We already know that if we don’t move much, we get fatter, we get heart problems and we may get diabetes. ____16____.A study of 937 Brazilian adults during the pandemic found that about one-third of them sat around for more than 10 hours per day. It reported that people who sat for too long often showed more symptoms of depression.____17____.

Always keep the forward / downward-facing edge of your board in mind, and don’t let it move down to catch the snow. ___29___ Skiers have four edges and two poles, and their legs face forward. Snowboarders, on the other hand, have two edges and no poles, and their legs face sideways.When you’re first coming down the mountain, it’s important to learn how to stop, control your speed and make long, proper turns. It may feel strange, but watch how quickly your body adapts to this new environment. Ju st remember, soon you’ll be at one with the board. That’s said, you may be sore (酸痛的) the next day.

The figure skater glides, jumps and spins. One turn, two turns, three turns. ___31___Why? People often feel dizzy and lose balance after spinning around. ___32___ The eyes reach their limit before our head finishes a full turn, so they turn back to a new starting point,said Scientific American. When our eyes repeat this, we get dizzy.Figure skaters don’t have any super power. ___33___ Their secret is lots and lots of practice, according to Science Focus magazine. As they train more, their brains get used to the feeling.___34___ One method is called “opposing eye movement”. It’s like the eye movement when we watch a moving train pass in front of us while our heads stay still. Skaters can train themselves to engage this eye movement when they spin. Scientific American said this can offset the dizzy feeling.___35___ We feel dizzier when our brain feels changes in speed. Skaters can also pick one spot to stare at as they stop turning. “Some skaters will design a dance move at the end of a long spin.” said Science Focus. This provides a little break while the dizziness passes.A．No pain, no gain.B．They get dizzy, too.C．Their movements are so smooth and graceful.D．Other methods include keeping a uniform speed.E．Skaters also have methods to help them feel less dizzy.F．It seems they never get dizzy no matter how many times they spin.G．This is because when we move our head during a spin, our eyes start to move in the opposite direction.（2022·四川省绵阳南山中学高一期中）The reasons skiers and snowboarders wear goggles or glasses might seem a little obvious, especially if you’ve ever hit the slopes yourself. Sunlight reflected off the snow can make it hard to see, and UV rays can even damage your eyesight. Special colored lenses also create contrast, so your whole path won’t look like one flat expanse of whiteness.____36____Olympic speed skaters, meanwhile, are racing inside on smooth ice. ____37____According to NBC Olympics, glasses can increase visibility on indoor tracks,too. ____38____ And while the ice may look smooth from a distance, those sharp blades can kick up ice chips that could pose problems if they end up in your eyes. In the event of a crash, shatter-proof glasses also protect skaters’ eyes from errant blades and body parts.____39____ Shot-track speed skaters (who race around a roughly 11-meter track) can go as fast as 30 miles per hour or more, and long-track speed skaters (whose track is 400 meters long) sometimes hit about 35 miles per hour. The wind resistance generated by such speed- in a chilly arena—is enough to make any skater’s eyes start streaming with tears. Picture leaning your head out the window of a car that’s going around 35 miles per hour on a cold day: You’d probably want to be wearing glasses, too.That said, glasses aren’t a requirement. ____40____ Belgium’s Stijn Desmet, for example, has raced in Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games without eyewear, as has China’s Zhang Chutong.A．How do they wear glasses?B．So why do they wear glasses?C．Some skiers are afraid of the sunlight.D．Some skaters’ lenses are tinted to help with that.E．You’ll occasionally see speed skaters with uncovered visages.F．Not to mention that eyewear shields your eyes from any snow you displace.G．But the biggest reason speed skaters opt for eyewear just might be their speed.参考答案：1．F 2．E 3．B 4．C 5．A【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her "housekeeping", would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting.The old style of what a middle-class man did with his money was6perhaps nearer the truth.

阅读理解D篇3+七选五组合练三
★2023年4月 n 日★阅读理解D篇3+七选五组合练三第一节：阅读理解典例1：（北京丰台·一模）If you think about it, work-life balance is a strange ambition for a fulfilling life. Balance is about stasis: if our lives were ever in balance-parents happy, kids taken care of, work working-then our overriding thought would be to shout “Nobody move!” and pray all would stay perfect forever. This false hope is made worse by the categories themselves. They imply that work is bad, and life is good. And so the challenge, we are told, is to balance the heaviness of work with the lightness of life.Yet work is not the opposite of life. It is instead a part of life-just as family is, as are friends and community. All of these aspects of living have their share of uplifting moments and moments that drag us down. The same is true of work. Treat work the same way you do life: by maximizing what you love.We have interviewed several anesthesiologists (麻醉师) about the thrills they feel in their jobs. One said he loved the thrill of holding each patient hovering at that one precise point between life and death. Another said she loved the bedside conversations before the operation aiming to calm the panic that affects many patients. Another was drawn mostly to the anesthetic mechanism and has devoted himself to defining precisely how each drug does what it does.Think of your life’s many different activities as threads. Some are black and some are white. But some of these activities appear to be made of a different substance. These activities contain all the tell-tale signs of love: before you do them, you find yourself looking forward to them; while you’re doing them, time speeds up and you find yourself in flow; and after you’ve done them, you feel energetic. These are your red threads, and research by the Mayo Clinic suggests that doctors who weave the fabric of their life with at least 20% red threads are significantly less likely to experience burnout.The simplest way for you to do this is to spend a week in love with your job. During the week, any time you find yourself feeling one of the signs of love write down exactly what you were doing in the column “Love”. And any time you find yourself feeling the inverse write down what you were doing in the column “Loathe”. By the end of the week you will see a list of activities in your “Love” column, which create in you a positive feeling, one that draws you in and lifts you up.Our goal should be to, little by little, week by week, intentionally unbalance all aspects of our work toward the former and away from the latter. Not simply to make us feel better, but so that our colleagues, our friends and our family can all benefit from us at our very best.25．What is the author’s attitude towards work-life balance?A．Doubtful. B．Disapproving.C．Supportive. D．Neutral.26．The author uses three anesthesiologists as examples to ________.A．prove people benefit from workB．indicate doctors take pride in their workC．show people gain joy from different situationsD．imply doctors reduce the pressure of work successfully27．“Red threads” in Paragraph 4 refer to the activities that ________.A．arouse your passion B．satisfy your desiresC．improve your motivation D．require your efforts28．Which of the following does the author probably agree with?A．Red threads are necessary for a balanced life.B．Recording activities helps create positive feeling.C．Find love in work instead of keeping work-life balance.D．Maximize what you love to remove the heaviness from work. 典例2：（·北京顺义·一模）You can take fish oil supplements (补充剂). You can invest in a language class, books, or a few hours of exercise every week. There are countless methods to improve your memory. But the cheapest, easiest, and most time-tested way to make your brain think is—reading. There’s something astonishing about how such an ordinary activity can improve your brain in so many ways.The most basic impact occurs in the area associated with language reception in your brain. Processing written material—from the letters to the words to the sentences to the stories themselves—get the neurons (神经元) to attention as they start the work of transporting all that information. “Typically, when you read, you have more time to think.” says Maryanne Wolf, director of the UCLA Center for Diverse Learners. “Reading gives you a unique pause button for comprehension and insight. By and large, with oral language—when you watch a film or listen to a tape—you don’t press pause.”And the benefits of reading continue long after you’ve put down that great book. A small study at Emory University found that s ome of those benefits lasted for five days. “We call that a shadow activity, almost like a muscle memory,” says Gregory Berns, PhD, director of the Center for Neuron Policy at Emory.OK, you say, it’s hardly surprising that the language part of the brain w ould get a workout from reading. But reading also makes the region responsible for motor activity—the central sulcus (中央沟)—energetic. That’s because the brain is a play actor. You may not actually be riding a horse when you’re reading Seabiscuit, but your brain acts as if it is. And the more parts of your brain that get a workout, the better it is for your overall cognitive (认知的) performance. Generally speaking, close literary reading, like a Jane Austen novel, in particular gives your brain a major workout, as opposed to the more limited effects that come from more leisurely reading.What if you are a poor, or even a dyslexic reader who feels as if you’ll never be able to read enough to gain these benefits? The study shows the ability to read closely is something that needs to be developed. In her new book, Reader, Come Home, Wolf notes that even she, who reads for a living, has found her ability to concentrate on the written word weakening as more of what we read is on a screen. That sets up a negative cycl e: Without the continuing exercise of our reading “muscles”, the brain loses its ability to control the complex processes that allow us to read deeply.Of course, there’s an easy solution: Turn off your phone and your computer, set aside a good hour or two — and just read.29．Which is NOT TRUE about readings?A．Reading and speaking can equally make our brain sharp.B．The benefits of reading don’t disappear immediately.C．Reading classics can exercise our brain more than daily newspapers.D．We should avoid too much reading on our mobile phones.30．The book Seabiscuit in Paragraph 4 is probably about ________.A．how our brain works in reading B．the life story of Jane AustenC．how to exercise and keep fit D．the story of a champion racing horse31．What does the underlined word “dyslexic” in Paragraph 5 probably means?A．Active B．EnthusiasticC．Difficult D．Careful32．The passage is written to ________.A．show how to improve your reading comprehensionB．assess the results of keeping long—time readingC．analyze the function of different parts of our brainD．explain the benefits of reading on our brain典例3：（北京朝阳·一模）Fact or Fiction?Non-fiction can be broken down into many categories. One category is literary non-fiction, which is still based in fact but employs some of the storytelling elements that fiction uses. Literary non-fiction includes a type of autobiography(自传) called memoir. Memoir most often focuses on a certain period of the author’s life. It is, by definition, rooted in truth. Still, people sometimes question whether memoir should be categorized as non-fiction at all.As non-fiction, memoir is intended to be factual. Is this really the case, though, considering memoir relies on human memory? One classic study, led by psychologist Elizabeth Loftus, showed how easily an interviewer’s choice of wording can influence an eyewitness’s account of a traffic accident. It is therefore reasonable to wonder whether memoir should continue to be branded as non-fiction.Certainly, human memory can be unreliable. However, a memoir author is undoubtedly writing about significant and impactful life events. Memories of such events are actually more reliable than others. Studies show that the more influential an event is, the more accurately people recall the details. As an emotionally charged event unfolds, the brain activity changes in a way that amplifies small details. This activity helps build a more precise and accurate memory.Of course the brain is not a camera that can “save” any memory with perfect accuracy. But if memoir is questionable due to the imperfections of the human mind, then critics will have to tackle non-fiction more broadly. All writers are using their memories when they create, and moreover, they are relying on the memories of others. Journalists conduct interviews to tell a news story and history writers depend on the accuracy of accounts from long ago. Yet they all rightfully fall under the umbrella of non-fiction.Some people may doubt memoir not because they mistrust human memory, but because they mistrust the author’s morality. Critics may suspect an author of making up events. However, there is no reason to be suspicious of memoir author’s intentions. Writing a factual memoir that appeals to readers has the potential to be profitable for the author, and there is no motivation for a memoir writer to knowingly change or beautify the truth.Looking beyond the author’s own life events, memoir can inform readers about the world in the same way that other non-fiction can. Memoir has a way of relaying facts about anything from an occupation to brief fashion trends, all of it meaningful to the author.33．The author introduces the topic in Paragraph 1 by _____ .A．illustrating why it is important to talk about memoirB．listing some interesting facts and features of memoirC．defining key terms that are discussed later in the passageD．making a comparison between autobiography and memoir34．What does the underlined word “amplifies” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Collects. B．Ignores.C．Enlarges. D．Absorbs.35．We can learn from the passage that _____.A．critics argue that a news story by a journalist is fictionB．a memoir author’s memory can be influenced by the intervieweesC．memoir can’t show readers facts about what an author experience dD．emotional moments can cause the creation of more detailed memories36．According to the passage, the author believes _____.A．the most profitable memoirs are those shown to be the most factualB．many authors are untrustworthy, although many memoirs are fact-basedC．memoir is rightfully categorized under the umbrella of literary non-fictionD．memory is too unreliable for memoir to be considered a type of non-fiction第二节：七选五（北京房山一模）Suppose you were promised $1,440 each day that comes to $525,600 a year. That could never be reduced or changed in your whole life. Sounds great, doesn’t it? Actually, we all do get 1,440 a day—but in minutes, not dollars. 46 It’s possible to get more money, but you can’t make more time.Many of the management practices that help people make good use of their money can also be applied to your “time currency”. But the question is, are you a good manager of your time? 47Find out where your time is going now. Write down everything you do in a day. Include work, study, cooking and meals, cleaning and household maintenance, sleep, family time and mindless activities such as watching TV and getting lost in social media.48 Ten minutes of planning can save you an hour of time and helps stretch the time you have, and you’ll see pockets of time you can use for things you want to do. “Once people have a clear picture, they actually do have a lot more time than they realize.” Clark, the founder of the Purposeful Planner says.You can also set limits. Use kitchen timers, phone reminders, apps or other timing devices to stay focused and work more productively, suggests Janine Adams, certified professional organizer of Peace of Mind Organizing.49 When you have missions to run, instead of making three separate trips on three different days to buy groceries, office supplies or home store products, integrate them—visit all three stores in one trip. It’s more efficient to finish “little one-off” tasks together rather than deal with one at a time throu ghout the day.At the end of the day, week, month and year, take a look at how well you’ve managed your time. You’ll see where you could do better and where you’ve completed what you set out to do. Booren compares this progress check to reviewing your annu al “financial statement”. 50 Do that over and over and “it forms habit and becomes natural.” Booren says.A. Try these simple steps to take control of your clock and calendar.B. Time is one of the most precious and limited resources for people.C. Grouping small tasks into one job proves to be helpful in daily practice.D. The most important tasks are not always the same as the most pressing tasks.E. Focus on what you’re doing and avoid having to repeat the same process twice.F. Invest a few minutes at the beginning of each day or week to plan and organize.G. Take time each day to reflect on your achievements and set goals for tomorrow.25．B 26．C 27．A 28．C【分析】这是一篇议论文。

I do remember, though, what it was like to be a complete beginner. So I've put together some good tips for starting an art journey.·Start small. I suggest using a sketchbook (素描本) for small studies. These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future. __1__ You'll want to look back on your journey to see how far you've come.·Paint often and paint from life. There's no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles. Whether you paint still lives, portraits, or landscapes, paint from life as much as possible. __2__·Continually chall enge yourself to try something new. __3__ Artistic growth can be a bit painful. Welcome to the club；we've all been there. I love taking on challenges. I once took up a challenge to create a painting every day for a month and post the works online.·__4__Seeking and accepting constructive feedback (反馈) is crucial to growth.I post my work on social media and, in turn, have met some of the kindest people. They make me feel valued and respected, no matter my level of artistic ability.The journey you're on won't follow a straight path. __5__ Push through, give it time and put in the effort. You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life.A.Get out of your comfort zone.B．Make career plans and set goals.C．Don't throw away your beginner art.D．Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so.E.You'll hit roadblocks, and you'll feel discouraged at times.F.Evaluate your performance and, if needed, redefine your role.G.You'll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition.[答题区]1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5.________Test 2[2023·武汉市高三模拟]Lake Baikal, the biggest body of fresh water on Earth near Russia's border with Mongolia, is home to several unusual animals, including the world's only species of freshwater seal (海豹).Seals exist in large quantities in Baikal, about 100，000 of them, though the lake is poor in nutrition. __1__. A study just published by Watanabe Yuuki of the National Institute of Polar Research in Tokyo suggests the answer is tiny organisms.Most seals eat fish. And Baikal seals do, indeed, have needlepointed teeth. But in 1982 researchers noted that they developed a second sort of specialized tooth behind those canines (犬齿). They have sharp teeth which look like combs (梳子). __2__. But Dr Watanabe guessed that they might be an adaptation for feeding on otherstrange creatures in the lake.Seals arrived in Baikal 2 million years ago, from the Arctic Ocean. So too did some much smaller sea creatures, known as amphipods. These have grown into more than 340 species.__3__. But Dr Watanabe wondered if the Baikal seals' comblike teeth might enable them to filter (过滤) these tiny creatures from the water in sufficient quantities to make them useful food sources. __4__.Records showed that the seals would dive in with their mouths open and collect amphipod groups that form at night. Dr Watanabe estimated that each seal catches an average of 57 amphipods per dive. __5__， for the seals do hunt fish as well. But they also compete with those fish for the amphipods, thus partially bypassing a link in the food chain and perhaps maintaining themselves in larger numbers than what would otherwise be possible.A．The needlelike canines are necessaryB．So how they do so well has been a puzzleC．This has led to their numbers increasing sharplyD．At the time, nobody knew what to make of themE．He therefore used waterproof cameras to observe a few sealsF．Cameras remained attached to some seals for between two and four daysG．Sea mammals of the size of seals would normally see amphipods as too small to hunt[答题区]1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5.________Test 3[2023·济南市高三模拟]“A ship in the harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for，” said John Augustus Shedd, an earl y 20th century author. Throughout COVID19, we've all become used to assessing risk in new ways. We've come to understand, though we can never get rid of risk altogether，we have great power to make choices both large and small to protect ourselves. __1__ It stops us from stepping outside of our comfort zones and trying new things.Developmental psychologists talk about “positive risks”—socially acceptable risks that our lives can benefit from. __2__ But what about those who develop into adults? Researchers have found that happiness for older adults is being able to choose how they spend their time, including ways that are adventurous, new and even mildly risky，like hiking or other outdoor activities.One guide to positive risk management lists ways that people can make sure their risks are on the “safe” side of the risk range. For example, to ensure a successful bike ride, you should in advance equip yourself with a fullycharged cell phone and a full water bottle. __3__ Or if you are concerned about your physical capacity, consult a certified trainer or a medical professional before departure.__4__ This means adapting to changing situations. In response to the deadly virus，people choose to step back into normal life only after they are vaccinated. In this way, people could be confident that the risk is tolerable.Nobody wants to be needlessly risky. But using our newlyacquiredriskassessment tools, we can once again learn and grow in our lives. __5__ A．Take risks in a positive way.B．But the selfprotective mind state carries its own risk.C．Overall happiness is one benefit of positive risktaking.D．Remember to tell one of your friends or families your destination.E．Besides taking preventive steps, flexible thinking is also encouraged.F．Like a ship sailing away from its harbor, that is what we were built to do.G．For teenagers, this means risks like running for a monitor or trying out for a team.[答题区]1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5.________Test 4[2023·武汉市高三调研]Now I live in Paris. Actually, I don't mind the food or the people, but I do care about the land that extraordinarily lacks characteristics of hiking. I enjoy being outdoors and hiking，but Paris's natural resources don't hold much potential for my bent. So when my dad asked if I wanted to go hiking with him, I was overjoyed. __1__. It turned out that I was too optimistic.We started our main hike up Flattop Mountain. As we hiked it was much more challenging than I had expected. __2__. The path is winding and we saw mountains towering over the green valleys and cliffs that seemed endless. What amazed me most was that thick clouds enveloped the mountainsides. __3__.I stared up at the top to see how much farther we had to go and I began to worry that I wouldn't finish it. __4__. It made me doubtful about my persistence (坚持). But when we looked back at the path that faded in the distance, I was filled with fulfillment with seeing how much we had done.As I was hiking, I started to reflect on how hiking was similar to other aspects of my life. __5__. It reminded me of my struggles in my classes and the difficulties I had to overcome. I spotted that the process of learning isn't always the most fun, but the fulfillment after seeing how much I had finished just increases the thirst for knowledge, causing me to long for more learning. Looking down at the mountain I was content but never fully satisfied.

七选五任务型阅读专练（一）PASSAGE-1Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer（温度计）for the temperature。
This helps us decide what to wear。
__71__。
We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator（冰箱）。
We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don't feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale(刻度）。
But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide.__72___。
The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury ( or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts（收缩）. That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube。

Don't compromise on your happiness just because someone is trying to pick a fight. Just let it go (不要理会) and be happier.5Just before you go to bed, write down at least one wonderful thing that happened. It might be something as small as a child's laugh or something as huge as a million-dollar deal. Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again.A.

Professor Deborah Tannen, of Georgetown University, has noticed differences in the style of boys' and girls' conversations from an early age. According to her study, little girls' conversation is less clear than boys' and expresses more doubts. 2These differences will continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more than women do. In private conversations, men and women speak in almost equal amounts. 3 Professor Tannen believes that, for women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy (亲密). For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure (结构) of a relationship.4 “When a woman teaches another woman,” says Professor Tannen, “she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in. When a man teaches a woman, however, he wants to show that he has more knowledge and power in conversation.5 ”Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is preprogrammed for language. As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual bias (偏向) in its programming; otherwise, male speech patterns would not arise at all.A. And he uses his language to show this.B. Do men talk in the same way as women?C. However, they say things in a different style.D. Women are far more silent than men in public conversations.E. Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.F. More women are encouraged to help each other, talking about their doubts.G. Teaching is one job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show.CThe exciting game of footballFootball is one of the most popular sports in the US. 1 That kind involves kicking a round ball into a net and is called soccer in North America. American football, however, uses a ball that is pointy (尖的) on both ends. While it does include some kicking, there is more throwing and catching involved.In football, there are 11 players from each team on the field at one time. Each team tries to move the ball across the opposing team's goal line to score. The quarterback (四分卫) throws the ball, and the person who catches it tries to run past the opposing team's players. The way to stop someone running with the ball is to tackle him. That means hitting right against him and trying to knock him down to the ground. 2The biggest professional football organization in the US is the National Football League (NFL). The NFL championship game is called the Super Bowl, and it is one of the most watched television events around the globe. 3 For example, millions of toilets are flushed (冲洗) at the same time during half-time. Also, 14,500 tons of chips are consumed during the game.Most sports fans are happy with just sitting in the stands and cheering on their teams. 4 They dress themselves in their team's colors. Some of the excitement happens before the games even begin. Fans gather and hang out in the parking lots outside the stadiums and have huge parties. 5 There are also endless amounts of sodas and beers. All of these combined with the game itself make football one huge and popular social event.A. However, it isn't the game of football played in other parts of the world.B. As a result, professional players have to be strong and quick.C. It is an exciting sport that can sometimes get pretty rough.D. There are many amazing facts about the Super Bowl.E. It is also the wealthiest sports league in the world.F. Everything from sandwiches to chips is served.G. For some, that is not enough.DThere are a number of tips that you can follow to help you find a job that suits your personality.List your strong and weak pointsBefore you start your job search, take some time to think about your strong and weak points. 1 If you are excellent at managing your time, for example, a job in project management, or one that involves organising others, could be perfect.Ask others for their opinionsAlthough you should know yourself better than anyone else, there are times when a second opinion is needed. 2 They may come up with ideas that you haven't considered.You should, however, make sure that they aren't so protective of you that they persuade you not to push yourself, or encourage you so much that you aim too high.Find out what potential jobs involve3 Make sure you do as much research as possible to determine exactly what you will have to do. An office job may sound very safe if you are shy, but if you then find that you have to give regular presentations, you may not be cut out for it after all.4When looking for a job, many people have an idea of what they would like to be in the future. However, that is often little more than a dream and, even if it is possible to reach that goal, it may involve years of hard work that you don't enjoy. 5 If you can find a job that mirrors what makes you happy in life, then the chances are that you will enjoy it and it will match your personality type.A. Take a personality testB. Consider what delights youC. Think about what makes you happy and then analyse why.D. Finding a job that suits your personality is very important.E. Ask your friends and family what sort of job they think would suit you best.F. Sometimes, it isn't immediately obvious what a job will involve until you start it.G. More importantly, think about how they would affect your ability to do particular jobs.答案A 1-5 FDCEAB 1-5 BECGAC 1-5 ABDGFD 1-5 GEFBC解析A篇（日常活动）本文是说明文。

高考英语一轮复习七选五专练八篇含答案
七选五专题演练八篇仿真演练(一)Spot lights are not just for rock concerts and Broadway shows. There are many ways to use them around your home's exterior as well. You can use them to add safety to a stairwell, prevent intruders from entering your home or show off your favorite rose hush.__1__. Learning the advantages of this option will help you decide whether they are right for your home.Solar spot lights are highly energy efficient. Since they are operated solely using power from the sun, they will save you money and help the environment over time. __2__, so you do not need a large upfront investment prior to seeing savings once you are using them.__3__. Since they do not require direct electricity, there is no wiring to worry about and typically, no special tools required. You can install them virtually anywhere, staking them into the ground, hanging them from the eaves of your home or even attaching them to siding, brick or trees in your yard.Solar spot lights are very safe to use, as well. __4__ when installing the lights. You can confidently place them near a swimming pool or other water source with no qualms, and you do not need to be concerned about wires being struck or cut when pets dig, children play or you spend time gardening in your yard.__5__. You should wipe them regularly with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and dirt that build up over time. They do require batteries, but they generally last a year or longer, and you can always buy a set of rechargeable batteries to make your lights even more frugal (节约的) and environmentally friendly.A. Finally, they are easy to maintainB. They are extremely easy to installC. lastly, they do not require direct electricityD. Solar energy is a free, inexhaustible resourceE. Again, they need no wiring, so there is no risk of electrical shockF. In addition, they are not particularly expensive to purchase eitherG. If you should decide to use them, consider installing solar spot lights（二）A New Trend of Micro MuseumsIs Making Science PortableScience museums are amazing. You can see large dinosaur bones from the huge creatures that disappeared thousands of years ago or take a look at cells under a microscope. __1__.You can learn so much at a science museum if living close enough to one. However, for those who don't live in a city, getting a chance to visit science museums is not easy. “__2__, their influence is limited. There just aren't enough science museums,” said Charles Philipp. “And due to the high costs，it's unlikely that we'll be seeing a bunch of new traditional science museums popping up all over the country anytime soon.”Philipp and his partner Amanda Schochet have decided to reinvent science museums by getting them small. They founded MICRO, a nonprofit organization that builds tiny 6foottall science museums, which are portable and replicable(可复制的). __3__. They can get access to it for free in such places as waiting rooms of hospitals, libraries, airports, and even shopping malls.__4__, they made it with the help of a team of engineers, storytellers and designers. Each of the micro museums has a scientific topic. The first museum is the Smallest Mollusk(软体动物) Museum showing the world of mollusks, which has won great popularity as the only museum devoted just to mollusks. A second museum is the Perpetual Motion Museum that focuses on physics and engineering and will officially open next year. It asks why things move, and why they stop. __5__. Hopefully one will come to a neighborhood near you soon.A．Science museums are beneficialB．While the content is vitally importantC．Although it costs nothing to visit museumsD．The plan is to get people of all ages connected with scienceE．Even though making the tiny museums a reality was difficultF．Such new museums allow people to explore fun scientific topicsG．You can also learn to think like an engineer by building a model ship（三）Flextime is a flexible hours’ schedule in which employees choose their own working hours, usually working within approximate limits set by the employer or by the government. __1__For employees, flextime has a clear advantage. __2__ For example, people can use flextime to create schedules which will allow them to go to school, handle childcare, assist relatives, and perform other tasks. Employees may also use their flextime to create a schedule which optimizes creativity, as in the case of someone who would prefer to work earlier in the day to get more accomplished.__3__ First, it tends to increase employees' satisfaction. This makes the company a better and more productive place to work. In addition, flextime can allow companies to serve clients for a greater portion of the day, as employees will be around at varying hours to answer phones, attend meetings, and so forth.Most flextime schedules include core time. __4__ Employees are also usually given an hourly, daily or weekly limit to ensure that they do not violate laws about working hours. Or the company is only willing to pay wages for so many hours of work each week.A classic example of a flexible time schedule is that someone who works four 10hour shifts a week can take three days off. Flextime can also be combined with flexplace, in which the environment is better than that of the office. __5__ Employers may also allow people to work in untraditional settings such as coffee houses.A．Employers benefit from flextime a lot.B．It's also seen as a family friendly policy.C．However, flextime may not be applicable to all fields.D．It is a period of the day in which everyone is expected to be at work.E．Many employers all over the world offer this method to their employees.F．For example, home offices are increasingly popular among many companies.G．It allows them to make changes to their work schedule which will suit their lives.（四）During your university education, you'll be exposed to ideas and scientific theories of scholars and scientists. Unavoidably, your own ideas will be shaped by the ideas you come across. __1__. That means you should go beyond what you learn in your textbooks or in the library. Your original work is the basis for your professor's evaluation of your performance. Thus, academic honesty is fundamental in your university education. It demands that you cite the source materials you base your own work on. _ _2__.Correctly citing your sources helps you distinguish your own ideas from those of other scholars. On the reader's side, it permits a reader to determine the depth of your research. __3__. On the contrary, lack of citing will only raise your reader's doubt.So you need to learn when to cite and how to provide an adequate or accurate reference list. If you fail to cite your sources, whether deliberately or carelessly, you will be found responsible for plagiarism(抄袭). __4__. If you are not sure, ask your professor for guidance before submitting the paper or report. Keep in mind this general rule: when in doubt, cite!__5__. For example, students from East Asia may think that copying directly from sources is the proper way to do research. Students in France, preparing for the final examination, may be encouraged to memorize whole passages and copy them into papers. Those cultural differences can lead to false assumptions about academic expectations in the country you study in.A．Some university students may cheat in different waysB．These include other scholars' ideas, figures, graphs and so onC．The academic challenge you face is to make something originalD．Often, students want to use others' opinions to support their own essaysE．It also allows a reader to appreciate your original contribution to the researchF．For international students, it is important to know local academic expectationsG．Not knowing academic regulations is an unacceptable excuse for such behavior（五）A new urban sport, parkour, is hitting the streets. It has evolved from obstacle course training into a fitness option for young people. In parkour, the outside world is the gym! ____1____ The goal of parkour is a direct route from one place to another. You meet an obstacle, you overcome it.Mark Toorock, who teaches the techniques of parkour at his fitness gym, says that parkour is a method to train the body and mind using obstacles as the medium. He says that this new sport is demanding and takes years to master. _____2_____But Toorock, who used to be a martial arts expert, says that everyone can benefit from learning the basic skills involved in parkour like running, jumping and crawling (爬行). These are the things , that humans used to have to do all the time. ____3____ The original idea of parkour was to returnto running and jumping as basic elements in moving from one place to another.Georges Hebert, a French navy officer, was so impressed by the effortless athleticism of African tribes that he devised a training method based on running, climbing, jumping, balancing and throwing. The word parkour comes from parcours de combatant, the French term for a military obstacle course. ____4____Dr Kenneth Kao explains that the sport of parkour is not extreme – it is the environment which is extreme and dangerous. Being outside jumping off railings and flipping over park benches can be quite frightening, so parkour courses in gyms concentrate on practicing all the individual moves to make everything easier. ____5____ However, that is not real parkour because it’s indoors with a fixed obstacle. The goal for everyone is to go outdoors.A. Gyms provide thick floor matting (垫子) for rolling and rubberized boxes for jumping over.B. The bridges, buildings and railings (栏杆) of each and every city are the equipment.C. Every action in parkour is natural, so everyone must have the ability to move in this way.D. Parkour was introduced into china in recent years and has gained popularity.E. But today, due to modern transport, these basic skills are no longer used on a regular basis.F. The French word for people who participate in the sport is traceurs or traceuses.G. Beginners should realize that they won’t be jumping over buildings any time soon!（六）Here's a surprising truth—one of the most powerful weapons to enhance your life is your owntongue!1 Concentrate on the qualities of other people that you can affirm instead of on their faults. This alone should do wonders in relieving stress in your relationships. Doctors know that prolonged anxiety harms you，but encouraging words can remove stress and a peaceful mind leads to improved physical health, too. 2Avoid fueling verbal fire. When someone starts to blow up all at you，be careful about your response. Why burn your relationship house down with your own mouth？Try spraying water on an argument with calm words instead of using a flamethrower. How many marriages have been destroyed when in a fit of anger people spew out hurtful accusations to one another that are never forgotten! 3 “A soft answer turns away wrath(狂怒), but a harsh word stirs up anger.”Stop complaining. We all know people who complain all the time，especially about the fault of others. 4 Nothing is ever going well for them，and probably nothing ever will—as long as they keep complaining and putting their energy on what they really don't want.Do think before you speak. 5 It is useless regretting. It doesn't matter how unintentional they may be，words can sometimes cut a lot deeper than a sword. Very often you'll hear people say，“I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.”Well，if you didn't want to hurt feelings why couldn't you be thoughtful before you let the unpleasant words escape your loose lips?A．You should practice waiting a while before answering someone when you are angry.B．Practice speaking positive words instead of negative ones.C．We store in our minds in a kind of mental art gallery what others have said to us.D．Once the words leave your mouth, it is impossible to take them back.E．The longer you think, the better you'll speak.F．The more they do so, the more they are disliked.G．Think twice before speaking.（七）Having a learning disability doesn’t mean you can’t learn. Learning disabilities happen because of the way a person’s brain takes in and processes information. ___1___ The trick will be figuring out how you learn best.Learning disabilities aren’t contagious(传染的), but they can be genetic. That means they can be passed down in families through the genes, like many other traits we get from our parents and grandparents. Someone with a learning disability probably has other family members who have some learning troubles, too. Kids with learning problems are sometimes surprised to find out that one of their parents had similar troubles when he or she was in school. ____2____Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works.It’s very hard for a kid to know if he or she has a learning disability. But kids don’t have to figure all this out on their own. ___3_____ Start with your teacher and your mom or dad.Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting. ___4_____ But the truth is that learning disabilities are pretty common. And if your learning specialist or psychologist has figured out which one you’re facing, you’re on the right track. Now, you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.To make this special help really work, you’ll need to practise the new skills you’re learning. It may take a lot of efforts every day. ____5____ Soon, you’ll enjoy the results of all your hard work: More fun and success at school!A．As a result, some people learn differently.B．What a kid needs to do is to tell someone.C．That can be a challenge, but you can do it.D．You might feel different from everyone else.E．There are people who know how to do just that.F．But kids today have an advantage over their parents.G．But you’ll need some help and you’ll need to work extra hard.（八）A Memorable Science ProjectIf someone tells you to remember a phone number or address, it feels like an easy task at first. You repeat the numbers to yourself, either aloud or in your mind. But after just a few seconds you might find yourself starting to doubt your own memory. 1 Thus, it will try to throw awayinformation that seems old or irrelevant. There are ways of helping our minds retain(记住) information, however, and in this activity you will explore ways that we lose and keep memories.Shortterm, or working memory, is a way of describing most people’s abilities to store a small amount of information for a brief period of time in a readily accessible form. 2 People don’t have to stop and think to remember something in shortterm memory.3 Such techniques include visualizing(观察) the information in a surprising way or linking pieces of information together so that one reminds you of the other. In the case of visualizing information, this could be as simple as remembering you parked your car on the fifth floor in the D section by picturing five dogs sitting in your car！4 If you need to purchase cereal(谷物), milk, fruit, cheese and eggs, you could imagine the cereal in a bowl, with milk pouring over it and pieces of fruit on top. Then imagine cracking an egg over everything, and it’s full of melted cheese! These may seem simple or even silly.5 In this activity you’ll test the recall of a few friends or family members, and learn a few tricks for improving memory!A．There are many techniques for improving memory.B．Our brain is always seeking new and useful information.C．Shortterm memory has a short duration but is quickly and easily accessed.D．In addition，linking information could help you remember your grocery list.E．Retaining that information over longer periods of time becomes difficult yet.F．Your shortterm memory has a limited amount of space to store information.G．However，they are proved to be good ways for improving memory by scientists.答案（一）1-5 GFBEA（二）GBDEF(三) EGADF(四) CBEGF(五) BGEFA(六) BGAFD （七）AFBDC (八) BCADG。

Stay loose and free.2 Don't worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won't work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. 3 Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle — as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.The third technique is to try printing out a triple-spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. 4 As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. 5 The resulting blank space invites you to revise.A. Make sure your handwriting is neat.B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.C. The second draft of the essay should be better.D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.E.

What's the weather like? Whatdoes the air smell like? What are you doing while you're there? How does being there make you feel? You'll instantly feel calmer, lost in the daydream or the memory of your happy place.We can make our situations worse by keeping thinking about negative thoughts. 3 " Bad things always happen to me, " becomes "What lesson can I learn from this situation?" "I wasted the whole day," becomes "I still have 5 more hours left to make today a great day!"Whether it is going for a coffee at your favorite cafe, or catching a movie in the theatre, make sure that once a week you schedule some "me" time. 4 That may mean getting less done during the day, but you deserve to take a mental break, regularly.

I had always described it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but as soon as I stepped foot on the continent, I immediately knew I needed to return.1 About 50% of the passengers of our expedition (远征) had been to Antarctica at least once before. This goes to show just how magical of a destination it is.That all your senses will be stimulated is the best way I can describe the time on the white continent. How tiny you feel next to towering glaciers and icebergs! The icy water moving through your body as you take the infamous Polar Plunge. The learning of heart-touching stories of survival from explorers of the past. 2Antarctica makes you feel so small and insignificant, in the best way. 3 You get front row seats to witness the most incredible show: nature. It is as much beautiful as cruel. For example, when you see a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick, your heart aches. Then your expedition guide regretfully tells you that a chick that is small in March wouldhave very slim chances of surviving the upcoming winter. The cycle continues, and you're left wondering who to root for.Things move fast in Antarctica, and every month offers something really unique and special to see. In March, the weather is a bit more unpredictable, and the sea ice is beginning to form again. 4 In two more weeks, expedition ships would not be able to break through the ice.The penguins are completing their yearly feather-changing process. 5 The expedition team made sure we kept our distance and did not scare them into hiding under freezing water.These animals, arguably the cutest you will ever see, survive such unfavorable environments. It's absolutely incredible to witness the challenges, the skill, the efforts, all of it. I am forever grateful to have been a visitor.A. The list goes on.B. But this is not always the case.C.

Avoid the hottest time of the day — between 11 am and 3 pm. 3 Also take care to watch the weather and avoid exercising when humidity (湿度) is high.Dress for the heat.

This reminded me of my seventh grade musical — "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". I desperately wanted to play the role of Becky, the female lead who was Tom's girlfriend. 1For starters, Becky had to sing numerous solos, and I couldn't carry a tune. I also didn't have long blonde curls like pretty Linda Wright who won the part.I was assigned the non-singing role of Miss Watson, the maid. I had to wear an ugly dress. And I had only one line to learn, " That's what I say. " 2 Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes, and got to repeat. "That's what I say" throughout the play.At last, our production was put onstage. Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson made the audience laugh out loud each time I piped up with "That's what I say". I hadn't known that she — or I — could be funny, or that her character was important in moving the plot along. 3That night, I began to understand that being the star may not be any more fun than being a standout in a supporting role. Each person, onstage and backstage, is essential in theater. Without everyone doing their part, the play would be dull as dishwater. 4 If everyone is a star then nothing gets done. It's all noise and chaos.And so I believe all children should get the opportunity to play Miss Watson, to become someone they didn't know they wanted to be. 5A. So it is in life.B. It was not to be.C. It was anything but a great part.D. My Miss Watson turned out to be a hit.E. It took the entire cast to make a good show.F. There was an advantage, in my opinion, though.G. I would hope all children could be a hit in life.创新练-高分必抢限时：20 分钟Passage7语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与自我--做人和做事词数：约255 It was time for Macy to move. She booked a few house viewings and after looking at three places, she fell in love with one house. But that night a feeling of doubt and uncertainty entered her head. 1 Will the others be cheaper?We've all found ourselves in such situations, whether we're considering job offers or buying a new car. It's a problem that involves mathematics and psychology. And it's got a name: the optimal (最优的) stopping problem. 2 It's askinghow long we spend sampling options to give the optimal chances of a successful final decision.Mathematicians have given us an answer: 37%. The basic idea is that, if we need to make a decision from 100 different options, we should sample and give up the first 37. 3 It's a period during which we identify what works and what does not. From the rejected 37%, we choose the best and keep that information in our heads moving forward.Mathematics offers us the best answer to the " optimal stopping problem". But there's just one big issue: Humans are not rational(基于理性的)probability-calculating machines. In fact, the opposite is usually true. 4 In the psychological and economics field, there is an " explore/ exploit trade-off (探索/利用权衡)".This asks whether we should go with a guaranteed "win " ( exploit) or risk going somewhere else for an unknown outcome (explore). The degree to which someone will explore or exploit depends on various factors. 5 Of course, different people are more exploitative or exploitative at different times. Teenagers and traders tend to explore more. Adults and managers exploit more.A. What if the next house is better?B. How much does it cost a month?C. The 37% rule is not some mindless, automatic thing.D. And it ties in with how curious or risk-seeking we are.E. It's then necessary for us to improve our computing power.F. So it falls on psychology to tell us about how we actually behave.G. The mathematical question for Macy concerns maximizing probabilities.Passage8语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与自我--日常生活词数：约300 If you’ve ever been bitten by a mosquito, you know how frustrating their bites can be. 1 , creating an itch that once you start scratching only seems to get worse. Why does a mosquito bite itch and what can we do?Why does a mosquito bite itch?When a mosquito bites you, it pierces the skin using a special mouthpart to suck up blood and injects saliva(唾液) into your skin. Mosquitoes’ saliva has lots of proteins in it, some of which our body recognizes as foreign things, and our immune cells spring into action to try to fight them. 2 It's actually the body's response to the foreign mosquito proteins it is trying to fight. That's why some people may only have a mild reaction to bites, while others, more sensitive to the foreign proteins, react with large areas of swelling that are more painful.What helps resist the urge to scratch?"Don't scratch" is the advice that most experts and health professionals give. As hard and sometimes unrealistic as it can sound, scratching inflames(使更棘手)the skin, and the inflammation makes the skin itch more. 3 ,”warned DanielMarkowski, technical adviser for the American Mosquito Control Association, adding that in extreme cases, people can scar themselves.Instead, there are dozens of creams and sprays that promise itch relief as well as home remedies (疗法). Choosing what's right for you can often come down to trial and error. In general, all of the various anti-itch creams are very similar. There is no scientific evidence that these remedies work, and they can come with their own precautions or side effects. 4 5Some people can have serious allergic reactions to mosquitoes, although in practice it is rare, V osshall said.

If you choose a desert cactus (仙人掌) as your starter plant, that's fine. 2 That you see a particular species everywhere doesn't mean it's an easy plant to grow. It may be everywhere because it's easy to reproduce in a greenhouse, not at home. Some houseplants that are easy to care for include sweet flag, bamboo, spider plants, etc.3 With too little light, plants will produce small-sized leaves and become leggy.

If you think you've blown an interview, don't just give up. Although there's no sure-fire success, it's always a good idea to send a thank-you email after your interview, and it can't hurt to explain in the email why you were off your game. 5 Even if you can't save an interview that went poorly, there are things you can do to help reduce the stress. Take a deep breath and move on to the next opportunity.A. Look for lessons.B. Admit your mistakes.C. However, don't think about it for too long.D. Then ask if there is any way you can meet again.E.

Before you go online, decide what you're going for and stick to it. In this focused way you can go straight to what you want to see without mindlessly scrolling for things that don't support your intentions.Avoid comparison5 This famous saying has never been truer than when we see other people's seemingly " perfect lives" online.

You can use it to move between the different controls.The touch screen is a single system for many controls in your car. So simple? Actually, not simple at all, 2 It will always be more challenging to use. It will likely take more time to use for each function.Worse still, the touch screen mayalso put you at greater risk of being in an accident.In a car with buttons and other physical controls, you can often perform the same tasks without looking. 3 And you most likely receive physical feedback (反馈) through your fingers letting you know you've succeeded. Buttons are probably faster than touch screens. With a button, you reach over and easily get your fingers on it.4 They may be effective, but many also require multiple attempts to work. If you've ever asked your phone to do something, you know there are still challenges in speech recognition.However, if you need to use the touch screen to control systems in your car, I have a few suggestions.Get your basic setup running before your car is running down the road. If you have a passenger, let that person control the touch screen. 5A. But this also means extra steps for each action.B. The touch screen is far more complex than buttons.C. New cars are often completely touch screen-controlled.D. Physical controls have great advantages over touch screens.E. Always keep your eyes on the road instead of the fancy screen.F. You know when your hand is in the right place to use the controls.G. Some cars with touch screen controls can respond to voice commands.Passage16语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与社会--人际交往词数：约240There is no denying that it's hard to cheer up a friend when you can't be by their side. If you're looking for some ways to help your friends through hard times, this article is here to help.Text them to let them know that they're on your mind. 1 If your friends are in need of comfort, send them frequent reminders that you're thinking of them and tell them you miss them.

Make it more of an event than your usual phone call. Watch a movie online together. Pick a recipe and make the food in your respective kitchens. 5 And your friends will feel super valued to know that。
高考英语七选五题型专练
高考英语七选五题型专练(一)To forgive may be wonderful, but no one ever said it was easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger.___1___ In??deed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Freder??ic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good.So how do you start the healing? Try following these steps: Calm yourself. Take a couple of breaths and think of some??thing that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love.Don’t wait for an apology. ___2___ Luskin says, “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean coming to terms with the person who upsets you or forgiving his or her action after your quarrel.___3___ Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. “Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.” Luskin says.___4___ If you attach great importance to that person, you mayrealize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear and even love. To gain others’ stand, you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.___5___ Research has shown that people who forgive make a good show of more energy, better appetite and better sleeping patterns.Don’t forget to forgive yourself. “For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge." Luskin says, “but it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.”A. Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing.B. Break away from the influence of your offender on you early.C. But forgiveness is possible —and it can be surprisingly helpful toyour physical and mental health.D. Try to see things from the other person’s stand.E. So it is difficult to forgive others and even yourself.F. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.G. Forgiveness is not good of people.(二)Why do some people have many friends while others do not? ___1___ However, it is not so. Let’s look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy interpersonal relations.The first experiment is called the “Hawthorne effect” afterHawthorne, Illinois(伊利诺斯[美国州名]), where the experiment took place. A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company. ____2_____. The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone. They were surprised to find that productivity increased on both occasions and in both groups. They concluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management. It had increased their motivation and so they had worked harder. In other words, if you take an interest in others, they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them.___3___. After Martin Luther King, Jr was killed in 1960s, a teacher, Jane Elliott, living in an all-white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America.She divided the class into two groups: one with blue eyes and other with brown eyes. Other eye colors such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise. Then she told the class that brown-eyed people were cleverer than blue-eyed ones because of an agent(化学作用) for brown color found in their blood. Blue-eyed people were stupid, lazy and not to be trusted. Jane Elliott did not need to say any more. The brown-eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class. The blue-eyed students became quiet and withdrawn. Then she discoveredsomething very interesting. Four poor brown-eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before. ___4___. So if you want to be successful and happy, take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates. Congratulate them on their success and sympathize with them in their troubles. ___5___.A. Before the experiment the management talked to both groups of workers and explained that they wanted to find the best working environment for them.B. Remember that the way you treat others will decide their attitude and behavior to you.C. The second experiment shows what happens to personal relations if you are rude to or ignore others.D. The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others.E. Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behavior but also their confidence and their performance.F. You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them.G. The second experiment tells us what teachers said had a great effect on the students.(三)Advertising Everywhere1Now that messages can go around the world at high speed，the world is becoming smaller and products can be sold everywhere．But it is true that the problems of international advertising—problems of language and culture—have become larger than ever．For example，Braniff Airlines wanted to advertise its fine seals，but when its advertisement was translated from English into Spanish，it told people that they could fly without wearing clothes!To avoid problems in translation，most advertisement firms are now writing completely new ads．In writing new ads，international advertisers must choose different methods of advertising for different countries．In some countries，an advertisement usually gives a description of the productand explains why it is better than others．2But in Japan，the message is based more on situations and feelings than on words．For this reason，many television advertisements broadcast in Japan show people at a party，picnic，or in some other pleasant situations．They willnot say that a product is better than others．Instead，the goal will be to create a good feeling aboutthe product3For instance，certain countries will not allow TV advertisements on Sundays，and others will not allow them for children’s products on any day．The world advertiser who doesnot understand such laws aud customs will soon have problems．Finally，there is the choice of what to advertise．4So the best advertisement in the world means nothing if the product is not suitable for the market．Comparing such as McDonald’s in Hawaii，you will find Chinese food provided on the menu．If you stop at a McDonald’s in Germany，you can order a beer with your meal．All of these products must be sold with the right kind of message5But no matter how difficult this job may be，it is very important for global advenrtisers to do it well．Knowing how to advertise in the world market can help companies for success．A．People around the world have different likes and dislikes．B．This is true in the United States，Britain，and GemanyC．They just show how the product is madeD．In the advertising industry，selling products is the most important goalE．International advertisers must also consider differences in laws and customsF．It can be explained by a word，a passage，or even a pictureG．It can never be an easy job for advertisers to create message(四)I was in Tokyo last spring, walking in the street and talking with my dear friend Kirsten. 1It turned out to be a group of four very hipJapanese college students playing their music instruments for anyone who would listen.2In the middle of the second song, an old homeless man broke through the crowd and started shouting at the band. The musicians did their best to ignore him but the man would not go away. It seemed he was angry about the loud noise.I remember there were probably two dozen people watching this. 3I was also helpless because first, I couldn’t speak much Japanese, and second, the homeless man was starting to get more and more violent. At one point, he picked up a stick and started banging on the drum set.This was more than the young drummer could take. He stopped playing, stood up and pushed the old man to the ground.4He knelt down next to the old man, took hold of his hands and asked him if he was alright. I couldn’t understand what was being said, but I will never forget the way this young man helped bring the fallen man to his feet. And I will never forget the way he carefully placed his arm around the old man’s shoulders and quietly walked him away.5Maybe this old man was a prince in disguise. And maybe he was waiting to see someone act, just once, with beauty and courage.A.I couldn’t help but wonder.B.All of them went away at once.C.Suddenly, we heard the sound of a jazz band.D.Everybody became angry with the old man.E.But no one knew what they could or should do.F.However, not everyone was enjoying the music.G.At that time, a young Japanese man went through the crowd quietly.(五)Sleep is something we all do. But some people need to sleep more than others. Babies sleep most of the time. Children in school sleep about ten to twelve hours a night. Most grown-ups sleep only seven or eight hours. 1All parts of our bodies have to rest after they work. Our arms need a rest after we lift heavy things. When we run fast, our legs work hard. They get tired. We have to rest them. Our brains work hard, too.2We can sit quite still and rest our arms and legs. But our brains aren’t resting. They go right on thinking as long as we are awake.Our brains slow down a bit when we sleep and dream.3Instead of thinking wide-awake thought, our brains make up dreams. Some dreams are very pleasing. Some are not. Most of the time we forget them when we wake up.Scientists have tried to find out what would happen if people were not allowed to sleep. They asked some people not to go to bed. The people stayed up all night and all the next day. They stayed up the nextnight, too and the day after. They played games. But they made mistakes. They forgot things. 4 . The people grew rude and mean. They became angry with their friends. Finally they were too tired to stand up. The moment they sat down, they fell asleep.Scientists found that if people are not allowed to sleep, they act in an unusual way.5But we do know that we need it to stay well.So tonight have a good sleep. Lie down under the covers. Shut your eyes. Let your thoughts travel about. Soon you’ll stop thinking. You’ll be asleep.A. But even as we sleep our brains are doing some work.B. It was hard for their tired brains to work.C. When we are awake, they help us pay attention to the world around us.D. No one knows quite surely why sleep is so good for us.E. Good sleep helps to improve one’s memory.F. But babies, children and grown-ups ----all of us need to have our sleep.(六)It seems that the Englishmen just cannot live without sports of some kind. 1Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children andgrown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it?Taking all amateur（业余）and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. 2 The game originated（起源于）in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or “association football”, it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.3 . It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British.4 . It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world.Table tennis, or “ping-pong, surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or Japan.5 . Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lotof people.A. A famous French humorist once said that this is because theEnglish insist on behaving like children all their lives.B. It is called soccer in the United StatesC. The next is rugby, which is called “football” in the United StatesD. Tennis rates high on the list, tooE. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularityF. people often work out to build up their bodies.G. not everyone likes ball games(七)1With the invention of the Internet several decades ago, do you feel that since then it has made us human beings feel more connected to the world and one another, or has it isolated（使孤立）us and made us feel more alone than ever before?What about you as an individual?● 2The Internet enables us to know what’s happening in the world. We couldn't imagine talking to people everywhere in the world twenty years ago.●3It unites us because we talk to others from all around our country and tha world, but the Internet can be addicting, and keep usaway from people for a while, There is an inherent (内在的) human need for direct human contact (e.g. touching, talking face to face, etc.) that the Internet has all taken away.● 4It has given me freedom beyond my imagination. I’m home-bound with many duties to attend to. My life is a bit too crowded. Duties duties duties. I get lost many times not knowing who I really am！This medium is my best friend. It just lets me BE！I can speak here without fear or favour.● 5Chatting online is completely different from hanging out with friends outside or hearing their voice over the phone．I find that it’s not just the Internet that has increased this sense of isolation，even iPods，MP3s，such devices kind of separate us，make us lose focus on the everyday happenings of life．A. I think that the Internet isolates as well as unites us.B. I believe it unites us more than it isolates us.C. Do you feel that the Internet unites us or isolates us?D. What is happening in the world today?E. The Internet is playing a more and more important role.F. I think it has isolated us more.G. I am truly grateful for this new technology.(八)Brain TransplantsResearch on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists in recent years.1If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists are doing is to make better use of the hard disc.The idea that a human brain could be transplanted (移植) may come from Frankenstein. In 2019, an experiment turned a bear into a dolphin (海豚).2They were made of the memory area in the dolphin’s brain containing information about swimming. They had a series of useful information, which was saved into a button – sized chip (芯片). Later the information was transplanted into the action memory area in the bear’s brain.3It proved to be a highly successful experiment and a bear was turned into a dolphin.Recently, another memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Rescarch Instance of the University of California. The experiment bad an entire transplant of the memory area.4The transplant was performed from a dog named Cenius to a dog named idiot. Cenius could follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. However, Idiot had no contact with people since its birth. It because an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.5When the two dogs woke up, Idiot had grasped all the abilities Cenius possessed; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But Ceniusgave no response to its master, and did not recognize him at all.A．The experiment was a complete success.B．It included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc.C．Then it was released (释放) by means of electric power.D．Different images have different meanings in the memory area.E．Using the most advanced technology, detailed images were produced.F．Discoveries show that messages are carried by the central nervous system in the brain.G．One of the latest topics is how to change the human brain or combine it with the computer.(九)(1) ______You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.(2)______ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good studyarea. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class. (3)______ Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. (4)_______ If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.(5)_______ You will probably discover them after you have tried these.A. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.B. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.C. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.D. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.E. Maybe you are an average student.F. Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.G. This will help you understand the next class.(十)1Frankly, I very much appreciate myself. Yes, I admit I’m in many respects(方面) not as good as other people, but I don’t think I’m always not good. When I find what I’ve done or written is okay, I’ll remain pleased with myself for quite a few days, and in case I receive praise for it, I’ll even become so excited as to add a few words to glorify(赞美) myself.True, I’m not modest at all. 2But I think otherwise.3I appreciate anything good. Isn’t it unfair to forget appreciating myself while appreciating others?We Chinese are generally inclined(倾向的) to be modest, and we take pride in being so. For example, a Chinese will call his own wife zhuojing, meaning “my humble wife”, and his own writings zhuozuo, meaning “my poor writings”. But if you should call his wife a “rustic(乡巴佬) woman” or his writings “trash”, he would , I’m sure, slap the table in a rage and declare he would make a clean break with you. 4I don’t think it’s wrong for you to freely praise yourself if you’rereally worthy of praise. As we know, there is an old Chinese saying disparaging(轻视的) a melon peddler, named Lao Wang, who keeps praising his own goods. Well, why can’t he praise his melons if they are really weet and juicy?Friends, Lao Wang sells melons for a living. How could he carry on business if he, by imitating the affections of us intellectuals(知识分子)，were to show false modesty about his melons? He would sure enough die of starvation.Self-appreciation is therefore key to professional dedication(贡献) and enjoyment of work.. 5Needless to say, the same is true of those who make a living with their pen.A. I also appreciate other people.B. On Self-controlC. On Self-AppreciationD. People may call me conceited(自负的).E. We need appreciate ourselves.F. One will lose confidence in continuing with writing when he ceases(停止) to admire his own essays.G. As a matter of fact, there is probably no differenc at all between what is said by him and you respectively(各别地).(十一)Being healthy means taking care of yourself physically andmentally. Here are some of my best tips on how to do both:Break a bad habit.You don’t really “break” habits. __1__. So if your problem is that you eat too much when you get home from work, find something new to do that is incompatible（不能共存的）with what you usually do. You can’t walk around the track at the school and pig out in your kitchen at the same time.Grow your marriage.2_. It’s always a give-and-take, always requires work. It’s as if you planted a garden and came back six months later─you wouldn’t even be able to find it. __3__.Beat stress.My dog, Maggie, is the best anti-stress tool I have. A few minutes petting, scratching or playing with her, and __4__. Exercise also helps. Just about every day, I’m on the tennis court. It’s a great workout, and if I don’t have that, I don’t cope as well, sleep as well or think as well.Refocus your anger.Expressing your anger is just not that good an idea. You say things you don’t mean. __5__. When you do that, you’re a problem solver.Don’t medicate(掺入药) with food.It never, ever works. You’re denying your issue by eating your way through it, instead of saying, “Hey, I’ve got a problem.”A.You replace the unwanted behavior with something that preventsyou from doing it and that doesn’t have unhealthy side effects.B.I’ll feel easy.C.If there is a problem, you needn’t deal with it immediately.D.You have to tend it, feed it, weed it, and deal with the problems.E.Instead, recognize that anger is usually a symptom of hurt, fear or frustration, and deal with the causes rather than blow up.F.Relationships are negotiated（协商）, and the negotiation never stops.G.You do something without any good effect on your health during the time when you usually do something harmful to your body.(十二)Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: "How do I get a good job?" 1.There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and find the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in-person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decisionof their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. 2. He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the young man offered to take his place. 3.4 . If the young man had gone home to ponder（考虑）his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to get plum jobs（美差）. When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. 5. And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.A．This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.B．People find jobs in an limitless number of ways.C．It's almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers.D．Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.E．But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewerall the company's faults.F．He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.G．It is very important to seize an opportunity when you are given one.(十三)McDonald's Corporation （NYSE: MCD）is the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants, serving nearly 47 million customers daily．______1____Brands （KFC, Taco Bell and others）and sandwich chain Subway．In addition to its signature restaurant chain, McDonald’s Corporation held a minority interest in Pret A Manger until 2019, and owned the Chipotle Mexican Grill until 2019 and the restaurant chain Boston Market until 2019．______2___The corporations' revenues come from the rent, royalties and fees paid by the franchisees, as well as sales in company-operated restaurants．____3_____In response to obesity trends in western nations and in the face of criticism over the healthiness of its products, the company has modified its menu to include such healthier alternatives as salads, wraps and fruit．The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California．Their introduction of the "Speedee Service System" in 1948 established the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant．The original mascot of McDonald's was a man with a chef's hat on top of a hamburger shaped head whose name was "Speedee．" Speedee was eventually replaced with Ronald McDonald in 1963．The first McDonald's restaurants opened in the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, France, El Salvador and Sweden in order of openings．The present corporation dates its founding to the opening of a franchised restaurant by Ray Kroc, in Des Plaines, Illinois on April 15, 1955, the ninth McDonald's restaurant overall．___4____Kroc was also noted for aggressive business practices, compelling the McDonald brothers to leave the fast food industry．The McDonald brothers and Kroc feuded over control of the business, as documented in both Kroc's autobiography and in the McDonald brothers' autobiography．_____5____A．McDonald's primarily sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken products, french fries, breakfast items, soft drinks, milkshakesand desserts．B．The site of the McDonald brothers' original restaurant is now a monument．C．At one time it was the largest global restaurant chain, but it has since beensurpassed by multi-brand operator Yum!D．Each McDonald's restaurant is operated by a franchisee, an affiliate, or the corporation itself．E．The company has also expanded the McDonald's menu in recent decades to include alternative meal options。

选项中有两项为多余选项。
AWhen I first met Bud, I knew we were going to be friends, even though he was white and I was black. We first met at the All-City Chorus. 1 We stood side by side in the chorus, and he always made me look good, even if I missed a note.Bud went to an all-white high school in a beautiful, all-white neighborhood. There were very few big buildings in his community. As a matter of fact, you would have to walk four or five blocks to get to the nearest shoppingcenter. 2 In his basement, he had a complete mini-gym. In his bedroom, he had a nice desk, complete with reference books and his own little TV on which he could play his video games.3 My family lived in a nice apartment in an all-black housing project. Our project housed many families, so we were used to living in small crowded houses.4 There were all kinds of stores nearby. For beauty, we had basketball courts and the rose garden in front of the project building.We were never jealous or looked down on one another, either. We both felt we had lost something because we lived in worlds set apart from others. Bud's only contact (接触) with blacks of his age was in the All-City Chorus. 5 And it was not as interesting as it would have been if he had grown up with people of different groups and races living together. I felt the same way. Both races could learn a great deal from one another, and I knew this because Bud and I surely did learn from each other.A. Bud's house was another point of interest.B. Because of this, he felt his life was sheltered.C. We never had to walk far to the nearest store.D. My home and neighborhood were totally different.F. You should build your greenhouse based on the amount of space you have available.G. Whatever reasons you have, knowing the basic steps of building a greenhouse counts.CHow to set goalsWhether you have small dreams or great expectations, setting goals allows you to plan how you want to move through life. Some achievements can take a lifetime to attain. 1 No matter what goals you are setting, getting started can be difficult, but we'll show you how to build up to even the biggest dream.•Determine your life goals. 2 What do you want to achieve: today, in a year, in your lifetime? The answers to this question can be as general as “I want to be happy,” or “I want to help people.” A career life goal might be to open your own business. A fitness goal might be to become fit. These goals can be amazingly broad.•Set priorities (优先的事物). At any given moment, you probably have a number of goals all in different states of completion. 3 If you find yourself with too many goals, you're going to feel lost and are less likely to accomplish them.•Keep track of your progress. Writing in a journal is a great way to keep track of both personal and professional progress. Acknowledging the progress made towards a certain goal is key to staying motivated. 4 Asking a friend to keep you on track can also help you stay focused.• 5 Once you have achieved goals — even major life goals — you will want to continue to grow and set new goals for yourself. Once you run your marathon, you should assess what you'd like to do next. Do you want to run another marathon, but improve your time? Or do you want to run longer distances?A. Keep setting goals.B. So be realistic about your goals.C. It may even encourage you to work harder.D. Others, however, can be completed in the course of a day.E. Break the big picture down into smaller and more specific goals.F. So deciding which goals are more important than others is important.G.

Remember that breaking out from that shell doesn't magically happen overnight. It takes time, effort, and of course, the desire to change. You're on the right track by just reading this article — nowlet's keep going.Figure out your triggers (诱因). Do you become shy in front of new audiences? Or when surrounded by people you know and admire? Try to find out the thoughts that go through your head right before the shynesshits. 2 You're okay being around your family, right? Are they different from the strangers around you? Of course not — you just know them better and what's more, they know you.Place your attention on others. For 99% of us, we become shy when we think if we speak up or stand out, we'll embarrass ourselves. 3 When we stop focusing on ourselves, we stop worrying about our performance.4 You have gotten used to hearing your own voice! Record yourself pretending to have conversations. Sounds ridiculous, sure, but you'll notice patterns, when and why you drop off, etc. At the beginning you'll feel like an actor, but it will become an old habit.

专题03 七选五最新试题专练-【应试策略题型考前指导】2024届高考考前英语应试指导
专题03 七选五最新试题专练1.2024届湖北省七市州高三年级3月联合统一调研测试英语试题My name is McKenzie Skiles and I’m a snow hydrologist (水文学家) at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. 36 Actually, the purpose is to track dust’s impact on water resources.I am most interested in the impact of warming temperatures on snow melting rates, and I have started studying snowmelt since 2009 in Utah and Colorado. When I skied to research sites in Utah to collect snow for mye x p e r i m e n t,t h e m o u n t a i n o u s l a n d s c a p e s w e r e c o v e r e d i n d u s t.37 It’s clear that 2009 was one of the biggest years for dust deposition (沉积) onto snow.38 I usually have to cover several kilometers, carrying a 27-kilogramme pack with a shovel (铲子) to diga snow hole, tools to cut snow and measure its density, and containers to collect snow for analyses. One year, I hit a dusty area of snow, broke my ski and sliced my leg open.In areas with heavy dust deposition, such as the southern Rocky Mountains, dust speeds up melting by one or two months. Warming air temperatures affect snow gathering, but dust builds up over time and darkens the surface.39I’m now exploring different ice and snow landscapes for further research. For example, how black-carbon buildup following forest fires affects melting. 40 As we move into a future that is likely to be even dustier, we need them to predict snowmelt for many reasons, including working out how to use water in the western United States efficiently.A. The dust caused a lot of trouble.B. I went for miles in the wilderness.C. Doing my research is no easy task.D. One of the goals is to develop snowmelt models.E. In Colorado, the red dust from desert soils had also blown in.F. As a result, the snow will absorb more sunlight and quicken melting.G. My job is to ski in the wilderness to measure dust on top of snow each spring.参考答案本文是一篇记叙文。

2023届高考英语备考一轮复习七选五专题训练题组 (3)
全国百所名校2023年高考英语备考一轮复习资料七选五专练题组汇编（三）姓名：班级：得分：AIt is a common sight to see a teacher standing in front of the white board, giving explanations. Occasionally, some topics do require such a teacher-centered lesson. ___1____ They can neither remember nor recall the teachings of the day. How can this boredom be beaten?Cooperative learning is one effective classroom practice to make the lessons attractive and learners active. Interaction is key to any form of learning. Cooperative learning allows students to interact constructively in small groups to complete a structured task. ____2____ Cooperative learning is a learning style that promotes the four core skills: cooperation through team effort, communication through face-to-face interactions, critical thinking and creativity through reasoning and problem solving. Teachers are no longer the only source of information. The success of an assignment is dependent on combined efforts. __3____ Each member assigned a specific role or task must contribute to the completion of the team assignment to ensure equal distribution of labour.However, cooperative learning is not always smooth sailing. One main struggle would be personality conflicts. If passive and shy students are paired with perfectionists, the latter may end up dominating to the point of ruling out their chicken teammates. ___4___ The tendency to communicate just amongst themselves will lead to the shy students being left out, putting them at a disadvantage again.___5___ It shapes students to become active learners. Indeed, a constant cooperative learning environment equips young minds to become successful grown-ups in an increasingly diverse and interdependent world.A．Individual responsibility is equally important too.B．With teachers’ help, students can understand them better.C．However, if it is a daily routine, pupils will soon get bored.D．Students in groups of three or four work together to do a task.E．Another obstacle occurs when certain members are well familiar.F．In this way, lively participation and a better mastery of the subject are achieved. G．Although cooperative learning has some problems, its long term benefits outweigh problems.BLanguage is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. Similarly, music is a part of many people’s lives. ___1___ Here are some of their similarities.Both language and music have a writing systemIn English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Just as you are reading this collection of letters on thepaper and find meaning in it, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear. ___2___ For example, we can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting.Both vary with culture___3___ In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, which gives us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music. This also means that there is something for everyone! Even if you don’t like Britpop melodies, you may love the energy of Latin American salsa music.Both share emotionHow do you know that I am angry? ___4___ Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song. ___5___ A．Different culture makes different music.B．Both language and music play a huge role in our lives.C．You can guess where someone is from by listening to their language.D．By reading pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time.E．In contrast, you have probably also listened to sad music when you were feeling down.F．Of course, you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. G．We have all used music to express our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.CLaughter has positive, quantifiable physiological and psychological effects on certain aspects of health. ____1____It provides low-intensity exercise and burn calories.___2___ It is particularly important for seniors as well as bedridden or wheelchair-bound people. It is a unique way to improve one’s daily health.____3____ The relaxation of the muscles in line with the increased heart rate allows the blood to flow more freely throughout your body. At the same time if your blood pressure is low it can be increased over time due to the aerobic(有氧的)exercise that it provides.It reduces pain. Endorphins(内啡肽)are your body’s natural painkillers. They are released into your body and then distributed throughout your nervous system when you laugh.___4__ It sharpens up the immune system. When you laugh, your heart serves as the central pump that puts blood through your blood vessels. This assists the lymphatic vessels(淋巴管)in carrying blood through your body and helps your lymph nodes to clean, removing waste products, dead cells, and even unwanted microorganisms.___5___ These are necessary for you to be at your best. Increased lymphatic flow equals a heightened, improved immune system.A．It regulates blood pressure.B．It provides more oxygen for the heart.C．Maintaining blood clean is important.D．Laughter has a positive influence on your heart.E．Here are some benefits of laughter on physical health.F．Regular laughter is often used to assist with pain management.G．When you laugh, all your body systems are affected positively.DWhat’s the use of language? Why does the human race learn to speak, write, and sign?___1__ Certainly the primary purpose of language is for communication. We use language to communicate our ideas and opinions to each other. We use it to tell others our thoughts. Sometimes we tell the truth. Sometimes we tell lies. But in all these cases, the basic aim is clear: to get the ideas in our head into someone else’s head. __2___ But there are several other uses of language where the basic aim has nothing to do with communicating ideas.____3____ Earlier in the book, I talked about accents and dialects. These tell people who we are and where we come from. In both ways we express our identities.Here’s another use of language: to express our emotions. Imagine you’re hammering a nail into a piece of wood, but something goes wrong and you hit your finger instead. What will come out of your mouth? ____4____ But quite a few would shout, “Stupid hammer!” as if it was the hammer’s fault. What sort of language is this? The hammer doesn’t have a brain, so it can’t possibly understand us. So what are we doing? Actually, we just want to get rid of our nervous energy. By shouting at the hammer, we feel a bit better.We also use language to avoid embarrassment and get on with other people. Imagine people sometimes say such things as “Looks like rain” or “Lovely day” when they meet each other. They don’t want to start a proper conversation, but they feel it would be rude to pass by in silence.____5____A．Therefore, they make a comment on the weather.B．One of these uses of language is to express identity.C．Of course, if you’re very brave you might not say anything.D．It shows that we’re getting on well with the people we’re talking to.E．And for that to happen, we must speak them, write them, or sign them.F．We might think the answer is very simple: to communicate with each other.G．Rather a large number of people, I suspect, would shout out something bad.EHow to Save Water During a Drought?The drought is happening because of climate change. California just had its driest year in a century. Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared a statewide drought emergency, asking all Californiansto save water in every way possible. ___1___ , though you can’t save California on your own Small things can add up. You’ve probably heard these tips before, but consider this a refresher course: Don’t let the water running while you wash dishes in the sink or washing, brushing or shaving. ___2__ . Water outdoor plants in the morning or evening, so you don’t lose as much water to evaporation in the midday sun.Replace old appliances. How old is your toilet? If it’s from before 1990, it could be using up to 6 gallons per flush. Newer toilets may use as little as 1.28 gallons or less. ___3__ . Upgrading your dishwasher and washing machine and any other water-intensive appliance will also pay savings dividends(红利), in both water and energy costs.__4_ . Keep an eye on your water bill. If it creeps higher than normal without a good reason, investigate whether you have a leak somewhere. Depending on the type of water meter(仪表)you have, you may be able to monitor the meter with all your water turned off and see whether anything is still moving through your system, __5__ .Consider your overall lifestyle of water usage and do everything within your power to use less water. Individual action can make a big change.A．Focus on the water billB．Individual action mattersC．Find out the potential problemD．They can save a lot per household per dayE．It’s political action that brings a significant changeF．You may also use a smart detector to tell you once there’s a problemG．Only run washing machines and dishwashers when you have a full load全国百所名校2023年高考英语备考一轮复习资料七选五专练题组汇编答案（三）CFAEG【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

AWhen I first met Bud, I knew we were going to be friends, even though he was white and I was black. We first met at the All-CityChorus. 1 We stood side by side in the chorus, and he always made me look good, even if I missed a note.Bud went to an all-white high school in a beautiful, all-white neighborhood. There were very few big buildings in his community. As a matter of fact, you would have to walk four or five blocks to get to the nearest shopping center. 2 In his basement, he had a complete mini-gym. In his bedroom, he had a nice desk, complete with reference books and his own little TV on which he could play his video games.3 My family lived in a nice apartment in an all-black housing project. Our project housed many families, so we were used to living in small crowded houses.4 There were all kinds of stores nearby. For beauty, we had basketball courts and the rose garden in front of the project building.We were never jealous or looked down on one another, either. We both felt we had lost something because we lived in worlds set apart from others. Bud's only contact (接触) with blacks of his age was in the All-City Chorus. 5 And it was not as interesting as it would have been if he had grown up with people of different groups and races living together. I felt the same way. Both races could learn a great deal fromone another, and I knew this because Bud and I surely did learn from each other.A. Bud's house was another point of interest.B. Because of this, he felt his life was sheltered.C. We never had to walk far to the nearest store.D. My home and neighborhood were totally different.E. People said we both had the same kind of personality.F. I could sing a little, but Bud really had a very good voice.G.

You might want to build a greenhouse in order to protect your plants during the time the weather is extremely cold, or you may simply want to get an early start for the spring. 1The first thing you need to do is check your local laws. Do you need to get a building permit Do you have to have your greenhouse plans first approved before you start building 2Once you decide to build your greenhouse, you will need to determine what materials to purchase. Usually the greenhouse covering is constructed from polycarbonate (聚碳酸酯), glass, plastic, or fiberglass. 3 The frame will usually be made from wood or plastic piping.Usually a larger greenhouse is called a hothouse or glasshouse. A smaller unit is referred to as a cold frame. 4 At the same time,you have to consider the budget you have available for materials, tools, and so forth.Whatever you do, it is wise to have some kind of understanding of how to build a greenhouse before you begin. 5 You can also check out a how-to book from your local library or bookstore. However, if you are not certain about how to do it, then you might want to buy a greenhouse kit (成套工具). Inside the kit you will find all of the parts you need and the directions on how to fix them together.A. Use recycled materials.B. Greenhouse plans can be found online easily.C. A greenhouse project is very different from normal gardening.D. These materials allow the sunlight to shine through your greenhouse.E. Be aware of all of these requirements, or you may experience a sad ending.F. You should build your greenhouse based on the amount of space you have available.G. Whatever reasons you have, knowing the basic steps of building a greenhouse counts.CHow to set goalsWhether you have small dreams or great expectations, setting goals allows you to plan how you want to move through life. Some achievements can take a lifetime to attain. 1 No matter what goals you are setting, getting started can be difficult, but we'll show you how to build up to even the biggest dream.•Determine your life goals. 2 What do you want to achieve: today, in a year, in your lifetime The answers to this question can be as general as “I want to be happy,” or “I want to help people.” A career life goal might be to open your own business. A fitness goal might be to become fit. These goals can be amazingly broad.•Set priorities (优先的事物). At any given moment, you probably have a number of goals all in different states of completion. 3 If you find yourself with too many goals, you're going to feel lost and are less likely to accomplish them.•Keep track of your progress. Writing in a journal is a great way to keep track of both personal and professional progress. Acknowledging the progress made towards a certain goal is key to staying motivated. 4 Asking a friend to keep you on track can also help you stay focused.• 5 Once you have achieved goals —even major life goals —you will want to continue to grow and set new goals for yourself. Once you run your marathon, you should assess what you'd like to do next. Do you want to run another marathon, but improve your time Or do you want to run longer distancesA. Keep setting goals.B. So be realistic about your goals.C. It may even encourage you to work harder.D. Others, however, can be completed in the course of a day.E. Break the big picture down into smaller and more specific goals.F. So deciding which goals are more important than others is important.G.

You're on the right track by just reading this article — now let's keep going.Figure out your triggers (诱因). Do you become shy in front of new audiences Or when surrounded by people you know and admire Try to find out the thoughts that go through your head right before the shyness hits. 2 You're okay being around your family, right Are they different from the strangers around you Of course not — you just know them better and what's more, they know you.Place your attention on others. For 99% of us, we become shy when we think if we speak up or stand out, we'll embarrassourselves. 3 When we stop focusing on ourselves, we stop worrying about our performance.4 You have gotten used to hearing your own voice! Record yourself pretending to have conversations. Sounds ridiculous, sure, but you'll notice patterns, when and why you drop off, etc. At the beginning you'll feel like an actor, but it will become an old habit. Practice makes habits, you know!Don't compare yourself to others. The more you compare yourself to others, the more you will feel that you are not able to measure up. There is no use comparing yourself to anybody else. 5 Everyone else has his own confidence problems, too!A. If so, you are far from alone.B. Even if you do, do it realistically.C. Practice speaking clearly to yourself.D. Chances are not all situations make you shy.E. That's why it's important to focus on others.F. Practice placing yourself in not-so-comfortable situations.G.
