A Best books for 12to 14-year-oldsMortal EnginesAuthor:Philip ReevePublisher:ScholasticLondon is on the move again:the city searches the world for resources on wheels,eating smaller towns.But when he is thrown off the city,young hero Tom is soon forced to reexamine life as he knows it.Set in a futuristic (科幻性的)background,this imaginative story is a combination of action and adventure.The book has won the Blue Peter Book Award.Coram BoyAuthor:Jamila GavinPublisher:EgmontToby’s and Aaron’s lives are linked by the Coram Man,who collects unwanted children from across the country,supposedly to send them to a safe new life.In reality,the man sells the children into slavery (奴役).Soon,Toby and Aaron find themselves united on a journey,filled with danger and excitement.Rich with historical detail,this book provides an important insight into the 1750s society.It was a winner of the Whitbread Children’s Book Award.The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-TimeAuthor:Mark HaddonPublisher:Red FoxSeen through the eyes of Christopher,a mathematical genius and Sherlock Holmes fan,this novel begins with the discovery of a dead dog on a neighbor’s lawn.In his search to discover the identity of thekiller,Christopher uncovers some information about his own family and he starts a journey to London to find his mother.Watership DownAuthor:Richard AdamsPublisher:PenguinYoung rabbit Fiver believes that a great disaster is about to strike the place where he lives—but no one will listen to him.At last he manages to ask a few brave rabbits to leave before it’s too late.Hunted by dogs and foxes,their journey is a dangerous one—but the rabbits can still dream of a peaceful and safe new life at Watership Down.This book won both the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize and the Carnegie Medal.21.Which book was published by Penguin?A.Coram Boy.B.Mortal Engines.C.Watership Down.D.The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.22.What information can we get from the book Coram Boy?A.Its main characters are Toby and Aaron.B.It is about some rabbits escaping a disaster.C.It won the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize.D.Its content involves the background of a future society.23.How does Christopher find some information about his family?A.When taking his trip to London.B.When working with Sherlock Holmes.C.When trying to find the identify of a killer.D.When communicating with a mathematical genius.BGetting to Antarctica is not easy.The few who are lucky enough to visit this most mysterious continent do so by ship.To reach Antarctica,ships must pass through an extremely violent area of ocean called the Drake Passage,considered to be the roughest stretch of sea on the planet.Walls of water thirty,sometimes forty feet high continually crashed against our ship for two solid days. We would hold on to a rope inside the ship while being violently tipped(倾斜)to one extreme side,then to the other,and then back again.My daughter Claire and I were as mentally prepared as we could be.About two and a half days after entering the Drake Passage,the waters calmed.Soon,we noticed small black spots on nearby pieces of floating ice.Emperor penguins!Then,we began the two-mile hike over the ice to the penguin colony.Within several hundred yards,small groups of emperors,perhaps ten or so at a time,greeted us,sliding on their bellies and making their wonderful noises,sort of a long, high-pitched sound.One day two adult emperors with their three chicks following them approached Claire,who was resting on the ice.They left the chicks with her,as if she were the babysitter.Twenty minutes later they returned to collect the chicks.And I will never forget the penguin that, when I jokingly asked which way back to the helicopters,pointed a wing in the correct direction.Every night aboard our safe and warm ship,we thought about what it takes to survive in Antarctica,an incrediblyharsh place.But each day on the ice,we also thought about the Drake Passage,the impact of the large body of water we had to endure to get where we were.Over the course of our visit,we came to respect the power of that sea.We still talk about the penguins,as I’m sure we always will.But we talk about the Drake Passage, too.Both experiences were unforgettable,and one would not have been possible without the other.24.Why is the Drake Passage mentioned in the first paragraph?A.The water in the area is usually calm.B.People can see very attractive scenery there.C.A lot of sea animals often appear in the area.D.It is quite a dangerous section of the journey.25.What is the theme of the third paragraph?A.The visitors appreciated the penguins.B.The living habits of emperor penguins.C.How penguins made their wonderful noises.D.The appearance and shape of emperor penguins.26.What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?A.Penguins try to avoid human beings.B.Penguins are not afraid of human beings.C.Claire played with the two adult penguins for a long time.D.Claire led the young penguins to where the adult penguins stayed.27.What does the underlined word“endure”in the last paragraph mean?A.Promote.B.Break.C.Arrange.D.Experience.CPortia Kapraun has always seen unwelcome ads on Twitter,usually from major brands pitching(竭力推销)her expensive jewelry or vehicles that she,as a librarian in Indiana,could not afford.Ms.Kapraun was not interested.But she soon saw the ads again.And again.And again.“These feel like low-end ads,”she said.In a shaky advertising market in an uncertain economy,ads that few people want to see suddenly seem to be everywhere.Advancements in digital advertising technology were meant to improve users’experience.People interested in shoes are intended to get ads for sneakers and boots,not repeated pitches promoting gold investments.And the technology is supposed to remove misleading or dangerous pitches.But lately,on several platforms,the opposite seems to be happening for a variety of reasons,including a slowdown in the overall digital ad market.As numerous deep-pocketed marketers have pulled back,and the softer market has led several digital platforms to lower their ad pricing,opportunities have opened up for less demanding advertisers.Advertising experts agree that poor-quality ads appear to be increasing greatly.They point to a variety of potential causes:internal troubles at technology companies,weak content moderation(审核),and high-level advertisers seeking other choices.Then,there’s the economy:A recent survey of43 multinational companies representing more than$44billion in advertising spending found that nearly30 percent planned to cut back on their marketing spending last year.Other factors are also contributing to lower advertising quality.Social media advertising,once only practiced by specialists,is now easily available to anyone.Many of them are avoiding targeted ads—placements intended to reach specific audiences,usually at a higher cost—in favor of a cheaper spray-and-pray(广撒网式的)approach online,hoping to catch the attention of gullible(容易受骗的)or bored shoppers.Major social media platforms are now like“a mall that used to be good”,CoreyRichardson,vice president at a multicultural ad company,says.“But now there’s no longer a mall there—it’s just a calendar store and a place sling beepers(传呼机).”28.What message does the author want to deliver in Portia Kapraun’s story?A.Repeated ads have a strong power of persuasion.B.Social media users often encounter unwanted ads.C.Major brands usually prefer social media advertising.D.An uncertain economy leads to lower levels of consumption.29.What can be inferred about the“less demanding advertisers”mentioned in Paragraph2?A.They are forced to exit the digital ad market.B.They have benefited from advertising experts.C.They can now advertise at a more affordable price.D.They work hard to improve their users’experience.30.What is Corey Richardson’s attitude to major social media platforms?A.Favorable.B.HopefulC.Unclear.D.Negative.31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Where is social media advertising heading?B.What is shaking up the online advertising market?C.Why are you seeing so many bad digital ads now?D.How are targeted ads impacting your purchase decisions?DBoth Roberto and Keith have a45-minute commute(通勤)time from their homes to their workplace. When Roberto drives,he has realistic expectations of how others drive and how long the trip should take. Overall,he is able to adapt to any unexpected challenges he may face on the road.He rarely becomes angry. By contrast,Keith drives with a tendency for becoming angry easily,partly due to unrealistic expectations of other drivers,his quickness to personalize and feel threatened by the actions of others,and his inability to calm his anger.The difference between how Roberto and Keith experience their drive to work,especially with regard to getting angry,is influenced very much by their emotional intelligence.Emotional intelligence is crucial for helping individuals choose constructive over destructive anger.A key aspect of healthy anger is being able to pause and reflect on,rather than react to,our thoughts,feelings,and senses associated with getting angry.Self-regulation and empathy(同理心)are two important components of emotional intelligence,which can be a buffer(缓冲)against destructive anger.Self-regulation helps us to control our moods.Empathy helps us to recognize the humanity in others and ourselves.Studies suggest that training in emotional intelligence can powerfully impact how anger is managed. This was supported by a three-year study of476young adults who showed reduced tendency of becoming angry after training.Children and adults can learn skills to boost their emotional intelligence and,by doing so,develop adaptability for dealing with various negative affect,including anger.Many workbooks offer skills in emotional intelligence to promote empathy and self-awareness regarding emotions and how they impact our beliefs and behavior.Clearly,through training,Keith would experience greater emotional flexibility that could support amore peaceful commute to work.I firmly believe that learning skills in emotional intelligence should be the focus in helping individuals more constructively manage this highly challenging and complex emotion.32.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To tell a true story.B.To make a comparison.C.To introduce the main topic.D.To present an important finding.33.Which of the following is the main point of healthy anger?A.Tolerant A.Thinking over the annoying situation.B.Taking action to deal with the awful situation.C.Turning a blind eye to the unwelcome situation.D.Expressing feelings about the disturbing situation.34.What is the author’s attitude towards training in emotional intelligence?. B.Doubtful. C.Negative. D.Supportive.35.What is the suitable title of the text?A.Friends Should Enjoy Peaceful CommuteB.Drivers Need to Boost Their Emotional IntelligenceC.Emotional Intelligence Is a Buffer Against Destructive AngerD.Emotional Intelligence Has a Powerful Impact on People's Life第二节（共5小题；每小题 2.5分，满分12.5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。
2024届广东省四校高三上学期第一次联考英语试题(含解析)
2024届广东省四校高三上学期第一次联考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.4．What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2?A．Provided shelter for me.B．Became very clear to me.C．Took the pressure off me.D．Worked quite well on me.5．Why did the kid poke the storybook?A．He took it for a tablet computer.B．He disliked the colorful pictures.C．He was angry with his grandpa.D．He wanted to read it by himself. 6．What does the author think of himself?A．Socially ambitious.B．Physically attractive.C．Financially independent.D．Digitally competent.7．What can we learn about the author as a journalist?A．He lacks experience in his job.B．He seldom appears on television.C．He manages a video department.D．He often interviews internet stars.Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,0000 or more calories per hour.However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norbergsays. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.8．Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?A．They must run long distances.B．They have to follow special rules.C．They are qualified for the marathon.D．They are good at swinging their legs.9．What advantage dose race walking have over running?A．It’s less challenging physically.B．It’s more popular at the Olympics.C．It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.D．It’s more effective in body building.10．What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?A．Doing regular exercises.B．Having a medical checkup.C．Hiring an experienced coach.D．Getting experts’ opinions.11．Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking?A．Objective.B．Doubtful.C．Tolerant.D．Supportive.According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them.Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so theyhaven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.“Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫).Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms.Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick.12．What do solar developers often ignore?A．The decline in the demand for solar energy.B．The negative impact of installing solar panels.C．The rising labor cost of building solar farms.D．The most recent advances in solar technology.13．What does InSPIRE aim to do?A．Improve the productivity of local farms.B．Invent new methods for controlling weeds.C．Make solar projects environmentally friendly.D．Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.14．What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4?A．To conserve pollinators.B．To restrict solar development.C．To diversify the economy.D．To ensure the supply of energy. 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B．Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C．InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D．Solar Farms: A New Development二、七选五G．Have you ever chosen photos that lead others to the rosiest conclusions about your life?三、完形填空32．A．ready B．away C．up D．well 33．A．out of sight B．in the way C．behind the scene D．above the law 34．A．stress B．expect C．handle D．blame 35．A．ruins B．makes C．starts D．saves四、用单词的适当形式完成短文五、其他应用文46．假定你是李华，你的英国朋友Tim邀请你参加他们学校暑假组织的“科技夏令营”。

The day I was given the news was a cold Saturday. My mom sat me on the floor and opened her mouth to give me the most 1 words I'd ever heard: ―Grandma Billie has been diagnosed with cancer.‖ Tears filled my eyes immediately. Mom continued, ―Grandma is old and her body is too 2 . There’s nothing they can do to treat her.‖ I knew this wasn't my mom’s fault but I was so 3 . I was almost yelling at my mom, ―So, they’re just going to let her 4 ?‖We had to just wait for her to die. I couldn't even 5 the thought. We went to the hospital right away. The doctor said, ―Billie has a tumor in her 6 . She won't be able to 7 because it hurts her too much. One option is a feeding tube, but there are times when it will be uncomfortable.‖ At the end, the doctor sighed, ―With a feeding tube, she would probably have three 8 at most.‖My whole family on my mom’s side was really 9 and they were all looking to God to make this easy.

Which is NOT a must for PayQuick users?A. To register by 3rd March 2024.B. To download the PayQuick app.C. To bring their phones with them.D. To share the account with their family.23. What is the author's intention in writing this passage?A. To ensure the safety of PayQuick.B. To stress the importance of PayQuick.C. To popularize the use of PayQuick.D. To illustrate the application of PayQuick.BTonight, our family was going out to play under the full moon.My husband Todd and I first started going on full moon walks for ourselves, as we needed these little doses of moonlight to stay happy, though sometimes we had to hike through the forest to find a perfect spot. But after we became parents, we did this for our children. We wanted to show Sierra and Bryce that it was not necessary to travel far from home to have an adventure and learn something new, and that there was much magic in the natural world, available to all.Once we arrived at our location, Sierra and I stood holding hands, waiting to cheer the full moon in its rising—a thin sliver of the appealing moon emerged above the ridge of the mountain afar. Soon, more of the moon came out until it turned into a brilliant orange sphere. Todd explained to Sierra and Bryce that the moon generates no light, but simply acts like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight back to us. “Does the moon's face change?” Bryce asked. I told him that the moon rotates (旋转) around the earth, but does not spin by itself, so the same side of the moon is always facing the earth. Sierra remarked that the moon looked larger and closer when it was rising. I explained that it is a visual illusion (错觉) because it is so close to the horizon that the moon magically tricks our eyes into comparing itwith nearby objects, thus creating the impression of the increased size.Much of the knowledge that I shared with the kids was learned from my parents. During my childhood, they would take me on educational adventures out in the woods, and as I later found, so did their parents. So every time I go for a full moon walk with my beloved family, I thank those wise educators who came before me.To educate, sometimes all it takes is going outdoors and gazing up at the heavens.24. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Going on a hike through the forest.B. Taking a walk under the full moon.C. Watching magic shows every month.D. Traveling far from home for adventure.25. What can we learn from their family outing?A. The kids were reluctant to participate.B. Todd mentioned the mirror to explain sunlight.C. The kids exhibited a spirit of exploration about the moon.D. The author used a magic trick to explain the larger moon.26. Which of the following best describes the parents?A. Creative and faithful.B. Selfless and brave.C. Inspiring and generous.D. Insightful and patient.27. What does the story convey to the readers?A. Life is what you make it.B. Every cloud has a silver lining.C. Nature is the best teacher.D. God helps those who help themselves.CAs humanity has got richer, animal's roles have changed. People need their services less than before. Fewer wolves and thieves meant less demand for dogs for protection; the internal combustion engine (内燃机) made horses unneeded; modern sanitation (卫生设备) kept rats in check and made cats less useful. Domestic animals are no longer necessities, but commonly seen companions. Pet-keeping seems to become more and more popular, as a recent survey found that 69% of American households keep at least one pet.The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending more and more money on them. No longer are they food-waste-recyclers, fed with the remains that fall from their masters’ tables. Pet food shelves are full of cuisines tailored to satisfy a range of appetites, including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old, diabetic, or suffer from sensitive digestion.In the business, this is called “pet humanization” — the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of the family. This is obvious in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from Fido, Rex, and Spot to Bella, Lucy, and Max.People still hold the false assumption that pets must be working for humanity in some way, perhaps making people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. New research suggests that dogs have evolved those “cute eyes” to affect human emotions and control them, which works very well. Humans now work very hard to pay for the care of their pets. For example, Americans often refer to themselves not as cat owners but as the cat's “mommy” or “daddy”. South Koreans go one step further, describing themselves as cat “butlers (管家)”. Watch an unlucky man walking his dog, plastic bag in hand to pick up its mess, and we have to doubt: who's in charge now? Is this relationship what we really want?28. What can we learn about the animal-keeping trend?A. People's needs for animal services are increasing.B. The price for purchasing a domestic pet is on the rise.C. Pet foods are less various and customized than before.D. Both the pet number and the pet business are growing.29. Which of the following is the evidence of “pet humanization”?A. Pets’ ability to make their owners less anxious.B. Human's increasing investment in pet-keeping.C. Pet's roles as both working staff and companions.D. The owners' preference to give pets human names.30. What is the author's attitude towards the current human-pet relationship?A. Skeptical.B. Conservative.C. Unclear.D. Approving.31. Which might be the best title of the passage?A. The Changing Roles of PetsB. The Growing Trend of Pet BusinessD. The Pros and Cons of Keeping PetsC. The Craze for Pet-keepingDHibernation (冬眠) is a classic topic of science fiction. In movies such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, or Passengers, crew members are put into a state of sleep to take year-long journeys to space. Now a new study from Washington University has shown that human hibernation may soon become a reality.The research team carried out tests on rats — animals that do not naturally hibernate. They first identified a group of neurons (神经元) in a deep brain region, which were found to be involved in controlling bodytemperature during hibernation. They showed that, in mice, these neurons could be stimulated using ultrasound (超声波), which was delivered through a helmet without causing an injury.When receiving the ultrasound, the mice showed a drop in body temperature of about3°C, and their heart rates fell by about 47%. When the ultrasound system was switched off, they woke up again. The result was “surprising and fascinating”, said Hong Chen, a professor who led the work.Researchers are also trying to determine how to harness the power of hibernation to help humans. They believe that it could be key to addressing health conditions like heart disease, and Alzheimer’s. Furthermore, hibernation’s ability to slow aging, which was observed in bats, could benefit space exploration, enabling longer missions with less food requirements. Research in animals also suggests that bodies of hibernating astronauts might lose less bone and muscle, making them fit and ready to start challenging exploration soon after they wake up.By unlocking the secrets of this remarkable process, researchers may uncover ways to improve human health, as well as gain new insights into the natural world. Therefore, the exploration of hibernation is an exciting area that is sure to yield numerous benefits in the years to come.The scientists now plan to look at how lowered body temperature might affect the cognitive abilities of humans. “Our next experiments will test working memory in monkeys. This is important because while astronauts physically hibernate as they fly into deep space, their brain still needs to be working,” said Chen.32. How did researchers put rats into hibernation?A. By lowering their body temperature.B. By activating specific brain neurons.C. By putting a regular helmet on them.D. By using ultrasound through an operation.33. What does the underlined word “harness” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Employ.B. Challenge.C. Overlook.D. Discover.34. What advantage might hibernation bring to humans?A. It improves people's mental health.B. It predicts a variety of heart diseases.C. It helps astronauts keep physically fit.D. It enables astronauts to build up muscle.35. What's the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To point out the significance of the study.B. To bring out the focus of follow-up studies.C. To discuss other factors affecting hibernation.D. To explain practical applications of the finding.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
高三上学期七选五专练小卷(六)
中学七选五专练小卷（六）（湖北省华中师范大学第一附属中学2022-2023学年高二上学期期末英语试题）Why is Eating Colourful Food Good for You?Most of us are faced with the same choice numerous times a day: what to eat. Along with price, accessibility and preference, we’ll often use a food’s healthfulness to help us make a decision. 151It’s widely accepted by researchers that we need a varied diet. 152 The proof may be in the Mediterranean diet, which contains a lot of fruit, vegetables and healthy fats such as extra virgin olive oil, and is frequently rated the healthiest diet by scientists.Eating lots of colours may lower your risk of missing out on all vital nutrients. “If we’re missing a colour of the rainbow, we may be missing a function of that food, “ says Minich. This is because plant foods contain thousands of natural compounds, which have anti-infiammatory(抗炎的)benefits.153Blue and purple foods, including blueberries, have a high content of the plant anthocyanin(花青素), which has been linked to lowering the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.A research fellow at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health says eating a colourful diet can also help people avoid possible side effects of eating too much of one food. “ 154 For example, research has found that orange juice is associated with a lower risk of cognitive decline, but too much intake is associated with type 2 diabetes, ” she says.Eating a rainbow diet may also be complex. 155 We could tie ourselves in knots. We also need to eat from other food groups to get all the nutrients we need, such as protein.A．Food is very complex.B．A varied diet is packed with different vegetables.C．It could be really tricky to get every colour every day.D．But how do we know we’re getting enough nutrients?E．Different coloured foods come with different benefits.F．However, is colour the best guide to getting all the nutrients?G．And one way to do this is by eating all the colours of the rainbow.（广东省华附、省实、广雅、深中四校2022-2023学年高三上学期期末联考英语试题）People refer to never forgetting how to ride a bike or throw a baseball as examples of “muscle memory”, the result of a motor learning. 156 It is a phenomenon that previously trained muscles acquire strength after a period of disuse.Previous research has shown that the changes actually persist in the muscles themselves. In one study of mice, the results suggest that after nuclei in muscle cells multiply in response to an overload of training, those extra nuclei aren’t lost during subsequent periods of inactivity. Once you have got additional nuclei, you are banking the capacity. 157In fact, a recent study revealed that less than eight weeks of retraining were needed to reach the post-training level. But how quickly you regain your former fitness depends on how fit you were initially, how long the layoff was, how old you are and how long you’d been exercising.158 It means you still have a distinct advantage when it comes to regaining your former level of fitness. And the principle applies to both resistance training and endurance training. The best way to regain your muscle memory is to start at a level below what you were accustomed to doing, and then gradually increase in terms of duration, frequency, then intensity. 159Ultimately, muscle memory is a payoff for all the past work you put into learning a sport. 160 Youwill never know how much muscle memory you may have until you start training again.A．The best way to tap into it is to “get back on the horse”.B．Physiologists, on the other hand, define it in a different way.C．This convinces the researchers that muscle memory may not be long lasting.D．That is to say, we can do the sports automatically without conscious thought.E．It is generally safe to increase these elements by 5 percent every week or two.F．It is evident that the more you exercise, the more muscle memory savings you will have.G．All this news about muscle memory is encouraging for those who fell off the fitness scheme.（广东省博罗县2022年高考模拟命题大赛英语试题）Self-forgiveness has been defined as the process by which you become aware of any damage you’ve caused, seek to repair it, and eliminate or reduce your feelings of self-condemnation and guilt.Forgiving yourself entails experiencing feelings of self-condemnation. 161 However, you must be careful not to confuse self-forgiveness with self-indulgence, self-deception, and narcissism. Forgiving yourself, on the other hand, means reestablishing your self-concept, rejoining your recognized path, and amending your mistakes.Self-forgiveness involves changing the way you think about your past mistakes. It’s of vital importance to stop interpreting them as sources of shame and regret. 162 In reality, relating in a healthier way with your past is essential to recognize and value your changes and to help your personal growth.163 In order to forgive yourself, you must, first of all, recognize your mistakes in the situation that’s causing you to feel guilty. From there, you can clearly express your will to repair the damage and to empathize with those who’ve been affected by your actions.The ability to forgive yourself also implies your firm belief that change is possible. 164 As a matter of fact, it simply means you’re aware of it. In addition, you’re aware of the importance of identifying what you can change in yourself to avoid repeating the same mistake in the future.Finally, the last dimension of self-forgiveness is the awareness that you’re only human, hence, not perfect. Consequently, you’re capable of failing at any point in your life. Recognizing yourself as part of humanity can also help you to be more compassionate towards others. 165A．Self-forgiveness goes beyond feelings of self-pity.B．This doesn’t refer to ignoring the fault you committed.C．Self-forgiveness promotes your justice and reparation to others.D．These are later replaced by the feeling of need to repair your mistakes.E．You need to regard them as part of the process of becoming who you are.F．Realizing this may be the first step you need to better face your future mistakes.G．This means you’ll be more understanding and flexible in the face of others’ mistakes.（2023届广东省茂名高州市高三第一次模拟考试英语试题）Wherever you live you all want a home where you can just get in and forget the outside world. People don’t often turn it into what they want because they worry about the cost. 166 －you don’t need to spend a lot of money in order to make your home cozy (温暖舒适的). Here are some inexpensive ways to get you started.ClearThe first thing you need to do before buying or rearranging anything is clear. 167 . There is no way to turn a cluttered (杂乱的) space into an inviting one without organizing it. So, the first thing you do is clear. You don’t have to throw out everything—clearing can be an ongoing process that takes time, and that’s okay.Add Greenery168 . Aside from the eye-pleasing effect plants and flowers have, they also remove toxins (毒素) from the air, making your environment healthier. If that isn’t enough for you, they tend to help calm people down.Try Darker ColorsAnother thing you can do to make a room look warmer is to use some darker shades in the decoration. Lighter colors are great for making a room feel bigger, but darker colors create more of a cozy and inviting feeling. 169 .Adjust the LightingLast, but certainly not least, is lighting. The lighting in a room can make or break it, depending on how you go about it. 170 . Think of using the fireplace if you have one, lighting some candles and hanging up some string lights.

There are ways to help you make new friends, as well as to take better care of the friendships you already have.Accept the awkwardness (尴尬) and assume that other people need new friends, too. 171 When you reach out to somebody you don’t know well — whether that’s sending the first text message or making small talk in the elevator — you often feel uncertain. You have to accept that awkward silence and the uneasiness it may bring, because you can’t have friends without getting awkward.Remember that people will like you more than you thinkWhen you are moving through the world, don’t forget that human connection is yours for the taking. 172 Take up activities that you loveAsk anyone about how to make friends and they will most likely tell you to try a new hobby. 173 Do the things you’re interested in and you will naturally draw people to you, and you’ll naturally connect with other people because you’ll be in the right place.It’s OK to treat friendships seriouslyHaving friends is one of the most nourishing (滋养的) parts of being alive, so it’s not strange or bad or wrong to prioritize (优先考虑) it. Get comfortable putting yourself out there a little bit. 174 It’s what all the cool kids are doing.175But if you want to prioritize and nourish your friendships, you have to show up for them. Listen and notice things about your friends. Take notes! It will help you remember your conversations and allow you to mention them later. Remember the names of people in your friends’ lives. Ask to see a picture of the person they’re talking about so it sticks better in your head.A．Be present and attentive.B．It might sound strange, but it works.C．Make positive friends and get along well.D．It’s strange and uncomfortable to make new friends.E．Your friends will be proud of you and learn from you.F．Spare the time and space you need to find and nourish your friendships.G．When you talk to someone else, you’re actually going to brighten their day.（2023年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语领航卷（六））Online training is one of the fastest growing parts of the fitness industry. If you’re considering joining the online fitness community, consider these benefits and drawbacks.One of the most popular reasons for working out following an online video is that it offers ultimate convenience. No need to roll out of bed at 5 a. m. to attend that 6 a. m. boot camp class, which may end up being full when you arrive. 176 And what if you’re on the road? No problem. You can access your workout video through your phone.177 Most online fitness programs are much less expensive than similar offline programs—most range in cost from $ 10 to $ 20 per month. Some are even free. For example, the online Les Mills+program offers a free 30-day trial of its 1,500-plus workouts.Online training also has broad offerings. When you head online, you have instructors from around the globe, all ready and willing to help you master your favorite moves. 178 Just because there isn’t a Krav Maga class in your area doesn’t mean you can’t go online to find one led by qualified instructors.All these are undoubtedly positive-online training provides fitness resources to general consumers wherever they are, without requiring access to a gym or fitness studio. 179Very few online fitness programs enable the instructor to see you, check your form, and offer corrections based on your performance. 180 This is particularly concerning for beginners, as they’re more likely to do incorrectly. Besides, if you struggle with self-motivation and prefer a social workout environment, online fitness may not be for you.A．Another is the price.B．But it’s not without problems.C．The same goes for different types of exercise.D．However, online personal training isn’t for everyone.E．Instead, you can turn it on at home at your convenience.F．That being said, online workouts aren’t perfect when it comes to safety.G．This means you could perform exercises wrongly, or even unsafely, without knowing it.（北京市首都师范大学附属中学2022-2023学年高三12月初阶段性质量检测英语试卷）Public Speaking and Critical ThinkingWhat is critical thinking? To a certain degree, it’s a matter of logic – of being able to spot weaknesses in other people’s arguments and to avoid them in your own. It also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence.In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking — the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas. 181 The greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas. That, too, is critical thinking.182 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is notjust a matter of arranging the ideas you already have. 183What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 184 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 185 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class, you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as a critical thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece.A．Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.B．This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.C．It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.D．It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas.E．If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer is quite a lot.F．The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways.G．As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking, you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well.（山东省日照市2022-2023学年高二上学期期中校际联考英语试题）You might see loneliness as someone old sits alone, staring into the distance or out of a window. However, such images are misleading. 186 They are typically surrounded by other people, at school or at work.Loneliness is a negative feeling about a difference among the friends. 187 Although loneliness is often a difficult experience, it can help us to reconnect and to rethink our relationships so that we can seek out the ones that mean the most to us.188 In youth, our friendships are increasingly important in providing us with emotional support. Research indicates that young people have higher demands of their friendships than adults do; they show a preference for larger friend groups, more companionship and higher frequency of contact with friends.189 That often means changes to values or beliefs. It can be challenging when your friends are going through the same process, but might not follow the same path as you. Young people often report feeling lonely at school, while home is a comfortable space. But there are difficulties sometimes at home such as arguments or tension with family members and the departure of supportive family members. 190Even if you find yourself feeling lonely and it seems like nothing is helping, do not give up hope. Start with what you can do on your own and move on to ways to connect with others.A．These can make the feeling of loneliness worse.B．There are certain features of youth that tend to cause loneliness.C．Loneliness serves the function of keeping us safe in our social world.D．Another reason is our developing sense of self-discovering who we are.E．This means we might feel lonely in the company of others if we don’t fit in.F．It is most likely that you have not actually found the strategy that works for you.G．Researchers have found those experiencing loneliness are mostly young people.（山西省吕梁市孝义市2022-2023学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题）How do you feel about bees? Do you get annoyed when they fly around you and do you fear their mission is just to sting (叮) you? 191 Without them, we might starve (饿死).Bees deserve some respect. They give us honey, and they play their part either pollinating (授粉) the many vegetables and fruits we eat directly or pollinating the food for the animals that we then consume. 192 That’s not all — a study in the UK, found bees and other pollinating insects have a global economic value of around £120bn ($150bn) and contribute around £690m ($850m) to the UK economy every year. So, bees are worth protecting.193 But experts say we should be taking care of all our bees. Researchers say conservation efforts should be aimed at a wide number of species — even those that currently contribute little to crop pollination — in order to maintain biodiversity and ensure future food security. 194 It’s something we should be worried about because, as Gill Perkins, chief executive of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, said, “They provide a whole ecosystem service.” The recent lockdowns caused by the coronavirus pandemic (流行病) seem to have given bee populations a little boost because they faced less human disturbance, traffic and polluting fumes.Conservationists hope, going forward, people will appreciate bees more and encourage them to do well as they reconnect with nature. Gill Perkins says, “They are beginning to realise how their mental health and wellbeing is supported by nature — particularly by bumblebees (大黄蜂), which are so beautiful and buzzy.” 195 A．A small number of bee species are essential for crops such as apples and strawberries.B．The bees busied themselves at making honey.C．So, it really seems time to give bees a second chance.D．In fact, they are the world’s most important pollinators.E．The words remind people of this saying “honey is sweet but the bee stings”.F．Love them or dislike them, these little insects are extremely important creatures.G．Unfortunately, in recent times, bee populations have been declining due to pesticides, disease and habitat loss.（山东师范大学附属中学2022-2023学年高三10月学情诊断考试英语试题（含听力））Supporting Others We’re always being told that the secret to happiness lies in helping others. Indeed, it’s natural to want to support those we care about, especially if we are in a position to do so. 196When we offer support, it may not always be wanted. 197 In this case, offering support in the manner of “... if l were you, I would ...” can feel like a scolding rather than support. If our support feels conditional, it can feel burdensome.198 When someone is trying to manage illness or a house move, just saying “What would help you today?” can be amazingly supportive. Or, suggest what you can do for them: picking up some shopping, taking the dog for a walk. Even if it’s not needed, just knowing you’ ve been thought of can be supportive in itself.Try to be mindful of offering support that is disabling, rather than enabling. My son, when aged five, wanted to make a cup of tea. I could see how inspiring it was for him to be able to do this. So I filled the kettle and took him through the safety measures. It felt like a huge risk but it worked. His pleasure was immeasurable. The same principle applies when we offer support that increases someone else’s capacity. 199Sometimes the only support that’s needed is to listen without judgement. 200 This reassures them that someone cares enough to listen while they ground themselves. When times are tough, remember to keep things stable. Waiting until the storm has passed is all it takes.Support often works best when it’s a two-way process. It is good to know how to accept help from others as well as offer support to them.A．Here are the pros and cons of supporting others.B．Just be there, while someone lets out their feelings.C．Ask what support is needed and provide a practical one.D．This can often be a bigger gift than just doing it for them. E．But we can do more by thinking about the support we offer. F．Because being judgmental can only make someone annoyed. G．Sometimes people are trying to manage life in their own way.参考答案151．D 152．G 153．E 154．A 155．C【导语】本文是一篇说明文。
