A[2022·潍坊市高中学科核心素养测评]Winter sports are constantly evolving and new sports activities are regularly being created. This makes sure your next holiday in the snow is an unforgettable experience.SnowbikingThe snowbike—a cross between a bicycle and skis—guarantees pure fun and a unique skiing experience for snow fans above six. Snowbikes can be used on wellcaredfor slopes (斜坡) and riders navigate the slopes with the additional help of short foot skis. And it can be ridden without the rider having previous experience.FreeridingThere is no other winter sport that gets you closer to nature. Due to the truly unaffected character of the slopes, snow and weather conditions have to be taken into special consideration when you're freeriding. Therefore, it is very important to be accompanied by a professional guide who knows the skiing area inside out and who is able to correctly assess the weather conditions.SnowshoeingSnowshoeing is the perfect activity for those who want to explore the untouched winter landscape. The snowshoes distribute the weight of the person carrying them over a larger area so that the feet only sink lightly into the snow. Handling snowshoes is easy and does not require any previous experience: Simply fasten your snowshoes, pick up your sticks and off you go!SnowtubingSnowtubing is an activity for winter fans of all ages and involves sliding downa snowtubing slope in a rubber tire. Snowtubing tracks are often located close to a ski lift. This gives people the opportunity to immediately go back up the mountain after the ride. The activity is the perfect and fun end to a day of skiing.1．Which activity is the most demanding for skiers?A．Snowbiking. B．Freeriding.C．Snowshoeing. D．Snowtubing.2．What do Snowbiking and Snowshoeing have in common?A．They need no skiing experience.B．They depend on special skis.C．They are suitable for people of all ages.D．They take place on slopes with deep snow.3．Why are Snowtubing tracks usually close to a ski lift?A．To attract more tourists to get involved.B．To prevent the rubber tire sliding down.C．To create a fun ending to a day of skiing.D．To help skiers get to the starting point easily.B[2022·南通市高三第一次调研测试]Laurie Horam never thought of himself as musical. At home, his dad never listened to music, and one of his boarding school teachers labelled him tonedeaf. But last month he started to play the harmonica (口琴) on the streets of Bradford. People clapped, danced and threw coins into his case for the local food bank. Horam caught himself thinking, “How, at the age of 79, do I come to be playing music to people on the streets？”The question preoccupied him, because, some years ago at a family gathering, Gavin, his eldest son, said，“You know what, Dad? It can't be coincidental. We must have got our musical abilities from you.” Horam has three sons and they cover a range of instruments. He was surprised. “There can't be music in me, because I c an't play！” he said.Eight years ago, Horam, a retired civil servant, was on his way back from a tripwith his family. Gavin stopped at a music shop. He walked out and said, “Here you are. I bought this for you, Dad. It's a harmonica. I'll try to show you how to play a bit.”They went to a session at their local pub. Gavin played the guitar and Horam sat in the corner with his harmonica, trying to make a sound that no one would hear. After six months, he was invited into the group. He discovered a talent for improvisation (即兴表演), responding to a note within a millisecond without batting an eyelid. “I don't play by ear. I play by heart.” Actually, Horam says, “My harmonica plays me—how I feel, what I am, and what I've been.”Music has enriched life with frien dship and made Horam feel“part of something much bigger”than himself. “At a time when the circle of life might be shrinking, mine is expanding，” he says. “Maybe we never know completely who we are or what we can do.”4．Why did Horam play the harmonica on the streets of Bradford?A．To recall the good old days.B．To beg food from passersby.C．To realize his childhood dream.D．To collect money for charity.5．What is Gavin's attitude to his father's musical ability?A．Positive. B．Disapproving.C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.6．What does playing the harmonica allow Horam to do?A．Enjoy the quiet.B．Listen to his heart.C．Express himself.D．Sharpen his hearing.7．What does music bring to Horam?A．A lost soul.B．A comfortable life.C．A broader circle of life.D．A new perception of family.C[2022·甘肃省第二次高考诊断] Chinese volleyball superstar Zhu Ting has inspired a new English word. “Stay awesome and ZHUperb ! ” wrote a blogger at a USbased volleyball website. The word combines “Zhu” and “superb (卓越的)” to describe the 27yearold player.Zhu's excellent scoring performances put her among the Top 10 Global Outstanding Athletes for 2019 Heracles Prize of the Big Ben Award. As the captain, Zhu “created the new golden age of women's volleyball in China” , the award said. Zhu is considered a national hero by many in China with good reason. Before the victory in the 2019 FIVB World Cup, she helped the national volleyball team win the 2015 FIVB World Cup, the 2015 Asian Women's Volleyball Championship, and the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.Although she's a superstar now, it hasn't been easy for Zhu to get to where she is. Born into a farming family in Henan Province, Zhu earned a chance to attend a local sports school at the age of 13. She became well known to the public by helping China's U20 team win the 2013 FIVB Volleyball Women's U20 World Championship. Shortly after that, Zhu joined the national team and began playing under the legendary coach Lang Ping.At first, the 1.98metertall Zhu found it difficult to move quickly and stay balanced. But Lang Ping took advantage of her height and trained her to jump high and smash balls. Her work paid off. Zhu is now an outstanding player. “Hard work and talent are equally important. I'll move forward step by step，” she told People'sDaily.8．Why was “ZHUperb” created?A．To create a new game.B．To introduce a volleyball website.C．To describe the volleyball superstar.D．To celebrate her winning of the FIVB World Cup.9．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A．Zhu Ting's training.B．Zhu Ting's personal qualities.C．Zhu Ting's achievements.D．Zhu Ting's future plan.10．When did Zhu Ting become famous to the public?A．In 2000. B．In 2013.C．In 2015. D．In 2016.11．What was the purpose of Lang Ping's plan for training Zhu Ting?A．To build up her confidence.B．To make use of her advantages.C．To train her to be the captain of the team.D．To instruct her to move forward step by step.D[2022·合肥市高三第二次教学质量检测]Bridges are a common sight in the Netherlands. But four bridges are particularly unusual: each 26foot structure was fashioned from concrete by a giant robotic printer. They are part of a revolution (大变革) that is seeing 3D printers move from the tabletop to the construction lot.3D construction printers work a lot like homeoffice ones, except instead of ink they spit out concrete. Nozzles (喷嘴) run back and forth on rails, with computers controlling the time and speed, so that a layer of concrete is laid down where needed. By the time the slowmoving nozzle reaches the end of its path, the layer has usually hardened just enough to lay down another on top of the first, building up, layerbylayer, a homesized wall. With a precise pattern of deposit, the nozzle can leave space for windows, doors, and other design and structural elements.It takes about 24 hours of printing to build a 500squarefoot singlefloor home. “The printing process can complete the structure and finish the inner and outer surfaces at the same time，”says Jason Ballard, cofounder and CEO of ICON, an Austin, Texas company. “That normally takes 20 people representing five or six different trades to work several days.”3D construction printers are also less wasteful. A typical home construction site generates about four tons of waste. Because the concrete used in conventional construction is applied uniformly, regardless of whether it's needed for structural support in a particular area or not, about half of the concrete is wasted. 3D printers, however, can vary the thickness of a structure with great precision, using concrete only where it is really needed.So far, printing buildings has been a modest, lowcost affair. For instance, ICON printed a house in Austin, Texas, intended for families, at a cost of $10，000, and has a contract to print a total of six. Then it plans to take a printer down to Latin America to build 50 lowcost homes there.12．Why does the author discuss the nozzle in Paragraph 2?A．To analyze why the nozzle is so important.B．To confirm 3D construction printers are slow.C．To explain how 3D construction printers work.D．To argue the precision of the nozzle needs improving.13．What does Jason Ballard say about 3D construction printers?A．They are highly efficient.B．They are a little complex.C．They increase the building cost.D．They will replace builders one day.14．How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed?A．By making a contrast.B．By giving examples.C．By describing a process.D．By analyzing causes.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Printed Bridges Become a Fashion in the NetherlandsB．3D Printing Technology Is Key to Housing ProblemsC．Your House Is Going to Be Greener in the FutureD．Your Next House May Come Out of a 3D Printer第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

A(2021·石家庄二中高三模拟)(导学号58210046)If you could have one superpower，what would it be?Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds，see through walls，or have superhuman strength may sound silly，but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in your life.Every day in our work，we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world.They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess：the power to make a difference in the lives of others.We're not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor.Your lives are busy enough doing homework，playing sports，making friends，seeking after your dreams.But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself.Find an issue you are interested in and learn more.Volunteer or，if you can，contribute a little money to a cause.Whatever you do，don't be a bystander.Get involved.You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you're older.But why not start now?Our own experience working together on health，development，and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives.It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.【语篇解读】作者始终被身边致力于改善世界的人激励着，他也不断超越自己，努力挂念别人。

CB(2021·重庆七中高三学情检测) When an editor called to ask if I could photograph a story about fireflies in Mexico,I didn’t check my schedule before I said yes.I’d seen these insects light up the forests in Tlaxcala once before,and I jumped at the chance to go back.While studying,I began exploring Mexico,crossing the country several times by bus.Now I work as a photojournalist in Mexico and along the border,documenting desperate situations that rarely seem to improve for everyday Mexicans.Though necessary and important,news stories don’t reflect the Mexico that I fell for and that is home to so many people I love.An assignment focused on the country’s natural beauty was a welcome reprieve.I had three nights to film the magical scene in the forest.According to our guides,visitors are usually not allowed to photograph the fireflies because the presence of artificial light from electronics can affect their habits.As I started shooting,I adjusted my exposures constantly to account for the fading light.In order to get the composition that I wanted,I placed my tripod (三脚架) on a steep,rocky path and had to steady it during the long exposures.Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal,but the fireflies were very interested in the camer a and,by extension,in me.I stood completely still while they crawled (爬) all over me—my arms,my hair,my face.From what I observed,peak firefly presence happens for only about 20 minutes each night,so I had time for just a few tries.On the last night everything came together.The weather cooperated.I had improved my method for focusing and composing in the dark with quick flashes from a powerful flashlight—and I’d grown accustomed to insects on my face.I was rewarded with the image you see here.Each dot of light is one of several bursts thata firefly makes as it travels within a 30-second exposure.You can trace the insects’ paths: Some make small loops (环),like those in the bottom centre of the frame,while others move steadily in one direction or another.24.How did the author feel about the editor’s request?A.Upset.B.Delighted.C.Confused.D.Embarrassed.25.What can best replace the underlined word “reprieve” in Paragraph 2?A.Relief.B.Return.C.Trend.D.Victory.26.What did the author focus on during the first two nights?A.Learning about the local travel rules.B.Researching the habit of the fireflies.municating constantly with the guides.D.Finding the suitable spot and time to photograph.27.What is the purpose of the text?A.To tell stories about fireflies.B.To introduce a photo to readers.C.To record a travelling experience.D.To show the author’s working conditions.CShould we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question,we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive.However,there may be other reasons—for example,economic reasons—why they should be preserved.So,let’s assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view,new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an olderstyle.Indeed,there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much,it often improves attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in,but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward.If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,though that might be the more risky choice.28.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A.Some of them are not attractive.B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.29.Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.30.By “move things forward” in the last paragraph,the author probably means “”.A.destroy old buildingsB.put things in a different placeC.choose new architectural stylesD.respect people’s feelings for historical buildings31.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain why people dislike change.B.To warn that we could end up living in caves.C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.D.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.DDuring those barren winter months,with windows overlooking long-dead gardens, leafless trees,and lawns that seem to have an ashy look about them,nothing calms the uneasy nerves more than the vibrant green of plants surrounding the living spaces of one’shome.People browse through garden stores just to get a smell of chlorophyll (叶绿素) and to choose a plant or two to bring spring back into their winter-gray lives.Now there is even more of a need for “the green”,in light of recent articles warning us of the dangers of chemicals that we,ourselves,introduce into our homes.Each time we bring clothes home from the cleaners,we release those chemicals into the closed-in air of our homes.Every cleanser releases its own kind of fumes.Some of the chemicals are formaldehyde (甲醛),chlorine,benzene,etc.Read the labels on many home products,the ingredients aren’t even listed! During the winter,when those same windows are shut tight,we breathe in these chemicals—causing symptoms much like allergies (过敏).In fact,most people probably dismiss the effects of these chemicals simply as some allergy or other.The truth is that we are experiencing a syndrome that is called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.Now,what has this got to do with green plants? Everything is healthy! Research has been conducted with two types of plants that have actually removed much of these harmful chemicals from the air.The two plants that seem to be the best bet for ridding one’s home of such chemicals are ferns (蕨类植物) and palms.These plants release moisture as part of photosynthesis and,as they do,pull chemicals from the air into their leaves.Even NASA has conducted some greenhouse experiments for long-term space exploration.Within hours,their plants [palms] had removed almost all traces of formaldehyde in the room.Both species of plants are ancient,dating back more than a hundred million years.Another trait they share is that they both live long lives,100 years or more.This we expect from trees,but ferns and palms are plants; plants that can grow to 65 feet in the proper setting! Even their individual leaves live for one to two years [ferns] and one to nine years [palms].Perhaps it is their primary qualities that have contributed to their ability to purify their environment.32.Why does the author think we are in greater need of “the green” in our homes?A.To bring our long-dead gardens back to life.B.To get rid of harmful chemicals trapped there.C.To make us feel calmer and less worried.D.To serve as decorations as well as refresh us.33.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The source of thes e chemicals released in our homes hasn’t been identified.B.The chemicals can be removed immediately as soon as the two plants are put into use.C.People tend to underestimate the effects of the chemicals in the closed places.D.People usually buy household products without referring to the ingredients on them.34.As for the two plants,their primary qualities friendly to indoor environmentinclude .A.the ability to absorb chemicals and live longB.their adaptability to indoor environmentC.the fast growth and attractiveness of their leavesD.the release of their moisture and fumes35.Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A.Research in the New Millenniummon Houseplants May Purify Your HomeC.Hidden Dangers in Your HomeD.NASA Experiment Finds the Cure第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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。

选项中有两项为多余选项。
The vast majority of parents expect their children to grow up to be healthy, happy, and productive members of society. ____36____ If we don’t give parenting everything we’ve got, our kids will wind up unemployed, living in our basements, and there will be no one to blame but ourselves. That’s what I like to call the “perfect parent myth”.The standards of perfection for parents these days are extremely high. Perfect parenting expectations begin with a drug free natural birth. Once our young are born we must breastfeed each baby for years. If we can’t breasted, we must at least feed on demand. ____37____ Let’s also not forget to organize our children’s days so they are engaged in educational pursuits in case they fall behind the curve (弯道). We must be involved in every aspect of our children’s schools. There is no free time for the perfect parent. ____38____These standards are unreasonable. They’re also crazy. Parents can’t be perfect. Why? Because we’re human and so are our children. ____39____ They are predictable and when they are unruly we can shut them down. Parenting is nothing like that.____40____ But, by the parent being less than perfect, the child will need to adapt and develop skills to overcome little disappointments. There is flexibility and room for real-life mistakes and limitations to our parenting abilities.A. We must make our own baby food.B. They are pushing themselves too far.C. Robots would be much easier to parent.D. There is only unlimited devotion to our children.E. A good enough parent meets the needs of their children.F. Parents have no enough time to live up to these high standards.G. To meet those goals, parents are told that they must spare no effort.2022届江苏省七市（南通、泰州、扬州、徐州、淮安、连云港、宿迁）高考二模英语考前适应卷（解析版）第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)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。

I would spend a lot of time outside there following my grandfather around while he did yard work. We would collect cool-looking rocks and refill the hummingbird feeders.I always remember my grandparents calling me over to the window when a deer family was in the yard or a few hummingbirds were at the feeders so that I could watch them. I would explore around in the yard by myself sometimes to look for interesting rocks and if I was lucky I would find a turtle. If I did find a turtle, my grandfather would put it in the kiddy pool for me to observe for a few minutes. I was always amazed by these creatures. After I finished observing the turtle, my grandfather would pick it back up and return it to the bush I found it in. I would watch in amazement as it slowly stuck its legs out and crawled back under.I always felt very at peace at my grandparents’ home. It was quiet and full of interesting natural things I never got to see in Illinois. They disturbed the land around them as little as possible and didn’t see it as nuisance (令人讨厌的东西), rather a beautiful view.As Aldo Leopold, an American scientist, puts it, we should take the time to appreciate and observe thenatural world around us. When we do this, we find it brings us happiness and has a great value beyond just that of resources. Conservation(n.保护) of the natural world is important because we are dependent upon it for life. We cannot worsen such a bountiful provider at such a rate in which it will never return to anything like what it once was. Our experiences with nature are what will drive us to reach this conclusion, if only everyone took the time to really involve themselves in it.4．What does the writer mainly talk about in Paragraph 2?A．His interest in rocks and animals.B．His connection with natural world.C．His daily routine in summer vacation.D．His close relationship with Grandparents.5．What does “a bountiful provider” refer to in the last paragraph?A．Nature.B．Illinois.C．The small forest.D．Grandparents’ home.6．What is the writer most likely to get across?A．Past experiences should be treasured.B．Nature offers man a journey of discovery.C．Quality time with family is of great value.D．Into the nature, you will know how precious it is.7．In which forum would you most likely find the text?A．Family Matters B．On the Road C．At One with Nature D．The Economist（2023·河南高三阶段练习）CThese days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.Green building means “reducing the effect of the building on the land”, Taryn Holowka of the U.S. Green Building Council(评议会) in Washington, D．C．, said. According to Holowka, building accounts for 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use.But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don’t destroy forests.Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country’s first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, “We’ve reduced our energy use by one-thirdand our water by 50 percent.”The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. “On the face of the building we have solar panels(光板) which change the sun’s energy into electricity,”Dettling explained.The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, “It’s going to be big.”8．A green building means ________.A．a building that uses no electricityB．a building that saves energy and waterC．a building occupying less landD．a green-colored building9．A green building is often built on an area of land________.A．which has already been for buildingsB．which has thick forests aroundC．where people of high income liveD．where traveling around by car is most convenient10．When Holowka says in the last paragraph, “It’s going to be big”, she means that green buildings________. A．will be more comfortableB．will be more environmentally friendlyC．will become popular in futureD．will take the place of traditional buildings11．Which is the main idea of the passage?A．Dettling designed the first green building in the U.S.B．Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design.C．The Solaire serves as a model of high buildings.D．Green buildings help save the environment.（2023·广西桂林十八中高三开学考试）DA study has shown how ecotourism in the Philippines has changed people's attitudes towards marine conservation.Researchers from the University of Victoria and other institutes in Philippines, visited three sites wheretourists pay to swim with whale sharks in the wild. They interviewed a range of locals in Oslob, Donsol and Pintuyan, including fishers and ex-whale shark hunters. At Oslob, the largest of the three sites, people were more likely to speak about the resulting improvements to their quality of life and an increase in job opportunities. At the smaller, less profitable sites, responses were more likely to be about the changes in how people behaved towards the sharks.Dr. Jackie Ziegler, leader of the team of researchers, said, “Many of the people we spoke reported they now care about and value whale sharks because of tourism activities. They also expressed the community’s emotional connection to the species and the strong need to protect them. Before the introduction of tourist activities, most of the locals admitted to harming the sharks by hitting them with stones or riding them.” In terms of attitudes towards the wider marine environment, the majority of respondents now actively encourage others to care for the ocean and they also use more sustainable fishing practices.The study also acknowledged the potential negative effects of tourism on the marine environment, such as impacts on the health of local coral reefs and of the sharks. It concluded that further studies were needed to assess these impacts before firm conclusion could be drawn regarding the positive impact of whale sharks tourism on ocean conservation.Nevertheless, the researchers say their work suggests ecotourism can be an effective means of strengthening protection. “Bringing in the views of the local tour operation to the study was necessary in uncovering the true impact of whale shark touristm and the wider benefit to the ocean conservation in the Philippines,” Dr Ziegler added.12．What were the local people concerned least according to Paragraph 2?A．Improvement of life.B．Behaviours towards sharks.C．Increases of work chances.D．Relationships between people.13．Which word can best describe locals’ action towards marine life before ecotourism?A．Protective.B．Satisfying.C．Unsustainable.D．Beneficial.14．What will be the focus of the future research on tourism?A．Influence on other marine species.B．Strategies for carrying out marine ecotourism.C．Types of ocean conservation.D．Importance of protecting the local whale sharks.15．What may be the best title of the text?A．Ecotourism Transforms Locals’ Attitudes to Marine Conservation.B．Ecotourism Does Much Good to Marine Life as Before.C．Marine ecotourism Gives Rise to a New Kind of Business.D．Ecotourism Has Brought Large Benefits to People.二、七选五（2023·浙江·镇海中学高三阶段练习）Hope for Solving Our Seas’ ProblemsThe world’ oceans, more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface, are filled with problems: Overfishing, warming and acidifying (酸化的) waters, plastic pollution, a loss of abundance and diversity. ____16____ But it's of great importance. To care about the ocean in the 21st century is to feel conflicted: despairing what's been lost, optimistic about what we can save.David Doubilet is a photographer who has already spent more than 27,000 hours underwater. ____17____ There is an image where Doubilet holds a photo he's made on the same reef, in the same spot, in 2009 — and what that reef looked like nine years later.

And he believes his work documenting all of this — the good and the bad — can inform and inspire.“The time in the sea has given me a priceless perspective,” he says. “I can make pictures that bear witness. Pictures have this power to educate. But he is careful not to show only pictures that make people feel bad —“____19____”That’s the message of this issue: ____20____ As Doubilet puts it; “With hope, there's always the ability to change. Whether we choose to drive a hybrid car or not, whether we choose to turn down the temperature, whether we use sustainable energy. Above all, there is hope.”A．We need pictures that also show hope and resilience.B．There is reason for hope and a lot that each of us can do.C．It was like a bunch of corals, and I went back to a boneyard.D．He has photographed the story about the changes to coral reefs.E．Yet Doubilet remains hopeful that we can turn a lot of this around.F．Finding solutions, or even reasons for optimism, can seem a demanding task.G．There you'll find ideas for addressing the problems and being part of the solutions.三、完形填空（2023·山东·曲阜一中高三开学考试）Several months ago, a tornado fiercely hit our city without any signs before.

2022高考英语苏州市二轮复习资料：阅读理解02含解析
2022高考英语苏州市二轮复习资料：阅读理解02含解析(三)A(2011·昆明质检，A)I recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical achievements. A newspaper reporter interviewed him why he was able to be so much more creative than the average person. What set him so far apart from others?He responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he dropped the slippery bottle, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor—a real sea of milk!When his mother came into the kitchen，instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up？”Indeed, the boy did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. How would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵)，a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer？” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said，“You know，what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it. ”The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could make it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes.当记者采访一位富有制造性的杰出科学家什么缘故他与众不同时，这位科学家说这一切源于2岁时妈妈给他上的一课，从中我们能够意识到孩提时代的教育方法的重要性。

"You were after this."I shook my head, "No,believe me.I got this mail by mistake in my box today.I was just bringing it to them." He gave me a funny look and went back into his house.I got the knock on the door the next morning by two very polite officers.The annoyed tall man had phoned the police and told them I was a crazy old woman going around mixing up everyone's mail.Before I could finish telling them about what was going on,the officers had watched a dog approach my mailbox with mail in his mouth.He took out the mail that was in my box and put letters in.He pushed the door closed with his nose,picked up the new pile of mail he had gotten from my box,and repeated this all the way down the next street.We all started laughing.The dog had belonged to a mail carrier who had died.No one thought to check（the carrier lived alone）on the man's dog.The dog had been trained to put mail in and take mail out of the boxes.When he got loose,he assumed his duties.I went by to talk to the annoyed tall man to fill him in on what had happened.He was very pleased when he realized I was not a mail thief.He did,however,adopt the little guy.4.Why did the tall man give the author a funny look______A. To show his disbelief.B. To express his curiosity.C. To contain his annoyance.D. To hide his embarrassment.5.How did the police officers discover the truth______A. By analyzing the case.B.

A mail serviceB. A dog's taleC. Special deliveryD. Noble dutiesCI remember when Kamala harries became Joe Biden's running mate.It seemed funny how many people pronounced her name incorrectly.On one occasion,a news host became upset when being corrected,and purposely called her Kumbaya.I am no stranger to this issue as many of my students are from Asian and Middle Eastern countries,and sometimes their names are difficult for me to pronounce,even after asking them how to say it.Many students seem unwilling to correct me when I attempt to learn their names correctly.The other thing I've seen in growing numbers is students "adopting" an English name. It's much more common than many think,for people to change their names in order to fit in.This is especially the case when it comes to seeking jobs.Racial and cultural minorities often attempt to avoid discrimination hiring by hiding racial cues on the resume including changing their name.This is referred to as "résumé whitening".Research shows almost 50 percent of black and Asian job applicants did so.Xian Zhao from the University of Toronto researches ethnic（种族的）name pronunciation,saying that many people don't understand that habitually pronouncing an unfamiliar name inaccurately is a form of indirect discrimination.It sends a message that "you are the minorities"，says Zhao. "You are not important in this environment,so why should I take time and my effort to learn it" On the other end,those with ethnic names frequently don't correct people,even when their name is pronounced wrong repeatedly,feeling it is better just to keep the peace and not stand out for being difficult.It is important to try to pronounce everyone's name as they pronounce it.This communicated respect of them as a person and their culture.There is nothing wrong with asking someone to repeat their name so that you can learn to pronounce it properly.This is usually appreciated.8.When their names are incorrectly pronounced,the author's Asian students ______ .A. attempt to laugh at itB. tend to accept itC. offer to correct the authorD. agree to change their names9.Which of the following can be seen as "resume whitening"______A. An application for a better job.B. A change in work environment.C. A ban on racial discrimination in workplace.D. A practice of using Western names in job seeking.10.In his research,Xian Zhao finds that ______ .A. ethnics accept their names being mispronounced to save troubleB. ethnics fight effectively with the discrimination against their namesC. many westerners pronounce ethnic names incorrectly on purposeD. many westerners make efforts to pronounce ethnic names correctly11.What's the author's attitude toward pronouncing ethnic names correctly？______A. Critical.B. Uncaring.C. Reserved.D. Supportive.DFor generations,depression has been seen as an illness,disorder or even weakness.Such an idea makes sense because depression causes suffering and even death.But what if we're got it all wrongThe common wisdom is that depression starts in the mind with abnormal thinking.That leads to symptoms like headaches,stomachaches,or tiredness.Now,models like the Polyvagal Theory suggest that we're got it backward.It's the body that detects danger and initiate a defense strategy meant to help us survive.That biological strategy is called immobilization,and it demonstrated in the mind and the body with a set of symptoms we call depression.When we think of depression as unnecessary suffering,we are telling people with depression that they are not part of the group,they are not right and they don't belong.That robs them of hope.But when we begin to understand that depression,at least initially,happens for a good reason we lift the shame.Instead,people with depression are courageous survivors,not damaged sick people.The autonomic nervous system（ANS）is constantly scanning our internal and external environment for signs of danger.If our ANS detects a threat or even a simple lack of safety,its next strategy is the fight or flight response,which we often feel as anxiety.Sometimes the threat is so bad or goes on for so long,that the nervous system decades there is no way to fight or to flee.At that point,there is only one option left：immobilization.The immobilization response is the original biological defense in higher animals.It dulls pain and makes us feel d is connected.Think of some reptiles（爬行动物），which shut down their bodies to avoid cold temperatures and the lack of food and water.In humans,people often describe feeling "out of their bodies" during extremely unpleasant events,which has a defensive effect of reducing the emotional shock.This is important because some things are so terrible,wedon't want people to be fully present when they happen.What incredible capacity of our biology to find a way in hard times!12.Why does the author mention the Polyvagal Theory______A. To offer a standard for identifying depression.B. To raise people's awareness of mental problems.C. To make sense of how depression affects people.D. To correct a commonly held idea about depression.13.What can we infer from paragraph 3______A. Depression can bring people in crisis hope.B. People may feel it wrong to have depression.C. Depression is an unnecessary human emotion.D. People often feel proud of fighting depression.14.What is "immobilization" in the text？______A. Building up anxiety.B. Rising to challenged.C. Shutting down action.D. Pulling through a crisis.15.In which order does our body react to an extremely unpleasant situation？______①seek to work out solutions②become aware of a threat③experience emotional shock④start defensived is connectionA. ②③④①B. ④②①③C. ②①③④D. ④①②③二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）When Failure Is a Good Thing Failure is an important process you can learn from. (1)Most people view failure as something that should be avoided at all costs. (2) It may have been an "F" we received on a paper or the high expectations our parents placed upon our shoulders that stopped us from trying.Award-winning psychologist and author,Ron Fried man,tells the story of how Sara Blakely,founder of spans,revolutionized the women's clothing industry and became a billionaire in his book,The Best Place To Work：The Art and Science of Creating an Extraordinary Workplace.(3) She had zero experience in the clothing industry,lacked an education in business and raised only ﹩5，000 to invest.When asked where she found the courage,she gave all credit to her dad.While most parents ask their kids, "How was your day？" when sitting down for dinner,Sara's parents asked her and her brother, "What did you fail at today" ache and every night.When interviewed by CNN's Anderson cooler,Sara said,"Instead of failure being the outcome,failure became not trying.It forced me at a young age to want to push myself so muchfurther out of my comfort zone." (4) It became more about learning and less about a personal weakness.If we view failure as weakness,we avoid stepping out of our comfort zone. (5) It does not define us,but instead matured us.I'm sure that there are many risks we would all take in our personal,professional and spiritual lives if we could get past a fear of failure.What has been the greatest lesson you have learned when taking a chance？Please share with us.A.And,most importantly,it means you tried.B.Let's take a look at how Sara faced failure.C.In reality,Sara's father had re-defined failure.D.Early on,Sara overcame a series of difficulties.E.Instead,we must remind ourselves that failure is an action.F.It is important to reflect on what can be learnt from failure.G.We tend to connect failure with a bad experience we had as a child.16.

Because we had just moved into a new neighborhood, I couldn’t imagine who it would be. When I opened the door, an old man stood there, who was dressed in dirty clothes and wearing dirty rubber boots. His hand hung a plastic bag.“Can I help you?” I asked.“Would you like to buy some fresh garden vegetables?” he said, his blue eyes full of hope.“Are they from your garden?” I looked inside his plastic bag and saw some carrots with soil.“Yes,” his voice was soft. “And I can get some apples from a tree in my yard. Would you like some of those,too? ”My heart softened, and I wondered if he was badly in need of quite a bit of money. With a sigh(叹息) I said, “Please step inside and I’ll get my money. ”The next day, he knocked at our door again. This time, my little four-year-old daughter got ther e first. “Oh, hello. Would you like to come in for tea? ” Without a second thought, the old man stepped inside and held out a broken basket with several bruised(擦伤的) apples. “From my tree,” he said, removing a worn cap. “You might like to make apple pie.”The three of us sat at the kitchen table and drank our tea. It was clear that my daughter liked hosting a visitor in her never-ending questions. “What is your name? Where do you live? Why are your clothes so dirty?”The homeless-looking man laughed as he answered each question. His name was Mr. Locket and he lived around the corner. His wife had passed away several years before, and his children all lived far away. He was lonely. His need for company(陪伴) had sent him door to door selling fruit and vegetables. Ours was the only door opened to him.Paragraph 1:When he finished the tea, he said he had to go home and promised to return the next day.____________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:Several years later, a small envelope was delivered to our home — a letter from the old man’s daughter.____________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 1:When he finished the tea, he said he had to go home and promised to return the next day. Making his way to the door, he turned and waved us goodbye. My daughter excitedly waited for his visit and made full preparations. Thenext day, the old man showed up in our house as he had promised. At the kitchen, he was amazed by all the preparations for him, including the apple pie. His eyes were filled with tears. We became friends. My daughter and I indeed enjoyed the company this old visitor offered us. Later on, we kept in touch by writing letters, for he had become too old to get around.Paragraph 2:Several years later, a small envelope was delivered to our home—a letter from the old man’s daughter.She informed us that our dear old friend had passed away. “I’m so grateful for your showing care to my father,” she wrote, “I can see how much you meant to him. Here is a letter from my father to you.” The letter goes like this, “Thank you for all your kindness to an old man. When I was lonely, you took me in. When I was badly in need of a family, you accepted me. In my last few years, my life had been filled with happiness because o f you.”。

B(2022·南京、盐城二模)That competition keeps prices down is well known.But it is hard to measure by just how much, because prices vary for all sorts of reasons, from differences in labour costs and rents to taxes.Rising to the challenge is a new paper in The Economic Journal by Giacomo Calzolari, Andrea Ichino, Francesco Manaresi and Viki Nellas，economists at the European University Institute, Bologna University and the Italian central bank.They looked at pharmacies (药房) and specifically at customers who may be particularly easy to rip off: new parents.Using data for to covering about a fifth of pharmacies in Italy, the researchers measured the way in which prices of hygiene products for babies changed as the number of babies varied.They took advantage of a peculiar law from the 1960s, according to which regions with at most 7,500 people are allowed just one pharmacy (supposedly to keep the quality of services high)．They compared prices in places with populations just below this threshold, and just above.The products studied included some 3,000 varieties of shampoos, bath foams, baby wipes, creams and so on.Many are also used by adults on themselves.Some people, for example, prefer suncream labelled “for children” because of its high level of protection.When raising prices for these products, even a pharmacist with a monopoly (垄断) must consider the risk that adult users will switch to products that are not aimed at children.But a rise in the number of babies, and hence buyers who are parents, could tip_the_scales towards price increases.By contrast, the pharmacist should already be charging as much as parents are willing to pay for products without adult users, such as nappies.The scholars found that pharmacists raised prices when there were more new parents —but only in regions with a single pharmacy, and not for nappies.In monopoly areas a doubling of the number of babies from one month to the next (not unusual in a small population) coincided with a 5% increase in the price of the basket of babyhygiene products.The study is timely.Italy's government has started to loosen some of the many restrictions that stop competition in the pharmacy sector (though not yet the one that the researchers relied on)．But such regulations are plentiful in many other lines of business, and not just in Italy.The consumers who pay the price are often those who find it hardest to travel to shop around —for example, people with crying babies on their hands.3．What's the purpose of the study?A．To review the function of the special law for pharmacies.B．To make clear the relation between competition and prices.C．To collect the information on pharmacy business in Italy.D．To gather the data on hygiene products for babies in Italy.解析：选B 细节理解题。
