人教版高三英语总复习第二轮-试题(含答案)

人教版高三英语二轮复习试题阅读理解Margaret Mead, the most famous anthropologist(人类学家)in the world, was born in the USA in 1901,the oldest of five children. Her father was a professor of finance and her mother was a sociologist. After studying psychology as an undergraduate, Mead began a PhD in the relatively new field of anthropology. Mead was particularly interested in primitive communities because she believed that such isolated cultures could serve as "laboratories" that would reveal ways of living that the modern world had forgotten about but needed to remember.Having travelled to Samon, a few tiny volcanic, tropical islands in the center of the Pacific Ocean, Mead gradually got interested in gender roles and discovered that modern societies are far more strict in this area than primitive ones. For example, Americans tend to think of men as productive, sensible, and aggressive, while women are often told they're more light-hearted, peaceful, and nurturing. But in her 1935 book, Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies, Mead studied tribes in Papua New Guinea and recorded that in the Arapesh tribe, both men and women were peaceful and nurturing, while among the Mundugurnor tribe, men and women were both ruthless and aggressive.Mead's striking conclusion is that it isn't gender that makes women curl their hair or listen to people's feelings, or race that makes some nations regularly attack their neighbors. Rather, it's the social expectations and norms that have laid the groundwork for each individual's psychological makeup."We must recognize, "she reminded her readers, "that beneath the superficial(表面上的)classifications of sex and race, the same potentialities always exist, occurring again generation after generation, only to perish because society has no place for them."She is regarded as one of the most influential social scientists of the last century. People around the world mourned the death of Margaret Mead in 1978.A year later, the president of the United States, Jimmy Carter, honored the social scientist with America's highest award for civilians.1.What can we learn about Mead from the text?A.She was influenced by her mother to be an anthropologist.B.She majored in psychology and anthropology as an undergraduate.C.She believed isolated cultures could expose forgotten ways of living to the modern world. D.She discovered modern societies are less strict in gender roles than primitive ones.2.It can be inferred from Mead's study in tribes thatA.the world is filled with separate cultures.B.no gender characteristics are ever simply" human nature".C.knowing another culture will help us reflect on our own.D.social standards are responsible for individual's development.3.What does the underlined word "them" in the third paragraph refer to?A.Shared potential among humans.B.Classifications of gender and race.C.Social expectations and norms.D.Individual's psychological makeups.4.What's the passage mainly about?A.The difference between men and women.B.The recommendation of Mead's book.C.The introduction about a great anthropologist.D.The groundwork for each individual's makeup.七选五Apps such as WeChat and TikTok have gained popularity in recent years.1.Also TikTok is already a household name globally, maybe one of the Chinese brands to truly be recognized universally.WeChat is particularly relied upon as a secure part of the structure of our technologically advancing societies.2.Moreover, a court in Haidian allows litigants(诉讼当事人)to communicate with their lawyers through WeChat video connections.Many features of WeChat alongside its well-thought-out design has meant that the app has dominated its competitors domestically, especially during the disorderly origin years of 2012-13,when it was gaining traction.The ability to move through web pages without tags and save articles alongside other offline content within the app simplified the online experience.3.This is a fantastic application designed to combine the comprehensive nature of the web experience with the simplistic convenience of mobile apps.4.An example is that, instead of a loading white screen, users, when opening a PW A app such as WeChat, will simply at first see the content that had been previously browsing, allowing them to pick up where they left off, much like reading a book.The intuitive(直观的)design is what makes WeChat not just an app in communicating with friends and family. 5.You can also order a taxi through it. All of these extra features boil down to the one single universal strength of detail in design and multiple app service integration.A.Residents in Guangzhou can use the app to store their ID cards.B.Many may bring up the fact that you can pay for goods and services.C.WeChat alone, as of 2020,boasts more than I billion users worldwide.D.The app itself has no doubt also been an influence on many Western apps.E.In a web browser, a list of favourite sites saves for future use while browsing.F.Users didn't have to switch constantly from app to app depending on the type of multimedia they consumed.G.The continuity(连续性)in the online and offline browsing experience makes WeChat successful in keeping our attention on the display of our phones.完形填空When I opened my door this morning, I saw a sign that says, "Good morning, beautiful business."It is a reminder to me of just how beautiful our business can be when we put all our care and energy into it.I 1 the White Dog Cafe in 1983 on the first floor of my house.

AI recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical achievements. A newspaper reporter interviewed him why he was able to be so much more creative than theaverage person. What set him so far apart from othersHe responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he dropped the slippery bottle, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor—a real sea of milk!When his mother came into the kitchen,instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”Indeed, the boy did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. How would you like to do that We could use a sponge(海绵),a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said,“You know,what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it. ”The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with bothhands, he could make it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes.21.When the mother found the kitchen floor covered with milk, she ________.A. gave the boy a lecture instead of shouting at himB. praised the boy instead of punishing himC. felt satisfied with the boy's trying to help himselfD. calmed down the boy and helped him find a way to clean the floor22.The child's experience resulted in the following BUT ________.A. offering the boy a chance to grasp the bottleB. benefiting the boy all his lifeC. helping the boy be more creativeD. making the boy realize the mistake is of value23. According to the passage, the way the scientist's mother used is ________.A. instructiveB. strictC. formalD. strangeBToday's buzz words, which include global warming and zero emissions, are causing everyday people (not just celebrities) to look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Based on this trend, entire districts,known as eco-communities, are being designed with green initiatives in mind. Dockside Green in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada is one of these communities. If everything goes according to plan, Dockside Green will be a self-sufficient community. The plans describe a variety of environmental features, some of which have never been seen.Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they make. They ensure proper ventilation (通风), and guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air. Interior and exterior building materials, such as paints and wood, are natural and non-toxic (无毒的). Eco-conscious builders use bamboo wherever possible because it is durable and does not require pesticides to grow.Energy efficiency is one of the top priorities in eco-communities, such as Dockside Green. Not only do energy-efficient appliances and light fixtures reduce the environmental impact of heating and hot water, they also save residents and business owners money. Dockside Green claims that home owners will use 55% less energy than average residents in Canada. Studies show that people use approximately 20% less energy when they are billed for exactly what they use. In addition, water is treated at Dockside Green and reused on site for flushing toilets. Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the future into account. Dockside Green plans on reusing 90% of its construction waste. They also plan to continue using local suppliers forall of their transport and maintenance needs. This is a great way to reduce emissions. Finally, plans are in the works for a high-tech heating system that will use renewable biomass instead of fossil fuels.The first two stages of development at Dockside Green have already been completed, and many other plans are in the works. Other smaller eco-villages can be found around the world. Residents of these communities aim to reduce their carbon footprint and be models for sustainable living.24. The purpose of the article is to __________.A. introduce eco-communitiesB. describe Dockside Green’s plansC. advertise Dockside GreenD. illustrate sustainable living25. According to the article, what percentage of energy saving will Dockside Green residents saveA. 100%.B. 90%.C. 55%.D. 20%.26. Bamboo is an environmentally friendly choice for builders because it __________.A. provides good air circulationB. keeps pests out of housesC. is toxic substances freeD. can be used for a long time27. What will Dockside Green try to do in the futureA. To find fossil fuel alternatives.B. To develop an interior transportation system.C. To use most of construction waste again.D. To cooperate with other eco-villages.CAs you move out of your teens and into your 20s and 30s, your musical tastes start to solidify and you likely quit keeping up with popular music. Now, research has found the average age at which your music library is unlikely to change: 33.The study's author reached this conclusion by analyzing data on U. S. Spotify users and comparing it to artist popularity data from music intelligence company The Echo Nest.To determine the age at which we stop seeking out new tunes, the author gathered self-reported age data from Spotify and looked at users' " Taste Profiles," which tracks how many times listeners have streamed individual artists. These artists were then matched to their popularity rank on The Echo Nest.The average teen listens almost only to music among the Billboard, the 200 highest-ranking albums in the country, but this music represents a smaller part of their streaming as they age. In their teens, they listen to a lot of the same music, over and over again. Frank T. McAndrew, a professor of psychology at Knox College, explains that's the "mere exposure effect" at work, and it basically means, the more we're exposed to something, the more we like it.There are many reasons why a person may stop streaming the currenttop musical hits, and the author looked into one by identifying Spotify listeners with large amounts of children's music and nursery rhymes in their libraries. In other words, when users may have become parents. But the study concludes with some good news for parents: “If you're getting older and can't find yourself staying as relevant as you usedto, have nofear — just wait for your kidsto becometeenagers, and you'll get exposed to all thepopularmusic of the day once again!”28. What happens after teens grow olderA. They quit listening to music.B. Their interest in music fades.C. They change their music libraries.D. Their musical tastes become stable.29. What is the way of the researchA. Interviews.B. Analyzing data.C. Observation.D. Tracking popularity.30. How do teens develop their musical tastesA. They listen to what they like repeatedly.B. They act like their favorite popular stars.C. They experience different styles of music.D. They like high-ranking music worldwide.31. What's the good news for parents in the last paragraphA. Parents will regain their faith in music.B. Parents will influence their teens in music.C. Parents will hear their favorite music again.D. Parents will enjoy the music for teens again.DThey still bite, but new research shows lab-grown mosquitoes are fighting dengue fever — a dangerous disease that they normally would spread. Dengue infections appear to be dropping fast in communities in Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil and Australia that are filled with the specially grown mosquitoes.Researchers first injected (注射)mosquito eggs with Wolbachia bacteria that's common in insects and harmless to people in a lab. Infected females then pass the bacteria on through their eggs. Releasing enough Wolbachia carriers, both the females that bite and the males that don't, allows mating(交配)to spread the bacteria through a local mosquito population.Rather than using chemicals to wipe out pests, “this is really about transforming the mosquito," said Cameron Simmons of the nonprofit World Mosquito Program, which is conducting the research.The first success came from Australia. Mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia were released in parts of North Queensland starting in 2011, and gradually spread through the local mosquito population. Dengue is spread when a mosquito bites someone who is infected, and then bites another person, but somehow Wolbachia blocks that — and local spread has nearly disappeared in those North Queensland Communities,Simmons said.The studies are continuing in other countries. But the findings, presented at a meeting of the American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, suggest it's possible to turn at least some mosquitoes from a public health threat into annoying biters.The work marks “exciting progress," said Michigan State University professor Zhiyong Xi, who wasn't involved with the project but has long studied how Wolbachia can turn mosquitoes against themselves.More research is needed, specialists cautioned. "The results are pretty exciting — strong levels of reductions — but there clearly are going to be things to be learned from the areas where the reductions are not as great," said Penn State University professor Elizabeth McGraw.32. What can we learn about the lab-grown mosquitoesA. They lose the ability to bite people.B. They become harmful to human beings.C. They carry dangerous Wolbachia bacteria.D. They spread Wolbachia bacteria by mating.33. What does the underlined word "that" refer to in Paragraph 4A. The bite from a mosquito.B. The local community.C. The spread of Dengue.D. The infected person.34. What do the last two paragraphs suggestA. This research proves a complete success.B. Scientists agree on this research.C. There is still room for improvement.D. Mosquitoes turn themselves against harmful ones.35. What is the best title for the textA. Bacteria- infected Mosquitoes Bite Deadly Dengue.B. Transform Mosquitoes into Annoying BitersC. Fight against Mosquitoes with WolbachiaD. Harmless Mosquitoes Are on Their Way第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

B.A pavilion painted in green.C.A pavilion with more sunshine. D.A pavilion with cleaner air.BInternational travel is no longer the only right of the rich. Over the next several decades, hundreds of millions of new entrants(加入者)to the middle class will want not only the things-but also the experiences-that money can buy.Indian call-center employers, Russian engineers, Chinese middle managers, and Brazilian salespeople are already searching the web for information on trips. They want to see Paris from the Eiffel Tower, relax in the Maldives, and play blackjack in Las Vegas. According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, international tourist visits are expected to double soon, from roughly 800 million in 2008 to 1.6 billion by 2020. However, only so many people can visit a particular building or beach in a given year. Where will all the other tourists go? This skyrocketing demand for travel will lead to a “scarcity of place” and to three probable market responses: First, most tourism-related prices, such as hotel room rates in popular cities, will continue toescalate as demand outstrips supply. Second, people’s waiting to visit certain places will become commonplace. Finally, surprising prices and decade4-long waiting lists will cause the creation and expansion of tourist attractions in both developed and developing countries.4.What is mainly talked about in passage?A.Wealthy people’s wish for travel.B.Middle class people in different counties.C.Problems of international travel in the future.D.The way to search the web for travel information.5.We know from the passage that Brazilian salespeople .A.are rich people B.belong to middle classC.like travel most D.use the Internet often6.The underlined word “scarcity” probably means .A.growth B.supply C.popularity D.shortage7.It can be inferred that in the future .A.people will develop more tourist attractionsB.more people will travel by rocketC.the number of the tourists will reduceD.hotel room rates will rise everywhereCThere’s a widespread perception(观念)in the United States that a university degree is the key to success. But a growing number of educators now say there are other possibilities, especially for students who might not succeed at the university level.This is not a traditional classroom. At the apprentice (学徒)program run by the Plumbers and Steamfitters Union in the state of Maryland, Travis Strawderman and other students make money while they learn. “It’s completely changed my life around,” he said. “I’ve been able to pay off all my debts. I can say I’m actually responsible enough to have my own family.”Strawderman’s five-year program teaches him technical skills free of charge. He says he considered university, but it didn’t interest him. Economics Professor Robert Lerman says Strawderman is not alone. “A lot of people are bored in high school,” Lerman stated. “They leavehigh school because they are bored. They want to do something besides sitting in a classroom.”Lerman says the education system in the United States is too focused on pushing students to attend university. “What we’re doing now is we’re saying unless you learn in this way you don’t really have the chance for a rewarding career,” he said.But Chad Aldeman, an analyst, says studies show the longer students stay in school the better chance they have at having a high paying and stable career. “If you only are a high school graduate your wages are going to drop over you Lifetime-as opposed to a college degree,” he said. “The college is really an insurance policy against unemployment and against low wages”. 8.Where does Travis Strawdeman learn?A.In a university. B.In a traditional classroom.C.At an apprentice program. D.In a high school.9.What can we infer from the passage?A.Robert and Chad have different opinions.B.Professor Lerman teaches Travis technical skills.C.Travis will have a high paying and stable career.D.Travis liked high school and studied well.10.Which might be the best title for the passage?A.New education programmesB.A University degree, key to success or notC.Problems in high schoolD.An insurance policy against low wagesDMost kinds of rose plants come from Asia. But roses are also native to other areas including northwest Africa, Europe and the United States. In 1986, Congress chose the rose as American’s national flower. Technically, Congress and President Ronald Reagan declared it the “national floral emblem(国花).” Whatever the name, the decision did not smell sweet to supporters of other popular flowers.Some people say roses are difficult to grow. But you have a good chance of success if you start with a few suggestions from experts. You should plant your roses where they can getsunshine for about six hours on bright days. You can buy roses from a garden center or by mail order. You can buy potted roses, also known as container roses, or bare-root plants. Each kind has its fans.Some gardeners say potted roses are easier to plant. They say the roots develop better. But Jeffrey Dinslage, an expert, points out that bare-root roses come without soil. So they weigh less to transport.Another expert advises getting bare-root roses as close to planting time as you can.. If they arrive before you are ready to plant them, make sure the packing material is moist. Keep the plants in a cool, dark place. The resting plants have no leaves but still need water. When growing roses, the soil should feel moist deep down. Watering should be done in the morning.But do not water too much. People often ask Jeffrey Dinslage about unhealthy discoloration on rose leaves. He says the spots are usually caused by too much water. After heavy rains or too much watering, he advises pulling away mulch, the substance used to protect the roots, to improve the quality of the soil, temporarily from around the roots. This will help dry the soil. 11.From the first paragraph, we know that in the United States .A.all the people like rosesB.there are a lot of national flowersC.some roses don' t smell sweetD.there are some other popular flowers12.How many kinds of roses can you buy according to the passage?A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Six.13.Why does Jeffrey Dinslage suggest planting bare – root roses?A.They are easier to plant.B.Their roots develop better.C.They are cheap to transport.D.Their leaves need no water.14.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “moist”?A.Slightly wet. B.Pretty dry.C.Too hard. D.Lightly soft.15.According to Jeffrey Dinslage, people should to avoid the sports on rose leaves.A.not water roses in the morning B.protect the roots of roses C.improve the quality of the soil D.not water roses very much1—15 BCACB DACAB DBCAD。

专题限时集训(八) 主旨大意之确定文章标题A(2020·衡水市第一次联考)The world's first hydrogen­powered trains have begun running in Germany. They began carrying passengers Monday in Germany's northern Lower Saxony.The new train will run 100­kilometer trips and can travel up to 140 k ilometers an hour.A French railroad company called Alstom built the two trains.Teams in Germany and France cooperated on the project,which was supported by the German government.The new train model,called the Coradia iLint,signals the beginning of efforts in Germany and other nations to move away from pollution­producing diesel(柴油) trains.The Coradia iLint is designed to run on non­electrified train lines with low levels of noise.It uses a process that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electrical power.If the system produces more energy than the train needs at that time,it can store the extra energy in batteries.The only emissions(排放物) are water and steam.A single tank of hydrogen can run a Coradia iLint train for about 1,000 kilometers.This is very similar to the distance a diesel­powered train can run on a single tank of diesel.Hydrogen­powered trains cost more than diesel trains to build,but Alstom officials say the operating costs are much lower.The company plans to provide another 14 Coradia iLint trains to Lower Saxony by 2021.The head of railroad operations in the area,Carmen Schwab,praised replacing diesel trains with hydrogen trains.She said the move was an important first step in using clean­burning technologies to reach climate protectio n goals.Officials say many of the area's wind turbines(涡轮机) will produce part of the energy to create the hydrogen to power the trains.Alstom says several other European countries have also expressed interest in developing hydrogen train systems.France has already said it wants its first hydrogen train to be operating by 2022.【语篇解读】本文是一篇科普类说明文。

核心考点八情态动词与虚拟语气——使表达得体、含蓄1.He ________ fatter but he eats too little.A.would become B.would have becomeC.must become D.must have become解析根据语意知道我们可以在but he eats too little前加上一个省去的条件状语从句if he ate much,由此可知是与现在时相反所以主句用would become。

答案 A2.He ________ if he works hard for the people.A.shall praise B.shall be praisedC.will praise D.will be praised解析句意:如果他为人民努力工作,他会受到表扬。

说话人希望他受到表扬,而will表示的是句子的主语的意愿,那样意思就是“他愿意受到表扬”,显然不对。

shall用于第三人称可表示说话人对某人所持有的主观立场和坚定的信念。

答案 B3.There was a lot of fun at yesterday's party.You ________ come,but why didn't you?A.must have B.shouldC.need have D.ought to have解析该空含你本来应来但实际未来之意,应填ought to have。

阅读理解技能保分练(八)主旨大意题——标题归纳类A[2021·河南省高考适应性测试]An amazing occurrence happened in South Africa when 31 elephants made a journey to pay their respect to their hero who had saved their lives and many other animals. Lawrence Anthony, a legend (传奇人物) in South Africa and author of three books including the bestseller The Elephant Whisperer, bravely rescued elephants and other wildlife all over the globe, including the courageous rescue of Baghdad Zoo animals in 2003. On March 7, 2012, Lawrence Anthony died.Two days after his passing, the wild elephants showed up at his home led by two old female elephants. Separate wild groups arrived to say goodbye to their beloved man­friend. A total of 31 elephants had patiently walked over 12 miles to reach his South African house. Witnessing this sight, humans were obviously in awe (敬畏) not only because of the precise timing that these elephants sensed about Lawrence's passing, but also because of the deep memory and emotion the beloved animals showed in such an organized way.Walking slowly — for days — they made their way in a one­by­one queue from their home in the wild bush to his house. Lawrence's wife, Francoise, was especially touched, knowing that the elephants had not been to his house prior to (在前面的) that day for well over three years! They knew where they were going and they seemed to know why they were going to Lawrence's home. The elephants obviously wanted to pay their deep respect, honoring their human friend who had saved their lives — so much respect that they stayed for two days and two nights without eating anything.After honoring Lawrence Anthony in the only way they could, then one morning, they left, making their long journey back home.1.When did the elephants appear at Lawrence Anthony's house?A.On March 5, 2012. B.On March 7, 2012.C.On March 9, 2012. D.On March 11, 2012.2.Which paragraph(s) show(s) the elephants were intelligent, emotional and well­organized?A.Paragraph 1.B.Paragraph 2.C.Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3.D.Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4.3.What makes Lawrence Anthony a legend?A.The bestseller The Elephant Whisperer.B.The wild elephants' amazing occurrence.C.His rescue of wildlife all over the world.D.His special way of living with wild animals.4.What is the best title for the text?A.An honorable legendB.A long journey back homeC.Well­organized wild elephantsD.The day they rememberedB[2021·太原市高三期末]I was invited to give a speech at a conference on education. I happened to sit next to Clay Parker, the CEO of a technology company that makes micro electronics devices.For the last few years, I'd been reading about the rapidly changing world of work and was increasinglyconcerned that students are not prepared for today's workplace. Buried in book knowledge, university students talk like a book and always pass exams with flying colours. However, when facing HR staff instead of their teachers, what they have learned seems useless. So I asked Parker what qualities he most wanted in a potential new employee. I expected a list of technical skills — especially since Parker is an engineer himself — but I was way off__the__mark.“First, I look for someone who asks good questions,” Parker responded. “Our business is changing, and so are the skills of our engineers. We can teach them the technical stuff. But for employees willing to solve problems or to learn new things, they have to know what questions to ask. And we can't teach them how to ask good questions — how to think. The ability to ask the right questions reflects good thinking ability, the most important quality.”Indeed, the ability to ask good questions has been a repeated theme in almost all of my conversations about core competences and skills for success in today's workplace. It turns out that asking good questions goes hand in hand with the problem solving ability in the minds of most employers.The students have always been brought up to live up to a certain standard and so much emphasis has been put on fixed rules and giving the expected answer of their teachers instead of raising a question. We teachers are always blaming the students for giving wrong answers. Perhaps we should ask ourselves whether we are always asking the right questions.5.Why did the author ask Parker the question?A.To bring the CEO's attention to education.B.To collect information about his company.C.To ask for his opinion about the conference.D.To know his requirements for new employees.6.What does the underlined words “off the mark” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Mistaken. B.Not qualified.C.Confused. D.Not professional.7.What does Parker value his employees for?A.Teamwork. B.Thinking ability.C.Technical skills. D.Professional knowledge.8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.How to Hunt for a JobB.Asking Questions MattersC.An Encounter with a CEOD.Problem­solving Makes a DifferenceC[2021·绵阳市第二次诊断]Going through social media can quickly convince you that everyone's life is more interesting than yours. During a particularly adventurous week on social media some months ago, I saw water skiing in Maui, and swimming with wild pigs in the Bahamas. Wild pigs! I started searching flights to new places online, imagining adventures. Then I ordered food from the place I eat at every week and... felt bad about not trying somewhere new.Recent research about repeat and novel experiences suggests that we ought to reconsider those negative feelings associated with repetition. Ed O'Brien, a professor at The University of Chicago, launched a series of studies on this topic. “There's a general belief that if you want to seem like an interesting, cultured person, the best thing you can do is to showcase that you're open to new experiences,” he says. “That may be true, but I think we take for granted the value of really digging deep into one field.”To test this hypothesis (假设), O'Brien and his team exposed all participants to the same stimulus (刺激), including museum visits, movies, and video games. Next, some people were asked to imagine repeating the experience, while others actually did repeat what they had done. The researchers found that on the whole, participants said that repeating experiences was often far more enjoyable than they had predicted.There is joy in repetition partly because every human mind wanders. Consequently, we miss a good part of every experience. Repeating things can really be seen as another opportunity to actually experience something fully. O'Brien's studies show that people are too quick to assume that they've “seen all the layers” even in those cases where they haven't. It's safe to assume there are more explorable layers in any experience. When we're noticing new things in any experience, our brain becomes engaged. All we need to do is approach whatever task is at hand by searching for the things that we didn't see in it the first time around.9.Why does the author mention his experience in Paragraph 1?A.To introduce the bad feelings linked to repetition.B.To show novel experiences are more interesting.C.To tell us a common belief about social media.D.To present to us his new, imagined adventures.10.What did O'Brien's studies find?A.People were open to new experiences.B.Imagination was exciting on the whole.C.Repeating experiences made one bored.D.Digging deep into one field was enjoyable.11.How can we keep our brain engaged?A.By assuming we didn't see all at first.B.By searching for the ignored elements.C.By approaching whatever task is at hand.D.By keeping focused on every experience.12.What is the best title for this passage?A.Novel Experiences Enrich UsB.More Layers Keep the Mind BusyC.Repetition Makes People HappyD.Wandering Minds Help People Explore阅读理解技能保分练(八)A语篇类型:记叙文主题语境:人与自然——人与动物——知恩图报的大象【文章大意】Lawrence Anthony是南非的一名动物保护者。

第八组(建议用时:35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·贵阳高三适应性监测考试)Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款机), I said hello to an old couple who were also paying for gas.I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke began pouring from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank­you note for helping me. Soon afterwards, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In the late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?”I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment. When I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say “thank you”,and it meant a lot, he said.“Thank you”—two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.1.Why did the writer get into the old couple’s car?A.His parents were in the car.B.His car had broken down.C.His friend told him to do so.D.His car’s oil had run out.2.From the text, we know that the old couple were ________.A.talkative B.braveC.kind D.lonely3.What did the old couple think of helping the writer?A.They could get a reward.B.It made their holiday worthy.C.They did it by chance.D.It was due to a thank-you letter.4.What would be the best title for the text?A.An Experience to MissouriB.An Old CoupleC.A Meaningful HolidayD.A Meaningful Thank­youB(2015·呼和浩特第一次调研)It is not so long ago that the extended family lived under the same roof. Children grew up knowing their cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, and other relatives. These children felt connected.In these not too­long­ago times people were connected to their food. Most people grew their own vegetables and fruit. Many families had a house cow for milk, cheese, butter and cream.Most families also had meat animals. When visitors came unexpectedly, dad would be sent out back to kill the chicken for dinner. Everyone was involved in cooking and mealtimes were a social event. When the meal ended, most of the family were involved in cleaning up and washing up.How different is the situation today?The fast life is all around us—fast food, fast cars, fast conversations, fast families, fast holidays. Our fast paced life has weakened these connections. We have been fooled into thinking we need to, or even must, be fast and have what the “fast life”gives us. Stress is leading to many new health problems.The solution is the Slow Movement. It aims to deal with the problem of “time poverty”through making connections. It supports a growing cultural shift towards slowing down. It has spread to more than sixty countries and become a worldwide movement.The Slow Movement tells us that we need to slow down and connect with our life. We need connection to people—ourselves, our family, our community, our friends—to food, to places(where we live), and to life. By being part of the Slow Movement, many people have known how they lost connection to most aspects of their life and to the natural world and rhythms around them. And more importantly, they have reconnected—they have lived a new connected lifestyle.5.If we are connected to our food, we ________.A.eat each meal slowlyB.buy our food by ourselvesC.enjoy our mealtimes with other family membersD.prepare and cook our food by ourselves6.According to the text, which group of the following words can be used to describe today’s life?A.Healthy, busy, disconnected.B.Rich, disconnected, comfortable.C.Fast, busy, stressful.D.Convenient, relaxing, fast.7.According to the author, many people have ________.A.got used to fast lifeB.had unwise opinions about fast lifeC.had diseases caused by fast foodD.benefited from fast life8.What’s the purpose of the text?A.To compare modern life with traditional life.B.To explain the meaning of making a connection.C.To explain the disadvantages of disconnected life.D.To support a world­wide movement.Ⅱ.七选五(2015·河北五个一名校联盟监测二)Guide for TeenagersThe teenage years can be tough,and it’s normal to feel sad every now and then.But if these feelings don’t go away or become so intense that you can’t handle them,you may be suffering from depression.1.________.Try not to isolate yourselfWhen you’re depressed,you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything.Just getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult,but isolating yourself only makes depression worse.2.________.Spend time with friends,especially those who are active.Keep your body healthyMaking healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your moods.Ever heard of “Runners High”?Physical activity can be as effective as medications for depression,so get involved in sports,ride your bike,or take a dance class.Any activity helps!3.________.As for food,make sure you’re feeding your mind with plenty of fruits,vegetables,and whole grains.Avoid alcohol and drugsYou maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a “mood boost”,even if just for a short time.However,substance abuse can not only make depression worse,but can cause you to become more depressed.4.________.You will need special treatment for your substance abuse problem.5.________Stress and worry can lead to depression.Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming.In addition,if you have a health concern you feel you can’t talk to your parents about,see a doctor.A health professional can help you approach your parents and guide you toward appropriate treatment.If you’re dealing with relationships,friendships,or family problems,talk to an adult you trust.A.Ask for help if you are stressedB.Even a short walk can be beneficialC.Turn to your parents for helpD.As you get out into the world,you may find yourself feeling betterE.In short,drinking and taking drugs will make you feel worse—not better—in the long run F.The more exercise you do,the healthier you will beG.Help is available and you have more power than you thinkⅢ.短文改错(2015·云南第一次统一检测)A foreign student graduated with honors from a finely university in Germany. He expected to find a good job and have a bright future. But in his disappointment, he wasn’t even giving the chance for an interview! The third time he was refused, he phoned the company to ask how. “We don’t employ dishonest people in Germany”is theanswer. What was wrong? Shortly before he arrived in Germany, he found easy to steal subway rides. But he often rode without a ticket and was caught up three times. Now he had to pay a high price for his own behavior. We should all keep in minds:honesty is the best policy.第八组Ⅰ.阅读理解【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

高三英语二轮专题复习8任务型读写

第8章任务型读写(一)(2011·安徽卷) If we agree that the function of education is to prepare us for life, then there is very little time to waste. So, while we can, we ought to concentrate on teaching children something really useful. Here is what our school should teach.Politeness is a mark of civilazation. The sooner children learn this, the better. In any case, a lot can be accomplished by a smile and good manners.Like it or not, our adult lives will be consumed by the struggle for money, but we don't make an effort to teach children how to manage it. So our schools have a duty to teach them this ability from the beginning.We're likely to accept something we are told, but that's not what educated people do. Educated people are reasonable and they look at facts. If our schools teach nothing else, they should at least teach critical(批判性的)thinking.Children should learn to take care of their health. They should know that if they eat junk food(垃圾食品), they will become fat and unhealthy. They should be very clear about what happens to their bodies when they drink or smoke.All of us are part of society. We have rights and responsibilities. We ought to understand what they are. We have to know a little bit of our history and geography, because we need to have an environment in which to relate to the people around us.How will we test students on these? We can't. But that's not a reason to avoid teaching what is important. Ou r schools should spend every moment they have telling this to our children: “Thisis life, this is what you are going to face, and this is how you deal with it.”本文主要讲述了教育者应教给孩子们的非常重要的知识,那就是:懂礼貌,学会理财,批判性的思维方式,照顾自己的健康以及作为社会的一分子应承担的责任等。

阅读理解题型分类练(八) 主旨大意题——文章大意类A[2023·山东省青岛市高三检测] In 2014, Mahoney performed an act of kindness as part of a Facebook challenge. She picked a 79­year­old senior named Wagner, who regularly gave back to the community. Mahoney wanted to know Wagner better, so they spent a day together, picking up groceries and getting their nails done. “It was the first time in years that someone had made a day about her,” says Mahoney.Their shared experience got Mahoney thinking. How many other seniors might benefit from dedicated attention? She came up with a plan: find local seniors with long­time dreams and work to fulfill their wishes. She named the new charity: We Are Young, or WAY for short.Seniors can nominate (提名) themselves or be nominated by someone else; wishes are then assessed by a community committee that lo oks at factors such as age­related physical barriers, social isolation and financial need.Melanie nominated her husband, 78­year­old Victor, to go rockhounding, a hobby he'd given up when it became too physically difficult to access the bay where he hunted for geodes (晶洞). The team at WAY hired a boat for him and his son so they could reach the bay and search out geodes on the beach. “Now, Victor has regained his self­confidence and is willing to take on new challenges. We want to show that anything is possible with the support of others,” says Mahoney.Up to now, WAY has delivered on 41 dreams, ranging from a helicopter trip over a childhood blueberry­picking spot to travelling to Toronto to watch a Blue Jays game. While her charity operates only in Nova Scotia, Mahoney has her own dream. Each WAY wish is recorded on video, and she wants people watching to be inspired to fulfill a wish for a senior in their own community. “We want to create a national movement that shifts how we as a society view, value and support seniors,” says Mahoney. “That is the impact we're trying to create.”1.Why did Mahoney set up WAY?A.To complete a Facebook challenge.B.To give back to local communities.C.To do daily chores for the elderly.D.To help seniors realize their goals.2.How has WAY affected Victor?A.He has made more friends.B.He has started a new hobby.C.He has become high­spirited.D.He has regained his son's support.3.What does Mahoney intend to do by recording videos?A.Rise to fame and fortune overnight.B.Keep memories alive for the elderly.C.Positively change our attitude towards the elderly.D.Improve interpersonal relationship in the community.4. What is the text mainly about?A.Lifelong dreams.B.A charity for seniors.C.Problems seniors meet.D.An unforgettable experience.B[2023·湖北省高三调研] More cities, states and regions are committing to comprehensive climate plans to decarbonize (减少碳排放) transportation by 2040. The need for action is now, and we need to rise to the challenge quickly. Google technology is unlocking our ability to generate climate­related insights and impact on the globe.The transportation sector is where global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are rising the quickest. In 2018, Google launched the Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE). Using AI, the systems analyze transportation trends in a city by mode, helping local governments assess their progress in tackling GHG emissions. GHG inventory processes (温室气体排放清单) traditionally take months and multiple data sources to collect, and are now highly efficient, allowing government staff to reduce the cost and personnel burden of reporting.In pursuit of helping more cities take action against climate change, we will make transportation insights available in EIE for over 20,000 cities and regional governments by the end of the year, making it one of the largest ever collections of high­quality, globally consistent environmental data sources.With EIE, cities have free access to Google's unique mapping data and insights so they can decide on cleaner transport policies. As part of Google's most ambitious decade of climate action, we've committed to helping more than 500 cities and local governments reduce a total sum of 1 billion tons of carbon emissions per year by 2030 and beyond.As the window continues to narrow on carrying out policies and plans to reduce emissions, we're collaborating with other associations, committed to addressing climate change. Our work with Cities Climate Leadership Group(C 40) will help us better support the needs of cities. Together we can provide higher­quality transportation activity data to measure and track GHG emissions at a global scale, while also giving state and local governments resources to better understand what's working at a local level.5.What can we learn about EIE from paragraph 2?A.It takes over government staff's work.B.It predicts transportation trends in a city.C.It results in the rising of GHG emissions.D.It deals with data collection and analysis.6.What is the purpose of the project EIE?A.To promote Google's ambitious climate action.B.To help cities make more sustainable decisions.C.To provide environmental protection resources.D.To partner with 40 countries for climate solutions.7.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “collaborating” in the last paragraph?A.Cooperating. B.Compromising.C.Competing. D.Corresponding.8.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Google helps calculate people's carbon footprint with EIE.B.Local governments benefit from environmental data sources.C.Technology does its part in the action against climate change.D.Technology can increase people's environmental consciousness.C[2023·安徽省高三四月联考] Social media has completely taken over everyday life, affecting how society runs and changing individuals in ways that even they can feel. While social media can act as a platform for people to express themselves, it can also be overwhelming, especially for high school teens.To teenager Bryson Lan, deleting social media helped eliminate a significant distraction in his routine and keep up with teachers. “I was scrolling (滚动) through social networking sites so much,” Lan said. “I was also starting to struggle since I entered my high school year. When school started, I was super overwhelmed (不知所措的), and I was just not ready for it.”Most teenagers fear that by eliminating these apps, they will miss out on connections with their peers and feel a significant loss to their social life. However, Lan found he didn't miss anything during his time without social media.Another problem with social media is the amount of “junk content” posted. People are regularly posting and updating on social media, and much of the content has no meaning to other viewers and is ultimately a__time__suck.However, social media isn't all negative. Social media can be a place to develop passions and boost creativity. For example, Lan found his interest in photography blossom after seeing works from other pho tographers on social media. “Social media is a good place where you can have a portfolio (作品集) or upload your works,” Lan said. “A lot of people have photography accounts or art accounts. In some ways, I think it actually furthers your hobby.”The vast audience that social media can reach brings convenience and effectiveness in the spread of art. Although some people might be discouraged by other artists' impressive works, Lan is inspired to produce better photographs.“Thanks to this revolutionary developm ent of social media, we can enjoy a world where everyone is closer than before,” Lan said. “But we also need to have the skills to make good use of social media, and that depends on each person's efforts.”9.What did getting rid of social media bring Lan?A.More distractions.B.Confusion about life.C.A smaller social circle.D.More attention on his studies.10.What does the underlined phrase “a time suck” in Paragraph 4 mean?A.A waste of time. B.A timetable.C.A lack of time. D.A time switch.11.What's Lan's attitude towards social media?A.Doubtful. B.Unclear.C.Objective. D.Supportive.12.What's the main idea of the text?A.Most teenagers' opinions on social media.B.The effects social media has on teenagers.C.Innovative development of social media.D.The problems social media brings people.阅读理解题型分类练(八)A【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。

阶段转动赔偿练八限时 40 分钟Ⅰ. 阅读理解The power of humor and laughter is numerous. They entertain us and make us feel good. But, above all, we have discovered that humor and laughter are the best medicine. They relieve pain, reduce stress and anxiety, and are anti-aging and longevity facilitators.They are extremely necessary for helping us to find and maintain a balance between life and work. However, they are slipping away from us. We have becomefar too serious. The only ones who still enjoy humor, laughter, fun and play to the fullest are young children. Children tend to laugh an average of 200 times a day. For adults, however, it is a totally different story.In the 1950s people laughed on average 18 times a day. Today, we are lucky if we average between 4-6 times a day.As a matter of fact, a recent study found that people laugh 6 more times in the presence of one person but 30 more times in a group of people. You can get achuckle(轻声笑 )from jokes you get on the Internet, but it is not the same as belly jiggling laughter(a deep laugh)you get when you interact with others.Socializing with friends and relatives was much looked forward to. However, thisis no longer the case. In fact, the majority of people can hardly find time, nor do theyhave the inclination towards socializing outside home. They turn to electronic media such as televisions, computers, the Internet, videos, CDs, and audio equipment, which can provide them with instant self-entertainment at the push of a button.The workplace does not fare(进展 )much better. Due to the pressures to produce more in the same or fewer hours available and to compete, for example, in a manufacturing field with cheaper labor elsewhere in the world, humor and laughter in the workplace have gradually eroded(渐渐破坏 )away.I have developed a real appreciation, perhaps closer to a strong desire for the power of humor and laughter. This encouraged me to write my first book titled The Power of Humor and subsequently my second book titled Kids Say the Goggonest Things based on the natural humor, laughter, play and fun that kids experience and they freely share with parents, grandparents and teachers.From writing about humor and laughter, people start to ask me to speak up for them. To date, I have developed a number of humor-laughter topics that I use in my keynote presentations.

measure underground changes caused by shifts in barometric pressure,a team of researchers found that increases in underground pressure came before earthquakes along California’s San Andreas Fault by as much as 10 hours.If follow­up tests confirm these findings,seismologists may eventually be able to provide a few hours’ notice for people to fin d a safe place before quakes.“Predicting earthquakes is the final goal for seismologists,” says Fenglin Niu,the research team’s lead author and a Rice University seismologist.“This is a start.”The research team theorizes that the immense amount of pressure building along the Fault causes small cracks within the rock during the final hours before an earthquake,which increases rock density and slows the transmission signals.“The more cracks you have,the slower the seismic velocity (震波速度) will be,” says study co­author Paul Silver,a geophysicist with the Carnegie Institution of Washington.Still unknown is whether there is any significance to the fact that the magnitude­3 quake had a much longer pre­seismic signal than lower­magnitude quakes,or whether it was simply because its magnitude was larger and its epicenter (震中) was closer to the sensors.If scientists can flesh out the new findings during future earthquakes—a two­year study at the same seismically active location begins this September—it could form the basis of a vastly improved early­warning system for quakes.Current earthquake­warning systems give just a few seconds’ notice because they detect only P­waves,the fast­moving seismic waves that precede the more destructive waves released during a quake.Upgrading to a seismic stress meter,however,is still a long way off.1.The author wrote this passage to tell us something about ________.A.a traditional way of predicting earthquakesB.the importance of predicting earthquakesC.a new way of predicting earthquakesD.the damages caused by horrible earthquakes2.According to the passage,we can infer that the traditional way of predicting earthquakes ________.A.costs much more than the new oneB.produces accurate informationC.does not provide enough time for people to escapeD.is less accurate than the new one3.The new way mentioned in the passage predicts earthquakes by ________.A.measuring the changes of the P­wavesB.looking for the epicenter closest to the sensorsC.watching the movements of rocks above the groundD.measuring the pressure underneath the ground4.Which of the following factors probably will NOT influence the pre­seismic signal?A.The weather in the earthquake area.B.The magnitude of the earthquake.C.The position of the sensors.D.The position of the epicenter.5.According to the last paragraph,we learn that ______.A.the new discovery will be put into use soonB.a vastly improved

their homes and bodies tested for 89 environmental pollutants—including pesticides (杀虫剂) and chemicals found in plastics and cleaning products.On average 20 chemicals were found on their bodies or in their homes.Much is unknown about the possible health effects of chemicals in everyday household products.But certain chemicals—like phthalates (邻苯二甲酸盐) found in plastics—have been linked to potential health risks,including higher risks of certain cancers,though the evidence mainly comes from research on lab animals.Other household chemicals are known to harm the skin,eyes and airways—and may worsen asthma (哮喘).Many more chemicals found remain untested.Chemicals likely come from a range of sources,so it is not always clear how to reduce people’s exposure,according to Dr.Rebecca Altman,the lead researcher on the new study.“However,” she said,“there are still measures people can take.”In the original study,she noted,women were given advice based on the particular chemicals they were exposed to—such as using fragrance­free washing liquid and personal­care products.For the current study,Altman and her colleagues interv iewed two dozen women who’d taken part in the previous study to see how they would react to information about their household chemical exposures.They found that the women were generally surprised at the range of chemicals found in their homes and bodies.They were also surprised that even some banned things were found.With many questions about the health effects of household chemicals unanswered,some experts worry that giving people information about their everyday exposures will cause unnecessary fear.However,the researchers found that the women in their study were typically not alarmed,and instead wanted “more rather than less” information on the issue.1.Which of the following statements about chemicals in household products is TRUE?A.Some of them have bad effects on health,while some have good effects.B.Long­term exposure to them is certain to cause a deadly illness.C.In the study it was found that certain chemicals can cause cancers.D.It is uncertain what effects some chemicals have on health.2.The underlined word “airways” in Paragraph 3 most probably refers to ________.A.the passage running from your nose and throat to the lungsB.things that look like fine threads growing in the bodyC.the passage between rows of rooms in a buildingD.the area just inside the front door of a building3.According to Dr.Rebecca Altman,________.A.women were more likely to be harmed by chemicalsB.fragrant products may contain harmful chemicalsC.it is unnecessary to inform people about the study resultsD.further study on everyday products should be done immediately4.What was the women’s attitude towards the study results?A.They were angry that so many chemicals were found.B.They refused to be subjects for the study any more.C.They were afraid of getting bad news about their health.D.They would like to know more related information.答案Ⅰ.1.A 2.C 3.C 4.B 5.B 6.C 7.B 8.C 9.C 10.B 11.D 12.C 13.C 14.C 15.BⅡ.1.C 2.C 3.B 4.D 5.B 6.A 7.B 8.D 9.B 10.D 11.A 12.B 13.A 14.C 15.D 16.B 17.C 18.B 19.C 20.CⅢ.1.D 2.A 3.B 4.D。
