Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags ( 落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” s pell out the hidden message “Meet me.”38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example.

Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers (肥料). 38. However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.●R ecall(回忆) your childhood memoriesOur model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood.

But good news is that there’re really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones.38 . They’re the little spots of co lor like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable.Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves39. They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors.

Dance expresses love and hate, joy and sorrow, life and death, and everything else in between.36 We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea. We dance at weddings, birthdays, office parties and just to fill the time.“I adore dancing,” says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. “I can’t imagine doing anything el se with my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages. “Teaching dance is wonderful. 37 It’s great to watch them. For many of them, it’s a way of meeting people and having a social life.”38 “I can tell you about one young couple,” says Bridges. “They’re learning to do traditional dances. They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile. 39 ”So, do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better, calmer, healthier?

If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles（肌肉）and your brain.Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing（治愈）.38 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood（情绪）. Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 39 It gives usa great feeling of peace.40 While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D — but still protect your skin — put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D.A.Fresh air cleans our lungs.B.So what are you waiting for?C.Being in nature refreshes us.D.Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.E.But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?F.Just as importantly, we tend to associate fresh air with health care.G.All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.(2019 年全国2）Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: "Should I jump? " This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin. 36 Like the child on the diving board, you will stayundecided.37 More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. 38 So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity（清晰）of thoughts can help you move forward.Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. 39 They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a Pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. 40 You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation.

Students should be able to extend the logic（逻辑）of each to their particular circumstance.Do's•37 Questions about subject content are generally welcomed.

If you are in need of a deadline extension, simply explain the situation to the professor. 39•Don't openly express annoyance at a professor or class. 40 When a student attacks a professor on the social media, the language used actually says more about the student.

and I just spent a week in Paris.36So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard.It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.The place wasn’t entirely authentic,though.Unlike a normal Parisian apartment,the plumbing (水管)worked.37Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said,“Ouverture des portes,”in perfect French.That is the only French phrase I mastered,and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.Parisians are different from you and me.They never look lazy or untidy.As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago,they eat great food and never gain weight.38French strawberries do not taste like cardboard.Instead,they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.39On our first morning in Paris,I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries.I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon.My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten.But they cost$18!In France,quality of life is much more important than efficiency(效率).You can tell this by cafés life.French cafés are always

that independent contractors can be on call.A.Not all the customers are tourists.B.The quality of life in France is equally excellent.C.There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.D.The amazing

out of your comfort zone or if you’re wandering into somebody’s house for the first time.So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous,trying different foods and talking to strangers.People love to talk about themselves.If you can start the conversation with a question other than“What do you do for a living?”,you’ll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you’re talking to.(57),it can bring in“I have this old,broken-down vehicle”or“I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.”It just opens up conversation.(58)If you can’t take their wine away,you should certainly try to take away their soapbox（讲台）.If you’re the host,you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation(59).And what about that other dinner-party killer:awkward silence?If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party,the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give

comfortable.Too often, when you stand up to give a speech,you focus on the“public”at the expense of the“speaking.”17Focus on the speaking.Talk directly to your audience,be yourself and make a connection.Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes.Yet,the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking.People’s attention wanders constantly.In fact,most people only absorb about20percent of a speaker’s message.So,don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one.18Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.19And like everything else in life,that takes practice.Remember,even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.20It’s rare to hear someone say,“I wish that speaker had spoken longer.”On the other hand,you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought,“I’m glad that talk is over.It seemed to go on forever!”So surprise your audience.Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.A.Do the opposite.B.You want to be an effective public speaker.C.You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip.D.When it comes to public speaking,less is usually more.E.The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.F.Take the fear out of public

traditional tools like email,it may feel like a learning curve(曲线).The good news is that it’s simple to learn and can be worth the effort.There is also the matter of tone(语气).Who hasn’t received an email so annoying that it ruined an entire day?___39___.Emoji can help communication feel friendlier,and even a serious note can be softened with an encouraging smile.___40___,and emoji can contribute

2023全国高考真题英语汇编：七选五
2023全国高考真题英语汇编七选五一、七选五（2023·北京·统考高考真题）It’s a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions about where to attend college. Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision. 1When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they’re often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings. 2Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities. 3 The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes.Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators often don’t view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment (注册) or funding. 4 Research shows that the more time instructors spend on teaching, the lower their salary. What is the result？Many instructors continue to teach using traditional lectures, which lead to lower success rates.5 Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments. In the long term, universities, organisations that rank schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission.What should students and their families do? They should give strong consideration to universities where high-quality teaching is valued, even though the schools may be ranked lower.A．Higher education has achieved its true potential.B．Therefore, it’s not highly valued in hiring or promotion.C．Quality teaching has been an important reputation-building factor.D．However, the rankings ignore a critical factor: the quality of teaching.E．Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged.F．They’re even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities.G．In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors.（2023·全国·高考真题）Tricks To Becoming A Patient PersonHere’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common?

However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.●Practice gratitude (感激)Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic.7 . “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.● Make yourself waitInstant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology researchsuggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. 8 . Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You’ll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations.● 9 .So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances.

However, it seems to be exceptionally difficult to get the hang of a foreign tongue as we age. 11 Yet, you can still master a foreign tongue as an adult with these tips:It’s about connection.It’s important to remember that learning a language is not really about learning a language. 12 Try to connect with people you may know by sharing your experience, or listen to podcasts and music in your target language, or read about the country’s history.13Watching TV shows in another language is an excellent way to get used to hearing a foreign tongue spoken in real-time. 14 TV shows, films, podcasts and even video games are all great forms of entertainment for learning a new language. Not only will these forms of entertainment lend added cultural and regional insights, but they’ll help you have fun while doing it.Patience is key.While you are learning, be patient with yourself.

To err (犯错) is human. 16 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” 17 Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of.At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 18You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 19 That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this — it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes.

Unfortunately, there is no magic list I can offer. I do remember, though, what it was like to be a complete beginner. So I’ve put together some good tips for starting an art journey.·Start small.

In spite of trying all kinds of free and paid to-do apps, nothing helped.That didn’t change until I discovered the time management technique called Time Blocking.

Below we take a closer look the possible dangers of artificial intelligence.Job losses due to AI automationAI-powered job automation is a pressing concern as the technology is adopted in industries like marketing, manufacturing and healthcare. Eighty-five million jobs are expected to be lost to automation between 2020 and 2025.47 And while it’s true that AI will create new jobs, many employees who won’t have the skills could get left behind.Social control through AI algorithms (算法)TikTok runs on an AI algorithm that fill a user’s feed with content related to previous media they’ve viewed on the platform.

On the other hand, white-collar workers have remained largely untouched. From this sense, if the trend continues, the existing social and economic gaps between different races and classes will be further widened. Weakening ethics and goodwill If mankind’s so-called technological progress were to become an enemy of the common good, this would lead to a heavy blow to modern civilization.

近5年省高考英语真题.七选五汇编一．【202001月】Let’s take a minute to think about the water we use. The human body is 60% water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. When we are thirsty we just go to the kitchen and fill a glass with clean water.31 For example, farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow. When we turn on a light orswitch on a TV or a computer we use energy and we need water to produce this energy.The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want, but this is not the case for many people around the world. 32 That’s around one in 10 people in the world. If we drink dirty water, we can catch diseases from the bacteria and become ill. Every year over 500,000 children die from diarrhoea (腹泻) from dirty water. That’s around 1,400 children every day! Also, in some countries children walk many kilometers every day to get water. 33 Therefore, they don’t have time to learn how to read or write and don’t get an education.34 On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. At one school in the UK, children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6km with six litres of water. 35 People give them money to do this and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.A.We use water indirectly too.B.Every system in our body depends on water to function.C.It is to inspire people to learn more about water-related problems.D. If children walk many hours a day to get water, they can’t go to school.E.Did you know that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink?F. In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Day for Water.G.In this way, they know how it feels to walk a long distance carrying heavy bottles.二．【20196月】Rock music consists of many different styles. Even though there is a common spirit among all music groups, they make very different music. 31 At that time the Beatles entered the world of music from Liverpool.After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC, the Beatles quickly became famous in Britain with nationwide tours. By mid-1963, the Beatles had been extremely popular in England.32 They held large concerts and performed at clubs. They became the hottest thing on the pop music scene in England. They began as a modestly successful musician group and ended the year as show business legends（传说）. John Lennon and Paul McCartney were named composers of the year.33 They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music. Beatlemania hit New York on February 7, 1964. Hundreds of fans jammed the airport to greet them.34 The concert was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night audience in the history of television up to that time. The Beatles were described as a British invasion（入侵）by local and nationwide newspapers at that time. Their victory in America was still remembered as a major turning point in the history of rock and roll. Thanks to the Beatles, a lot of opportunities were opened up to new faces on the market. 35A. They decided on a tour to the United States in 1964.B. Even their hairstyles became major trends at that time.C. Rock music developed in the 1950s and the early 1960s.D. However, their songs changed the lives of generations to come.E. Many rock bands were able to follow in the footsteps of the Beatles.F.

Who sends an or a text message that just says "Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you?Who asks for a fact easily found on the Internet? ___31_______Maybe I'm the rude one for not appreciating life's little courtesies(礼节）. But many social norms（规）just don't make sense to people drowning in digital communication.Take the thank-you note. Daniel Post Senning, a coauthor of Emily Post's Etiquette, asked, “At what point does showing appreciation outweigh the cost?"32 Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages.In texts, you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello. E-mail, too, is slower than a text. The worst are those who leave a voice mail and then send an message to tell you they left a voice mail.This isn't the first time technology has changed our manners. 33 Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, suggested that people say, "Ahoy!” Finally,hello won out, and the victory sped up the greeting's use in face-to-face communications.In the age of the smart phone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business's phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, or an office, which can be easily found on a digital map. 34 And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you . How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones ,appreciate a thank-you message. 35 In traditional societies, the young learn from the old.But in modem societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.A.Then there is voice mail.B.Others,like me,want no reply.C.But people still ask these things.D.Don't these people realize that they're wasting your time?E.Won't new technology bring about changes in our daily life?F. Face-to-face communication makes comprehension much easier.G.When the telephone was invented,people didn't know how to greet a caller.Moving into a new home in a new neighborhood is an exciting experience.

Your major does not matter as much in your first of collegeFive Things Nobody Told Me about CollegeAs I type this , I am in my university dorm room. A year ago, when I was awaiting to hear the results of my college applications, I often went to websites for some type of insider look on what college would be like. However, there’s only so much that prep books, websites, and older friends can teach. Here are the top 5things nobody told me about college:61Nobody entering a university knows exactly what they want to study. If they tell you otherwise, they’re lying and will probably change what they want to purse within the first quarter of attendance . During my first quarter at University of California, Riverside (UCR),I thought that I wanted to study Political Science with its focus on International Affairs, so that’s what I applied for. However, once I worked with statewide and local government, I realized that a better fit for me would be Public Policy, and now I am in the process of changing my area.62In college, there are so many good chances for you to meet your expectations. However, there is a very important difference between wanting to do something and applying for something. In order for you to take advantage of the conferences, research, internships ,and fellowships that your university offers, apply! Step into your academic advisor’s office, introduce yourself, and begin making the valuable connections that are necessary to help during the rest of your college career. Great things happen when you step out of your comfort zone, and you would be surprised on how many chances exist if you just ask.63College is where you meet your bridesmaids, neighbors, and potential bosses. The relationships you develop now will probably be linked to the ones you value later, so he wise about the people who you invest yourself in. You are only one person, and you do not have time to waste on people whowho challenge you to be better while loving you for who you are, and be patient to the people who are the complete opposite of that description.64As a first-year, I was afraid to make any noise towards campus issues that I noticed. It was not until I became involved in student government that I gained the confidence to handle projects that I created with the help of ASUCR Office of the President. During my first quarter, I spoke directly to the Chancellor, asking him for support towards my initiatives, met with the Vive Chancellors, and cooperated with my teaching assistances to begin my undergraduate research protect. Nothing good will happen when you are silent.65At my high school, there were about only four active club and organizations that students could be a part of. Imagine my surprise when I stepped foot onto UCR’s capus, where over 400 organizations exist, ranging from political organizations to karate club. You are not paying all or your tuition(学费)to merely go to class, study, pass tests and graduate. Make something worthy out of your experience. Create that you will want to tell your grandchildren one day. It all begins here, by signing up to join an organization.。

This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor`s bill for my son`s food poisoning.I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness.38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.39 We have done a lot of it since.

【解析】
本文是一篇讨论商务和商务管理的说明文。
虽然看似有很多专业术语，但是根据我们常说的“指路词”，以及对上下文的推理，其实要做出正确答案并不难，可谓是难度中等。
文章第一段描述了business的两个含义：一是提供顾客所要商品和服务的方法；二是提供这些商品和服务的组织。
文展第二段则细述了商务管理是用来描述计划、指导以及控制公司运作技巧的术语，并在下文中对这三方面进行了一一阐述。
71. D. However, some businesses only seek to earn enough to cover their operating costs.
【解析】推理题。
本题的后一句出现了一个新名词nonprofits（非盈利），而前文的内容是在说大多数企业都在寻求利润，那这里语义的突然变化就提示了我们空格处所填内容应该与seek to make a profit（寻求利益）语义相反，而与nonprofit相同，因为只有这样才能自然的引出下文。
纵观选项，只有答案D出现了however，表示语义的转折，所以正确答案为D。
72.C. Examples of nonprofit business include such organizations as social service agencies and many hospitals.
【解析】推理题。
根据文意，前文提到的these organizations are primarily nongovernmental service providers中的these organizations实指non profits organizations，所以此处72题的内容应该是对nongovernmental service providers（非政府服务提供商）的进一步解释。
纵观选项，只有答案C是在举例子，而且也出现了关键词nonprofit，所以正确答案为C。
73.G. Planning in business management has three main aspects.
【解析】推理题。
这道题的解题方法就是我们说的充分利用“指路词”。
下文中出现了One is...，The third relates...，可见本空是个总起句，概括了什么东西包含有三个方面。
