题型二阅读理解（任务型阅读）1-10Passage 1（2018．河北）Artificial intelligence( AI)（人工智能）is growing rapidly. We are living in a world that depends more and more on AI. AI is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks.AI's recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. For example, AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. But this attention has also produced a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs.According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI. In some industries,AI is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling（装配）cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self- driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the driver's jobs in the future.On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed to write programmes for AI systems（系统）and they will set up and work on them, too. Meanwhile, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced（取代）by AI. These includes jobs in fields like teaching, nursing and personal training.AI is here. It is changing how people live and work in many ways. That makes AI important to watch, not to fear.1、2题完成句子；3题简略回答问题；4题找出并写下第二段的主题句；5题将文中画线句子译成汉语。
专题11-2021年新高考英语拓展阅读训练-人与动物或植物(解析版)
专题11—人与动物或植物Text 1(2020年全国统一高考英语试卷（新课标Ⅱ）)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。
When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (时装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down there can’t handle this non-native species(物种).It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us.” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades，but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s，the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it’s not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur.Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Model Paige Morgan says，”To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-1 think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She trying to come up with a lable to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.28．What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?A．To promote guilt-free fur.B．To expand the fashion market.C．To introduce a new brand.D．To celebrate a winter holiday.29．Why are scientists concerned about nutria?A．Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.B．Nutria are an endangered species.C．Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.D．Nutria are illegally hunted.30．What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A．Boomed.B．Became mature.C．Remained stable.D．Crashed.31．What can we infer abouf wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?A．It’s formal.B．It’s risky.C．It’s harmful.D．It’s traditional.【答案】28．A29．A30．D31．B【解析】本文是说明文。

Maybe this is a little different from our Chinese people. When we Chinese are at home, we would like to enjoy ourselves by watching TV or meeting our friends. But American people like spending their time in doing some kind of work on their own. They believe it to be helpful and interesting.In their eyes, DIYs will not only help them to develop their brains but also save them much time. For a very little job, they will need to think carefully before carrying it out well. This will certainly do much good to their brains and make them brighter and brighter.Why do Americans choose to do DIYs? Perhaps because some Americans live far away from the service center （服务中心）.When something goes wrong, they will have towait for a long time before finding the right service. In these cases, they would also love to manage by themselves. So in America, DIYs are very popular.

You can breathe （呼吸）fresh air, meet different people and make friends with them. It’s good for your health to do so.But sometimes, travelling is not an enjoyable thing. For example, the weather can be changeable 多变的）.There may be rain when you travel. You may catch a cold or be ill while travelling. The worst thing is that the thieves may ste偷（your money. All these may happen to a tourist（游客）.When you go on a trip, you must get everything ready. Firstly, you must have clear information about the weather.

The Chinese have a saying “Eat good things for breafkast, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat a little at dinner.” Many people in the USA agree （同意that one starts a day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different.Most people in America only give themselves a short time to have their lunch, so they eat a small lunch. After work, they can have more time to eat a big dinner. Also a quiet 安静的）dinner at home with all the family talking about their day is a way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work.Eating at restaurants is also different. In China, very often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly （大声的），and they are just having a good time. In America it is not like this. They usually eat a good meal far away from the noisy （吵闹的）places. If they are making some noise, other people in the restaurants will look at them angrily（生气），even the manager （经理）of the restaurants will ask them to be quiet.6. ______ ____7. _________ _____8. ______ ____9. _______ ____ 10.6Kitty is my pen friend.

词数310 建议阅读时间5分钟Ding Talk Gets Bad GradesAlibaba communication app DingTalk hasbegged China’s school students to stop venting anger onthe software after they gave it poor grades when made touse it to attend online classes.Millions of Chinese are stuck at home because of the coronavirus outbreak.Authorities shut schools until at least the end of February to try to stop the spread of the virus and many school students were hoping for an extended holiday.So they were less than grateful when DingTalk, originally designed for China’s collar workers, adapted to the virus outbreak by offering the service to help educate primary and middle school teenagers.Its features such as homework grading, the ability to livestream classes and watch video replays, has received a flood of one-star reviews from disgruntled pupils.On Monday, DingTalk had a score of 2.5 out of 5 stars, despite being No.1 in the business category.“I know, young heroes, you were not expecting such a fulfilling holiday, it’s difficult for you,” it said in a music video with cartoons posted on its verified Weibo late on Sunday.“Young heroes please spare my life, you all are my papas,” it said.Many of the roughly 800,000 reviews on the app on the Apple store platform criticised DingTalk for spoiling their plans for a rest.“My holidays!I love DingTalk, say no more, there is one star for you,” said one review.“Thank you so much DingTalk for making me feel the warmth of coronavirus even though I am not in Wuhan,” read another one-star verdict.“I am giving you five-stars, but in instalments.”The five-year-old company, competes with Tencent Holding’s WeChat Work and Bytedance’s Lark in the office tools space.These apps have seen a surge in downloads in recent weeks as many firms also rolled out work-from-home policies.Passage2为什么年轻女性比男性更容易抑郁？词数354 建议阅读时间6分钟Social media anxiety1.

What does McLaughlin advise teenage girls to do?A. Ignore social media and stop following a diet.B. Connect more with the real world.C. Constantly take part in volunteer work.D. Make better use of phones for socializing.Passage3“It should be of huge concern to all of us，for insects are at the heart of every food web．They pollinate(授粉)the large majority of plant species，keep the soil healthy，recycle nutrients，control pests，and much more. Love them or 1oathe them, we humans cannot survive without insects，”said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the UK．The analysis，published in the journal Biological Conservation, says intensive(集约型)agriculture is the main driver of the declines, particularly the heavy use of pesticides. Urbanisation and climate change are also significant factors．“If insect species losses cannot be stopped，this will have catastrophic consequences for both the planet’s ecosystems and for the survival of mankind. It is very rapid. In 10 years you will have a quarter less, in 50 years only half left and in 100 years you will have none, ”said review author Francisco Sánchez-Bayo, at the University of Sydney, Australia．One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on many birds，reptiles, amphibians and fish that eat insects.“If this food source is taken away, all these animals starve to death, ”he said. Such effects have already been seen in Puerto Rico, where a recentstudy revealed a 98％fall in ground insects over 35 years.Matt Shardlow, at the conservation charity Buglife, said: “It is thoughtful to see this evidence that shows the pitiful state of the world’s insect populations. It is increasingly obvious that the planet’s ecology is breaking and there is a need for a strong and global effort to prevent and change these terrible trends.”1. Why are people worried about the insect decline?A. They are vital to ecosystems．B. They provide food for pests．C. They pollinate all plants．D. They enrich the soil．2. What is the main cause of insect losses?A. More and more trees．B. Restrictions on pesticides．C. Upgrading agriculture．D. Friendly environment．A. In paragraph 1．B. In paragraph 2．C. In paragraph 3．D. In paragraph 4．4. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Humans can survive the punishment of natureB. Insect declining is breaking nature’s ecosystemsC. Nature’s ecosystems are influenced by humansD. Insects and animals are dying out in Puerto RicoPassage4 [短文改错]It can be seen from the picture Mr．Liu，who wears a mask．was walking his dog．Interestingly，his dog which also wears a mask．In recent year，air pollution has become more and more serious in some areas，which have led to severe consequences．To solve this problem，firstly of all，we should raise the public awareness of protecting the environment．Secondly，the government ought to punish the illegal acts as polluting the environment severe．Thirdly，we must do our best to protecting the environment in our daily life．Only in this way can human beings and animals share a pleasant planet or live a happy life．。

Left brain, meet right brain. Go forth and prosper. That could be the new formula for a successful career.大脑“左右开弓”，职场平步青云。
这可能是事业成功的最新秘诀。
Here's why. The human brain, that extraordinary computer, is divided into two hemispheres, each responsible for different skill sets. The left brain is popularly associated with logic and analytic thought; the right, with intuition and creativity. But many of the good jobs of the future, according to some employment experts, will require being good at using both sides of the brain.原因何在？作为超级电脑的人脑分为左右两个部分，各自掌管不同的技能组合。
左脑通常与逻辑和分析思维有关，右脑则与直觉和创意相联。
但一些就业专家预测，未来，许多高薪工作将要求熟练运用左右两边的大脑。
To some extent, that future is already here. Jobs that tap both technical and creative thinking include mobile-app developers and bioinformaticians, and represent some of the fastest-growing and highest-paying occupations, according to a new report from Burning GlassTechnologies, a labor-market analytics firm in Boston.在某种意义上，这个未来已经来临。

Bring life to national treasures by singingAt the beginning of 2018, a TV programme called National Treasure introducing valuable cultural relics(文物) of our country went popular. People learnt stories and had more interest in the treasures. Now, we have a new way to know more about the ancient paintings in the Palace Museum through music.Tencent's QQ Music and the Palace Museum together held a songwriting competition, Ancient Paintings Can Sing(古画会唱歌).The competition was open to songwriters between 17 to 35, and the songs must be based on ten ancient paintings at the Palace Museum. The winners could sing their works with pop singers at a concert held at the Palace Museum in October.Yi Yangqianxi, a member of the famous group TFBOYS, sang the theme song, Magnificent Landscape in Painting (《丹青千里》), for the competition. The idea of the song came from the famous painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains(《千里江山图》). It was shown in the TV programme and now it's in the Palace Museum.The writer, Fang Wenshan, wrote the lyrics(歌词) of the song. He is famous for using cultural images in the lyrics. And the music is a modern style, including traditional Chinese musical instruments, such as guzheng and pipa.The music video of the song came out online on 25 July, 2018, which was also the beginning of the competition.Hou Deyang from the Tencent Music said that this competition could encourage young Chinese musicians to make more works and catch young people's attention to traditional Chinese art forms.（1）How can people learn more about the ancient paintings in the Palace Museum according to the passage?

It is true that lots of programs are meaningless. However, some programs are good and we learn many things from them. Here are few of my favorite programs.（1）How often did the writer watch Blue Peter when he was a child?A．Three times a week.B．Twice a week.C．Three times a month.D．Twice a month.（2）What does the underlined word "recipes" mean in Chinese?A．请柬B．协议C．餐券D．食谱（3）If Sarah is interested in animals, which of the following shows may she be interested in?A．Blue Peter.B．The Great British Bake Off.C．Frozen Planet.D．Pointless.（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the material?A．Pointless is a quiz about sports.B．Blue Peter tells about different countries around the world.C．The writer always watches The Great British Bake Off online.D．The writer likes Frozen Planet because of the lovely animals in it.（5）The material mainly talks about ________.A．movies B．magazines C．TV programs D．talent showsBTV has become one important part of modern life. People enjoy themselves after hard work by watching TV. They can see some plays, some stories, some sports matches without going out of home, and without spending much money in buying tickets. TV programmes make people's life more interesting.People learn much from TV. Students can study by watching some educational programmes. People can see news, weather reports, programmes about science and computers.But not all the programmes are good enough. Today, there are some programmes about crime. Some people become bad because they learn from the bad people in those programmes. And watching TV usually takes too much time. It's not good for people's work and study. It's not good for their eyes either.Is watching TV a good thing or a bad one? I think it depends on people themselves. If one can choose good programmes and he doesn't spend too much time on TV, it can be a good thing for him.（1）If we don't go out of home, how can we see some football matches according to the passage?A．By listening to the radio.B．By buying some tickets.C．By watching TV.D．By being a fan.（2）What can we see on TV?A．Some plays and stories.B．Some educational programmes.C．News and weather reports.D．All of the above.（3）What does the underlined word “crime” mean in Chinese?A．文艺演出B．教育活动C．犯罪活动D．科学研究CAre you a TV lover? Can you imagine living without TV? Well, you could give it a try.A group of Americans from TV-Turnoff Network(网络) have an idea. From 19 to 25 April, they are asking children all over the world to turn off their TVs for one week. They hope children will find more interesting things to do. Maybe they can read some books, or learn to swim, or paint a picture. Since 1995, about 24 million people in America have taken part in TV-Turnoff week.TV-Turnoff Network says watching TV too much can bring children big problems with school, health and family. They want kids to watch less TV. What do you think?Bad for children's studiesAmerican scientists did a study of 1, 300 children. They watched the children for four years. They say that if children watch lots of TV, they don't do well in school.Bad for children's healthStudies show that when children watch lots of TV, they eat more unhealthy food. More children are getting overweight. Overweight children become ill more easily. Watching too much TV is also bad for their eyes.Bad for family lifeAbout 40% of American families watch TV at dinner time. That means that they don't talk very much when they eat together.Also, too many violent(暴力的) thingsAn American study says that before a child turns 18 years old, that child will see 200, 000 violent things on TV. Some kids become violent in real life.If you want to learn more about this unusual week, you can go to this website, www. tvturnoff. org.（1）When is TV-Turnoff week?A．From 19 April to 25 April.B．Any week in April.C．The first week in April.D．It doesn't tell us.（2）What do children do during that week?A．They watch TV much less.B．They go to this website, www. tvturnoff. org.C．They read some books, or learn to swim, or paint a picture.D．Both A and（3）What can we learn from the passage?A．About three fifths of American families watch TV when they have dinner.B．The children who watch too much TV will do well in school.C．Children in America aren't allowed to see violent things on TV until they are 18.D．Millions of people in America have taken part in TV-Turnoff week since 1995.DNowadays, phone calls and messages help us get in touch with others. It means that we seldom write letters now. But a TV show, Letters Alive(《见字如面》), is bringing back this old habit.Letters Alive invites famous actors and actresses, but there are no funny jokes or competitions. It's just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter. The letters were written by people from different times in history. For example, in one period, they read a letter written by famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941. The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future.“Every letter opens another world for us, ” according to Guan Zhengwen, the director of the TV show. “We can also touch the heart of the writers'. ” Since its first period on December 5, LettersAlive has been widely praised. Many audiences said that it had provided a breath of fresh air to today's TV shows.Besides Letters Alive, some other cultural TV shows have also been well received by Chinese audience. Chinese Poetry Conference is a traditional Chinese poetry competition. And Readers invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote. It suggests that cultural values and true feelings are becoming our interest.（1）Letters Alive, a TV show, invites famous people to_________A．tell audiences jokes B．read and share lettersC．walk up to a microphone to sing D．take part in different competitions（2）How many cultural TV shows are there in the passage?A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.（3）Chinese audiences________these cultural TV shows.A．like B．dislikeC．show no interest in D．doubt about（4）Which is the best title for the passage?A．Phones have taken the place of lettersB．Welcome to our cultural TV showsC．Letters make us communicateD．Cultural TV shows are becoming popularECould you live without a TV for one year?What would you do with all that spare time?Philippa Carling wanted to see if it was possible and persuaded(说服) her family to give theirs up for one whole year.“I live with my husband and our two children, ” explains Philippa, “and I realized just how much time we spent sitting in front of the TV. The children turned it on first thing in the morning and again when they got back from school. My husband and I were no better. We'd spend the evening together talking about very little but what programme was on at that time. Then the family decided, after lots of arguments (争论), that we would try to do without a TV for one year. We nagged(唠叨) on the Internet and everyone was allowed to watch some of the recorded programmes—if they had a good reason for doing so. ” And so, on 24 July last year, the Carling family sold their TV.Eleven months have now gone by and Philippa believes the experiment(实验) has own a great success. As she explains, “We were all surprised at how easy it was. The immediate result was we all started to read a lot more, including the children. We spend time together after dinner playing board games around the table and the children finish their homework a lot quicker than before. We talk about what will happen when the year comes to an end and the children have always said they want the TV back. Butthey've also agreed that life has been good without it. ”So will the TV return when the year comes to an end next month?“We're not sure, ” says Philippa. “We might decide to buy a new one or we might not. The important thing is that we've all learnt life can carry on without one. It can even be fun!”（1）What is the writer trying to do in this passage?A．To warn parents about the dangers of TV.B．To argue that TV programmes are boring.C．To explain how a family lived without a TV.D．To persuade readers to give up their TVs for a year.（2）What do we learn about Philippa's family?A．Their TV was on all day long.B．They all agreed to try the experiment.C．She and her husband didn't watch much TV.D．They argued about which programmes to watch.（3）The family used the Internet .A．to watch recorded TV programmesB．to find good reasons for not having a TVC．to find out which programmes they were missingD．to chat with others who were doing the same experimentFMore than 95 percent of people in the world have phones today, according to the United Nations, Phone calls and messages help us easily communicate with others, It means that we seldom write letters now.

For example, we now have e-friends to help us and keep us company. An e-friend is a machine （机器） that looks just like a human.

And computer science will be one of the most important subjects in school then.People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and travel.Our food will be different, too.

九年级英语全册拓展阅读试题新版人教新目标版【附答案】
Unit 1 How can we become good learners?过模拟If you put your history notes under your pillow and sleep on them the night before an exam, will you do any better in the exam? Most of us have hoped this might help. However, knowledge can’t go through the pillow into your brain. But that doesn’t mean you can’t learn while you are asleep.Scientists aren’t exactly sure how it works, but they have discovered that the brain can learn things during sleeping hours.In one experiment, researchers gave German speakers some Dutch words to learn. Then, they divided them into three groups. The researchers played the Dutch words for people in Group 1 while they were asleep, without telling these German speakers what they were doing. The sound was low so it didn’t wake them up, and only the newly introduced words were used.Another group listened to the same words while they were awake. The researchers found the people in Group 1 were better able to identify and translate the words later. This was true only for the words that were played while they slept. The third group listened to words when they walked. The walkers didn't have the same success in remembering the words as the sleeping group.The researchers later found that people had more slow-wave brain activity all over the night. They said that more slow waves made people have a better memory for the new words.1.When did the researchers play foreign words for people in Group 1 in the experiment?A. Before they went for a walk.B. Before they went to bed.C. When they were asleep.D. When they were having dinner.2.What does the underlined word "identify" mean in Chinese?A. 提高B. 辨认出C. 隐藏D. 逃避3.The last two paragraphs tell us the experiment's______.A. resultB. reasonC. influenceD. purpose4.Which of the following is true?A. Scientists think people can't learn during sleeping hours.B. German speakers enjoy learning Dutch words.C. Slow-wave brain activity can help people have a good sleep.D. People in Group 3 didn't remember the words as well as those in Group 1.5.Where is the passage most probably from?A. A history textbook.B. A science magazine.C. A travel newspaper.D. A modern novel.答案解析【解题导语】人在睡觉的时候大脑也可以继续学习吗？看看本文是怎么说的吧。

But despite their docile nature, scientists still lack basic information, such as how long the whale sharks actually live.To solve the problem, researchers turned to data from the dozens of atomic bomb tests carried out in the 1950s and 60s. These explosions produced huge amounts of an isotope called Carbon-14.As scientists know how long the element takes to decay, they can work out the whale shark’s age, depending on how much Carbon-14 is contained in their bones. One whale shark was 50 years old at time of death. Some can live to be 150.参考词汇(上面的黑体单词)：stretching 长度（可达）……weighing 有……重slow-moving 行动缓慢的docile 性情温顺、温和的turned to 求助于isotope 同位素element 元素decay 衰变课外小知识补充：冷战期间进行的原子弹试验数据帮助科学家们准确地测定了世界上最大鱼类的年龄。
2021届高考英语第二轮复习：时事热点阅读练习(十)附答案
2021届高考英语第二轮复习：时事热点拓展阅读练习（十）AOperators （运营者）of one of the country's most famous restaurants say mannequins (服装模型) can add some fun and help with social distancing in public places. The Inn at Little Washington has placed several throughout its eating area, or dining room. The restaurant in Virginia plans to reopen its dining room May 29, as the state is expected to ease restrictions (限制)on gatherings inside restaurants.The mannequins wear 1940s-style clothing and sit at several tables.The Inn is in the low hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains about 90 minutes by car from Washington, D.C."When we needed to solve the problem of social distancing and reducing our restaurant's occupancy（上座率） by half, the solution seemed obvious," Patrick O'Connell said in a statement. He is chef and owner of the restaurant.He said the mannequins create the required space between guests. But, he said they also bring smiles to faces and might be used to make some fun photos.O'Connell's restaurant is not the only one trying out unusual ideas to ease the practice of social distancing. In Maryland, for example, a coastal restaurant is using "bumper tables" to welcome back dine-in guests. The round, one-person tables have an air-filled tube around them and wheels at the bottom. Guests can move them around and bump into other tables for fun while keeping a 2-meter distance between people.And in Germany,a restaurant is trying to keep guests at a cafe at a safe distance by providing them hats to wear. The hats have two pool noodles attached to the top. The hats look funny but also help guests quickly realize if they get too close to others. The restaurant also has limited its dine-in service by more than 50 percent.What funny or unusual things are restaurants or stores in your area doing to keep visitors at a safe distance? Tell us in the comments (评论区).I'm Alice Bryant.(328 words)根据文章内容，选择正确答案1. Which restaurant has limited its dine-in service over 50%?A. The restaurant in VirginiaB. The coastal restaurant in MarylandC. The restaurant in Germany,D. None of them2. According to the report, the customers can also ______ except dining in these restaurants.A. have some funB. shop for clothesC. watch moviesD. surf the Internet3. What does the underlined word obvious mean in Chinese?A. 未知的B. 明显的C. 令人失望的D. 有趣的4. If you find some unusual things for social distancing, how can you let Alice Bryant know?A. Make a phone call to her.B. Email to herC. @ her twitter.D. tell her in the comments5. What can we learn from the news?A. More restaurants will try to keep the customers in safe social distance in June.B. More restaurants will be closed in June.C. The dine-in service in the restaurants will not be allowed in June.D. The restrictions on social distance will be stopped in June.答案：CABDABFor centuries, people have kept large amounts of cash at home during difficult times. But in the corona virus crisis, things are different. These metal coins and paper bills can be a source of worry rather than hope. The fear is that these objects, possibly touched by thousands of people, could be a way for the corona virus to spread.Public officials and health experts have said that the risk is small. Still, some businesses refuse to accept them, and some countries have suggested that their citizens should stop using them altogether.Zachary Cohle is an economics professor at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut. "In many areas, cash was already beginning to disappear due to theincreased risk of robbery, the ease 便捷of internet ordering, and the ubiquity 普及of cell phones," he said.Sweden, Finland, Norway, Canada and others have slowly reduced cash use to the point where using it in large amounts seems unusual.Britain and Australia are expected to become cashless countries.And in China, cash use has dropped as electronic payment services 电子支付服务 increased in popularity over the past ten years.Since the virus outbreak, shops that have remained open, like grocery stores, have encouraged people to pay with cards. And Germany's central bank said 43 percent of Germans recently paid for goods and services with a card.In Iran, there are no international bank cards, like Visa or Master card, because of U.S. sanctions. Yet new signs appeared at some gas stations in Tehran:"Service is only for those who will pay by debit cards借记卡." A debit card is a small plastic card that is used in place of cash to buy things.However, cash use is still common in places like West and Central Africa where many cannot pay for the cost of banking services.Dorothy Harpool teaches at Wichita State University's W. Frank Barton School of Business. Harpool thought some people would rethink their use of cash during the crisis. But she said the world would not be cashless " until everyone and every country has reliable access 可靠的方式 to the internet."(362 words)根据文章内容，选择正确答案：1. Why can the coins and cash be the source of worry in the corona virus crisis?A. Because they are not easy to carry.B. Because they can be stolen if you keep them home.C. Because they may carry the corona virus.D. Because they are not allowed to use in the shop.2. In many areas, cash was already beginning to disappear. Which is not the reason?A. Taking cash with you is more dangerous.B. More and more people shop on the internet.C. More and more people pay with cell phones.D. Things are cheaper if you pay with bank cards..3. What does the underlined word sanctions mean in Chinese?A. 支援B. 制裁C. 建设D. 掠夺4. Why does cash use is still common in places like West and Central Africa?A. Because few people there have a mobile phone.B. Because people there need to pay the banks if they use the electronic payment services.C. Because the electronic payment services are unavailable.D. Because the Internet is unavailable.5. Which statement is true about the cashless world?A.Britain and Australia have become cashless countries.B. The outbreak of virus helps the world to be cashless.C. We will achieve the cashless world in the near future.D. A cashless world is impossible for us.答案：CDBBBCA millipede-like 类似千足虫的creature that was recently discovered in Scotland may be the oldest-known land animal. This small, fossilized (变成化石的) creature, some 425 million years old, helped lead the way for the many animals that would eventually最终 live on land.Researchers said they found the creature's remains 遗骸on the island of Kerrera in Scotland's Inner Hebrides. It lived close to a lake and probably ate dead plants. Fossils of the oldest-known plant with a stem were found in the same area.While the creature, called Kampecaris obanesis, is the earliest land animal known from a fossil, soil worms土壤蠕虫 are believed to have lived before them – perhaps 450 million years ago.That information comes from Michael Brookfield of the University of Texasat Austin and the University of Massachusetts Boston.Brookfield was the lead writer of the research report that described the findings in the journal Historical Biology.Kampecaris was about 2.5 centimeters long. It looked like modern millipedes, but it was a member of a group that died out. It was not a direct ancestor 直系祖先of the millipedes that live now.Life first began in the world's oceans, with a growth in diversity 物种some 540 million years ago. Some kinds of plants began appearing on land around 450 million years ago. The land vertebrates 脊椎动物–animals that have a backbone脊骨 or spine脊椎–showed up some 375million years ago. These animals were the ancestors of the reptiles爬行动物, birds and mammals哺乳动物 that are alive today –including humans. Human beings first appeared about 300,000 years ago.(252words)1. If you lived ________ years ago, you could see some Kampecaris obanesises near a lake in Scotland.A. 375 millionB. 4.25 millionC. 450 millionD. 540 million2. Which statement is untrue about the Kampecaris obanesis?A. It ate the dead plants for life.B. It had the same ancestor as the millipedes.C. It looked like modern millipedes.D. It was about 2.5 centimeters long.3. What’s the right order for the following lives to appear?a. the Kampecaris obanesisb. soil wormsc. humand. the land vertebratese. birdsA. b, a, d, e, c,B. c, a, e, b, dC. b, a, e, d, cD. a, b, d, e, c4. What does the underlined word “show up” from the last paragraph mean in Chinese?A. 演出B. 出现C. 灭绝D. 进化5. From the report we can learn that________.A. The Kampecaris obanesis lived also in the water.B. The Kampecaris obanesis had a much longer history than birds.C. The earliest plant was on the land.D. Human beings are the kind of the land vertebrates.答案：BBABDDHuge bones have been discovered in a place 50 kilometers north of Mexico City where a new airport is being built. Scientists, who study the past by examining very old objects, are digging up more and more of these bones.These archeologists have found that the bones belong to the mammoth（猛犸）, the most famous mammal of a cold period in Earth's history known as an ice age.Archeologists have found the bones of 70 mammoths so far. The latest discovery includes two large skulls, as well as rib and leg bones.Ruben Manzanilla is the lead archeologist at the site. Manzanillas aid that the place once was part of a shoreline with a lot of mud（淤泥）. Lakes likely formed there at the end of the most recent ice age."When an animal this size fell here, it got stuck and couldn't escape," he said.The mammoth bones belonged to a Columbian mammoth, which unlike its relative, the woolly mammoth, had little hair. But, it was a powerful creature.M anzanilla believes it weighted about 20,000 kilograms and stood more than 4 meters tall.Many mammoths likely got stuck in the mud, Manzanilla said. But, hes aid that evidence at nearby places suggests early human hunters used spears to kill the mammoths. They also may have used traps in the water.Over 10,000 years ago, central Mexico had many groups, or herds, of mammoths. The bones they left behind led some people to create stories about giants（巨人）. Lopez Lujan wrote about some of the stories in the publication （出版物） Mexican Archeology recently.In 1519, two local kings showed the Spaniard Hernan Cortes what was probably a mammoth leg bone. They told Cortes that the bone came from terrible,tall men. Bernal Diaz del Castillo, a soldier and writer at the time of Cortes,wrote about the incident（事件）."We were sure there had been giants in this land," wrote Diaz Del Castillo. （325 words）1. What does a archeologist do?A. He builds airports.B. He studies the past by examining very old objects.C. He creates stories about giantsD. He writes about some of the stories int he publication2. What is untrue about the Columbianmammoths?A. They lived in the ice age.B. They had thick hair.C. They were as tall as a house.D. They were as heavy as twenty tons.3. According to Manzanilla, which is not the probable cause of the mammoths’ death?A. They were stuck in the mud and died.B. They were killed by the early human hunters with spearsC. They trapped in the water by the early human.D. They were killed by the giants.4. What does the underlined word evidence means in Chinese?A. 结果B. 证据C. 原因D. 事故5. According to the report, we can infer（推断） that the mammoths lived about _________.A. ten thousand years agoB. twenty thousand years agoC. one million years ago.D. two million years ago.答案：BBDBA。

Last year at Christmas time, my wife, three children and I were on our way from Paris to Nice. Somehow everything went wrong. Our hotels were “tourist traps” and our rented car broke down. On Christmas Eve, when we checked into a dirty hotel in Nice, there was no Christmas spirit in our hearts.It was raining and cold when we went out to eat. We found a small restaurant poorly decorated for the holiday. Only five tables in the restaurant were taken. There were two German couples, two French families, and an American sailor, by himself. They were eating in stony silence except the sailor. He was writing a letter, and a half-smile lighted his face. In the corner a piano player was listlessly (无精打采地) playing Christmas music.All of us were interrupted by an old French flower woman through the front door.

The weekend is short. It is only two days out of a seven-day week. To make your weekend look longer, you need to plan it better. Here are some ideas：
★Get up at your usual time. The biggest mistake(错误)is to think that the weekend is a good chance for getting up late. So getting up early can make you feel the weekend is longer.
★Finish homework as early as possible. Nobody wants to do homework, but we have to do it. The earlier you do it at the weekend, the better you will feel. You can do homework from 7：00 a. m. to 9：00 a. m. on Saturday morning. After doing your homework, you can plan your weekend well.
★Go out to enjoy the weekend. Think about what you like to do. Plan a sports activity, for example, playing football in the park. You can also plan to go to a museum, a zoo, or a park.
