阅读强化练(十七)(限时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解AUrban Transportation in CanadaPublic transportation & Transit passesAll cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation(bus, subway, train, etc. ). The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow your unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period(one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.Transportation for people with disabilitiesPublic transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.Etiquette on public transportationWhen taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note:♦Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain anappropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.♦If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.♦Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.♦Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.【文章大意】本文是一篇应用文, 主要介绍加拿大的城市交通情况。

When can you visit the National Geographic Museum?A. At 8：00 am, Friday.B. At 7：00 pm, Monday.C. At 2：00 pm, Christmas.D. At ll：30 am, Sunday.2.

Go to M Street building in person.D. Book them in advance at ngtickets@ ngs. org.BThe summer before my 10th birthday my father moved our family of nine kids to a farm. We had always lived in a small city，in the house my dad had gotten from my grandparents» who had wanted fresh air, green food and lots of room for their children but failed. My father held the same will. He'd worked multiple jobs and saved for many years... and could finally afford a place in the countryside. Now a minor concern：the house had no running water or electricity. But there were 150 acres to run around in!That first year my dad put in electricity, because my mom simply announced, "I won't have oil lamps with children running around!" Indoor plumbing （管道系统）had to wait another year. Different friends, who my dad knew from work, asked if he'd take their large dogs who couldn't run free in the city. So we all now played with a big orange- brown boxer and a sporty German Shorthaired Pointer, who we named Billy and Molly.Minimalism was our goal, and also our only choice. Absolutely our clothes were hand-me-downs. Bananas and oranges were rare "imported" fruit we'd seen at holidays. We felt we were younger than peers （同龄人）--- there was ONE birthday party a year! We'd take turns... once every 9 years a child would have his/her own party!While money was so scarce, we had joy to hand all the time. My mother was always singing, yelling, or hugging. And she told us we owned plenty! To this day, each of us remembers those years as an abundance of things, laughter, arguing, making peace, and playing together! Every challenge was a game to defeat, and any failure was a chance to learn there.4. Why did the author's father move their family to a farm?A. To carry out the wish of his parents.B. To start a brand new life in a luxury house.C. To improve the children's living environment.D. To get rid of the heavy workload in the city.5. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A. There was no electricity in their rooms.B. Two dogs became part of the author's life.C. The author's mother had a sharp tongue.D. Their rural life became the envy of friends.6. What is the author's tone in paragraph 3?A. Hopeful.B. Upset.C. Amazed.D. Amusing.7. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “scarce" in the last paragraph?A, Practical. B. Accurate. C. Tight. D. Essential.CThink of the many different ways you enjoy fish or other seafood ：steaming fish ball soup» grilled salmon, boiled shrimp and more. Now think about not having this delicious food because of no more fish and seafood. You would likely miss them a lot, and not just you. Nearly half of the world's population relies on seafood as a major source of protein.Harvesting fish and other sea life isn't bad for the ocean, but harvesting it faster than it can recover is. This is called overfishing, and the number of overfished wild stocks has tripled in the past 50 years. Overfishing affects not only a food source but many economies. Many businesses and jobs depend on fishing for their livelihoods. When fish stocks shrink, people lose their means of supporting themselves and their families. Worldwide, fishing is a US $ 362 billion business. Over 4 million fishing boats sail the waters of the world. Many boats are becoming increasingly efficient, which increases overfishing.According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN，one third of the world's fisheries are being pushed beyond their natural limits. Overfishing goes hand in hand with bycatch (误捕的鱼).This means unwanted sea life is captured along with the desired catch and is thrown away. Thus, billions of fish along with seabirds, sea turtles and millions of sharks are lost.The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has been working with scientists, fisheries and seafood producers for over 20 years. They have developed standards promoting sustainable fishing. When fisheries meet MSC's standards, the oceans and those who make a living from them are protected. Around 15 percent of wild-capture fisheries are now MSC certified. And Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPS) in many countries are working to increase that percentage.What can you do? Look for MSC's blue fish label, which appears on over 30, 000 products and menus in almost 100 countries. Buying a product with this label means you're supporting a fishery that is contributing to healthier oceans.8. Which of the following opinions will the author favor?A. We need to develop more fish recipes.B. Many people consider seafood as nutritious.C. You can never eat fish and other seafood too much.D. It's great to treat your friends to tasty seafood.9. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?A. Many people live by fishing.B. Overfishing isn't always bad for the ocean.C. Fishing economies are picking up soon.D. Many boats have no fish to catch.10. What measure has been taken concerning overfishing?A. Bycatch is thrown back.B. More investment is put in fisheries.C. All the countries are called on to conserve the ocean.D. Some requirements for green fishing are made.11. What's the author's suggestion for readers?A. Buying the seafood with MSC's certification.B. Looking for MSC's blue fish label worldwide.C. Making contributions to fishing in eco-friendly environment.D. Predicting about the oceans and the fish for years to come.DOne of my favorite studies asked one group of students to write about their “true self”. Another group of students wa s asked to write about their "everyday self” and a third group of students was asked to write about the campus bookstore. After the writing task, the students were then asked to rate their meaning in life.The researchers were interested in how much detail the participants provided in their various essays, their assumption being that the more detailed description one provides about one's true self, the more likely one authentically （真实地）connects with that sense of self. Not surprisingly, for those writing about their everyday self or about the campus bookstore, the amount of detail didn't have any connection with their sense of purpose in life. However, when people wrote about their true selves, the more detailed the essay, the more the person experienced meaning in life.To live a meaningful life, then, make sure you are in touch with yourself. If you don't follow your own values and dreams, you are most probably following values set by others. And there is nothing more disappointing in life than living someone else's dream. As some wisecracker has put it, it is better to be yourself, as everyone else is already taken.Meaningfulness is about connection. While this means that a major part of the meaningfulness in one's life comes from connecting with others through intimate, caring relationships and through being able to contribute to society and those one cares about, you cannot connect with others unless you are first in touch with yourself. Otherwise it is not you who is connecting to others but just an empty shell. Only by knowing what you are can you start to authentically connect with others.So, set out to write about your true self and who you believe you really are as a person, what are your most important values, and what you yourself would like to pursue and have in life. Then figure out how you could make that true self more the self that is realized in your everyday life and work.12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The process of a study.B. The meaning in life.C. Three groups of students.D. Writing tasks to evaluate life.13. What's the finding of the researchers?A. Everyday self has connection with the campus bookstore.B. More various essays interpret life meaning better.C. The participants with detailed essays live meaningfully.D. More true self description makes one experience life meaning better.14, What can make you genuinely connect with others?A. Following values and dreams set by others.B. Communicating with your true self.C. Changing "everyday self" into "true self".D. Being able to contribute to society.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Connect with Life - Dream Is ValuedB. Why Not Pursue Goals You Find Useful?C. Be Yourself —Everyone Else Is TakenD. Why Not Build Caring Relationships with Yourself?1-5 DCACB 6-10 DCBAD 11-15 AADBC第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

2021届全国新高考英语考前冲刺阅读强化限时集训（三套，含答案解析，新高考省份专用）阅读强化训练(一)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解Hannah Levine decided she wanted to give hugs to all of the children and families in need at local hospitals.Because she couldn’t give them one by one, Levine，then a sixthgrader, decided she would use her talents(才能) to do the next best thing. She began to knit(编织) hats, scarves, and blankets for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford. Her creations also went to Bundle of Joy, a program that provides newborn baby items for families in need, and to Knitting Pals by the Bay, a local organization that provides handknitted caps to cancer patients.“I love to knit, and I thought it would be a great idea to make all these handmade items for kids and adults who need them. It would be like a hug for them，”Levine explained.Levine started the project about a year ago.“I think it’s just really fun to do, and it keeps me busy，”said Levine, now 13.Once she got started, Levine realized that her project could be much bigger than the goods she was able to produce with just her own two hands. So she sent emails to her school and communities(社区)，asking for knitted donations(捐赠物) to the project she named “Hannah’s Warm Hugs”．She also posted advertisements at Starbucks and other locations in her area. The warm goods began to gush__in．“It was amazing; more strangers than people she knew started dropping donations at our door，”said Levine’s mother, Laura Levine.“We ended up with this huge box of items she was donating.”The knitted items numbered in the hundreds. Levine made her first round of donations around Hanukkah (an eight-day Jewish holiday in November or December) and later received thank-you letters from the organizations. Levine is still knitting, and she said the project will continue.“It has turned into a bigger thing than she had thought，”her mom said.“It made her feel pretty good; it made us feel pretty good.”【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

ADance is one of the most natural forms of human communication.In many cultures，dance has both historic and cultural significance，which is communicated through learned gestures and expressions.Here's a bit more detail about three of the world's most beautiful dances.Kathakali (卡塔卡利舞)Kathakali is the most wellknown dance drama from the south Indian state of Kerala.It is a storytelling dance，during which performers use a variety of gestures，and eye and facial expressions to communicate meaning.Costumes，hair styles，face paint and jewelry also hold specific meaning in the performance of kathakali.There are nine facial expressions used to express feelings ranging from sadness and anger to curiosity and disgust.Through their expressions，it should be completely clear to the viewer what the performer is intending to convey.TangoThe dance has its roots in an African slave dance called candombe，which is also a type of music.One component of a candombe performance is a partnered dance，which has over time developed into the modern tango.If you can keep your eyes on one part of the tango，just focus on the dancers' legs and feet.The tango is typically performed low to the ground，with both performers' dance steps often taking place at the same time.It's complex and communicative.FlamencoOne of the most interesting facts about the flamenco is that it began as a song.Over time，flamenco developed to include its nowfam ous passionate (热情的)accompanying dance.One of the key components of the flamenco is palmas.It may look like simple，rhythmic(有节奏的)clapping，but palmas are performed at different speeds and strengths，and it is important that the flamenco dancer understand how to make use of his or her hands as part of the performance.[语篇解读] 本文是一篇应用文。

Because comfortable people’s worth comes from within, they see no point in tearing others down.To them, the only sensible way to speak about another i s to be positive.I guess when you realize your worth comes from within, you might as well build others up rather than tear them down, since their size is of no threat to your sense of selfworth.Plus, it’s a lot more fun to speak love to others and watch their eyes glow than it is to hurt someone’s feelings for a cheap laugh, anyway.When we become comfortable with ourselves through fully accepting who we are, we can silence the noise our insecurities make in public situations and enjoy the wonderful reality that unfolds before us.The result is a world with fewer insecurities.To me, that sounds like a better world.5．Which of the following sayings best expresses the main idea of the passage?A．Actions speak louder than words.B．No pains, no gains.C．Luck favors those who are comfortable with who they are.D．Don’t claim to know what you don’t know.6．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Insecurities.B．Open wounds.C．People who are comfortable with themselves.D．Threats.7．What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A．To give a vivid description of people who are comfortable with themselves.B．To ask people to make friends with people who are comfortable with themselves.C．To offer some practical advice on how to be a person who is comfortable with himself/herself.D．To appeal to people to be comfortable with themselves so that we can live in a better world.C(2021·辽宁大连双基测试)Whenever we see a button, we want to press it because we know that something will happen.This is true in most cases, for example, on a doorbell.But some buttons are actually fake(假的), like the “close” button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don’t have the patience to wait.But lifts’“close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the U．S.—the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the U．S., making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter safely.Only repair workers can use the buttons to speed up the door closing process if they have special keys.But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren’t completely useless.According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“A sense of control is very important.It reduces stress and increases wellbeing，”said Ellen J．Langer, a psychology professor at Harvard University.Experts also added that a lot of buttons that don’t do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don’t live up to their names either.Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computer controlled traffic signals were introduced.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”， they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as t he doors eventually close, it is considered to be wort h the effort.8．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To describe different fake buttons.B．To explore the functions of fake buttons.C．To analyze various habits of pushing buttons.D．To explain the disadvantages of fake buttons.9．Wh at can we learn about the “clos e” buttons on a lift in America?A．They work when people press them hard.B．They were designed for a sense of control.C．They never speed up the doorclosing process.D．They take the safety of the disabled into account.10．What can we infer about pedestrian crosswalk buttons?A．They can make people feel better.B．They help computers work faster.C．They can control the traffic signals.D．They help pedestrians cross safely.11．Which may be the best title for the
