A＂I see you’ve got a bit of water on your coat,’’ said the man at the petrol station. ‘‘Is it raining out there?’’ ‘‘No. it’s pretty nice,＂ I replied, checking my sleeve. ＂Oh, right. A pony(马驹) bit me earlier.＂As it happened, the bite was virtually painless: more the kind of small bite you might get from a naughty child. The pony responsible was queuing up for some ice cream in the car park near Haytor, and perhaps thought I’d jumped in ahead of him.The reason why the ponies here are naughty is that Haytor is a tourist — heavy area and tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods, despite signs asking them not to. By feeding the ponies, tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car, and make them harder to gather during the area’s an nual pony drift(迁移).The purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be checked, the baby ones can be stopped from feeding on their mothers’ milk, and those who’ve gone beyond their limited area can be returned to their correct area. Some of them are also later sold, in order to limit the number of ponies according to the rules set by Natural England.Three weeks ago, I witnessed a small near—disaster a few miles west of here. While walking, I noticed a pony roll over on his back. ＂Hello!＂ I said to him, assuming he was just rolling for fun, but he was very still and, as I got closer, I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily. I began to properly worry. about him. Fortunately, I managed to get in touch with a Dartm oor’s Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo. The officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony. The pony had actually been trapped between two rocks. The farmer freed him, and he began to run happily around again. Dartmoor has 1,000 or so ponies, who play a critical role in creating the diversity of species in this area. Many people are working hard to preserve these ponies, and trying to come up with plans to find a sustainable(可持续的) future for one of Dartmoor’s most financially—troubled elements.1.Why are tourists asked not to feed the ponies?A. To protect the tourists from being bitten.B. To keep the ponies off the petrol station.C. To avoid putting the ponies in danger.D. To prevent the ponies from fighting.2.One of the purposes of the annual pony drift is _________.A. to feed baby ponies on milkB. to control the number of poniesC. to expand the habitat for poniesD. to sell the ponies at a good price3.What was the author’s first reaction when he saw a pony roll on its back?A. He freed it from the trap.B. He called a protection officer.C. He worried about it very much.D. He thought of it as being naughty.4.What does the author imply about t he preservation of Dartmoor’s ponies?A. It lacks people’s involvement.B. It costs a large amount of money.C. It will affect tourism in Dartmoor.D. It has caused an imbalance of species.【文章大意】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。

“I didn't hear them call my name，” explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. “Are you ready？”is what she heard.Then she said，“I shook my head no，and then they said ‘yes’and it was announced again.”It was four days after that life changing moment for theseventeenyearold high school student from Destrehan, Louisianashe was still on_cloud_nine.“I was so shocked! I never believed that it coul d actually really happen. ”Present in the audience (观众) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher. Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there，AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete (比赛). “She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on becaus e of her.”One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, “I write a lot about my brother.I write a lot, a lot，a lot...” As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving，in addition to many other things to help the youth.When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, “Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way，it is easy to be yourself.”人生要经历许多苦难，但不管怎样都要勇敢面对，不能让任何人改变你自己。
高考英语一轮复习阅读理解专项试题及答案
XX年高考英语一轮复习阅读理解专项试题及答案It is obvious that doctors recognize obesity as ahealth problem. So why is it so hard for them to talk to their patients about it?The results of two surveys, one of primary care physicians and the other of patients, found that while most doctors want to help patients lose weight and think it is their responsibility to do so, they often don’t know whatto say.“So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the conversation often ends there,” said Christine C. Ferguson, director of the Stop Obesity Alliance. “Patients are not told about the possibility of diabetes (a kind of disease),” she said. “And doctors don’t feel they have good information to give. They felt that they didn’t have adequate tools to address this problem.The lack of dialogue hurts patients, too. The patient survey, of over 1,000 adults, found that most overweight patients don’t even know that they’re too heavy. Only 39 percent of overweight people surveyed had ever been told by a health care provider that they were overweight.Of those who were told they were obese, 90 percent were also told by their doctors to lose weight, the survey found. In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have beensuessful in the past—and many are still trying, the survey found. And many understand that losing even a small amount of weight can have a positive impact on their health and reduce their risk of obesityrelated diseases like hypertension and diabetes.Dr. William Bestermann Jr., medical director of Holston Medical Group, in Kingsport, Tenn. , which ranks the 10thin obesity among metropolitan areas in the United States, said the dialogue had to be an ongoing one and could not be dropped after just one mention of the problem. “If you’re to be suessful with helping your patients lose weight, you have to talk to them at actually every visit about their progress, and find something to encourage them and coach them,” he said.He acknowledged that many doctors tend to be not optimistic.“Part of thi s is that there's this mon belief, and doctors are burdened by it, too, that overweight people are weak-willed and just don’t have any willpower and are selfindulgent and all that business,” he said. “If you think that way, you’re not going to spend time h aving a productive conversation.”1. What is the Stop Obesity Alliance most probably in Paragraph 3?A. An organization of doctors specializing in obesity.B. An organization of patients suffering from obesity.C. A research group that conducts special surveys about overweight people.D. A research group dealing with doctor-patient relationship.2. How many of the patients surveyed have been advised by their doctors to lose weight?A. About 350.B. About 390.C. About 900.D. About1,000.3. What can be inferred about obesity patients in Paragraph 5?A. They are not as hopeless as doctors think they are.B. Most of them have tried hard to lose weight, but in vain.C. Without their doctors’ constant coaching, there is little chance of their sueeding in losing weight.D. Most of them have just given up their hope of being less heavy.4. Aording to the passage, which factor contributes to the lack of dialogue between doctors and patients?A. Most doctors just never think of warning their patients about their weight problem.B. Many doctors find it difficult to persuade overweight people to lose weight.C. Most patients are too weak-willed to do anything about their weight.D. Many patients tend not to trust their doctors about their weight problem.5. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Obesity in the U. S.B. Trouble of overweight Americans.C. Talk more, help better.D. Doctors or patients-who to bear more blame?The cultural and natural values of Kakadu National Park were recognized internationally when the Park was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This is an international register of properties that are recognized as having outstanding cultural or natural values of international significance. Kakadu is the largest national park in Australia and is the second largest national park in the world. Kakadu is a biological wonderland, which is almost 8,000 square miles. The wildlife in Kakadu National Park includes over 280 kinds of birds, 60 kinds of native mammals, 55 kinds of freshwater fish, thousands of insects, and many reptiles, the most famous of which is the salt-water crocodile. All life in the park depends on water.Kakadu is not only home to the wildlife but the area is also famous for the longest continuous human culture thatexists in the world. Aborigines have been living in this area for at least 40,000 years. The descendants(后裔) of these First Australians still live in Kakadu today. Kakadu contains one of the longest continuous records of rock artin the world, with around 5,000 paintings, with rock sites dating back 25,000 years. More than 1,000 sites have been recorded. Kakadu has been given double World Heritagestatus by the United Nations. It is one of only 17 of the 469 World heritage Areas listed for both natural andcultural values.It is Australia’s largest national park, but it isn’t just the size that surprises visitors—it is the sense of something very old and grand. Creation of the 500 km escarpment (悬崖) began 2,000 million years ago. Todaythose gorges are filled with rainforests, washed by waterfalls.Kakadu is one of the world’s special places. It ishard to pick the ideal time to visit Kakadu. In the wet season large areas of the park are closed to the public. It would not be possible to enter or exit from the parkthrough the Kakadu Highway. Most of the people there agree that the best time to visit is at the end of the dry season. Some areas of Kakadu have restricted visiting times, and some are not open to the general public. Over 230 000 tourists visit Kakadu National Park every year. As youenter Kakadu National Park, you will be required to buy a permit. Part of this money is paid to the Traditional Owners of the land and the rest is given to the repairs of the park.6. Why does the author mention so much wildlife in Paragraph 1?A. To represent the scene of the nature.B. To attract readers’ attention.C. To take the wildlife for example.D. To show the value of the park.7. Kakadu is given double World Heritage status by the United Nations because of .A. the descendants of these First Australians still in Kakadu todayB. the particular environment and the unusual rock artC. the longest continuous human culture that exists in the worldD. Aborigines living in this area for at least 40,000 years8. The followings are mentioned in the passage except .A. living things in KakaduB. the escarpment and the gorgesC. the history of the parkD. the weather of the area9. The underlined word gorges in Paragraph 3 means .A. narrow valleys between hills or mountainsB. buildings where cases are determinedC. large and open structures for sports eventsD. places where something is located10. What does the author advise visitors to do when they go to Kakadu?A. To get more information about the special place.B. To make a better choice between the wet and dry season.C. Not to enter the national park without permission.D. Not to go there through the Kakadu Highway.(London)—If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showi ng where people store fat.Aording to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.Aording to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s munication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.11. What is this piece of news mainly about?A. Thin people may be fat inside.B. Internal fat is of no importance.C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.D. Thin people also have troubles.12. Doctors have found .A. the exact dangers of internal fatB. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetesC. being slim is not dangerous at allD. being slim doesn’t mean you are not fat inside13. Aording to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A. Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.B. People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.C. Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.D. People with heart disease all have internal fat.14. From the last paragraph, we can find that .A. whether internal fat can lead to disease has been provedB. exercise plays in important role in people’s lifefor keeping healthyC. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimD. it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat15. The underlined part in the last paragraph means .A. a long roadB. an easy wayC. a clear differenceD.a short distanceFor years, there has been a bias(偏见)against science among clinical psychologists. In a two-year analysis to bepublished in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science, psychologists led by Timothy B. Baker of the University of Wisconsin charge that many clinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to their personal experiences than to science.” As a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by …science.” Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment. “The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science.”The “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective treatments. Thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with multiple trials showing that these treatments—the tools of psychology—bring more lasting benefits than drugs.You wouldn’t know this if you sought help from a typical clinical psychologist. Although many treatments areeffective, relatively few psychologists learn or practice them.Why in the world not? For one thing, says Baker,clinical psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “lack solid science training”. Also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment (if any) they have, “and psychologists reme mber these suesses, believing, wrongly, that they are the result of the treatment.”When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works. A xx study of 591 psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagues’ experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient. If they keep on this path as insurance panies demand evidence-based medicine, warns Mischel, psychology will “discredit itself.”16. Many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because .A. they are unfamiliar with their patientsB. they believe in science and evidenceC. they depend on their colleagues’ hel pD. they rely on their personal experiences17. The widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to .A. the cruel judgment by Walter MischelB. the fact that most patients get better after being treatedC. the great progress that has been made in psychological researchD. the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments18. How do clinical psychologists respond when charged that their treatments are not supported by science?A. They feel embarrassed.B. They try to defend themselves.C. They are disappointed.D. They doubt their treatments.19. In Mischel’s opinion, psychology will .A. destroy its own reputation if no improvement is madeB. develop faster with the support of insurance paniesC. work together with insurance panies to providebetter treatmentD. bee more reliable if insurance panies won’t demand evidence-based medicine20. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To show the writer’s disapproval of clinical psychologists.B. To inform the readers of the risks of psychological treatments.C. To explain the effectiveness of treatments by clinical psychologists.D. To introduce the latest progress of medical treatment in clinical psychology.1—5 BAABC 6—10 DBCAB11—15 ADDBB 16—20 DCBAA。

My three-year-old granddaughter, Tegan, went with her parents to a family gathering at the home of her other grandparents. Everyone was having a wonderful time visiting and catching up on all the latest family news.Like most children, Tegan was having a good time playing with all the toys that were different from her own and that were kept for children to play with at her grandparents’ house. In particular, Tegan had found a little tea set and had begun pretending that she was having a tea party. She set up all the place settings and arranged her table with the great care and elegance that only a three-year-old can create. Meanwhile, her Daddy was engrossed in conversation, and as he continued to chat with his family, Tegan would hand him a cup of "tea". Her Daddy, who always tries to participate in her games, would pause for a few seconds from his conversation, and say all the proper words and gestures for her tea party which would thrill Tegan. He would request two lumps of sugar. He would tell her how wonderful her tea tasted, and then he would continue his adult conversation with his family.After going through this routine several times, her Daddy suddenly awoke to reality as he had a flash of concern in his mind: "She is only three years old, where is s he getting this ‘tea’ that I've been dutifully drinking?" He quietly followed her, without her knowing, and his fears were growing stronger as he saw her turn and go through the bathroom door.

What was your favorite place there?How was the food there?Avold simple “yes” or “no” questionsIf you want to keep a conversation going, it’s a good idea to ask questions that cannot be answered with a simple “yes” or “no”. If the other person asks you a “yes” or “no” question, try to give a longer answer to help keep the conversation going.For example, a friend might ask, “Hey, have you seen the new Star Wars movie?” You could just answer, “No, I haven’t.” ___3___ You could answer: “No, but I plan to see it soon. How about you?”___4___Do not worry about your pronunciation. If your pronunciation is a little different, the other person will still understand your message if you try speaking slowly and clearly.

For example, kindness can lessen the conflict.3.___9___Peacekeepers tend to cooperate with people without bad emotions which usually lead to arguments and even conflicts. “The greatest victory is the battle not fought.” This saying is the life motto of a natural-born peacekeeper. Don’t worry if you are not a natural-born peacekeeper.

Sometimes there is little difference between a joke and life wisdom. ____26____.I started collecting jokes I received from different sources over a period of some 25 years. For the book I chose for an “Anglo-Saxon” collection. They are typica l for the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand.Where are they from? Who wrote them? ____27____, Most are everywhere, floating anonymously (匿名地)on the internet, and circulate among friends, e-mails, chat groups and mailing lists. Many come up over a beer.The language of humor is not universal and translating into another language mostly does not work. ____28____. Living in China for a long time, I gave up telling jokes as our Chinese friends find nothing funny in them and they can lead to misunderstandings. ____29____. Trying to translate Chinese jokes also would mostly fail to convey anything “funny” for us Westerners; I can say I cannot recall any Chinese joke.While at a first sight the book may not be interesting to Chinese readers, due to the cultural differences, ____30____, as well as to learn a different vocabulary. Also, for those who deal with Westerners, here in China or when abroad, they might surprise their foreign friends by serving them some jokes they can appreciate.A．Different cultures have a different understanding of what is “funny”B．Generally speaking, nobody knows the original sourceC．they wonder why there are so many about the WesternersD．Worse, they start asking a million questions of the why and what and howE．Maybe life is just a big jokeF．Most Chinese are totally unfamiliar with the Western world of jokes, they are puzzled or even shockedG．it is a nice tool for our friends to learn about typical Western humorMost of us haven’t been taught how to apologize (道歉). Sometimes our efforts tend to be hurtful and can make people feel even worse. When the apology is absent o r it’s a bad apology, it puts a crack in the very foundation of a relationship and can even end it. And that’s why it is important to get it right. A good and responsible apology can meet the moment and improve our relationships. ___31___Less is more.K eep your apology short and avoid the drama. If you’ve forgotten to return your friend’s bike, you don’t have to overdo it as if you’ve run over her kitten. Over-apologizing is not only annoying — it affects the flow of the conversation and shifts (转移) the focus away from the person who needs to be paid attention to. ___32___ .No ifs or buts.When you’re apologizing for something, it’s essential to show true sadness and regret.___33___ . “But” almost always means a criticism, or an excuse. It doesn’t matter whether what you say after the “but” is true. The “but” makes your apology false.___34___ .If you always listen for what you don’t agree wit h in order to defend yourself and correct the facts, it will do harm to both sides. Instead, you should keep an open mind and listen with an aim to understand the other person.___35___ . An apology isn’t the only chance you ever get to address the exist ing issue. The apology is also the chance to establish the ground for future communication. When done withattention and care, an apology can be a channel for greater understanding and deeper connection.A．Be realB．Drop your defensesC．Here are some tips to offer an apologyD．You’ve made the apology all about youE．A good apology is a beginning, not an endF．A sincere apology does not include ifs or butsG．It’s not “I’m sorry” that fixes the problem, but your deedsGetting along with people can be tough. ___36___Accept human nature.Humans make mistakes. People aren’t always nice. They also have all of the problems that you have in your life. ___37___ This is important to remember when you’ re trying to get along with people who are very difficult or seem to be ignoring you; everyone is just doing the best that they can.___38___People are all very different: that’s what makes life interesting. And just like people are all different, the world is also very complex. Every situation is different, always. Just because someone doesn’t make the choice that you would make or just because they take a less efficient or smart path to get where they’re going doesn’t make them wrong.Practice forgiveness.___39___ Sometimes you just have to stop and give people the benefit of the doubt (to believe someone even though you are not sure whether what the person is saying is true). They might really be sorry or they might really not know that what they did was bad. You have to forgive them so that you can move on to happier feelings.Do something together.___40___ You can work together on a project for school or work. You can also try a new activity together. These activities will give you more to talk about and lots of chances to interactand get to know each other.A．Think about what your words really say.B．Respect that there are lots of valid choices.C．The following are some suggestions that can help you in some way.D．Everyone is dealing with their own set of problems.E．Doing things together is a great way to bond with people and make friends.F．Forgive people when they do make mistakes.G．Even when someone’s making you mad, thank them for their effort to help or their suggestions.Happy people have habits you can introduce into your everyday life. Here are some of them. They surround themselves with other happy people.Joy can spread. Researchers of the Framingham Heart Study who studied the spread of happiness over 20 years found that those who are surrounded by happy people are more likely to become happy in the future. ____41____They try to be happy.Yes. It’s as simple as it sounds. ____42____ According to two studies recently published in The Journal of Positive Psychology, those who actively tried to feel happier in the studies reported the highest level of positive moods(心情), making a case for thinking yourself happy.They are mindful of the good.____43____However, happy people give attention to their smaller victories, too. “When we take time to notice the things that go right, it means we’re getting a lot of little rewards throughout the day,” says Susan Weinschenk, a Ph.D．in Psychology.They devote some of their time to giving.Even though there are only 24 hours in a day, positive people fill some of that time doing good for others, which, in return, does some good for the do-gooders themselves. A long-term research project called Americans’ Changing Lires found a series of benefits associated with altruism(利他主义).____44____People of all ages who volunteered were happier and experienced better physical health and less depression.____45____“When you listen, you open up your ability to take in more knowledge,” writes David Mezzapelle, author of Contagious Optimism. Good listening is a skill that strengthens relationships and leads to more satisfying experiences. A good listener may walk away from a conversation feeling as if their presence served a purpose, which is closely connected with increased happiness.A．They make a point to listen.B．They smile when they mean it.C．Just trying to be happy can lift your spirits.D．Volunteer work was good for both mental and physical health.E．This is reason enough to spend more time with cheerful people.F．It’s important to celebrate great hard earned accomplishments.G．Happy people take the time to appreciate these easy-to-come-by pleasures.How to Reduce Gift Wrap WasteWrapping paper may have “paper” in its name, but that doesn’t automatically mean it can be recycled. ___46___ Try these suggestions for cutting down the amount of wrapping paper you throw away.Reuse what you have. ____47____ It’s estimated that the U.S. produces 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper annually, and 2.3 million pounds of that stays in peop le’s homes, awaiting reuse.Use different materials. ___48___ Select basic brown thick paper that can be made up with a bow, ribbons, leaves, pinecones or markers. Repurpose newspapers, old posters and children’s school artworks as wrapping paper. There are plenty of other eco-friendly alternatives to wrapping paper that are just delightful and celebratory.___49___ Use baskets, fabric, gift boxes or bags, tea towels, and more to contain and display your presents. Learn the Japanese art of wrapping, using beautiful knots(绳结) to fasten colorful, reusable fabrics in attractive ways. This way, you’ll have no wrapping paper waste to deal with.Ask for better paper. Shops store what customers want, and recyclability should be a toppriority, so let that be known when you’re out shopping. As explained by Simon Ellin, CEO of the Recycling Association, a trade body that represents about 90 waste management companies and paper merchants in the United Kingdom, “It’s a campaign we’ve been on all year — do you really need to design a non-paper wrapping paper? Make paper with recycling in mind!” ___50___ A．Try zero waste.B．Shop with that in mind, too.C．You don’t have to choose shining paper to decorate a present.D．In fact, many types of wrapping paper cannot due to their materials.E．When wrapping paper is extremely thin, it has few good quality fibers for recycling. F．Wrapping paper can be used many times if care is taken to unwrap it without tearing. G．Having a mix of recyclable and non-recyclable papers is a real problem for companies. Social PhobiaIt’s natural to feel nervous, or shy in front of o thers at times. Most people manage to get through these moments when they need to. ____51____ It’s probably more than shyness. It may build up into a powerful fear. As a result, people feel uncomfortable participating in everyday social activities. This is called social phobia (also called social anxiety).____52____ It prevents them from chatting with friends in the lunchroom, joining anafter-school club, or going to a party. Sometimes, they even feel too nervous to ask a question in class or go to a teacher for help. Social phobia not only prevents people from trying new things. It also prevents them from making the normal, everyday mistakes that help people improve their skills still further.It is really sad, isn’t it? But the good news is that people with social phobia can learn to manage fear, develop confidence and communicating skills and stop avoiding things that make them nervous. Of course it’s not always easy. Dealing with social phobia takes patience, courage to face fears and the willingness to practice. ____53____Therapists (治疗师) can help people create a plan for facing social fears and build the skills and confidence to overcome it. And family or friends are especially important for them.____54____Friends and family can encourage them to pick a small goal to aim for, remind themto go for it, and be there when they might feel discouraged. Good friends and family are there to celebrate each small success along the way.Little by little, someone who decides to deal with extreme shyness can learn to be more comfortable. ____55____ As shyness and fears begin to melt, confidence and positive feelings build. Pretty soon, the person is thinking less about what might feel uncomfortable and more about what might be fun.A．Friends can overcome their fears.B．But for some, the anxiety can be extreme.C．They are not able to make eye contact with classmates.D．Social phobia makes people lonely or disappointed over missed opportunities.E．It also takes a commitment to go forward rather than back away when feeling shy.F．Each small step forward helps build enough confidence to take the next small step.G．The support from those key people helps them gather the courage to try something new.Open an app at your smart phone and scan the code bar on the garbage can. When you throw garbage into the garbage can, it will show the weight of the garbage and the points you can get from doing so. ___56___ It will become more popular in the future. Yes, we are talking about the smart garbage can.___57___ The environmental problems have become constant headaches in the development of those cities. Encouraging garbage classification has become an effective way.In some cities, a variety of multifunctional smart garbage cans are being put into use. In Beijing, for example, a smart garbage can is equipped with an LED screen, which not only shows national policies on garbage classification but also shows the correct steps for garbage sorting. It can also calculate the weight of the garbage and the accumulated points one can get. They can be traded for some articles of daily use. ___58___ Its body is actually a screen. It is equipped with some Internal sensors. When people throw garbage into it, the internal sensors can automatically tell the types of the garbage. Meanwhile, people can see how to deal with them. ___59___ Garbage disposal is a small issue that involves everybody each day. However, it is also a big issue.___60___ With smart garbage cans in our daily life, the idea of garbage sorting will becomemore established. Our dream of building a greener and more beautiful China will come true so long as we start to make small changes right now.A．Garbage sorting has been a new fashion.B．Another kind of garbage can is even smarter.C．It is no wonder that residents cheered for their presence.D．Such a way of handling garbage has appeared in some cities.E．It will affect China’s transformation towards green development.F．Over 200 million tons of garbage is produced each year in some cities.G．The good habit of garbage classification can improve the living environment.There is no escaping our evolution into a cashless society. The idea that all transactions (交易) can be completed digitally is becoming more realistic day by day. ____61____As it is, people increasingly demand low-touch or contactless payments with growing concerns over the spread of viruses and diseases. A cashless society would give rise to a new era for financial deals. The key benefits would include lower crime rates, easier foreign transactions, and reduced risks and costs. The idea of a cashless society appears very common in our society.____62____ Economic inequality and inclusivity (包容性) are fundamental issues still present worldwide.____63____ The unbanked and poor could face significant challenges with digital modes of payment. In fact, most of the unbanked view the cashless movement as an unfair act against those without bank accounts.For a cashless society, there needs to be an understanding and acceptance by governments and payment providers of the financial inclusion issues currently in existence.____64____ There are also the elderly and the disabled who face their own challenges with rapid digitalization and technological advancement. There are still parts of society that lack trust in digital payments or have barriers to accessing mobile phones and the Internet.____65____ It is also about to launch a national digital currency (货币), the world’s first. Nearly everything can be transacted by digital means here. As we prepare for the consequence of COVID-19, and use the model set by China, other countries need to take it upon themselves to provide a harmonious, effective, and cashless society — one that does not leave anyone behind.A．However, this is far from reality.B．Several countries have entered cashless society.C．A cashless society might actually worsen these problems.D．COVID-19 has sped up the move away from physical cash.E．In China, four out of every five payments are now cashless.F．It isn’t just the unbanked who are at risk of being left behind.G．So financial inclusion needs to be the core value in a cashless society.An old friend of mine was in town and organized a get-together. A mutual friend asked me if I was going. I answered no because I wasn’t interested in it.__66__ However, I just refused. Do you feel that you sometimes have to lie to spar e people’s feelings? I sure do. But I’m trying to do it less. Here’s why:● ___67___Do you feel it like a mini lack of good faith every time you say a white lie? It doesn’t feel good because, at heart, you want to be honest.● You have to remember lies.Have you ever been caught in a lie? I have. It feels untrustworthy. I don’t know about you, but my memory is not good enough to even remember all the true things I say. ___68___● People respect the truth.I had meant to go to a friend’s house for dinner once, but she called in the morning of the day to cancel. She said, “I’m sorry Susie but... I’m just so tired and I need today to rest.” I didn’t get angry at that moment. ___69___ And we had a nice phone call, instead.● “No” is enough.It’s so easy to give a quick “yes” and have regrets later, or makeup a lie to get out of something. But you don’t have to! You can say “no” at the start.A calendar does not exist to be filled up_70_And there’s no shame in doing what you need, especially when you’re hon est about it.A．On the contrary, her frankness made me feel closer to her.B．Therefore, you’d better remember lies in case you’re trapped.C．Lying makes you feel bad.D．The space in our lives can be the best part.E．Lying is costly and you’re too busy for that.F．I could have made some acceptable excuse.G．However, I forgave her though she had betrayed me.Do you want to be at the top of your class? Add these tips to your life and you should be on your way to being a top student!___71___ I cannot stress enough how important it is to pay attention to what your teacher is teaching you. Take part in class discussions if you have something worthwhile to add. Pay attention during class, especially during lectures.Taking notes is important. You don’t need to w rite down every single word your teacher says but write down what he/she writes on the board, or any special fact you think you might need for a test. ___72___ This way it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about what you are writing.Don’t skip school. You will be missing out on stuff. ___73___ However, you will have more work and you have missed lectures and in-class movies. Also, try not to be late for class. It’s most likely that your teacher won’t appreciate it and you will get y ourself behind.Keep a good attitude towards things. If you have an “I don’t care about school or this class” attitude, then teachers will be less willing to help you with problems or offer you extra credit. The same goes for a lazy attitude. Have a respectful attitude to teachers and other students.___74___Always ask questions. ___75___ If you don’t understand, ask someone. Read your textbook and notes, and then if that fails, seek help. Ask a teacher, friend, classmate, parent, etc. Get a tutor if you need one.A．Be prepared.B．Write in your own words.C．Staying organised will be helpful.D．There is no shame in needing some help.E．Pay attention to everything the teacher says.F．It is true that you could make up the work.G．Try not to laugh when other students make a mistake.参考答案1．C2．G3．A4．B5．E 6．G7．E8．F9．A10．D 11．D12．G13．E14．B15．A 16．F17．A18．E19．G20．D 21．C22．G23．E24．D25．A 26．E27．B28．A29．D30．G 31．C32．D33．F34．B35．E 36．C37．D38．B39．F40．E 41．E42．C43．F44．D45．A 46．D47．F48．C49．A50．B 51．B52．D53．E54．G55．F 56．D57．F58．B59．C60．E 61．D62．A63．C64．F65．E 66．F67．C68．E69．A70．D 71．E72．B73．F74．G75．D。

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校江西2017高考英语暑假阅读理解一轮编选阅读理解。
Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes，fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper，when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man，when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?Television has not killed reading, however. Today，newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment．Although some books with hard covers are expensive，many books are printed today as paperbacks(平装本)，which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories，for example，is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater，and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home．Every home should have a good dictionary．A good encyclopedia(百科全书)，though expensive，is useful，too，because you can find information on any subject．Besides，you can have such books as history books，science textbooks，cookbooks，and collections of stories and poems．Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.1. It can be inferred from the passage that＿＿＿.A．TV programs are a chief provider of knowledgeB．cinemas are the best choice in getting informationC．reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun D．newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself2．What does the sentence“Television has not killed reading，however.”underlinedin the second paragraph suggest?A．People only need reading，though.

What would it be like to take a walk on the surface of Mars? If you could design the tallest building in the world, what would it look like? Do you dream of being the next J.K.Rowling? This summer, you can experience all of these things, and more. All you need is an Internet connection and your imagination.A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and29 minutes online each day. Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play games or check e-mails. But next time you get on the Web, try exploring the world instead. “With the Internet, you can go back 11,000 years in time, or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet,” sai d Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history and the world is open to you.”There is a wealth of information to be found online. For example, if your family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car. “What’s the background of the place; what’s the history?” says Russell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out.’”Ready to launch a virtual journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get you thinking and to help you on your way. You can invite your parents along for the ride, too. Always ask for permission before downloading programs and software into your computer. And, check with a parent or adult before visiting any new website.Navigate the world in 3-D with Google Earth. Begin in outer space and zoom into the streets of any city, from Hong Kong to San Francisco. Or, visit ancient monuments and watch the changing rainforests over time. With the moon in Google E arth tool, you can walk in Neil Armstrong’s famous footsteps. Take a guided tour of the moon’s surface with Armstrong’s fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Aldrin.1. According to Russell, the kids _________.A. spend too much time on the InternetB. should never chat and play games onlineC. can solve their problems through the InternetD. should study hard instead of chatting online2. From the passage we know that _________.A. we can find much information we need onlineB.

2020高考英语阅读理解一轮自选训练及参考答案
2020高考英语阅读理解一轮自选训练及参考答案【2020高考训练题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
I knew a man, a very tall, gentle man, for several years before I found out that he visited prisoners in our local prison, week in and week out for decades. He would write letters for them, carry messages, fetch clothing or books. But mainly he just offered himself. He did not lecture to them, didn’t pick and choose between those he liked and disliked and didn’t look for any return on his kindness. All that mattered was that they were in trouble.Why did he spend time with prisoners when he could have been playing golf or watching TV? “I go in case everyone else has given up on them,” he told me once. “I’ll never give up.”Never giving up is a quality we honor in athletes, in soldiers, in survivors of disasters, in patients recovering from severe injuries. If you struggle bravely against strong opponents（对手）, you are likely to end up on the evening news. But in less flashy, less newsworthy forms, devotion to a task, or a person, or an occupation shows up in countless lives all around us.It shows up in parents who will not quit loving their daughter even after she dyes her hair purple, tattoos （纹身）her belly and runs off with a rock band. It shows ill couples who choose to mend their marriages instead of ending it. It shows up in volunteers at the hospital or library, it shows up in unsung people everywhere who do their job well, not because the boss is watching or because they are paid large amounts of money but because they know their work matters.1. Why did the man visit the prisoners every week _______.A. That’s his jobs.B. He wanted to teach them a lesson.C. He was a postman.D. He wanted to show care and offer help.2. From the third paragraph, we can infer that when never giving up is mentioned, people are likelyto relate it to ________.A. unknown peopleB. people facing challengesC. the divorced couplesD. the hospital volunteers3. What quality does the author value most according to the text?A. The courage to fight against strong opponents.B. The kindness of your friends and family members.C. The faithfulness of unsung people around us.D. The strong will of the survivors of disasters.4. The author mentions the story of the gentleman in order to ________.A. introduce the themeB. state a factC. criticize the prisonersD. cover a story本文通过讲述一位绅士每周去探望囚犯的故事引入话题谈及永不言弃的精神时，人们更可能联想到面对挑战的人们，比如文中所列举的运动员、士兵、灾难中的幸存者等等。

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校Module 4Ⅰ.阅读理解 02280694(2015·江西高三一模)Chinese consumers' crazy appetite for luxury goods and services appears unstoppable, with just 2 percent of the Chinese population responsible for one－third of the world's luxury items.As China's economic miracle develops, the market opportunities for all sorts of luxury goods and services are increasing. Luxury consumption in China now extends ways beyond well－known car, clothing and jewelry brands. For example, the luxury jet market in China is the fastest－growing in the world, even outstripping that of the United States, with a market share of 25 percent. This trend appears to continue, with 20 to 30 percent growth expected in China, compared with only 2 to 3 percent in the US. But more importantly, China's luxury jet market growth represents a major development in the private consumption of luxury items.China's high－quality red wine market also provides evidence of the growth in private consumption of luxury goods. In 2013, China became the largest market for red wine in the world, even overtaking France, with 1.86 billion bottles consumed in China last year. Over the past five years, China's red wine consumption has grown 136 percent.According to my ongoing consumer research in this area while working at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, public consumption of such expensive global luxury brands such as Prada and Armani is easily explained by the desire to “gain face” and publicly display social climbing through material possessions. On the other hand, it is “self－reward” that lies behind consumer motivation in this area. Chinese consumers who have experienced rapid financial and economic gains appear particularly prone to the need to reward themselves for their success. But this has little to do with “gaining face” and impressing others and much more to do with the need for personal contentment.Finally, the growth in private luxury consumption in China is set to continue in part due to the maturity of the Chinese consumer and advancement of Chinese consumer culture generally.语篇解读：本文主要讨论了中国奢侈消费不断增长的问题。

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校Unit 14 Careers Ⅰ.阅读理解(建议用时15′)A[2015·哈期中考试]Life is so much simpler these days. Everything revolves W1 around a single button! With the introduction of washing machines, washing clothes became easier. The machines would dry clothes at least 70 to 80 percent and already halfdried clothes would be done in no time. Do you want to know how washing machines evolved?The first washing machine was called the scrub (擦洗) board and was invented in the year 1797. In 1851, American man, James King, discovered and patented the first washing machine to use a drum.However, it was still handpowered and did not work by itself.Then, in 1858, William Blackstone of Indiana built a washing machine for his wife.This washing machine removed and washed away P1dirt W2 from the clothes. This was the first official washing machine that could be used at home.SIn 1908, the Hurley Machine Company of Chicago invented the Thor machine. This was the first washing machine that was electrically powered, and it had a galvanized (电镀的) metal tub and an electric motor. The earlier washing ma chine had a heavy, castiron mechanism mounted on the tub lid, making the machine heavy and difficult to move.The introduction of a metal tub and reduction gears (减速齿轮) in later years replaced W3 this heavy equipment and by 1920 the production of wooden tub washing machines completely stopped. But the new machines made a lot of noise because of their bulky metal tubs. A modification that was made was covering the tubs with white enameled (磁漆的) sheet metal to make the cleaning process easier.By the early 1950s, American companies started producing washing machines with a spin dry feature W4， and this replaced the old wringer, which, while drying the clothes, would remove the buttons or cause accidents involving the hair and hands.In 1957, the first washing machine with five plus buttons was introduced. These controlled the wash temperature, rinse temperature and spin speed.Slowly, more features were added, and today we have a variety of P2 washing machines with different features and styles to help us out P3 and make life simpler and easier.本文介绍了洗衣机的发展变化过程。

高考英语一轮复习 阅读理解分类练习5 阅读理解之七选与练高三全册英语试题
入舵市安恙阳光实验学校专题05阅读理解之七选五学与练Part 1 整体感知分析解读1.七选五主要考查考生对文章整体内容、结构以及上下文逻辑的理解和掌握。
2.体裁以说明文为主（2014、2015、2016、2019及全国卷I都以说明文体裁出现），且结构清晰，过程完整，适合考查标题概括、主题句和过渡句等，以考查学生的综合阅读能力。
3.设空类型一般有标题类、段落主题句类、过度类、细节类；选项大多为完整的句子。
4.七选五以考查细节局为主。
Part 2 方法技巧1.浏览整篇文章，把握整体设空的位置。
在做七选五时，首先弄清全篇文章结构，理出文章的中心。
语篇通常由段落构成，所以分析篇章结构包括两个层次：一是分析段落之间的层次；二是分析每个段落内部的层次。
选项与前后句之间的逻辑关系，是确定答案的主要依据。
注意文章的首段和末段，因为英文写作常见方法为“开门见山式”和“结尾总结式”。
首段对于快速掌握文章的主题具有重要意义。
如果它是文章的主题句，就可以是读者迅速明确文章情节将如何展开，并对文章的写作主题有个整体的了解。
如果首段没有主题句，则需要继续寻找。
这时，可以考虑文章的写作方式是否为“结尾总结”式，如果两者均可排除，则需要在文章中其他段落寻找其他主题句，但要注意段首与末段的提示作用。
2.辨别语境线索边读边做题，重点阅读各个问题附近的句子，圈定线索词，然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词，以确定答案。
做题时可以采用带入排除法。
如果一题做不出或不确定，可以先跳过，继续往下读，做容易的、能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。
至此，文章的要点和主旨、各个段落的逻辑关系应基本清楚了。
再将剩余选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该语境，能否承接前后的写作线索。
3.确定答案，再次核对检查在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯、合理，各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用于是否恰当，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。

Historians usually just study great things that happened in the past time, but Drew Faust has made history! On February 11, 2007, Faust was named president of Harvard University. She is the first woman to hold the position in the school’s 371-year history.“I am a h istorian,” she said. “I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the past, and about how it shapes the future. No university in the country, perhaps the world, has as remarkable a past as Harvard’s.”“And our commo n ente rprise is to make Harvard’s future even more remarkable than its past.That will mean recognizing and building on what we already do well. It will also mean recognizing what we don’t do as well as we shoul d, and not being satisfied until we find ways to do better.”It is her great desire for improvement and willingness to try out new ideas that have given Drew success in a world controlled by men. “This is a man’s world, my girl, and the sooner you learn that, the better off you’ll be.” Drew Faust recalls her mother telling her this when she was young, but she didn’t buy it.Faust grew up in a well-off family in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley in the 1950s. Even then, she was a trailblazer(先驱). A conversation with her family’s black handyman (零工) and driver inspired her to write a letter, on school notebook paper, to President Dwight Eisenhower. She asked that he help bring US citizens together in the south, a much divided part of the country at the time.“Drew Faust is a hi storian with her eyes on the future,” said Susan Graham, a professor of Harvard. Many of the university’s schools said that they believe Harvard will have a brighter future under the leadership of Drew Faust.1. Why does the writer say Drew Faust has made history?A. Because she is a historian.B. Because she was president of Harvard University.C. Because she was the first woman to be president of Harvard University.D. Because Harvard has a remarkable past2. What do we know about historians?A. They usually study great things that happened in the past.B. They are usually presidents of universities.C. They are usually born in well-off families.D. They are usually women.3. What does the underlined word “buy” in the fourth paragraph mean?A. acceptB. expectC. purchaseD. afford4.

One possibility is the variable behavior of the sun．Astronomers at one research station have studied th e hot spots and ‘cold’ spots (that is, the relatively less hot spots)on the sun．As the sun rotates(使旋转)，every 27．5 days，it presents hotter or colder faces to the earth，and different aspects to different parts of the earth．This seems to have a considerable effect on the distribution of the earth atmospheric pressure，and consequently on wind circulation．The sun is also changeable over a long term：its heat output goes up and down in cycles，the latest trend being downward．‘Scientists are now finding shared relations between models of solar weather interactions and the actual climate over many thousands of years，including the last ice Age．The problem is that the models are predicting that the world should be entering a new Ice Age and it is not．One way of solving this theoretical difficulty is to assume a delay of thousands of years while the solar effects overcome the inertia(惯性)of the earth‘s climate．If this is right, the warming effect of carbon dioxide might thus be serving as a useful opposed balance to the sun’s fading heat．46．It can be concluded that a concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would ． A．mean a warming-up in the ArcticB．raise the temperature of the earth’s surfaceC．prevent the sun’s rays from reaching the earth’s surfaceD．explain the cause of great changes in the climate in the northern hemisphere47．The article was written to explain ．A．the green house effectB．the solar effects on the earthC．the causes affecting weatherD．the models of solar weather interactions48．Although the fuel consumption is greater in the northern hemisphere, temperatures there seem to be falling．This is ．A．mainly because the levels of carbon dioxide arc risingB．partly due to changes in the output of solar energyC．possibly because the ice caps in the poles are meltingD．only due to the effect of the inertia of the earth’s climate49.On the basis of their models, scientists are of the opinion thatA the climate of the world should be becoming coolerB the new Ice Age will be delayed by the greenhouse effectC the man-made warning effect helps to increase the solar effectsD it will take t housands of years for the inertia of the earth’s climate to take effect50.If the assumption about the delay of a new Ice Age is correctA ice would soon cover the northern hemisphereB the greenhouse effect could work in favor of the earthC the best way to overcome the cooling effect would be to burn more fuelsD the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could warm up the earth even more quickly【参考答案】46-50BCBAB阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner—largely through encouraging recycling—its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.The European Union(EU) has issued a new policy，regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of.The five councils (Edinburgh，East Lothian, West Lothian，Midlothian and Borders) face fines around ￡18 million a year from 2013 if they don't increase recycling levels and rely less on landfill.With this in mind，the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant (垃圾焚烧厂)to burn half of the waste produced in their districts.But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city's waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.After the plan was abandoned，a private company which already transported millions of tons of the city's waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar，offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015，it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion.But soon they turned it down—after 700 local objections reached them—because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.That still leaves the council with a problem.By 2013，only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfill.Even if recycling targets are met，there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up.Due to this，Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out. 回收利用曾是最绿色的垃圾处理方式。
但是，这种处理方法却不能短时间内满足欧盟对于及时解决废物的政策需求，因此，在回收利用的同时，他们还是得重建一所大型的垃圾焚烧厂。
1．The main way of handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh is ________.A．recycling B．restoringC．burying D．burning答案：A。
细节判断题。
第二段中的信息词“largely through encouraging recycling”可以断定选项A 的说法是与原文保持一致的。
2．The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to ________.A．reduce the cost of burying waste B．meet the EU requirementsC．speed up waste recycling D．replace landfill sites答案：B。
细节判断题。
在第三个段落的开头提到了“The EU has issued a new policy...”便可以断定他们制定这个处理垃圾的计划也正是这个政策的出台，所以与选项B的说法是相符合的。
3．The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to open a huge landfill site near Portobello because ________.A．it came from a private company B．the council was not interested in itC．it was not supported by EU D．the local people were against it答案：D。
细节判断题。
根据倒数第二段最后一句“...700 local objections reached them...”，可以断定市民是反对的。
4．What is the final decision of Edinburgh and Midlothian councils?A．To open a new landfill nearby.B．To close the Powderhall landfill in 2015.C．To set up a plant for burning waste.D．To persuade people to reduce their waste.答案：C。
细节判断题。
根据文章最后一句话中的“set up an incenerator plant”，即：建一个垃圾焚烧厂，就可以断定，选项C与本信息句是相吻合的。

This is like when heat is trapped in a car. On ahot day, the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car, by going through the windows，but it can’t get back out. This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth .The heat and light can get through the atmosphere, but it can’t get out As a result，the temperature rises.Sometimes the temperature can change in a way that helps us. The greenhouse effect makes the earth appropriate for people to live on Without it，the earth would be freezing，or it would be burning hot. It would be freezing at night because we would not get the sun’s heat and light .During the day, especially during the summer,it would be burning because the sun would be up with no atmosphere to filter(过滤)it，so people，plants，and animals would be exposed to all the light and heat.Although the greenhouse effect makes the earth able to have people living on it，if there gets to be too many gases，the each can get unusually warmer, and many plants，animals．and people will die. Plants would die because they would not be able to take the heat .This would cause us to have less food to eat,and it would also limit the food that animals have. With less food for the animals that we need to survive we would even have less food. Gradually,people，plants，and animals would all die of hunger．People are doing many things to try to stop global warming .One thing is carpooling—driving with someone to a place that you are both going to. Another thing is being more careful about leaving electrical devices turned on.
