体裁:记叙文话题:助人为乐时间:15分钟On a cold winter day,a group of strangers band together to save three children.The 30 miles of switchbacks(急转弯) that snake through the pinecovered mountains of Logan Canyon in Utah are enough to make most drivers' hands sweat.But Roger Andersen,a 46yearold father of four,wasn't expecting any trouble on the road last New Year's Eve,when he set off for an unexpected ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nin eyearold daughter Mia,fouryearold son Baylor,and nineyearold neighbor KenyaWildman.Andersen had driven through the canyon hundreds of times over the years.“We ski in that area at least 20 times a year,” says Andersen.“I know the spots that ice up a lot in the winter.”The weather was glorious for hitting the slopes—30 degrees and sunny—but the higher they drove,the slicker(滑溜溜的) the roads became.Rounding a sharp turn at mile maker 473,Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and tapped his brakes(刹车) suddenly.In an instant,the Honda Accord was sliding at 25 miles per hour toward the shoulder of the highway,then slipping down a steep tenfoot embankment(路堤) toward the cold Logan River.As it hit the water,the car tipped toward the passenger side,hesitated,and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river. There was no time to tell the kids what to do.The crash had broken a few windows,and within seconds,the cab of the upsidedown car was filled with water.“It was frightening how fast we we re completely underwater,” remembers Andersen,a softspoken product development manager.“You're thinking,‘Is this how it's all going to end?'”Then,Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids.Mia had been right next to him in the front seat;now,in the blackness,he couldn't find her.“I thought,if I don't get out,maybe none of us is going to get out.” Andersen untied his seat belt,swam through a broken window,and gasped for air at the surface.That's when he saw a group of men,about ten in all,appear at the top of the embankment.One after another,they jumped into the water,shouting,“Who else is in the car?”Andersen says respectfully,“It was like the sight of angels.”【语篇导读】Andersen的车不幸落入冰冷的河水中,一群素昧平生的人对车里的人展开了一场生死营救……1.Which word can best describe the feelings of most drivers when driving on this slope?A.Nervous.

一轮复习最新高考英语阅读理解专题练习(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Have you ever imagined what it would be like to see the world through an animal's eyes? For example, what a chimpanzee sees as it sits at the top of a tree, or a penguin's view as it dives into the sea to catch its dinner?These questions are answered in the nature documentary Animals with Cameras, produced by the BBC. The three-part series was first aired in the UK last month. To explore animal stories "told" by the animals themselves, the documentary's filmmakers worked with scientists to develop cameras that wild animals could wear."Never before have we seen such high-quality footage (连续镜头)directly from the animal's point of view, " BBC Nature executive producer Fred Kaufman told PBS." This miniseries greatly expands our comprehension of animal behavior and this camera technology opens up new possibilities for discovering so much more."Indeed, the groundbreaking technology provides a new viewpoint of the animal kingdom. New cameras with enough battery life to shoot for hours at a time were designed to be comfortable enough for animals to wear, according to the documentary's camera designer Chris Watts.The technical challenges didn't stop there. Some animals were very curious about the equipment, with some even fighting each other for the chance to wear a camera. In the case of chimpanzees, "we had to create dummy (仿造的)cameras, so that every chimpanzee could get one", the miniseries' wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan told Live Science.For animals that were comfortable enough to be with human beings, the cameras could be fitted and removed by hand. But for others, the cameras came off automatically using a timed release and were collected afterward. This meant that the cameras needed to be as tough as possible.To avoid disturbing the animals, scientists who were good at dealing with wildlife came to help by putting the cameras on the animals." The last thing we want to do is cause them distress." the documentary's producer Dan Rees told the BBC. "To follow an animal in the first place, there had to be a clear benefit in terms of knowledge about it that might be useful to protecting a species in the future.Their efforts certainly paid off. " Footage that captures (捕捉)these rare and exciting glimpses of animals bidden habits is important to scientists, but documentaries like Animals with Cameras also resonate with (引起共鸣)audiences, connecting them with the beauty - and danger - of wildlife in their natural environments," Live Science noted.(1)According to the text, Animals with Cameras .A.is a documentary made by wildlife expertsB.presents high-quality footage of animals for the first timeC.shows wildlife from the unique viewpoint of animalsD.mainly records the life of chimpanzees and penguins(2)The case of chimpanzees is used to .A.reflect the weakness of the camera technologyB.present how filmmakers put cameras on chimpanzeesC.explain why chimpanzees were attracted by the equipmentD.show how filmmakers dealt with the challenges in shooting(3)To avoid disturbing the animals, filmmakers .A.set up a protected area for them to live inB.invited scientists to help equip them with camerasC.made the cameras look like animals in disguiseD.fitted and removed the cameras by hand(4)The author's attitude toward the documentary can be described as .A.changingB.supportiveC.cautiousD.pessimistic【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)B(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了研究人员使用最新的相机技术,让人们从动物的视角看世界。

The arugula (芝麻菜) was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a dinner invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out.In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, “food waste goes against the moral grain,” as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month's cover story. It's jawdropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away—from “ugly”(but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, “if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”If that's hard to understand, let's keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time—but for him, it's more like 12 boxes of donated strawberries nearing their last days. Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington, D.C., which recovers food and turns itinto healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished (有瑕疵的) produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries? Volunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.Such methods seem o bvious, yet so often we just don't think. “Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won't eat,” Curtin says.4.What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story?A.We pay little attention to food waste.B.We waste food unintentionally at times.C.We waste more vegetables than meat.D.We have good reasons for wasting food.5.What is a consequence of food waste according to the text?A.Moral decline.B.Environmental harm.C.Energy shortage.D.Worldwide starvation.6.What does Curtin's company do?A.It produces kitchen equipment.B.It turns rotten arugula into clean fuel.C.It helps local farmers grow fruits.D.It makes meals out of unwanted food.7.What does Curtin suggest people do?A.Buy only what is needed.B.Reduce food consumption.C.Go shopping once a week.D.Eat in restaurants less often.Ⅲ.书面表达[2024·全国乙卷]学校英文报组织同学们共享自己在假期中学到的新技能,请你以此为主题写一篇短文投稿。

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校2019高考英语一轮阅读理解选练(2)李仕才AA new “smart bin” could mean the end of environment-conscious families spending hours sorting tins, cartons, bottles, and cardboard for recycling.The invention, which can help sort rubbish into recycling categories without needing people to operate. It is being trialed in Poland and is set to go on sale in UK within a few years.The bin, designed by start-up company Bin.E, recognizes different type of waste via a system positioned inside the bin which uses sensors, image recognition and artificial intelligence. Once waste is placed inside, the camera and sensor identify its type and place it in one of the smaller bins. Then it compresses the waste so it occupies less space.It is thought that the bin could be stocked by department stores such as John Lewis, which said it is introducing more new hi-tech recycling bins. Matt Thomas, a buyer at John Lewis, gave us the reason, “We’ve recently seen a jump in specialist bins sales, with a 25 percent increase in the last few months alone. We have noticed our customers are becoming more and more focused on sustainability. In response to this demand, we are really excited to introduce a smart bin this autumn/winter season-designed to make recycling more efficient and functional for the everyday home."Bin. E’s official release on the market will take place in 2018. However, at first only a larger version designed for offices will be available. The office bin wil l sell at £ 430 while customers will need to pay a £ 107 subscription fee for an accompanying smartphone app, which hooks them up with collection services. A spokesman at Bin. E said that home version of the bin will be cheaper and will not include a monthly payment.They added: “After the office version, we plan to create an outdoor version and later the home version. We decided to go for the outdoor version for public areas first because it is more difficult to organize an efficient waste segregating syst em than in our homes.”1.What do we know about about a new “smart bin” from the first paragraph?A. It works automatically.B. It has been used widely.C. It is easy to operate.D. It is very expensive.2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 r efer to?A. The waste.B. The camera.C. The bin.D. The sensor.3.Why is John Lewis introducing more new hi-tech recycling bins?A. To change people’s behaviour,B. To satisfy increasing demands.C. To popularize new technology.D. To make them more famous.4.Where will the first version of new “smart bin” be used according to Bin. E’s official?A. At home.B. In the supermarket.C. In the open air.D. In the office.【文章大意】本文介绍了一款可以智能分类垃圾的“智能垃圾箱”。
