限时训练(八) 阅读理解(建议用时:30分钟总分:50分)AHomesick is a compound word made up of HOME and SICK.You know what each word means on its own,of course.But think about what the words mean when they are used together.Homesick means SICK FOR HOME.Now think for a minute about SEASICK.If you change the word home in the definition(释义)to the word sea,would the definition fit SEASICK? Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA.When you are homesick,the only place you want to be is at home.When you are seasick,the last place you want to be is at sea.Have you ever heard of a person being heartsick? Heartsick doesn t mean that something is wrong with a person s heart.People are heartsick when they are hurt deep inside and when they feel as if their hearts are broken.But,on the other hand,we have such compound words as handshake,handstand,and handbag.Perhaps you may write definitions for them.( )1.The word SEASICK means“”.A.to be eager to go to the seaB.what has nothing to do with the seaC.to be sick because of the seaD.that the sea is terrible( )2.When we say a person is heartsick,we mean that .A.his heart is sickB.his heart needs testingC.he s sorry at heartD.he s terribly disappointed and sad( )3.“The last place you want to be” is .A.where you want to be mostB.where you want to be leastC.where you go the lastD.the last place you go to( )4.The definitions of handshake,handstand and handbag are .A.easy to knowB.difficult to knowC.impossible to learnD.unnecessary to learn( )5.The author wanted to tell us that .A.there are many compound words in EnglishB.the building of compound words is interestingC.the definitions of some compound words are hard to guessD.not all the compound words are what they seem to beBWhen your pen is broken,the battery(电池)in your toy runs out,or you have some leftover(吃剩的) food,what do you do with these things?You will probably throw them all into one bin.But actually,all kinds of rubbish need to be sorted(分类) separately.Rubbish sorting is a big issue(议题) worldwide.In recent years,some Chinese cities have been working hard on it.Shanghai has worked with Alipay to create a“green account(账户)”ser vice for its residents(居民).Account holders get points by sorting their rubbish correctly.Through the Alipay app,they can exchange the points for milk,phone cards and other products.The city is asking all of its residents to sort their rubbish into four groups:wet,recyclable,harmful and dry.Wet waste is also known as householdwaste.Paper,metal and glass are recyclable waste.Medicine and batteries are harmful waste.Finally,any waste that s not wet,recyclable or harmful will go in the“drywaste”bin.Many othe r Chinese cities are also doing this.Shenzhen has been sorting its rubbish into the same four groups since 2012.Students there must study waste-sorting guidebooks.If you don t sort your rubbish,it will go to a landfill(垃圾填埋场) and be buried together.These landfills can take up large areas of ground.Some rubbish can pollute the soil and groundwater and it can also do harm to the environment around us.China is improving its waste-sorting efforts.There is still a long way to go.( )1.How should we deal with all kinds of rubbish?A.We can throw them all into one bin.B.We can sort them separately.C.We can throw them away freely.D.We can reuse them all.( )2.How is Shanghai encouraging people to sort their rubbish?A.By creating a “green account”service with the help of Alipay.B.By paying people to sort their rubbish correctly.C.By allowing people to exchange rubbish with each other.D.By providing its residents with guidebooks to help them.( )3.Which of the following things belong to harmful waste?A.Leftover food and bakeries.B.Metal and medicine.C.Batteries and medicine.D.Paper and glass.( )4.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.Where we can bury our waste.B.Why we should sort our rubbish properly.C.What kinds of waste can pollute the environment.D.How some kinds of waste can be reused and recycled.( )5.What do we know about rubbish sorting in China?A.Shenzhen has been sorting its rubbish for 10 years.B.All the students have to take waste-sorting classes at school.C. As for rubbish sorting, we Chinese still have much work to do.D. Burying is the only way of dealing with rubbish.CWhen you cough or sneeze,you d better turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand.And then,you should say,“Excuse me.”This seems so simple,but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this.Actually,I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth.One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze orcough on their hands,they should wash their hands as soon as possible.If not,they will be passing those germs (细菌) along to everything and everyone they touch.If you come to a door and someone is following you,hold the door.If the door opens by pulling,pull it open,stand to the side,and allow the other person to pass throughfirst,then you can walk through.If the door opens by pushing,hold the door after you pass through.After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people,I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students.Teaching them small acts of kindness,such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open,may seem unimportant,but it can go a long way toward helping students realize how to be polite and thank others.Once they ve been told,they re halfway there.When we have to go up moving stairs,we will stand to the right.That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs.When we are going to enter a lift,the underground,or a doorway,we will wait for others to exit before we enter.After college when I moved to London,I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways.I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan.In both places,people made efforts to make way for others.On moving stairs,everyone stood to the right and walked to the left.On lifts,everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter.( )1.When you cough or sneeze,you shouldn t .A.touch everythingB.pass the germs to othersC.point out to the kidsD.A.B.C( )2.If you come to a door and someone is following you,you d better .A.hold the doorB.pass throughC.close the doorD.stand to the side( )3.Why should we stand to the right of moving stairs?A.Because it s dangerous to stand to the left.B.Because it s a traffic rule which we must follow.C.Because we must wait for others to move first.D.Because we should make way for people in a hurry.( )4.From the passage we can know the writer is a .A.doctorB.travelerC.studentD.teacher( )5.The passage is mainly about .A.the rules of acts in publicB.the ways of communication in publicC.the good manners of thanking othersD.the knowledge of social lifeDAlfredo Moser is a Brazilian worker who is skilled at repairing machines.His wife says her husband has always been handy at home and made tables and chairs.Alfredo has invented a way of lighting his house during the day without electricity.He has been using plastic bottles filled with water and a little bleach(漂白剂) to provide dark rooms with light for many years.And the idea has now spread across the world.It is predicted that his lighting system,which works using refraction(折射) of the sunlight,will be fitted in over a million homes by the end of this year.Alfredo used normal plastic drinks bottles that are often thrown away.The secret of the water in the bottles is the bleach added to water,which stops it turning green in the sunlight.Mr.Moser drills a hole in a roof tile and then pushes the bottle in frombelow,keeping the bottle in place with polyester resin (聚酯树脂).Depending on the strength of sunlight,the light fills his home,and the bottles are just like electric bulbs of between 40 and 60 watts.Alfredo came up with the idea for his “Moser light” during one of the blackouts in Brazil in 2002.He said only factories had power in his home city,in southern Brazil during the energy shortage.The local supermarket and his neighbors houses are using Moser lights.He earned a few dollars,but his invention has not made him a rich man.Now a great number of people admire what he is doing!( )1.What did Alfredo s wife think of him?A.He was always busy repairing machines.B.He couldn t do any housework.C.He was clever with his hands.D.He is a helpful man to save our world.( )2.The reason Alfredo put a little bleach into the bottle is .A.because the bottle can give more lightB.because the bleach can keep the bottle in a roof tileC.because the bleach can protect water from turning greenD.because the bleach can give out the sunlight( )3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.People can use Moser s lights only at night.B.Moser s light gives too poor light.C.Moser s bottles use electricity to light the room.D.Moser s bottle light is a green idea.( )4.The underlined word “blackouts” in the passage probably means “ ”.A.地震B.停电C.旱灾D.洪涝(

高考英语专题突破阅读理解限时精练1.doc

阅读理解限时训练与解析A（5minutes）I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed（解散）. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized（强调）the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating （欺骗）themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously（认真地）about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I trie d to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued（继续）to believe that I had cheated on the test.1. The story took place（发生）exactly ____ .A. in the teacher’s officeB. in an exam roomC. in the schoolD. in the language lab2. The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ____ .A. she had not brought a pen with herB. she had lost her own on her way to schoolC. there was something wrong with her ownD. her own had been taken away by someone3.

They think it is part of becoming an adult. They also think drinking is not that bad because so many people do it. They feel it is not as bad as taking drugs (毒品). It is easy for kids to get liquor （酒精饮料）by using fake identification (伪造证件).Parents may start to notice a change in their child’s behavior if the child starts drinking. Kids who drink sometimes stop doing things they normally liked to do. They may keep telephone calls and meetings a secret and not want anybody to touch their things. They act moody (喜怒无常) and do not have the same eating and sleeping habits.Parents need to stay involved (牵涉) in their kids’ lives. They should talk to their children about their problems to be aware of any changes.Parents can be the best protection. Children who get a lot of love can feel good about themselves. It helps them resist（抵抗）doing bad things even when other kids are doing them. Parents can also help set a good example by not drinking and driving. They can have firm rules in the home that everyone follows.Give the children good ideas on how to say “no” to drinking, even when they are at a party. Try not to overreact or panic (惊慌) if the child tries alcohol. How you handle it can affect their attitude. It may be helpful to talk to other parents about setting up curfews (宵禁令) and rules about parties or other events.1.

Sometimes, the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat（闲谈）with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout of appearing to force yourself. Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease（轻松）but the situation is somewhat（一点儿）different from that of anordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.1.When you speak to the class, you should speak ________.A．as loudly as possible B．in a low voiceC．loudly D．forcefullyually, when you speak to the class, the class is __________.A.noisy B．quiet C．having a rest D．serious3.The situation in the class is ________ that in your house.A．not very different from B．sometimes the same asC.．sometimes not the same as D．not the same as4.

Instead, we will buy and read books using computers, which will keep many different books in them at the same time．We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved．Computerized (计算机化的) books will be used more and more．While many people say it is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy．It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly．Maybe computers won’t change these two habits．1.Which is the main idea of this passage?A. People like going shoppingB. Reading books is importantC.

中考英语阅读限时训练100天

中考英语阅读限时训练100天Day 1:Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.In many countries, school children have a long summer vacation. This can last anywhere from one to three months, depending on the country. During this time, children have the opportunity to relax and enjoy their free time.Summer vacation is a time for children to have fun and explore new things. Many children spend their vacation participating in sports, going on trips, or attending summer camps. Some may even use this time to learn a new hobby or skill. It is also a time for family bonding, as some families choose to go on vacations together during this period.However, summer vacation can also be a time when children forget what they have learned in the previous school year. This is known as the "summer slide." Research has shown that students can lose a significant amount of knowledge and skills over the summer break. To prevent this, some schools and parents may provide educational materials or programs to keep students engaged and learning during the vacation.Overall, summer vacation is an important time for children to relax and recharge. However, it is also important for them to continue learning and maintain their knowledge. Finding a balance between rest and education during the vacation period can help students start the new school year on a strong foundation.1. How long can a summer vacation typically last?2. What are some activities children can do during their summer vacation?3. What is the "summer slide"?4. How can students prevent the "summer slide"?5. Why is finding a balance between rest and education important during summer vacation?。

After being mercilessly defeated by a more experienced player, I suggested that we relax for a while. He slipped out of the room and I caught a few moments of peace and quiet.“Look, Alice,” he said enthusiastically as he ran over to the chair where I was recovering. “I found a kite. Could we go outside and fly it?”Glancing out of a nearby window, I noticed there was not a breeze (微风). “I'm sorry, Tripper,”I said, sad to see his disappointed eyes, but thankful for the short period of rest from more activities. “The wind is not blowing today. The kite won’t fly.”The determined 10-year-old replied. “I think it’s windy enough. I can get it to fly,” he answered, as he hurried out through the back door. I peeked through the curtains to watch determination in action. Up and down the yard he ran, pulling the kite attached to a small length of string. The plastic kite, proudly displaying a picture of Batman, remained about shoulder level.He ran back and forth, as hard as his ten-year-old legs would carry him, looking back hopefully at the kite trailing behind. After about ten minutes of unsuccessful determination, he came back in.I asked“How did it go?” “Fine,” he said, “I got it to fly some.” As he walked past me to return the kite to the closet shelf, I heard him say under his breath, “I guess I'll have to wait for the wind.”At that moment I heard another voice speak to my heart. “Alice, sometimes you are just like that. You want to do it your way instead of waiting for the wind.” And the voice was right. We usually want to use our own efforts to accomplish what we want to do. We wait for the wind only after we have done all we can and have exhausted our own strength. We must learn how to rely on Him in the first place!4. The writer didn’t fly the kite with his nephew because she ________.A. wanted to get relaxedB. preferred to stay in peace and quietC. thought the weather was not suitableD. was not so experienced in flying kites5.

Tripper didn’t want to admit defeat.D. Tripper was disappointed with the kite flying.7. What is the best title for the passage?A. Try Your Best.B. Wait for the Wind.C. Fly a Kite in Life.D. Determine to Succeed.CChinese Culture Shown to the World with LoveLi Ziqi, a short video blogger specializing in traditional Chinese cooking and handicrafts, has gained worldwide popularity.Li has about 20 million followers on Sina Weibo, China’s equivalent to Twitter, plus 7 million followers on overseas social media networks. Many foreigners say they have got to know traditional Chinese food culture via her channel.It is the spirit of craftsmanship (技艺) behind her works that makes Li’s video clips attractive. She strictly follows the authentic traditional steps and procedures in making traditional Chinese food and handicrafts, such as peach flower wine and silk, and goes to great lengths to ensure her videos are accurate. Sometimes she spends several months producing one of her videos.Li has been inheriting (继承) traditional Chinese culture in a rather creative way. A closer look at her videos will show that they are never with any “analysis” that makes people feel bored. They just show audiences each and every detail of traditional Chinese culture so that the latter knows how Chinese live their beautiful and elegant lives. It is that universal appeal that makes her works so attractive. Thanks to Li's efforts, many intangible cultural heritages that only existed in memories and written records now appear before our eyes. Via her short videos, Li presents the image of abeautiful and friendly China.With the growth of the Chinese economy, people overseas are showing more interest in traditional Chinese culture. Li has shown how to satisfy that interest in a good way, namely showing the best parts of traditional Chinese culture with her heart.To effectively present the beauty of Chinese culture to the world, we need more Li Ziqi.8. What can we learn about Li Ziqi’s video clips?A. They promote the sales of Chinese food and handicrafts.B. They attract a large number of foreigners to visit her online shop.C. They are based on her family’s recipes of making traditional Chinese food.D. They aim to introduce traditional Chinese food culture and handicrafts worldwide.9.

But it's been a challenge trying to convince cooks to stop rinsing （冲洗）off raw poultry. Germs that can make people sick are common in the guts of healthy poultry and are legally allowed to be on raw turkey and chicken. The assumption is that nobody eats their poultry raw, and that thorough cooking will kill the bacteria.The do—not—wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasn't caught on because it goes against the common belief that washing makes things clean, said Chapman. Benjamin Chapman, a study author and food safety expert at North Carolina State University, said the instinct to wash raw poultry goes back at least decades when people relied more on visual clues to spot problems with poultry. Meanwhile, washing hands and surfaces are also important.But food preparation is a complicated act, and germs from poultry can be spread even if it'snot washed, especially when birds are removed from packaging.The USDA-funded study stresses that point. Researchers sprayed raw chicken with a harmless strain of E. coli （大肠杆菌）and watched volunteer cooks at test kitchens. Among those who washed their raw chicken, about a quarter ended up spreading the bacteria to their lettuce. But even some of those who did not rinse the chicken got germs on the lettuce. And there are other opportunities for germs to survive on turkeys: melting and cooking.To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked, they say to use a thermometer to check that the deepest and thickest parts of it have reached 165 degrees. Even after the meal is cooked, you aren't out of the danger zone. To keep turkeys and other leftovers safe, experts say they should be refrigerated after two hours.12. Why don't people accept USDA's advice?A. Because the advice is relatively new.B. Because cleaning seems more trustworthy.C. Because cooks clean the turkey before cooking it.D. Because heat can kill most germs and no one eats raw food.13. What can be concluded from Paragraph 4?A. Food packages carry germs.B. Hands and surfaces are easy to get E. coli.C. Germs from a turkey can be spread whether it is washed or not.D. Multiple methods should be applied to food to get rid of germs.14. Which way may help to cook a turkey safely?A. Rinse off the turkey before it is heated.B. Keep the turkey away from the lettuce and refrigerator.C. Wash hands and packages before taking out the turkey.D. Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the turkey.15. From which section of a magazine is the text probably taken?A. Medicine.B. Culture.C. Education.D. Science.第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils (灾祸). People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.60.

People drive straight into their garages, hire lawn services, hang out in their backyards instead of their front porches（前走廊）. These days, neighbors don't even know each other's names.Good neighbors and good friends are a lot like electricity or running water: We don't know how much we depend on them until we don't have them. In fact, the authors of a recent book, Refrigerator Rights, claim that refrigerators are signs of close relationships--after all, you wouldn't snatch a drumstick（鸡腿）from the refrigerator of a stranger.The surprising thing is that all it takes to strengthen your relationship with friends and neighbors is respect for their feelings, concern for their property, and a helping hand when it's needed. Here's how to develop your relationships with two types of vitally important people in your life._________________. A true friend doesn't flee when changes occur. The sign of a good friend is one who stays true through it all--marriage, parenthood, new jobs, new homes, the losses. Just because situations change doesn't mean the person has to.Friendships fade away if there isn't a balance between the give and the take. So make sure you aren't being a burden to your friends. Be sensitive to how much your friend can and can't offer you--be it time, energy, or help -- and don't step over the line. Meanwhile, friendships that drain（耗尽）you will not last. If a friendship is out of balance in this way, you'll need to talk the situation through. 1. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?A true friend will stay the same even when the situations change.2. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with a proper sentence.（Within 10 words）_______________________________________________________________3. What advice is given in the last paragraph?（Within 10 words）_______________________________________________________________4.

高中英语真题：限时训练——阅读理解之议论文

限时训练——阅读理解之议论文1. 【·湖北卷】Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a tempt ation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character,and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation. Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The So cial Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topi cs. The book focuses on big questions: What has science rev ealed about human nature? What are the sources of characte r? And why are some people happy and successful while othe rs aren’t?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of d isciplines（学科）. Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scie ntific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make hi s points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention.So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live throu gh childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of hi s characters.On the whole,Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As on e would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, som e chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, th e chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attemp t to translate his tale into science.1.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginni ng of the passage to__________.A. illustrate where science can be appliedB. demonstrate the value of Brooks’s new bookC. remind the reader of the importance of scienceD. explain why many writers use science in their works2.According to the author, which of the following could be a st rength of the book?A. Its strong basis.B. Its convincing points.C. Its clear writing.D. Its memorable characters.3.What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?A. Contradictory.B. Supportive.C . Cautious.D. Critical.4.What is the author likely to write about after the last paragra ph?A. Problems with the book.B. Brooks’s life experience.C. Death of the characters.D. Brooks’s translation skills.2. 【·陕西】Parents who help their children with homework may actually b e bringing down their school grades. Other forms of prenatal involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent stu dy on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools except them to act as partners in their child ren's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn. Kaith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways pa rents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to decl ines in their academic performance. One of the things that wa s consistently negative was parents' help with homework." Ro binson suggested that may be because parents themselves st ruggle to understand the task." They may either not remembe r the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases ne ver learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do wa s to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20 % of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative a nd the rest statistically insignificant.Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents toget involved because "children with good academic success do have involved parents ", admitted Robinson. But he argue d that this did not prove parental involvement was the root ca use of that success." A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hard ly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveyin g to their children how success at school could improve their li ves."1. The underlined expression "parental involvement " in Parag raph 1 probably means .A. parents' expectation on children's healthB. parents' participation in children's educationC. parents' control over children's lifeD. parents' plan for children's future2. What is the major finding of Robinson's study ?A. Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.B. Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.C. Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.D. Parents are not able to help with children’s homework.3. The example of Asian-American parents implies that parents should .A. help children realize the importance of schoolingB. set a specific life goal for their childrenC. spend more time improving their own livesD. take a more active part in school management3. 【·四川】Across , burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this mo rning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their super market bunches of flowers, But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as＄172,000 a year.The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well a s the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This wo uld make their yearly income ￡30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns.By analysing the numbers, it found the average mother wor ks 119 hours a week,40 of which would usually be paid at a st andard rate and 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,00 0 mothers with children under 18,it found that ,on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm.To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that la bour, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at ￡48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most p rofitable of the “mum jobs”,with psychologist（心理学家）a close second.It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional（情感的） demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and arou nd half said they missed going out with friends.The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional ,physical and mental energy mot hers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happine ss. Investing（投入）in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well s pent.1.How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Pri me Minister?A.￡30,000.B.￡142,000.C.￡172,000.D.￡202,000.2.The biggest challenge for most mothers is from.A. emotional demandB. low pay for workC. heavy workloadD. lack of training3.What is stressed in the last paragraph?A.

He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid. Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen shor t in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It w as usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again. Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgme nt, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they ar e more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he w eighed much less than the average player. “In one game I sud denly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothin g but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet（子弹）— and stopped him cold.”Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Su rely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarant ee of success. But the person who tries to do something and f ails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing a nd succeeds.So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreame d.1. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A. He faced huge risks.B. He lacked mighty forces.C. Fear prevented him from trying.D.

高考英语一轮复习限时阅读训练1

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校高考英语一轮复习限时阅读训练1AOur listener question this week comes from Vietnam. Quang Khoi asks about Murphy’s Law. Murphy’s Law says: “Everything that can possibly go wrong will go wrong.” Like many other popular sayings, it is difficult to find one explanation for it.Those trying to explain Murphy’s Law agree that it began in the United States Air Force, which says the expression was named after officer Edward Murphy. He was an engineer working on a project in space flight research in 1949. One story says Captain Murphy was commenting about the failure of some equipment he was using in an experiment. He reportedly mentioned the worker responsible by saying: “If there is a way to do it wrong, he will find it.” Another official heard this and called it Murphy’s Law.Another story is found in a book called A History of Murphy’s Law by Nick Spark. It says members of the research team working with Captain Murphy created a similar phrase: “If it can happen, it will happen.” They called this Murphy’s L aw. But Spark later said there are in fact many different explanations about who invented the expression.Still, many stories say the first use of the term Murphy’s Law was at a press conference several weeks later. John Stapp was an Air Force captain at the time. He spoke to reporters about the tests completed by Captain Murphy and his team. Stapp said no one was injured during the tests because the Air Force considered “Murphy’s Law” before carrying out their experiments. He said this meant that they considered everything that could go wrong before a test and planned how to prevent those mistakes from happening.Today, you can find examples of Murphy’s Law in everyday life. For example, you might say that if you drop a slice of buttered bread on the floor, it will always land with the buttered side down.41.

2023届高三英语晚自习限时训练

2023届高三英语晚自习限时训练【3月30日晚，限时：不超过65-70分钟】一、阅读理解（一）Located in the tropical forests in Xishuangbanna, southwest China’s Yunnan province, the Asian Elephant Breeding and Rescue Center (AEBRC) is dedicated to giving careful and effective protection to wild elephants.Though the jungles provide rich sources of food and water for the elephants, they can also pose a threat to them if they become ill or injured, making it difficult for them to survive in the wild.In August 2015, a baby elephant that was less than one month old was abandoned by her herd at the d oorway of a farmer’s house in Simiao, Pu’er city. Vets from the AEBRC came and took the animal to their center for treatment. She was found to have intra-abdominal infections and heart failure. She was also at risk of blood poisoning.The baby elephant finally recovered after proper treatment by the keepers at the center. However, without the presence of her mother, she became malnourished (营养不良) due to a lack of breast milk. At that time, she weighed only 76 kilograms, much smaller than an average newborn elephant. The vets decided to feed her goat milk, and as she was born in the Chinese Year of the Goat, the elephant was named Yang Niu (“Yang” is Chinese for goat, and Niu means girl). The elephant is now about 6 years old, 1.8 meters tall and weighs 1.3 tonnes.Currently, there are 11 rescued Asian elephants living at the center and being cared for by 27 keepers, who spend more than 10 hours with them each day. Thanks to these efforts, the population of Asian wild elephants in the province has reached 300 from 150 over the past 30 years.The local government has designated (指派) a place as a source of food for the elephants so that they do less damage to villagers’ crops while looking for food. They’ve also monitored the elephants using technologies such as drones to keep track of their activities and prevent encounters between villagers and the elephants. The local government has also purchased commercial insurance for residents to compensate them if the elephants attack them.；1. What can be a threat to elephants’ survival according to the text?A．Lack of food sources. B．Illegal hunting.C．Physical problems. D．Destruction of forests.；2. What does the example of a baby elephant stress?A．The recovery of Yang Niu.B．The efforts made by keepers.C．The risks facing baby elephants.D．The importance of mother elephants.；3. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 5?A．The number of elephants endangered.B．The urgency of rescuing wild elephants.C．A steady growth of elephant population.D．A rising trend of animal overprotection.；4. Why has the government designated a place for elephants?A．To keep track of their activities.B．To prevent them from damaging crops.C．To save them the trouble of looking for food.D．To ensure the growth of the elephant population.（二）No one can resist the temptation (诱惑) of snacks. But at the same time, you may be underestimating how many calories a snack contains. What would happen if you had a bag of crisps (炸薯片) a day? Eating an extra packet of crisps a day could lead to a weight gain of 6. 35 kg after a year, The Times reported.People underestimate the number of calories in their snacks, with experts warning that eating a bag of crisps every day could lead to a stone of weight gain in a year. A survey of around 2 ,000 adults found that about three quarters underestimated the impact of what a small reduction could have. One in ten believed that cutting 200 calories a day would not affect weight. At the same time, many people didn’t seem to know exactly how many calories were in their snacks. When it came to snacks, people struggled, with 95 percent guessing that half a sharing bag of tortilla chips had 214 calories on average, almost half the true figure of 447.Can’t we resist buying snacks? The food environment is to blame. Even though we all know snacking is bad for our health, we can’t help but fill our shopping carts with snacks.Don’t always blame yourself for poor self- control, and supermarket shelves also have to carry this “pot” half.Hugo Harper, head of Nesta’s health team, said the pressure to resist high-calorie snacks should not be put on consumers and that our food environment needed. to be changed, He said,“Our environment has a real impact on what we eat, from advertisements and supermarket promotions to what ‘s available in our local corner shops.Hugo added,“If we had fewer cues to snacks, or were pushed to buy fewer high calorie snacks, we should be able to see real change.”New rules coming into force next month will restrict promotions on foods high in fat, sugar and salt in big shops.；5. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1?A．List some reasons. B．Introduce the topic.C．Put up an argument. D．Raise a question.；6. What can we know from the survey?A．One in ten people cut 200 calories a day.B．Many people knew how many snacks they ate.C．No one knew the calories the snacks contained.D．Most people lacked the awareness of snacks’ impact.；7. What may cause people to buy more snacks according to the text?A．The food environment. B．Living conditions. C．Consumption ability. D．Supermarket management.；8. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?A．A packet of crisps contains many caloriesB．People can resist the temptation of snacksC．The harm of snacks is beyond your imaginationD．2,000 adults got involved in a consumption survey二、七选五阅读Have you had a talk with someone, and think you are paying attention to him or her, only to realize shortly afterwards that you can’t remember what he said? Oh, perhaps you fail to focus while he is speaking and miss the message that he is trying to deliver. 9 : TVs, radios, traffic noises, telephones, laptops and so on which can make it difficult to listen with our full attention.But how can we listen more effectively? 10 . Professor Jon Kabat-Zinn said, “It’s time for mindful listening to come in. Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way, with a purpose, at the present moment and non-judgmentally.”11 ? Jon Kabat-Zinn describes three key elements of mindful listening that we can use to improve our listening skills.First of all, be present. When we listen mindfully, our focus should be on the person we are listening to without distractions. 12 . By doing so, we can understand a situation from someone else’s point of view. After all, we often see the world through our own experiences. Finally, listen to our own cues. Our cues are the thoughts, feelings and physical reactions that we have when we feel anxious or angry, and they can hold back ideas and perspe ctives that we’re uncomfortable with. Mindful listening can help us to be more aware of our cues. 13 .In conclusion, the rule is straightforward: simply “Listen”! Listen carefully and attentively. Pay full attention to the other person, and don’t l et other thoughts, like what we are going to say next, distract us.A．Then think in others’ shoesB．Researchers seem to have got itC．How can we deal with mindful listeningD．Modem life is actually full of distractionsE．But how can we apply mindful listening to our lifeF．Next, reflect on the experience you’ve gone throughG．Besides, it allows us to choose not to let them ruin communication三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

高中高考英语时文阅读限时训练四篇

时文阅读限时训练四篇AOn Sept. 12, 2023, Apple made an announcement. It said it will use the USB-C connector for all its new iPhone 15 models. This is a big deal. It means that all new iPhones will have the same connector. USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. The C refers to the third type. It follows types A and B.The USB Implementers Forum is made up of over 1,000 companies. They promote and support USB technology. The group developed the USB-C connector. It replaces the older USB connectors. It also replaces other types of ports. These include HDMI, DisplayPort and VGA. The aim is to create a single, universal connector for a wide range of devices.The key features and benefits of USB-C include a reversible connector. You can insert it in either orientation. It also allows some cables to have the same connector on both ends for connecting between devices and connecting devices to chargers, unlike most earlier USB and Lightning cables.USB-C's widespread adoption in the electronics industry is likely to lead to a universal standard. This reduces the need for multiple types of cables and adapters. Also, its slim and compact shape allows manufacturers to make thinner and lighter devices.Connectors use a variety of data transfer protocols. These are sets of rules for formatting and handling data. The latest USB protocol is version 4. It provides a data transfer rate of up to 40 gigabits per second. This depends on the rating of the cable. The latest Thunderbolt, also on version 4, supports up to 40 gigabits-persecond data transfer and 100 watts charging.Why USB-C mattersDue to the fragmented nature of technology evolution, computer users a decade ago were struggling. They had too many connectors: USB for data; power cables for charging; HDMI or DisplayPort or VGA for video; and Ethernet for internet. This called for an industrywide effort to convergence on an all-purpose connector. Since itsintroduction in 2014, USB-C has gained widespread popularity. It has already become the connector of choice for most non-Apple devices. Apple converted the iPad Pro to USB-C in 2018. Now, it is doing the same for the best selling Apple device, the iPhone. Some market forecasts suggest there will be close to 4 billion USB-C connector sales by 2025 and 19 billion by 2033.1. Which organization developed the USB-C connector?A. The European Union.B. The USB Implementers Forum.C. Apple Inc.D. The USB Consortium.2. What was the goal of developing the USB-C connector by the USB Implementers Forum?A. To replace all USB connectors with USB-C.B. To promote Thunderbolt technology exclusively.C. To create a universal connector for various devices.D. To develop a connector for Apple devices.3. What is the key feature of USB-C mentioned in the text?A. It requires adapters for most devices.B. It is larger and heavier than previous connectors.C. It has a reversible connector.D. It supports only Apple devices.4. When was USB-C introduced to the market?A. 2014.B. 2023.C. 2033.D. 2018.5. According to market forecasts, how many USB-C connector sales are expected by 2033?A. 1 billion.B. 19 billion.C. 4 billion.D. 10 billion.答案: 1. B, 2. C, 3. C, 4. A, 5. BBHangzhou dishes are one of the eight great cuisines of China. They are noted for their seasonal ingredients, elaborate preparation, sophisticated cooking techniques, and refreshing taste. A trip to Hangzhou isn't complete without trying some of its speciality dishes. Here are a few must-try meals. Each of them has an age old story.Dongpo Pork (red-braised pork belly)The dish was named after a Song Dynasty (960-1279) poet and official, Su Dongpo. When Su was banished to Hangzhou, he initiated a thorough dredging of West Lake. This had great benefits for the locals. To express their gratitude, they gifted Su a lot of pork. Su added his own twist to the traditional cooking process of braised pork belly. He added yellow wine and stewed it on low heat. He distributed the dish to those who worked on the project. It became widely favored.West Lake Carp in Vinegar GravyLegend has it that two brothers surnamed Song lived in Hangzhou. The elder brother was murdered by a local villain. In desperation and fear for his safety, the younger brother was forced into exile. During his farewell dinner, his recently widowed sister-in-law cooked a dish. It was both sweet and sour. She was implying that the young Song should "not forget the salt amid the sweet". The younger brother later returned as a high ranking official, avenged his brother's murder, and sought out his sister. The dish has been handed down from generation to generation.Sister Song's Fish SoupDuring the Song Dynasty, a woman nicknamed Sister Song settled down alongside West Lake. She made a living selling fish soup. On a trip to West Lake, Emperor Gaozong tasted her fish soup and spoke very highly of it. The soup's reputation spread far and wide, and it became a calling card for the city.Sauteed Shrimps with Longjing TeaThe story of this dish relates to Emperor Qianlong. He ruled from 1644-1911. On an excursion to Hangzhou, one of his chefs accidentally dropped Longjing tea leaves into the sauteed shrimp. The lingering fragrance of the tea combined with the divine texture of the shrimp won him over. A classic Hangzhou dish was born.1. Which dish is named after the Song Dynasty poet and official Su Dongpo?A. Sauteed Shrimps with Longjing Tea.B. Dongpo Pork.C. West Lake Carp in Vinegar Gravy.D. Sister Song's Fish Soup.2. What story is associated with the dish "West Lake Carp in Vinegar Gravy"?A. It was named after a famous fisherman in Hangzhou.B. The younger brother, forced into exile, received a farewell dinner from his sister-in-law with a sweet and sour dish.C. It was a favorite dish of the Emperor Qianlong.D. It was invented by a local villain.3. How did "Sauteed Shrimps with Longjing Tea" come into existence?A. It was created by a famous tea merchant in Hangzhou.B. A chef accidentally dropped Longjing tea leaves into sauteed shrimp during Emperor Qianlong's excursion.C. The dish was inspired by a poem about tea.D. It was a traditional dish that dates back to the Song Dynasty.4. What common theme runs through the stories behind these Hangzhou dishes?A. Hangzhou dishes are known for their spicy flavors.B. Each dish has an age-old story or legend associated with its creation or popularity.C. All the dishes were named after famous historical figures.D. The dishes are all vegetarian.5. What does the word "excursion" mean in the sentence "On an excursion to Hangzhou, one of theemperor's chefs accidentally dropped Longjing tea leaves into the sauteed shrimp."?A. Experience.B. Talk.C. Trip.D. Boat.答案: 1. B, 2. B, 3. B, 4. B, 5. CCSome of the oldest known poems do not have a named author. Researchers believe this might be because early poems were sung and passed on through the sharing of stories. They were sometimes chanted or even used as prayers. Caedmon's Hymn is often considered the oldest surviving English poem. It was written in the late 7th century – more than 1,300 years ago. The first word is "nu" – which means "now". It instantly grabs the reader's attention.Fast-forward a few centuries, and poets such as William Shakespeare (1564–1616), William Blake (1757–1827) and Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861) wrote poems that captured the imagination of generations of readers. Poems during these eras usually rhymed, but not always. John Agard (born 1949) Benjamin Zephaniah (born in 1958) and Grace Nichols (born in 1950) are modern poets. They have combined their own Caribbean cultural heritage with life in Britain to write their own interesting and thought-provoking poetry about their experiences and observations. Their poetry is widely studied in schools by students across the country.Why does poetry matter?Poetry can be an important tool for self-expression. 66.5% of children found that writing poetry helped them cope with the difficulties of lockdown. A report carried out in 2020 found that poetry was the most usual way for 11 to 16-year-olds to discover writing from African and Asian cultures. This supports the organisers' belief that poetry can build understanding between cultures and people. Having a special day every year dedicated to poetry helps families, children, communities and schools share their poems and have their voices heard. It also keeps the need for poetry alive.What does "refuge" mean to you?Jay Bhadricha is one of the day's leaders. He describes refuge as a "shelter from the storm, it's an escape, it is a hug from someone you love and it is found in abundance in poetry". Some might find refuge in their family's past. They might write poetry about that, or even in the act of writing poetry itself. Others might seek refuge in their hobbies, and put pen to paper to share them. Refugees (people who have fled war and danger to make a home elsewhere) and those who have welcomed them might write about the experiences, too. The word "refuge" comes from a French word meaning "to flee". People might write about leaving something behind or rushing towards the future. The poet and author Michael Rosen wrote a poem called On the Move Again from Somewhere. It says, "Take the train. Catch a plane. Make the trip. Ina ship... home is where you find it. "1. What is suggested as a possible reason why some of the oldest known poems didn't have namedauthors?A. Authors intentionally remained anonymous.B. They were passed on through storytelling and song.C. Authors were not recognized in ancient times.D. The concept of authorship didn't exist then.2. When was "Caedmon's Hymn," often considered the oldest surviving English poem, written?A. In the 16th century.B. In the late 7th century.C. In the 18th century.D. More than 2,300 years ago.3. What does the text suggest about the role of poetry in building understanding between cultures?A. Poetry can build understanding between cultures and people.B. Poetry creates barriers between cultures.C. Poetry has no impact on cultural understanding.D. Poetry is mainly focused on promoting cultural differences.4. How does Jay Bhadricha describe the concept of "refuge" in relation to poetry?A. "A challenge, a mystery, and a distant journey."B. "A place to hide from danger, away from one's loved ones."C. "A feeling of sadness and loss."D. "Shelter from the storm, an escape, a hug from someone you love."5. What is the origin of the word "refuge," as mentioned in the text?A. It has no specific origin mentioned in the text.B. It is derived from a Latin word meaning "home."C. It comes from a French word meaning "to flee."D. It originates from an ancient Greek term.答案: 1. B, 2. B, 3. A, 4. D, 5. CDClimate Change Is Changing the Color of the OceanClimate change is reshaping the surface of the Earth — even down to the color of the oceans. A new study says that more than half the world's ocean area is "becoming greener." The trend is connected to human-caused global warming.It's not clear what is driving the greening. In some places, it could indicate changes in the amount of plankton or other organic material floating in the water. Plankton are a cornerstone of the ocean food chain. These kinds of shifts could have ripple effects throughout the entire marine ecosystem. That's a topic for future research. For now, the researchers can say for sure that the oceans are changing colors. And climate change is to blame.The study was published Wednesday in the journal Nature. It examines 20 years of satellite data. The data measures light reflected at the surface of the water all across the globe. The subtle changes aren't necessarily visible to the naked eye. The research finds that 56 percent of the world's oceans are shifting in color. And on the whole, they're growing greener. The trend is especially strong in the lower latitudes. These include the subtropics and tropics. Scientists then used a computer model. They wanted to find out whether climate change was playing a part. They ran one set of simulations. They represented the oceans under a strong climate change scenario. Then, they compared them with a second set of simulations. They imagined a world in which climate change didn't exist.Climate change seems to be the culprit. But the exact reasons still need some scientific digging. Rising ocean temperatures in and of themselves aren't driving the greening. There are plenty of other ways global warming is affecting the world. It can change the structure and flow of certain currents, for instance. These kinds of changes can affect the growth of phytoplankton and other factors that might be contributing to the greening. The findings weren't a surprise to the researchers. They're consistent with the way researchers expect the global oceans to change as the world keeps on warming. "I've been running simulations that have been telling me for years that thesechanges in ocean color are going to happen," study co-author Stephanie Dutkiewicz said. "To actually see it happening for real is not surprising, but frightening."1. According to the study, what percentage of the world's ocean area is "becoming greener"?A. Less than half.B. Around a quarter.C. Approximately two-thirds.D. More than half.2. What is not clear about the greening of the oceans?A. The impact of plankton on the marine ecosystem.B. The exact reasons driving the change in color.C. The visible changes in ocean color.D. The connection between greening and global warming.3. What did the researchers use to examine the changes in ocean color?A. Satellite data measuring reflected light.B. Survey responses from oceanographers.C. A computer model of the world's oceans.D. Underwater cameras and sensors.4. What do the simulations in the study suggest about climate change and ocean color?A. Climate change has no impact on ocean color shifts.B. Rising ocean temperatures are the main cause of the change.C. Rising global temperatures are to blame for the greening.D. Ocean color changes are unrelated to global warming.5. What does study co-author Stephanie Dutkiewicz say about the findings?A. They were unrelated to climate change.B. They were inconsistent with previous research.C. They were not surprising but frightening.D. They were unexpected and concerning.答案: 1. D, 2. B, 3. A, 4. C, 5. C。

高三英语高效限时训练姓名:___________班级:___________一、阅读理解ABeavers(海狸), like humans, change their surroundings to fit their needs. Known as nature’s engineers, they tear trees down to build homes to live in and dams to raise water levels for protection from enemies. Dams also slow water’s flow while blocking sediment(沉积物)that would otherwise flow downstream. The resulting wetlands often attract wildlife diversity where none had existed. There are challenges, though. Beaver dams sometimes cause flooding, and most people prefer trees alive and upright.Communities face a delicate balancing act, learning to coexist with beavers. Last winter, many people enjoying Winston Path became beaver fans as one furry family transformed Swallow Pond into an oasis for birds, frogs, turtles and deer.Yet such activity caused concern. As beavers worked, they raised water levels about five feet. The increased depth allows beavers to survive underwater if the pond ices over. But county officials were concerned about how higher water would affect the soil bank supporting Winston Path.To find a good balance between protecting the path and the beavers, the county introduced a“ beaver baffle”— a pond leveler.Beavers often rush to fill holes in their dams.Baffles stabilize water levels by creating a hidden exit for high water to escape through the dam, unnoticed by the beavers.People love the beavers but they also love the mature trees. Recently, Catherine Jones,18, organized a tree-caging event — putting wire cloth around large tree trunks to discourage beavers from biting them. It also protects people from injury due to random trees falling.“We cover the trees we don’t want them to eat, while planting periodically oth ers they like,“said Jones.“We need-to learn to give up a little of our wants to share the Earth’s resources.”Swallow Pond’s 2023 project will restore proper water depth and improve wildlife habitat without creating problems for the path. The balancing act continues.；1. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．Where beavers’ favorite surroundings are.B．What effects beavers have on their habitat.C．Why beavers are called nature’s engineers.D．How beavers help attract wildlife diversity.；2. Why did the beaver family’s activity cause concern?A．Swallow Pond would flood often.B．Sediment would flow downstream.C．The popular path might be damaged.D．Beavers might have to live underwater.；3. What do the underlined words“beaver baffle”refer to in paragraph 4?A．A block to keep beavers away. B．A tool to fix holes in the dams.C．A device to maintain water level. D．A material to protect the soil bank.；4. What is the theme of Swallow Pond’s 2023 project?A．Biological diversity. B．Harmonious coexistence. C．Prevention of natural disasters. D．Preservation of wildlife habitat.BThe safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage is considered an important part of sustainable development. Among the 629 UNESCO-listed traditions are five entries in Estonia, the most recent of which is the building and use of dugout canoes in the Soomaa region.Every year, before spring, Soomaa National Park transforms into an almost drowned world, when water from melting snow in the eastern uplands floods the low-lying forests, wetlands, roads and yards of the residents who still live here. The water level rose so high that villagers could roll a dugout canoe right through their windows and into their living rooms. Everyone has had to learn to adapt to the natural annual phenomenon.Building a dugout canoe requires a good trunk of an aspen, which grows throughout the forests of Estonia. Once cut down, the trees are peeled and shaped like a cigar using an axe. From here, the inside of the boat is carved out to give it shape. Builders cut the frame down to a few centimetres in thickness. A long log fire is then built alongside the canoe, which is filled with several bucketfuls of water and left to warm up. Once the water has evaporated, sticks are squeezed into the frame lengthways to open it up. Aspen is a soft wood and a trunk half a metre across can be expanded into a metre-wide boat. The boat is then left to cool in the shade and is traditionally finished the following spring, once the wood has fully dried, when it’s given its final design and covered with tar.Aivar Ruukel, one of only five Estonians who still preserve the skill, chooses to build them as a way to connect with the history, As a young man, Ruukel attended workshops led by two master boat builders, both in their 70s at the tim e. He hopes that by the time he’s 70 there will be more young people doing the same. Enthusiasts hope that its joining the heritage list will safeguard the ancient practice and attract the next generation of boatmasters to keep the tradition alive.；5. Why do villagers have to preserve dugout canoes?A．To survive floods. B．To go canoeing in the park.C．To learn about a natural phenomenon. D．To apply for intangible cultural heritage.；6. What’s the right order of building a dugout canoe?① The boat is left in the shade to dry.② The inside of the boat is carved out to give it shape.③ Builders warm up the canoe and open the frame up.④ The boat is given the design and covered with the tar.⑤ Builders remove the barks and make the trees into cigar shapes.A．⑤③②④①B．②⑤④①③C．⑤②③①④D．②③⑤④①；7. Which statement will Ruukel probably agree with?A．Young people shall become boatmasters.B．The practice will die out in the next generation.C．More people are needed to pass on the tradition.D．One cannot master the skill without learning history.；8. What is the best title for the text?A．Dugout canoes come to life B．Boat building industry in Estonia C．Cultural heritage protection in Estonia D．Dugout canoes in Estonia boat to future二、七选五阅读Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First set your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. 9 Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.10 Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class. 11 Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, and review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 12 If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. 13 A．Behave yourself at home.B．Find a good place to study.C．This will help you understand the next class.D．Then decide a good, regular time for studying.E．Make full use of class time to ask your teacher questions.F．Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.G．The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.三、完形填空Every week, Andy goes for a walk and about two miles away, his friend Gabe does the same thing at the same time.

D．In a English TV channel.BHurricane Fiona, killing 16 people and bringing the power system to a 3-day stop, struck Puerto Rico, an island country located between Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, on September 18, almost five years after Hurricane Maria hit the island, showing that, as researchers have long warned, storms are now more frequent and cause more damage due to climate change.Back in 2017, Hurricane Maria killed thousands of people and left millions without power for a week. A study in 2019 found that the possibility of terrible events like Hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico is now almost five times higher due to climate change.The storms were similar in many ways but had their own features. Maria was a Category (类别) 4 hurricane whose speed was up to 155 mph, while Fiona, a Category 1 storm when it landed Puerto Rico, was gentler, with winds of up to 85 mph, which later increased to 115 mph as the storm progressed through the island.And yet, the heavy rain caused by Fiona brought Puerto Rico to its knees. According to the data by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the slow moving storms brought 15.80 inches of rain over a 5-day period, slightly more than Maria at 14.72 inchesThis confirms another long-held thought that, with climate change, horrible storms will not only become more common but also wetter.That’s because the increase in temperatures is leading to more loss of water from the sea and warmer air can hold more water vapor (水蒸气). The average temperature all over the world has already increased by nearly 1.2℃ due to climate change and for each 1℃ of warming, the air’s ability to hold water is thought to increase by about 7%. The latest research suggests that the increase may be three times higher, at 21%.；4. What was a direct cause of more storms in Puerto RicoA．Loss of forests. B．Puerto Rico’s location.C．Human activity. D．Climate change.；5. Compared with Maria, what’s the feature of Fiona progressing through Puerto RicoA．It brought less rain. B．It moved a bit slower.C．It caused a longer power cut. D．It brought more deaths.；6. What do the figures in the last paragraph showA．Rainfall increases with temperature rising.B．Puerto Rico is a place raining all the time.C．Storms are common in Puerto Rico.D．Slower storms cause more damage.；7. What’s the best title for the textA．Puerto Rico: Survival of PeopleB．Puerto Rico: Frequent FloodsC．Climate Change: Wetter Puerto RicoD．Climate Change: Disasters on Their Way to Puerto RicoCSheneman, a 33-year-old artist, was first diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病) around five years ago, and she says it was a wake-up call. Since then, health has become a huge part of her life.What she realized while battling this condition, though, is that a lot of people weren’t aware of what she went through on a daily basis. “Which is crazy to think about because there are so many diabetics out there,” she said. So, Sheneman came up with an art project that would offer a deep understanding of what diabetics go through.On April 1, she started her journey, a 470-mile walk, from her college town of Cincinnati, Ohio, and her plan is to make it to her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, by the end of the month.Throughout this journey, people will be able to watch her glucose(葡萄糖) levels through an app that’s connected to her glucose monitor, the Dexcom G6. The monitor provides real-time alerts when her glucose levels vary too high or low.This journey is more than just showing people how physically difficult this walk is. “I want them to understand what it looks like to be diabetic and constantly checking and making sure that you’re eating the right things,” she said, adding that “just something as simple as stress can raise your blood sugar.”Sheneman was told by health professionals to do something simple, like walking every day. However, Sheneman, who grew up backpacking, wanted to test the limits of what was possible. “I think it’s important to understand that being a diabetic is not necessarily limiting you,” she said. “There’s just the most difficult part that you have to get over.”8. Why did Sheneman start the art projectA．To raise people’s awareness of diabetes. B．To raise money for all the diabetics.C．To advertise for her hometown. D．To get sympathy for herself.9. What should Sheneman pay special attention to during the journey A．The reactions and concerns of others. B．The app connected to the Dexcom G6.C．The variation of her glucose levels. D．The physical difficulty the walk causes.10. Which of the following best describes the life of a diabetic like ShenemanA．Colorful. B．Cautious.C．Artistic. D．Adventurous.11. What message does Sheneman seem to convey in the last paragraph A．Sport helps gain confidence in fighting diseases.B．We don’t have to follow the doctor’s advice.C．Nothing can stop one achieving their goals.D．Our path in life will not always be smooth.二、七选五阅读We know that choosing a college major can be very tough. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. Here’s what you need to know about college majors before you choose.What is a major12 Beyond general college requirements, you’ll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry, Literature, or Political Science.How important is my majorThe major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Many graduates find jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied in college. If you intend to earn a professional degree after college, you will probably need certain courses. 13 .When do I choose a majorThis varies widely across schools and programs. 14 . Others require that you decide upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.15Definitely. One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and arouses new passions. However,keep this in mind: every major has necessary coursework. If you change your major late in the game, it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.What are minors and double majorsIf one field of study doesn’t satisfy your intellectual appetite, consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration. 16 A double major provides you with an understanding or two academic fields. It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements.A．Can I change my mindB．Is my major time-consumingC．It’s your specialized area of study in college.D．Most students find one major is more than enough.E．Some schools may give you one year or more to decide.F．The only difference is that it doesn’t require as many classes. G．Many future science doctors major in non-science related fields.三、完形填空The year 2020 was a hard year. So many people thought of ideas to bring 17 to themselves or to others.Kimberly Wybenga was one of them. To cheer up her friends, she 18 10 small boxes and wrote out praises for 10 friends. Just 19 this brought herjoy so she bought 20 more boxes to spread the love even 20 ."I know everyone is 21 some kind of struggle and I just thought it would be nice to support them anyway I could," Wybenga said, " 22 I didn't know what they were going through."The 38-year-old tried to send her boxes of hope anonymously（匿名地）, 23 "a friend" on the bottom of each card. She mailed some packages and sent others to the doorsteps of those who were 24 to her home secretly. In order not to be 25 , she even dressed up herself in black and wore a mask so if people had 26 on doors, they wouldn't know it was her.All the effort to remain anonymous didn't 27 much of the time because Wybenga's 28 was recognized by some friends.

You are welcome to leave a pound or two if you wish. In restaurants where you place your order with a waiter or a waitress and receive your food and bill at your table, it’s customary to tip around 10 percent. In some restaurants, a service charge may be added 1o the bill automatically, typically 10 or 12.5 percent. In this case, you don’t need to add a further tip. When you pay by credit card, the machine may ask if you want to add a tip. Check your bill to see if a service charge has already been added before paying—if so you don’t need to add a tip on the machine. You can request the service charge be removed from your bill if you are unhappy with the service. In some cases a restaurant may print “service not included” on the bill or menu. This is a request for a tip. You’re not forced to offer anything, but 10 percent would be normal in this situation. Tipping in cafes and fast food restaurant is not expected.If you use a taxi, round the fare up to the nearest pound shown on the meter. On a journey from or to the airport in a booked minicab you might wish to tip 2 or 3 pounds if the driver helps with your bags.Be sure to check a country’s tipping culture before you start your trip.

Occasions for TippingC. Advice on Tipping in RestaurantsD. British Ways to TippingCOur perception of how food tastes is influenced by cultery like knives, forks, and spoons, research suggests.“Size, weight, shape and color all have an effect on flavor,” says a University of Oxford team. Cheese tastes saltier when eaten from a knife rather than a fork; while white spoons make yoghurt2taste better, experiments show.The study in the journal Flavour suggests the brain makes judgments on food even before it goes in the mouth.More than 100 students took part in three experiments looking at the influence of weight, color and shape of cutlery on taste. The researchers found that when the weight of the cutlery is consistent with expectations, this had an influence on how the food tastes. For example, food tasted sweeter on the small spoons than are traditionally used to serve desserts.Color contrast was also an important factor—white yoghurt eaten from a white spoon was rated sweeter that white yoghurt tasted on a black spoon. Similarly, when testers were offered cheese on a knife, spoon, fork or toothpick, they found that the cheese on a knife tasted saltiest.“How we experience food is a multisensory experience involving taste, feel of the food in our mouths, pleasant smells, and he feasting of our eyes,” said Pro. Charles Spence and Dr. Vanessa Harrar. “Even before we put food into our mouths, our brains have made a judgment about it, which affects our overall experience.”Past research has shown that china can change our perception of food and drink. For example, people generally eat less when food is served on smaller plates. “The new research into how the brain influences food perception could help dieters or improve gastronomic(美食的)experiences at restaurants,” said Pro. Spence. He told BBC News: “There’s a lot more to food than what’s on the plate. Many things we thought didn’t matter do. We’re going to see a lot more of neuroscience(神经科学)design around mealtimes.”8. According to the text, we know that the cheese used in the experiment is .A. SaltyB. sourC. sweetD. bitter9. What do we know about the weight of the cutlery in paragraph 3?A. It is important for people.B. People usually don’t care about it.C. It affects how the food tastes.D. It is always different from people’s expectation.10. What does the underlined word “multisensory” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Coming from the senses.B. Involving many different senses.C. Able to feel or perceive.D. Easily affected by other feelings.11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Research on cutlery is of great importance.B. Research into food will be continued in the future.C. Research on the effect of nerves and taste of food will be done.D. Research into plates and food will be carried out in the near future.DA “memory pill” that could aid exam revision and help to prevent people forgetting important3anniversaries may soon be available over the counter.The medicine has been designed originally to help treat Alzheimer’s disease, a disease marked by progressive loss of mental capacity resulting from weakening of the brain cells, but could be adapted and licensed for sale in a weaker form within the next few years.One brand of memory-enhancing (增强记忆的) pill is being developed by the multinational company AstraZeneca together with Targacept, an American company, while Epix Pharmaceuticals, also from the US, is developing another.Both have “Cognitive-enhancing (提高认知的) effects which are aimed at treating patients with age-related memory loss.Steven Ferris, a neurologist and former committee member of the Food and Drug Administration in the US, has predicted that a milder version will be available for healthy consumers as a lifestyle pill available over the counter.Dr. Ferris said: “My view is that one could gain approval, provided you showed the drugs to be effective and safe. It could be a huge market.”There is evidence that mind-improving drugs are already being taken in Britain by healthy users.Provigil, which was used to treat narcolepsy, is being taken by some students to help them stay awake. while Adderall XR and Ritalin, treatments for attention deficit disorder(注意力缺乏症), are being used to help promote concentration.A spokesman of Adderall XR said: “We get a lot of calls from college campuses asking about it. “There are risks though. It can raise blood pressure, people shouldn’t do it.”The Department of Health said it was not illegal to buy the medicines over the Internet, but it was not recommended.Barbara Sahakian, professor of clinical neuropsychology at Cambridge, said: “It’s hard to quantify the scale of the phenomenon but it’s definitely catching on. ’“The reality is that we are not always at our best. After being up at night looking after the kids or travelling. Many people would love to have something to refresh them. It’s not prohibited to drink Red Bull. The principle with cognition enhancers is not so different. ”12.

He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one. Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can〔垃圾桶〕that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although theyhad found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.21. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A. Go shoppingB. Find a houseC. Join his familyD. Take his family22. The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from_______.A. a friend of his familyB. a Sydney policemanC. a letter in his papersD. a stranger in Sydney23.

They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud. They have no school. Yet they all can chant the English alphabet, and some can make words.The key to their success: 20 tablet computers(平板电脑) dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U.S. group called One Laptop Per Child.The goal is to find out wh ether kids using today’s new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they’re already amazed. “What I think has already happen ed is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten,〞 said Matt Keller, who runs the Ethiopia program.The fastest learner—and the first to turn on one of the tablets—is 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse. The device’s c amera was disabled to save memory, yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work. He called himself a lion, a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia.With his tablet, Kelbesa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows. Then he spelled words on his own. “Seven months ago he didn’t know any English. That’s unbelievable,〞 said Keller.The project aims to get kids to a stage called “deep reading,〞 where they can read to learn. It won’t be in Amharic, Ethiopia’s first language, but in English, which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs.25. How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village?A. It trains teachers for them.B. It contributes totheir self-study.C. It helps raise their living standards.D. It provides funds for building schools.26. What can we infer from Keller’s words in Paragraph 3?A. They need more time to analyze data.B. More children are needed for the research.C. He is confident about the future of the project.D. The research should be carried out in kindergartens.27. It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could _______.A. learn English words quickly.B. draw pictures of animals.C. write letters to researchers.D. make phone calls to his friends.28. What is the aim of the project?A. To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs.B. To make Amharic widely used in the world.C. To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English.D. To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language.CSince the first Earth Day in 1970, American have gotten a lot “greener〞toward the environment . “We didn’t know at that time there even was anenvironment, let alone that there was a problem with it,〞 says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement . Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many ,many times,〞 says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first.According to US government reports , emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons .The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9 .Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with , the world is a safer and healthier place .A kind of “Green thinking 〞 has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved .In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs ,today in 1995 there are about 6,600 .Advanced lights ,motors , and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution . Twenty –five years ago , there were hardly any education programs for environment .Today , it’s hard to find a public school , university , or law school that does not have such a kind of program .〞 Until we do that , nothing else will change! 〞 say Bruce Anderson .29 According to Anderson , before 1970, Americans had little idea about ___A. the social movementB. recycling techniquesC. environmental problemsD. the importance of Earth Day30 Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A.
