He wanted to make recordings of local people singing and playing musical instruments. ①__________That was a lot of money in those days.Many people came to Bristol that day to play for Mr. Peer.

2020届新高考英语新题型练习完形填空阅读理解七选五套餐练(1)完形填空(山东省临沂市2020年高三上学期期末考试)Three years ago,I participated in Model United Nations(MUN)held by the Education Department,which was a mock(模拟的)UN activity.During the two days,students are separated in different groups which 21 different countries to debate and try to solve problems.MUN has 22 awards:best delegates(代表),honorary mentions,and verbal mentions.Each time I participate in MUN,I made good 23 and undoubtedly got a few awards.But I often felt as if I’d 24 because I had never won the best delegate award.I 25 those who didn’t deserve to win the award but won it various times,and I was just filled with 26 at their success.But later I realized that it was also 27 not to get the award because I could actually 28 something,and that I shouldn’t 29 the best delegate award until I was the best delegate I could be.Failures are completely subjective—we can look at a result as a failure or a 30.Any failure can be regarded as a(n) 31 because you can always learn something from it and do 32 next time.This is supported by John Locke’s theory that we are born with blank views:knowledge and ability are learned from our 33.That’s true.If I make a mistake in the life practice,then I probably won’t 34 that next time.I believe this is 35 the best way to become better.21.A.strengthen B.condemn C.inspire D.represent 22.A.identical B.temporary C.various D.false 23.A.preparations B.predictions C.appointments D.explanations 24.A.accelerated B.failed C.exited D.succeeded 25.A.approached B.trained C.expected D.witnessed26.A.relief B.envy C.satisfaction D.delight 27.A.annoyed B.ashamed C.good D.terrible 28.A.desert B.1earn C.delete D.display29.A.win B.miss C.deliver D.value30.A.bond B.bet C.victory D.1oss31.A.aim B.benefit C.burden D.1imit32.A.funnier B.worse C.better D.slower33.A.decisions B.attitudes C.positions D.experiences 34.A.repeat B.admit C.accept D.notice 35.A.wrongly B.scarcely C.truly D.narrowly阅读理解(山东师大附中2017级第三次月考)AI was in the garden with Augie, my grandson, watching the bees. “How do they make honey?” Augie asked. “Actually, Augie, I don’t know,” I replied. “But, Grandma, you have your phone,” he said. For Augie, holding a smartphone almost means knowing everything.During my childhood I was crazy about books. Over time, reading hijacked my brain, as large areas once processing the real world adapted to processing the printed word. As far as I can tell, this early immersion (沉浸) didn’t prevent my development.Many parents worry that “screen time” will damage children’s development, but recent research suggests that most of the common fears about children and screens are unfounded. There is one exception: looking at screens before bed really disturbs sleep, in people of all ages. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) used to recommend strict restrictions on screen exposure. Last year, the organization examined the relevant science more thoroughly and changed its recommendations. The new guidelines stress that what matters is what children watch and with whom.New tools have always led to panic guesses. The novel, the telephone, and the television were all declared to be the End of Civilization, particularly in the hands of the young. Part of the reason may be that adult brains require a lot of focus and effort to learn something new, while children’s brains are designed to master new environments naturally. New technologies always seem disturbing to the adults attempting to master them, while attractive to those children likeAugie.When Augie’s father got home, Augie rushed to meet him and said in excitement. “Daddy, Daddy, look,” he said, reaching for my phone. “Do you know how bees make honey? I’ll show you…”21. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “hijacked” in Paragraph 2?A. occupied.B. damaged.C. improved.D. relaxed.22. What do the new guidelines of AAP focus on about “screen time”?A. The harm to children.B. The content and context.C. Children’s sleep.D. People’s fears.23. What might be the author’s attitude towards “screen time”?A. Opposed.B. Doubtful.C. Disappointed.D. Favorable.BToday companies have branches around the world. More than 11% of the US employers and employees work online either full-time or part-time, and that number is continuing growing. It is believed that it is a waste of time and money to fly around the world for face-to-face meetings. An effective solution to this problem is to use Web meetings.A large group of presentations, training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face-to-face experience. Web meetings are online meetings where an organizer invites attendees to listen to or watch an online presentation by presenters. Besides, Web meetings can be recorded for later use in presentations or training projects or downloaded for on-demand playback.Presenters can take real-time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting. Some Web meeting software programs can monitor the users’ desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents. If so, the program can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention, and how long the distraction lasts. In this way, the presenters will know which parts of their meetings need improving.Web meetings can work well because they’re hosted on a server (服务器). Images from the presenter’s desktop are taken, uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have accessto the server. Web meetings require a powerful server to deal with several images a second and “serve” them back to thousands of users at the same time.Companies have two choices when it comes to these servers. They can either buy a special Web meeting server to host their meetings on-site, or they can pay for a Web meeting service every time and let the off-site provider worry about hosting the meetings. The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Web meetings, the average number of people attending the meetings, and the quality of engineering and information technology.Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business. With all the technologies today, the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.24.What is the disadvantage of the traditional meeting?A.It needs more people to organize it.B.It is expensive and time-consuming.C.It results in traffic accidents frequently.D.It fails to meet the demands of big companies.25.How do some Web meeting software programs help improve the meetings?A.By presenting successful documents.B.By recording the frequency of distraction.C.By tracking the listeners’ state of attention.D.By taking surveys about a successful meeting.26.What do you know about Web meetings according to the text?A.Web meetings are likely to be widely used.B.Web meetings help presenters stay focused.C.Web meetings determine the quality of engineering.D.Web meetings work well without the help of a server.CEvery year, thousands of teenagers participate in programs at their local art museums. But do any of them remember their time at museum events later in life? A new report suggests that the answer is yes – and finds that alumni (毕业生) of arts-based museum programs credit them with changing the course of their lives, even years after the fact.The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are. They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have been in existence since the 1990s. Alumni, whose current ages range from 18 to 36, were invited to find out how they viewed their participation years after the fact.Among the alumni surveyed, 75 percent of alumni rated the teen program experience as the most favorable impact on their own lives, beating family, school and their neighborhoods. Nearly 55 percent thought t hat it was one of the most important experiences they’d ever had, regardless of age. And two-thirds said that they were often in situations where their experience in museums affected their actions or thoughts.It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens enthusiastic about arts even after they reach adulthood: 96 percent of participants had visited an art museum within the last two years, and 68 percent had visited an art museum five or more times within the last two years. Thirty-two percent of program alumni work in the arts as adults.Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the impact of teen-specific art programs in museums, it reflects other research on the important benefits of engaging with the arts. A decade of surveys by the National Endowment for the Arts found that childhood experience with the arts is significantly associated with their income and educational attainment as adults. Other studies have linked arts education to everything from lower drop-out rates to improvement in critical thinking skills.27. What does the underlined phrase “the fact” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Changing the course of children’s life.B. Participating in childhood art programs.C. Organizing arts-based museum programs.D. Remembering the time at museum events.28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell?A. The result of the study.B. The process of the study.C. The approach to the study.D. The object and content of the study.29. What can be inferred of the study mentioned in the text?A. Passion for arts may remain long in kids’ whole life.B. No other studies exist concerning the benefits of arts.C. Age matters in how people view their art experiences.D. Most children taking part in art programs will work in arts.30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. How is Art Connected to Our Life?B. Can Art Education Affect Our Income?C. What Should Art Museums do for Kids?D. Should Children Walk into Art Museums?七选五(山东师范大学附属中学2020届高三第三次月考)Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from ourselves or someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as lasting.31 We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. 32Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. 33Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we oncesaid. We remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: 34 If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. 35 Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.A.Is it loving?B.How should I say it?C.We all talk to ourselves sometimes.D.Negative words destroy all those things.E.Generally people like positive and pleasant words.F.However, critical language may cause anger and defense.G.So we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves.参考答案完型填空21-25DCABD 26-30 BCBAC 31-35 BCDAC阅读理解21-25ABD BC 26-30 ABDAD七选五CGFAD。

A language may describe something in away that is funny , too. In Welsh , it rains not cats and dogs , but old wives and walking sticks.The Endangered Language Alliance wants to save languages from disappearing. ④__________However,its efforts are limited. If an endangered language is going to make a real comeback, it ' ll probably get its start in schools. For nearly 100 years, public schools in Hawaii did not teach the Hawaiian language. Now students can keep learning in Hawaiian from elementary schools to college and beyond.⑤__________At least one did.

People learned the stories by heart and taught new ones to one another. Sometimes it was hard to remember them all.①________The ancient Egyptians wrote their stories on something made from papyrus (纸莎草)plants. People in other places learned to use papyrus from the Egyptians.②_______So parchment (羊皮纸),made from goatskin,later took its place.In ancient China, books looked a little different. At that time, people there used ink to write on bamboo or silk. And then they invented paper. Made of trees,paper was easier and cheaper to make than papyrus or parchment.③________Papermaking later spread to t he West, but there was a big problem with these early books. Every single one had to be copied and written by hand.④______They carved (雕刻)a page of word's into a piece of wood or stone.

When we eat meals quickly, we miss the feeling of satiety(满足)and we continue eating long before we realize we’re full. However, eating too fast may result in many health problems. 1 So we should slow down our eating with the following four simple ways:● 2 Put down the phone, close the computer, turn off the TV and focus on your food. Pay attention to the taste and temperature of it. Synching up(使同步) your mind and your mouth will help you get more pleasure from the food that you are eating, giving you the chance to notice the good flavor from every bite.●Set the table. 3 Set a place for yourself at the table you feel special. If you sit down and eat your meal, you will be more likely to slow down and enjoy it.●Eat with chopsticks. 4 However, using chopsticks, no matter what food you are eating, can help you learn to put smaller amounts in your mouth, one mouthful at a time.●Chew wisely. Count your bites as you chew. 5 Food that is well chewed will be digested more readily and lead to fewer gastrointestinal(肠胃的)problems.A. Are you eating quickly?B. Don’t do other things during your meal.C. Eating too fast is harmful to our health.D. For example, it can lead to weight gain, experts say.E. Try and take at least 20 seconds to process each mouthful.F. Don’t eat while standing at the counter or while looking through the fridge.G. Using forks and spoons when you eat too fast allows you to take too much per bite.2、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

We know that choosing a college major can be very hard. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. Here’s what you need to know about college majors before you commit.What is a major?36 Beyond general college requirements, you’ll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry, Literature, or Political Science.How important is my major?The major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Many graduates find jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied in college. If you intend to earn a professional degree after college, you will probably need certain courses. 37When do I declare a major?This varies widely across schools and programs. 38 Others require that you declare upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.39Definitely. One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and arouses new passions. However, keep this in mind, every major has necessarycoursework. If you change your major late in the game, it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.What are minors and double majors?If one field of study doesn’t satisfy your intellectual appetite, consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration, 40 A double major provides you with an understanding of two academic fields. It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements.A. Can I change my mind?B. Is my major time-consuming?C. It’s your specialized area of study in college.D. Most students find one major is more than enough.E. Some schools may give you one year or more to decide.F. But many future doctors major in non-science related fields.G. The only difference is that it doesn’t r equire as many classes.36~40 CFEAO评分标准:36~40小题,每小题2分。

2020年高考英语核心题型强化专练—阅读七选五含答案

核心题型强化专练—阅读七选五一、阅读七选五(本大题共65小题,共650.0分)Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life.(1) There is constant competition for academic degrees,jobs,customers,money and so forth.In a sense,competition is one of the motive forces to the development of society.(2) .Therefore,the only way to survive is to be competitive.Growing in a competitive environment is important for a child because future adult life is difficult.Finding a good job,for example,is an extremely competitive activity.Today,most people obtain knowledge through various ways and a large number of people get good education.(3) .The quality of people is rapidly increasing.Competition is more violent than what we thought it should be.The potentially successful job applicant has to be prepared in stronger position by gaining more qualifications and experience.In the sports contests,the strongest will come out as winners.In the business world,to beat your competitors,you must be better than the other employees.(4) .Though the only way our world rewards people is to give honor to the winners,not to the losers,by attempting to compete at different activities,we can still learn to win and lose,gain experience and know our strengths and weaknesses.Competition prepares us for the tough things in life.Whether in games,in study or in business alike,the aim is to win the game,the degree,the trophy,and the contract.(5) .A.Otherwise,you will be defeated.B.Modern society demands high-quality talents.C.Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for life.D.There are also many people who have higher degrees in their special fields.E.Children have to learn to be competitive in order to adapt to modern society.F.In the natural world,the weak will be replaced by the strong and the fittest can live.G.We compete when we play games and when we try to do better than others in our study.1.

GContinuous learning benefits us in many ways.First of all,it allows the increase in knowledge and ability in our career.For example,watching someone work can make us a better worker.(1) For example,we can learn about the general workforce and how the application process works to better prepare us for job searching.This can help if for some reason you lose your job and need to find other work.What's more,continuous learning can open our mind.Having an open mind and willingness to takeon new ideas can do wonders.First of all it builds your attitude towards change.(2) Second,when you take continuous learning into account,you can begin to understand how others feel about a particular issue.(3) They are always looking for new experiences and do different things.Moreover,they not only have knowledge on various topics that aren't always related to present roles but also know about the latest trends and technologies in the industry.To develop continuous learning,you have to begin with setting a clear and specific goal.(4) Once your goal is set,build a system to help support your strategy.You want to be looking for different sources of information,but also to be picky about it,In other words,try to learn within your specific field but ensure the information is coming from a trustworthy source- At the same time,do use tools to help improve your learning system.(5) Seminars (研讨会),workshops ,and live classes are the tools that modern learners need as they make learning effective.A.Learning can improve other areas in our lives.B.Besides,learning can prepare us for the unexpected.C.If always learning,you are always improving.D.Excellent continuous learners behave in a specific manner.E.Being excited about change can affect others around you positively.F.There're various tools to help you present information and learning.G.Knowing what you want to achieve can encourage you to keep learnings6.

GHave you ever wondered how the trainers at Sea World get the 19,000-pound whale to jump 22 feet out of water and perform tricks? They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine.(1) .So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce(强化) the behavior that they want repeated — in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope. (2) , in a position where the whale can't help but do what's expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, it's given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing — no criticism, no warning and no feedback. (3) . Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope.It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn't starve.(4) . Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, under-criticize.People know they need help when they mess up. (5) , people will not forget the event and usually will not repeat it.So we need to set up the circumstances so that people can't fail.

GI work at a community library.Many people are under the assumption that public libraries are no longer needed because of the Internet.Nothing could be further from the truth.(1) .A simple Internet search for "cats" produces approximately 2.98 billion results in less than one second.It is a huge number! How do you even begin to sort through all of those results?We hear so much about "false news".(2) .Librarians are there to help.They have been trained,through special classes and workshops,to sort through all of the results and find credible sources.Author Neil Gaiman said,"Google can bring you back 100,000 answers.A librarian can bring you back the right one."(3) .It helps connect people with the resources they need to find a job,continue their education,and learn new skills.It helps seniors find the resources they need to keep up with the "modern" world.It helps new parents develop a love for literacy in their children and bond with them.It helps local artists and craftsmen display their work.It helps students find the answers to those seemingly impossible homework questions.It allows people to meet and exchange ideas.Libraries are so much more than books and information.Yes,there are public computers,Internet access,movies,music,programs and a thousand other things.(4) .They are places where people feel safe and welcomed.They are places where someone who has limited resources can freely access materials and equipment they wouldn't otherwise be able to.They can,at times,be a harbor for someone who needs a quiet place to work or study.Some of the best memories of my childhood involve going to the local library and in speaking with many others in the neighborhood,they too have those same memories.They are presently making those same memories with their children and their grandchildren.(5) .I don't see the Internet doing that.A.We don't know what sources to trust.B.The public library helps people better their lives.C.The importance of library staff comes to the surface.D.However,libraries' meaning and relevance goes even beyond that.E.The public library brings people together to build a strong community.F.In fact,it is because of the Internet that public libraries are needed now more than ever.G.Every day children,students and adults use libraries to learn,grow and achieve their dreams.21.

The colors that you select create a distinct atmosphere in the room. (1)Pick the color for your room and you can create whatever you feel like. The color will also help you to enlarge the space or making it more inviting, which will also make differently all about it.However, the trick is to select the right version of that particular color. There are different hues (色调) for blues, for instance. (2) Here we have presented a guide that will let you gain a deep insight about the colors.Blue(3) For kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms it is an ideal choice. Of course it is also associated with sadness that means it may not strike note for each and everyone. It is a popular choice among people. Blue comes from the cold side of the color wheel, so it can make the room feel cold, unless and until it is south filling space. If you are attracted to blue color, think of going for purple, or mix red and purple.Dark blue is best for a living room. Probably it is best reserved for high ceiling space. (4)GreenLike blue, green is also a calm shade. (5) It is the shade that reflects nature and renewal. Green produces a positive energy without the feeling of over stimulation.A. Colors can light up the mood of the room.B. You can use it for a living room or a bedroom.C. They won't create similar effect and atmosphere generally.D. Traditionally, blue is just related to calmness and comfort.E. It is better that you select colors that are very warm like blue.F. Dark blue will really make you feel the wall appear near to you.G. But before diving into any decision, here's what you need to know.26. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G27. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G28. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G29. A. A B. B C. C D.

GHow to Rent Your HouseBefore handing the keys to your house over to a complete stranger for care,there are decisions you need to make.In fact,the decisions you make now,before searching for a tenant (房客),will make the biggest impact on the success of your rental.(1) What Condition Do You Want Your House in?There is no end to the amount of improving you can do to your house before renting it out.(2) When is good enough,good enough?A house should be clean,empty (unless you are offering it "furnished",which is uncommon)and free from any major repairs at the time the tenant moves in.Remember,the home does not need to be as fancy as you would want it to be.(3) Tenants will generally never take as good care of your house as you do-so don't spend too much time or money making unnecessary upgrades that will only be ignored or broken.Should You Use a Property Manager?(4) If you have the time,abilities,and energy to manage yourself-you can save a good deal of money by doing so.However,if you try to manage without the ability-it could end up costing you much more than what a property manager might charge.How Much Can You Rent Your House for?Luckily,discovering what the monthly rent will bear for your house is not difficult.(5) In business,market research means to get out there and find out what others in your industry are charging;learning how much to charge for rent is no different.Your house will generally rent for about the same amount as other properties that are of similar location,size and condition.A.The problem becomes learning when to stop.B.No one wants to be a landlord with those problems.C.The following are some questions to answer before you rent out you house.D.Have a professional carpet cleaner clean the carpets before showing the property.E.Look around at other rentals in your area and try to see what the typical quality is.F.The best way to determine how much your house will rent for is to simply do market research.G.The decision about whether to manage yourself or hire a property manager cannot be made by anyone other than you.31.

GIf you stayed up or had a bad night of sleep last night,you know it's difficult to stay awake in class today.Your teacher's voice might begin to sound like a lullaby(催眠曲).(1) To keep yourself awake,some tips are worth trying in class.Sit in the front of the room.Why?(2) Besides,it'll be easier to pay attention and participate when you're in the front.You'll also be near the people who are more likely to participate,and the sound of their voices might keep you awake.(3) Ask and answer questions and pay attention to the lecture.This will help if you're tiredor discouraged by the content of the lecture,because you can ask your teacher questions to get to the bottom of the problems.Talking will also keep you engaged and alert.It might be helpful to make a goal for yourself to answer or ask at least 3 questions per class.(4) For example,you might say "I didn't understand the last part of the proof.Could you explain it again in more detail?"Listen actively to the lesson.Active listening is a great way to force yourself to stay awake because it requires engagement of your mind as well as your body.(5) To effectively listen to your teacher,you should try to maintain eye contact,face the speaker,pay close attention to what the speaker is saying and ask questions during a pause in the lecture.A.Participate in class activities.B.Develop interest in the subject.C.If so,classrooms can be boring because you're tired.D.Keep silent all the time and try to catch as much information as possible.E.To avoid annoying your teacher you should try to keep your questions on topic.F.You'll be more motivated to stay awake if you know that the teacher can see you easily.G.Practicing active listening can help you keep your eyes open for the length of the lesson.36.

GWhat's the purpose of building patience abilities?In a word,happiness.Better relationships,more success.But indeed it takes effort to build them successfully.(1) Thus,when the big ones come,we will have developed the patience we need for hard times.Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience.We,human beings,are still constructed with our old reptilian(爬行动物似的)brain that protects our physical and emotional survival.On the emotional survival side,we want our way to get ahead,to achieve,to "look good." Let's just face it.(2) So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience-anger,impatience,blaming and shaming.We all have them.And we can grow beyond them.Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain.Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions-we try to change the other person,situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort.But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that's the source of our pain,but how our mind is set.(3)Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts.Most of us don't really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest-but very present-painful feelings.(4) But to really care for ourselves,get curious about what's actually happening in the moment inside you.Focusing on what's actually happening,you can notice the worry of not wanting what 's happening,the resistance.(5) When you find yourself impatient,or angry with yourself,you can remind yourself that you are growing,and that,"Sure,this is understandable;this is what happens to me when I'm bothered." You can say to yourself," It's true.I don't like this;this is uncomfortable,but I can tolerate it.A.Practice positive self-talk.B.So the solution to pain is an inside job.C.Patience abilities benefit you in many ways.D.Learn to forgive yourself for being impatient in hard times.E.we ignore the fact that we're in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem.F.The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habit-forming.G.Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pains and annoyances.41.

GContinuous learning benefits us in many ways. First of all, it allows the increase in knowledge and ability in our career. For example, watching someone work can make us a better worker. (1) For example, we can learn about the general workforce and how the application process works to better prepare us for job searching. This can help if for some reason you lose your job and need to find other work.What's more, continuous learning can open our mind. Having an open mind and willingness to take on new ideas can do wonders. First of all, it builds your attitude towardschange. (2) Second, when you take continuous learning into account, you can begin to understand how others feel about a particular issue.(3) They are always looking for new experiences and do different things. Moreover, they not only have knowledge on various topics that aren't always related to present roles but also know about the latest trends and technologies in the industry.To develop continuous learning, you have to begin with setting a clear and specificgoal. (4) Once your goal is set, build a system to help support your strategy. You want to be looking for different sources of information, but also to be picky about it. In other words, try to learn within your specific field but ensure the information is coming from a trustworthy source. At the same time, do use tools to help improve your learning system. (5) Seminars (研讨会), workshops, and live classes are the tools that modern learners need as they make learning effective.A. Learning can improve other areas in our lives.B. Besides, learning can prepare us for the unexpected.C. If you're always learning, you are always improving.D. Excellent continuous learners behave in a specific manner.E. Being excited about change can affect others around you positively.F. There're various tools to help you present information and learning.G. Knowing what you want to achieve can encourage you to keep learning.46. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G47. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G48. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G49. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G50. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. GSmart devices are sometimes powerful.They put a world of information at our fingertips.(1) That is a huge blessing for parents seeking flexible work hours.Smart phones and tablets can also promote efficiency by allowing people to get things done in spare moments that would otherwise be wasted,such as while queuing for coffee.They can even help lazybones create the false impression that they are working around the clock,by programming their e-mail to be sent at 1 am.But for most people,the servant has become the master.Not long ago only doctors were on call all the lime.Now everybody is.Bosses think nothing of invading their employees' free time.(2) Even people with strong mind check their smart devices with heavy addiction,even during pre-dinner drinks,and send e-mails first thing in the morning and last thing at night.(3) How can we harvest the benefits of connectivity without becoming its slaves?One solution is digital dieting.Just as the abundance of junk food means that people have to be more disciplined about their eating habits,(4) Maybe the only way to break the 24/7 habit is to act together rather than individually.The firms should introduce rules about when people are expected to be offline,and encourage them to work together to make this possible.We must be aware that the faster smart devices become and the more addictive the apps that are designed for them,the stronger the addiction will grow.(5)A.This is partly because smart devices are addictive.B.Work invades the home far more than domestic chores invade the office.C.Now it's time to outsmart the smart devices by insisting that everyone turn them off from time to lime.D.the abundance of junk information means we have to be more disciplined about our browsing habits.E.Banning texting at weekends can really show the iPhone who is boss.F.They enable people to work at home instead of crowding into the subway with smelly strangers.G.What can be done to keep smart devices in their place?51.

GHow to revise for a testStudying for tests may be one of the most difficult parts of school. (1) If you feel discouraged about an approaching test and need some directions for preparing yourself,consider using the following suggestions to help you out.Aim foremost to understand the concepts.Keep the important points in mind,and ignore unnecessary information. (2)Ask for help.When the need arises,it is best to receive help from the others. (3) You could also ask him/her for a set of questions and answers that could help you memorize the information.You could also ask a family member or a friend for help.Practice in everyday life.Fit reviewing into everyday life by sticking up notes with sentences you need to remember for the test written upon them. (4) You could possibly put one on the bathroom mirror,one at the table and another by the TV.This is optional but highly recommended.(5)Find out how much you remember certain things and what's missing.Decide what you did well in and what you did not so well in.This may boost your chances of getting more marks in the assessment and may also help you remember for next time.For instance,if you are struggling on maths problems based on geometry,then put this down as something that you need to review more than the subjects you are good at.Review often but little.Do not push yourself and try reviewing everything in one day.Practice takes time and if you rush,you won't remember anything.A. Go through what you have been learning.B. Mark your practice tests.C. As long as you remain focused on the main topics,you will be able to do well on the test.D. However,even the worst test performance could be turned around into a successful attempt.E. It can be difficult to remember the material and understand which points to study.F. You will notice them every day and reviewing won't seem to be boring or dull.G. Ask your teacher to summarize the topic with all the important points.56. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G57. A. A B.

GVitamin D is necessary for bone-building,immune (免疫)function,blood sugar control ,positive mood and more.(1) The lower your vitamin D level is,the higher your risk of death from any cause will be.However,it's not a great idea to just take a supplement (补品)off the drugstore shelf and start taking it.Since many of us have an inadequate amount vitamin D,also known as the sunshine vitamin" ,doctors will often give us high levels of D supplements,with closes ranging from2,000 to 10,000 I(International Units)per day,up to 50,000 IU per week and sometimes even more.(2) Very big doses (剂量)of vitamin D can cause a build-up of calcium (钙)in the blood,which leads to poor appetite,weakness,weight loss or other diseases.Here's the bigger issue;(3) A build-up of stored vitamin D can cause avoidable problems,leading to problems such as kidney (肾)stones.(4) The National Institutes of Health set the Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitaminD at 600 IU daily for babies,children,and adults up to 70 years old.Adults aged 71 and older need 800 IU,since the ability to absorb vitamin D drops with age.Because the fat cells take vitamin D up,making it less available for use by the body,(5)Though you'll get a bit of vitamin D from foods - including fatty fish,beef liver,cheese,milk and so on - the amounts are so small that there's little need to worry that they'll put you ,over the daily dose.A.It can help prevent many diseases.B.We can actually reduce the risk of death.C.people who are fat may also need more vitamin D.D.any extra intake of vitamin D can get stored in the body.E.But like all good things,it's possible to get too much of it.F.The average daily recommended amounts vary based on your age.G.Vitamin D should be supplemented carefully despite its importance.61.

They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine . (1) .So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce( 加强 ) the behavior that they want repeated — in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope. (2) , in a position where the whale can't help but do what's expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, it's given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing — no criticism, no warning and no feedback. (3) . Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope. It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn't starve .(4) . Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, under-criticize . People know they need help when they mess up.

And roughly 67% of adults talk in their sleep at least once every three months. It often runs in families and tends to be more common among men.2 — ranging from mumbling (咕哝) to complete sentences. Sometimes it may seem as though the sleep-talker is giving a speech, while at other times it can sound as though the person is carrying on a conversation with someone else. The chatter can occur during any stage of sleep.If a friend or family member has ever told you that you talk in your sleep, your first concern might be whether you said something offensive or let out a long-held secret. 3 , as far as your health is concerned.Sleep talking is considered a sleep disorder. In terms of what causes it, inadequate sleep, alcohol or drug use, illness, stress, anxiety, and depression are common causes of such unconscious thinking. 4 .

In America, they talked of “motion pictures (电影)”, but this soon became shortened to“movies”.America’s movie industry began life in New York, but by 1910, movie-makers were moving to Los Angeles. In New York, everything was too expensive, such as workers, land, and taxes. 2 . By contrast, the Los Angeles region was full of advantages. In California, they could make films all through the year, and everything was cheaper. 3 .The movie-makers found what they needed a few miles outside Los Angeles, and before long, large new studios were being built in an area called Hollywood, at the foot of some small dry hills.Movies quickly became very popular, particularly after “talkies (有声电影)” first appeared in 1925. 4 , and film companies needed money — lots of it. For this reason, Hollywood rapidly became dominated (支配) by a small number of big companies such as MGM, 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros. and Paramount.5 , but most of them are still there. Some old names have disappeared, but some new ones have appeared, such as Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg’scompany Amblin.Naturally, Hollywood has changed a lot so far! Today the biggest studios belong to huge international firms. For instance, News Corporation, which now owns Fox, also owns newspapers on three continents (including The Times of London), and satellite TV networks in America, Europe and Asia.A. We now often go to the moviesB. However, movies were expensive to makeC. In particular, there was lots of land for saleD. Like it or not, we all now live on planet HollywoodE. Since then, the big companies have had their ups and downsF. At the same time, a new industry was just being born: the cinemaG.
