They were asked to get a good night's sleep for two nights.A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a row. The researchers took make-up free (素颜) photos of the volunteers after both the good and the bad sleep.Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge (评价) them on attractiveness, health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them: "How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?"The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low.The strangers also said they wouldn't want to socialize with the tired students.

In other words, people don't want to hang around with people who might be ill.Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said "Judgement of attractiveness is often unconscious (无意识的), hut we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy.

If I hold it for aminute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."She continued, "The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed â€" incapable of doing anything."It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!7．Which of the following can be put at the end of the first paragraph？___A．How much is this glass of water？B．How heavy is this glass of water？C．How long can I hold this glass of water？D．How soon can I drink this glass of water？8．According to the passage，people often feel bad when having stresses because___．A．they think about them for a while B．they think about them for an hourC．they think about them too often D．they think about them too long9．The writer expressed his opinion through____．A．taking an example B．giving a fact C．having a discussion D．telling a story10．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？_____A．Let go of your problems B．Let's think of our worries for a whileC．Let go of you stresses D．Let's put down our glasses of water．DYou need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车) full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?The tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket entrance, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.Now you’re inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red stickers is easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women.There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these immediately. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see them. Apart from what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It’s so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time (and money) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Expertssuggest it’s better to shop when it’s quieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful with queues at the checkouts. These are sometimes deliberate(故意), to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait.So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come with just the things you went for.11.Smells from bread in the supermarket ______.A. make you feel hungry and buy more foodB. draw your attention to bread onlyC. make you buy less bread than you needD. force you to leave the supermarket12.Supermarkets don’t provide baskets because ______.A. supermarkets don’t usually have manyB. baskets are too small to hold many pr oductsC. it’s easy to go shopping with trolleysD. a trolley can hold one or two products inside13.According to the passage, toys for children are usually placed ______.A. on higher shelvesB. on each shelfC. on lower shelvesD. on the back shelves14.It can be learned from Paragraph 6 that supermarkets usually ______.A. stop people lining up at the checkoutsB. close on Monday morningC. play loud and noisy music insideD. make customers feel relaxed15.The passage is mainly about _____.A. several ways supermarkets use to sell more productsB. some advice when people go shopping on the streetC. several rules that every business should followD. some advertisements that make people buy moreIV.

With automaticity,he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words,so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.It can begin as early as first grade.In a recent study of children in Illinois schools,Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others,but also got better results in exams.According to Rossman,the key to automaticity is the amount(数量) of time that a child spends reading,not his IQ.Any child who spends at least 3.5to4hours a week reading books,magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity.It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level.If you read aloud with expression,with asense of the meaning of the sentence,you probably are an automatic reader.If you read brokenly,one word at a time, without expression or meaning,you need more practice.【小题1】The sentence“Reading is the key to school success”means that reading___________.A．helps school develop fasterB．is the key to a successful schoolC．helps students go to a key schoolD．can improve students’learning results【小题2】Rossman tells that any child who_____________will probably be an automatic reader.A．turns off TV one night4weeksB．reads books by the word quicklyC．spends an hour reading every dayD．gets the same grades as others in exams【小题3】The underlined word“stumbles”in the passage means “_____________”in Chinese.A．结结巴巴地读B．全神贯注地读C．心不在焉地读D．声情并茂地读【小题4】The best title for the passage should be “______________________”.A．IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity B．TV Is Bad for Children’s ReadingC．Automaticity Depends on PracticeD．D．Automatic readers Will Be SuccessfulDCACCWe have always been interested in the moon.2000years ago people already knew it moved around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year.At that time,everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.When scientists could usetelescopes to study the moon more closely,their ideas began to change.They could see the moon was made of rocks.Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on Earth.This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth's gravity millions of years earlier.In1969moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied.Much to their surprise,scientists found that,except for water,the moon and the earth were made of the same things.Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.After years of study,most scientists now think that the moon was once part of Earth.They believe very early in its history,maybe4million years ago,something about the size of Mars hit Earth.This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet.These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.In the future,even though our ideas about the moon may change again,we will still be interested in it.【小题1】Now,we’re sure________________A．Moon rocks are quite different from those on Earth.B．Moon was once a part of Earth.C．Moon moves around Earth and it’s the only satellite of Earth.D．Moon was once a planet caught in Earth’s gravity.【小题2】In1969there is a big event,that is__________.A．humans Found no water in Moon rocksB．scientists made out a modern spaceshipC．scientists invented an advanced telescopeD．humans left their footprints on Moon【小题3】What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?A．Why people are interested in the moon.B．How ideas about the moon have changed over time.C．Where the moon came from in the past.D．That people have finally learned the truth about the moon.【小题4】Before1969most scientists thought the moon was________.

DCBAAGFor some people,music is no fun at all.About4%of the population is what scientists call“amusic”.People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes.Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs.As a result,songs sound like noise to an amusic.Many amuics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics.In fact,most people cannot understand what it feel like be amusic.Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful.That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music.However,this can result in social loneliness.“I used to hate parties,”says Margaret,a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic.By studying people like Margaret,scientists are finally learning how to identify(辨别)this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different for those of people who can enjoy music.The difference is complex(复杂的),and it is not connected with poor hearing.Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well.They also have no problems understanding common speech.Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断).For years,Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem music.Now she knows that she is not alone.That makes it easier for her to explain.“When people invite me to a concert, I just say”No,thanks.I’m amusic.’”says Margret.【小题1】Amusics are the people who_________.A．like music B．have poor listening C．don’t like music D．are born unable to enjoy music【小题2】Life is hard for amusics mainly because_________.

2024年人教版中考英语阅读理解说明文十篇
2024年人教版中考英语阅读理解说明文十篇Most people have probably seen a movie about an AI (人工智能) tool or a robot (机器人) that has become so smart that it can control the world. At present, there are no such AI tools or robots. But scientists have been working to improve AI models. Some recent models can create realistic photos from a short written description. Others can recreate anyone’s voice based on a voice recording just a few seconds long.The AI tool that has got the most attention recently is ChatGPT, created by the company OpenAI. When asked a question, ChatGPT answers quickly in perfect sentences. It can make up stories and games, write articles, program computers, and much more. ChatGPT appears to be very intelligent (智能的). But in fact, ChatGPT is simply guessing—based on its training information—which word is most likely to come next, over and over again.In March, OpenAI developed a more powerful model, called GPT-4. GPT-4 can create and explain jokes, and pass tests that are difficult for humans. The rapid progress of recent AI models worries some people. In late March, many computer experts (专家) wrote a letter calling for a six-month pause (暂停) for any work on AI tools.The letter says AI companies race to create smart AI tools that no one can “understand, predict, or...control”. The group behind the letter wants governments to develop laws to make sure AI tools are safe.ChatGPT has caused so much excitement that many companies are likely to keep developing smart AI tools. But the letter has sent a strong warning that many people, including leaders will be thinking about carefully.1．What can we know from the first paragraph?A．AI models are becoming intelligent.B．Scientists get new ideas from movies.C．Robots will not control the world in the future.D．Things in movies will happen in the real world.2．Which question is not answered in Paragraph 2?A．Who created ChatGPT.B．What ChatGPT can do.C．How ChatGPT works.D．When was ChatGPT created.3．Why did many computer experts write the letter?A．They advised people not to use ChatGPT.B．They wanted to explain why GPT-4 was much safer.C．They hoped AI companies could solve real-life problems.D．They warned leaders that AI tools would become dangerous.4．Which of the following is TRUE?.A．GPT-4 can do any work instead of humans.B．Computer experts think ChatGPT is good enough.C．AI companies are racing to develop smart AI tools.D．Scientists are working to create AI tools bigger than GPT-4.Do you know what Oscar is?

专题13阅读理解考点3说明文（第01期）（2024·四川眉山·中考真题）What subject do you worry about the most at school?Many students worry about math.Some students can’t sleep well the day before a math exam.Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself.But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful.“For students who are worried about math,posture(姿势)makes a big difference,”Erik Peper,a researcher from a university told Daily Mail.That’s right—sitting up straight can help you do better in math exams.Researchers tested125college students.They asked them to do a math exam while sitting in a slumped-over (趴倒的)position,or sitting up straight.After the test,56%of the students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.Slumping over is a defensive(防备的)posture.It can bring out negative(消极的)memories in the body and brain.This can stop you from thinking clearly,Peper said.Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam didn’t necessarily benefit(受益)from better posture.But they did find that doing math in a slumped-over position was more difficult,Science Daily reported.Good posture isn’t just helpful for taking math exams.Musicians,sports players and public speakers can all benefit from it.When you feel stressed out,you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall.It can help you feel more positive(积极的)and focus better.1．According to the passage,how do many students feel when they face math?A．Calm.B．Sleepy.C．Stressed.D．Relaxed.2．How many students found it easier to do the math exam when sitting up straight?A．125.B．70.C．60.D．56.3．What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph6refer to?A．Good posture.B．Taking math exams.C．Defensive posture.D．Science Daily.4．What is the passage mainly about?A．The benefits of positive posture.B．A good way to relax in an exam.C．The benefits of a slumped-over position.D．A good way to have math tests.（2024·四川眉山·中考真题）On average(平均),firefighters get a fire call every24second s in the US.Every87seconds,a home fire happens.Just between January1st,2019and January1st,2024,there were11,180home fire deaths in the country.

food is forgotten about and wasted.However,according to a recent research,being aware of(意识到)what you throw away can help you waste less.The researchers measured(计量)food waste from154families across the UK.Half of these families in the research were asked to list the fruits and vegetables they had bought and their expiry dates.The families stuck the list on the fridge door and received a text message every day telling them to check it.The other half did not have to make a list and did not receive text messages.Over a six-week period,all the families were asked to measure their food waste at the end of each week.The researchers were surprised to find that making lists and getting texts made little difference to how much food was wasted.However,each family in the research wasted less food—about0.1kilo a week.The researchers carried on the research for six months,and found that all the families continued to waste less food.This shows that just measuring food waste encourages people to pay closer attention to it and throw less away.13．What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph2refer to(指的是)?A．The research.B．The list.C．The door.D．The message.14．What is introduced in

cover about71percent of the earth’s surface,there’s still a lot we don’t know about them. Only about20percent of the seafloor has been mapped,and the remaining80percent is still a secret to us.Some scientists even think that91percent of sea animals have yet to be discovered.So why do we know so little about the deep sea?Well,getting to those depths is very difficult and requires high technology that simply didn’t come into being for most of human history.The first navigable submarine(可驾驶的潜水艇),for example,was built in1620,and it couldn’t go more than five meters below the surface.In fact, for a long time many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than550meters and didn’t see much need to explore(探索)the deep sea.However,this changed in1862when life was discovered as far down as945meters below sea level with the help of a digging machine.Ten years later,around4,700species (物种)unknown before from the ocean floor were discovered.Since then,high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea,including satellites.But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult?Well,at greater depths it is freezing(极冷的),everything is completely dark, and the pressure can be over1,000times greater than that on the surface.Though we have the difficulties,it’s important that we understand the seas.They help control the earth’s temperature and produce half of the oxygen(O2)in the air.They can also provide us with information about climate change.Our future depends on learning more about our oceans,and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface.31．Why are some numbers listed in Paragraph1?A．To introduce how important oceans are.B．To discuss why sea animals have yet to be found out.C．To explain that oceans cover a large area of the earth.D．To show that we have only a little understanding of oceans.32．What caused the change of exploration into the deep sea?A．High technology.B．Unknown species.C．A pleasant environment.D．Valuable information.33．What does the underlined word“They”in the last paragraph refer to?A ．Sea animals.B ．The seas.C ．The satellites.D ．Many scientists.34．What can we learn from the text?A ．It is difficult to build a navigable submarine.B ．The seas have a strong influence on our future.C ．The seas have no lives at a depth of 550meters.D ．It is easier to go into the deep sea than we think.35．What could be the best title of the text?A ．Hidden Treasures in Deep SeaB ．Unlocked Secrets of Deep SeaC ．Deep-Sea Exploration:Into the Freezing DepthsD ．Deep-Sea Exploration:The Past and the Future（2024·福建·中考真题）Materials ◇A wide glass jar with a

2021Most viruses can be found and killed by our immune system as soon as they enter our bodies.However，some viruses，for example，the coronavirus，are sneaky.They are difficult to recognize and find.These viruses can cause deadly diseases，like COVID﹣19.Human﹣to﹣human transmission can easily occur，and pandemic will therefore break out.V accination is by now a simple，safe and effective way to protect us from the diseases.▲Vaccines are something that "looks" exactly the same as the viruses，mainly made from the viruses that are weakened or killed.They will not make us really ill.They only stimulate and activate our immune system to work，telling it something harmful is coming in.The immune system will know what the "viruses" look like，and send B cells（lymphocytes）or antibodies to find and kill them.Meanwhile，B cells will remember them for the next kill.A vaccine may also give us passive immunity by providing B cells taken from an animal or a human to play the same role.Scientists have developed more than 180 vaccines to fight against COVID49.The technical approaches of these vaccines can be a little different，but their aims are the same.Take the inactivated vaccine as an example.In an inactivated vaccine，the coronaviruses are already killed or made into the ones unable to produce more new viruses.When the immune system "sees" them，it will try to kill them.The question is：without enough these viruses• how can B cells remember them？That's why we need to take the vaccine more than one time.Though this vaccine is safe，it might not be as effective as it is expected to be.The live﹣attenuated vaccine is different.In this vaccine，the viruses are weakened，but they are alive.They can produce enough new viruses to train the immune system to kill and remember them，so people only need to take the vaccine once.The live﹣attenuated vaccine is considered the most effective，but there is a worry：what might happen once these viruses wake up？Therefore，although vaccination is by now one of the best ways to protect us from COVID ﹣19，it can be better.（1）The coronavirus can .A.not be killedB.not be foundC.cause deathsD.stop pandemic（2）Which of the following can be the best topic sentence of Paragraph 2？A.Vaccination can provide us with B cells.B.Vaccines are made from different viruses.C.Vaccination can prepare us against viruses.D.Vaccines won't make us ill as the viruses do.（3）Compared to the inactivated vaccine，the live﹣attenuated vaccine .A.needs taking more than onceB.is equally safeC.contains viruses that are killedD.is more effective（4）What can we learn from the passage？A.Vaccination is good enough to treat COVID﹣19.B.The immune system can be more effective with vaccines.C.The viruses in inactivated vaccines can make new viruses.D.180 vaccines have been developed to fight against diseases.2020Tide is the regular rise and fall of the ocean level caused by the movement of the sun, the earth and the moon. It is considered a promising source of green energy to produce electricity in coastal areas.To make use of tidal energy, we need to build tidalpower stations. The bays* and the river mouths where thetide is high (the tidal range is more than 10 metres) areusually perfect sites to build tidal power stations. There aremany such places in the world. According to the IRENA(the International Renewable Energy Agency), by just using 2% of our coastlines, we can produce 4, 383TWh of ocean power each year, enough to meet 16. 4% of the world's electricity needs.To build a tidal power station, we need to build a dam. In the dam are many turbines and on each turbine there is an electric generator*. When the tide rises, water comes through the dam, the turbines turn and the electric generators work, producing electricity. When the tide fall, water goes out through the dam, the turbines turn again. The electric generators continue to work.Tidal energy has it advantages. Using tidal energy to produce electricity is much cheaper than using the traditional energy, like coal or gas. For example, the Rance Tidal Power Station in France has been there for over 50 years, producing around 540, 000TWh of electricity each year. The cost is only 1.3 cents/TWh. Tidal energy can be used nearly 24 hours a day. As long as the sun, the earth and the moon exist, we can use it to produce electricity. But without sunshine, here is no solar energy. When there is no wind, electric generators will not work In addition, with the development of modern technology, tidal energy can be stored and used to produce electricity continuously. However, we still have some problems to solve. It is difficult to build a dam in the sea, and the cost is very high. Moreover, it's expensive to keep a tidal power station in is best condition.Scientists are working on them.33. A tidal power station is best built ______________A. at a river mouth with windB. along the coast with wavesC. in a bay with tide high enoughD. in coastal areas with sunshine34. The underlined word "turbine" in Paragraph There is a machine to_________.A. make the tide rise and fallB. make an electric generator workC. let water go through the damD. keep the dam in good condition35. What advantage does tidal energy have?A. We can use it to get useful tide.B. It can improve the ocean environment.C. We can use it nearly all the time.D. It meets 16. 4% of the electricity needs.36. How can we make better use of tidal energy?A. By digging more bays and river mouths.B. By building cheaper tidal power stations.C. By closing traditional electric power pants.D. By using tidal energy to replace other energy.2019Many objects in the universe are invisible,but they send radio waves. The radio telescope thus appeared, and it is considered one of the greatest inventions in the twentieth century. Reber built the world's first radio telescope in 1937. Ryle and Hewish developed radio telescope systems for the location of weak radio sources, and they shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1974.A radio telescope is usually made up of:One or more antennas to collect the radio waves. Most antennas are made in the shape of a dish to collect and reflect, the radio waves to the sub-reflector, in the same way as a curved mirror focuses visible light to one point.A receiver and amplifier to receive the radio waves from the sub-reflector, and make these weak radio waves strong enough to be recorded and turned into electronic signals. To make an amplifier sensitive enough, it is usually cooled to, very low temperatures (e. g. as low as -270℃）.A recorder to keep a record of the electronic signals. Most :radio telescopes today keep the signals to the computer's memory disk for astronomers to analyze later.Radio wavelengths are much longer than those of visible light, and the radio waves from deep space are always weak. To catch Radio wavelengths are much longer than those of visible light,and the radio waves from deep space are always weak. To catch these waves, radio telescopes usually have huge antennas. The sizes of most antennas in use today are around 50 to 300 metres in diameter. The antenna of FAST in Guizhou, China, the latest and largest radio telescope in the world, is 500 metres in diameter, as large as the size of 30 football fields.To avoid interferences, and keep the telescopes sensitive, radio telescopes are built in placeswhere there are no human radio waves or electronic signals. For example, FAST is 5 kilometres away from the closest village and 25 kilometres away from the nearest town.Radio telescopes create pictures of the sky, not in visible light, but in radio waves. This is extremely useful, because there are objects that can't be seen, objects that we wouldn't even know without radio telescopes.33. Radio telescopes help collect ____________ from the universeA. lightB. objectsC. radio wavesD. visible signals34. Most antennas of radio telescopes are made in the shape of a dish to ____________.A. make the antennas strong enoughB. increase the number of radio wavesC. turn radio waves into electronic signalsD. focus radio waves on the sub-reflector35. The underlined word "interferences" in the passage refers to __________________.A. the noises made by villagers and animalsB. the sounds from the radios and televisionsC. the people who go to Guizhou to watch FAST workD. the radio waves and electronic signals from humans36. What have we done with the help of radio telescopes?A. We have received pictures of deep space.B. We have discovered unknown lives in the universe.C. We have found some unknown objects in the universe.D. We have turned the radio waves from space into light.2018Diabetes is caused by a group of metabolic disorders in which there are high blood sugar levels over a long period of time. There are three main types of diabetes:Type 1 Diabetes results from the body not having enough insulin.Type 2 Diabetes mainly happens to those who do not have enough physical exercise, eat too much unhealthy food and get too heavy.Gestational Diabetes is the third main form. It appears when a woman is having a baby. She willprobably get well again after the birth of the baby.Diabetes can bring serious problems. People with diabetes, especially the Type 1, will easily get thirsty and hungry, and quickly lose weight. If it is not treated, it will develop rapidly (weeks or months), and cause many long-term complications. All the complications relate to damage to blood vessels. For example, damage to the eyes. It is caused by damage to the blood vessels in the eyes, and results in gradual vision loss and blindness. The complications will greatly increase the risk of diabetes, by which about 75% of the deaths are caused.According to a report from the WHO (World Health Organization) in 2015, about 415 million people have diabetes worldwide, which means 8. 3% of the adults in the world have diabetes. Of all the cases, 85% to 90% are Type 2 Diabetes. That is to say, most cases of diabetes result from the unhealthy life style. Diabetes doubles a person's risk of early death. From 2012 to 2015, about 1.5 to 5 million deaths each year resulted from this disease. The global economic cost of diabetes in 2014 was around 612 billion USD.A healthy life style can help prevent diabetes. Doing a lot of physical activities and having a healthy diet will help have normal body weight. Higher levels of physical activity (more than 90 minutes per day) can reduce the risk of diabetes by 28 %. Healthy diet includes foods rich in whole grains and fiber, foods with good fats from nuts, vegetable oils and fish, little sugar, and less red meat.33. Diabetes is ______.A. a serious diseaseB. a damage to blood vesselsC. an unhealthy life styleD. an unusual blood sugar levels34. According to the passage, what problem can diabetes cause?A. a person gets too heavy.B. A person doesn’t want to e at.C. A person becomes blind.D. A woman will not have a baby.35. The WHO report (2015) tells us that in the world ______.A. 8.3% of the people have diabetesB. 85% to 90% of the adults have Type 2 DiabetesC. about 1.5 to 5 million people died of diabetes every yearD. the economic cost of diabetes was about 612 billion USD in 201436. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. A Report on HealthB. Diabetes and Its CauseC. How to Prevent DiabetesD. Diabetes: Harm and Prevention2017Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rationally aboutwhat to believe or what to do. According to a report on the WorldEconomic Forum (2016), critical thinking, creativity, and their practicalapplication* are widely accepted as the top three skills that young peopleneed to possess * in their future career.A good critical thinker usually takes the following steps before he dicides what to do. Whenever he needs to do something, he would, first of all, reason. He checks why he needs to do it and whether he really needs to do it.Then, analyze. He tries to find out what it really is and the best way to do it. After that, evaluate. He makes sure whether he is ableto do it and how to do it well. Finally, he makes the decision and takes action. Take the “Double 11” (apopular online shopping day in China) as an example. A few days before it, he checks carefully what he needsand whether he really needs them, and makes a shopping list. He goes to the online shops to compare thequality and the prices of the things that he is going to buy. He compares the shops that sell these things.Then he checks whether he can afford them and in which shops he is going to buy them. Although it takes him some time to make the decisions, he would not regret after the shopping.Then what would happen if he didn’ t think critically before he made the decisions? After the crazy “Double 11”, there were usually a lot of complaints on the Internet. There were regrets about buying more things than they needed. There were complaints about the poor quality and the prices of the things they bought. There were also complaints because they received wrong things or simply received nothing. There were all kinds of regrets and complaints. Why so? They had not thought critically before they made thedecisions.Critical thinking helps you make wiser decisions. It helps you avoid wasting time, money and so on. Therefore, do look before you leap.33. According to the passage, critical thinking is a thinking skill that______.A. helps make better choicesB. will appear in the futureC. helps make quick decisionsD. makes us spend more money34. In Paragraph 2, how does the critical thinker analyze the things he may buy?A. He checks what he needs to buy.B. He studies the quality and the prices.C. He makes a proper shopping list.D. He checks how much money he has.35. The underlined word “complaints” means that the people ________.A. are not satisfiedB. are not confidentC. are not interestedD. are not responsible36. Which of the following examples is the use of “critical thinking”?A. Daming did a new science experiment before reading instructions.B. Lingling's parents became very angry when they knew her bad marks.C. After looking at the other team-s weak points, the coach made a new plan..D. After hearing the stranger s words, the girl followed him into a supermarket.2016One evening as I was leaving the store，I noticed a man with a very old sleeping bag going through the garbage can nearby．He pulled out fast food trash bags and inspected all that was in the thrown away bags，but he never stopped anyone to beg for money or anything eles as they entered or left my store．After he went through the entire trash can，he carefully cleaned up the area and wrapped up the food he found in the dirty hamburger wrapper．My heart literally hurt for him．I decided to help him．I got out of my car and asked him if I could buy him something to eat．He thanked and，followed me to the fast food place around the block．I bought him the biggest meal they had on the menu．He didn't ask for anything and the only request was a big glass of hot sweet tea to go with his meal．When I brought him the food，he was so thankful．He told me how much he appreciated the meal．I wanted to give him some money．He shook his head．I asked him if I could buy a few meals and put it on a gift card for him．He agreed．As I handed him the gife card，he broke down crying．He told me that he prayed for me today．I wasn't sure what he meant （I was guessing he was praying for me for what I did for him ）so I thanked him．"NO，I prayed that God would send someone to buy me a hot meal today …and be sent you!"Tears traced down his checks．I didn't know what to say …I always pray over my food，but I've never prayed for a meal．I've never doubted that I wouldn't be able to eat …Tears began to fill my eyes．Oh my …how blessed am I…Maybe God used me to answer this man's prayer．Everybody has a story though I didn't know his，but I had done what God wanted me to．God put him in my path …I knew he did．I took him to my office．33．The man that writer saw outside his store was possibly aA．beggarB．homeless manC．street cleanerD．hamburger lover34．Why did the man brerk down crying when he got the gift card？A．He had finally talked to God．B．He could have a new sleeping bagC．He finally got what be needed．D．He wanted to have some hot meals35．According to the passage，what kind of person was the man？A．A polite，careful person with few words．B．A lonely，serious person with a trash bagC．A nice，lonely person with a sleeping bugD．A friendly，careful person with little money36．What did the writer most probably do in his office？A．He gave the man some moneyB．He gave the man another big hot mealC．He asked the man to pray for himD．He invited the man to work in his store．。

Ben knows that this day honors animportant man, but Ben does not feel connected to him. However, the small-world theory (理论) connects Ben toDr. King. Ben’ s mom (0) has a close friend, Amy (1). Amy’ s uncle, Mark (2), once met and spoke to John Ca (3), the son of President Jimmy Carter (4). Jimmy Carter knew Dr. King (5). In a way, Ben is onlyaway”from Martin Luther King Jr.The small-world theory says that everyone in the world is connected through a short chain (链条) of peoplethey know. Another name of this chain is degrees of separation. Each degree is a step that separates a person fromsomeone he or she does not know. There are zero degrees of separation between a person and the people he or sheknows directly. This means that there are zero degrees between Ben and his mom. There is one degree ofseparation when just one person separates someone from a person he or she does not know. Ben knows his mom,but he hasn ’ t met her close friend Amy. Therefore, Ben is one degree away from Amy. As the chain continues,Amy’ s uncle, Mark, is two degrees. John Carter is three degrees, and his father is fo ur degrees. Dr. King is fivedegrees away from Ben. The theory says that there are no more than six degrees of separation between any twopeople in the world.The small-world theory has a lot to do with math. The theory assumes ( people. Each one of those 100 people knows 50 different people. Each of假定 ) that each person knows 100 those 50 people knows another 50people, and so on. When someone continues the calculation to six degrees, it is like this: 10050×50×50×50 9×50 = 31.25 10×. This number is greater than 31 billion (a billion = a thousand million). There are over 6 billion people in the world. These numbers show it is possible that six degrees of separation could include everyone inthe world.Does the small-world theory work? No one has ever proved it. Maybe the theory just invites people to thinka little more about their places in the world.52. Ben is two degrees away from __________.A. Jimmy CarterB. John CarterC. AmyD. Mark53. What is the meaning of“ degrees of separation”in Paragraph 2?A. The chain to connect people.B. The relations between people.C. The steps of knowing strangers.D.

There were once two brothers who lived on the 80th floor. On coming home one day, the lifts were not working and they had to climb the stairs home.After struggling (挣扎)to the 20th floor, they decided to throw down their bags and come back for them the next day. They left their bags and climbed on. When they got to the 40th floor, the younger brother started to complain (抱怨) and both of them began to quarrel (吵架). They continued quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.They then realized that they had only 20 floors to climb and decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their home. Each stood before the door and waited for the other to open it. But they realized that the key was in their bags which were left on the 20th floor.This story is like our life. Many of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when we are young.

中考英语—— 阅读理解之说明文 (学生版)
考点29 阅读理解之说明文＂英语说明文＂，顾名思义，就是一种以＂说明、解释＂为主要表达方式的英语文体。
它是对客观事物的性状、特点、功能和用途等作科学解说的。
它既不像故事那样重在情节的叙述和描写，也不像议论文那样，重在阐明主张和论点论据；更不像科幻作品那样富于想象和虚构夸张。
说明文是通过解说事物、阐明事理，使人们增长知识和技能。
说明文是高考英语阅读理解题中的重点内容之一。
说明文具有与自己特点相适应的说明方法，因此说明文结构复杂，专业术语多，易于拉开考生分数档次，便于高校分层次选拔人才。
然而对于考生来说说明文抽象度高，解题难度大。
高考对说明文的考查多为科普知识，动植物特性、自然现象和新产品、新工艺介绍以及人文地理、风土人情等方面的说明文，文中解释性、定义性、说明性的句子居多。
因此考生要掌握说明文的命题特点，叙述方式，以冷静的心态阅读原文，重点突破长句结构特点和逻辑关系，以便对其做出准确的语意理解。
说明文阅读理解的特征一般说来，英语说明文与其他文体一样，文章所涉及的内容不外乎以下几个方面，即who →what →when → where → how → why。
1. who：问的是这篇文章的主体是谁？(即所要说明和描述的人或事物)2. what：问的是主体做了什么事情？(即主体表现出的特性、功能和用途)3. when和where：是在何时何地发生的？(即何时何地所表现出的特性、功能和用途)4. how：通过什么方式表现出来的？5. why：这种特性功能用途的原因是什么？做说明文阅读理解题的时候，一定要记住上面的wh-word。
边阅读，边搜记，牢记要点，把握全文。
AHave you ever gone to a fast-food restaurant to eat and gotten a kid's meal that came with a toy? Sometimes those meals have different toys for boys and girls —maybe a truck for the boys and a toy bear for the girls. Who decides that boys like to play with trucks and girls like to play with stuffed animals? I know many boys who like stuffed animals and lots of girls who play with trucks. When we decide what someone will like or how they will act just because they are boys or girls, we are stereotyping(形成模式化观念).A stereotype is a group that we put people into. Our human brains do this all the time; it's one of the ways that our brain has learned to deal with the world. We see someone and put that person into a group—for example, the old or the young, a boy or a girl. Is that a bad thing? No, it's not.One advantage of a stereotype is that it enables us to deal with situations rapidly because we may have had a similar experience before. The use of stereotypes is a major way in which we simplify our social world; since they cut down the amount of processing(i.e. thinking)we have to do when we meet a new person.Although grouping itself isn't bad, it can be harmful sometimes. It makes us ignore differences between each single person, that is, we usually think all the people in one group are the same but that might not be true.When we stereotype, we think of a group and give everyone in that group certain characteristics. For example, the fast food restaurant believed that all boys like to play with vehicles and all girls prefer toy animals. They did that based only on whether they were boys or girls.Stereotypes are problems when beliefs that people have about groups are not necessarily true. Have you ever heard anyone say that "Men are better drivers than women"? Statements like this take a group of people and give all of them the same behaviors or characteristics. I know men who are good drivers, and I know women who are good drivers. It's not fair to judge all people in a group by a stereotype. We need to remember that everyone in the group is an individual who has different abilities, interests, strengths and behaviors.30. The example of different toys for boys and girls is mentioned to show that_________.A. boys and girls prefer different toysB. boys and girls are treated unfairlyC. people sometimes mix children's likesD. people have fixed ideas on things31. Which of the following stereotypes is useful?A. Making friends by his appearance.B. Boys do better in science than girls.C. Youth easily do unreasonable things.D. Red signs on the road warn us of danger.32. The underlined word “ignore” in Paragraph 4 probably means _________.A. fail to noticeB. fail to trustC. fail to searchD. fail to face33. What does the writer want to tell us about stereotyping?A. Stereotyping is like a coin which has two sides.B. It helps our brain learn to deal with similar situations.C. Judging people by stereotyping them makes things hard.D. Trying to learn about and form some kinds of them stereotypes.BSouth China Mall Shopping Coupons(优惠券)Six Hours free parkingIf you spend ￥100 or more in our stores, you will receive six hours of free parking.

Daniel's MenswearC. the Books StoreD. DJ Music StoreCYou Are What You EatGenetic (基因的) engineering is the scientific change of the genetic material in a living thing. It allows scientists to identify specific genes, to remove them from a living thing’s chromosomes(染色体), improve them, analyze them, and possibly clone them, and to then reinsert the changed gene into the original living thing, or a completely different living things. Unlike traditional breeding (繁殖), where a desired quality would be bred within the same kind of living things, genetic engineering can insert desired ones into living things of different kinds. Wow ... did you catch that?Genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture. For example, by genetically engineered (GE) foods, anti-cancer agents, minerals and vitamins can be increased. Improved taste, shelf life, and better transport are all possible. Also, GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance(抵抗力), therefore, making the food safe for the consumers.But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their worries. Unlike Europe, in the United States labeling(贴标签)is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products. Most Americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating GE foods.The public is also concerned about the unknown health risks. With limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predict possible effects. Because most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body, it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions. Moreover, due to the lack of labeling, if allergies(过敏)develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them.There is also a major moral question in many minds. For many, the conflict is not if it is safe or not, but it disturbs them because it is unnatural and unnecessary. We are currently producing one and a half times the amount of food needed to feed the world, yet one in seven people are starving. So GE food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger. Many believe that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it.Scientists cannot foresee the possible effects of GE foods, yet we eat them every day without even knowing it. We already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentially harmful to us, to the Earth and to all wildlife? I think that the benefits are amazing, but until we know for sure how these foods will affect us, they are not worth the risk.27. According to the passage, traditional breeding is different from genetic engineering because________.A. traditional breeding changes the genes in the same kind of living thingsB. traditional breeding takes place within the same kind of living thingsC. traditional breeding is more scientificD. traditional breeding changes the genes in different kinds of living things28. According to Paragraph 5, GE food is unnecessary because ________.A. customers will benefit from GE foodB. we’re now producing more food than beforeC. it won’t help solve the problem of hunger in the worldD. there are obvious dangers in producing GE food29.Wha t is the writer’s writing purpose?A. To introduce genetic engineering’s positive contributions to agriculture.B. To welcome genetic engineering and GE food. C. To discuss the differences between GE food and other food. D.To tell people to keep GE food off before their influence on us is clear. D Round eyes, round head, round ears, round body! What is this lovely little animal? He looks like a bear. But he isnot a bear. He’s a KOALA.People in Australia love koalas and take care of them. They have set up places for them to live safely. No one can kill them for their pretty fur. When a koala is born, he has no fur. And he is not as big as your little toe！The mother koala has a pocket in the front of her body. The baby goes into this warm pocket. There he stays for six months.When the baby leaves the pocket, he has much fur. And he is about as big as your shoe. He climbs to his mother’s back. He rides there while she teaches him how to find food. Mrs. Koala is a loving mother. She takes good care of her baby. But when he is bad, she beats him! The baby cries just as a small child does. If he keeps on crying, his mother beats him again. When he stops crying, she takes him in her arms. And then they both go to sleep for a while.The koala could not live without a special kind of tree. The tree gives him both his home and his food. For most of the day, the koala sleeps in the tree.At night, the koala looks for food. He may go miles to find it. He likes only the bark (树皮) and the leaves of the tree. He eats nothing else. And he eats more than two pounds each night!It’s a pity that thousands of koalas were killed by bush fires months ago in Australia. We should protect the environment and care more about wildlife, and then we will see the smiling faces of lovely koalas again,59.

Thousands of koalas hid themselves safely in the bush fires months ago.D. There are no differences between our food and koalas’ food.EDoctor Seuss was born in 1904. By the middle 1950s, he had become one of the best-loved and most successful children's book writers in the world. His books are very popular with young readers. They enjoy the invented words and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants.In 1954, life magazine published a report about school children who could not read. The report said many children's books were not interesting. Doctor Seuss strongly hoped to help children and decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read. He used words with the same ending sound, like fish and wish. He did not receive training in art. Yet, he drew the pictures for most of his books.In 1957, Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat. He used less than 230 words to write the book and even asix-year-old should be able to read it. It was a fun story and easy to read. Children loved it. Their parents loved it, too. Today it is still one of the stories they like best. The success of The Cat in the Hat made him want to write more books for children. In 1960, he wrote a book using less than fifty words. The book is called Green Eggs and Ham.In 1984, Doctor Seuss won a Pulitzer Prize (普利策奖). He was honored for the education and enjoyment his books provided American children and their parents.He died at the age of 87, but his influence remains. Millions of his books have been sold worldwide. People say his books helped change the way American children learned to read. Yet, his books are loved by people of all ages. Doctor Seuss once said, "I do not write for children. I write for people."65. Doctor Seuss learned from the magazine that _________.A. some school children could not readB. many children's books were interestingC. children wanted to learn to readD. a writer for children was wanted66. Doctor Seuss_________ to make his book interesting and easy to read.A. sold his books in large outdoor theme parksB. used words with the same ending sound and drew picturesC. sold his books with some free toys to the childrenD. used as many simple words and sentences as possible67. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Doctor Seuss wrote books only for children in the United States.B.Doctor Seuss wrote Green Eggs and Ham with more than 230 words.C. The Cat in the Hat was written only for six-year-old children.D. His books provided education and enjoyment for children and parents. 68. From the text we know that Doctor Seuss_________. A. won a Pulitzer Prize soon after his death B. sold millions of his books himself worldwide C. changed American children's way of reading D. wrote the largest number of books in the world F Has anyone ever told you that eating carrots will help you see in the dark? This is just one of many incorrectbeliefs you may have heard. Below, TEENS has picked out scientific explanations for three mistakes that people make about their eyes. Let's take a look.Can eating carrots improve your eyesight?Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which helps the eyes to turn light into information for your brain. This allowspeople to see in darker places. However, eating more carrots won't help you see better. A certain minimum amount will help, but a large number of carrots will not give you superhuman vision.If your parents have bad eyesight, will you have bad eyesight, too?Myopia( 近视) can be passed from parents to children. A study by the American Optometric Association found that if both parents are myopic, there's a 33 to 60 percent chance that their child will be. For children who have one parent with myopia, the chance is 23 to 40 percent, and it's down to 6 to 15 percent for kids with non-myopic parents. So if your eyesight is bad, your children might still have good vision.Do color blind people see the world in black and white?Color blindness doesn't usually mean that people see the world like an old movie. They usually can't tell certain colors apart, especially green and red. Another commonly confused pair of colors is yellow and blue. Our eyes have cone cells (视锥细胞) that sense different wavelengths of light. If these cells don't work properly, color blindness occurs. There are different levels of color blindness. Some people are only color blind in low light. However, in the most serious form of color blindness, everything is shades of gray.26. According to the article, eating carrots________.A. stops the brain from seeingB. doesn't help you see better at allC. will help you see clearly in the darkD. is good for your eyes to some degree27. If both parents have myopia, their child's chance of having good eyesight is________.A. 40-67%B. 33-60%C. 23-40%D. 6-15%28. The underline word“occurs”in this passage probably means________.A. 恶化B. 发生C. 改善D. 加深29. What is the cause of color blindness according to the text?A. Watching movies for too long .B. Getting too little exercise.C. Cone cells not working properly.D. Changes in the wavelength of light.30. What is the purpose of the article?A. To offer some advice on protecting your eyes.B. To clear up some misunderstandings about our eyes.C. To provide help for improving your vision.D. To explain how bad eyesight and color blindness form.GFrom video games and museums to medical training, VR(virtual reality, 虚拟现实)has been changing our livesfor the better. However, this wonderful new technology has a so-far unsolvable problem: It may make people feel sick from the VR experience. The feeling of sickness, caused by VR, is called cybersickness."With modern VR systems, the possibility of cybersickness after only 15 minutes' experience is from 40 to 70 percent," Thomas Stoffiregen, a researcher at the University of Minnesota, US said. This sickness is probably caused by sensory conflict (感觉冲突)，explained Stoffregen. When you are wearing a VR headset, your body's motion sensors cannot match the information received by your eyes. For example, when we wear a VR headset and ride a virtual roller-coaster, we think we are going up and down, but our bodies stay still. It leads to the loss of balance. Sickness is from our bodies' natural reaction to the experience. Adding to this problem, women are more likely to feel sick from the VR experience than men.According to a study by Bas Rokers, a scientist at the University of Wiscons in-Madison, US, one reason could be the headsets. To work properly, VR headsets must match up with your PD (pupil distance, 瞳距). Since they are designed larger PD, not everyone gets the best experience. Rokers found the larger PD distance is, the greater discomfort will cause. Based on his studies, about 90 percent of women have a shorter PD than the headset is made and that's the reason why women are more likely to have cybersickness.Cybersickness prevents the widespread use of VR technology. Once it becomes comfortable and easy to use, however, it could play a great role in our lives.8. Which is Right about cybersickness?A. It's a common problem with VR technology.B. It is caused by one's poor sense of direction.C. It's more possible for young people to feel sick.D. It only happens to women and children.9. The example of riding a virtual roller-coaster is used to _________.A. tell what it is like to have cybersicknessB. explain how cybersickness is causedC. tell people how to avoid cybersicknessD. show how cybersickness influences people10. Why are women more likely to have cybersickness?A. They have a poor sense of direction.B. VR headsets are only made for men.C. VR headsets are too large for their PDs.D. They are easy to lose balance.11. What does the writer think of the VR technology?A. The VR technology has already played a great role in our livesB. There is still something to do before VR technology plays a great role.C. The VR technology is comfortable and easy to use for everyoneD. It's impossible for VR technology to be popular in the future.A【2020 •广东省】Once there were many thousands of Gourma Desert (沙漠) elephants in Mali, a country in West Africa. Now, there are fewer than four hundred.Why did the number of the elephants drop so quickly? On the one hand, the elephants’ main lake, their only water source (来源), dried up. On the other hand, the land which the elephants lived on was overused by humans.To protect the elephants’ living environment, the Mali Elephant Project (MEP) was started in 2007. MEP met with local people and helped them make rules of using land and water. As a result, the situation became better and there was more food, forest and grassland.However, from 2012 to 2016, poaching (偷猎) and illegal trade in the elephants increased rapidly. Eighty-three elephants were lost in 2015 alone, and another fifty-one elephant were killed in 2016. “If this situation goes on, all the Gourma elephants will be killed by 2020,” said a member of MEP.Luckily, the voice of MEP was heard. More organizations (组织) have joined together to educate the local people that trading elephants is against the law. Elephant poaching has dropped to a very low level. The local people have learned to live peacefully with the elephants, one of the wildlife treasures in the world.26. MEP was started to ________.A. raise more elephants in MaliB. stop the main lake from drying upC. discover water source for elephantsD. protect the elephants’ living environment27.

At other times, it can be very hard to see the everyday chemistry at work, but nearly everything you touch has some chemicals (化学物质) in it.②Chemistry helps to make products for use. Something as simple as toothpaste has at least three chemicals that keep your teeth clean. Other things in your daily life are created by chemistry, such as hair products and soap. Without chemistry, we would never have known that we need soap to get the oil out of clothes.③Chemistry also helps us understand the world around us. Thanks to chemistry, we know bleach (漂白剂) can't be mixed with vinegar (醋), because the mixture can produce harmful gas.④Chemistry plays a big role in food preparation. Cooking food causes it to go through a chemical change. That is the reason why cooked food often tastes different from uncooked food. Too much or too little of any chemical material makes a difference to the result of baking (烘焙). For example, the cake can be too soft or too hard.⑤Chemistry isn't something that just lives in a laboratory; it's something that you meet hundreds of times in life. Knowing how chemistry works will give you a greater understanding of the life.31. What can the chemistry in soap help us?A. To clean the teeth.B. To make the teeth strong.C.

In China, the 24 solar terms were created thousands of years ago to guide agricultural(农业的)production. But solar term culture is still useful today to guide people's lives through cultural activities and special foods that go with each term.Great Heat, the 12th solar term of the year, begins this year on July 22 and ends on August 6. During Great Heat, most parts of China enter the hottest season of the year. Here is something you should know about Great Heat.Great Heat is a season of harvesting(收割). During this time, the sunshine, high temperatures, and heavy rainfall are good for the plants. But many natural disasters also happen. So, it's important to harvest and plant in time.Sending the Great Heat ship is a tradition in Taizhou. The ship is full of all kinds of meat. More than 50 fishermen take turns carrying the ship as they walk through the streets. The ship will finally be pulled out of the port and burned at sea. People believe that is a symbol of good harvests and health.Great Heat is a season with most crickets(蟋蟀)in the countryside. Cricket fighting is popular game for some people in China during this period. The custom dates back over 1,000 years ago.People in different places enjoy different food. For example, in southern Shandong, people would like to drink mutton soup. Grass jelly is very popular in Guangdong because there is a saying “Eating grass jelly in Great Heat will make you stay young.”41.

It's said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. A few thousand years later, Lu Yu, "the saint of tea", mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea.Nowadays, according to different processing ways, there are mainly four kinds of Chinese tea. They are green tea, black tea, Oolong tea and scented (有香味的) tea. without fermentation (发酵), green tea keeps the original color of the tea. If the green tea is fermented before baking, it will be black tea. Oolong tea is partially (部分的) fermented. And if fragrant flowers are mixed in the tea during the processing the scented tea will be made.Tea is produced in many different areas in China.

Ben knows that this day honors animportant man, but Ben does not feel connected to him. However, the small-world theory (理论) connects Ben toDr. King. Ben’ s mom (0) has a close friend, Amy (1). Amy’ s uncle, Mark (2), once met and spoke to John Ca (3), the son of President Jimmy Carter (4). Jimmy Carter knew Dr. King (5). In a way, Ben is onlyaway”from Martin Luther King Jr.The small-world theory says that everyone in the world is connected through a short chain (链条) of peoplethey know. Another name of this chain is degrees of separation. Each degree is a step that separates a person fromsomeone he or she does not know. There are zero degrees of separation between a person and the people he or sheknows directly. This means that there are zero degrees between Ben and his mom. There is one degree ofseparation when just one person separates someone from a person he or she does not know. Ben knows his mom,but he hasn ’ t met her close friend Amy. Therefore, Ben is one degree away from Amy. As the chain continues,Amy’ s uncle, Mark, is two degrees. John Carter is three degrees, and his father is fo ur degrees. Dr. King is fivedegrees away from Ben. The theory says that there are no more than six degrees of separation between any twopeople in the world.The small-world theory has a lot to do with math. The theory assumes ( people. Each one of those 100 people knows 50 different people. Each of假定 ) that each person knows 100 those 50 people knows another 50people, and so on. When someone continues the calculation to six degrees, it is like this: 10050×50×50×50 9×50 = 31.25 10×. This number is greater than 31 billion (a billion = a thousand million). There are over 6 billion people in the world. These numbers show it is possible that six degrees of separation could include everyone inthe world.Does the small-world theory work? No one has ever proved it. Maybe the theory just invites people to thinka little more about their places in the world.52. Ben is two degrees away from __________.A. Jimmy CarterB. John CarterC. AmyD. Mark53. What is the meaning of“ degrees of separation”in Paragraph 2?A. The chain to connect people.B. The relations between people.C. The steps of knowing strangers.D.
