2020年高三英语阅读理解专项训练(名师精选真题+实战训练，建议下载练习)一Not so long ago, most people didn’t know who Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was go to become. She was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication thatshe was just another American teenager without much of a future. However, one personwants to change this. Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as athe beginning of true greatness. H ertrack meet and was convinced that he had seen t he beginning oftime were not exactly impressive, but even so, he seemed there was something trying toget out, something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her andher lacking. HeHe decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict trainingfound her lacking.seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced re sults, and a few year later at JamaicaOlympic games in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 in短跑).the world, beat Jamaica’s unchallenged queen of the sprint(“Where d id she come from?” asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time totime, only to disappear again without signs. But Shelly Ann was to prove that she waswonder. At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubtsa one-hit wonder. Atanything but a one-hitabout her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever towin the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again one year on at the WorldChampionship in Briton, becoming world champion with a time of 10.73--- the fourthrecord ever.Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that didnot come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless. She grew smooth and effortless. She grew up in up in one of Jamaica ’s toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers. Waterhouse, one of the poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really violent and overpopulated place. Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings; one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes her family didnhave enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn ’t afford sho es. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop after she had her first baby. Maxime ’s early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice everything.It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could realize that sports could be her be her be her way way out ofWaterhouse. O n a summer evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports.But Shelly-Ann ’s victory was far greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped. The dark cloud above one of the world ’s toughest criminalneighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days. “ I have so much fire burning forfor homeless children andstart a foundation formy country,”Shelly said. She plans to start a foundationwants to build a community centre in Waterhouse. She hopes to inspire the Jamaicansto lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it a woman’s as world.As Muhammad Ali puts it, “ Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are madefrom something they have deep inside them. A desire, a dream, a vision.”One of thethings Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth.1. Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach Shelly-Ann?A. He had a strong desire to free her family from trouble.B. He sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses.C. She had big problems maintaining her performance.D.

I would be a different person if my m hadn ’t turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I car ry with me today.My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostlyfell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly dondid it. Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task., but she made it look effortless. If we complained about not having we complained about not having what what another kid did, we ’ d hear something like, “I don ’t care what so –and –so got for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room a car for your birthday a lsvish sweet 16 party.” We had to earn our allowance by doing chores around the house. I can still l remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house .Like the two little girls growing up at the White House, we made our own beds (no one left the house until that was done)and picked up after ourselves. We had to keep track of our belongings ,and if something was lost ,it was not replaced.It was summer and ,one day ,my mother drove me to mother drove me to the bike the bike the bike shop to shop to get a tirefixed---and there it was in the window, White, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers ,the basket winked at me and I knew ----I k new---I had to have it.“It ’s beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to her,”What a neat basket.”I tried to hold off at first ,I played it cool for a short while. But then I guess Icouldn ’t at and it any longer:“Mom, please please can I can I please please ,please ,please get it? get it? I I ’ll do extra chores for as long as you say, I ’ll do anything ,but I need that basket,I love that basket.Please ,Mom .Please?”I was desperate.“You know,” she said ,gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what Ibelieves was the coolest thing ever,” If you save up you could buy this yourself.“By the time I make enough it’ll but gone!”“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,” she smiled at Roger ,the bike guy “He can’t hold it for that long ,Mom .Someone else will buy it .Please, Mom, Please?”“There might be another way,” she said.And so our paying plan unfolded. My mother bought the beautiful basket and put itsafely in some hiding place I couldn’t find. Each week I eagerly counted my growsaving increased by extra work here and there (washing the car ,helping my mothermake dinner, delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked nakedwithout the basket in front).And then ,weeks later ,I counted ,re-counted and jumpedfor joy. Oh ,happy day ! I made it! I finally had the exact amount we’ayed with millions Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood girl I’ d plof times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny ,new bike that alreadyhad all the bells and whistles. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about thisdisaster. This horrible turn of events.And then came the lesso n .

I put a small set ofomething out of the Tinkertoys. Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:”Make sYou have 45 minutes today - a nd 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of themodel plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creativemind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing thosestudents who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare,just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell som wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody.

They settled in at a comfortable East Sidecafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.“Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?” the elegant, white-haired writer remembered beingasked by the stranger. “I’m from Mississippi too.”Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,” Welty said. “I di my New York friends were thinking.”Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got upto leave, it was pouring outside. We lty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab.

Crows (乌鸦) circle and squawk (尖叫), diving at him and going away.Beneath the mask, he smiles. Days before he and his students, wearing caveman masks, tapped them and placed colored plastic bands on their legs. Then they released the unhappy birds. When the researchers wandered around campus without the masks, the crows they had caught and banded did not react to them. But when the same humans walked by while wearing the masks, the crows scolded loudly and dived at their “enemies”．At first, only the banded birds reacted aggressively to the people in masks. But in later tests more and more crows joined in, and even when the banded birds were not aroun d. “Crows think and dream, fight and play, reason and take risks，” he says. “Their antics confuse us.”This led him to study how crows' brains work. He and his students wore one type of mask as they captured crows and brought them into the lab, training them to link that face with danger. Then a different kind of mask for more positive activities, such as feeding and caring. Then he worked with scientists at the university who scan animal brains to see which parts of a crow's brain do certain tasks. Surprisingly, the scientists found that when the crow saw the “danger” mask, one part of its brain became active. When the crow saw the “feeding and caring” mask, a different part of its brain lit up. The team has shown that crows use the same parts of their brains for recognizing what humans do—something that was not known before!More than 10 years after the first mask experiment, campus crows still scold the “cavemen”. Crows also recognize people who are kind to them. Crows are alwayswatching us and they remember.1．Why does Dr. John Marzluff smile?A．He intends to show his kindness.B．He realizes his trick has worked.C．He is amused by the happy crows.D．He is embarrassed at the crows' response.2．What does the underlined word “antics” in the third paragraph probably refer to?A．Ways of behaving.B．Hunting types.C．Flying models.D．Chances of survival.3．Which of the following words can best describe the crows according to the text?A．Sociable, intelligent and observant.B．Noisy, dangerous and annoying.C．Reasonable, cautious and aggressive.D．Strongheaded, proud and popular.4．What can we conclude about crows from the fourth paragraph?A．They share the same wisdom as humans do.B．They never forgive those who once hurt them.C．They only recognize the people who are bad to them.D．They perform tasks with different parts of their brains.B[2023·潍坊市高三联考]You've likely encountered the humblebrag before—boasting (吹嘘) disguised as a complaint, such as：“I'm having such a stressful day. I got two job offers and I don't know what to do.”This is a typical example of humblebragging, a term coined by comedic writer Harris Wittels referring to “a specific t ype of boast that allows the offender to broadcast their achievements without the necessary shame and guilt that shouldnormally accompany such claims”. In simpler terms, it's a way to disguise a boast with some humility. Humblebragging comes in two different forms. The first is humilitybased, an example being, “I can't believe I got the highest grade in my class”. The second type comes mixed with a bit of complaint, for example，“I can't believe that shopkeeper asked me for ID. I'm 25！”People don't like when others humblebrag because they find they are lacking in sincerity. Sincerity is a critical dimension of social evaluation, which is viewed as fundamental to people's identity. In fact, sincerity is prized even above competence and warmth in others, according to Dr. Sezer.If humblebragging doesn't work, and no one likes it, why do we still do it? We all want to highlight our positive qualities without seeming proud. By speaking in a complaint or an expression of humility, we hope we'll somehow land o n the “sweet spot” of selfpresentation: promoting ourselves while also conveying likability. In addition, research suggests that people may experience positive emotions while humblebragging.Considering that we're all likely to feel the urge to humblebrag, at least to some extent, the proper response when we hear a friend doing it may be to simply let it go—because ultimately we're going to do it ourselves, and who really want to be called out on it?5．Which of the following remarks is an example of humblebragging?A．How I hate hearing my voice on TV!B．I'm thrilled to be awarded the first prize.C．I'm the only person to get promoted in the firm.D．How I dislike doing the same thing every day!6．Which can best describe people's impression of humblebraggers?A．Honest. B．Humble.C．Insincere. D．Incapable.7．Why do people humblebrag?A．To lift their spirits.B．To express their complaints.C．To improve their moral qualities.D．To show off without bringing annoyance.8．What are people advised to do when hearing a humblebrag from a friend?A．Follow it up.B．Leave it alone.C．Turn against it.D．Get to the root of it.Ⅱ.七选五[2023·山东省实验中学模拟] When life gets busy, personal priorities, selfcare, or “metime” may start to be ignored.

During the visit,Hamiltonstarted talking to one of the prisoners and asked what he was going to do when he got out. “He said he was going to get a job,”Hamiltonrecalls. “I thought to myself, wow, that’s going to be difficult with a criminal background.”The conversation madeHamiltonconsider how to help those who came out from prison. Finally in 2008, 16 years after that initial conversation,Hamiltoncreated Inmates to Entrepreneurs, a nonprofit organization that helps people with criminal backgrounds start their own small businesses.At the time,Hamiltonwas building his own company, a software technology company for the banking industry. As his company grew, so didHamilton’s time devoted to giving lessons to prisoners.

His online courses will be set next year. “By March 1, 2022, anyone will be able to access the courses, either to become a certificated instructor or to access it for themselves as a prisoner or part of the general population,”Hamiltonexplained. In addition, he visits middle schools and presents the course to at-risk students as a preventative measure against crime.The free course is funded by the recently established Brian Hamilton Foundation, which offers assistance to military members as they return to civilian life and provides loans o small businesses. “Starting up a business isn't for everyone, but if we make opportunities available, and let people know that other people care about them, it makes a difference.”Hamiltonsaid.4.

A man successfully created two organizations.CHoneybees can’t swim, and when their wings are wet, they can’t fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings toproduce little waves and slide toward land-like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.As with many scientific advances-IsaacNewton’s apple or Benjamin Franklin’s lightning bolt-Dr. Roh’s experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltech’s Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the water’s surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect localPasadenahoneybees and observed their surf-like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee’s bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. It’s a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn’t been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic insects use their legs forpropulsion, which is known as water-walking. It may have evolved in bees, they-predicted.Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees’ surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you can’t send a boat or helicopter,” Dr. Gharib said.8. What does the author intend to show by mentioningNewtonandFranklin?A. Roh’s admiration for them.B. Roh’s chance discovery about bees.C. Their outstanding talent for science.D. Their similar achievements in discovery.9. What plays the most vital role in a bee’s moving forward on water?A. The air weight.B. Its leg extension.C. The water movement.D. Its continuous wingbeat.10. What does the underlined word “propulsion” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Fast flightB. Driving force.C. Pulling speed.D. Explosive power.11. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Honeybees can surf to safety.B. Bees help scientists make inventions.C. Insects can adapt to the environment.D. Nature is a helpful guide for discovery.DSmart speakers have proven to be handy devices in hospitals, allowing patients to control independently . And now, researchers from theUniversityofWashingtonhave developed an artificial intelligence system that enables these devices to monitor heartbeats.Using technology to remotely monitor heart rates isn't new. These days most smartwatches and fitness trackers are capable of it. The good thing here is that researchers have figured out a way to use the microphones in smart speakers to do it without requiring physical contact.In a study published inCommunications Biology, the researchers had the smart speakers send out signals that couldn't be heard which were then reflected off a person's body. They then analyzed these signals to identify small chest wall motions related to heartbeats, as well as separate those signals from surrounding noise and breathing.For this particular proof — of — concept setup, the researchers tested this smart speaker on 26 healthy participants and 24 hospitalized patients with various heart conditions, including atrial fibrillation（心房颤动）and heart failure. In both cases, the smart speaker was within 28 -30 milliseconds of an ECG（心电图）,the gold standard used in hospitals to discover arrhythmia（心律不齐）.Like smartwatches with advanced heart features, using smart speakers in this way opens up the possibility for passive, remote heart monitoring. ECGs, while highly accurate, require a visit to the doctor and several electrodes （电极）to be placed on the body. They,re not capable of continuous monitoring so you're limited to what it picks up at that exact moment in time ——one reason why heart arrhythmia can be so hard to discover.Smartwatches are capable of passive, remote, continuous monitoring, but they require you to wear thedevice at all times to be effective. It's not something that's comfortable for everyone, especially when it comes to sleep and for those with highly sensitive skin. Another issue is that these advanced smartwatches are expensive, while smart speakers are much cheaper.“If you have a device like this, you can monitor a patient on an extended basis and then develop corresponding care plans that satisfy the patient' s needs,“ said Dr. Arun Sridhar, co — senior author on the study. "And the beauty of using this kind of devices is that they are already in people's homes.”12. What does the author focus on in Paragraph 3?A. How the smart speaker works.B. Why the smart speaker is useful.C. The advantages of smart speakers.D. The importance of the study.13. Why is heart arrhythmia difficult to find?A. ECGs are not highly accurate.B. ECGs can't monitor continuously.C. Doctors know little about heart arrhythmia.D. An ECG test is hard to operate and expensive.14. Which statement best explains the characteristics of smartwatches?A. They are comfortable to wear.B. They are friendly to sensitive skin.C. They are effective and cheap.D. They are able to monitor remotely.15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. We need to invent more smart devices.B. Care plans are vital to patients with heart failure.C. Smart speakers could be contactless heart monitors.D. Different devices are needed to meet patients,demands.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The other is what is known as your carbon footprint. 2 Often people consider their carbon footprint to be the result of their immediate use of fossil fuels and energy usage, like cooking with natural gas or using petrol to run their automobiles. 3 This may include the fossil fuel used to transport the food that you buy at your local grocery store, or the energy used to deal with the waste produced in your household.Taking small steps to reduce your carbon footprint and saving energy is actually fairly simple. 4 It requires the burning of fossil fuels to make the bottle, transport it, and get rid of it if it’s not recycled.过滤) systems can reduce your influence and cost for water.Unplugging appliances that are not frequently in use is another way to reduce your carbon footprint. Most of these items have a standby mode(待机模式) that wastes energy even when they’re not in use. 5What is more, new energy efficient light bulbs, filters, and appliances could also help reduce your carbon footprint.In a word, less energy used means less greenhouse gas produced. With easy steps, you are on your way to reducing the size of the carbon footprint left behind.A.Cutting off power is the best way to ensure that unnecessary energy is not lost.B.For instance, the use of bottled water leaves a rather significant carbon footprint.C.What fossil fuels may lead to carbon footprints?D.However, wherever we go, we actually leave two sets of footprints.E.We often forget footprints sometimes consequently do harm to the environment.F.However, your carbon footprint consists of many activities that can be far less obvious.G.That refers to the level of greenhouse gases your lifestyle and activity produce and send out.Passage 2文体：说明文词数：273 限时：7分钟some thing that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. 1So challenge the following limits：1. Figure out what you’re scared of and do it continuously.If you’re a salesman, and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. 2 But don’t stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look a t fear in the eyes and say, “Go on, I’m not scared!”2. 3Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career；you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on. Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.3.Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.4 A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself.4.Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.Don’t just limit yourself to your fellow travelers—try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they’re going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class. 5A.You should do it continuously.B.Someone may hang up on you.C.You don’t need to go to the gym.D.Running in the gym may be a better choice.E.Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.F.Take a class for a hobby you want to develop.G.You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone.Passage 3文体：说明文词数：280 限时：8分钟A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon.

Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy. Give them a nutritious diet. It is importantfor your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best. 3 If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet, rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress.4 Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and／or do something active when she needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise are all important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance her time so that she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.Show a positive attitude. 5 Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure.

They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.1 Some people express anger openly in a calm and reasonable way. Others burst with anger and scream and yell. But still other people keep their anger inside. They cannot or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases some hormones(荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. 2 Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.3 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “4 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly andreasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has, made you angry. 5A.They say that laughter is much healthier than anger.B.Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.C.Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.D.Anger may cause you a cancer.E.Do not express your anger while angry.F.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.G.In general the person feels excited and ready to act.答案及解析Passage 1【语篇导读】文章谈及碳足迹，提及碳足迹的分类，并结合生活中的实例提出环保措施。

2020届武汉四中高三英语期中试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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AI once taught in a small private school. Each morning at nine o’clock all the students, ranging in age from three to seven years old, gathered in the Great Room for a warm-up in preparation for the day.One morning the headmistress made an announcement to all the children gathered,“Today we begin a great experiment of the mind.” She held up two ivy(常春藤) plants, each potted in an identical container. She continued, “Do they look the same?”All the children nodded. So did I, for, in this way, I was alsoa child.“We will give the plants the same amount of light, the same amount of water, but not the same amount of attention,” She said. “Together we are going to see what will happen when we put one plant in the kitchen away from our attention and the other plant right here in this room. Each day for the next month, we shall sing to our plant in the Great Room and tell it how much we love it, and how beautiful it is. We will use our good minds to think good thoughts about it.”Four weeks later my eyes were as wide and disbelieving as the children’s. The kitchen plant was leggy and sick-looking, and it hadn’t grown at all. But the Great Room plant, which had been sung to and surrounded by positive thoughts and words, had increased threefold in size with dark leaves that were filled with energy.In order to prove the experiment, the kitchen ivy was brought to the Great Room to join the other ivy. Within three weeks, the second plant had caught up with the first ivy. Within four weeks, they could not be distinguished, one from the other.I took this lesson to heart and made it my own.1. Why did the headmistress do the experiment?A. She wanted to teach me a lesson.B. She expected the students to learn to grow plants.C. She meant to prove the impact of good minds on growth.D. She intended to show students how to save a sick-looking plant.2. What happened to the ivy in the kitchen at last?A. It stopped growing and died.B. It was leggy and sick with dark leaves.C. It looked almost the same as the other one.D. It grew better than the one in the Great Room.3. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Life Means GrowthB. Things Grow with LoveC. Equality Makes a DifferenceD. Positive Thoughts Really CountBA Chinese space mining company has designed a robot that can capture waste material left behind by spacecraft in outer space with a big net.The state-run Xinhua news agency recently reported that the robot launched on the government's Long March 6 rocket along with several satellites. The robot will also investigate deep space to observe small objects in the universe. The 30-kilogram robot, called NEO-01 , was developed by Origin Space. Pounded in 2019 and based in the southern Chinese tech hub(技术中心)Shenzhen, Origin Space has been devoted to exploring and using space resources, according to the company. The company says the robot will lead the way for future technologies capable of mining on asteroids(小行星).The world's first asteroid mining company, Planetary Resources, was established in 2009. Since then, more than 12 businesses around the world have entered the industry, including 3D Systems of the United States and Japan's Astroscale. Astroscale's technology uses magnets (磁铁)to gather up space waste. But a report on the Origin Space website says NEO-01 will use a net to capture waste and then bum it. Thousands of satellites have been launched worldwide. As they are used too long, many end up as waste and put other operating satellites at risk.Su Meng is the founder of Origin Space. He said the company plans to launch many space telescopes and more spacecraft to begin the first for-profit mining of asteroids by 2045. Su added that NEO-01 will serve as a prototype (雏形)of future space mining robots, which can use rich mineral resources on asteroids to support the development of the space industry.The Xinhua news agency reported that China was increasing efforts to land a spacecraft on a near-Earth asteroid to collectmaterials. China is also speeding up a plan to build a defense system against near-Earth asteroids. The country aims to follow Russia and the United States in becoming a major space power by 2030.4. Which of the following can correctly describe NEO-01?A. It weighs 60 kilograms.B. It was created by Planetary Resources.C. It will be burnt after finishing its mission.D. It is mainly used to catch space waste.5. What can be inferred from the text?A. China will be the most powerful in space by 2030.B. Origin Space will open more mines on asteroids.C. It is those useless satellites that make space waste.D. The robot will look into deep space for more waste.6. What does Su Meng think of NEO-01 ?A. It is promising and rewarding.B. It has benefited the space industry.C. It's a long way to produce it.D. It'll help make money for the company.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. NEO-01 , A Smart Robot Used in SpaceB. A Chinese Robot Can Catch Space WasteC. A New Robot Makes China a SpacePowerD. NEO-01 , the Pioneer of Future Space RobotsCEvery day, millions of shoppers hit the stores in full force, searching wildly for the perfect gift.Aside from purchasing holiday gifts, most people regularly buy presents for other occasions throughout the year, including weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations. This frequent experience of gift-giving cancause uncertain feelings in gift-givers. Many enjoy the opportunity to buy presents because gift-giving offers a powerful means to build stronger bonds, while many worry that their purchases will disappoint rather than delight the intended recipients (接受者).Anthropologists describe gift-giving as a positive social process, serving various political, religious, and psychological functions. Economists, however, offer a less favorable view. According to Waldfogel, gift-giving represents an objective wasteof resources. People buy gifts that recipients would not choose to buy on their own, or at least not spend as much money to purchase (a phenomenon referred to as‘‘the deadweight loss of Christmas”).What is surprising is that gift-givers have much experience acting as both gift-givers and gift-recipients, but nevertheless tend to overspend each time they set out to purchase a meaningful gift. In the present research, we propose a unique psychological explanation for this overspending problem — gift-givers link how much they spend with how much recipients will appreciate the gift. Though it seems natural to gift-givers, such an assumption may be unfounded. Indeed, we propose that gift-recipients will be less likely to base their feelings of appreciation on the value of a gift than givers assume.Why do gift-givers assume that gift price is closely linked to gift-recipients’ feelings of appreciation? Perhaps givers believe that more expensive gifts communicate a stronger sense ofthoughtfulness and consideration. According to Camerer and others, gift-giving represents a symbolic ritual (习俗), by which gift-givers attempt to signal their positive attitudes towards the recipient and their willingness to invest resources in a futurerelationship. In this sense, gift-givers may be motivated to spend more money on a gift in order to send a “stronger signal”. As for gift-recipients, they may not interpret smaller and larger gifts as representing smaller and larger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration.The idea of gift-givers and gift-recipients being unable to account for the other party’s viewpoint seems confusing because people slip in and out of these roles every day. Yet, despite the experience as both givers and receivers, people often struggle to apply information gained from one role in another. In theoretical terms, people fail to use information about their own preferences and experiences to produce more efficient outcomes in their exchange relations. In practical terms, people spend hundreds of dollars each year on gifts, but somehow never learn to estimate their gift expense according to personal insight.8. The author uses “the deadweight loss of Christmas” in Paragraph 2 to express ________.A. gift-givers don’t spend much money during holidaysB. gift-givers don’t ask recipients what gifts they preferC. gift-givers buy improper and expensive giftsD. gift-givers have difficulty in choosing gifts9. According to the passage, people buy gifts to ________.A. receive gifts in returnB. enjoy the feeling of shoppingC. help recipients to save moneyD. better relationships with recipients10. What can we learn from the passage?A. People’s high living standards require expensive gifts.B. Gift-givers buy gifts based on their experiences as recipients.C. Anthropologists think gift-giving meets different human needs.D. Recipients judge the depth of friendship according to the gift price.11. Why did the author write this article?A. To criticize people’s gift-buying habits.B. To analyze people’s gift-giving behaviors.C. To offer advice on how to improve relationships.D. To remind people not to overlook others’ preferences.DBefore moving to Stokholm, I did my research on Sweden and was confident about my move. However, I quickly realized on my first day that so much of what I learnedwas so very wrong. There are many things that a Google search cannot show about Sweden.The first is fika. A fika is taking a break from whatever you are doing to enjoy a coffee with friends. Swedes value community highly so it makes sense that they would like to set aside time each day to reconnect with others. Fika is a great time to meet new people as well as catch up with friends.I grew up in the American South where everyone is very friendly. I found that little things like not being asked my life story at the coffee shop by the waiter upset me. However, Swedish people are not rude. Instead, they practice being logom, which means “just enough”.The winters can be very dark and cold, so the Swedish people do not take any sunny day for granted. Since the weather has been fine, I have found myself walking a lot around Stockholm. Often it is easiest to get from place to place by walking, which allows you to see so much of the city and enjoy the fresh air. Though it has been very tiring to get used to, it also has made me feel better about all of the kardemummabullar that I have been eating!I think it is important for students who want to study abroad to know that it is hard to move to countries no matter how “similar” you may think they may be. You have to jump in with both feet and be patient with yourself as well as others. As long as you keep an open mind and are willing to learn, you will have a great experience.12. What do we know about fika?A. It is a waste of time.B. It is a way to balance life and work.C. It is all about drinking coffee.D. It is a Swedish social tradition.13. What does the author think of Swedish people?A. They are friendly.B. They seem a bit cold.C. They appear really rude.D. They are interested in other's life.14. Why does the author like walking?A. It is fun and not very tiring.B. It is good exercise on cold days.C It allows her to enjoy sunny days. D. It gives her the chance to eat the local food.15. What's the author's advice for students going abroad?A. Be confident.B. Be careful.C. Be open- minded.D. Be hard- working.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I enjoy the sense of strength and discipline that comes when the muscles are forced to resist. I've tried varying schedules—lifting every day, every other day, two days on and a day off. The every day approach is the least effective. I get the best strengthening results when I give myself a break.The same is true with mind and spirit. Without giving a chance to reenergize yourself, you begin to break down all the connective fibers of your life. I used to just give myself Sundays off. Now I'm scheduling downtime in the midst of everything—and “everything” includes reading two magazines, building a house in Hawaii, working on an ABC movie—and, oh yeah, my day job. Keeping it all straight was beginning to feel a little stressful. So I told myself that just because I have ten free minutes on my calendar doesn't mean I want to fill them. Breathing space has to become part of my daily routine.So instead of having people lined up outside my office after the first show—I tape two a day—I do nothing for at least ten minutes. The change has worked wonders.I have more energy, and I'm in a better mood for the second show and all the business that comes afterward.Now that I have the summer off to sit under the trees reading, napping, writing, and thinking, I know for sure it's time well spent. I'm refilling my tank so that by fall, when the new season begins, I'll be fired up and ready for whatever is to come. Fully restored.1．What is the function of the first paragraph?A．To arouse readers' concern.B．To summarize the whole passage.C．To state the importance of a good lifestyle.D．To introduce the theme of the whole passage.2．Which of the following does the author agree with?A．Keeping everything straight.B．Resting at any time.C．Taking breaks between tasks.D．Having a full schedule.3．What does the underlined “it” in Para. 2 refer to?A．Everything.B．Building a house.C．My day job.D．Working on a movie.4．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Lifting weights changes people's life.B．A little restoration helps go a long way.C．Why people need to be in high spirits.D．Ten minutes' break will work wonders.B[2023·南昌市高三摸底测试卷]We're all familiar with migration (迁徙): Wildebeests dash across Africa; Monarch butterflies fly across the Americas...But did you know that forests migrate, too?In his new book TheJourneysofTrees, science writer Zach St. George explores an extremely slow migration, as forests creep inch by inch to more pleasant places.“The migration of a forest is just many trees sprouting (发芽) in the same direction，” St. George writes. “Through the fossils that ancient forests left behind, scientists can track their movement over thousands of years. They move back and forth across continents, sometimes following the same route more than once, like migrating birds or whales.” This has happened over thousands of years, and climate change tends to be the driving force.Of course, today, climate change is speeding up, and trees can't keep pace. Take California for example: It's getting hotter and drier and scientists estimate that before too long, Sequoia National Park may not be able to keep giant sequoias (巨杉).“The scientists there had never seen anything like it”St. George says. “They worried, and I think at some point we will lose these ancient trees and that we will have to think about what we do with the places, and whether we should plant new groves where they are easy to grow.”This is known as “assisted migration”—humans planting trees in other places where they're more likely to flourish. But this process carries risks—people can accidentally introduce insects and diseases to new places, where they may wipe out entire native populations. So, St. George writes, there's a debate among conservationists and foresters today: Should humans help the trees escape?“There may be cases where people are probably going to step in and help species move to places where they'll be more suitable in the future，” St. George says. “So far, there are no huge movements of citizen groups moving trees north. But that is kind of one vision of the future that the people I interview sort of hope to see.”5．What can be learned about the migration of a forest?A．It is mainly the result of climate change.B．It often follows certain migrating species.C．It takes thousands of years to complete it.D．It is very difficult to track the migration.6．Why does the author mention Sequoia National Park?A.To stress the park is facing a severe situation.B.To show trees fail to adapt to the climate change.C．To prove the assisted migration carries risks.D.To state scientists are hopeful about the environment.7．What does the underlined word “flourish” i n Paragraph 6 mean?A．Become valuable. B．Develop rapidly.C．Grow well. D．Escape diseases.8．What's St. George's attitude towards helping the trees escape?A．Skeptical. B．Supportive.C．Objective. D．Disapproving.Ⅱ.七选五[2023·长春市高三质量预测四]Are you failing school? Do you have trouble finding and holding on to a job? Are you unhappy at work? Have you been accumulating many personal debts?

AKevin, diagnosed with dyslexia(诵读困难症), rarely spoke a word in class, and if he did, it would be a “Yes”，“No”，or “Maybe”in response to questions. He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future. That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth center Kidpreneur.In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that center. The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood—a low-income area in Sydney’s western suburbs—and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.At the end of the course, Sarah took the kids to the local area. She asked volunteers to share their business experiences—Kevin immediately put up his hand. His challenge was to trade his hot dog selling service for free bread at a bakery. Although scared, Kevin was able to share his entrepreneurial story(创业故事) with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly, the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story and handed him some bread for free. By the end of the afternoon, his belief in himself and what was possible was at an all-time high.The following week, Kevin sold 70 hot dogs in two hours and made over $200. Soon after, he delivered public speeches in 20 schools, and was selected as part of his school’s leadership team. Now he heads a business group working on how to increase the potential customer base.All of this would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion and perseveranceto improve himself, and those around him. The guidance and trust of his advisor also helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.1．What were the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?A．To improve their test scores.B．To create a hot dog business.C．To teach in low-income areas.D．To be beneficial to the local area.the last paragraph probably mean?2．What does the underlined word“ki ndle”inA．Inspire.B．Share.C．Continue. D．Express.3．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．On the Road to RecoveryB．Turning Failure into SuccessC．Growing Wealthy Through Hard WorkD．From Hopeless Youth to Business LeaderBFor six hundred years, the Tower of London’s most exotic(异国风情的) prisoners were animals.The Royal Menagerie(动物园) began as a result of kings exchangingrare and strange animals as gifts.In 1235, Henry Ⅲwas delighted to be presented with three wildcats by the Holy Roman Emperor FrederickⅡ.These inspired him to start a zoo at the Tower.Henry’s“wildcats”，although described as leopards, were probably lions.These are theshirts today.ancestors of the three lions that still appear on the England football team’ｓIn 1251 the lions were joined by a“white bear”probably a polar bear—given by the King of Norway.In 1255, the King of France sent the first elephant never seen in England and people flocked together to see the novel sight. Sadly, the elephant died in 1258.Poor treatment and cramped conditions meant many of the animals did not survive for long.But the Royal Menagerie continued to grow.Edward Ⅰcreated a permanent new home for the Royal Menagerie at the western entrance to the Tower，which became known as the Lion Tower.The terrifying sounds and smells of wild animals must have both impressed and scared visitors.By 1622, the collection had been extended to include three eagles, two pumas, a tiger and a jackal, as well as lions and leopards, who were the main attractions.However, the end of the Royal Menagerie came in the 1830s. Campaigners had begun to raise concerns, and the animals were expensive, occasionally dangerous and a nuisance to thePark, today’s guardsmen.The Duke of Wellington sent 150 of the beasts to a new zoo in Regent’ｓLondon Zoo.Despite Alfred Cops’s best efforts to carry on，several further incidents including an escaped wolf and a monkey that bit a guardsman’s leg convinced King William Ⅳto shut down the Royal Menagerie for good in 1835.The remaining animals were sold to zoos and travelling shows and the Lion Tower was later demolished.4．What do we know about the elephant presented in 1255?A．It caused big trouble.B．It received much attention.C．It lived painfully in the Lion Tower.D．It died before the polar bear came in.5．How many types of animals at the Royal Menagerie are mentioned in the text?A．Eight.B．Nine.C．Ten. D．Eleven.6．Which is the best title for the text?A．The Royal MenagerieB．Gifts Presented to the KingC．Tourist Attractions in LondonD．Miserable Life in the Lion TowerCWe humans love to stare into our smart devices. We gaze for hours—about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day—at our computers, smartphones, tabletsand televisions. Is all this staring bad for us? It might be, mainly because aswe stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.Blue light is a type of electromagnetic(电磁的) radiation with a very short wavelength thattrue that light can damage our eyes under certain produces a high amount of energy. While it’ｓcircumstances, there’s no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes. But many people still think it is, which is why blue-light-blocking glasses are so popular. So do the glasses work?“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye, but there’s no evidence that it may be causing serious damage，”Dr. Rahul Khurana, clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, told Business Insider.Blue light exposure is nothing new. In fact, the sun is the largest source of blue light. Moreover, blue light is also present in LED light. But if blue light isn’t harmful, then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we’re looking at our screens? The answer is eyestrain(眼疲劳): More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain. Andblue light, it seems, isn’t the cause. Instead, our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices. So if eyestrain is the issue, blue-light-blocking glasses are probably of little use.7．What do we know about blue light?A．It is a kind of nuclear radiation.B．It has the shortest wavelength.C．It may come from electronic devices.D．It consumes a great deal of energy.8．What causes the popularity of blue-light-blocking glasses?A．Evidence of their benefits to eyes.B．Belief in blue light’s harmful effect.C．Widespread use of smart devices.D．Scientific understanding of blue light.9．What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A．Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable.B．Eye problems are not easy to deal with.C．Blue light may connect with tired eyes.D．Rubbing eyes makes people strained.10．According to the text, wearing blue-light-blocking glasses may be ________．A．tiring B．harmfulC．useless D．beneficial第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The most confusing part about choosing pre-school is to choose educational philosophy.BDeep among the streams and kauri trees of rural south Auckland, New Zealand'snewest and most alternative school is in session. The weather is fine so a bout of (一次) fishing is in order, followed by lunch cooked on an open fire. Homework and classes? Indefinitely dismissed.“We are called a school but we look nothing like any school out there，” saysJoey Moncarz, cofounder and head teacher at Deep Green Bush School. “We don't do things like telling kids it is time to write or learn math. When they are interested indoing it, they do it.”Moncarz is an exmainstream teacher. After five disappointing years inmainstream schools in New Zealand he quit to found Deep Green Bush School, whichhas a roll of eight, and no classroom walls, time out chairs (罚坐椅) or tests.Concerned that mainstream schools were not preparing children for the globalproblems of the future —　such as climate change —　Moncarz imagined a totallydifferent kind of education, rooted in the primal skills of hunting, gathering andsurvival. If the weather allows, pupils spend the majority of their day outdoors,exploring the New Zealand bush, learning to fish and hunt, trapping possums andlearning about the plants and animals of their home. The more traditional school skills,such as reading, writing and arithmetic, are acquired at their own pace, after theybegin showing an interest in them.“We don't have what you'd traditionally consider problem kids，” says Moncarz.“Our parents saw their kids were unhappy and stressed in mainstream education andthey started questioning: Is it normal or right for kids to come home stressed a ndunhappy? Having taught in a mainstream school, I'd say most kids are stressed andunhappy.”Bush School is registered with the Ministry of Education as an independentschool, and therefore does not have to abide_by the standard New Zealand curriculum,although it is subject to ministerial regulation.Inspired by the Sudbury Valley School in the US, which in turn was inspired byA. S. Neill's Summerhill School in the UK, since launching in January Moncarz hasbeen fielding requests from around New Zealand and abroad to open chapters of BushSchool in places as far a field as China and Europe.Moncarz insists that the school isn't an “experiment” in education, and is basedon two million years of evidence of how parents have raised their kids, at one with，”　nature. “We don't want to be one of a kind. We want to replace mainstream schools said Moncarz.3．What can the students do in Deep Green Bush School?A．Learn more practical living skills.B．Attend more diverse athletic contests.C．Study traditional courses more effectively.D．Join in environmental protection more actively.4．Why did Moncarz set up Deep Green Bush School?A．To help problem kids.B．To reduce parents' burden.C．To reform the traditional school system.D．To conduct an educational experiment.5．What does the underlined part “abide by” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A．Obey. B．Assess.C．Monitor. D．Replace.6．What is the education system of Deep Green Bush School like?A．Unpractical and rigid.B．Unsatisfactory but strict.C．Unremarkable but fruitful.D．Unconventional and popular.。

2020年高考英语真题模拟试题专项汇编（2）阅读理解-故事类1. "They tell me that you'd like to make a statue(塑像)of me—is that correct, Miss Vinnie Ream?"The deep, gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl. Asking a favor of the President of the United States was no casual matter, especially for aseventeen-year-old girl."Yes, sir," she replied, her dark eyes meeting his. "I wouldn't have dared ask you, but my teacher, Mr. Mills, says I am ready. I plan to make it in an admirable manner."President Lincoln smiled. "Painters, sculptors—they've all tried to make the best of this ordinary face, but I'm afraid there's not much hope. What did you have in mind, Miss Ream? A bust(半身像)?"Before Vinnie could say yes, the President hurried on, a shade of apology in his voice."Of course—I shouldn't have asked. A full-length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman your size."Vinnie's face turned red. She realized she looked like a child, with her tiny figure. "Small does not mean weak, sir," she defended herself. "I was born in the country of Wisconsin. I've driven teams of horses and carried water. Making afull-length clay(粘土)figure would not exhaust my strength—and that is what I intend to do!"The President's eyes, brightened at her show of spirit. "Sorry, madam, I have underestimated you as I didn't know your background."But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers, in thought. "Miss Ream," he sighed, "I'd like to let you do it, but as you know, we are in the middle of a war. How could I possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now? I hardly have a minute to myself."Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office. "I work quickly," she said. Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows."If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon, I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk."The President seemed to consider her idea seriously. He got up and shook Vinnie's hand warmly, "I've heard that you are a talented young woman, and I have found you charming and intelligent as well.

Growing up, Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be. "I was a black girl, from a refugee (难民)family," Deka said. "It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box."After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.Born and raised in San Diego's City Heights neighbourhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple. While some might say Deka's success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven, young scientist that she is today.When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one's life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didn't do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships."I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family," Deka said. "You have to not even do your best but two times better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up."Deka's efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. "She brought both enthusiasm and focus," Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. "She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar."When asked what advice she would give to others like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. "Don't tell yourself that the scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I'll never get into this school," she said. "I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in."(1).From the passage, we can learn that _________.A.Deka was adopted by a refugee familyB.Deka spent a lot of time going to partiesC.Deka became a professor after graduationD.Deka's experiences drove her to work hard(2).Deka realized the importance of education _________.A.from her mother's experienceB.after her chemistry classC.by reading books in the libraryD.through working at the institute(3).According to the last paragraph, Deka advised that studentsbe _________.A.patientB.confidentC.ambitiousD.generous(4).What does the story intend to tell us?A.Life is not all roses.B.Practice makes perfect.C.Well begun is half done.D.Hard work leads to success.3.Stanley Martin Lieber was born in Manhattan, NY on December 28, 1922.Upon graduating from De Witt Clinton High School, the 16-year-old boy was hired at what was then called Timely Comics. The company was best known for inexpensive fiction, or magazines. In 1941, when given his first chance to author a story—a short text for Captain America, he signed his name as “Stan Lee”. However,the pseudonym stuck, and soon after, became his legal name.Promoted to the editor of the comic book division at the age of 19, Lee spent the next decade writing a variety of styles. In the late 1950s, knowing his common writing career, Lee was considering leaving when he was asked to create a superhero character to compete with DC Comics’ successful Justice League.Lee partnered Jack Kirby to launch the Fantastic Four. The comic book was an instant hit, leading to the development of other superhero characters such as Iron Man, and Spider-man. Unlike previous superheroes who were described as perfect, Lee’s creations were provided with human faults, thus making them more related to fans.In 1972, Lee, by then the publisher of marvel, gave up editorial control to spend time promoting the company. While television shows featuring Marvel characters like Spider-Man and the Hulk did well, achieving success on the big screen proved difficult. It was not until 2000 with the release of The X-man, starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, lan Mekellen, and Halle Berry, that Marvels superheroes became a hit on the big screen. This was also the first time Lee had began the much- -loved tradition of making cameo (客串演出) appearances in the movies. In 2009, the Walt Disney Company acquired Marvel and lifted up the superhero world further with summer blockbusters like The Avengers.Though Lee is no longer with us, his larger-than-life personality, fun-loving wit, and charm will be remembered for generations to come.1.Which word can replace the underlined word “pseudonym” in Paragraph 1?A.Pen name.B.Fiction.C.Text.pany.2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.All the superheroes Lee created were perfect.B.Lee was asked to cooperate with Justice league.C.Marvel was bought by Walt Disney Company in 2009.D.The comic book Fantastic Four was a complete failure.3.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A.The success of Stanley Martin s comic books.B.Stanley Martins first appearance in the movies.C.Stanley Martins decision to create his own company.D.Stanley Martin s devotion to moving his company to a higher rank.4.Where is this passage most likely from?A.a biography.B.A diary.C.A guide book.D.A book review.4.Almost everyone labels me an optimist. But even optimists can temporarily lose hope. This was the case for me on a particularly cold and gloomy January day. I felt depressed by the painful challenges I was dealing with in my personal life. Marriage, health, and financial struggles had joined forces to create a tornado of emotion that threatened to crush my spirit. I felt angry. The weather seemed to reflect my mood---the gray sky blocked even a single ray of sunlight.About midway through the day, I left work to get some lunch. Still feeling negative, I noticed that the sun had come out for a brief moment. I began to think about my negative attitude and remind myself that I was responsible for choosing my state of mind. Even as I consciously reminded myself of this truth, I felt incapable of making the shift.As I stopped at a red light, I looked at the car directly in front of mine. The personalized license plate caught my eye---it read “Sunout”. This brought an immediate smile to my face. It felt like a reminder that the sun was shining after all. But then my eyes moved to the car that was perfectly parallel to the Sunout vehicle. The license plate on that car read “Complainer” This brought mo re than a smile tomy face as I laughed out loudly! Seeing the two very opposite license plates at that exact moment in time, I felt my spirits and mood lift as I made the conscious decision to choose a positive attitude.I shared my story with several co-workers who responded with warm laughter. I learned that day that when we are feeling too discouraged to bring ourselves out ofa state of negativity, relief is just near!1.What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A.The writer had problems at school.B.The writer was going to be laid off.C.The writer was in low spirits that day.D.The writer couldn’t meet the work challenges.2.What do the underlined words “the shift” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Changing her job.B.Moving her car.C.Making a choice.D.Changing her mood.3.Why did the writer smile when she saw the two license plates?A.Because they helped her make an informed choice.B.Because they showed personality of car owners.C.Because they were what she was looking for.D.Because they reflected the truth of life.4.What Chinese idiom can you think of after reading the story?A.Time waits for no man.B.Life is just like a mirror.C.Great minds think alike.ughter is the best medicine.5.One day, the sewer line(污水管道)under my house burst. My first response was to call the plumber, but when he heard what had happened, he said he couldn’t help. “We don’t do that,” he said, as if to suggest that even plumbers have their dignity. He did, however, recommend someone. I made the call, expecting the man to complain a t such a miserable job. Instead, he simply asked, “The address?”And that was it. An hour later, Steve arrived in his truck. I watched as he walked down into the damp depths. A few moments later he appeared, saying, “Yep. It’s broken.”“Can you fix it?” I asked with a strange mixture of doubt and hope.Steve looked at me strangely as if rebuking my lack of faith, and then said, “Sure.” Then he told me that he had to get a backhoe(反铲挖土机)and dig up the street to the main sewer line.I showed appropriate panic. “How long will all this take?”“I should have it done by evening.”I didn’t want to watch the excavation(挖掘) of my property unfold. All I wanted was to leave, go somewhere, and, upon my return, have everything the way it was before the damage.I felt somewhat guilty upon driving off in my clean car, leaving Steve to sucha disagreeable task. I went into town and visited a few friends. Eventually, around6 p.m., my curiosity got the better of me. I went home, and a sweeter sight I never saw: a patch of newly-paved street and a covered-up excavation across my front garden.I opened the basement door and—all was tidy and relatively dry.I sat down on the back garden, lost in thought. I was taken by the very idea that, whatever crisis might happen to an unlucky homeowner, there is somebody, somewhere, who is practiced in its resolution. If that’s not reason for thankfulness, I’m not sure what is.1.Why did the first plumber reject the author’s request?A.He wanted to protect his dignity.B.He was inexperienced in the job.C.He had another urgent task to do.D.He thought the job was unpleasant.2.What does the underlined word “rebuking” in paragraph 4 mean?A.Admiring.B.Blaming.C.Accepting.D.Neglecting.3.What caused the author to feel upset?A.The fear of Stevens refusal.B.The pressure of having to go out.C.The difficulty of the repair work.D.The effects of the broken sewer line.4.What was the author’s purpose of going into town?A.To remove his negative emotions.B.To avoid doing the excavation work.C.To visit a couple of friends.D.To satisfy his own curiosity.6. In my 30s, I had two kids, a career, a husband and no time for anything else. Then my stepfather called to say he had cancer. Stage four. The words that werecircling in my mind wouldn’t form a sentence. Finally, I said, “I’m sorry. I love you. I will support you as best I can.”It felt as though everything had changed. I needed some control, so I madea list:1. Find chemo-friendly foods2. Make soup and freezer meals3. Find babysitter for hospital visits4. Start guitar lessonsI know, the last item seems strange, but in that moment, my soul reached through my body and wrote the words, “start guitar lessons”.My stepfather played the guitar his entire life. It was his way to relax. After work he would sit on the couch, pick up his guitar and let the stress of the day fade away. He wasn’t a performer but he did perform once, for me, as a gift at my wedding.I rented a guitar and started taking lessons. When my stepfather was allowed to leave the hospital, I brought my guitar to his house. As he lay in bed, I’d show him what I’d learned and play bad versions of classic rock songs. Even though I sounded rough, he tapped his feet and listened enthusiastically. Sometimes,I would “conveniently” leave my guitar at home in the hopes of being able to play his Martin guitar. It sounded rich and soulful compared to my rental instrument.Five months after his diagnosis, he died. He left me the Martin guitar. I would always pick up the guitar and cry. If only I had started earlier. If only we had longer to play music together. If only. . . Then, one day, I realized that our connection was still alive. When I pull out that Martin, I know I'm not alone.1.Why did the stepfather play the guitar?A.He was a professional performer.B.He always played for weddings.C.He loved it as a stress reliever.D.He wanted to teach his stepdaughter.2.Which of the following statements about the author is wrong according to the story?A.She felt at a loss when learning her stepfathers cancer.B.She didn't play well at the beginning of learning to play the guitar.C.She often forgot to take her guitar and left it at home.D.Her stepfather showed his great support though she didn't play well.3.What’s the author’s intention of writing the story?A.To share with the readers her saddest story.B.To inform the learners how to play the guitar.C.To persuade daughters to love their fathers.D.To memorize her connection with her stepfather.7.20-year-old Maya shared her story recently. 15 years ago Maya's mother took her to live in her country of birth--Sierra Leone. It was around four months for their stay in Sierra Le-one when Maya fell sick and needed to return to the U.S. for treatment. But at the time, her mother Zee Sesay couldnt return with her daughter for family reasons. Sesay rushed her daughter to the airport desperate to find someone traveling to the u. s. She asked the person working at the check to direct her to someone flying to the U.S.The employee resisted at first, saying it was against the airlines policy to provide that in-formation. But Sesay managed to talk the staff member into directing her toward a man. She now had to convince the man to take her daughter with him on the flight. At first he said no But with some begging, the man finally agreed.While maya has only vague(模糊的) memories of that day, she recalled that there was a lot of chaos and crying nonstop on the plane. She also remembered that the man sang to her to get her to stop crying. "I remember he never lost patience, Maya recalled. The plane soon landed at the Washington Dulles International Airport, where her grandmother was waiting.It wasnt until the kind man handed Maya over to her grandmother that she finally felt safe.Six years ago Sesay told the story to her cousin who said she had a former colleague, Tor Perriello, who told her a similar story. This was the first time Sesay had heard this man's name and immediately made contact with him. When he replied to the email, it turned out that he was the man, who, unfortunately, had planned to attend but finallymissed his own grandmothers funeral because of his kind act.

The weather is fine so a bout of (一次) fishing is in order, followed by lunch cooked on an open fire. Homework and classes? Indefinitely dismissed.“We are called a school but we look nothing like any school out there，”　s ays JoeyMoncarz, cofounder and head teacher at Deep Green Bush School. “We don't do things like telling kids it is time to write or learn math. When they are interested in doing it, they do it.Moncarz is an exmainstream teacher. After five disappointing years in mainstreamschools in New Zealand he quit to found Deep Green Bush School, which has a roll of eight,and no classroom walls, time out chairs (罚坐椅) or tests.Concerned that mainstream schools were not preparing children for the global problemsof the future —　such as climate change —　Moncarz imagined a totally different kind ofeducation, rooted in the primal skills of hunting, gathering and survival. If the weather allows,pupils spend the majority of their day outdoors, exploring the New Zealand bush, learning tofish and hunt, trapping possums and learning about the plants and animals of their home. Themore traditional school skills, such as reading, writing and arithmetic, are acquired at theirown pace, after they begin showing an interest in them.“We don't have what you'd traditionally consider problem kids，” says Moncarz. “Ourparents saw their kids were unhappy and stressed in mainstream education and they startedquestioning: Is it normal or right for kids to come home stressed and unhappy? Having taughtin a mainstream school, I'd say most kids are stressed and unhappy.”Bush School is registered with the Ministry of Education as an independent school, andtherefore does not have to abide_by the standard New Zealand curriculum, although it issubject to ministerial regulation.Inspired by the Sudbury Valley School in the US, which in turn was inspired by A. S.Neill's Summerhill School in the UK, since launching in January Moncarz has been fieldingrequests from around New Zealand and abroad to open chapters of Bush School in places asfar a field as China and Europe.Moncarz insists that the school isn't an “experiment” in education, and is based on two million years of evidence of how parents have raised their kids, at one with nature.want to be one of a kind. We want to replace mainstream schools，” said Moncarz.1．What can the students do in Deep Green Bush School?A．Learn more practical living skills.B．Attend more diverse athletic contests.C．Study traditional courses more effectively.D．Join in environmental protection more actively.2．Why did Moncarz set up Deep Green Bush School?A．To help problem kids.B．To reduce parents' burden.C．To reform the traditional school system.D．To conduct an educational experiment.3．What does the underlined part “abide by” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A．Obey. B．Assess.C．Monitor. D．Replace.4．What is the education system of Deep Green Bush School like?A．Unpractical and rigid.B．Unsatisfactory but strict.C．Unremarkable but fruitful.D．Unconventional and popular.任务型阅读In workplaces and families across the world, people tend to communicate on the Internet.We send endless emails; we video chat rather than travel across the town to meet. Actually,sitting down and interacting with someone in person can seem like a rare luxury nowadays.But as technology develops, are we losing our ability to connect and empathize (移情) withothers?Empathy is the ability to feel another person’s emotions and understand his/her views. In the past few decades, r esearchers have emphasized our ability to literally read others. Thetheirway we usually try to detect other people’s emotions is through their facial expressionseyes in particular. We are told that “the eyes are the windows of the soul, and eye contact is certain critical in empathy.However, empathy relies on more than reading facial expressions. New researchsuggests our voice can greatly help us connect. A new study by Michael Kraus from YaleUniversity has found that our sense of hearing may be even stronger than our sight when itcomes to accurately detecting people’s emotions. In other words, you may be able to sense someone’s emotional state even better over the phone than in person. Kraus conducted threeexperiments to arrive at the conclusion. In all these experiments, the participants gave the best performance when they only heard peoples voices (compared to when they looked at facial expressions alone, or looked at facial expressions and heard voices).In several follow-up studies, Kraus directed his attention to why the voice is such a powerful mode of empathy. He asked the participants to discuss a difficult work situation over a video conferencing platform using either just the microphone or the microphone andthe video. Once again, the participants were more accurate at detecting people's emotions in voice-only calls. When we only listen to the voice, he found, we simply focus more on the nuances (细微差别) as the speakers express themselves.How can we get better at interpreting emotions in the voices of our coworkers and loved ones? There isn’t much research so far exploring this question specifically. One study on babies, cries suggested that parents with more musical training were better at distinguishing cries of distress from other types of cries. But, really, we might not need much training. Kraus found that, once you remove other inputs (like facial expressions), your attention naturally sharpens when it comes to voice messages. B esides, the human ability to catch nuances in voices may have offered a strong evolutionary advantage to our ancestors, which helped ensure survival.You’re more emotionally on the phoneA question to answer ●Nowadays (1)▲　communication has gained greatpopularity, which dramatically (2) ▲　real-life interactions.In such a situation, can we still connect and empathize with others?A (3) ▲　belief about empathy ●Humans tend to understand what other people are (4)▲　bydetecting their facial expressions, especially from their eyes.A new study about empathy ●The new study was (5)▲　on three experiments, whichsuggested that the participants were most (6) ▲　in detecting people's emotions when they only heard their voices.A(n) (7) ▲　of the new study ●The voice is a powerful mode of empathy, because it makes pe o plestay (8) ▲　on the voice messages.Other discoveries ●According to a study on babies' cries, musical training is a (9)▲　to better ability to listen for empathy.●The ability to listen was an important reason why our ancestors wereable to (10) ▲　.参考答案完形填空【语篇导读】Hayden 上大学时，签署了捐献骨髓自愿书，没想到一年以后，救了一位一岁女孩儿的性命。
