Do you know how to write characters like “tiaozhou” (broom)?If you can’t,you’re not a lone. Nowadays, most people are typing into computers instead of writing on paper. We type Chinese characters largely according to their pronunciations. The result is to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.China Youth Daily once did a survey among about 2,500 people, in which about 99 percent said they had once forgotten how to write a common Chinese character.Compared to adults, teenagers are better at writing Chinese characters because they spend more time learning and practising at school. However, the influence of digital technology cannot be ignored (忽视),according to He Yu, head of a research team for Chinese teaching at a Beijing high school.“Many students are obsessed (沉迷于) with digital devices such as electronic dictionaries and computers to help with their studies. Overuse of these tools will make students too lazy to think and write,” he said.Such worries have brought about a popular TV show titled Chinese Spelling Hero, which focuses on Chinese character writing among teenagers. In April, the Ministry of Education called for a better calligraphy (书法) education in schools. Organizations like the China Calligraphers Association are also working to train more teachers in calligraphy.Interestingly, calligraphy teachers can’t always avoid the effects of modem technology. Shen Bin is a calligraphy t eacher at a primary school in Beijing. She admitted that it’s common for teachers like her to forget certain words.“The calligraphy class is also a good chance for me to remember how to write,” she said.

高考阅读理解新闻类文章解题思路

高考阅读理解新闻类文章解题思路

第八讲新闻报道类型阅读理解策略和解题技巧1.如果有标题,要重视标题,标题概况了新闻的主要内容2.仔细阅读导语,掌握新闻主旨如前文所述,导语(即文章的第一句话或第一自然段,有时第一段是引入lead,第二段是导语,往往在转折连词的后面,but,however)往往是对整篇文章的高度概括,正文部分则对导语展开叙述,因此读懂首句或首段至关重要。

抓了导语,便对新闻的中心事件或中心人物有了大体的把握。

3..重视每个段落的链接新闻报道看似松散,其实相反。

正文部分的若干小的段落,都是按照一定的顺序(时间,空间,逻辑)进行展开的,环环相扣。

4.重视阅读方法新闻报道主题突出,总是在一开始就把报道的关键点出来,然后再逐步介绍相关的背景知识,使新闻报道呈现出“倒金字塔”的特征。

这类文章语言简约,含义丰富,常用倒叙和插叙,并经常插入物访谈或评论,思维的跳跃性很大。

5.重视常用缩略语。

由于新闻报道力求简洁,所以用短词取代长词,用缩写代替词组。

Anexperiment under way off the coast ofNorway,however,could help put them anywhere.The project, called Hywind,is the world’s first large-scale deepwater wind turbine(涡轮发电机).Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton,2.3-megawatt turbine,Hywind represents totally new technology. The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar(see picture),a technology Hywind’s creator,the Norwegian companyStatoilHydro,has developed recently. The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cable(缆索);these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in thewave s.Hywind’s stability(稳定性)in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes according to plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as September.To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but it’s difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean. To make that turbine heavier, the whole spar’s to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox(变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades (see picture )Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planet’s surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available.1. The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of _______.A. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floorB. the spar which is floating in deep-sea waterC. the blades driven by strong and steady sea windD. the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface2. To balance a bigger turbine high on a flatting spar, a new type of turbine is to be designed with its gearbox sitting ____________.A. on the sea floorB. on the spar topC. at sea levelD. behind the blades3. Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can ____________.A. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmillsB. make financial profits by producing more turbinesC. settle the arguments about environmental problemsD. explore low-carbon power resources available at sea解析:本文是新闻报道。

The school provides AI classes to both junior and senior high school students. Apart from compulsory (必修的) courses that teach basic knowledge, there are also optional (选修的) courses if students want to learn more.“This semester in our compulsory class, we have learned coding (编程) through a programming language called Python,” said Zhang.

In March, the small city received about 4.8 million tourists. It is certainly not the only city that offers barbecue, or even the most famous one, but its seemingly sudden fame was steps in the making.Zhou Maosong, president of the Zibo Tourism Promotion Association said the popularity started from the crowd-gathering effect of cultural and tourism activities including a music festival. Then famous people tasted the barbecue and put their experiences online attracting young people, which led to a wave of students from neighbouring cities visiting Zibo. What better way to lure adventurous and hungry college students other than “tasty barbecue that makes you full within only 50 yuan!” However, Zibo did not fall into the trap (陷阱) of easy fame that dies fast where sellers cheat buyers on price and quality for the most profit (盈利) in the shortest time. A blogger on Douyin took an electronic scale (电子秤) to ten barbecue stands in Ziboto test if he would be offered less food. It turned out that not a single one was caught short of weight and some owners even offered him local snacks for free. Local people’s honest and friendly behaviour touched even more people online and again lifted the city’s popularity.Zibo’s successful story has inspired governments in other parts of the country to find their ways of supporting local businesses.19.What does the underlined word “lure” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Attract.B.Challenge.C.Follow.D.Organize.20.What are the other reasons for Zibo’s popularity besides the crowd-gathering effect?①Famous people’s recommendation.②Barbecue at low prices.③Support from neighbouring cities.④Local people’s kindness.A.①②③B.②③④C.①②④D.①③④21.Where is the passage probably taken from?A.A science fiction.B.A travel guide.C.A food advertisement.D.A news report.06(2023·山东日照·日照市新营中学校考三模)The common problem of myopia (近视) among students has been a big challenge for China to deal with for many years. According to reports, about 35.6 percent of primary school students and nearly 81 percent of senior high school students are nearsighted (近视的) in China.Considering this background, Wantang Primary School in Yunnan province really stands out. This is because none of the students at this school suffer from myopia. Parents, teachers and eye experts began discussing whether the school’s experience can be used to tackle the rising level of myopia across China.Yang Chenhao is a doctor at the Children’s Hospital of Fudan University. He said that while the school is a special case, some of its methods are highly worth learning, such as keeping children away from mobile phones and getting them outdoors more often.Yang Qingyi is a teacher at the school, which has 536 students.

热点01 2阅读理解(新闻报道) 专练(新高考专用)(学生版)

热点01-2阅读理解(新闻报道)-2023年高考英语专练(新高考专用)2022年新高考阅读理解C篇涉及到了新闻体裁。

高考新闻类阅读理解文章的选材、题源、题材范围极为广泛。

选材方面有国际与国内新闻;题源方面:官方用语为英语国家和国内的主流媒体,如报纸、杂志、网站等已经成为新高考高考阅读理解命题文章的主要题源;题材方面则涉及文化、经济、环保、科技、教育、社会、生活等多个领域。

新闻的种类很多,因此写法也多样化:有以说明居多的说明文,有以记叙为主的记叙文等。

由此,我们可以预测2023年新高考高尚若要考新闻体裁阅读理解题的话,应该不外乎以下两种情况:以说明或是记叙文体的形式提供文本。

1.要素:以记叙为主的新闻的六个要素(时间、地点、人物、事件的起因、经过、结果)。

以说明居多的新闻的三个部分(说明的对象、说明的过程和归纳总结)。

2.结构:标题、导语、主体、背景、结语(背景和结语有时则蕴涵在主体里面,有时省略不说)。

为了增加难度或就是要考的考点,高考阅读理解命题时往往把新闻标题删除。

导语一般是文章的第一段、最多前三段,往往会用简明、生动的话语将新闻最具价值的、最新鲜的内容或事实、或者典型的例子放在开头,以引出整个文章的主题。

接下来的主体部分会围绕文章主题展开,进一步解释和深化导语,此部分内容以记叙和说明为主。

最后的结语部分一般会再次总结文章的中心思想,强调主旨,或者是具有启发性的内容,发人深思。

也有的新闻文章没有明显的结语。

3.特点:一个特点是新闻报道强调客观性,作者一般不直接表达自己的观点;另一个特点是引语的使用,包括直接引语和间接引语。

另外新闻体裁的阅读理解考查题型:四种题型(细节理解题、推理判断题、主旨大意题和词义猜测题)都有可能涉及。

浏览文章,判断其体裁是不是新闻类阅读理解题,如果是,需要再读全文,重点“关注”以下三个部分。

一、关注导语部分导语往往包含了新闻最具价值的内容,与整个文章的主题密切相关。

通过阅读导语部分可以更好地把握文章的主题。

该法案旨在改革美国的移民政策,并为非法移民提供合法化途径。

根据新移民法案,非法移民可以申请获得合法身份,条件是他们在美国居住了一定的时间,并且通过背景调查。

此举被认为是一次重大改革,为大批非法移民提供了合法化的机会。

这些灾害不仅造成人员伤亡和财产损失,还直接影响着生态环境的平衡。

为了应对气候变化对经济的威胁,各国政府和国际组织已经采取了一系列措施。

推动清洁能源发展、减少温室气体排放、保护生态环境等举措被认为是应对气候变化的有效途径。

People can often save a lot of money on flights and hotels by going at a different time than others.Last weekend was the beginning of an important holiday period in Germany. People in charge of the schools asked the police to check and make sure that students weren't leaving for vacations before they were allowed to.Police officers at three German airports looked for families with school-aged children.

This was not the 2022 World Cup, but a friendly match between Chinese youth players and Qatari youth players.The match was supported by a famous company. With its help, the 11 Chinese teenagers played matches, watched World Cup matches and participated in more football-related activities in Qatar from Nov. 19 to 23.“Football is the most popular sport in the world. We hope Chinese youth love football and grow up healthily,” said Lu Minfang, chairman of the company.

On January 14th, 2022, an underwater volcano erupted near Tonga.The volcano is located off the coast of Tonga. It first began to erupt on Friday. Even though the volcano was underwater, it sent a column of gas, ash, and stones 20 kilometers into the sky.Saturday’s eruption was far larger. It’s believed to be the largest in over 20 years. The eruption caused a loud “sonic boom”, which could be heard even in Alaska, 10,000 kilometers away. The eruption caused a 5.8 magnitude earthquake, as well as tsunami (海啸) waves that traveled far and wide.In Japan, Chile and Australia, people moved away from low-lying areas along the coast. The waves sunk boats in New Zealand and caused two deaths in Peru.The event knocked out Internet services in the area. Like most island nations, Tonga gets its Internet through a cable that runs deep under the sea. The reports of injuries and deaths in Tonga related to the eruption couldn’t be known in time because of problems with communication.In the following days, the smoke and ash from the volcano covered much of Tonga. ________ That was the biggest danger which might last for a long time.New Zealand and Australia sent teams to Tonga to help out. Some of the teams used airplanes to get a better idea of the damage across the island nation. But at that time, the large cloud of ash high above Tonga was making it impossible to get a good picture of what was happening in the area from high in the air. The United States and the World Health Organization also sent help to Tonga.62.Which is the right order of the following events?a. People in Alaska heard a loud “sonic boom”.。

专题突破卷06阅读理解之新闻报道最新高考真题1.(2024年新高考II卷)Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read?Yes,we all have our phones,but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.Well,there’s a kiosk(小亭)for that.In the San Francisco Bay Area,at least.“You enter the fare gates(检票口)and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute,or a five-minute story,”says Alicia Trost,the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit—known as BART.“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”It’s that simple.Riders have printed nearly20,000short stories and poems since the program was launched last March.Some are classic short stories,and some are new original works.Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders.“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,”Trost says.“And as of right now,we’ve received about 120submissions.The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”Ridership on transit(交通)systems across the country has been down the past half century,so could short stories save transit?Trost thinks so.“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience.So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,”she says.And you’ll never be without something to read.1.Why did BART start the kiosk program?A.To promote the local culture.B.To discourage phone use.C.To meet passengers’needs.D.To reduce its running costs.2.How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?A.By popularity.B.By length.C.By theme.D.By language.3.What has Trost been doing recently?A.Organizing a story contest.B.Doing a survey of customers.C.Choosing a print publisher.D.Conducting interviews with artists.4.What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future?A.It will close down.B.Its profits will decline.C.It will expand nationwide.D.Its ridership will increase.2024年高考模拟真题(2024·辽宁辽阳·模拟预测)Leonardo da Vinci experimented with chemicals while painting some of his representative works—including The Mona Lisa—forming a poisonous layer hidden beneath the celebrated art. Researchers studying a tiny microsample from a corner of the painting found a substance known as plumbonacrite (水白铅矿),a poisonous compound(化合物)formed when oil and lead(Ⅱ)oxide(氧化铅)are mixed together.The Mona Lisa,and many other paintings from the Renaissance era in the early1500s,were painted on wooden panels.These required a thick base layer to enable artists to create their works on top.The most common method was using a substance called gesso,which comes from plaster of Paris,but the presence of plumbonacrite suggests Da Vinci layered his painting with lead white paint,mixed with oil infused(泡)with lead(Ⅱ)oxide.Writing in the Journal of the American Chemical Society,the authors said,“The most remarkable signature in the sample is the presence of plumbonacrite,a rare compound that is stable only in an alkaline(碱性的) environment.Leonardo probably attempted to prepare a thick paint suitable for covering the wooden panel of The Mona Lisa by treating the oil with a high load of lead(Ⅱ)oxide.”It is thought the lead(Ⅱ)oxide may have been used to help the paint applied on top of it to dry.The team reviewed Da Vinci’s writing to find reference to his use of the chemicals,but found only“unclear references”to plumbonacrite.It seems once again the famous scholar was ahead of his time,with the technique only found in other paintings by Rembrandt in e of plumbonacrite at the time seems to have been limited to skin and hair treatment.In addition to The Mona Lisa analysis,the team used high-resolution analytic techniques on17samples from across the surface of The Last Supper and found it also contained the same poisonous base layer. 5.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.A poisonous compound was found in The Mona Lisa.B.Da Vinci created his painting through trial and error.C.Researchers damaged the famous painting while studying it.D.Da Vinci buried some poison under the painting to protect it.6.What did Da Vinci possibly do while painting?A.He used lead to decorate the painting.B.He applied oil to cover the wooden panel.C.He treated skin and hair with plumbonacrite.D.He mixed oil and lead together to create a thick paint.7.Why did the author mention The Last Supper?A.To support the finding above.B.To show how talented Da Vinci is.C.To explain the process of artwork creation.D.To stress the importance of analytical techniques.8.What is the best title for the text?A.Mona Lisa,a Mysterious WomanB.Poisonous Chemicals Help Create ArtworksC.Da Vinci,a Distinguished Painter as Well as a ChemistD.The Mona Lisa Reveals a Poisonous Secret Hidden in the Painting(2024·安徽马鞍山·三模)About one in four Americans are physically inactive,according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.But for many of us,physical inactivity is not an intentional choice.It stems from sitting all day at a desk job,driving to work because there are no suitable walking or cycling routes. But what if the infrastructure(基础设施)around you gave you the opportunity to move your body without taking extra time out of your day?“An active city would offer you loads of ways to get from A to B,”said Anna Boldina,an architectural researcher and designer who studies active cities at the University of Cambridge in the U.K.“Not only would these active cities be full of variety,but the various elements of an active city also have their own specific benefits: for example,stepping stones improve balanced co-activation of a variety of upper and lower body muscles as well as mindfulness and concentration on’here and now,’known as a stress relief.”This all sounds great for future city design and planning,but how can we integrate these feature s into existing city infrastructure?“The best way to transform a place into an active city is through small interventions here and there:an extra stepping stone shortcut across the grass or extra log across the rain garden,”Boldina said.“Sometimes it is not about adding;it is about removing.It is also important that these routes are accessible to people of all ages and abilities.”Of course,if there are always less challenging alternatives available,how can we encourage those who are able to take the more physically active routes?“One of our studies was aimed specifically at encouragement,”Boldina said.The study found that the most effective means of encouragement was providing a shortcut.“Other factors included playfulness,crossing water,using natural materials and adding handrails for confidence,”added Boldina,whose group is currently working with architects in Cambridge to create such active landscapes. 9.Which of the following best explains“stems from”underlined in paragraph1?A.Relies on.B.Is caused by.C.Mixes with.D.Is changed into.10.What can we learn about active cities?A.They contribute to better health.B.They offer personalized activities.C.They rely on governmental support.D.They generally look like

use.D.Designing as many routes as possible.12.What does Boldina’s study try to find?A.How to motivate citizens to use active routes.B.How to make active routes functional and fun.C.Why citizens have little interest in active routes.D.Why Cambridge can succeed,in adopting active routcs.(2024·黑龙江·二模)A Virginia family whose home was destroyed by a fire last week recently received the gift of some

July11,2021as he and three other crewmates became the world’s first space tourists.The flight was made by a spacecraft named VSS Unity that was built by Branson’s company,Virgin Galactic.The flight lasted slightly more than an hour,and took Branson and crew to an altitude(海拔)of53.5miles above the Earth,just a little above the boundary(边界)of space which lies50miles above the Earth.At that height,the atmosphere turns into the black of outer space and the Earth becomes a bent ball of blue. Travelers also exhibit weightlessness as there is no gravity,the force that keeps our bodies walking on the Earth’s surface.Therefore,Branson and his fellows were able to float around in VSS Unity while enjoying the views. They were able to do that for three minutes before the spacecraft began its downward journey.It landed back at Virgin Galactic’s space port in New Mexico,United States,which is the same place from where it had taken off90 minutes before.On landing back,Branson said,“I have dreamt of this moment since I was a kid but honestly,nothing couldprepare you for the view of the Earth from space.It was just magical.I’m just taking it all in,and it’s unreal.”July11’s flight is the start of space tourism for one and all.In early2022,customers who can afford a ticket for a quarter of a million dollars

the Day for December25,2023.The photo was taken by Valerio,a young photographer of Turin,Italy.It was shot on the evening of December15,2023.While he knew about NASA’s competition,he hadn’t considered participating until receiving much encouragement from his social media followers.Soon after,he received the message,“Your image has been chosen as the astronomical photo of the day.”It was incredible!In a photo like this,nothing is left to luck.The concept came to him back in2017.Walking on the hills north of Turin,he found several spots perfect for including both the Basilica of Superga Palace and Mountain Monviso.After numerous visits over several months,he identified four spots where Superga and Monviso line up just right.After pinpointing these locations,he experimented with shooting them at different times.“I knew I needed something special to perfect the photo.The Sun was a no-go,so I turned to the Moon.Its various phases and position s reach an azimuth angle(方位角)of230degrees,”Valerio said.With this in mind,he researched the Moon’s phases,marked potential dates on the calendar,and planned the exact moments when the moon could join the queue.It was very successful,especially because the Moon was in a waxing phase.This meant that in the photo, not only was its crescent(新月)lit up,but so was the left part,its shadowed side.That part is lit by reflected light, also known as Da Vinci’s glow,named after him because he was the one who theorized about why the Moon’s shadowed side is brightened.During the early days of the waxing Moon phases,the shadowed part is visible because the Sun’s light reflects off the Earth and hits the Moon’s shadowed side,giving it a greyish,silvery color.

One cause,some researchers say,is a2014law that aimed to stimulate research by rewarding researchers who boost their publishing output.For example,under a scoring system used by universities,researchers can earn five points for authorship in a high-impact journal,and two points when the journal is lower impact.A massing points can bring bonus payments and career promotion.Signs of dishonest publishing can be obvious,notes Nahuel Monteblanco,president of Cientificos.pe,a Peruvian group that investigates misconduct.Many of the papers cited by Punto Final have numerous co-authors from different nations with few prior publications on the same subject.“If your colleague consistently publishes 20articles a year with co-authors from other countries,that’s highly suspect,”Monteblanco says.29.What action did Peru take recently to address academic cheating?A.Fining72offenders for academic dishonesty.B.Disqualifying2scientists from a national registry.C.Punishing170researchers for academic misconduct.D.Withdrawing government fund from14universities.30.Which of the following is closest in meaning to“transcend”in paragraph3?A.Change.B.Strengthen.C.Go beyond.D.Approve of.31.What do we know about the2014law in Peru?A.It advocated a fair scoring system.B.It applied to high-impact journals.C.It led to an increase in false authorship.D.It aimed to punish dishonest publishing.32.The most suspicion might be given to a productive researcher with_________.A.career promotion B.consistent research focusC.few citations by Punto Final D.co-authors from various countries(2024·云南·二模)A six-month-old corgi being trained to become the first of his breed to work as a police dog in China,made his first public appearance recently at the open day of a police camp in Weifang,Shandong Province.His appearance challenges the stereotype(固有模式)that“little short legs”cannot join the police force.Fu Zai,whose name means“Lucky Boy”,has made waves on social media with his iconic smile,short legs and wagging tail.As a reserve police dog,Fu Zai faces a heavy workload.Training,scheduled for every morning and afternoon,involves a variety of subjects,such as obedience exercises,bomb searches and scent(气味)tracking.

"Can you imagine?" Diébédo Francis Kéré said to NPR, "I was born in Burkina Faso, a little village where there was no school. And my father wanted me to learn how to read and write very simply because then I could translate or read him his letters."The first Black winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize was as surprised as anyone else to be selected for the field's most famous prize. Many architects had openly supposed that 2022 would be Sir David Adjaye's year, who is best known for designing notable buildings as the Nobel Peace Center in Norway.Kéré, who is based in Berlin but centers much of his practice in Africa, has been—until now—far lesser known, with buildings that include primary schools and a healthcare clinic.When he was twenty, in 1985, Kéré earned a scholarship to study carpentry in Berlin. But he also attended night school and was admitted to Technische Universität Berlin, from which he graduated in 2004 with an advanced degree in architecture. He was still a student when he designed and built the innovative Gando Primary School.Kéré's architectural practice was inspired by his own experience attending school with around 100 other children in a region with temperatures over 100 F. "It's very hot inside. And there was no light, while outside, the sunlight was abundant. I think, one day I should make it better. I was thinking about space, about room, about how I could feel better." In his designs for Gando Primary School and Naaba Belem Goumma Secondary School, Kéré drew on traditional building materials such as local clay mixed with concrete, and emphasized shade and shadows, making spaces bright enough and letting air in, and thus reducing the need for air conditioning. He wanted the buildings to evoke the sense of an oasis (绿洲), a place for many children, to be happy and learn how to read and write.1.(2分)Why did the Pritzker Architecture Prize of 2022 come out as a surprise?A.Because it is the most famous prize.B.Because the winner only designs schools.C.Because another competitor was more famous.D.Because Kéré wasn't first selected as a candidate.2.(2分)What inspired Kéré's architecture work?A.His academic training in Berlin.B.Hardship in his early childhood.C.An architectural contest.D.His experience traveling abroad.3.(2分)Which of the following best describes Kéré as an architect?A.Creative and universal.B.Caring and practical.C.Determined and ambitious.D.Devoted and productive.4.(2分)What can be inferred about the schools designed by Kéré?A.They only use traditional materials.B.They need no air-conditioning.C.They are well-lit and cool.D.They are built on oases.阅读理解Nobody knows the value of a good doll better than Jandrisevits. "Dolls have a power we don't completely understand," she said. It's a conclusion she came to while working as a social worker using dolls to help her young clients adapt to their changing medical situations. Many of the kids saw themselves in those dolls. But for the kids missing a limb or who had lost their hair, there were none they could relate to.So, seven years ago, when a friend revealed that her child was stuck in self-doubt and self-distrust, Jandrisevits, now 49, knew what might help the youth through this potentially challenging period. "It's hard to tell a kid, 'You are perfect the way you are, ' and to build self-esteem (自尊) that way, but never offer them anything that looks like them, "she says.Jandrisevits went about changing that. She crafted a doll by hand — using fabric, stitching, and markers — that resembled (像) her friend's child and sent it off. After the friend posted a photo online of the happy child and doll, another woman asked Jandrisevits to make a doll that looked like her baby, who was missing a leg.Word spread, and soon Jandrisevits was making dolls for children with scars, birthmarks, facial deformities(畸形), — in short, a doll that looked like them. She quit her job and started a nonprofit, A Doll Like Me.Working out of her home in Milwaukee, from photos sent by parents or caregivers, it takes Jandrisevits roughly three days to craft only one doll. A GoFundMe page helps her cover costs and allows her to donate her services. She hasn't charged for a doll since she began her nonprofit.In all, she's made more than 400 dolls. The waiting list is long, but Jandriscvits will never give up. As she explains on her GoFundMe page, "Every kid, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, medical issue, or bodytype, should look into the sweet face of a doll and see their own."5.(2分)What made Jandrisevits realize the value of dolls?A.The influence of dolls on her.B.Her working experience.C.The changing medical situations.D.Her relation to the unlucky kids.6.(2分)What does the underlined word ―that‖ refer to in paragraph 3?A.Children's concern about their looks.B.The problems faced by the child of a friend.C.The challenging period the youth are going through.D.The fact that words alone fail to help build self-esteem.7.(2分)What can be inferred about Jandrisevits' making dolls?A.It targets children with mental problems.B.It is time-consuming but meaningful.C.It is thought poorly of by people.D.It brings in a good fortune.8.(2分)Which of the following best describes Jandrisevits?A.Creative and caring.B.Ambitious and devoted.C.Considerate and sensitive.D.Knowledgeable and generous.阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

阅读理解:新闻报道Spelling BeeScientists in Germany say they have used new technology to create see-through human organs (器官). They say the technology could lead to production of three-dimensional (3D) body parts for use in transplant (移植) operations.The scientists are with Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich. They said they developed a process that uses a substance to make see- through organs, such as the brain and kidneys. The German researchers use lasers (激光) to obtain a picture of the organ to be replaced. The laser light helps them see every single cell inside the blood vessels (血管中的细胞).The researchers use this information to print out the structure of the whole organ. For this, they need special equipment. They use a 3D printer to produce the structure--one that has height, width and length.The researchers then load the printer with stem cells, which can become any kind of cell in the body. The stem cells act as “ink” in the printer. They are put into the correct position, making the organ fully operational.The leader of the study, Ali Erturk, described the new technology as a major development for 3D printing in the medical field.” Previously 3D-printed organs lacked detailed cellular structures because they were based on pictures from computer tomography or MRI machines,” he explained.“We can see where every single cell is, and we can actually replicate it exactly the same,” Erturk said. “I believe we are much closer to a real human organ for the first time now,” he added. Erturk and his team plan to start by creating bioprinted organs. They hope to develop a human kidney within 5-6 years. The researchers will first test to see if animals can live with bioprinted organs and could start tests within five to ten years, he predicted.1.Why do the scientists need to obtain an image of the organ to be replaced?A.To copy a new one.B.To cure some diseases.C.To observe cells in it.D.To study its structure.2.What is the function of stem cells in making human organs?A.Matching the special equipment.B.Connecting the organs to the body.C.Improving the quality of man-made organs.D.Filling the structures to let the organs work. 3.What was Erturk’s attitude to the new technology of creating organs?A.He threw doubt on it.B.He sang high praise for it.C.He didn’t think much of it.D.He expressed concern about it.4.What does the underlined word “replicate” in the last paragraph mean?A.Study.B.Copy.C.Replace.D.Remove.Six “sacrificial pits(祭祀坑)”, dating back 3,200 to 4,000 yeas, were newly discovered in Sanxingdui Ruins site in Guanghan. Over 500 artifacts, including gold masks, bronze wares, ivories, jades and textiles were unearthed from the site. Sanxingdui site is located in Sanxingdui Town, Guanghan City, Sichuan Province, on the south bank of Qianjiang River (Yangtze River), a tributary of Tuojiang River in the north of Chengdu Plain. The site covers an area of about 12 square kilometers, and the core area is the ancient city of Sanxingdui, with an area of about 3.6 square kilometers. It is the largest and highest-grade central site found in Sichuan Basin during the Xia and Shang period.Sanxingdui site, first found in 1929, is generally considered as one of the most important archaeological sites along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. However, the work of excavation on the site only began in 1986, when two pits — widely believed for sacrificial ceremonies — were accidentally discovered.Investigation in the area around No.1 and 2 pits was relaunched in October 2019, and No.3 pit was found in December 2019, according to Lei Yu, a researcher of Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Institute who heads the ongoing excavation. Thirty four research universities and research institutes have cooperated in this project. He said the new discoveries will help to better understand many unexplained findings in 1986.More excavation followed in March 2020, and five more pits were found last year. And detailed research began in October. Excavation capsules with hi-tech equipment were set up in the pits in order to prevent the site from further damage.According to the National Cultural Heritage Administration, studies of Sanxingdui site will become a crucial project in an ongoing program Archaeology China, which tries to explain the origins of Chinese civilization and how diverse cultures communicate and come together. 5.What does the underlined word “excavation” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Check.B.Dig.C.Protection.D.Extension. 6.How did archaeologists protect the Sanxingdui site?A.By conducting more experiments around the site.B.By dividing the task of excavation into several parts.C.By cooperating with research universities and institutes.D.By using excavation capsule armed with hi-tech equipment.7.What can we infer about the pits from the text?A.There are 6 sacrificial pits discovered in Sanxingdui site in all.B.The size of the core zone is about 1/3 of Sanxingdui site.C.The discovery of Sanxingdui site only began in 2019.D.All sacrificial sites were discovered in the meantime.8.What is the text mainly about?A.Sanxingdui site needed protecting.B.Hi-tech helped to explore Sanxingdui site.C.Sanxingdui discoveries reveal ancient China.D.Sacrificial pits were unearthed in Sanxingdui site.It is common to see most livestreamers sitting in front of a desk in a well-decorated room. But Zeng Qinghuan, a 30-year-old from Xinhua County in Loudi, Hunan, has turned her whole village into a livestreaming set. Her goal is to use e-commerce to help her people live a better life.Known as “Xiangmei Xinbao” on Douyin, Zeng now has more than 3 million followers. One of her videos about traditional ways of planting and harvesting rice has attracted more than 300, 000 followers.Zeng used to study fashion design and has worked in some big cities before. In 2019 she returned to her village to care for her sick grandmother. She then found that she could build a career there -by being a livestreamer with the help of her cousin.At the beginning, she didn’t make any money. Zeng’s parents didn’t give her any support until she could stand on her own feet and help people sell their products. She has now sold local agricultural products worth tens of millions of yuan, like fermented tofu, preserved pork and dried sweet potatoes.“I’m a daughter of the great mountains. I can also be a contributor to rural development inthis new times,” she said.Rural revitalization (振兴) is a key part of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25). Zeng hopes her experience can encourage more young people to return to their rural hometowns and start their own businesses. In 2021, after she became a deputy (代表) of the Loudi Municipal People’s Congress, she put forward a proposal to ensure that “each village has one product and one livestreaming host of its own”, She plans to help cultivate 100 social media influencers from her county within three years, and two villages have taken part in the project. “I believe that the rural areas will become a big stage, and being a farmer will be seen is a respectable job too,” said Zeng. 9.What does Zeng mainly introduce on Douyin?A.Fashion trends in her village.B.The education in her hometown.

Shackleton hoped to become the first to cross Antarctica. But in 1915, the Endurance became trapped in the thick ice over the Weddell Sea. The ice broke the Enduranceand later sank it. Then the ship’s captain kept accurate records of the ship’s position, and the ship’s photographer even took pictures of it as it went down. But the ship, deep in the icy waters near Antarctica, had never been found.On Wednesday, a search team called “Endurance 22” announced it had located the ship. The Endurance was found 3 kilometers below the ocean’s surface, about 6 kilometers south of its last known position. According to the Endurance 22 team’s report, the name can be clearly read on the back of the ship, and its wheel looks ready to be turned.Though the ship is made of wood, it has survived with little damage. Scientists say that the small organisms(微生物) that normally break down wooden objects underwater don’t live in the cold waters around Antarctica.The team ran the project from an ice-breaking ship. To locate the Endurance, the team used two underwater robots called Sabertooths. The robots could travel by themselves under the ice and go where the ship could not. For the last two weeks, the Sabertooth robots have been searching the sea floor in a 390-square kilometer area.The robots were looking for anything above the sea floor. Last Saturday, the ship was found. Once the ship was located, the Sabertooths used high-quality cameras to record the Endurance in detail. Antarctica’s waters are protected by an international agreement, which means the ship can’t be disturbed. So the Endurance 22 team plans to create a digital 3D model of the wreck(失事) site. This will allow scientists to study the ship in detail without disturbing it.14.Why did the Endurance 22 team know the ship5s possible position?A.They had first-class robots.B.The captain kept a good record.C.Polar explorers recalled the details.D.The icy waters of the ship have changed. 15.What is the Endurance found to be like?A.It is in excellent shape.B.It is trapped in hard ice.C.It is in poor condition.D.It has gone beyond recognition.16.What plays the most important role in finding the Endurance?A.Luck.B.Patience.C.Weather.D.Technology. 17.What is the best title for the text?A.“Endurance 22” Announced a Great DiscoveryB.A Polar Explorers’ Ship Found After Over 100 YearsC.Untold Finding of Antarctic Explorer Ernest ShackletonD.New Results of the Sabertooth Robots’ Underwater SearchA few years ago, Adina Lichtman was handing out sandwiches on the streets of New York City to help people experiencing homelessness. One man, grateful for the sandwich, approached her and offered a surprising idea.“It’s great that you’re giving out sandwiches,” he said, “but one thing we really need is socks, especially as winter approaches.”“Here I was, sandwiches in hand, thinking I knew the best way to help people,” Lichtman said. “It was a powerful lesson, and I wanted to put it into action.”She began that night, with a simple step: going door-to-door on the floor of her dormitory (宿舍) at New York University, asking her classmates if they could each just donate (捐赠) just one pair of their own socks to someone experiencing homelessness. She got 40 pairs of socks in a single night, from a single floor. The next morning she opened her door to find a lot of socks that other people had donated.That morning officially kicked off Knock Knock, Give a Sock (KKGS), a new nonprofit (非营利的) organization that has now provided over 350,000 pairs of socks to the homeless across America. To date, over 50 colleges and high schools across the US have joined KKGS over the years.“While many people donate clothing, 9 out of every 10 clothing donors have never donated socks. On top of that, people who are trying to donate socks often find it difficult to donate used socks,” she says. “KKGS is one of the only organizations that collects used socks. We have volunteers knocking on doors of their classmates in school, of their workmates at work, and even of their neighbors.”But, whether you’re 26 or 62, you don’t need to wait to organize your own sock drive, collect socks, or even wash and clean some of your own to donate to your local shelter (收容所), or someone in need who you meet on the street.18.How did the homeless man’s words affect Lichtman?A.They caused her to start KKGS.B.They pushed her to go to college.C.They encouraged her to house the homeless.D.They made her continue to give out sandwiches.19.How did Lichtman’s classmates react to her request for donation?A.Some refused it politely.B.They strongly supported it.C.Some felt quite surprised by it.D.They considered it unreasonable.20.In what way is KKGS special?A.It has earned a lot of money from students.B.It employs college students as volunteers. C.It provides socks for those in need.D.It was set up by the government. 21.What advice does the author offer to people?A.Take action in small ways.B.Start your own organization.C.Make donations from an early age.D.Find creative ways to help people.Carleen Hutchins finished building her first stringed instrument (弦乐器) in 1949, when she was 38. She is remembered as an excellent luthier. A luthier is a person who makes stringed instruments, such as violins and guitars.Hutchins was a primary school science teacher. She took up the viola (中提琴) at 36. But she wasn’t satisfied with the viola she bought. Since she was a skilled woodworker, she decided to build one herself.For more than 50 years, she carved (雕刻) stringed instruments. Hutchins worked from her home — often in her kitchen. She used a scientific method to carve them. Over the years, she made around 500 instruments. Her method is still used. It helps luthiers carve high-quality stringed instruments.Hutchins also created a family of eight violins known as the violin octet. They change in size and tone (音调). “It’s how the instrument is carved that makes it a violin,” Joe McNalley says. He is the founder of the Hutchins Consort, a group that plays the octet.The four instruments in the string family are violin, viola, cello, and bass. They cannot play the lowest or highest notes of the piano. They play the notes in between. Hutchins created a family of eight violins that play all the notes a piano plays.D.Quincy Whitney has written a book about Hutchins. “For centuries, musicians had talked about creating a family of violins that had a total string sound as wide as a piano,” she said.Hutchins was an artist and a scientist. A big part of her dream was to create top-quality instruments that were affordable. “Her story is about how one person can not only make adifference,” says Whitney, “but can change a whole world.”22.Why did Hutchins start to make stringed instruments?A.She hoped to create a better viola.B.She was not satisfied with her career.C.She expected to be a skilled woodworker.D.She wanted to teach her students about music.23.What do we know about Hutchins?A.She headed the Hutchins Consort.B.She is very good at playing the octet.C.She learned a simple method to make instruments.D.She is a pioneer in the design of stringed instruments.24.Different from the traditional violin family, the violin octet _____.A.is easier to make B.has the same sizeC.produces richer sounds D.is less enjoyed by musicians25.What is Whitney’s attitude to Hutchins?A.Respectful.B.Concerned.C.Doubtful.D.Worried.Just a few days after Valentine’s Day, Tinder and the French NGO A voté made their cooperation official, “to match Generation Z with voting”. The partnership kicked off on Thursday and will run through April 8 – two days before the first round of France’s presidential elections – and has one goal: to get more French youths to cast their votes. The slogan is catchy too: “If you can date down your street … You can vote down your street.”In practice this means that, from now on, French Tinder users will see election ads pop up as they swipe the app to look out for potential love interests.A recent survey showed that 59 percent of French 18- to 30-year-olds who are already registered to vote plan to abstain(弃权) in the first round of the elections. Seeing that 50 percent of Tinder’s users belong to this very age group, “this partnership represents a great opportunity to raise awareness as much as possible,” co-president of A voté Flore Blondel-Goupil said.One of the main reasons for France’s high youth abstention rates, however, is not a lack of interest but rather outdated or incorrect paperwork. A registration is invalid when a voter'spolling station does not correspondent with their actual place of residence. This is a particularly common problem for young people, who often leave their parents’ homes to pursue studies elsewhere.Studies show that having an incorrect voting registration address triples the risk of abstention. In 2017, 7.6 million French people were incorrectly registered, with 25- to29-year-olds accounting for 51 percent of them. Adding to that, between 3 and 4 million French people were not registered to vote at all.This is not the first time Tinder has helped countries fight voter abstention: It did so in Brazil in 2018, the United Kingdom in 2019, the United States in 2020 and Germany in 2021. 26.Why did Tinder cooperate with the French NGO A voté?A.To make their cooperation official.B.To attract more young people to vote. C.To make it more popular.D.To help people date down the street. 27.What is Flore Blondel-Goupil’s attitude to the partnership?A.Doubtful.B.Unclear.C.Favorable.D.Intolerant. 28.What does the underlined word “triple” in paragraph 5 mean?A.Increase.B.Reduce.C.Replace.D.Challenge. 29.What can we infer from the text?A.Tinder is a popular APP for voting.B.Young people’s polling station is not necessarily where they live.C.In 2017, 51 percent of French people were not registered to vote at all.D.A lack of interest resulted in the France’s high youth abstention rates.PORTLAND, Maine — The number of whales entangled (缠住) in fishing gears (装备) has declined recently, but the entanglements remain a critical threat to rare species, the federal government said in a report released Tuesday.There were 60 confirmed cases of large whales entangled in gear in the U.S. in 2020, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Tuesday. That was a 25% decline from the previous year and a lower figure than the 13-year average.Every coastal region except Alaska saw a decrease in whale entanglements, NOAA said. It will take more research to determine the cause of the decline in entanglements, and it’s possible that the COVID-19 pandemic’s disruption of both fishing activities and data reporting could haveplayed a role. It’s also possible that factors unrelated to the pandemic could have played a role, as some regions have reported large-scale environmental changes, like marine heat waves, which may also be affecting large whale entanglement rates and reporting.More than half the entangled whales were humpback whales, which are popular with whale watchers and have a relatively stable worldwide population. However, four of the whales were North Atlantic right whales, which have a population decline due to recent years of high death rate and poor reproduction. The right whales give birth off Florida and Georgia and migrate north to the waters off New England and Canada to feed. Scientists and conservationists have sounded alarms in recent years that warming waters seem to be causing the whales to swim away from protected areas of ocean in search of food.“The current level of entanglements is more than whales can stand”, said Kristen, an agent of a conservation group. The group and others have pushed for tighter restrictions on commercial fishing to prevent the whales from entanglement. These reports show far too many endangered whales are caught in fishing gear, particularly because reported entanglements are just the tip of an iceberg,” Kristen said.30.How many confirmed cases of large whales entangled in gear in the U. S. were there in 2019? A.48.B.64.C.80.D.96.31.What caused the population decrease of the North Atlantic right whales?A.Many can’t survive or have young.B.More than half of them were entangled.C.COVID-19 pandemic affected their life.D.Heat waves makes them lacking in food.32.What is the passage mainly about?A.Why stricter laws should be banned.B.Why less whales have been entangled.C.What people have done to help whales.D.How we can help to increase whale numbers.33.What is Kristen’s attitude towards whale entanglement?A.Confused.B.Frightened.C.Concerned.D.Tired.A record of 6.15 million trips was made by Chinese mainland tourists to overseas destinations during the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, which ended on Sunday, according to the China National Tourism Administration (CNTA). That is an increase of 7 percent compared with the last year’s Spring Festival. About 374, 000 trips were organized by travel agencies, a 2.5 percent increase.The CNTA also reported growth from individual and high-end(高端的) travelers and said that in addition to top and coastal cities, inland cities such as those in Guangxi — became important source markets. With many Chinese now traveling abroad during the Spring Festival, their choice of destinations has expanded along with their growing interest in foreign cultures and services.“Chinese tourists are increasingly willing to experience local cultures and services, including staying in private homes, appreciating plants and watching monkeys,” Li Xuejing, an agency’s marketing manager, said.Miss Guo, a Chinese tourist, who was vacationing on an island in Philippines, said, “I now pay more attention to relaxation and enjoyment during the holidays instead of shopping or choosing gifts for relatives.”Another choice is Britain. Though the devaluation(货币贬值) of the pound is a factor, Britain’s rich history and famous education tradition have caught the eye of Chinese.34.How many trips were made to foreign countries during the seven-day Spring Festival holiday? A.6,150,000.B.2,500,000.C.7,000,000.D.374,000. 35.What can we learn about some inland cities in Guangxi?A.They’re reported to have become important tourist attractions.B.They’re famous for all kinds of plants and monkeys.C.They have many hot springs.D.They have become important source markets.36.What will Miss Guo do on her vacation according to the text?A.Go shopping for gifts.B.Study foreign cultures.C.Relax and enjoy herself.D.Chat with her relatives.37.Where does the text probably come from?A.A guide book.B.A newspaper.C.A science magazine.D.An advertisement.参考答案1.C2.D3.B4.B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要介绍了德国科学家3D打印透明人体器官,这项新技术是巨大的突破。

2023届高考英语阅读理解专练(5)新闻报道类

(5)新闻报道类一、Big changes in agriculture are taking place in Singapore. The small, Southeast Asian nation is leading a farming revolution.Singapore covers 724 square kilometers of land and only one percent of that land is used for agriculture. Food production costs are higher there than the rest of Southeast Asia. As climate change and population growth threaten food supplies, the pressure is on new farmers to answer the government’s call—to grow more with less. “Whenever I talk about food security in Singapore, I tell people not to think land-think space because you can go upwards and sideways.” said Paul Teng, an agriculture professor at Nanyang Technological University.There are more than 30 vertical(垂直的) farms in Singapore-ones that grow up not across the land. Sustenir Agriculture is one of these businesses. Its hydroponic(水栽法的) farm grows non-native foods like cherry, tomatoes and strawberries inside buildings under artificial lighting. Then it sells the produce to local supermarkets and online stores. Sustenir raised $16 million from investors(投资人) ast year. The money will be used to expand operations in Singapore and open in Hong Kong.However, not everyone thinks the new technology is best. Egg farmer Milliam Ho says the government should not depend so much on agriculture technology businesses. “Many of them have failed. That’s why I’m always asking the government, ‘W hydon`t you invest in us old-timers?’ We are more practical,” he said. Professor Paul Teng said an issue for urban farmers is that the high cost of the technology makes their products too pricey for many people.1.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.High food production costs.B.Reasons for changes in agriculture.C.Agricultural technology businesses.D.Sale expansion of food markets.2.According to Paul Teng, the way to achieve food security isA.expanding farmland upwardsB.buying more foodC.developing facilitiesD.investing more money3.What do we know about the old-timers?A.They work on high-tech farms.B.They benefit from pricey products.C.They need government’s support.D.They reduce production costs.4.What is the author’s purpose of writ ing this passage?A.To criticize people’s traditional view of farming.B.To support the growth of vertical farming in Singapore.C.To introduce the latest development in Singapore’s agriculture.D.To emphasize the importance of traditional agriculture.二、A growing number of Americans are turning gas-powered vehicles into electric ones by using a process called an electric power train conversion. Such conversions are becoming more popular as battery technology gets better and the world turns toward cleaner energy sources.Kevin Erickson owns a 1972 Plymouth Satellite that he renamed “Electrollite” after conversion. Now, the car can go from a still position to 97 kilometers per hour in about three seconds. Its top speed is almost 250 kilometers per hour.Jonathan Klinger is vice president of car culture for Hagerty Insurance. He said converting classic cars into EVs is "definitely a trend", although research on the activity is limited. In May, the Michigan-based company did a web-based study of about 25,000automobile lovers. The top three reasons for converting the vehicles were for better performance, for a fun project, and because of environmental concerns. He doesn't think electric motors will replace all gas engines. Some car lovers want to keep the sound of older cars' original engines. Electric conversions require special knowledge to complete. They also involve many difficulties like safety concerns. And then there is the price.Sean Moudry, who co-owns Inspire EV, a small conversion business near Denver, recently worked on a 1965 Ford Mustang. The year-and-a-half-long project cost more than $100,000. Moudry and his partners replaced the gas engine with a motor from a crashed Tesla Model S. He says many people don't have the resources necessary to carry out this kind of project. As a result, he says, it will take 20 years for electric conversions to become common.But that reality could be coming sooner than expected, says Mike Spagnola, president and CEO of the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), a trade group. He said that electric vehicle products took about 1950 square meters of marketing space at SEMA's yearly show in Las Vegas this fall. That was up from only 232 square meters at the 2021 show. I'm John Russell.5.In which aspect do electric vehicles benefit from the conversion?A.Performing better.B.Cleaning energy sources.C.Maintaining speed.D.Bettering battery technology.6.How many factors contribute to gas-powered vehicles not being replaced according toKlinger?A.3.B.4.C.5.D.6.7.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Selling an old car.B. Buying a gas-powered vehicle.C.Doing a web-based study.D. Converting a car to an electric one.8.What can we know about the writer of the passage?A. He loves classic cars.B.He repairs old cars.C.He is probably a broadcaster.D. He is good at engineering.三、Almost all calligraphy (书法) lovers agree that writing characters with a brush and ink on straw paper offers a way to communicate with not only history and culture, but also oneself. But now Chinese character handwriting is under threat from computers and mobile phones.A college graduate looking for a job was reportedly turned down by a company because he wrote 24 characters incorrectly in a 400-character handwritten resume. A survey by HorizonKey, covering people from 12 major cities in China, found that nearly one third of those interviewed often experience "character amnesia (遗忘)", with 94 percent saying this is a problem for them.The main reason is that most Chinese rely too much on the pinyin-based Chinese language input method which is replacing the tradition of writing characters stroke (笔划) by stroke. The software will conveniently choose the right characters according to the context or word frequency, as there are dozens of characters with the same pronunciation in Chinese.Education is another problem. In college, most homework and papers are printed out, instead of handwritten. And few teachers use chalk and blackboards, with Microsoft’s PowerPoint the most-often used software to teach knowledge to students. The number of electronic devices in the classroom is thought to be another reason why students are easily satisfied with just a poor knowledge of the Chinese language and characters. It is quicker to look up a character in an electronic dictionary, buttraditional printed dictionaries offer more detailed information on the usage and meaning of the characters. Students pay more attention to remembering a character's pronunciation, but not the other knowledge related to it, which e-dictionaries rarely provide.Another worry is the “pollution” of Chinese characters by Internet language. Young people regard using Internet language as cool and fashionable. After they learn to use these expressions, they automatically include them in their writing.9.With the example of a college graduate, the author shows _____.A. that practicing can improve writingB. why certain people are poor writersC. that there are differences in students’ writingD. why Chinese character handwriting is in great danger10.By saying “...those interviewed often experience character amnesia (遗忘)”, the writer means those interviewed _____.A. are not good at handwritingB. can’t write characters accuratelyC. show no interest in handwritingD. find jobs much more difficultly11.What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 5?A. Dependence on electronic devices.B. Advantages of electronic dictionaries.C. Mastery of knowledge of the characters.D. Disadvantages of published dictionaries.12.What’s the writer’s attitude towards the Internet language?A. Favorable.B. Uncaring.C. Disapproving.D. Friendly.四、Livestock (牲畜) farmers are being unfairly described as evil and dangerous by vegans (纯素食者) and environmental advocates, experts from the University of Edinburgh and Scotland’s Rural College told their peers at a seminar in London, the Telegraph reports. The shocking view comes despite the urging of many climate scientists who say eating a plant-based diet is one of the best ways to reduce our current environmental crisis.According to the Scottish scientists, it is not right to blame global warming on meat production—in fact, livestock farmers are producing cattle that are less harmful to the environment. Also, they argue, thanks to high protein, meat has a really importanteffect on the development of children worldwide, and fewer livestock farms wo uldn’t necessarily mean more sustainable land use.“Often the argument is made that going vegan would minimize land use, and the modeling studies that have been done show that that’s not the case,” said Geoff Simm, director of Global Academy Agricultu re and Food Security at Edinburgh. “We feel that while livestock production has a range of economic, social and environmental costs and benefits, the costs have perhaps been receiving far more attention recently than some of the benefits.”Mike Coffey of Rural College slammed veganism as “completely unnecessary”. “If everybody went vegan, it would be damaging to the UK environment,” he said. “Animals kept for food help increase biodiversity.” Edinburgh University professor Andrea Wilson added that the environmental impact of veganism has not been examined to the same degree. “We know a lot about the livestock sector (行业) because people have looked at it. We actually know very little about the vegan sector,” she said.13.The environmental advocates think the livestock farmers _____.A. are treated unfairly by vegansB. are to blame for global warmingC. can help improve the environmentD. can offer plant-based diets for vegans14.What do Scottish scientists think of livestock production?A. Its use of land should be reduced.B. It causes greater damage to the environment.C. The nutrients provided can benefit children’s growth.D. The costs of livestock production are greater than benefits.15.The underlined word “slammed” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “_____”.A. recognizedB. criticizedC. struckD. described16.What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Veganism is becoming a major trend.B. Going vegan won’t save the environment.C. Where the livestock farming is leading us.D. How we can solve the environmental crisis.五、Blue and green honey may look cool, but beekeepers in northeastern France are not happy about their strange-looking new product.Over the past few months, beekeepers in Ribeauville, a town located in the Alsace region, have noticed that bees there have been making honey in many strange colors. Bees have been returning to apiaries (蜂房) with different colors coating their bodies. The colors then end up polluting the honey.A recent research showed that a nearby M&M’s factory is behind the change in color. Waste from the factory has been exposing the bees to a number of chemicals. Some of the chemicals are used in the outer shells of the candies, which come in many bright colors.The local beekeepers do not know if the polluted honey is dangerous to eat, but they are not taking any chances. They are throwing away the candy-colored honey, which means a big loss to local businesses. “For me, it’s not honey,” Alain Frieh, leader of the town’s beekeepers union, tells the Reuters news agency. “It’s not sellable.”The honey industry in this part of France has been suffering this year. According to Frieh, many bees died last winter or were unable to make honey because of the bad weather. This new problem of colored honey is hurting the beekeepers’ way of life even more.The region is home to about 2,400 beekeepers and 35,000 colonies of bees, according to Alsace’s chamber of agriculture. The beekeepers harvest approxi mately 1,000 tons of honey each year, making the product a big part of the region’s economy. Agrivalor is the company that processes the M&M’s factory’s waste. According to co-manager Philippe Meinrad, the company has been attempting to stop the pollution. “We discovered the problem at the same time they did,” Meinrad said. “We quickly put in place a procedure to stop it.”17.How do local beekeepers respond to the candy-colored honey?A. They like its strange but cool look.B. They think the polluted honey is dangerous.C. They require the factory to stop pollution.D. They don’t want to take risks to sell the honey.18.What caused strange-looking honey?A. Special colonies.B. Terrible weather.C. M&M’s factory.D. Agrivator company.19.What is the attitude of Agrivalor company to the problem?A. They take it seriously and they are taking measures.B. They are pessimistic about dealing with the pollution.C. They reject to do their part to compensate the beekeepers.D. They admit the problem and have managed to stop the pollution.20.Where is the text probably from?A. A guide book.B. A news report.C. An advertisement.D. A government document.六、Imagine a warm spring day 66 million years ago. Fish would have been swimming in the rivers in an area that's now North Dakota in the US. Seconds later, the serenity (宁静) was ended by destruction.These could have been the very last moments of the dinosaur era when a city-sized asteroid (小行星) struck Earth, killing off three quarters of all species on the planet. According to a study published in Nature on Feb 23, the asteroid hit in springtime.Researchers in 2019 discovered fossilized fishes in North Dakota that died shortly after the asteroid hit Earth. They examined the fossils with a particle accelerator and found out there was seasonal growth on the bones. All fish bone cell densities and volumes can indicate the season. Because the accelerator also could capture the sizes, researchers were able to determine when in the year the asteroid hit, Dennis V oeten, a researcher at Uppsala University in Sweden told USA Today.The timing of the collision, at least for the Northern Hemisphere, came at a particularly sensitive stage. "I think spring puts a large group of the late Cretaceous biota (白垩纪生物) in a very vulnerable spot because they were out and about looking for food, tending to offspring and trying to build up resources after the harsh winter." Melanie During, the main author of the study, said at a news briefing.In the Southern Hemisphere, it was autumn, a season when many creatures prepare for winter. Therefore, life in the Southern Hemisphere was a lot more prepared for this event.It is unclear whether small animals in the Northern Hemisphere actual did worse than those in the south. There is evidence that Northern Hemisphere turtles were wiped out in the asteroid strike, after which their habitats were later repopulated by turtles from the south, V oeten told The Guardian.21.On what basis did researchers determine the time of year the asteroid hit?A. The kinds of fossilized fish cells.B. The number of fish fossils in the area.C. The appearance of different fish species.D. The volume and density of fossilized fish bones.22.What does the underlined word "offspring" most likely mean in paragraph 4?A. The young.B. A season.C. The homeless.D. A creature.23.What can be inferred from the passage?A. The time of the asteroid strike was the same around the globe.B. There were still turtles in the Northern Hemisphere after the asteroid strike.C. No creatures could survive the asteroid impact whether in the south or north.D. The extinction of many species has little to do with the asteroid strike.24.What's the main purpose of the article?A. To discuss why dinosaurs went extinct.B. To explain the science behind asteroids.C. To explore the impact of the asteroid strike.D. To report on new research on the asteroid strike.七、The world of work is changing. Are people ready for the new job outlook? A survey of 15- year-olds across 41 countries by the OECD(经合组织) has found that teenagers may have unrealistic expectations about the kind of work that will be available.Four of the five most popular choices are traditional professional roles: doctors, teachers, business managers and lawyers. Teenagers cluster around the most popular jobs, with the top ten being chosen by 47% of boys and 53% of girls.This selection is partly due to wishful thinking on the part of those surveyed. Furthermore, teenagers can hardly be expected to have an in-depth knowledge of labour-market trends. They encounter doctors and teachers in their daily lives. Other popular professions, such as lawyers and police officers, are familiar from films and social media.Some parts of the OECD survey are disturbing. More boys than girls expect to work in science or engineering. The problem continues in higher education; with the exception of biological and biomedical sciences, degrees in STEM Subjects (science, technology, engineering and maths) are male-dominated. In America women earn just 35. 5% of undergraduate STEM degrees and 33. 7% of PhDs. Things are even worsein technology. In Britain only one in five computer-science university students is a woman. Women are underrepresented in some important fields of technology; they have only 12% of jobs in cloud computing, for example.Women play a much bigger role in the health- and social-care sectors. The problem is that some of these jobs are not very well paid. Home-health and personal-care aides had median annual salaries in 2018 of just over 24,000. Some jobs in health care are extremely profitable, of course. But another gender imbalance emerges here: women make up only one-third of American health-care executives. In contrast, they tend to dominate the poorly paid social care workforce.The biggest problem in the labour market, then, may not be that teenagers are focusing on a few well-known jobs. It could be a mismatch: not enough talented women move into technology and not enough men take jobs in social care. Any economist will recognise this as an inefficient use of resources. Wherever the root of the problem lies—be it the education system, government policy or corporate recruiting practices—it needs to be identified and fixed.25.Many teenagers would like to choose some traditional jobs because_______.A.they are ready for these jobsB.these jobs are better known to themC.these jobs live up to their expectationsD.they think these jobs are available to them26.Where do most women work?A.In engineeringB.In technology.C.In health care.D.In business.27.What would-the author most probably agree with?A.The mismatch of resources requires improving.B.Not enough men and women take jobs in society.C.Teenagers have unrealistic expectations about jobs.D.It's the education system that causes the problem in the labour market.28.In which section of a magazine may this text appear ?A.Entertainment.cation.C.Science.D.Career.八、Swiss designer Didier Rudolf Quarroz’s love of Chinese tea culture has inspired him to design innovative new items to brew the tea. Ouarroz developed an interest in Chinese tea after working at a Shanghai-based design company, where he was bychance engaged in a tea project.His research helped him develop a deep understanding of the differences between Chinese and Western tea products. And this made him think about designing items for foreigners to brew Chinese tea. “I hope to design easy-to-use and modern tea-making tools to help foreigners try Chinese traditional tea and give them an interesting experience in brewing tea,” Quarroz says.In 2017, he moved to Hangzhou, capital of East China’s Zhejiang province and a major tea-production base, to explore the possibilities of applying Western concepts in designing objects for Chinese tea. “I want to focus on the tea industry, and Hangzhou is a great fit because of the long history and profound culture of tea here,” Quarroz says.Quarroz began to concentrate on the design of a tea infuser (注射器) to make brewing easier for foreigners. It’s a glass container with a silicone (硅胶) lid. All users need to do is to put the leaves inside, place it in a cup and add hot water.” The infuser can be taken out from the cup easily without users’ fingers being hurt by the hot water,” Quarroz says.Hangzhou has a booming tea industry, which has offered the Swiss designer many opportunities to cooperate with local plantations and companies. “Driven by the love of Chinese tea, I cooperate with local companies and help them to develop new kinds of tea products. Also, we sometimes organize workshops to introduce different teas to the public,” Quarr oz says.Hangzhou also enables smooth business operations, he adds. “In general, it is easy to start a business in Hangzhou. And the government and agencies are increasing efforts to help and support young entrepreneurs, including us from foreign count ries,” he adds. Quarroz says he plans to design 10 innovative tea-related products by combining Chinese tea culture with international elements.29.Quarroz’s new items have the following features EXCEPT______.A.being designed by handing Western conceptsC.making brewing easier for foreignersD.providing interesting brewing experiences30.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to the______.A.containerB.infuserC.lidD.leaf31.What makes Hangzhou an ideal place for Quarroz to start a business in China?A.Quarroz obtained many chances to cooperate with state-owned companies.B.Hangzhou features a newly-built tea industry and has abundant tea projects.C.Hangzhou organizes many workshops to introduce different teas to the public.D.Quarroz can receive much help and support from the government and agencies.32.What type of writing is the passage?A.A biography.B.A news story.C.A travel journal.D.An advertisement.答案以及解析一、1.答案:B解析:段落大意题。

五年(2017-2021)高考英语真题分项汇编(浙江专用)阅读理解·新闻类1.(2019年6月,浙江高考)Money with no strings attached. It’s not something you see every day. But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, “Give What You Can, Take What You Need.”People quickly caught on. And while many took dollars, many others pinned their own cash to the board. “People of all ages, races, and socio-economic(社会经济的) backgrounds gave and took,” said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project. “We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars.” Most of the bills on the board were singles, but a few people left fives, tens and even twenties. The video clip(片段) shows one man who had found a $ 20 bill pinning it to the board.“What I can say for the folks that gave the most, is that they were full of smiles,” Bridges said. “There’s a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that gave the most.” Most people who took dollars took only a few, but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could.While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy. He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar projects and post their own videos on the Internet.“After all, everyone has bad days and good days,” he said. “Some days you need a helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand.”1.What does the expression “money with no strings attached” in paragraph 1 mean?A.Money spent without hesitation.B.Money not legally made.C.Money offered without conditions.D.Money not tied together.2.What did Bridges want to show by mentioning the bride?A.Women tended to be more sociable.B.The activity attracted various people.C.Economic problems were getting worse.D.Young couples needed financial assistance.3.Why did Bridges carry out the project?A.To do a test on people’s morals.B.To raise money for his company.C.To earn himself a good reputation.D.To promote kindness and sympathy.【答案】1.C 2.B 3.D【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。

试卷主标题姓名:__________ 班级:__________考号:__________一、阅读理解(共11题)1、 Chinese space trainer Wang Yuan has been chosen as one of the volunteers for the Mars-500 test project. He was very happy to be chosen and will accept the meaningful challenge(挑战) Another five volunteers are all space lovers., including three Russians, an Italy-Colombian and a Frenchman. They are about to feel what it’s like to travel to Mars, only without leaving the earth.They are locked up together for a year and a half under a similar condition to the red planet during the whole process. So the experiment is called Mars-500.When reporters asked what they would miss most during the 520-day special life, French trainer Charles said:”For me, it will be mainly my family, the sun and fresh air.”The Mars-500 test will be in a special building in Moscow, Russia. Although the people won’t leave the building, they will fell as if they are on a real trip to the Mars. The most difficult thing will be to be separated(分离) from the people that they used to live with. The trainer won’t see sunsets, sunrises, won’t feel rain for 18 months. That will be hard.The main task is to study the “Man and environment”. It’ll care about the astronauts’ getting experience and physical effects. The 520-day-test is divided into three parts,the first 250days to Mars, the middle 30days of landing on Mars, the last 240 days to return to the earth. Everyone will stay there alone for a long time and will work lonely. They will have to make decisions themselves and only then report to the earth, and the earth will tell them whether they do the right thing or not.Each astronaut is preparing for the great challenge. It is learned that they will be launched(发射)early in June. And the experiment will end in November 2011.( )66. _______ members were chosen as volunteers.A.FiveB. SixC. ThreeD. Four( ) 67.

The country is changing the way Hollywood does business.Films made or shown in China are reviewed by a board of censors(审查署), and the film Skyfall had some parts cut. The science fiction film Cloud Atlas lost 40 minutes, mostly parts showing violence(暴力). Films are also cut if they harm China image (形象).Some big action films have a direct China connection. The adventure Iron Man 3 was partly filmed in China, so it has also been examined by Chinese officials. "Chinese opinions also influence other films, like 2012", said Stanley Rosen at the University of Southern California. He studies China's film industry. "Even if you're not .making in China, a film like 2012 will be very careful. A film including something that hurts Chinese feelings will simply kill the market."Chinese audiences love big movies with special effects. Half of Hollywood's box is from Chinese theaters, and Chinese officials last year raised the yearly percentage of film imports(进口) from 20 t0 34. Life of Pi was well received from Taiwan-born director Ang Lee, who has won his second Oscar Award for Best Director at the 85th Academy Awards Ceremony."More Hollywood studios(制片公司) are finding Chinese partners for co-productions, and Disney and DreamWorks Animation(梦工厂) are putting money in tourist attractions in Shanghai." Stanley Rosen said, "It's a developing relationship, and Hollywood needs China, as the North American market has been flat. But China needs Hollywood, as well, as you see with DreamWorks and Disney going in."And China is coming to Hollywood. The Chinese company TCL has bought the right to rename the historic Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. And Dalian Wanda Group has bought a key American theater chain(连锁影院), AMC. The ties between China and Hollywood are expected to grow further in the future.54. __________is the largest market for films in the world.A. ChinaB. North AmericaC. The UnitedStates D. India55. From the passage, we can infer that __________.A. Chinese audiences develop Hollywood filmsB. Hollywood starts to do business in a Chinese wayC. Chinese film market has an influence on HollywoodD. Hollywood films are shown in most of Chinese theaters56. The writer uses Disney, DreamWorks Animation and TCL as examples to__________.A. show the connections between China and HollywoodB. introduce the movie studios in China and HollywoodC. show how China and Hollywood help each otherD. explain why more movie studios go into China3、It’s reported that in Heze City, Shandong Province, a child died of HFMD on Mar.28th, 2009. So far five have lost their lives in the city.What’s HFMD? It’s short for Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease. This year, in China, thousands of children were suffering from it. What’s HFMD? How to prevent it? Now, read the passage please.HFMD usually affects babies who are 1~4 years old, but adults can also be infected. Both EV71 and Cox A16 can cause HFMD, which usually starts with a slight fever followed by blisters (水泡) and ulcers (溃疡) in the mouth and rashes (皮疹) on the hands and feet.It can be spread through people with the mucus (唾液) or feces (粪便) of an infected person. It usually appears during the summer and autumn months. HFMD isn’t B ird Flu, SARS or Mad Cow Disease, but it’s not a new one, either. It first appeared in New Zealand in 1957. About forty years later, it appears in Asia. It’s reported that it breaks out every 2 or 3 years.HFMD is very terrible and there is no vaccine (疫苗) now, but we can do something helpful to prevent it. Children with HFMD should seek medical treatment as early as possible, experts say. They also suggest that parents keep the air fresh in a child’s room, which should be kept clean, tidy and dry. Children should be taught to wash their hands regularly. Staying away from crowded public places is also basic.( )61.When and where was HFMD first appeared ?A. In New Zealand in 1957.B.

It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds(秒). Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors(编辑) decide which news stories to print (印刷)? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely (完全地) different stories to those on TV.Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don't want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be "bad" news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print stories about plane accidents.Another reason is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places an d events (事件) in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very diffe rent from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.51. According (根据) the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now?A. They carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse.B. They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.C. They watch TV or read newspapers.D. They listen to the radio every day.52. The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that .A. people can learn more about the same news story from a newspaperB. people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaperC. people can read news stories in other countriesD. people can read news stories about their own country53. Which of the following is Not True of this passage?A. News stories on the front page of every country are always the same.B. People like to read interesting and unusual news.C. Not only TV but also newspapers can help people to learn what is happening around the world.D. Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life for more than three hundred years.5、 BEIJING—Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has visited the "left-behind"(留守) children whose parents are working in cites before Children's Day.During a visit to northwest China's Shanxi Province, Wen visited the home of Yang Saike, a primary school boy in a village of Xingping City.Yang, whose parents were working in Fujian, thousands of kilometers away, was cared for by his grandparents.

The children shook their heads."Children cannot see their parents very often, which is a new problem in the countryside. We should give them more care and love." said the premier.“With fast economic(经济的) development, more people in the country chose to work in cities and left their children with grandparents or relatives back home.” said Wen.Then the Premier asked local governments to do something to protect and care for such children at home and freeing their parents in cities from worrying about their children.56.

The quake -- the most powerful to hit Japan in more than 100 years -- caused massive damage and many people are missing and feared dead.The 8.9 magnitude (巨大的)quake struck Friday(March 11) off Japan's eastern coast, and prompted(引发) tsunami warnings(海啸警报)across the Pacific as far away as South America and the U.S. West Coast. Several days after a 8.9-magnitude earthquake and resulting 10-meter-high tsunami devastated the coastline. The United States Geological Survey says it was the fifth largest earthquake since 1900. The largest, with a 9.5 magnitude, shook Chile(智利) in 1960.In Japan, the tsunami swept away boats, cars and hundreds of houses in coastal areas north of Tokyo. The quake shook buildings in the Japanese capital and caused several fires. All train and subway traffic in Tokyo has been stopped, and thousands of people there were unable to get back home. People are just trying to find clean water. Food supplies are running out. In the convenience stores, there are no rice balls left. There is no bottled water left. People are facing a really serious situation in the days ahead for these people that are living in areas that were only moderately(普通的) damaged. The final death toll could range from the thousands to tens of thousands, depending on how many of these communities are gone.Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the government would do everything it can to minimize(使降到最低) the effects of the disaster (灾难).

It’s someone who wins when no one expects it.Han Xiaopeng took China’s first gold on snow. He became an Olympic “dark horse” last Thursday by winning the gold medal in men’s freestyle aerial skiing(自由式滑雪空中技巧) at Turin in Italy. He made two almost perfect jumps for the highest score. Han had never won a world gold medal before, let alone(更不用说) in the Olympics!“I never thought this would happen,” said the 23-year-old. “I feel like I’m in a dream.” It’s China’s second gold medal at the Turin Olympics. But more important, Han’s gold was the country’s first ever in a snow sport. In 2002, China’s Yang Yang won the gold for speed skating at the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, US.Just because Han’s win was unexpected doesn’t mean that he didn’t work hard.Han grew up in Jiangsu Province. Before he started his training on snow, he used to be an acrobat(杂技演员) at a circus. In 1995, a coach found his talent(才能). The coach, Yang Er’qi, said Han had the agility(灵活性) and courage to be a ski jumper. When Yang first took the 12-year-old to northern China, the boy couldn’t swim, skate or ski. But he wasn’t afraid of the high platform(跳台) and kept on training.Han almost left the sport after hurting his knee months before the Salt Lake Games. In that Olympics he only got 24th. “I was hopeless at that time, but my fam ily and the coach stood firmly(坚强地) behind me, helping me through,” he recalled.Han Xiaopeng worked so hard that he won the gold medal in the Olympics at last. Because of his success, more and more people in China are becoming interested in skiing. We are proud of him and we hope he will have another big success in the next winter Olympics.( )61. What does ‘dark horse’ mean? It means _____________.A. a horse which is darkB. someone who is expected to winC. a horse which likes living in the darkD. someone whose win is unexpected( )62. Where did Han Xiaopeng take China’s first gold on snow?A. In China .B. In Italy.C. In America.D. In Australia.( )63. What made the coach, Yang Er’qi, choose Han Xiaopeng to be a ski jumper?A. He had the agility and wasn’t afraid of the high platform.B. He was good at skiing though he was only 12 years old.C. He was born in the north of China and liked sports on snow.D.

He was 23 when he won the gold medal at the winter Olympics.B. He made two almost perfect jumps and got the highest score.C. No one had won the gold before Han Xiaopeng at the winter Olympics.D.

Sue Chaseling of Petcare Information Service said the practice of keeping office pets was good both for the people and the pots. "On the pots' side, they are not left on their own and won't feel lonely and unhappy," she said. A study of major US companies showed that 73 % found office pots beneficial(有益的), while 27% experienced a drop in absenteeism(缺勤).Xami Riggs has two cats walking around her Global Hair Salon in Paddington. "My customers love them. They are their favorites," she said. "They are not troublesome. They know when to go and have a sleep in the sun." Little black BJ has spent nearly all his two years "working" at Punch Gallery in Balmain. Owner Iain Powell said he had had cats at the gallery for 15 years. "BJ often lies in the shop window and people walking past tap on the glass," he said.Ms Chaseling said cats were popular in service industries because they enabled a point of conversation.

Mr. John Evans had never found the time or the money-to make the trip from his home near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all-expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital, he just could not refuse.Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. Mr. Evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century. "There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings (1 shilling = 1/20 pound) return from Swansea—too much I thought. All my money went to the family then." he said.During the next two days Mr. Evans will be taken on a whistle-stop tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the Houses of Parliament(国会).The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided to move him about if he gets tired. "I don't like the chair business--people will think I am getting old," he said.His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized--no alcohol, no cigarette and no anger. Before setting off from Swansea with his 76-year-old son, Amwel, he quipped," I'm glad to see they've given me a return ticket. "4.

This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads.Until now the local government has only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school.The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government has said in the past that they will not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school's headmaster.Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than £20 a term.They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.8. What is the aim of the plan?A. To prevent the students' road accidents.B. To relieve the traffic pressure.C. To save time for the parents and students.D. To help the parents save money.9. How can the local government arrange the new bus service at a low cost?A. By letting the bus run in the morning only.B. By limiting the number of the students.C. By obtaining the support from the headmaster.D. By linking the new bus service with the existing one.10.

That's the case at charity shops and non-profit stores such as Ten Thousand Villages which helps provideskilled workmen with money in developing countries.Their handicrafts(手工艺品) are sold throughout North America in 180 stores, 95 of them operated by Ten Thousand Villages."People come into the store because we have a lot of interesting things, but then they're drawn to us by the mission(慈善的行动) ," says organization spokeswoman Juanita Fox."It just feels good to be making a difference when you're buying something."In the Alexandria, Virginia shop, generals display windows draw you in. They are filled with practical, attractive home furnishings in blue and white, all international in mood.Once inside though, it's clear that this isn't just another import store. On the wall behind the cash register is the following note:"Ten Thousand Villagers provides necessary, fair income to Third World people by marketing their handicrafts and telling their stories in North America. Your Buying Makes a Difference. "The store was opened in 1994 as part of a network of shops across the USA run by the Mennonite Church, which is based in Akron, Pennsylvania.Currently, 60,000 skilled workmen from 32 countries provide goods to the stores, with all proceeds (收益) re-invested in the organization.Management of the Alexandria shop is overseen by an all-volunteer board of directors. More than 40 additional volunteers help doing everything from working the register to unpacking stock.Maria Yannopoulos got involved after visiting a store and getting to know another volunteer.

"Not a day goes by that I don't think of what a painful thing it must have been for them," Winter said yesterday."They are very, very special people."Winter, 63, is fitter now than he was 10 years ago, when he got the transplant. He has five modals from the 1995 World Transplant Games in swimming and hopes to collect some more nextyear in Japan."At one time, we were probably strange people in the eyes of other people. Now it's expected you should be able to go back and do everything you did before. Only better."The biggest change for Winter, however, isn't that he has become a competitive athlete. The biggest change is how deeply he appreciates every little thing about his now."I have no time for arguments," said Winter."You change everything. Material things don't mean as much. Friendships mean a lot. "Also at yesterday's news conference was Dr. Gray Levy, Winter's doctor.Levy said he has bittersweet feelings when he looks at winter and hears of his athletic exploits.Levy knows that for every recipient(接受者) like Winter, there are several others who die even though they could be saved because there aren't enough donated organs."For every Mr. Winter, we have five to 10 people that will never be given the chance that Mr. Winter was given," Levy said.Levy said greater public awareness and more resources are needed. He noted that in Spain and the United States, hospitals receive $10,000 per donor to cover the costs of the operating room, doctors, nurses and teams to work with the donors' families.17.
