Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes, and the intern put the letter back. The intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it.”Decades passed. Finally, the FBI received a tip that the stolen document was located very close to Washington, D．C. Their art crime team recovered the letter but as unable to press charges because the time of limitations had ended. The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian's property.The letter was written by Darwin to thank an American geologist, Dr.Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, for sending him copies of his research into the geology of the region that would become Yellowstone National Park.The letter is in fairly good condition, in spite of being out of the care of trained museum staff for so long. “It was luckily in good shape，” says Kapsalis. “And we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it. It has some glue on it that has colored it slightly, but nothing that will prevent us from using it. After it is repaired, we will take digital photos of it and that will be available online. One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online.”It would now be difficult for an intern, a visitor or a thief to steal a document like this. “Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s，” says Kapsalis, “and we keep our high value documents in a safe that I don't even have access to.”4．What happened to Darwin's letter in the mid1970s?A．It was recovered by the FBI.B．It was stolen more than once.C．It was put in the Archives for research purposes.D．It was purchased by the Smithsonian Institution Archives.5．What did the FBI do after the recovery of the letter?A．They proved its authenticity.B．They kept it in a special safe.C．They arrested the suspect immediately.D．They pressed criminal charges in vain.6．What is Darwin's letter about?A．The evolution of Yellowstone National Park.B．His cooperation with an American geologist.C．Some geological evidence supporting his theory.D．His acknowledgement of help from a professional.7．What will the Smithsonian Institution Archives do with the letter according to Kapsalis?A．Reserve it for research purposes only.B．Turn it into an object of high interest.C．Keep it a permanent secret.D．Make it available online.CWhile the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world's first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher. Before you start imagining a humanlike robot walking around the cl assroom. Will is just an avatar (化身) that appears on the students' desktops, or smartphone screens, when ordered to come.The autonomous animation (动画制作) platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to show humanlike behavior. The digital teacher is as signed to teach “Be sustainable with energy” — a free program for Auckland elementary schools.Just like the humans it replaced. Will is able to instantly react to the students' responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up nonverbal cues (暗示).For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This twoway interaction not only helps attract the students' attention, but also allows the program's developers to monitor their involvement, and make changes if needed.Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Willlike avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation. He says, “I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver costeffective, rich, educational experience in the future.”The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, “What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.” However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.8．What was special for some elementary school students in Auckland?A．A digital teacher taught them.B．They first saw something digital.C．This was the start of a new school year.D．They could get close to smartphone screens.9．What is the benefit of this twoway interaction?A．It can smile back.B．It can use a microphone.C．It can talk any topic for free.D．It can change if necessary.10．What's the author's attitude to Will's replacing human educators soon?A．Optimistic. B．Doubtful.C．Unclear. D．Disapproving.11．What might be the best title for the passage?A．New Hightech Contributes to EducationB．The World's First Digital Teacher Appears in the ClassroomC．The World's First Digital Teacher, a Help to StudentsD．New Zealand Will Replace Teachers in the Classroom.D[2020·郑州市高三质量预测]Have you ever heard someone say “You totally look like you're a Jessica” or something similar? People seem to think tha t they know what kind of person a “Jessica” or a “Michael” looks like. Why is this?According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, humans tend to associate people's names with their appearances, and can even guess someone's name based on how they look.Researchers collected thousands of photos of people's faces. They labeled (贴标签于) each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38% of the time. It seems that certain characteristics of faces give them clues about someone's name, Reader's Digest reported.However, this only worked when the volunteers looked at names from their own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames more often than their real names. This may show that a person's appearance is affected by their name only if they use it often.“This kind of facename matching happens because of a process of a selffulfilling prophecy (预言), as we become what other people expect us to become，” Ruth Mayo from T ile University told science news website EurekAlert!Earlier studies have shown that gender and race stereotypes (刻板印象) can affect a person's appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people tend to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be “delicate” and “female”， just like the flower they are named for.12．How is this passage developed?A．By giving examples.B．By asking questions.C．By introducing an experiment.D．By comparing different cases.13．What can be inferred from the study?A．Volunteers found it much easier to guess nicknames.B．Names have different associations in different cultures.C．Volunteers could guess the characteristics of the interviewees.D．The people in the photos and volunteers were from the same culture.14．Why do some people look like their names according to Ruth Mayo?A．They want to please everyone around them.B．They don't want to be different from others.C．They tend to become what others expect them to become.D．They like to copy famous people who share the same name.15．What may be the best title for this passage?A．What determines our namesB．Why we look like our namesC．How we get rid of our stereotypesD．How stereotypes affect people's looks第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AHere are some top cities to visit in the world.Cape Town, South AfricaCape Town shines at the southern point of the African continent. Explore Table Mountain National Park, which spreads along the Atlantic coast from Signal Hill to Cape Point. At Boulders Beach near Cape Point, share the sand with nearly 3,000 African penguins. Within the national park is Lion's Head peak. Walk up Lion's Head for excellent views of the coast and Robben Island.Zermatt, SwitzerlandThis Alpine Swiss city is most famous for the Matterhorn, a huge mountain with one of the highest summits (顶峰) in Europe. In its shadow is tiny Zermatt, a car-free town of just over 5,000 people. While winter is the most popular time for world-class skiing, summer is a great time to hike the surrounding Alps.Barcelona, SpainThis magical city in the Catalonia region of Spain has everything from grand beaches to Antoni Gaudi's imaginative architecture. Take an hour-long train ride to the mountain of Montserrat and see the amazingly shaped rocks that influenced Gaudi's work.Prague, Czech RepublicThis Eastern European city is the modern capital of the Czech Republic and the historical capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia. Walk across the Charles Bridge and visit the John Lennon Wall to get a sense of the city's quiet revolutionary (革命的) soul. From the unique art of David Cerny — often hidden in plain sight — to the growing counterculture (反主流文化) scene, Prague is full of surprises.Goreme, TurkeyThis city is home to Goreme National Park, an open-air museum and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the 10th- and 11th-century cave churches that display rare examples of Byzantine art. Goreme is a popular destination for backpackers —travelers often on months-long trips.

In 2012, he and hisfamily were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed ontop of the other, after learning there were local children whoslept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids’ sports teams and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course.Using safety guidelines and his daughter’s bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays. As the word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded—along with Mickelson’s bunk bed output. “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage，” he said. “The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”， the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1，500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapid growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter and went from making “great money to zero money”. He’s never looked back. “I found that the need I have isn’t financial，” he said. “The need I have is seeing the joy on kids’ faces, knowing that I can make a difference.”【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

高考题型提能练二十四 Unit 24 SocietyⅠ.阅读理解A(2016·安徽重点中学联考)Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Twothirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog〞，and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat〞.What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously suspected. Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets —to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.1.The underlined word “swimmingly〞 in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________〞.A.earlyB.sweetlyC.quicklyD.smoothly2.What is found surprising about cats and dogs?A.They eat and sleep together.B.They observe each other's behaviors.C.They learn to speak each other's language.D.They know something from each other's voices.3.It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.A.have common interestsB.are less different thanthoughtC.have a common body languageD.are less intelligent thanexpected4.What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A.We should learn to live in harmony.B.We should know more about animals.C.We should live in peace with animals.D.We should learn more body languages.BPerhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money.Strangeas it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires — not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.Real riches consist of welldeveloped and hearty capacities to enjoy life.Most people are already swamped (淹没) with things.They eat, wear, go and talk too much.They_live_in_too_big_a_house_with_too_many_rooms,_yet_their_house_of_life_i s_a_hut.Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅), a royal palace.Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room.Here are several rooms your house of life should have.Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things.If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment.To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent.Real riches are of the spirit.And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them.And life is a matter of thrills.Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life.No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.5.The author intends to tell us that________.A.true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB.big houses are people's most valued possessionsC.big houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD.true happiness comes from spiritual riches6.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that________.A.however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfiedB.however materially rich, they remain spiritually poorC.though their house is big, they prefer a simple lifeD.though their house is big, it seems to be a cage7.It can be learned from the passage that________.A.more money brings more happinessB.art is needed to make your house beautifulC.literature can enrich your spiritual lifeD.sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness8.What would be the best title for the passage?A.House of LifeB.Secret of WealthC.Rest and RefreshmentD.Interest and EnthusiasmⅡ.任务型阅读Some Steps for Breaking Through Your Comfort ZoneA comfort zone is a selfimposed boundary where a person will refuse to push past. Doing so usually fills him or her with nervousness and anxiety. So let's talk about breaking out of this comfort zone.Get information.

Unit 24 SocietyⅠ.阅读理解ATelling fewer lies benefits people physically and mentally. Anita Kelly, study author and professor of psychology at the University of Notre Dame, employed 110 adults for her study. She divided them into two groups and asked one group to stop lying for 10 weeks. Lies included big ones and tiny ones—any false statements—but participants were still allowed to leave out the truth, keep secrets and avoid questions they didn't want to answer, etc. The other group wasn't given any special instructions about lying.It turns out that both groups reduced their lying, but those who were specifically told to tell the truth improved their health more. “We found that the participants could purposefully and dramatically reduce their everyday lies, and that in turn was associated with significantly improved health，〞 said Kelly.When participants in the nolie group told three fewer white lies than they did in other weeks, they experienced, on average, fewer mentalhealth complaints and physical complaints. They were less likely to feel tense or sad and also experienced fewer sore throats and headaches. They also reported that personal relationships improved. Additionally, participants found themselves honest about their daily accomplishments, and they stopped making up excuses for being late or failing to complete a task, for example.“It's certainly a worthy goal to have people be more honest and interact with others in a more honest way，〞says psychologist Robert Feldman. “That would be beneficial, I'm a little doubtful whether it makes us all healthier, but it may make us healthier in a psychological way.〞文章大意：本文是一篇科研报告。

It was taken with a camera fastened to my husband's chest. I think it conveys all the joy and spirit of our family while also being wonderfully creative and powerfully visual.Adult runner-up: Chris Evans, 49, from LondonThis photo was taken on the beach of Norfolk. We've been going there as a family for the last six years-the kids always look forward to a traditional holiday with sandy beaches, picnics and ice creams. This picture has our three children playing in a sand hole on the beach. It took them less time to dig the hole than it would to complete a level of Sonic the Hedgehog-a video game-but they had twice as much fun!Under-18s winner: Rhine Cunningham, 17, from ColchesterI thought up the idea while watching my dog sit near our boots, wanting to go for a walk. It took quite a few attempts to get her to stay still, but I finally got this one. I really like this photo becau se it looks as if my dog is saying, “Can we go for a walk now?”Under-18s runner-up: Hope Simpson, 13, from CountyDurhamThis is a photo of me, my mum and dad, my brother and our dog. I took it with my cell phone. It's a special picture because it was the first time we'd been able to go out for a walk in over a year-I was recovering from CRPS (复杂性局部疼痛综合征) and had been in a wheelchair.
