But that world is disappearing.A report shows that children are more likely to watch programs and videos on laptops and mobile phones, rather than on television screens. That is to say, watching television within families is becoming a private and individual activity. __2__ TV sets, the focus in a lot of homes for many years, are falling out of favor among children.__3__ The monitoring survey shows their viewing has slightly increased this year to an average of over two and a half hours per day. Half of children and teenagers preferred watching backtoback episodes (剧集), so that two and a half hours of viewing might be for a single program. __4__ The idea of a TV channel with a fixed schedule also seems as clumsy as a DVD player.Such shared viewing is so last century.

2020届新高考英语新题型练习完形填空阅读理解七选五套餐练（1）完形填空（山东省临沂市2020年高三上学期期末考试）Three years ago，I participated in Model United Nations(MUN)held by the Education Department，which was a mock(模拟的)UN activity．During the two days，students are separated in different groups which 21 different countries to debate and try to solve problems．MUN has 22 awards：best delegates(代表)，honorary mentions，and verbal mentions．Each time I participate in MUN，I made good 23 and undoubtedly got a few awards．But I often felt as if I’d 24 because I had never won the best delegate award．I 25 those who didn’t deserve to win the award but won it various times，and I was just filled with 26 at their success．But later I realized that it was also 27 not to get the award because I could actually 28 something，and that I shouldn’t 29 the best delegate award until I was the best delegate I could be．Failures are completely subjective—we can look at a result as a failure or a 30．Any failure can be regarded as a(n) 31 because you can always learn something from it and do 32 next time．This is supported by John Locke’s theory that we are born with blank views：knowledge and ability are learned from our 33．That’s true．If I make a mistake in the life practice，then I probably won’t 34 that next time．I believe this is 35 the best way to become better．21．A．strengthen B．condemn C．inspire D．represent 22．A．identical B．temporary C．various D．false 23．A．preparations B．predictions C．appointments D．explanations 24．A．accelerated B．failed C．exited D．succeeded 25．A．approached B．trained C．expected D．witnessed26．A．relief B．envy C．satisfaction D．delight 27．A．annoyed B．ashamed C．good D．terrible 28．A．desert B．1earn C．delete D．display29．A．win B．miss C．deliver D．value30．A．bond B．bet C．victory D．1oss31．A．aim B．benefit C．burden D．1imit32．A．funnier B．worse C．better D．slower33．A．decisions B．attitudes C．positions D．experiences 34．A．repeat B．admit C．accept D．notice 35．A．wrongly B．scarcely C．truly D．narrowly阅读理解（山东师大附中2017级第三次月考）AI was in the garden with Augie, my grandson, watching the bees. “How do they make honey?” Augie asked. “Actually, Augie, I don’t know,” I replied. “But, Grandma, you have your phone,” he said. For Augie, holding a smartphone almost means knowing everything.During my childhood I was crazy about books. Over time, reading hijacked my brain, as large areas once processing the real world adapted to processing the printed word. As far as I can tell, this early immersion (沉浸) didn’t prevent my development.Many parents worry that “screen time” will damage children’s development, but recent research suggests that most of the common fears about children and screens are unfounded. There is one exception: looking at screens before bed really disturbs sleep, in people of all ages. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) used to recommend strict restrictions on screen exposure. Last year, the organization examined the relevant science more thoroughly and changed its recommendations. The new guidelines stress that what matters is what children watch and with whom.New tools have always led to panic guesses. The novel, the telephone, and the television were all declared to be the End of Civilization, particularly in the hands of the young. Part of the reason may be that adult brains require a lot of focus and effort to learn something new, while children’s brains are designed to master new environments naturally. New technologies always seem disturbing to the adults attempting to master them, while attractive to those children likeAugie.When Augie’s father got home, Augie rushed to meet him and said in excitement. “Daddy, Daddy, look,” he said, reaching for my phone. “Do you know how bees make honey? I’ll show you…”21. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “hijacked” in Paragraph 2?A. occupied.B. damaged.C. improved.D. relaxed.22. What do the new guidelines of AAP focus on about “screen time”?A. The harm to children.B. The content and context.C. Children’s sleep.D. People’s fears.23. What might be the author’s attitude towards “screen time”?A. Opposed.B. Doubtful.C. Disappointed.D. Favorable.BToday companies have branches around the world. More than 11% of the US employers and employees work online either full-time or part-time, and that number is continuing growing. It is believed that it is a waste of time and money to fly around the world for face-to-face meetings. An effective solution to this problem is to use Web meetings.A large group of presentations, training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face-to-face experience. Web meetings are online meetings where an organizer invites attendees to listen to or watch an online presentation by presenters. Besides, Web meetings can be recorded for later use in presentations or training projects or downloaded for on-demand playback.Presenters can take real-time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting. Some Web meeting software programs can monitor the users’ desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents. If so, the program can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention, and how long the distraction lasts. In this way, the presenters will know which parts of their meetings need improving.Web meetings can work well because they’re hosted on a server (服务器). Images from the presenter’s desktop are taken, uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have accessto the server. Web meetings require a powerful server to deal with several images a second and “serve” them back to thousands of users at the same time.Companies have two choices when it comes to these servers. They can either buy a special Web meeting server to host their meetings on-site, or they can pay for a Web meeting service every time and let the off-site provider worry about hosting the meetings. The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Web meetings, the average number of people attending the meetings, and the quality of engineering and information technology.Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business. With all the technologies today, the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.24.What is the disadvantage of the traditional meeting?A.It needs more people to organize it.B.It is expensive and time-consuming.C.It results in traffic accidents frequently.D.It fails to meet the demands of big companies.25.How do some Web meeting software programs help improve the meetings?A.By presenting successful documents.B.By recording the frequency of distraction.C.By tracking the listeners’ state of attention.D.By taking surveys about a successful meeting.26.What do you know about Web meetings according to the text?A.Web meetings are likely to be widely used.B.Web meetings help presenters stay focused.C.Web meetings determine the quality of engineering.D.Web meetings work well without the help of a server.CEvery year, thousands of teenagers participate in programs at their local art museums. But do any of them remember their time at museum events later in life? A new report suggests that the answer is yes – and finds that alumni (毕业生) of arts-based museum programs credit them with changing the course of their lives, even years after the fact.The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are. They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have been in existence since the 1990s. Alumni, whose current ages range from 18 to 36, were invited to find out how they viewed their participation years after the fact.Among the alumni surveyed, 75 percent of alumni rated the teen program experience as the most favorable impact on their own lives, beating family, school and their neighborhoods. Nearly 55 percent thought t hat it was one of the most important experiences they’d ever had, regardless of age. And two-thirds said that they were often in situations where their experience in museums affected their actions or thoughts.It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens enthusiastic about arts even after they reach adulthood: 96 percent of participants had visited an art museum within the last two years, and 68 percent had visited an art museum five or more times within the last two years. Thirty-two percent of program alumni work in the arts as adults.Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the impact of teen-specific art programs in museums, it reflects other research on the important benefits of engaging with the arts. A decade of surveys by the National Endowment for the Arts found that childhood experience with the arts is significantly associated with their income and educational attainment as adults. Other studies have linked arts education to everything from lower drop-out rates to improvement in critical thinking skills.27. What does the underlined phrase “the fact” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Changing the course of children’s life.B. Participating in childhood art programs.C. Organizing arts-based museum programs.D. Remembering the time at museum events.28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell?A. The result of the study.B. The process of the study.C. The approach to the study.D. The object and content of the study.29. What can be inferred of the study mentioned in the text?A. Passion for arts may remain long in kids’ whole life.B. No other studies exist concerning the benefits of arts.C. Age matters in how people view their art experiences.D. Most children taking part in art programs will work in arts.30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. How is Art Connected to Our Life?B. Can Art Education Affect Our Income?C. What Should Art Museums do for Kids?D. Should Children Walk into Art Museums?七选五（山东师范大学附属中学2020届高三第三次月考）Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from ourselves or someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as lasting.31 We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. 32Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. 33Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we oncesaid. We remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: 34 If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. 35 Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.A.Is it loving?B.How should I say it?C.We all talk to ourselves sometimes.D.Negative words destroy all those things.E.Generally people like positive and pleasant words.F.However, critical language may cause anger and defense.G.So we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves.参考答案完型填空21-25DCABD 26-30 BCBAC 31-35 BCDAC阅读理解21-25ABD BC 26-30 ABDAD七选五CGFAD。

We know that choosing a college major can be very hard. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. Here’s what you need to know about college majors before you commit.What is a major?36 Beyond general college requirements, you’ll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry, Literature, or Political Science.How important is my major?The major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Many graduates find jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied in college. If you intend to earn a professional degree after college, you will probably need certain courses. 37When do I declare a major?This varies widely across schools and programs. 38 Others require that you declare upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.39Definitely. One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and arouses new passions. However, keep this in mind, every major has necessarycoursework. If you change your major late in the game, it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.What are minors and double majors?If one field of study doesn’t satisfy your intellectual appetite, consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration, 40 A double major provides you with an understanding of two academic fields. It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements.A. Can I change my mind?B. Is my major time-consuming?C. It’s your specialized area of study in college.D. Most students find one major is more than enough.E. Some schools may give you one year or more to decide.F. But many future doctors major in non-science related fields.G. The only difference is that it doesn’t r equire as many classes.36～40 CFEAO评分标准：36~40小题，每小题2分。

GHave you ever wondered how the trainers at Sea World get the 19,000-pound whale to jump 22 feet out of water and perform tricks? They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine．(1) .So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce(强化) the behavior that they want repeated — in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope． (2) , in a position where the whale can't help but do what's expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, it's given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing — no criticism, no warning and no feedback. (3) . Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope．It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn't starve．(4) . Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, under-criticize．People know they need help when they mess up. (5) , people will not forget the event and usually will not repeat it.So we need to set up the circumstances so that people can't fail. Over-celebrate,under-criticize…and know how far to raise the rope．A．This is a great challengeB．And the whale stays right where it isC．If we figure out a way to motivate the whaleD．They start with the rope below the surface of the waterE．If we under-criticize，punish and discipline less than expectedF．Whales are taught that their negative behavior won't be acknowledgedG．The simple lesson to be learned from the whale trainers is to over-celebrate11.

GComing to study in the UK is your opportunity to gain the skills，outlook and confidence you need to fulfil your potential．Applying to study in the UK is a straightforward process．(1) 1．Decide on a university or college and course．To ensure you choose the course that is right for you and for what you want to achieve it is best to read as much as you can about the range of courses，colleges and universities available and compare them．It is also important to check the course entry requirements．(2) If you have any questions，you can contact the university directly，who will be very happy to help you find the information you need．2．Register and apply．Applying for an undergraduate course in the UK is simple；there is one place where you can register and apply to all of the UK universities and colleges - you register and apply through UCAS （Universities and Colleges Admissions Service）．3．(3)Your university or college will contact you （usually via email）to tell you whether or not you have received an offer to study．If you applied via UCAS it's easy to track the status of your application at any time．(4) You have a place and you can accept straightaway．If you are accepted with a conditional offer，the place is yours as long as you meet a few extra requirements．This could be achieving certain exam grades or English language test scores．For some courses you may be asked to come for an interview before you receive your offer，either on the phone or sometimes in person．(5)A．Apply for a visa．B．Accept your offer．C．We will guide you through it step by step．D．Once you have your offer and your visa，it's time to get packing!E．You can do this using the course profiles on the institutions' websites．F．If you are accepted with an unconditional offer，then congratulations!G．Check the course information before you apply to find out whether this is required．16.

GI work at a community library．Many people are under the assumption that public libraries are no longer needed because of the Internet．Nothing could be further from the truth．(1) ．A simple Internet search for "cats" produces approximately 2.98 billion results in less than one second．It is a huge number! How do you even begin to sort through all of those results？We hear so much about "false news"．(2) ．Librarians are there to help．They have been trained，through special classes and workshops，to sort through all of the results and find credible sources．Author Neil Gaiman said，"Google can bring you back 100，000 answers．A librarian can bring you back the right one．"(3) ．It helps connect people with the resources they need to find a job，continue their education，and learn new skills．It helps seniors find the resources they need to keep up with the "modern" world．It helps new parents develop a love for literacy in their children and bond with them．It helps local artists and craftsmen display their work．It helps students find the answers to those seemingly impossible homework questions．It allows people to meet and exchange ideas．Libraries are so much more than books and information．Yes，there are public computers，Internet access，movies，music，programs and a thousand other things．(4) ．They are places where people feel safe and welcomed．They are places where someone who has limited resources can freely access materials and equipment they wouldn't otherwise be able to．They can，at times，be a harbor for someone who needs a quiet place to work or study．Some of the best memories of my childhood involve going to the local library and in speaking with many others in the neighborhood，they too have those same memories．They are presently making those same memories with their children and their grandchildren．(5) ．I don't see the Internet doing that．A．We don't know what sources to trust．B．The public library helps people better their lives．C．The importance of library staff comes to the surface．D．However，libraries' meaning and relevance goes even beyond that．E．The public library brings people together to build a strong community．F．In fact，it is because of the Internet that public libraries are needed now more than ever．G．Every day children，students and adults use libraries to learn，grow and achieve their dreams．21.

The colors that you select create a distinct atmosphere in the room. (1)Pick the color for your room and you can create whatever you feel like. The color will also help you to enlarge the space or making it more inviting, which will also make differently all about it.However, the trick is to select the right version of that particular color. There are different hues (色调) for blues, for instance. (2) Here we have presented a guide that will let you gain a deep insight about the colors.Blue(3) For kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms it is an ideal choice. Of course it is also associated with sadness that means it may not strike note for each and everyone. It is a popular choice among people. Blue comes from the cold side of the color wheel, so it can make the room feel cold, unless and until it is south filling space. If you are attracted to blue color, think of going for purple, or mix red and purple.Dark blue is best for a living room. Probably it is best reserved for high ceiling space. (4)GreenLike blue, green is also a calm shade. (5) It is the shade that reflects nature and renewal. Green produces a positive energy without the feeling of over stimulation.A. Colors can light up the mood of the room.B. You can use it for a living room or a bedroom.C. They won't create similar effect and atmosphere generally.D. Traditionally, blue is just related to calmness and comfort.E. It is better that you select colors that are very warm like blue.F. Dark blue will really make you feel the wall appear near to you.G.

GHow to Rent Your HouseBefore handing the keys to your house over to a complete stranger for care，there are decisions you need to make．In fact，the decisions you make now，before searching for a tenant （房客），will make the biggest impact on the success of your rental．(1) What Condition Do You Want Your House in？There is no end to the amount of improving you can do to your house before renting it out．(2) When is good enough，good enough？A house should be clean，empty （unless you are offering it "furnished"，which is uncommon）and free from any major repairs at the time the tenant moves in．Remember，the home does not need to be as fancy as you would want it to be．(3) Tenants will generally never take as good care of your house as you do-so don't spend too much time or money making unnecessary upgrades that will only be ignored or broken．Should You Use a Property Manager？(4) If you have the time，abilities，and energy to manage yourself-you can save a good deal of money by doing so．However，if you try to manage without the ability-it could end up costing you much more than what a property manager might charge．How Much Can You Rent Your House for？Luckily，discovering what the monthly rent will bear for your house is not difficult．(5) In business，market research means to get out there and find out what others in your industry are charging；learning how much to charge for rent is no different．Your house will generally rent for about the same amount as other properties that are of similar location，size and condition．A．The problem becomes learning when to stop．B．No one wants to be a landlord with those problems．C．The following are some questions to answer before you rent out you house．D．Have a professional carpet cleaner clean the carpets before showing the property．E．Look around at other rentals in your area and try to see what the typical quality is．F．The best way to determine how much your house will rent for is to simply do market research．G．The decision about whether to manage yourself or hire a property manager cannot be made by anyone other than you．31.

GIf you stayed up or had a bad night of sleep last night，you know it's difficult to stay awake in class today．Your teacher's voice might begin to sound like a lullaby（催眠曲）．(1) To keep yourself awake，some tips are worth trying in class．Sit in the front of the room．Why？(2) Besides，it'll be easier to pay attention and participate when you're in the front．You'll also be near the people who are more likely to participate，and the sound of their voices might keep you awake．(3) Ask and answer questions and pay attention to the lecture．This will help if you're tiredor discouraged by the content of the lecture，because you can ask your teacher questions to get to the bottom of the problems．Talking will also keep you engaged and alert．It might be helpful to make a goal for yourself to answer or ask at least 3 questions per class．(4) For example，you might say "I didn't understand the last part of the proof．Could you explain it again in more detail？"Listen actively to the lesson．Active listening is a great way to force yourself to stay awake because it requires engagement of your mind as well as your body．(5) To effectively listen to your teacher，you should try to maintain eye contact，face the speaker，pay close attention to what the speaker is saying and ask questions during a pause in the lecture．A．Participate in class activities．B．Develop interest in the subject．C．If so，classrooms can be boring because you're tired．D．Keep silent all the time and try to catch as much information as possible．E．To avoid annoying your teacher you should try to keep your questions on topic．F．You'll be more motivated to stay awake if you know that the teacher can see you easily．G．Practicing active listening can help you keep your eyes open for the length of the lesson．36.

GWhat's the purpose of building patience abilities？In a word，happiness．Better relationships，more success．But indeed it takes effort to build them successfully．(1) Thus，when the big ones come，we will have developed the patience we need for hard times．Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience．We，human beings，are still constructed with our old reptilian（爬行动物似的）brain that protects our physical and emotional survival．On the emotional survival side，we want our way to get ahead，to achieve，to "look good．" Let's just face it．(2) So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience-anger，impatience，blaming and shaming．We all have them．And we can grow beyond them．Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain．Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions-we try to change the other person，situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort．But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that's the source of our pain，but how our mind is set．(3)Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts．Most of us don't really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest-but very present-painful feelings．(4) But to really care for ourselves，get curious about what's actually happening in the moment inside you．Focusing on what's actually happening，you can notice the worry of not wanting what 's happening，the resistance．(5) When you find yourself impatient，or angry with yourself，you can remind yourself that you are growing，and that，"Sure，this is understandable；this is what happens to me when I'm bothered．" You can say to yourself，" It's true．I don't like this；this is uncomfortable，but I can tolerate it．A．Practice positive self-talk．B．So the solution to pain is an inside job．C．Patience abilities benefit you in many ways．D．Learn to forgive yourself for being impatient in hard times．E．we ignore the fact that we're in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem．F．The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habit-forming．G．Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pains and annoyances．41.

GContinuous learning benefits us in many ways. First of all, it allows the increase in knowledge and ability in our career. For example, watching someone work can make us a better worker. (1) For example, we can learn about the general workforce and how the application process works to better prepare us for job searching. This can help if for some reason you lose your job and need to find other work.What's more, continuous learning can open our mind. Having an open mind and willingness to take on new ideas can do wonders. First of all, it builds your attitude towardschange. (2) Second, when you take continuous learning into account, you can begin to understand how others feel about a particular issue.(3) They are always looking for new experiences and do different things. Moreover, they not only have knowledge on various topics that aren't always related to present roles but also know about the latest trends and technologies in the industry.To develop continuous learning, you have to begin with setting a clear and specificgoal. (4) Once your goal is set, build a system to help support your strategy. You want to be looking for different sources of information, but also to be picky about it. In other words, try to learn within your specific field but ensure the information is coming from a trustworthy source. At the same time, do use tools to help improve your learning system. (5) Seminars (研讨会), workshops, and live classes are the tools that modern learners need as they make learning effective.A. Learning can improve other areas in our lives.B. Besides, learning can prepare us for the unexpected.C. If you're always learning, you are always improving.D. Excellent continuous learners behave in a specific manner.E. Being excited about change can affect others around you positively.F. There're various tools to help you present information and learning.G. Knowing what you want to achieve can encourage you to keep learning.46. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G47. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G48. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G49. A. A B. B C. C D.

GSmart devices are sometimes powerful．They put a world of information at our fingertips．(1) That is a huge blessing for parents seeking flexible work hours．Smart phones and tablets can also promote efficiency by allowing people to get things done in spare moments that would otherwise be wasted，such as while queuing for coffee．They can even help lazybones create the false impression that they are working around the clock，by programming their e-mail to be sent at 1 am．But for most people，the servant has become the master．Not long ago only doctors were on call all the lime．Now everybody is．Bosses think nothing of invading their employees' free time．(2) Even people with strong mind check their smart devices with heavy addiction，even during pre-dinner drinks，and send e-mails first thing in the morning and last thing at night．(3) How can we harvest the benefits of connectivity without becoming its slaves？One solution is digital dieting．Just as the abundance of junk food means that people have to be more disciplined about their eating habits，(4) Maybe the only way to break the 24/7 habit is to act together rather than individually．The firms should introduce rules about when people are expected to be offline，and encourage them to work together to make this possible．We must be aware that the faster smart devices become and the more addictive the apps that are designed for them，the stronger the addiction will grow．(5)A．This is partly because smart devices are addictive．B．Work invades the home far more than domestic chores invade the office．C．Now it's time to outsmart the smart devices by insisting that everyone turn them off from time to lime．D．the abundance of junk information means we have to be more disciplined about our browsing habits．E．Banning texting at weekends can really show the iPhone who is boss．F．They enable people to work at home instead of crowding into the subway with smelly strangers．G．What can be done to keep smart devices in their place？51.

GHow to revise for a testStudying for tests may be one of the most difficult parts of school． (1) If you feel discouraged about an approaching test and need some directions for preparing yourself，consider using the following suggestions to help you out．Aim foremost to understand the concepts．Keep the important points in mind，and ignore unnecessary information． (2)Ask for help．When the need arises，it is best to receive help from the others． (3) You could also ask him/her for a set of questions and answers that could help you memorize the information．You could also ask a family member or a friend for help．Practice in everyday life．Fit reviewing into everyday life by sticking up notes with sentences you need to remember for the test written upon them． (4) You could possibly put one on the bathroom mirror，one at the table and another by the TV．This is optional but highly recommended．(5)Find out how much you remember certain things and what's missing．Decide what you did well in and what you did not so well in．This may boost your chances of getting more marks in the assessment and may also help you remember for next time．For instance，if you are struggling on maths problems based on geometry，then put this down as something that you need to review more than the subjects you are good at．Review often but little．Do not push yourself and try reviewing everything in one day．Practice takes time and if you rush，you won't remember anything．A. Go through what you have been learning．B. Mark your practice tests．C. As long as you remain focused on the main topics，you will be able to do well on the test．D. However，even the worst test performance could be turned around into a successful attempt．E. It can be difficult to remember the material and understand which points to study．F. You will notice them every day and reviewing won't seem to be boring or dull．G. Ask your teacher to summarize the topic with all the important points．56. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G57. A. A B.

GVitamin D is necessary for bone-building，immune （免疫）function，blood sugar control ，positive mood and more．(1) The lower your vitamin D level is，the higher your risk of death from any cause will be．However，it's not a great idea to just take a supplement （补品）off the drugstore shelf and start taking it．Since many of us have an inadequate amount vitamin D，also known as the sunshine vitamin" ，doctors will often give us high levels of D supplements，with closes ranging from2，000 to 10，000 I（International Units）per day，up to 50，000 IU per week and sometimes even more．(2) Very big doses （剂量）of vitamin D can cause a build-up of calcium （钙）in the blood，which leads to poor appetite，weakness，weight loss or other diseases．Here's the bigger issue；(3) A build-up of stored vitamin D can cause avoidable problems，leading to problems such as kidney （肾）stones．(4) The National Institutes of Health set the Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitaminD at 600 IU daily for babies，children，and adults up to 70 years old．Adults aged 71 and older need 800 IU，since the ability to absorb vitamin D drops with age．Because the fat cells take vitamin D up，making it less available for use by the body，(5)Though you'll get a bit of vitamin D from foods - including fatty fish，beef liver，cheese，milk and so on - the amounts are so small that there's little need to worry that they'll put you ，over the daily dose．A．It can help prevent many diseases．B．We can actually reduce the risk of death．C．people who are fat may also need more vitamin D．D．any extra intake of vitamin D can get stored in the body．E．But like all good things，it's possible to get too much of it．F．The average daily recommended amounts vary based on your age．G．Vitamin D should be supplemented carefully despite its importance．61.

Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and things like curt ains. Even if there isn’t a registry, a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with, like a piece of art or a plant.38 This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn’t a lot of food served. There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party. The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home. Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home, people may be asked to help unpack boxes. 39Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift. 40 Now most homes have central heating anddon’t use fires to keep warm.A.

They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine ． (1) .So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce( 加强 ) the behavior that they want repeated — in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope． (2) , in a position where the whale can't help but do what's expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, it's given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing — no criticism, no warning and no feedback. (3) . Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope． It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn't starve ．(4) . Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, under-criticize ． People know they need help when they mess up.

2020年高考英语阅读理解+七选五专题练习(阅读理解+七选五押题预测，建议下载练习)Ⅰ.阅读理解AFeeling down？Why not visit one of these four websites?This site was created in 1999 and gets about seven million visitors per month.Two of its videos have been chosen as winners for the Webby Awards：Pixar Intro Parody and Web Site Story.Other funny videos to look out for include a debate on the advantages and disadvantages of going to college.This site has lots of really funny videos.And as the name suggests，users vote on videos，choosing the options “funny” or “die”．If the video receives too many “die” votes，it’s sent to the site’s “crypt”．But if it gets enough “funny” votes，it goes into the Hall of Fame.The site was created in 2006 by comedians Will Ferrell and Adam McKay.The site’s first video，The Landlord，has had over 70 million views.Videos to watch out for include Just a Tip：Taxi，with some valuable advice on how to catch a taxi，and Over Analyzing Texts，with some tips on how to respond to text messages.Founded in 2005， is a social news and entertainment website.Registered users put funny content in the form of the video link or texts on the website.Other users then vote these things “up” or “down”．The most recent and well-liked content appears at the top on the front page of the site.First appearing as a satirical newspaper in 1988， has hundred of videos and articles on news and current affairs，a nd receives an average of 7.5 million visitors a month.It’s famous for its amusing items，such as Michelle Obama Seen Outside Walking FamilyRhinoceros or Dad Can’t Believe Lawn.1．If you want to watch videos ever winning the Webby Awards，you can visit . A． B．C． D．2．Videos on the website are .A．watched over 70 million timesB．voted by their usersC．based on newspaper storiesD．created by users3．What do and have in common?A．They include funny videos.B．They include valuable advice.C．They include debates on education.D．They provide satirical news.BFood storing is common in members of the crow(乌鸦) family.A new study tested the birds outside this naturally occurring behaviour，which may have evolved(进化) specifically because it gives crows a survival advantage.Some crow species are known to naturally use tools to recover food.So the researchers tested whether the birds could store and recover a tool so they could get it at their food after a gap of 17 hours—something we wouldn’t expect them to do naturally.But they were able to instantly select the tool out of a number of unnecessary items.In another experiment，the researchers taught crows to select a token(礼品券) from a number of items so that they could then exchange for food.Again，the birds then showed that they could plan for the future using this new behaviour.This is different from all of the previous studies in future planning，which have focused on naturally occurring behaviour.For example，we know that chimpanzees(黑猩猩) select，transport and save appropriate tools for future needs.These studies have shown that animals can plan for the future—but they left an important question open for debate.Are animals only able to plan to use abilities that have evolved togive them a specific advantage，or can they flexibly and intelligently apply planning behaviour across various actions？Most critics would say the former，as the animals were tested in naturally occurring behaviours.But the new research provides the first evidence that animal species can plan for the future using behaviour that doesn’t typically occur in nature.This supports the view that at least some recognitive abilities in animals don’t evolve just in response to specific problems.Instead，it suggests that animals can apply these behaviours flexibly across problems in a similar way to humans.We need to investigate how flexible behaviour evolved.Then we might be able to see how crows’ abili ty to plan for the future fits in with their broader cognitive powers.4．What’s the new finding about some crows according to Paragraph 1?A．They can store food.B．They can use tools to recover food.C．They can store and recover tools.D．They can select and store food.5．What are crows trained by scientists to do when given a token?A．Reject it casually. B．Exchange it for food.C．Save it as their food. D．Build a nest with it.6．What do scientists think of the studies that animals can plan for the future?A．They are controversial.B．They are disappointing.C．They are contradictory.D．They are convincing.7．What can be inferred about recognitive abilities in animals?A．They develop only with age.B．It is unclear how they’ve evolved now.C．No animals but crows benefit from them.D．Planning for the future helps their evolution.CA young Los Angeles actor in need of a second job to pay his bills has come up with abrilliant way to supplement his income—people walking.Chuck McCarthy originally considered becoming a dog walker to earn some extra cash，but soon realized that the job required more than walking dogs on a leash.However，walking people didn’t require much when they were out on walks.Chuck realized there was money to be made if he walked people around Los Angeles instead.It might sound like a joke，but The People Walker，as he calls himself，is very serious about his new job.For $7 per mile，he offers to walk with clients around L．A.，listening to their problems or simply making conversations and offering them a sense of security.At 6-feet,2-inches，and sporting a bulky figure and bushy beard，Chuck doesn’t look like the kind of guy you’d want to mess with.Chuck’s services are aimed at people who need a motivational boost to go walking，those who don’t feel sa fe walking alone in some areas，and those who are afraid that people might see them walking by themselves and think that they have no friends.“I wear my The People Walker shirt upon request and on the first walk with a new client，so they can be 100% sure it’s me，” McCarthy says.However，he admits some people are a bit uncomfortable with this policy，as they don’t necessarily want everyone to know that they’re being walked.So far，Chuck McCarthy has already had another five people walkers employed，covering various areas，like downtown L．A.，Hollywood，Eagle Rock，or Fairfax.Once he posted signs around the city，his phone started ringing and clients began rolling in.And with all the free publicity he has been getting in the press lately，more requests are coming.While he hopes that his acting career will pick up soon，in the meantime Chuck is very happy with his people walking business.After all，it’s literally a walk in the park and it pays the bills.8．What does the underlined word “supplement” in Paragraph 1 mean?A．Save. B．Increase.C．Change. D．Invest.9．Which service of The People Walker isn’t mentioned in the text?A．Cheering up the clients.B．Accompanying the clients.C．Buying the clients food.D．Offering a sense of security.10．Why do people prefer Chuck to walk without wearing the shirt?A．To keep the walk comfortable.B．To avoid being recognized.C．To attract more new friends.D．To keep themselves alone.11．What do we know about Chuck McCarthy from the text?A．He has lost confidence in his acting career.B．He hopes to find excitement in people walking.C．He has inspired other people to be more creative.D．He earns more as a people walker than as an actor.Ⅱ.七选五Every one complains.Even if you argue that you are the happiest person in the world you still complain sometimes.Sometimes you complain：without even realizing it，but rarely is it ever helpful. 12 Here are some tips to stop complaining and give up the negative thoughts：13When you find yourself thinking or saying a negative comment about something or someone，stop and force yourself to say something positive instead.Seek the help of a cheerful friend to change you when you complain and help you to see the positive aspect in the situation.Make a list of things we are grateful for.We often com plain about the things we don’t have without noticing those things we already have.Be grateful for what we have in our life because we are lucky simply for being ourselves. 14Learn to adapt to the changes.There are many things we can’t change.15 Always find the positive side of each situation regardless of however difficult the situation is.With parents’ and friends’ support，we can survive any life changes.Allow yourself to vent(发泄) your feelings every once in a while.Constantly ignored negative thoughts could add up.If you are really going through a rough time，don’t be afraid to share your feelings with a close friend or family members or see a therapist.Find what makes you happy.16 Maybe it is time to make the hard decision to move on to another job or career.Uncover what your biggest complaints are about and see if you can change the situation to make you happy.Choose happiness，focus on the positive sides and be kind always! A．Change the way you think.B．Make positive people friends.C．Sometimes this list can be easy full of hobbies you enjoy.D．Are you constantly complaining about your present job?E．The best and only thing we can do is to accept them.F．So how can you manage to force yourselves to end complaining?G．Set down things we ar e thankful for and we’ll see that we don’t have any reason to complain.答案解析Ⅰ.1．B[细节理解题。

高考英语七选五题型专练

高考英语七选五题型专练(一)To forgive may be wonderful, but no one ever said it was easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger.___1___ In??deed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Freder??ic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good.So how do you start the healing? Try following these steps: Calm yourself. Take a couple of breaths and think of some??thing that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love.Don’t wait for an apology. ___2___ Luskin says, “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean coming to terms with the person who upsets you or forgiving his or her action after your quarrel.___3___ Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. “Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.” Luskin says.___4___ If you attach great importance to that person, you mayrealize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear and even love. To gain others’ stand, you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.___5___ Research has shown that people who forgive make a good show of more energy, better appetite and better sleeping patterns.Don’t forget to forgive yourself. “For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge." Luskin says, “but it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.”A. Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing.B. Break away from the influence of your offender on you early.C. But forgiveness is possible —and it can be surprisingly helpful toyour physical and mental health.D. Try to see things from the other person’s stand.E. So it is difficult to forgive others and even yourself.F. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.G. Forgiveness is not good of people.(二)Why do some people have many friends while others do not? ___1___ However, it is not so. Let’s look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy interpersonal relations.The first experiment is called the “Hawthorne effect” afterHawthorne, Illinois(伊利诺斯[美国州名]), where the experiment took place. A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company. ____2_____. The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone. They were surprised to find that productivity increased on both occasions and in both groups. They concluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management. It had increased their motivation and so they had worked harder. In other words, if you take an interest in others, they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them.___3___. After Martin Luther King, Jr was killed in 1960s, a teacher, Jane Elliott, living in an all-white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America.She divided the class into two groups: one with blue eyes and other with brown eyes. Other eye colors such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise. Then she told the class that brown-eyed people were cleverer than blue-eyed ones because of an agent(化学作用) for brown color found in their blood. Blue-eyed people were stupid, lazy and not to be trusted. Jane Elliott did not need to say any more. The brown-eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class. The blue-eyed students became quiet and withdrawn. Then she discoveredsomething very interesting. Four poor brown-eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before. ___4___. So if you want to be successful and happy, take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates. Congratulate them on their success and sympathize with them in their troubles. ___5___.A. Before the experiment the management talked to both groups of workers and explained that they wanted to find the best working environment for them.B. Remember that the way you treat others will decide their attitude and behavior to you.C. The second experiment shows what happens to personal relations if you are rude to or ignore others.D. The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others.E. Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behavior but also their confidence and their performance.F. You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them.G. The second experiment tells us what teachers said had a great effect on the students.(三)Advertising Everywhere1Now that messages can go around the world at high speed，the world is becoming smaller and products can be sold everywhere．But it is true that the problems of international advertising—problems of language and culture—have become larger than ever．For example，Braniff Airlines wanted to advertise its fine seals，but when its advertisement was translated from English into Spanish，it told people that they could fly without wearing clothes!To avoid problems in translation，most advertisement firms are now writing completely new ads．In writing new ads，international advertisers must choose different methods of advertising for different countries．In some countries，an advertisement usually gives a description of the productand explains why it is better than others．2But in Japan，the message is based more on situations and feelings than on words．For this reason，many television advertisements broadcast in Japan show people at a party，picnic，or in some other pleasant situations．They willnot say that a product is better than others．Instead，the goal will be to create a good feeling aboutthe product3For instance，certain countries will not allow TV advertisements on Sundays，and others will not allow them for children’s products on any day．The world advertiser who doesnot understand such laws aud customs will soon have problems．Finally，there is the choice of what to advertise．4So the best advertisement in the world means nothing if the product is not suitable for the market．Comparing such as McDonald’s in Hawaii，you will find Chinese food provided on the menu．If you stop at a McDonald’s in Germany，you can order a beer with your meal．All of these products must be sold with the right kind of message5But no matter how difficult this job may be，it is very important for global advenrtisers to do it well．Knowing how to advertise in the world market can help companies for success．A．People around the world have different likes and dislikes．B．This is true in the United States，Britain，and GemanyC．They just show how the product is madeD．In the advertising industry，selling products is the most important goalE．International advertisers must also consider differences in laws and customsF．It can be explained by a word，a passage，or even a pictureG．It can never be an easy job for advertisers to create message(四)I was in Tokyo last spring, walking in the street and talking with my dear friend Kirsten. 1It turned out to be a group of four very hipJapanese college students playing their music instruments for anyone who would listen.2In the middle of the second song, an old homeless man broke through the crowd and started shouting at the band. The musicians did their best to ignore him but the man would not go away. It seemed he was angry about the loud noise.I remember there were probably two dozen people watching this. 3I was also helpless because first, I couldn’t speak much Japanese, and second, the homeless man was starting to get more and more violent. At one point, he picked up a stick and started banging on the drum set.This was more than the young drummer could take. He stopped playing, stood up and pushed the old man to the ground.4He knelt down next to the old man, took hold of his hands and asked him if he was alright. I couldn’t understand what was being said, but I will never forget the way this young man helped bring the fallen man to his feet. And I will never forget the way he carefully placed his arm around the old man’s shoulders and quietly walked him away.5Maybe this old man was a prince in disguise. And maybe he was waiting to see someone act, just once, with beauty and courage.A.I couldn’t help but wonder.B.All of them went away at once.C.Suddenly, we heard the sound of a jazz band.D.Everybody became angry with the old man.E.But no one knew what they could or should do.F.However, not everyone was enjoying the music.G.At that time, a young Japanese man went through the crowd quietly.(五)Sleep is something we all do. But some people need to sleep more than others. Babies sleep most of the time. Children in school sleep about ten to twelve hours a night. Most grown-ups sleep only seven or eight hours. 1All parts of our bodies have to rest after they work. Our arms need a rest after we lift heavy things. When we run fast, our legs work hard. They get tired. We have to rest them. Our brains work hard, too.2We can sit quite still and rest our arms and legs. But our brains aren’t resting. They go right on thinking as long as we are awake.Our brains slow down a bit when we sleep and dream.3Instead of thinking wide-awake thought, our brains make up dreams. Some dreams are very pleasing. Some are not. Most of the time we forget them when we wake up.Scientists have tried to find out what would happen if people were not allowed to sleep. They asked some people not to go to bed. The people stayed up all night and all the next day. They stayed up the nextnight, too and the day after. They played games. But they made mistakes. They forgot things. 4 . The people grew rude and mean. They became angry with their friends. Finally they were too tired to stand up. The moment they sat down, they fell asleep.Scientists found that if people are not allowed to sleep, they act in an unusual way.5But we do know that we need it to stay well.So tonight have a good sleep. Lie down under the covers. Shut your eyes. Let your thoughts travel about. Soon you’ll stop thinking. You’ll be asleep.A. But even as we sleep our brains are doing some work.B. It was hard for their tired brains to work.C. When we are awake, they help us pay attention to the world around us.D. No one knows quite surely why sleep is so good for us.E. Good sleep helps to improve one’s memory.F. But babies, children and grown-ups ----all of us need to have our sleep.(六)It seems that the Englishmen just cannot live without sports of some kind. 1Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children andgrown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it?Taking all amateur（业余）and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. 2 The game originated（起源于）in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or “association football”, it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.3 . It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British.4 . It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world.Table tennis, or “ping-pong, surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or Japan.5 . Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lotof people.A. A famous French humorist once said that this is because theEnglish insist on behaving like children all their lives.B. It is called soccer in the United StatesC. The next is rugby, which is called “football” in the United StatesD. Tennis rates high on the list, tooE. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularityF. people often work out to build up their bodies.G. not everyone likes ball games(七)1With the invention of the Internet several decades ago, do you feel that since then it has made us human beings feel more connected to the world and one another, or has it isolated（使孤立）us and made us feel more alone than ever before?What about you as an individual?● 2The Internet enables us to know what’s happening in the world. We couldn't imagine talking to people everywhere in the world twenty years ago.●3It unites us because we talk to others from all around our country and tha world, but the Internet can be addicting, and keep usaway from people for a while, There is an inherent (内在的) human need for direct human contact (e.g. touching, talking face to face, etc.) that the Internet has all taken away.● 4It has given me freedom beyond my imagination. I’m home-bound with many duties to attend to. My life is a bit too crowded. Duties duties duties. I get lost many times not knowing who I really am！This medium is my best friend. It just lets me BE！I can speak here without fear or favour.● 5Chatting online is completely different from hanging out with friends outside or hearing their voice over the phone．I find that it’s not just the Internet that has increased this sense of isolation，even iPods，MP3s，such devices kind of separate us，make us lose focus on the everyday happenings of life．A. I think that the Internet isolates as well as unites us.B. I believe it unites us more than it isolates us.C. Do you feel that the Internet unites us or isolates us?D. What is happening in the world today?E. The Internet is playing a more and more important role.F. I think it has isolated us more.G. I am truly grateful for this new technology.(八)Brain TransplantsResearch on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists in recent years.1If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists are doing is to make better use of the hard disc.The idea that a human brain could be transplanted (移植) may come from Frankenstein. In 2019, an experiment turned a bear into a dolphin (海豚).2They were made of the memory area in the dolphin’s brain containing information about swimming. They had a series of useful information, which was saved into a button – sized chip (芯片). Later the information was transplanted into the action memory area in the bear’s brain.3It proved to be a highly successful experiment and a bear was turned into a dolphin.Recently, another memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Rescarch Instance of the University of California. The experiment bad an entire transplant of the memory area.4The transplant was performed from a dog named Cenius to a dog named idiot. Cenius could follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. However, Idiot had no contact with people since its birth. It because an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.5When the two dogs woke up, Idiot had grasped all the abilities Cenius possessed; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But Ceniusgave no response to its master, and did not recognize him at all.A．The experiment was a complete success.B．It included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc.C．Then it was released (释放) by means of electric power.D．Different images have different meanings in the memory area.E．Using the most advanced technology, detailed images were produced.F．Discoveries show that messages are carried by the central nervous system in the brain.G．One of the latest topics is how to change the human brain or combine it with the computer.(九)(1) ______You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.(2)______ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good studyarea. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class. (3)______ Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. (4)_______ If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.(5)_______ You will probably discover them after you have tried these.A. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.B. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.C. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.D. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.E. Maybe you are an average student.F. Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.G. This will help you understand the next class.(十)1Frankly, I very much appreciate myself. Yes, I admit I’m in many respects(方面) not as good as other people, but I don’t think I’m always not good. When I find what I’ve done or written is okay, I’ll remain pleased with myself for quite a few days, and in case I receive praise for it, I’ll even become so excited as to add a few words to glorify(赞美) myself.True, I’m not modest at all. 2But I think otherwise.3I appreciate anything good. Isn’t it unfair to forget appreciating myself while appreciating others?We Chinese are generally inclined(倾向的) to be modest, and we take pride in being so. For example, a Chinese will call his own wife zhuojing, meaning “my humble wife”, and his own writings zhuozuo, meaning “my poor writings”. But if you should call his wife a “rustic(乡巴佬) woman” or his writings “trash”, he would , I’m sure, slap the table in a rage and declare he would make a clean break with you. 4I don’t think it’s wrong for you to freely praise yourself if you’rereally worthy of praise. As we know, there is an old Chinese saying disparaging(轻视的) a melon peddler, named Lao Wang, who keeps praising his own goods. Well, why can’t he praise his melons if they are really weet and juicy?Friends, Lao Wang sells melons for a living. How could he carry on business if he, by imitating the affections of us intellectuals(知识分子)，were to show false modesty about his melons? He would sure enough die of starvation.Self-appreciation is therefore key to professional dedication(贡献) and enjoyment of work.. 5Needless to say, the same is true of those who make a living with their pen.A. I also appreciate other people.B. On Self-controlC. On Self-AppreciationD. People may call me conceited(自负的).E. We need appreciate ourselves.F. One will lose confidence in continuing with writing when he ceases(停止) to admire his own essays.G. As a matter of fact, there is probably no differenc at all between what is said by him and you respectively(各别地).(十一)Being healthy means taking care of yourself physically andmentally. Here are some of my best tips on how to do both:Break a bad habit.You don’t really “break” habits. __1__. So if your problem is that you eat too much when you get home from work, find something new to do that is incompatible（不能共存的）with what you usually do. You can’t walk around the track at the school and pig out in your kitchen at the same time.Grow your marriage.2_. It’s always a give-and-take, always requires work. It’s as if you planted a garden and came back six months later─you wouldn’t even be able to find it. __3__.Beat stress.My dog, Maggie, is the best anti-stress tool I have. A few minutes petting, scratching or playing with her, and __4__. Exercise also helps. Just about every day, I’m on the tennis court. It’s a great workout, and if I don’t have that, I don’t cope as well, sleep as well or think as well.Refocus your anger.Expressing your anger is just not that good an idea. You say things you don’t mean. __5__. When you do that, you’re a problem solver.Don’t medicate(掺入药) with food.It never, ever works. You’re denying your issue by eating your way through it, instead of saying, “Hey, I’ve got a problem.”A.You replace the unwanted behavior with something that preventsyou from doing it and that doesn’t have unhealthy side effects.B.I’ll feel easy.C.If there is a problem, you needn’t deal with it immediately.D.You have to tend it, feed it, weed it, and deal with the problems.E.Instead, recognize that anger is usually a symptom of hurt, fear or frustration, and deal with the causes rather than blow up.F.Relationships are negotiated（协商）, and the negotiation never stops.G.You do something without any good effect on your health during the time when you usually do something harmful to your body.(十二)Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: "How do I get a good job?" 1.There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and find the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in-person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decisionof their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. 2. He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the young man offered to take his place. 3.4 . If the young man had gone home to ponder（考虑）his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to get plum jobs（美差）. When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. 5. And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.A．This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.B．People find jobs in an limitless number of ways.C．It's almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers.D．Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.E．But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewerall the company's faults.F．He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.G．It is very important to seize an opportunity when you are given one.(十三)McDonald's Corporation （NYSE: MCD）is the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants, serving nearly 47 million customers daily．______1____Brands （KFC, Taco Bell and others）and sandwich chain Subway．In addition to its signature restaurant chain, McDonald’s Corporation held a minority interest in Pret A Manger until 2019, and owned the Chipotle Mexican Grill until 2019 and the restaurant chain Boston Market until 2019．______2___The corporations' revenues come from the rent, royalties and fees paid by the franchisees, as well as sales in company-operated restaurants．____3_____In response to obesity trends in western nations and in the face of criticism over the healthiness of its products, the company has modified its menu to include such healthier alternatives as salads, wraps and fruit．The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California．Their introduction of the "Speedee Service System" in 1948 established the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant．The original mascot of McDonald's was a man with a chef's hat on top of a hamburger shaped head whose name was "Speedee．" Speedee was eventually replaced with Ronald McDonald in 1963．The first McDonald's restaurants opened in the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, France, El Salvador and Sweden in order of openings．The present corporation dates its founding to the opening of a franchised restaurant by Ray Kroc, in Des Plaines, Illinois on April 15, 1955, the ninth McDonald's restaurant overall．___4____Kroc was also noted for aggressive business practices, compelling the McDonald brothers to leave the fast food industry．The McDonald brothers and Kroc feuded over control of the business, as documented in both Kroc's autobiography and in the McDonald brothers' autobiography．_____5____A．McDonald's primarily sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken products, french fries, breakfast items, soft drinks, milkshakesand desserts．B．The site of the McDonald brothers' original restaurant is now a monument．C．At one time it was the largest global restaurant chain, but it has since beensurpassed by multi-brand operator Yum!D．Each McDonald's restaurant is operated by a franchisee, an affiliate, or the corporation itself．E．The company has also expanded the McDonald's menu in recent decades to include alternative meal options。

2020年高考英语复习：七选五阅读专项练习题10篇(含答案)

2020年高考英语复习：七选五阅读专项练习题10篇AIn the middle of the Pacific Ocean lies the tiny island nation of Tuvalu，the fourth smallest country in the world. This group of four islands and five atolls (islands made from coral) is famous for its sandy beaches and turquoise (蓝绿色的) waters and has long been a popular tourist destination for nearby New Zealanders. However, the nation of Tuvalu is at risk of soon no longer existing; not because of war or political change, but because it will be covered by the rising ocean.Tuvalu is experiencing the harmful effects of global warming. As global temperatures rise, so does the ocean temperature. Due to the scientific law of “thermal expansion,” when water heats it get bigger. 1．Most experts claim that the effects of climate change will make Tuvalu uninhabitable within the next 50 years. Problems are already emerging. As sea levels rise, ocean water containing high levels of salt is travelling further and further inland destroying the little amount of soil Tuvaluans have to grow crops.Even before Tuvaluans began to suffer from the effects of climate change, lift on Tuvalu was tough. 2．Most of the land on an atoll is rock-hard arid any soil that exists on it is usually thin and poor for growing crops. The nation has always had to import food apart from fish.More serious than Tuvalu’s lack of home-grown food has been its lack of drinking water.3．Therefore, Tuvaluans depend almost entirely on rainwater for their water needs. Unfortunately, due to a geographical phenomenon known as La Nina, Tuvalu often suffers from long periods of drought. In autumn 2010, after seven months of no rain, the Prime Minister had to declare a state of emergency riot only because of a lack of drinking water, but also because the water left was polluted with cholera (霍乱) 4．_____ Tuvalu’s problems have led some of its 11, 000 inhabitants to consider migrating to Australia or New Zealand.5．They know they’ll have to someday, but for as long as possible, they want to remain and make the world aware of what is happening to their homeland due to chimate change.BNewton's law of motion, where every action has a reaction, is appropriate not just to physics. 6．from the value of products and prices of produces to customer choices, advertising affects society and plays an important role in increasing business sales.7．When companies use advertising, sales increase, according to Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet, founder of a French advertising company. The increase in business sales also promotes the quality of life for consumers. Basically, advertising causes a chain reaction that increases the economy of the area where the product or service ad is.8．In the minds of consumers, advertising can add value to a product. The image or brand that advertising helps to create becomes a part of the product, which is what makes one product brand more valuable than the competitors. This is why a consumer may be willing to pay a higher price for a name brand product rather than buy a brand they are not familiar with at a lower cost.Pricing. 9．It spurs （促进）a sense of competition. When one company advertises a product for its price, its competitors want to stay competitive. Then they may lower their prices to meet the competition.Consumer choice. Advertising also has an influence on businesses because it leads to the creation of new products and improvement of existing products to meet consumers' needs. 10．However, when advertising introduces a new product that is better than the existing one. market share can quickly shift to the company offering the newly-advertised product.CPut on new set of gasses for a new viewToday I visited San Francisco’s modern-art museum. I was there to see a new exhibit about spaceflight.11．I like to “visit” this particular painting every time I go to the museum not only because it evokes（唤起）strong feelings, but because I always find something new.There's real pleasure to be found in revisiting a museum replaying a game or rewatching a movie. Some of that enjoyment comes from the feeling of familiarity of course.12．.There’s always plenty more to see, hear, taste, smell, feel, of understand the second or third time around. But how do you discover the exciting new thing in the familiar?One way is approaching whatever task is at hand by searching for the things that you didn't see in the first time around. First, recognize that everything is always changing.13．Second, remove judgment from the experience, if possible, and just observe what's new. For example, look for the ways in which a change in your neighborhood is interesting or exciting.14．That could mean removing sugar, coffee, a certain kind of media from your life for a specified time. Once the break is over, that same thing will have more of its former interest or excitement.15．So is true that novelty is fun, but given enough of a break in between, repeated experiences regain that initial excitement.DThings to Keep Your Brain Sharp and Healthy Later in LifeThese behaviors and activities are proven to help keep your brain young.Keep learning new things.Learning new information and skills throughout your entire life helps to keep your brain strong even in the later years of life. Activities that have the highest value for brain health are novel and complex to each particular person. What is easy for one person may be challenging for another. 16．Exercise regularly.Exercise can improve our energy levels, sense of well-being, sleep, and brain health. 17．Identifying why we do not exercise permits us to systematically break down our barriers, and to slowly change our behaviors towards a healthy lifestyle.Socialize and have fun!Friends provide opportunities to enable the sharing of experiences, new learning, challenge, emotions, trust, and understanding. Friendship also provides the necessary motivation towards activity and involvement. Engagingin new pursuits with friends often helps develop new life roles, which provide us with an opportunity to feel appreciated, enjoy life, laugh, and have fun. 18．Be health conscious.It is important for us to take control of our health and understand that we are in charge of managing of our bodies. 19．Once we establish our own role in the management of our health, the importance of a close and trusting relationship with our physician becomes apparent.Slow down and appreciate the silence.20．Our brains require time to process information more deeply, in order to gain more benefit from our daily experiences. A fast-paced lifestyle can cause chronic stress and have other negative effects on our health and well-being. Reducing demands we place on ourselves is an important step towards stress reduction, and a more fulfilling life.Studies have shown a relationship between spirituality and the immune system. As we continually learn more about the potential of positive thoughts to influence health, people are beginning to integrate these practices more frequently into their daily lives, and experiencing life-changing results.ESchool phobia is a type of illness which causes the students, typically between the ages of 8-13, to be afraid to go to school. Symptoms include stomach aches, tiredness, shaking, a racing heart and frequent trips to the toilet.21．Most commonly it is the result of separation anxiety, but it can also be caused by different kinds of stress. A child who has recently moved, suffered a loss, or gone through a divorce may develop school phobia, and phobias can also develop in response to bullying, an unrecognized learning disability, and poor self-image.22．Many techniques can be used to manage school phobia. But research suggests that much more effective treatment is required for school phobia to prevent problems developing in later life. Children with this condition usually benefit from seeing a psychologist or doctor who can help the child and provide assistance to help parents and school officials support the child. As soon as school phobia is identified, parents should take action too.23．, and it can prevent the child from succeeding in school.24．If bullying in school is a cause, for example, the bullying situation should be solved. A teacher can meet the child at the door and take him or her to class, and provide support so that the child feels a friendly adult is always available. Changes at home can include supportive language from parents, along with support like assistance with homework. If a child lacks confidence, parents may encourage the child to take up new hobbies. 25．Parents might also talk to their children about their own fears of school and how they got over them, and their own enjoyment of school and school-like activities.FFinancial Education-Awareness DilemmaWhen it comes to financial education, the majority of today's youth will regard it as a necessity for certain specific people who want to make their career in the financial world. 26．Actually, elementary financial education is a must for all, as money transaction is an essential part of our day-to-day life.Suppose you have $100 in a saving account that pays simple interest at the rate of 2% per year. lf you leave the money in the account, how much will you have accumulated after 5 years: more than $102, exactly $102,or less than $102? The test might look simple, but only half of the people surveyed gave the correct answer.27．The explanation goes as follows: People with low levels of financial literacy suffer from that lack of knowledge at every stage of their lives. Researchers on this subject say people with a high degreeof financial literacy are more likely to plan for their retirement. 28．On the contrary, people who have a lower degree of financial literacy tend to borrow more, accumulate less wealth, and pay more in fees related financial products. They are less likely to invest, more likely to experience difficulty with debt, and less likely to know the terms of their mortgages and other loans. Thus, the cost of this financial ignorance is very high. 29．What is the solution? 30．Like reading and math, financial education must become part of the core curriculum in our schools. Likewise, parents should engage in regular, constructive conversations about money matters. This will give their kids a solid foundation for financial well-being, whichwill keep on giving returns throughout the course of their lives.GFew things feel as painful as rejection. Rejection means not being invited to a friend's party. Rejection means having your actions criticized. Rejection means failure when you're trying to sell your idea. Every "no" indicates a door closed to you. 31．Developing your self-confidence is key. Rejection is simply the reaction or opinion of another person. 32．Never think you are worthless or unlovable. What you should do is make a list of things you have done well or contributions you have made. Review them every day. Fill your nighttime and early morning brain with confidence.Rejection will enhance whatever negative things you say to yourself. Even the most successful and confident people feel downhearted when rejected, but most of them never tell themselves how terrible they are. 33．Make sure what you say to yourself builds yourself up instead of tearing yourself down.34．Instead, they view it as an opportunity to further understand human relationships and inner strength. They avoid the pain of rejection and put rejection into context. Using rejection to your advantage involves looking on every blow as a learning experience. It also involves learning and growing from negative voice.35．You can feel the pain as you like, crying or locking yourself in, but don't let it become a long-term visitor. It is wise for you to respond positively and effectively.HAs is often the case, when we wake up feeling sleepy and with dark circles under eyes, many of us often make a decision: “I’m going to bed earlier tomorrow!” we are so determined. 36．We are still absorbed in what we are doing without realizing it is already too late the next day. This behavior is called “bedtime procrastination” (睡眠拖延症), and results from lack of self-control and our body clock.37．According to a study carried out by a group of health psychologists, 53 percent of the 2,400 participants said they didn’t follow their sleep schedule, delaying it at least twice a week. They delayed bedtime because they couldn’t stop doing other trivial things (琐事), which were keeping them up in the first place.People who generally have trouble resisting temptations and following their intentions firmly are also more likely to delay going to bed. They find it hard to control themselves. 38．Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bedtime. Those who get up late are more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning. Night owls would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. 39．Therefore, if we want to cure our bedtime procrastination, the intention to go to bed earlier is not enough. 40．We should have a clear understanding that bedtime procrastination is a big problem. The choices we make could turn out to be pretty important for our health.IJohannes Gutenberg-The pioneer of the printing pressJohannes Gutenberg was chosen to be the most important figure of the past millennium by the media. You may not be familiar with him. 41．Gutenberg is praised for having invented the printing press and therefore preparing the way for printing books.He was born into a wealthy family in the city of Mainz, Germany. His early training was in goldsmithing. In 1428，he moved to Strasbourg and lived there for almost 20 years.42．Gutenberg used his skills in metalwork for the mass production of books.43．That means that each copy of the Catholic bible and all of its 73 books were painstakingly handwritten by 10 penmen. Gutenberg fashioned a font（K）of over 300 characters, far larger than the fonts of today. To make this possible, Heinvented the variable-width mode and perfected the mixture of materials used by type factories up to the present century.44．Between 1450 and 1455，while preparing to produce a large Latin bible, Gutenberg thought to have printed a number of smaller books, a Calendar and a paper Letter of Indulgence The Bible or 42 lines, the oldest surviving printed book in the Western world, was completed by August 15,1456.The discovery of the modern printing press changed the way information was delivered45．Even today in the computer age, we rely heavily on the printed word or text for instruction, information and for the pleasure of reading literature.JThis summer, when earthquakes rocked Southern California on back-to-back days, it was a close-to-home reminder that we may one day experience the “Big One,” a quake with the power to kill and destroy. A few people, however, saw something else: a photo opportunity. Tourists poured to a large crack in a highway to see evidence of the damage for themselves and, of course, take a quick selfie.46．It feeds so many of the weakest parts of ourselves: our born attraction to images of human faces instead of landscapes or objects, our interest in capturing memories, and yes, our need for social approval. Yet, it is easy to feel uncomfortable with selfies and even laugh at them, especially when they are risky or in bad taste. So why do we take selfies?Selfies have become so common that my grandma does them when we get together. 47．Instead, selfies are a way for us to connect and communicate, and feel a more personal connection with people all around the world.In one example, researchers developed a #ScientistsWhoSelfie campaign studying how scientists posting photos of themselves with their work on social media influenced public opinion of the profession. 48．“Those scientists in general were described as warmer, but no less competent,” said Paige Jarreau, the lead author on the study.While some scientists refused at first, fearing that their colleagues would consider them self-centered or thinkthey take their work less seriously, those concerns disappeared once researchers explained that it could help build public trust. “This is not just me taking a duck-faced (嘟嘟嘴) selfie or trying to look cute on camera,” said Dr Jarreau. “This is me being able to better tell the story about my science in a way that helps people trust me.”49．Dr Jarreau recalled a road trip she made to national parks, where she witnessed so many people taking selfies, she began taking photos of the selfie-takers themselves. “Ask yourself: Why are you posting that picture?” she said. “If there was a platform that didn’t enable likes, would you post it?” After all, there are other ways to develop a social connection. You could send the photo to a private group. You could put it in a frame at home. You could be mindful in the moment by not taking it at all. 50．参考答案A篇：1．E2．B3．C4．A5．FB篇：6．G7．C8．A9．D10．FC篇：11．D12．E13．F14．G15．CD篇：16．C17．A18．E19．D20．GE篇：21．D22．G23．E24．C25．A F篇：26．B27．D28．F29．G30．AG篇：31．E32．B33．C34．G35．D H篇：36．D37．A38．C39．E40．F I篇：41．F42．D43．B44．G45．A J篇：46．B47．D48．G49．E50．A。

1It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don't understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways, that they are too serious and too strict with their children, and that they seldom give their children a free hand.It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children's trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young.For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to showthat they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older people's world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That's why young people want to make a new culture of their own, and if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their ways of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say“yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents' control.If you plan to control your life, you'd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________2.Spending time together is very important for a family. Parents can use this time to really get to know their children, and children love spending time together with their parents.Whether it is breakfast, lunch or dinner, families can always come together at the table. Meal time can feed more than just the baby alone. Family relations can be promoted as well. Eating breakfast together is a great way to start the day. Eatingdinner together every night allows families to share the happenings of the day and plan for tomorrow.Everyone loves a good movie. Break out a bowl of popcorn and gather on the couch together for a family movie night once a week. After a week or two, family members begin to really look forward to this relaxing and quiet family time.Pack up your tent and head for the hills. Going camping is a great way for family members to have some of that special time together, and a great way to have a holiday too!Games are fun for both kids and adults. There are so many games to choose from! This is a wonderful way to bring family members together as games make family time so fun!Gather your family together for a story. Kids just love bedtime stories. This allows parents to spend a bit of time with their kids, too. Children will fall asleep much easier after having a story read to them. This little bit of family time is beneficial in a lot of ways.Enjoy your family time and have fun with it. You'll remember the special time for the rest of your lives.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________3.A well-developed class website can save teachers a lot of time in the long run, improving both student-teacher and parent-teacher communication while providing a place to store all classroom documents for future use. Although some extra time during the school year is required, once the site is up it needs just minor adjustments each new year. Have a question? Get an answer from online technology support now.Decide which type of software you will use to create a class website. Microsoft has many applications that can be used to create websites, such as Publisher and Expression Web. Some Web hosting sites also have simple editing tools you can use instead of a formal program.Find a place to host your class website. Your Internet provider often provides some small space for a personal website for free, and many other free website hosting companies are on the Internet.Consider using a template(模版)for your first attempt at website design. Most templates also come with a selection of colour and graphics already in place so you can concentrate on content instead of design. It will contain basic sections with your specific class information.Add content to your website. You need to have announcement sections for both parents and students, a syllabus or class rules area, homework assignments or a calendar, and maybe a links section for learning more about in-class topics and playing educational games.Decorate your website with graphics, clip art, background, cool fonts(字体)and other decorative items. It's best to find a theme you like and make your design elements all match your theme. Remember to keep it simple since too many colours and pictures make a site look busy and weaken its usability.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____4.We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don't do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.So, you have to give a speech and you're terrified. You get nervous, forget whatyou want to say, stumble (结巴)over words, talk too long and bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank goodness, it's over. I'm just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheer up! It doesn't have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible and use pictures, charts and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don't talk over their heads and don't talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you'll see that you don't have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! If you're not convinced yet, give it a try and see what happens.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____5.You're sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns (打哈欠). Suddenly, you're yawning with him, though you're not tired.This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize(同情) with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagious(有传染性的) yawning, which showed that humans communicate regularly without words.Hugo D．Critchley, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley, our mind and body are in constant exchange about how we're feeling. “Emotions are closely linked with states of internal (体内的) responses，”he explained. “There are also more visible changes in our gestures and facial expressions. When we're in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, there's the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are lessobvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure.Hugo D．Critchley further explained, “Our bodies synchronize(同步) and when we like the other person, we ever copy his behaviour. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you're sitting—it's pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe it's our way of telling each other that we're partners. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle but clear signals that show emotions.”So, what lessons can we learn from this? “Spend time with happy people—otherwise your health could suffer，”said Critchley. “When we're sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we're happy, our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel healthy and it affects everyone around us.”________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________6.Baseball is a great game, one that is played and enjoyed by tens of millions of people. Many of those who enjoy the game grow up playing baseball and watching baseball games. Few get good enough to be a great player, but everyone can, with practice, become a better player.How can you develop your baseball skills? The answer is simple: play. The more you play, the more you'll learn about the game. You'll develop baseball instincts(直觉)—you'll know what to do without even thinking about it. Your skills will get better and better. And whether or not you become a great player, you will likely develop a deep love for the game of baseball that you can share with your friends and family. Many adults' most wonderful memories are of playing baseball when they were kids.Hitting practice is the time to experiment. First, try out different kinds of bats(球棒)—heavy bats, light bats, long bats, short bats, wooden bats, and metal bats. You don't necessarily have to buy yourself a new bat to try it out. Borrow a bat from a friend, or buy a cheap used bat at a second-hand store.Then try different ways to stand. Watch your favourite player's stance(站立姿势). Try out some of the advice a coach or a friend has given you. Find out what feels the most comfortable. As long as you can see the ball well and keep your eye on the ball, then your stance is fine. You may find a better stance someday, but for now, gowith what feels the best.Most importantly, work on hitting the ball. Don't worry about how hard you hit it. Just practise hitting the ball with every swing. After all this hitting practice, you'll find your hitting gets better and better. Your body will know exactly what to do. In the end, without even trying, you'll start hitting the ball harder.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ _______7.Online schools are becoming very popular today. Whether it is working professionals who cannot afford the time to go to a full-time college because of their huge workload or stay-at-home mums who have many duties and cannot join in a college, online schools are much enjoyed at all. And now, even regular students, who have the time to go to college, are going in for online education, as it leaves them with enough time to pursue(追求) other things, such as a part-time job or a hobby, along with studying. However, as with everything, there are both advantages and disadvantages of online schooling.Let's start with the positives. These schools cost much less. You don't have to spend money on buying books or bus fees. Another advantage is the flexibility it provides. You can study at any time during the day. You can study wherever you want—in your house, at a café or even in a park.Move on to the disadvantages of online schooling. Those students who always need a push from their teachers to do well, are very likely not to do well in online schools. And the greatest disadvantage of going to school online is that there are many employers who prefer students with a traditional degree to those who have an online degree. The employers feel that students who go to full-time colleges are more knowledgeable compared to those who have online degrees. Since the very purpose of education is to land a person a good job, online degrees, many a time, do not serve this purpose.No doubt that online schools offer the freedom which no regular college can provide. However, how much the employers will value the degrees and whether a student can actually make his own study schedule and most importantly, stick to it, depend upon individuals( 个人). So in the end, it can be rightly said, online schools are good for some, while others should give them a skip.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________8.Christmas, which falls on Dec. 25 every year, is the most important festival in the West.During Christmas, a big fat man in a red suit usually takes centre stage. His name is Santa Claus.He lives in the North Pole and sends presents to children in a magic sled that is pulled by flying reindeer.It sounds crazy, but Santa Claus is very popular. Small children around the world even leave food out for Santa and his reindeer on the night before Christmas. When they wake up in the morning, some of the food is eaten and there are presents under the Christmas tree.As you grow older you learn that Santa is not real and it is in fact just your parents. I was about 7 or 8 years old when I figured it out myself. But that doesn't stop people celebrating Christmas in the same way.So where did Santa Claus come from? Santa was actually a real man called Saint Nicholas, which sounds very similar to Santa Claus. He was born about 2，000 years ago in the Roman Empire. He was a very kind priest(神父) who would travel the country to help people, giving gifts late at night. He did not like to be seen giving gifts, so children were encouraged to go to sleep quickly. Nothing has changed today, with Santa Claus not visiting until all the children are asleep.The United States' version (版本) of Santa Claus was started when Dutch settlers arrived about 400 years ago. They called him Sinterklaas and that was slowly changed to Santa Claus over the years. Once big companies like Coca Cola began to use Santa Claus in their advertisements, he quickly became a symbol of Christmas.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________9.Over the past few years, there has been a big increase in the number of people sharing information online. In this article, we will learn about some positive factors for people to share information online.We often share information with our friends in the office or at home to educate, entertain or pleasantly surprise them. In this way, we can connect with others. This is also true while sharing information online. If you look at the Facebook wall posts of your friends, you will realize that most of their updates are usually famous quotes, entertaining videos, inspirational images, funny jokes, etc. Ninety-four per cent of those who responded to a survey by The New York Times said they put a lot of thought into how the content they are sharing will be beneficial to others.A lot of people share information online to portray their true self to the outside world. Some people, especially those who are shy and not comfortable talking about their areas of interest in the presence of others, find it extremely convenient to share that information online with like-minded individuals.Seventy-eight per cent of the respondents in the study of The New York Times said they shared information online because it helps them develop better relationships. Today, a lot of people do not have the time to meet each other in person, and the Internet has become a great substitute. A lot of people now “meet” each other online, rather than in conventional places like restaurants and pubs.Lastly, when we share our thoughts online, we are actively engaging with thevast community of people who are a part of the World Wide Web. Sharing information will make a difference to the viewpoint of others, or add to their understanding about the world.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________10.Getting up early has been regarded as a good habit since ancient times. Many years ago, people thought that if we went to bed early and got up early, we would be energetic the whole day. So, getting up early is of great importance to us all.In fact, morning is the best time of a day. In the morning, the air is the freshest and people are usually in the best condition. Many of us may have the experiences that we memorize some things more quickly and correctly in the morning than at any other time of the day. And it is certain that we find it easier to understand what we learn in the morning. If we get up early and do some morning exercise or only take a short walk in the morning, without doubt we can build up our bodies and become much healthier. Also we will have enough time to make a plan and get ready for our work or study of the day if we get up early. For example, if everyone in the familygets up early, wives will have enough time to prepare the breakfast for the whole family; children will have enough time to catch the school bus, and husbands will never forget to change their dirty shirt. Everything will be in order. However, if we get up late, we'll probably have to do everything in a hurry.Let us remember getting up early is a good habit and try our best to keep it. Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit of getting up early. They have to make an effort to do so. If we stick to getting up early every day, we will certainly benefit a lot from it.________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____答案：1One possible version:Many children and parents can't get along.

Understanding wha t drives perfectionism is the first step toward releasing this self-created anchor that keeps us stuck.Shame and fear are often the hidden drivers of perfectionism.We believe that if we can fashion a perfectly polished personality，flash our intelligence，and perfect our humour，then no one can hurt us with criticism and we’ll win respect and approval.2 Politicians who display a desperate need to be right and refuse to acknowledge mistakes or uncertainty are often driven by a secret shame.They fear that showing vulnerability(弱点) will expose them to the accusation that they’re weak.They stick to a desire to be right，perfect，and polished，even when it’s obvious that the emperor has no clothes.Perfectionism keeps us leaning toward the future.We’re constantly evaluating ourselves in order to do better. 3 However，if we can’t relax and enjoy lighter moments，then we become prisoners of our perfectionism.We get painfully self-conscious and take ourselves too seriously.Sadly，we deprive(剥夺) ourselves of the simple pleasure of enjoying the moment and being ourselves.4 We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn’t mean that we are a failure.Without failures，we’ll never learn from our mistakes；we’ll never move forward in our lives.Those who succeed have made countless mistakes.The important thing is to learn from our error，forgive ourselves and move on.Being human，perfection is impossible. 5 Releasing ourselves from the desire to protect our image，we’re freed to sail gracefully through our successes and f ailures—and enjoy our precious life.A．Do you hold an idealized vision that is impossible to realize?B．A cure to perfectionism is to make room for our human shortcomings.C．Do you fear that others will be horrified by what you judge about yourself?D．The addiction to staying perfect protects us from any sign of being imperfect.E．There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do our best and self-correcting along the way.F．People who are addicted to perfection are often isolated，even if they seem outgoing and popular.G．By accepting ourselves as we are and doing our best，we begin to rid the shame that drives perfectionism.【答案】 1.A 2.D 3.E 4.B 5.G【解析】这是一篇说明文。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

On December 22, 2016 I landed in the land of the “American Dream.” ①__________Here is one of the things I’ve struggled with during my almost one year in the States.②__________My uncle and aunt joked that I brought rain from Saigon to America. Saigon, where I come from, is the old name of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. Vietnam is a tropical country where it rains most of the year. Before going to the U.S., actually, I had no idea what to expect about its weather, but the big rain on my arrival gave me the first expectation of what the weather here might be like.California is known for having a great climate — more sunshine, cooler in summer and warmer in winter. ③__________However, having been here for a pretty long while now, I have experienced various forms of climate in California.④__________Most of the time I was living in Silicon Valley, where the weather is a bit colder than where I study in Orange County. But I was really surprised to find chill-to-the-bone weather in San Francisco —a big shift from Silicon Valley in only about an hour’s drive. How strange!⑤__________The worst is that I get n runny nose whenever I wake up in the morning. Because I am allergic to the cold and windy weathers, I keep sneezing badly, and even more badly if I get caught in the cold. I think that my body needs more time to get used to this climate, but as many people said, I am luckier to be in California where I d on’t have to fight with extreme weathers as in other stales.A. I am sensitive to weather change.B. Such strange weather has affected my health.C. So the amount of rain this year is considered unusual.D. LAX airport in California welcomed me with a big rain.E. So I quickly get used lo the unchangeable climate in California.F. The weather varies widely depending on where you are in the state.G. Since then, I have discovered tons of dilemmas about life in America.2、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。
