能提高其积极程度,反而会有相反的结果。
1.What do we learn from the first paragraph about the self-help industry?A.It is based on the concept of positive thinking.B.It is a highly profitable industry.C.It was established by Norman Vincent Peale.D.It has produced positive results.答案 A【详细分析】细节理解题。
根据首段第一句“The 11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like ‘I never do anything right’ into positive ones like ‘I can succeed.’”可知self-help industry是以人们的积极思维为基础的。
故A正确。
2.What is the finding of the Canadian researchers?A.There can be no simple treatment for psychological problems.B.Encouraging positive thinking may do more harm than good.C.Unhappy people cannot think positively.D.The power of positive thinking is limited.答案 B【详细分析】细节理解题。
根据第二、三段的内容可知鼓励人们积极思维可能带来相反的效果。
故B正确。
3.What does the author mean by “you’re just underlining his faults”in the third paragraph? A.You are not taking his mistakes seriously enough.B.You are pointing out the errors he has made.C.You are emphasizing the fact that he is not intelligent.D.You are trying to make him feel better about his faults.答案 C【详细分析】句意理解题。
本题关键是正确理解文章中的两个单词“underline(加强,强调)”与“dim(迟钝的,愚笨的)”。
该句是指你在强调他不聪明这个事实。
故C正确。
4.It can be inferred from the experiment of Wood,Lee and Perunovic that .A.it is important for people to continually keep their self-esteemB.self-affirmation can bring a positive change to one’s moodC.people with low self-esteem seldom write down their true feelingsD.forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem答案 D【详细分析】推理判断题。
根据第六段内容可知,强迫那些自尊较低的人进行自我肯定,那些人感觉并不好,他们的情绪可能会更糟糕。
其中的关键词“didn’t feel better;darker”也是提示。
故D正确。
Ⅱ.七选五A good laugh is like a mild workout.It exercises the muscles,gets the blood flowing,decreases blood pressure and improves sleep patterns and the immune system. 5Don’t take life too seriously.We all have obstacles in life and we all make mistakes. 6 In fact,if you can laugh light-heartedly at your own fault,you’ll find that you give yourself that extra happiness and confidence increase that can get you over any obstacle.Find the humor in a bad situation.Sure,there are some situations where you are really sad. 7 The next time you feel the stress levels rising,take a minute to think about the funny side of the situation and laugh over the things you cannot control.This will lower your blood pressure,blood sugar levels and heart rate.Remind yourself of funny moments from the past.Perhaps a friend told you a great joke the other day or your children or pets did something amusing. 8 Sometimes just reliving a funny moment can cause the endorphins(内啡肽),natural painkillers,to kick in.9 As the saying goes,laughter is contagious(会传染的).So make a point of seeking out positive people who aren’t afraid to laugh at themselves and are good at finding humor in life’s situations.Young children are especially skilled at finding laughter and joy in everyday moments. A.Take control over your emotions.B.There is no reason to blame yourself for it.C.However,most situations in life have funny sides.D.Surround yourself with fun people who like to laugh a lot.E.The following are some ways to enjoy more laughter and joy in your life.F.Studies show that people with pets have lower levels of depression and stress.G.Call on these memories frequently,especially when feeling sad,angry or stressed.语篇解读本文属于说明文,告诉我们大笑对健康很有好处,同时文章中还给出了让我们更快乐有更多笑声的三个建议。
