We were three thousand miles away from home on a Random Acts of Kindness and Volunteerism Road Trip. We were short of money, so we had two goals today:1. Try out our new "Smile!" signs and see how much kindness and joy we could spread in Pike place Market.2. Raise at least 80 by doing street performances. Singing, drawing or storytelling. This would be enough for gas lo Portland and a small hotel room.We weren't sure how people would react to our signs. It's so easy to walk past a busy crowd, lost in your own world, refusing to make eye-contact with strangers, and feeling alone despite being surrounded by hundreds of people just like you. Finally, I gathered courage to raise our signs and shouted, "Hi here!" to a young couple. They looked over, confused for a moment, read my sign and broke into smiles. Then we saw more smiling faces in the crowd.Before long, our signs were wildly popular. Tourists wanted photos with us. Strangers stopped to ask us about our signs. We told them the story of our acts of kindness road trip and listened to their stories, too.Sometimes I'd see unfriendly faces and feel particularly to show them my bright sign. But I was always rewarded with a big smile whenever I did so. Suddenly they were no longer faces of strangers but those of neighbors and friends. This world is full of good people we just don't know yet. We got so wrapped up in our wonderful "Smile!" project that we forgot the other goal. Before we knew it, the sun was setting, and we had no money for our trip to Portland.We sat down to watch a musician play the guitar while we thought about our second goal. ________Our little band of five attracted a large audience. ________【答案】We sat down to watch a musician play the guitar while we thought about our second goal. It seemed that it was tough to achieve. Now we didn't have much time to lose. Suddenly, a good idea flashed through my mind. I gathered my courage and walked straight toward the musician and asked him to do us a favor. To our great delight, he enthusiastically supported our money project and agreed to form a band with us. With an empty hat on the ground in front of us, we began our performance.Our little band of five attracted a large audience. We received a storm of applause. A gentleman in his fifties was the first to put some change into our hat. His act of kindness was soon followed by more donations. A little boy, holding his mom's hand, carefully dropped a coin and gave us the most beautiful smile in the world. Before it was dark we were sure we had made it. The amount of money gathered totaled 92. What a sweet victory! We thanked the musician and went on with our journey. In the depth of my heart, I would keep these heartwarming moments forever.【解答】We sat down to watch a musician play the guitar while we thought about our second goal.

宜昌市最新版高考英语任务型阅读专题练习(含答案)一、高中英语任务型阅读1．任务型阅读Just as team members today have assigned doing roles, there should also be thinking roles. By knowing how other members of your learn and organization think---and by others knowing how you think—everyone can be more productive. So how should you evaluate how you and your team think? After a lot of trial-and-error, we developed a three-step method that delivers practical and meaningful results.Focus. Do you tend to pay the most attention to ideas, process, action, or relationships? For example, in the morning do you think about the problems you need to solve, the plans you need to make, the actions you need to take, or the people you need to see? This isn't about picking one to the exclusion(排除)of the other. It's about where your focus naturally lands.Orientation(方向). A good way to identify your orientation is thinking about what tends to bother you in meetings. Are you more likely to complain about getting dragged into the weeds or about things being too general and not specific enough? These dimensions are complementary(补充的)to personality, skills, and traditional roles.Combination. By combing these two dimensions you can know about the thinking style at work in whatever context or setting you chose. When you know your thinking style, you know what naturally energizes you, why certain type of problems are challenging or boring, and what you can do to improve in areas that are important to reaching your goals. Once you know your style, it helps to share it with others, and have others share theirs with you. In this way, your thinking style becomes a useful tool---a kind of social currency---for the team. Imaging you put together a team to work on a new initiative(行动). Wouldn't you like to know who is energized by big-picture strategy discussions and who finds them frustrating? Who likes to work on the details of the execution? And who is energized by managing the team dynamics?The landscape of business is changing rapidly, and we have to find new and better ways to connect and communicate. We all want to work better together, the challenge is actually making it happen. Understanding collaboration(合作)through the way of thinking rather than doing is a practical and powerful step forward.【答案】equally；improve/increase；evaluating；thinking；choice；whether；combine；contributes/leads；Conclusion；how【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，正如今天的团队成员分配的角色一样，也应该有思考的角色，两者同样重要。

This feels like "Success" to the outside world. But there is still a voice in my heart asking if this is who I truly am. Only in silence do I hear the self and wonder who that person might be.So I booked a trip to find out. I travelled, for the first time, without my husband or kids. I went to Iceland with a friend, who shares an appreciation for wilderness and silence.For six days, we were immersed in wild, raw scenery and real weather—all kinds of weather. Climbing a mountain against rain and returning to a tent for a simple meal reminds you how little you actually need. And how strong it feels to be uncomfortable sometimes.I found silence in Iceland，and time to consider the me outside of career and the me outside of kids as I shared stories with strangers.When I stopped talking and just listened，I became more generous. I 1earned that choosing to be generous can create more space, more food and more warmth.But I didn't really gain any better appreciation of what I want from life or my job. I suspect the anxiety that drove me to seek silence in Iceland was losing sight of my ability to choose gratitude and joy，and to be present in the challenges I set in my career and my family.I came home to noise，rush and love; with no less confusion on who I want to be. I know the answer isn't waiting out there on the top of a mountain in Iceland. The answer is in front of me with every step on my own 1ife's path, and in every choice I make.（1）Why did the author take a trip to Iceland?A. To gain a new experience.B. To enjoy family happiness.C.

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解If conditions get bad enough, almost any kind of weather can become a storm.Stormy weather can cause people to cancel their plans. It can cause major events to be postponed. And severe stormy weather can be dangerous to people, fortune and anima1.If you weather the storm, or ride out the storm, you survive and move on without harm or injury. For example, 1et's talk about Tornado Alley, the name for part of the central United States. During springtime, this area often has a large number of powerful tornadoes. People who live there are taught to shelter in the safest place they can find and wait for the storm to pass. People who live in Tornado Alley are used to weathering many storms!You can also weather a storm, but it does n't involve actual weather. “To weather the storm” can also mean to make it through a difficult experience or trying times. So, if the stock market(股市)crashes, you might have to weather a financial storm.Often before a big storm, conditions are calm. The calm before the storm can happen anytime. It is the time before something bad happens. For example, at the beginning of a family reunion, the adults were all talking happily. But the older children knew it was just the calm before the storm. They've seen it happen before. The adults talk happily for about an hour. Then they start arguing about events from the past—things that should really stay buried!But after the storm begins and you find yourself in the middle of it, you are in the eye of the storm. In the world of weather, the eye of the storm is the calmest part, in the center of a hurricane, for example. However, in the English language, if you are in the eye of the storm, you are in the most intense part of a conflict. For example, she had no idea that walking into the meeting would put her in the eye of the storm.However, a brainstorm does not exist in the world of weather. To brainstorm means to try to solve a problem by talking with other people. And don't worry. If we have trouble thinking of an idea for the next program, we can always brainstorm with you!（1）What's mainly discussed in the 3rd and 4th paragraphs?A. What the meanings of weathering the storm are.B. How we can weather the storm.C. Weathering a storm doesn't involve actual weather.D. People in Tornado Alley can survive the storm.（2）Why does the author mention a family reunion in the fifth paragraph?A. To stress the importance of weather forecast.B. To develop the awareness of family.C. To explain the meaning of an expression.D. To praise the older children for being clever.（3）What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. A problem can't be solved if you worry too much.B. A brainstorm often appears in the world of weather.C. Difficulties can be dealt with by teamwork.D. To brainstorm can cause troubles in the program.（4）What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To tell us stormy weather can cause destruction.B. To tell us some expressions about storm.C. To tell us a storm can cause conflicts.D. To tell us we should be ready for a storm.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Most adults find it hard to recall events from their first few years of life and now scientists have found exactly when these childhood memories fade(消失).A new study has found that most three-year-olds can recall a lot of what happened to them over a year earlier, and these memories persist while they are five and six, but by the time they are over seven, these memories decline(衰退) rapidly.Most children by the age of eight or nine can only recall 35% of their experiences from under the age of three, according to the new findings.The scientists behind the research say this is because at around this age the way we form memories begins to change. They say that before the age of seven children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early events they can recall tend to be more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster rate of forgetting than adults. The findings also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of events but then forget them just a couple of years later.The youngsters first visited the laboratory at the age of three and discussed six unique events from their past, such as family outings, trips to the zoo, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second session between the ages of five and nine to discuss the same events. The researchers found that between the ages of five and seven, the amount of memories the children could recall remained between 63 -72 percent. However, the amount of information eight-to nine-year-old children could recall dropped to 35 and 36 percent.（1）What does the new study tell us?A.Childhood memories decline with years.B.Three-year-old kids are the cleverest.C.Childhood memories can fade easily.D.Some adults cannot recall past events.（2）What does the underlined word "persist" in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Change.B.Remain.C.Appear.D.Return.（3）What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Adults cannot have clear memories of past events.B.Children can think like adults when they get older.C.Children under 7 years old have different ways of forming memories.D.Children often forget things because they have no idea of time or place.（4）In the second session, nine-year-old children _________.A.refused to discuss the same eventsB.remembered all their family outingsC.could recall 72 percent of their past eventsD.only remembered a small part of their past events【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）D（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了记忆消失的一些知识。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解FaceApp has taken the world by storm, giving users the chance to see themselves age through its algorithm. 12.7 million people—some three million more than the population of New York City—reportedly downloaded it in one seven-day period last month.Although the Russian app has become known for its privacy issues, the more interesting lesson of our FaceApp fling (尽情玩乐)is what it tells us about our society—and our future lives. It turns out we are more interested in aging than we realized. I'm surprised by this. Most younger people are in denial (否认)about old age, doing almost nothing to prepare for it. We rarely have a chance to plan for the future, with increasing time and financial pressures. Those pressures bring sacrifices that we may not always want to make: we can no longer afford to spend the time or the money needed to look after our elderly parents.As a family doctor, I can see the loneliness epidemic developing. Elderly patients come to see me with no particular illness, no clear medical issue. After a few minutes of the consultation, I understand why: they're not sick, and often they don't feel sick. They just need someone—anyone-to talk to.Although loneliness has no medical classification, the health effects are real: the result of loneliness and isolation can be as harmful to our health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, and is more damaging than obesity. But loneliness does not come with nearly enough health warnings. So what next? Since 1980, we are living on average 10 years longer. At the same time, people are having fewer and fewer children, and they are having them much later in life. The snake of a world class health service is eating its own tail; its care is prolonging (延长) people's lives, but as the ratio of pensioners(退休人员)to working -age people increases, there are fewer taxpayers to fund that very health service.Into this void have stepped NGOs, charities and volunteers. But in the long term, the only way to truly help the oldest meters of our society is to go back to the traditional values of intergenerational(两代间的) cooperation—often under same roof. Ultimately, we will need to evolve towards a culture where elderly care is treated the same as childcare, where employers recognize the duty of someone with an elderly parent the same way they recognize those of someone with a newborn child.（1）The example of FaceApp is used to _____.A. prove the popularity of itB. explain the function of itC. show the progress of technologyD. introduce the topic of aging and loneliness（2）What makes elderly people without illness go to see their family doctors?A. Desire to have the consultation.B. Strong feeling of loneliness.C. Unclear medical issues.D. Questions to ask doctors.（3）How can the oldest members be truly helped?A. By being treated as children.B. By going back to the traditional society.C. By providing family care.D. By living with other elderly people under the same roof.（4）What can we learn from the passage?A. The loneliness of elderly people needs more attention.B. FaceApp's popularity proves it has no security problems.C. Health service lacks fund because of prolonged peopled lives.D. FaceApp is helpful in dealing with elderly peopled loneliness.【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）C（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者由FaceApp话题谈到当今的社会现象——老人感到孤独，他们需要关注。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解The new social robots, including Jibo, Cozmo, Kuri and Meccano M.A.X., bear some resemblance to assistants like Apple's Siri, but these robots come with something more. They are designed to win us over not with their smarts but with their personality. They are sold as companions that do more than talk to us. Time magazine hailed (称赞) the robots that "could fundamentally reshape how we interact with machines." But is reshaping how we interact with machines a good thing, especially for children?Some researchers in favor of the robots don't see a problem with this. People have relationships with many kinds of things. Some say robots are just another thing with which we can have relationships. To support their argument, roboticists sometimes point to how children deal with toy dolls. Children animate (赋予…生命) dolls and turn them into imaginary friends. Jibo, in a sense, will be one more imaginary friend, and arguably a more intelligent and fun one.Getting attached to dolls and sociable machines is different, though. Today's robots tell children that they have emotions, friendships, even dreams to share. In reality, the whole goal of the robots is emotional trickery. For instance, Cozmo the robot needs to be fed, repaired and played with. Boris Sofman, the chief executive of Anki, the company behind Cozmo, says that the idea is to create "a deeper and deeper emotional connection ... And if you neglect him, you feel the pain of that." What is the point of this, exactly? What does it mean to feel the pain of neglecting something that feels no pain at being neglected, or to feel anger at being neglected by something that doesn't even know it is neglecting you?This should not be our only concern. It is troubling that these robots try to empathize with children. Empathy allows us to put ourselves in the place of others, to know what they are feeling. Robots, however, have no emotions to share, and they cannot put themselves in our place. No matter what robotic creatures "say" or squeak, they don't understand our emotional lives. They present themselves as empathy machines, but they are missing the essential equipment. They have not been born, they don't know pain, or death, or fear. Robot thinking may be thinking, but robot feeling is never feeling, and robot love is never love.What is also troubling is that children take robots' behavior to indicate feelings. When the robots interact with them, children take this as evidence that the robots like them, and when robots don't work when needed, children also take it personally. Their relationships with the robots affect their self-esteem (自尊). In one study, an 8-year-old boy concluded that the robot stopped talking to him because the robot liked his brothers better.For so long, we dreamed of artificial intelligence offering us not only simple help but conversation and care. Now that our dream is becoming real, it is time to deal with the emotional downside of living with robots that "feel."（1）How are the new social robots different from Siri?A. They are intended to teach children how to talk.B. They are designed to attract people with their smarts.C. Their main function is to evaluate children's personality.D. They have a new way to communicate with human beings.（2）In Paragraph 3 Cozmo is used as an example to show that the social robots ______.A. are deeply connected with human beingsB. are unable to build a real relationship with childrenC. are so advanced that they can feel the pain of human beingsD. are not good enough to carry out the instructions of children（3）The underlined phrase "essential equipment" in Paragraph 4 refers to ______.A. emotionB. painC. fearD. thinking（4）Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionA. B.C. D.【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，新的社交机器人与以往机器人不同，他们不仅比我们聪明还有他们的个性。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解"What kind of rubbish are you?" This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it was brought about weary complaints over the past few months. On July 1st, the city introduced strict rubbish-sorting regulations that are expected to be used as a model for our country. Citizens must divide their waste into four separate categories and put it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure that rules are obeyed and to examine the nature of one's rubbish.Violators could be hit with fines of up to 200 yuan ($29). For repeat violators, the city can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to obtain hank loans or even buy train tickets.Shanghai authorities are responding to obvious environmental problem. It produces 9 million tons of garbage a year. But like other cities in china, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on rubbish pickers to pick out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up. China produces 80 billion pairs of one-off chopsticks a year.Many citizens appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are frustrated by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or hazardous(有害的), the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules surrounding food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bin, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss(投掷）it by hand, Most annoying are the short periods for throwing trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening.

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Your teenage best friend could be good for your long-term mental health, according to a new study published in the journal Child Development According to the findings, teenagers aged 15 to 16 who had a close friendship rather than a larger group of friends they were less close to had a greater sense of self-worth by the time they were 25 years old. Those people with a very close best friend were also less likely to experience depression and social anxiety, the study found. "Close friendship strength in mid-adolescence predicted relative increases in self-worth and decreases in anxiety and depressive symptoms by early adulthood, "the authors, led by Rachel K, Narr, a postdoctoral student focused on clinical psychology at the University of Virginia, wrote.A past research has suggested that adolescent friendships are important. Friendships during the teenage years predict academic success and improved mental health. But the new research further explores the type of friendships teenagers have. "My hunch(预感)was that close friendships compared to broader friendship groups and popularity may not function the same way," Narr told Quartz. "Being successful in one is not the same as being successful in the other." Many study participants did not continue to have a close relationship with their high-school best friend, leading the researchers to wonder what exactly was responsible for the mental health benefits. They suspected that the skills and ability to build such a friendship may be more important than the friendship itself.And as the researchers point out, those skills are not necessarily brought to bear in the world of social media. "As technology makes it increasingly easy to build a social network of shallow friends, focusing time and attention on developing close connections with a few individuals should be a priority," study co-author Joseph Allen said in a statement.（1）What is the benefit of having a close teenage friendship?A. Excellent performance in high school.B. A larger group of friends.C. Mental health by early adulthood.D. A large social network in the future.（2）What can we learn about the past research?A. It attached great significance to adolescent friendships.B. It was totally different from the new research.C. It helped improve teenagers' mental health.D. It compared broader friendship groups with popularity.（3）What did the researchers think might lead to the mental health benefits?A. Not continuing to have a close relationship.B. Having a best friend in high school.C. Understanding the world of social media.D. Knowing how to build a close friendship （4）What did the researcher Joseph suggest?A. Learning to use social media.B. Broadening your social circle.C. Improving the skills of making friends.D. Concentrating on high-quality relationship.【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）D（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，研究发现，那些有非常亲密的好朋友的人也不太可能经历抑郁和社交焦虑。

一、高中英语任务型阅读1．Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Many people know that trash is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don't know is that trash has become a problem in outer space too. ________Statistically, there are more than 22,000 pieces of junk in space around the earth. And these are just the items that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes or radars. ________Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds, so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to people, particularly astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spacecraft, it could damage the vehicle. That's because the faster an object moves, the greater the impact if the object collides with something else.To help minimize additional space junk, countries around the world have agreed to limit the time their space tools stay in orbit to 25 years. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere, or the mass of gases that surround the earth, after that. ________Many scientists are also proposing different ways to clean up space junk. The Germans have been planning a space mission with robots that would collect pieces of space trash and bring them back to Earth so that they can be safely destroyed."In our opinion the problem is very challenging, and it's quite urgent as well," said Marco Castronuovo, an Italian Space Agency researcher who is working to solve the problem. ________ Many of these objects are tools that help people use their cell phones or computers. "The time to act is now; as we go farther in time we will need to remove more and more fragments," he says.A. One reason that it's urgent is that countries are sending more and more objects into space.B. There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.C. Blowing up older satellites with a missile may create thousands of smaller pieces!D. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.E. When two objects in space collide, the two objects break into many smaller pieces.F. Years of space exploration have left tons of "space junk" in orbit around the planet.【答案】 F；B；D；A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍太空垃圾越来越严重，急需解决。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解City trees grow faster and die younger than trees in rural forestry, a new study finds. Over their lifetimes, then, urban trees will likely absorb less CO2 from the air thah forest trees.As we all know, the earth would be freezing or burning hot without CO2. However, CO2is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps energy from the sun as/heat. That makes temperatures near the ground rise. Human activities, especially the widespread burning-of fossil(化石)fuels, have been sending extra greenhouse gases into the air. This has led to a rise in average temperatures across the globe.Studies had shown forests readily absorb CO2, but there hadn't been much data on whether city trees grow, die and absorb CO2at the same rate as forest trees do. So some researchers decided to find out.To figure out how quickly trees were growing, researchers tracked their diameters (the width of their trunks) between 2005 and 2014. A tree's diameter increases as it grows, just as a person's waist size increases as they gain weight. About half the weight of a tree is carbon, research has shown. Most of the rest is water. Over the nine years' tracking, the researchers found city trees absorbed four times as much carbon from the air as forest trees. However, they were twice as likely to die. So over the lifetime of each type of tree, forest trees actually absorbed more CO2.City trees grew faster because they had less competition for light from their neighbors. In a forest, trees tend to grow close together, shading their neighbors. Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen (氮)in rainwater. Nitrogen helps plants grow. Waste gases from gas-burning cars also contain nitrogen, thus enriching city air with nitrogen. Later, rainwater may wash much of it to the ground. Some street trees may also have better access to water than trees in the country because the underground water pipes can leak.（1）What can he known about CO2 from paragraph 2?A. It is one of the side effects of greenhouses.B. It greatly accelerates the process of global warming.C. It results from the widespread burning of fossil fuels.D. It prevents the earth from becoming unsuitable to live on.（2）Why did researchers track the diameters of trees?A. To know about their growth rates.B. To find out how much they weigh.C. To check whether they were healthy.D. To assess the carbon amounts in them.（3）What advantage do city trees have over forest trees?A. They are more likely to access growth promoters.B. They can enjoy more water coming from the air.C. They can enjoy more shade from neighbors.D. They are better at competing for light.（4）What will probably be talked about if the passage is continued?A. How urban trees can live longer.B. Why city living makes trees die young.C. How trees respond to dry soil conditions.D. Why faster-growing trees absorb more CO2.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，一项新的研究发现：与长在森林中的树木相比，城市里的树木长得更快，但死得更早。

湖北省宜昌市天问高中高一七选五专题英语测试(附答案)

湖北省宜昌市天问高中高一七选五专题英语测试(附答案)The hardest thing to do is keep trying hard to achieve our goal when we see no signs of change. This is because our brains like observable evidence that our efforts are getting us closer to what we want and who we want to become. ___1___ So how do we keep motivated and continue fighting when it seems to make no progress?Keep a detailed daily record. Write down any and all observable changes, even if you feel like they are not worthy to be written down. Those kinds of changes usually do not continue in our memories, so we may not be able to notice all the changes that are actually happening. ___2___ Don’t compare with anyone else. Celebrate what is happening in your journey rather than looking at someone else’s path and thinking a bout what happened to them. ___3___ You don’t need to come in “first place”.Question your expectations. Remember to often ask yourself: ___4___ Unrealistic expectations increase frustration and disappointment and can be difficult for you to recover from when unmet. ___5___ If you stare at the minute hand of a clock, the passing of an hour will seem like a lifetime. When you are working on a goal, it is important to diversify（使多样化）how you spend your time. Doing so will reduce your disappointment if your goal is not happening fast enough. A．Have a life outside of your goal.B．Remember that life is not a race.C．However, things don’t always go smoothly.D．What do I expect to achieve by setting this goal?E．Undoubtedly, our efforts will pay off sooner or later.F．Are my expectations for how and when I meet my goal realistic?G．Small changes, when gathered, eventually lead to the big change that we long for.Curiosity is rooted in our DNA．We are fascinated by the future; we are impressed with the unknown that surrounds us; we are amazed at all that we have to explore. The mysteries of the world have always been a push for us to watch. ____6____.Children are known for sticking their fingers in places where young fingers should never be. They are famous for putting all kinds of objects and substances in their mouths, everything from plastic blocks to any object in the room.____7____ It holds our hand as we move into old age and the unknown of the future. By and large, we are determined question-askers. We want to know more than we know; we want to expand our horizons, try out the new and undiscovered, and pursue experiences that deepen our comprehension of the world we live in.____8____ It is also the generation of possibilities. When we look at the world from multiple perspectives, we give ourselves permission to examine a wider range of resolutions. We open up our minds to explore the unexamined and unknown. ____9____ Ian Leslie explains it this way, “Curiosity is essential to an exploring mind; it opens our eyes to the new and undiscovered, encouraging us to seek out new experiences and meet new people.”Curiosity is the catalyst(催化剂) for questioning, and questioning is what urges us to seek out the unfamiliar and the unknown. ____10____ It does not move forward, nor does it have sufficient power to dig what may lie just below the surface or just slightly out of reach. Curiosity is the fuelnecessary for creativity to prosper and succeed.A．Curiosity has its own reason for existing.B．Without questioning, knowledge becomes inactive.C．Nowhere is this truer than when we watch our children.D．But curiosity is much more than a simple search for answers.E．Curiosity becomes a boost for new opportunities and new options.F．So ask questions to which there may be a wide variety of responses.G．In adults, curiosity guides us toward a lifetime occupation and to new destinations.It is said that honesty is the best policy. But we’re constantly disturbed by lies. Why is it important for us to avoid lying in turn? ___11___Being honest is easier than lying. Have you ever told a lie and then forgotten the details about it? Sure, you may have been able to be safe for the time being, but lies have to be maintained with even larger lies. ___12___You will be found out if you lie. ___13___ Your kids’ hamster dies and you say that it has run away. Ten years later they accidentally dig it up in the backyard and they’ll realize that you have lied. Trust in the fact that the truth always finds a way to rise to the surface.The worst truth is better than the best lie. Sometimes a lie can cause much more worries, like telling kids that their grandmother “went to sleep” instead of letting them know that she had died. If they’re young, they’ll end up terrified of going to bed for fear that they’ll never wake up again.___14___ If someone finds out that you’ve lied to them, they will never be able to fully trust you again. Even if you spend the rest of your life sticking with honesty, the person you’ve lied to won’t ever have true faith in you again.

WHO says health is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” ____17____You eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full. ____18____ “It sounds really silly, but it’s amazing how many of us don’t do that,” Dr. Cindy Geyer, member of the True Health Initiative and medical director at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, Massachusetts, told INSIDER. “We forget to eat so we’re starving and then we eat a ton, or we’re eating mindlessly in front of the TV, or we’re eating in an emotional context because it’s how we re self-soothing. A healthy relationship with food is trusting your internal cues, not external ones, to decide what and how much to eat,” she said. “I encourage clients to eat until they’re satisfied, but not stuffed.”____19____ A diverse diet e nsures that you’re more likely to get all the vitamins and nutrients you need, she explained. This is even more true if the diet is rich in whole foods (天然食品), which tend to be more nutrient-dense than processed stuff.You’re eating enough. Remember, calories aren’t your enemy or some evil force to be reduced at all costs. ____20____ And if you’re not eating enough of them, you could end up feeling moody, weak, achy, and more.A．How can you tell if you fit that definition?B．You’re eating a varied diet rich in whole foods.C．They give special attention to the way they live.D．This simple behavior is a typical feature of healthy eating.E．But that doesn’t mean these qualities are necessary for good health.F．A healthy relationship with food contributes greatly to good health.G．They’re an energy source that helps you live your life and do what you love.One after another, celebrities (名人) have been shocking fans with their dishonesty and disappointing activities. ____21____ She has been asked to pay an surprisingly 1.34 billion yuan in taxes.Before Viya's case came to light, calls for "regulating (规范)" the celebrity fan clubs had been raised after Chinese-American singer-songwriter Wang Leehom's wife accused (控告) him of having disappointing affairs with the other persons. ______22______ Despite Wang trying to argue against the netizens'naming and shaming, various brands have dropped him as their ambassador (大使).Celebrities always have a large crowd of crazy fans.

It’s normal for parents to treat each child little differently, because each kid might benefit from a slightly different approach.Try telling your parents how you feel.Your goal is to communicate your feelings directly without being rude.____42____For example, saying “I feel ignored ”is better than saying “you’re ignoring me.” You can also say,“I feel left out lately. Sometimes I feel like you're so busy taking care of the baby that you don’t have enough tim e for me.”Ask for what you'd like to happen.____43____This lets them know how they can try to fix the problem. Present an idea that could help. You can say,“Could you please try to show up to more of my games so that I'll feel so happy knowing you’re there to cheer me on.”Step away if things get heated.Maybe you or your parents will get angry.

The fastest plane in the world right now is Air Force One. It carries the president of the United States and can reach 1,092 km/h. ___47___ Canadian designer Charles Bombardier says his plane could be 10 times faster than the Concorde, which could fly at 2,180 km/h. The Concorde was the world’s fastest passenger plane between 1976 and 2003. But the Concorde was very noisy and its nose got dangerously hot when it flew. A Concorde crashed in 2000, killing 114 people. ___48______49___ It stops the plane from overheating and having the same problems that the Concorde did. New technology, recently tested by NASA, makes the Antipode the perfect shape and weight to fly fast and safely.“It’s always something that people would like a transportation system that could take you from one place on the planet to the other side,” Mr. Bombardier told the BBC．___50___ The design is just a concept and will need more research before it becomes a reality. A．No Concordes were flown again after 2003.B．There are huge differences between high-speed planes.C．But the Antipode would probably reach a crazy 25,750 km/h!D．Don’t try to buy a ticket for the plane yet, though.E．Then it could fly from London to New York in less than 20 minutes.F．The superfast plane could only carry ten passengers.G．The Antipode’s design includes a special nose.【参考答案】***试卷处理标记，请不要删除1．无1、C牝2、G牝3、B牝4、F牝5、A【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

A (words:311&225)The British National Health Service (NHS) was set up in 1948 and was designed to provide equal basic health care, free of charge, for everybody in the country. Before this time health care had to be paid for by individuals.Nowadays central government is directly responsible for the NHS although it is administered by local health authorities. About 83 percent of the cost of the health service is paid for by general taxation and the rest is met from the National Insurance contributions paid by those inwork. There are charges for prescription and dental care but many people, such as children, pregnant women, pensioners, and those on Income Support, are exempt from payment.Most people are registered with a local doctor (a GP, or General Practitioner) who is increasingly likely to be part of a health centre which serves the community.As the population of Britain gets older, the hospital service now treats more patients than before, although patients spend less time in hospital. NHS hospitals —many of which were built in the nineteenth century — provide nearly half a million beds and have over 480, 000 medical staff. The NHS is the biggest employer in Europe although Britain actually spends less per person on health care than most of her European neighbours.During the 1980s there was considerable restructuring of the Health Service with an increased emphasis on managerial efficiency and the privatization of some services (for example, cleaning). At the end of the 1980s the government introduced proposals for further reform of theNHS, including allowing some hospitals to be self-governing, and encouraging GPs to compete for patients. Patients would be able to choose and change their family doctor more easily and GPs would have more financial responsibility. The political questions continue of how much moneyshould be provided to support the NHS and where it should come from.41.We can know from the first paragraph that ______________.A.the original aim of the NHS was to provide equal basic health care for everybodyB.people didn’ t have to pay for health care since the NHS was set upC.patients were charged for receiving health care before 1948D.the NHS was an organization which gave free advice to villagers42.What do we know about the NHS?A.It ’ s managed by the central government.B.Its cost is mainly paid for by the National Insurance contributions.C.It hires more people than any other unit in Europe.D.Fewer patients go to its hospitals than before because they spend less on health care.43.All the following statements about GPs are true except that they ____________.A. take care of the local people’ s healthB. often take part in competitions to see who is the bestC. work under high pressure nowadaysD. have more responsibilities than before44.
