It's coming！”I heard him make his revolver ready to fire，and I did the same.We tried to see into it, and wondered what horrible thing would appear.I looked at Holmes.His eyes were fixed on the place where the path disappeared into the fog.He was pale，but his eyes were bright.Then suddenly his eyes nearly jumped out of his head，and his mouth opened in frightened surprise.I looked away from him to see what his eyes were fixed on.When I saw the awful shape that was coming towards us out of the fog, my blood turned cold.The revolver nearly fell from my hands，________．The huge black burning hound(猎犬)ran quickly and silently after Sir Henry, who was near to death, and we were helpless with fear.【语篇解读】Watson和Holmes去Stapleton家探听情况，一条凶猛的猎犬的出现让他们感到非常害怕。

UNIT 3 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解AEfforts to preserve the Amazon rainforest are growing ever more urgent as the ecosystem's destruction accelerates. A recent study shows that a new program combining on-the-ground monitoring with satellite data and smartphone technology could help put the brakes on Amazon deforestation (毁林) — and potentially that of forests elsewhere.The scientists cooperated with 76 local communities, 36 of which participated in using satellitebased “early deforestation alerts”，an early-alert system on a smartphone app, to watch over the forest and to inspect forests and document damage. Over the next two years the participants were paid to work as forest monitors and received monthly alerts via the app when satellite data indicated local forest losses. Monitors investigated alerts and inspected for deforestation in the areas. They reported confirmed losses back to their communities, which decided whether to deal with the affairs on their own or inform state authorities.The researchers analyzed the same forest-loss satellite data from the given time period in all 76 communities. They found the program reduced forest loss by 8.4 hectares (公顷) in the first year — a 52 percent reduction compared with the average loss in the control communities, says Tara Slough, an economist at New York University. “This reduction in deforestation was concentrated in communities facing the largest threat of forest loss，” she adds.Results for the program were less striking in its second year, when forest loss was reduced by only 3.3 hectares compared with that in control communities. The researchers explain that a Peruvian government campaign against coca planting that year may have discouraged deforestation in both experimental and control communities, narrowing differences between the two groups in the program.Experts say this approach to dealing with Amazonian deforestation looks promising. Local groups may continue the work they started in the program. “We want to apply this in other communities. In doing so, we are making a contribution to the world，”wrote Francisco, a community member involved in the research.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

必修第三册UNIT3Ⅰ.阅读理解AThewaywedothingsroundhereSome years ago,I was hired by an American bank.I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department thatstarted,“Dear John,I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us.” That “quite” saddened me.I thought he was saying “we’re kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else.” Then I discovered that in American English “quite” sometimes means “very”,while in British English it means “fairly”.So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don’t just mean the words people speak.It is body language,dress,manners,ideas and so on.The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures.Some of these differences may be only on thesurface—dress,food and hours of work—while others may be deeperand take longer to deal with.Mostly,it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them,like the climate,while getting on with business.Some of the differences may be an improvement.People are more polite;the service is better;you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again.However,other differences can be troubling,like punctuality.If you invite people to a party at 7 o’clock,your guests will consider it polite to turn up ee in Germany,five minutes early in the American Midwest,an hour early in Japan,15 minutes afterwards in the UK,up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece.I prefer not to use the word “late” because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive.It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.1.The author was unhappy as mentioned in paragraph 1 because he thought .A.the American bank didn’t think much of himB.the American bank might hire another personC.it’s difficult to get used to American cultureD.it’s easy to misunderstand Americans2.The word “highlights” in paragr aph 2 probably means .A.encouragesB.helps to narrowC.increasesD.draws attention to3.According to the author,what should we do with most cultural differences?A.Ask the native people for help.B.Understand and accept them.C.Do things in our own way.D.Do in-depth research.4.When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are .A.ItaliansB.GermansC.GreeksD.the BritishB(河南洛阳二模)Song Lam,or Waiata to some of her New Zealand Maori friends,argues that Mandarin and Maori have much incommon,particularly the five vowels which sound the same in both languages.And the mythological figure Maui of Maori legend has a Chinese “twin brother”,the Monkey King.Both could turn themselves into any shape or figure at any time.Some academics claim that one of the native tribes in Taiwan,China speaks a language similar to Maori,notably in the naming of numbers.Evidence gleaned by archaeologists(考古学家) shows an ancient link between the peoples of Australasia and Taiwan,with the native language of Taiwan having similarities to the prehistoric Australasian language.Confused by Maori place names and customs when she first moved to New Zealand,Song Lam spent eight years researching and three years writing her book,TheMaoriofNewZealand,which is believed to be the first Chinese-language publication to include Maori words,values and customs.The 120-page book,including 10 pages ofphotos and maps,describes Maori legends,traditions,history and folk tales.Song Lam was inspired to write the book in 1990 when she tried to sign up for an education course in New Zealand and was asked for her comments on a local historical event,which she knew nothing about.She involved her two sons in her project and research after e the stories behind Maori place names.The younger boy,aged 10,used his skill at drawing to contribute a historic map of Maori tribes in New Zealand.“Both Chinese and Maori like to present a gift when visiting others or receiving a warm reception,” Lam says.“My book will bea good gift when I visit a Maori community.”5.According to Song Lam,what do Mandarin and Maori have in common?A.Fairy tales of the same character.B.Confusing place names and customs.C.Similar pronunciation of vowels.D.The magic power of the Monkey King.6.What does the underlined word “gleaned” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Controlled.B.Gathered.C.Grown.D.Switched.7.Why is Song Lam’s younger son mentioned in paragraph 4?A.To tell his curiosity about Maori.B.To prove his unique talent in painting.C.To stress the importance of education.D.To show his help with the publication.8.What is the best title for the text?A.Cultures Share Language BondB.The First Book about MaoriC.Adaptation to Life in New Zealandnguages Bridge MisunderstandingⅡ.七选五(湖南长沙雅礼中学一模)It can be very easy to stick with what you know,instead of trying to meet people who are different from you. 1 Here’s what you can do:Become self-aware. 2 This includes biases about your own cultural background.It can be confronting,but by doing this you’ll be able to think about how these traits might impact on your approach to and understanding of differences.You could try:Think about what assumptions you make about your friends,peers,and people you work with.Talk to someone from a different cultural background.Try and get to know someone from a different cultural background better.3 You’ll automatically find out more about their life and experiences.Just being curious and open-minded can be helpful.Be more accepting.Sometimes,for one reason or another,it’s not all that easy to understand some cultural differences. 4 In other words,you don’t have to understand,or even agree with someone in order to accept them.5 One of the biggest difficulties to overcome in understanding cultural differences is making judgments based on one opinion.You should do some research to actually learn about people,instead of making broad-brush assessments.Stereotyping(模式化) people from different cultural backgrounds can impact their quality of life and opportunities.A.Do your own research.B.Think beyond stereotypes.C.Practice being sympathetic towards people.D.Work out your own beliefs,values and personal biases.E.Instead of

Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential(潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spinoffs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even nonstick pans and mirrored sunglasses are byproduct s(副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is truethat the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.本文是一篇议论文，向我们阐述了人类进行太空探索的原因。

体裁：科普文话题：科学世界词数：360 时间：7′Sir John，a British scientist who won last year's Nobel Prize for medicine，said he had predicted at the time of his frog experiments that the successful cloning of a mammal would happen within 50 years，and that “maybe the same answer is appropriate” for the step to human cloning.Parents who lose children in accidents may be able to clone “copies” to replace them then.Although any attempt to clone an entire human would raise complex moral issues，the biologist claimed people would soon overcome their concerns if the technique became medically useful.Cloning was regarded with extreme doubts when it was first developed but became widely accepted after the birth of Louise Brown，the first “test tube baby”．He said，“When my first frog experiments were done，an American reporter asked how long it will be before these things can be done in mammals or humans.I said，‘Well，it could be anywhere between 10 years and 100 years—how about 50 years？’It turned out that it wasn't far off the mark as far as Dolly was concerned.Maybe the same answer is appropriate.”Sir John added that cloning a human being effectively means making an identical twin，and doctors would therefore simply be “copying wha t nature has already produced”．The average vote on allowing parents of deceased children，who are no longer fertile(能生育的)，to create another using the mother's eggs and skin cells from the first child，thinking the technique was safe and effective，is 60 per cent in favor.The reasons for “no” are usually that the new child would feel they were some sort of a replacement for something.【语篇解读】本文是一篇科普说明文。

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校江苏2017高考英语阅读理解一轮学生版训练（三）【阅读理解】For those who study the development of intelligence (智力) in the animal world，selfawareness is an important measurement. An animal that is aware (意识) of itself has a high level of intelligence.Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image (反射出的影像). Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying very little attention to the reflected image. Only humans，and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins，have been shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror sel freflection test.“We thought that elephants were the next important animal，”said Diana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M. Plotnik and Fans B. M. de Waal of Emory University. With their large brains，Reiss sai d, elephants “seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins.”The researchers tested Happy. Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo. They put an 8footsquare mirror on a wall of the animals' play area (out of the sight of zoo visitors) and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it，and to examine parts of their bodies.Of the three, Happy then passed the test，in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose. Diana Reiss said，“We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way.”文章通过实验说明能意识到自身形象的动物具有高智商。

体裁：议论文话题：家庭教育词数：726 时间：8′Is gun play good or bad for children？For many years I emphasized its harmlessness.When concerned parents expressed doubt about letting their children have toy guns，because they didn't want to encourage them in the slightest degree to become criminals，I would explain how little connection there was.In the course of growing up，children have a natural tendency to bring their aggressiveness more and more under control if their parents encourage this．Onetotwoyearolds，when they are angry with another child，may bite the child's arm without hesitation.But by 3 or 4 they have already learned that aggression is not right.However，they may pretend to shoot their mother or father，but smiling to assure them that the gun and the aggressive behaviour aren't to be taken seriously.In the 6to12yearold period，children will play an earnest game of war，but it has lots of rules.There may be arguments，but real fights are relatively rare.At this age children don't shoot at their mother or father，even in fun.It's not that the parents have turned stricter; the children's own conscience has.In adolescence aggressive feelings become much stronger，but well broughtup children can turn them into athletics and other competition or into kidding their friends.In other words，I'd explain that playing at war is a natural step in the disciplining of the aggression of young children; that a cautious parent doesn't really need to worry about producing a criminal.But nowadays I'd give parents much more encouragement to guide their child away from violence.A number of incidents have convinced me of the importanceof this.One of the first things that made me change my mind，several years ago，was an observation that an experienced nursery school teacher told me about.Her children were hitting each other much more than previously，without reason.When she talked to them，they would protest，“But that's what the Three Stooges do.” (This was a children's TV program full of violence which immediately became very popular.)What further shocked me into reconsidering my view was the assassination(暗杀) of the former President，and the fact that some schoolchildren cheered about this.(I didn't so much blame the children as I blamed the kind of parents who will say about a President they dislike，“I'd shoot him if I got the chance！”)These incidents made me think of other evidence that Americans often tolerate lawlessness and violence.We were hard on the Indians and the later waves of immigrants.At times we denied justice to groups with different religions or political views.And now a great percentage of our adult as well as our child population has been endlessly fascinated with dramas of Western violence and with cruel crime stories，in movies and on television.This doesn't necessarily mean that we Americans on the average have more aggressiveness inside us than the people of other nations.I think rather that the aggressiveness we have is less controlled，from childhood on.To me it seems very clear that in order to have a more stable and civilized national life we must bring up the next generation of Americans with a greater respect for law and for other people's rights than in the past.There are many ways in which we could and should teach these attitudes.One simple opportunity we could seize in the first half of childhood is to show our disapproval of lawlessness and violence in television programs and in children's gun play.I also believe that the survival of the world now depends on a much greater awareness of the need to avoid war and to actively seek peaceful agreements.There are enough nuclear arms to completely destroy all civilization.This terrifying situation demands a much greater stability and selfcontrol on the part of national leaders and citizens than they have ever shown in the past.We owe it to our children to prepare them deliberately for this awesome responsibility.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。

体裁：说明文话题：社会现象词数：390 时间：8′It's midnight in Taiwan.While some people are slowly walking home through the busy streets，or getting ready to hit the club scene，others are on their way to a more unusual place—a bookstore.The Eslite store in central Taipei opens 24 hours and has more visitors than most Western bookstores could dream of during their daytime hours.Here，young and old sit sidebyside on small steps or around reading tables，deeply absorbed in literary worlds.Others stand and some sit on the floor，all reading in silence as soft classical music flows out from the speakers.The Eslite Group，which runs the fivestory store，opened its first branch in Taipei in 1989.Today，25 years on，the company runs 42 stores in Taiwan，one in Hong Kong and has powerful plans to expand in mainland China.The chain's rise comes at a time when bookstores in the United States and Europe are struggling to survive，with some forced to wind__up due to growing pressure from online competitors like Amazon.In the United Kingdom，a third of all independent bookstores have closed down in the last decade.And the last major book seller in the U．S.—Barnes & Noble—is shutting stores as its management struggles to meet the challenges from its digital competitors.Eslite has hit upon an idea to avoid this—making the store as much a place for books as it is for design，fashion and home styling，small cafes and restaurants.It reported revenue (收入) of around $425 million in 2013，with books accounting for some 40 percent of sales.The mix of literature and design has made the store a place for bookworms，allowing the company to ignore the challenges of the digital age.“It is our belief that the more digital the society (becomes)，the more we treasure the warmth of the interconnection，”Timothy Wang，the manager，says.“This key idea makes Eslite hardly influenced by the changes of the industry.”Eslite's success m ay seem counterintuitive(反直觉的) especially when it seems mostlatenight visitors treat it like a library，leaving empty handed after hours of free reading.Eslite's Timothy Wang says that the business is successful because it creates “a friendly environment” and treats “books as well as the visitors with great enthusiasm.”【语篇解读】文章介绍了为什么台湾图书销售繁荣，因为有很多可以看书的夜店。

Unit 5 PoemsⅠ.阅读理解A(2024·淮南市高三第一次模拟)Louise Gluck has been no stranger to awards over her long and storied career since her first publication in 1968. In 1993, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her collection of poems, The Wild Iris. And on Oct 8 (2024) she became the 16th woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature with the Nobel prizes first awarded in 1901.Gluck was honored “for her unmistakable poetic voice that, with plain and simple beauty, makes individual existence universal”. Often said to be an au tobiographical poet, drawing from the inner parts of her life, “Gluck seeks the universal，” Nobel Committee Chair Anders Olsson said in a statement.Gluck, 77, the author of 12 poetry collections, has been able to turn her life experiences into universal themes covering life, loss, and isolation. Because of this, readers have often found her poetry to be “dark”. However, there is much more than darkness in her voice, as noted by Olsson. “It is candid and also a voice full of humor and biting wit.” he said.For example, in her poem Snowdrops, she uses the coming of spring after winter to show rebirth of life after death. She leads readers down a depressing path only to reconnect with the light at the near end. At the conclusion of the poem, readers are left t o feel the “raw wind of the new world” as they watch a new spring. This is often the case in Gluck's poetry, being able to feel joy even after not having done so for a long time.When her work Faithful Virtuous Night received a National Book Award for Poetry in 2014, a judge for the award went on to say, the collection comes from “a world where darkness blurs (模糊) ordinarily sharp edges around the oppositions of our lives-loss and renewal, male and female, the living and the dead”．Talking of prizes, she ac knowledged that they can make “existence in the world easier” but did not amount to the immortality (永生) of a true artist. “I want to live after I die, in that ancient way.” she said. “And there's no way of knowing whether that will happen, and there will be no knowing, no matter how many blue ribbons have been used to cover my body.” The remark is in line with Olsson's description of Gluck's poetic voice as “candid and uncompromising” but frequently witty.语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文。

In the early stages of all industries, some companies fail because they cannot compete with stronger companies in difficult economic conditions.To deal with difficult conditions, an alarming number of businesses are developing group buying websites in places like China and India, so the increase of group buying in South Africa is nothing more than a natural progression into the international mainstream.The group buying concept is fairly new and consumers have accepted this concept because they can now make full use of the rich information available on the Internet.Group buying is convenient and easy so it works.Anyone can view a site, join a mailing list, subscribe (注册加入) to RSS or print out a coupon (优惠券)．The current group buying structure offered by the industry leaders works although there are still challenges to overcome.Perhaps, the future of group buying is tied to the joining together of social media and mobile devices.Mobile devices are with us wherever we go and almost everyone is using some type of social media site like Facebook or Twitter to stay ing GPS and social media technology to provide real time locationspecific promotions would be beneficial to every consumer looking for the best deals in town.Pause for a moment and think about it!

体裁：记叙文话题：人与自然词数：675 时间：6′My story is from my college days.One of my geology professors got me involved in mountain climbing.Since he and I climbed at roughly the same pace, we made perfect companions on the trail.On one trip, we hooked up with the Colorado Mountain Club to climb Mount Massive, the second highest mountain in Colorado and fourth highest in the Lower 48 states.The day started out great.It was a beautiful sunny day.The CMC folks decided they wanted to take an “alternate” route up the mountain rather than the established trail.The alternate route was straight up the west (steep) side.CMC is synonymous with mountain goat.Most of these folks scurried up the mountain like most people climb a set of stairs at the mall.Carl and I were a bit slower, quite a bit slower.We made it to the summit(山顶)around noon, feeling like I was a 70yearold man with emphysema.For those who have experienced the joys of the air(or lack thereof) above 14，000 feet, you know what I'm talking about.We sat down and ate lunch admiring the spectacular view along with a half dozen other climbers.By 1：00 we decided it was past time to vacate the top of the mountain.Those familiar with the Rockies know that between 1：00 and 2：00 every afternoon, thunderstorms roll across the mountains.Being 3，000 plus feet above timberline, people are the tallest standing thing and make great lightning rods(避雷针)．Every year several people are killed by lightning in the high country.Just the day before, a climber was killed on Mt.Elbert, the next mountain over, so you can imagine our anxiety.We could see the thunderheads building to the west, ready to seek out their hapless prey(猎物)．It was time to get the heck off the top of the mountain fast.One climber opted (选择) to boot ski down the snowcovered east cirque.I didn't think it was a great idea but he quickly made it to the bottom some 2，500 feet below in mere seconds.Seemed like a good idea right? Wrong! While my climbing partner Carl opted for the trail, I prepared for my snowy descent.I took three steps into the snow andwhoosh, I slipped on the ice layer under the snow and slid under the snow.Now completely soaked with melt water, I could only crawl on my hands and knees to the dry rock above. By the time I made it out, I was out of options.The thunderstorms were approaching fast and all I could do was try and make myself flat against the mountain.Realizing almost too late that being the good geologist that I was, I had a rock hammer, camera, and who knows what other metal objects in my backpack, which sounded like good lightning rod material to me, I quickly took off my pack and threw it as far away as I could.I then lay down on my back and tried to sink into the mountain as far as I could.I could hear the lightning striking the back of the mountain.The frequent loud report of the thunder marched even closer.It started to rain, and soon the rain turned to sleet.Normally this would not be a real big deal except that my nice warm rain jacket was cleverly tucked away in the backpack I just threw some 30 feet away.Already cold from being soaked with ice water, I dared not move.Just then the lightning arrived.Bolt after bolt was striking the mountain around me with instantaneous explosions of the thunder.The storm moved across and the bolts of lightning were striking far below me now.I waited until I was certain the storm was truly past.I looked over and saw what really got me.There about a halfmile down the trail, I could see my climbing part ner snug and warm beneath a rock overhang he had found to wait out the storm.I gathered my pack and headed down the trail to catch up with him.We had a few laughs about it and I realized that with age does come great wisdom!【语篇解读】本文为一篇记叙文。

体裁：议论文话题：家庭教育词数：726 时刻：8′Is gun play good or bad for children？For many years I emphasized its harmlessness.When concerned parents expressed doubt about letting their children have toy guns，because they didn't want to encourage them in the slightest degree to become criminals，I would explain how little connection there was.In the course of growing up，children have a natural tendency to bring their aggressiveness more and more under control if their parents encourage this．Onetotwoyearolds，when they are angry with another child，may bite the child's arm without hesitation.But by 3 or 4 they have already learned that aggression is not right.However，they may pretend to shoot their mother or father，but smiling to assure them that the gun and the aggressive behaviour aren't to be taken seriously.In the 6to12yearold period，children will play an earnest game of war，but it has lots of rules.There may be arguments，but real fights are relatively rare.At this age children don't shoot at their mother or father，even in fun.It's not that the parents have turned stricter; the children's own conscience has.In adolescence aggressive feelings become much stronger，but well broughtup children can turn them into athletics and other competition or into kidding their friends.In other words，I'd explain that playing at war is a natural step in the disciplining of the aggression of young children; that a cautious parent doesn't really need to worry about producing a criminal.But nowadays I'd give parents much more encouragement to guide their child away from violence.A number of incidents have convinced me of the importance of this.One of the first things that made me change my mind，several years ago，was an observation that an experienced nursery school teacher told me about.Her children were hitting each other much more than previously，without reason.When she talked to them，they would protest，“But that's what the Three Stooges do.” (This was a children's TV program full of violence which immediately became very popular.)What further shocked me into reconsidering my view was the assassination(暗杀) of the former President，and the fact that some schoolchildren cheered about this.(I didn't so much blame the children as I blamed the kind of parents who will say about a President they dislike，“I'd shoot him if I got the chance！”)These incidents made me think of other evidence that Americans often tolerate lawlessness and violence.We were hard on the Indians and the later waves of immigrants.At times we denied justice to groups with different religions or political views.And now a great percentage of our adult as well as our child population has been endlessly fascinated with dramas of Western violence and with cruel crime stories，in movies and on television.This doesn't necessarily mean that we Americans on the average have more aggressiveness inside us than the people of other nations.I think rather that the aggressiveness we have is less controlled，from childhood on.To me it seems very clear that in order to have a more stable and civilized national life we must bring up the next generation of Americans with a greater respect for law and for other people's rights than in the past.There are many ways in which we could and should teach these attitudes.One simple opportunity we could seize in the first half of childhood is to show our disapproval of lawlessness and violence in television programs and in children's gun play.I also believe that the survival of the world now depends on a much greater awareness of the need to avoid war and to actively seek peaceful agreements.There are enough nuclear arms to completely destroy all civilization.This terrifying situation demands a much greater stability and selfcontrol on the part of national leaders and citizens than they have ever shown in the past.We owe it to our children to prepare them deliberately for this awesome responsibility.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。

Known for fireballs, the Perseids typically light up skies on warm summer nights, leaving “long wake（尾迹）of light and color1 behind them.”Under ideal conditions, sky watchers may see approximately 50-100 meteors per hour with each meteor traveling at 37 miles per second. .Because the meteors appear in all parts of the sky, it will be pretty easy to witness the celestial（天上的）event from anywhere in the world. To get the best show, it is advised to view the Perseids from the Northern Hemisphere（半球）during the pre- dawn hours, ideally between 2 a.m. and dawn. In some cases, sky gazers may be able to seemeteors during this shower as early as 9 or 10 p. m.“If it's not cloudy, pick an observing spot away from bright lights, lie on your back, and look up! You don't need any special equipment to view the Perseids—just your eyes,” NASA wrote on their site, adding that telescopes or binoculars are not recommended due to their small fields of view.Remember to let your eyes become adjusted to the dark. Try to stay off of your phone too, as looking at devices with bright screens will negatively affect your night vision and thus reduce the number of meteors you see!For those who may be unable to view the Perseids in person, a live broadcast will be streaming from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, starting around 8 p. m. on Aug. 11 and continuing through sunrise on Aug. 12.4. What can we learn about the Perseids Meteor Shower?A. It will be the best meteor shower in history.B. The ultimate shower only happens on this Wednesday.C. We can observe 50- 100 meteors per hour in any place.D. The Meteors usually have long and bright trails behind them.5. Which of the following may be the best time to view the shower?A. At 4 a. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.B. At 2 p. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.C. At sunrise on the Southern Hemisphere.D. At dawn on the Southern Hemisphere.6. What can be inferred about the observation of Meteors?A. If you use a telescope, you will see more meteors.B. You can use smartphones to record the grand scene.C. The brighter the moon is, the more meteors you can see. .D. Bright lights will reduce the visibility of meteors.7. If you are not available to watch the Perseids personally, you can ________.A. browse the unofficial website of NASAB. watch a video recorded by a flight centerC. stream a live show on Aug. 11 nightD. use special devices to connect with the showerCIn a world simultaneously on fire and underwater thanks to climate change, scientists have announced some good news: Several important tuna (金枪鱼) species have stepped back from the edge of extinction.The unexpectedly fast recovery speaks to the success of efforts over the past decade to end overfishing. But tuna are not the only species scientists are discussing at the 2021 World Conservation Congress in Marseille, France, which is organized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Researchers caution that many other marine species remainimperiled. For instance, more than a third of the world's sharks remain threatened with extinction due to overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change.“I think the good news is that sustainable fisheries are possible,” says Beth Polidoro, a marine biologist at Arizona State University. “We can eat fish in a proper way and without driving the population to the point where it is on the road to collapse or extinction."At the same time, she warned that the changes in status should not be an reason to catch as many fish as we want.The IUCN, which ranks the world's most endangered species on its Red List of Threatened Species and isbacked by 16,000 experts across the globe, also announced at the meeting that some animals are moving in the other direction, onto the Red List. One notable example is the Komodo dragon, an island-living lizard at particular risk from climate change.For the better part of two decades, Polidoro has been part of a specialist group tasked with assessing the statuses of more than 60 species of tuna and billfishes for the IUCN.Her team announced its first comprehensive findings in 2011, mentioning that a number of commercially fished tuna species were dangerously close to disappearing.According to the new data, the Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), once listed as endangered, now qualifies for a status of least concern. As does the yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga), which were both considered near-threatened the last time they were assessed.8. What does the underlined word “imperiled” in paragraph 2 mean?A. EndangeredB. ConservedC. ExtinctD. Safe9. What can we infer from Polidoro's words?A. Too many fish are being eaten by human beings.B. Eating fish does not necessarily lead to its extinction.C. Fish species are on the edge of dying out if no action is taken.D. The situation of underwater species are changing for the better.10. Which of following statement is true according to the passage?A. Some Tuna species are wiped out by overfishing.B. Tuna are ranked as the world's most endangered species.C. Climate change poses a threat to most species in water and on land.D. Three tuna species have been saved from extinction according to the data.11. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Some tuna species are reported endangered recently.B. IUCN has helped saved a great many marine species.C. Improvement has been made in saving marine species.D. Great efforts should be made to conserve species underwater.DWhen I was trying to find a place where to spend my December holidays, I met by chance some cheap flights to Iceland. After checking just a few winter pictures of Iceland, I realized that the country, known as the land of fireand ice, during the cold months of the year could offer me experiences I had never had before.For sure you can’t miss the chance to go to Iceland in winter if your traveling wish list includes at least one of the crazy experiences Iceland can offer. Iceland in the North Atlantic Ocean is a paradise (乐园) for all those who want to see the northern lights, experience cold weather conditions and put themselves in geothermal (地热的) baths while the snow is falling on their head.The best way to move around Iceland is with a rental car. Distances are huge and public transport in winter is not really common out of the major towns. As we wanted to be even more convenient we decided to rent a small camper (野营车). Sleeping and cooking in a camper saved us a lot of driving, money and gave us the chance tobe always in the right place at the right time.There were also no locals and in many cases no tourist facilities (设备). For us, as we slept in a camper, it was easier. But for tourists traveling by normal cars it is necessary to check the opening times ofhotels and restaurants as many of them run just from June to September.It is amazing to experience how the weather is changing in Iceland. However, Icelanders prefer to stay inside their houses. They have even no time to complain about the weather in December. All they care about is Christmas. They love to decorate their houses, sing Christmas songs and eat typical Christmas food.12. Why is Iceland famous as the land of fire and ice?A. Because tourists would like to play with fire on the ice.B. Because it is too dry to easily cause fire to happen.C. Because it is hot inside a house and cold outside.D. Because there exist hot springs and freezing ice.13. What did the author think of the rented camper?A. It was not only practical but also economical.B. It was convenient but cost them more money.C. It provided the best chance to see the new country.D. It was much faster than other public transport.14. What does the last paragraph imply?A. The Icelanders prefer to live with their family.B. The joy of Christmas drives the freezing weather away.C. December is the coldest month of the year.D. The Icelanders are always positive and stay outside.15. What does this passage most probably come from?A. A textbookB. A scientific reportC. A travel magazineD. A news report第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
2020-2021学年安徽省潜山中学高三英语月考试题及答案
2020-2021学年安徽省潛山中學高三英语月考试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ABored with your life? Dreaming of something different? I always wonder what life would be like400 kmabove my head. That's where the International Space Station orbits the earth, with six astronauts living and working on board, for months at a time.How do they sleep? They spend the night floating in a sleeping bag inside a small cubicle (小隔间) on the ceiling. American astronaut Sunita Williams explains, “It's like a little phone booth, but it's pretty comfortable and it doesn't matter if I turn overand sleep upside down. I don't have any sensation (感觉) in my head that tells me I'm upside down.”Brushing your teeth in a place where you can't have a tap or a sink can be a challenge. Can you imagine the mess that running water would make in zero gravity? Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield uses a straw to put a big blob of water from a sealed bag onto an ordinary toothbrush and adds a little toothpaste which he has to swallow when he's done.Daily exercise is essential. The lack of gravity makes bones more fragile and muscles lose strength — so astronauts are encouraged to work out for at least two hours a day.The role of astronauts in the International Space Station is to act as lab technicians for scientists back on earth. So they spend their time maintaining their environment and performing and monitoring experiments in a confined space about the size of a Boeing 747. Almost every task is carefully planned by mission control — although most astronauts spend their first days losing things until they get used to sticking everything they use to the walls with Velcro, duct tape (强力胶带) or clips (夹子)．One of their most valued perks (额外待遇) is the view from “the office”, dominated by that gigantic blue ball down there, sitting in the darkness of space. Wow! Absolutely breathtaking!1. When they sleep upside down, the astronauts willnot get dizzy because ________.A. they don't feel itB. they sleep in the daytimeC. they sleep in special sleeping bagsD. they are trained to adapt to the conditions of weightlessness2. What parts become weak if astronauts don't exercise?A. Their teeth and bones.B. Their brains and bones.C. Their bones and muscles.D. Their teeth and muscles.3. What is the passage mainly about?A. The Problems We Met in Space.B. Living and Working in Space.C. How to Become an Astronaut.D. The International Space Station.BWhen I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived atHeathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam（横杆）, I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I've traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch theskaters. Weaving（穿梭）among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded（滑）up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caughta few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”4. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?A. He felt disappointed.B. He gave up his hobby.C. He liked the weather there.D. He had disagreements with his family.5. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean?A. Be careful!B. Well done!C. No way!D. Don't worry!6. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London?A. To join the skateboarding.B. To make new friends.C. To learn more tricks.D. To relive his childhood days7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?A. Children should learn a second language.B. Sport is necessary for children's health.C. Children need a sense of belongingD. Seeing the world is a must for children.CMost children who have suffered from ADHD still have it as teens. During teen years, especially as the hormonal changes of teenagers are going on and the demands of school and extra-curricular activities are increasing, ADHD may get worse.Because of problems with getting unfocused and poor concentration, many teens with ADHD have problems in school. Grades may fall, especially if the teen is not getting ADHD treatment. It’s not uncommon for teens with ADHD to forget their homework, lose textbooks, and become bored with their daily class work. Teens may become inattentive or extremely attentive, not waiting for their turn before blurting out answers. They may cut in on their teacher and classmates. Teens with ADHD may also befidgetyand find it hard to sit still in class.Often, teens with ADHD are so busy focusing on other things that they forget about the task at hand. This can be seen especially with homework and athletic skills and in relationships with their schoolmates. This lack of attention to what they’re doing often leads to bad grades on tests and being passed over for sports teams, after-school activities, and learning teams. Kids with ADHD can be targets for bullying, too. But, not all children with ADHD have trouble getting along with others. If your child does, you can take measures to help improve their social skills and relationships.ADHD affects all parts of a teenager’s life. As a parent you should discover your teen’s troubles as early as possible. The earlier your child’s troubles are discovered, the more successful the following steps can be.8. What does the author plan to do in paragraph 1?A. To list the types of ADHD.B. To introduce the main topic.C. To show the author’s opinion.D. To explain the causes of ADHD.9. What does the underlined word “fidgety” probably mean in paragraph 2?A. Clever.B. Noisy.C. Restless.D. Lazy.10. What is the text mainly about?A. Ways to deal with ADHD.B. Effects of ADHD on teens.C. Teens’ school performances.D. Demands of school work.11. What may the following paragraph talk about?A. How parents can help a teen with ADHD.B. The importance of healthy peer relationships.C. How many children are suffering from ADHD. D. Different opinions about treating ADHD in teens.DA Bridge Linking Art and the AudienceAccording to a 2018 report, people aged between 16 and 24 make up about 15 percent of the population but only 10 percent of museum-goers. Similarly, people aged over35 go half as much as you would expect from their population size. We have reached the point of recognising the disconnection between art and the audience but haven’t yet determined how to bridge the gap. Two answers to tackling this challenge lie in telling a greater diversity of art histories and communicating these stories in more accessible ways.In 2018, a radio program called Art Matters was started with the aim of discussing art from a pop-culture viewpoint with topics that would engage younger and more diverse audience. It offers an accessible pathway to art history with conversations on different topics. Art history is about storytelling; art content shines when there is an effort to bring audience along for the discussion.More traditional institutions are paying attention. Recently theGettyMuseumissued a social-media challenge for people to recreate paintings using items they had at home. Users displayed incredible creativity, and the museum was flooded with submissions. This reaction proves that there is a potential desire for the audience to engage with art topics if the format is appealing. Since many people feelintimidatedand think that there’s a base level of understanding required to join the conversation, the Getty initiative serves as a reminder that there are many pathways to engaging with it.Another result of the Getty challenge was the exposure given to a diversity of artworks. The famous opera singer Peter Brathwaite, for example, made scores of attractive recreations highlighting centuries of blackpaintings. His efforts opposed the idea that there were not many historical paintings of black figures. It is extremely important that we do a better job of showing the complex and diverse stories that are represented in art.Social media have offered a platform for people who have not traditionally had a seat at the table. Anyone can recognise a gap in the field and address it. Accounts have gathered tens of thousands of followers. They are the proof that there is hunger to hear these art histories, and these themes work brilliantly for museum programming.But there is only so much that can be done without the museums and galleries changing meaningfully from within. We need to see a better balance of these stories represented in permanent collections. We also need a much wider diversity of people and interests represented on board. Ensuring that art-and writing and talking about art-is able to continue on the rising generation of storytellers, inside and outside of institutions, getting the funding and support they need to paint a brighter picture for the part.12. What challenge is the author trying to tackle?A. People doubt a great diversity of artworks.B. Fewer and fewer young people go to museums.C. Art appears too distant from common audience.D. Adult audience has a different understanding of art.13. What does the underlined word “intimidated” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Tired.B. Worried.C. Annoyed.D. Surprised.14. In the author’s opinion, the museums and galleries should ________.A. make the art history stories accessible in a traditional way.B. change meaningfully for activities like the Getty challenge.C. limit the number of storytellers both in and out of institutions.D. improve the permanent collections by adding famous artworks.15. We can conclude from the passage that common audience ________.A. lacks the channels to understand and talk about art history.B. prefers to view artworks and hear art stories on social media.C. feels satisfied with people and interests represented on board.D. refuses to engage with diverse art topics and art history stories.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind，handsome and desirable.Mary and Joey's paths cross at a ball.They meet and fall in love with each other.But when Mary has to rush back home，she leaves behind her MP3 player，which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams.Of course，there is a wicked stepmother，who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies.Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn't get into the top dance school.Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary，even if that means embarrassing her. The story，though it mostly follows Cinderella，does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale.Refreshingly，the film，unlike many high school films，does not focus on looks，although the actors are all beautiful.There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.“The movie takes the Cinderella fairy tale as its jumpingoff point，” writes the movie critic Amber Wilkinson.“Yet the focus is firmly on following your dream.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇影评。

]【2014高考英语综合能力测试题】People in Hong Kong speak a rich mixture of languages. Hong Kong was a British colony for over 156 years before returning to China in 1997. English was the only official language until 1994.Most people in Hong Kong today speak Cantonese, but Mandarin and other dialects are also heard. British English is still widely spoken and taught here. Now however, many people are choosing to learn American English.Victor Chan, for example, has children who attend a school called Nature EQ. They are learning to say words in the American way. Mr Chan says he wants his sons to learn American English, because he plans to send them to the United States for further study.Nature EQ is one of a growing number of schools in Hong Kong that offer American English classes. Frankie Ng opened the school 17 years ago, at which time, he had only 40 students. Today, the school has 350 students.Mr Ng says American English is clear and easy to teach and understand.Student Sam Yu has another reason for studying American English, "I think American English is getting more and more important, and is maybe taking over the dominance of British English, soI'm willing to learn."Public schools still teach mostly British English. But the number of private language schools teaching American English is growing.In Hong Kong's Tseung Kwan O district, for example, the "Workshop School" had 20 students a week when it opened one year ago. Today, it has more than 180 students each week.American English is becoming the language of international business. Increasing contact with American culture, like movies, television programs, computer games and the Internet is spreading American expressions and accents in areas otherthan business.But for now, what people hear in the streets of Hong Kong is mainly traditionalBritish English."We can understand both, but we speak with the British accent," said one local woman.31. How long had British English been the only official language in Hong Kong?A. More than 150 years.B. Less than 150 years.C. About 100 years.D. Less than 100 years.32.

British English is a traditional and ancient language and is out of date.33. What does the underlined word "dominance" in Paragraph 6 mean?A. Advantage.B. Strength.C. Control.D. Influence.34. What can be inferred from the passage?A. More and more students will give up English but learn Mandarin.B. We never hear traditional British English spoken in the streets of Hong Kong.C. There will be more and more schools like Nature EQ and the Workshop School.D. People in Hong Kong with the British accent can't understand American English.35. What is the main idea of the passage?A.
