This was a big step forward because at COP26 conference in Glasgow, Scotland, there were no talks on loss and damage at all. The plan is that richer countries will pay money into a special fund that will be used to help poor countries.Loss and damage means the damaging impact of climate change on developing countries. For nearly 30 years, poorer countries have been asking richer countries formoney to help to protect communities from the effects of climate change. Richer countries have produced the most greenhouse gases, but poorer countries are often the worst affected by extreme weather conditions because they are less well equipped to face extreme climate events.Brazil’s newly elected President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva made a speech about preserving the largest rainforest on Earth, the Amazon. During the last 50 years, more than 17% of the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed to make way for farms and towns. However, in his speech, Lula promised that there would be zero deforestation (伐树) in the Amazon by 2030. The conference didn’t just focus on world leaders. It brought together more than 45,000 people to discuss how climate change is affecting their lives. Climate refugees (难民) also had their voices heard. Tshilombo from the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya said, “Refugees don’t only flee becaus e of war or conflict. It’s also about drought, the effects of climate change.”Some countries weren’t happy with the overall outcome of COP27 because decisions weren’t made on cutting the use of fossil fuels, such as coal, gas and oil, etc. The UK Governme nt’s Alok Sharma said, “I’m incredibly disappointed.”However, this deal was a great achievement for developing countries. Sherry Rehman, the climate minister for Pakistan, said, “I am confident we have tuned a comer in how we work together to achieve clim ate goals.”；4. What is a successful outcome of the COP27 climate conference?A．The deal on loss and damage.B．The deal on using fossil fuels.C．The deal on rainforest preservation.D．The deal on helping climate refugees.；5. What has made it difficult for developing countries to fight against climate change? A．More greenhouse gases.B．Massive deforestation.C．Shortage of money and supplies.D．Terrible weather conditions.；6. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A．Climate change is influencing people’s live s.B．17% of the Amazon rainforest was destroyed.C．Many factors lead to the appearance of refugees.D．There will be less deforestation in the Amazon by 2030.；7. What would Sherry Rehman probably agree with?A．Never put off till tomorrow.B．Many hands make light work.C．Knowledge starts with practice.D．No way is impossible to courage.（三）What are you doing this weekend? Perhaps you're spending time with family, hanging out with friends, or maybe you're going to play a sport. All around the world, people chill out at the end of the working week and take part in leisure activities. In many countries, the weekend consists of Saturday and Sunday, while in others Friday and Saturday are the days of rest. In Afghanistan, Thursday and Friday form the weekend, while in one country, Brunei, Friday and Sunday are the days off.Have you ever stopped to wonder, though, exactly where it originated? And how is the concept going to change? The modern weekend took shape during the Industrial Revolution. In the early 19 century, in areas such as the north of England, people began to leave the countryside to work in towns and cities. There, new factories were springing up. Their working lives were once ruled by nature, with the amount of work depending on the changing seasons. Now, their employers demanded a different rhythm-a six-day week of up to 12 hours a day, followed by one day of rest.Campaigns for workers' rights appeared. By the end of the century they had managed to reduce the working week to five and a half days. This meant that working people could take an interest in hobbies such as photography, which was very new at the time. In the US in the 1920s, the industrialist Henry Ford helped to create the weekend. He gave all his workers Saturday and Sunday off work. His factories manufactured cars, and he wanted to allow his employees time to purchase and enjoy the cars they were producing.These days, in many countries, working a 40-hour week is normal. Many people have a nine-to-five job, but even that is rapidly changing. Technology enables more people to work from home and plan their own use of time. This means that an official period away from work is becoming less important. Perhaps in the future we will work fewer hours altogether. If we become more productive, we should be able to afford the same lifestyle by working fewer hours. It has been estimated, for example, that a worker in the US can achieve a 1950s standard of living by working just 1l hours a week. Some people have recommended a 21-hour working week to help with unemployment, climate change and inequality. However, a change like that may mean more leisure time but it will probably limit people's ability to earn money to enjoy it.8. What does the underlined word “originated” in the second paragraph me an? A．Relaxed. B．Started. C．Appeared suddenly. D．Stopped. 9. What happened as a result of campaigns on behalf of workers?A．People became more inventive.B．People worked fewer hours per day.C．People worked fewer hours overall.D．People found employment in leisure industries.10. The writer says an American businessman gave his workers time off so that A．he could produce more cars.B．they could spend money on cars.C．he didn’t have to pay them to drive.D．they would enjoy working with him.11. Why does the writer suggest the weekend may be less important now? A．Because we start work later than we used toB．Because nobody works over 40 hours a week.C．Because technology empowers individuals to arrange their own time. D．Because people are out control of their working week.二、七选五阅读Mondays are kind of annoying. 12 A recent survey says that most people get the pre-work “Sunday blues”. Starting your Monday feeling sad, anxious and unorganized is hardly the way to kick off a healthy week.The solution? Set aside a little time on Sunday to purposefully prepare yourself for the five days ahead, suggests women’s health expert Marsha Hudnall. 13Do some meal preparations.Figuring out what to have for dinner on weeknights can be surprisingly stressf ul. Stretching out a menu plan on Sunday and swinging by the grocery store for ingredients will help you eat well. Go a step further by chopping and cooking vegetables and a protein (like a roast chicken or scrambled eggs). 14 Or finally attempt a di fferent diet you’ve been meaning to try. For easy dinner planning, just order, and you’ll have a week’s worth of raw materials for delicious and healthy meals.Start a Sunday stress-relief habit.“To be healthy, we have to take care of body and mind,” says Hudnall. Stress has a major impact on health and our ability to concentrate. 15 Four ideas to try: a guided meditation with the help of an app; forest bathing－a practice known as shinrin-yoku in Japan, which basically means taking a long walk or hik e in a wooded area; gentle exercise like yoga; or time cuddling and playing with your pet.16Why not prepare your favorite clothes for Monday? Studies show that what you wear can have a significant effect on your mood. So make Monday the day you wear your favorite clothes or show the latest addition to your wardrobe (衣橱). It’s also a good idea to get some nice coffee or music ready, which will give you something to look forward to on your Monday commute.A．Give yourself something to look forward on Monday.B．Even Sunday afternoons turn sour as we think of the workweek ahead.C．Then all you have to do is heat and plate when you come home from work. D．Therefore, starting a Sunday stress-relieving habit can begin a week feeling strong and focused.E．Try creating a relaxing and winding down Sunday night so that you can recharge and get ready for Monday.F．Taking on just a few of these simple tips every Sunday will help you launch a productive, less stressful week.G．Wailing until the last moment to do weekend chores like paying bills or doing laundry can leave you anxious and stressed on Sunday.三、完型填空The stage lights dimmed (变昏暗), and I took a quick look from behind the heavy black curtains into the audience.

Where is the text probably taken from?A．An academic article.B．An educational website.C．A geography textbook.D．A travel brochure.BThe recent launch of ChatGPT, a chatbot created by Open AI for public use, has underlined the growing reach of digital technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) in working life. Like most technological revolutions that affect the workplace, chatbots can potentially create winners and losers and will affect both blue-collar and white-collar workers.ChatGPT is a natural language processing (NLP) tool that allows users to interact with the GPT-3 model using natural language. The model is trained on a great amount of data, which allows it to generate human-like responses to a wide variety of inputs.This type of AI can greatly benefit the productivity of skilled workers. Chatbots offer the possibility to automate (使自动化) boring and time-consuming tasks, such as writing standardized reports, meeting minutes and emails. Workers could therefore be freed to focus on more important and creative tasks. A chatbot virtual personal assistant could guide skilled workers through different projects or production processes. It can also generate original content and ideas, and potentially help to research and develop new products and services.But tools such as ChatGPT presents a real risk of skilled and semi-skilled workers losing their jobs. For example, chatbots can be developed to train employees in an organization, resulting in the unemployment of human trainers.Previous waves of technological change have created both winners and losers. Workers who are quicker to adjust to technological change will win by increasingly taking on tasks complementary (互补的) to AI while giving up automated ones.；4. This passage centers around the effects of AI like ChatGPT on .A．life B．entertainment C．sports D．work；5. Paragraph 2 mainly talks about .A．what ChatGPT is B．how ChatGPT is usedC．why ChatGPT is created D．who created ChatGPT；6. In paragraph 3, how many benefits of Chatbots are mentioned?A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.；7. According to the text, faced with technological revolutions, workers hadbetter .A．continue ahead with their automated jobs and work harderB．do other things while keeping up with the automated onesC．adapt to the change by doing other things to form a good combination with AID．give up automated jobs and just learn as much AI knowledge as possibleCTo deal with a big environmental problem, chemists have been thinking small. Really small. Their new tiny robot has one purpose: to help clean up tiny bits of plastic (塑料的) polluting waterways across the world.Each new microrobot is no bigger than the tip of a sharpened pencil. They are magnetic (磁的) and shaped like stars. When sunlight hits them, they produce chemical reactions (化学反应) that push them through water in a specific direction. When the y find a piece of plastic, they catch it and start to break it down. When the lights go out, they let go and are free to be used again. In a new study, the scientists reported that these robots can either break down a piece of microplastic or hold onto it to be collected later.Chemist Martin Pumera at the Czech University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague led the project. He studies ways to build microrobots. He says: “Let’s make them do something useful.”Pumera chose to center on the problem caused b y microplastics. It’s a big problem. These are tiny bits of plastic, usually no wider than the top of a pencil eraser. And they’re everywhere — from the bottom of the ocean to air blowing onto ice at the top of mountains. They’ve turned up in drinking wate r, both bottled and tap water. Some studies found that too many pieces of plastic end up in the world’s waters. Plastic doesn’t easily degrade (分解) or fall apart. That’s always been one of its study points.Pumera says his final goal is to make cheap and environmentally-friendly robots that can be used anywhere in the world. He thought that at first they might be most useful in plants that treat wastewater. There they can remove plastic before it reaches open water.In lab experiments, the star-shaped swimmers catch each of four different types of plastic. And after a week exposed (暴露) to light, the robots had reduced the weight of the plastics. It wasn’t much — only by 3 percent. But that was a sign they were breaking the plastic down.In fact, Pumera says they still have a long way to go. There are many types of plastics. And even these microrobots are unlikely to succeed in degrading them all.The researchers also have not yet shown how safe this system is for the environment, although Pumera says that’s t heir next goal. The first real-world test will be in a waste water-treatment plant.；8. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Microrobots. B．Stars.C．Pencils. D．Microplastics.；9. Paragraph 4 is mainly about .A．the experiment carried out by PumeraB．the functions that the microrobot holdsC．the places where microplastics usually turn upD．the reason why Pumera invented the microrobot；10. According to the passage microrobots .A．can break down plastics in the darkB．prove to be most useful in open waterC．do no harm to the environment at presentD．need further testing before they are put into use；11. What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To encourage people to find more solutions to pollutions.B．To present a new way of breaking down microplastics.C．To stress the importance of protecting the water.D．To explain a serious environmental problem.二、七选五阅读Camping is a fun and exciting experience, but to stay organized and safe, you must carefully prepare for the trip.12 . If it is just you or your family, things will become easier. However, if you are taking a group of friends, you’d better make sure you get insurance information and health information before you start.

With plenty of resources and opportunities, they embrace Chinese culture and are proud of it,” said Yao. “ 23 we need to do is present Chinese culture and tradition in interesting ways for those young people.”Yao added that Henan TV has been producing shows highlighting traditional culture, such as traditional operas and kung fu, for nearly 30 years.“ 24 (appeal)to younger audiences, we are also changing our shows. One of the keys is to produce content with strong visual creativity,” Yao said. “For example, the latest technology and unconventional stage settings, like underwater scenes, have become our new ways of telling stories about traditional Chinese culture, rather than simply narrating history with traditional video content.”Another key to successfully 25 (reach)younger audiences is using social media platforms to promote their shows.“Social media 26 (shape)and driven by young people. It’s a powerful form of communication. When they take a quick scroll through their phones, they easily become interested in an eye-catching video,” Yao said.四、完形填空Mice are at their best at night. But a new analysis suggests researchers often test the nightly creatures during the day, which could alter results and create 27 across various studies, if they record time-of-day information 28 . Scientists assume that waking up lab mice in the daytime may twist research.Of the 200 papers examined in the new study, more than half cither failed to report the timing of behavioral testing or did so 29 . On the contrary, they found only 20percent reported 30 testing. The analysis was published in Neuroscience & Bio-behavioral Reviews.West Virginia University neuro-scientist Randy Nelson, the study's lead author, says this is likely a matter of human 31 . “It is easier to get students and schools to work duri ng the day than at night,” Nelson says. But that advantage 32 .“Time of day not only impacts the intensity of many 33 , including mice activity, aggressiveness of their behavior, and hormone levels,” but changes in those factors can only be 34 during certain parts of the daytime cycle, says University of Wyoming behavioral neuro-scientist William D．Todd. This means that “failing to report time of day of data collection and tests makes 35 of results extremely difficult,” adds Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center staff scientist Natalia Machado. Neither Todd nor Machado was involved in the new study.36 , the study researchers say it is critical that scientists report the timing of their work and consider the fact that animals' behavioral and physiological responses can 37 with the hour. As a first step, Nelson says, “obviously, taking time-of-day into consideration seems like 38 fruit in terms of line assing behavioral neuroscience research reliability, reproducibility and rigor (严谨性)University of Calgary psychologist Michael Antle, who was also not involved in the analysis, says such differences in how studies are run 39 a “reproducibility crisis” in science, with other laboratories unable to 40 study results. “Running a study at the wrong time,” he says, “could lead to us completely 41 a finding altogether.”27.

I met the Man of the Trees in summer ten years ago, when I was visiting Uncle Jita.Those were difficult times. People were cutting down our forest, and there was often flooding. Sometimes our water supply was dirty. When our pump(水泵)did have clean water, we had to wait in line for ages. When the pump wasn’t working, we had to walk five kilometres to the closest stream.But I was happy. I was going to see my favorite uncle. When the day finally arrived, Dad drove me to Uncle Jita’s house and left. Once he saw me, Uncle Jita announced, “Tomorrow we’re going to explore a magical place. Here is my camera, Amy. You can take photos of what you see.”The following day, we woke up and left early on a boat. The trip was exciting. But when we got off, there was ... nothing in front of us. “I don’t want to t ake pictures of this,” I complained.Uncle laughed,“Start walking, Amy. I promise you’ll be surprised.” After some time, I could see the outline of a forest in the distance. A little closer, there was a man waving to us.“That’s Kabir. The forest you see is his. He planted every single tree.” As we walked towards Kabir, Uncle explained that thirty years ago, the whole area was a wasteland. But one day Kabir decided to change all that and started planting trees. Thanks to him, part of the wasteland is now a paradise(天堂).Uncle introduced me to Kabir, who had gray hair and a determined face. “Jita told me you like animals. Are you ready to see some?” he asked. “Of course!” I replied. We continued walking and soon were under the trees. I turned my head and was amazed at the difference between the two places. All because of the efforts of one man.Like Uncle said, Kabir’s forest was magical. We saw deer, rhinos, and even tigers. During lunchtime, Kabir explained how, by planting trees, it was possible to stop the land from eroding(侵蚀).注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

For other mice, the same sight can be reason to sing.Mice will probably 21 sing their way to any concert, butresearchers in the United States have found 22 that mice do, 23 , sing.Scientists already knew that mice make ultrasonic(超声波)sounds —noises that are too high-pitched(高音的) for people to hear 24 special equipment.To find out whether mice put such sounds together in song-like 25 , the researchers recorded the sounds of 1 mice. Using computer 26 , they were able to separate the sounds into specific types of syllables(音节), and found the mice produced about 10 syllables per second. The results showed that nearly all of the mice repeated sequences(顺序) of syllables in different patterns. That’s enough to meet thedefinition of what scientists 27 song.

A representative of Free the Children gave a speech at my school, sharing, this story I will never forget. Craig Kielburger was 12 when he came across an article about a boy of his age who escaped from child labor and was murdered for speaking about his experiences. Craig was upset and took the article to school. He asked who would help him and with a group, of friends, started Free the Children.Craig traveled to countries where he saw child laborers and poverty firsthand. He also started giving speeches to people three times his age. He was even nominated(提名) for a Nobel Peace Prize and received the Nelson Mandela Human Rights Award. His organization has already helped over a million children.I could not believe a kid three years younger than me had accomplished so much. His story motivated everyone who heard it to do something about the problems of the world.That first burst of awareness faded, but a year later an organization at my school announced a meeting about social justice. Mare Kielburger, the elder brother of Free the Children's founder, came to my school to speak and for the second time I heard the story how Craig started the organization, but this time from a person who had been there since the beginning. Mare described his visits to underdeveloped countries and the influence on his life, telling us how we could make a difference. I was completely attracted.Free the Children had set up campaigns that help children get education, medical care and food. When our advisor asked if we' would like to get involved, we responded with a unanimous yes.Our group set to work realizing our goal of helping build a school by raising $6,000. It was a great challenge, but if other children had done it, so could we. I began to volunteer as a tutor at a grade school. It's tough sometimes when the children don't cooperate. But I think about all those children who can' t get an education and realize it's all worth it.Every child should get an education and Free the Children has helped me understand that. Devoted to the rights of children, it has also helped me see that I can do something to help other children. I have the power to change the world and I'm going to use it. I think when the studentsat our school see what their money has done. They will realize they can make a difference, too.41. What made Craig make up his mind to set up the organization Free the Children?A. He was inspired by a speech given at his school.B. He was greatly shocked by an article about the death of a child laborer.C. He wanted to travel round the world to help the child laborers.D. He had the same experiences as the boy mentioned in the article.42. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Both Craig and Mare came to the author's school and made wonderful speeches.B. Free the Children was started to win the Nobel Prize for Peace.C. Free the Children aims to help poor children around the world.D. Free the Children was founded by the author and the Kielburger brothers.43. What's the meaning of the underlined word "unanimous" in para.5?A. unwillingB. AbsoluteC. inconsiderateD. uncertain44. We can learn from the passage that________.A. Mare was given the Nelson Mandela Human Rights Award for his work.B. the little author's goal can never be achieved.C. grade school students are easy to get along with.D. everyone can make his efforts to help others.45. The best title for this passage is likely to be________.A. We Can Make a DifferenceB. Building a SchoolC. Helping Child LaborersD. The Kielburger BrothersBTwo hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world's largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife. The streams, lakes, meadows(草地), mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats(栖息地) are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos' natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy(大自然保护协会) named the area one of America's "Last Great Places" .Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancy's Bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.Altemose's family has fanned in the Pocono area for generations. Twoyears ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family's land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson. Cook attributes the Conservancy's success in the Poconos to having alocal presence and a commitment to working with local residents. "The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community," Cook said. "The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort."For more information on how you can help the Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world's other "Last Great Places," please call1-888-564 6864 or visit us on the World Wide Web at . 46. The purpose in naming the Poconos as one of America's "Last Great Places" is to_____.A. gain support from the local communityB. protect it from irresponsible developmentC. make it a better home for black bearsD. provide financial security for future generations 47. We learn from the passage that________. A. the population in the Pocono area is growing B. wildlife in the Pocono area is dying out rapidlyC. the security of the Pocono residents is being threatenedD. farmlands in the Pocono area are getting smaller fast48. What is important in protecting the Poconos according to Gook? A. The setting up of an environmental protection website. B. Support from organizations like The Nature Conservancy.C. Cooperation with the local residents and business leaders.D. Inclusion of farmlands in the region' s protection, program.49. What does Bud Cook mean by "having a local presence". (Line 1, Para. 5)? A. Financial contributions from local business leaders.B. Consideration of the interests of the local residents.C. The establishment of a wildlife protection foundation in the area.D. The setting up of a local Nature Conservancy branch in the Pocono area. 50. The passage most probably is _____. A. an official document B. a news story , C. an advertisement D. a research report CSome houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.Located on the shore of Sullivan's Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace onesmashed to pieces by Hurricane (飓风) Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina's shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building codes wasn't strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created. the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo's wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better—enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan's Island should be able to withstand a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.At first sight, the house on Sullivan's Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble "a large party lantern (灯笼)" at night, according to one observer. But looks can be deceiving. The house's wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength.To further protect the house from hurricane damage. Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber(7(木头) pilings (屋基)—long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges (波涛汹涌) to run under the house instead of running into it. "These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings," said Huff.Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed(隐藏)by the house's ground-to-roof shell. "The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn't look like it's standing with its pant legs pulled up," said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.51. After the tragedy caused by. Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carolina's shore line are required________.A. to be easily reinforcedB. to look smarter in designC. to meet stricter building standardsD. to be designed in the shape of cubes52. The award-winning beach house is quite strong because_______.A. it is strengthened by steel rodsB. it is made of redwoodC. it is in the shape of a shellD. it is built with timber and concrete53. Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to __________ .A. withstand peak winds of about 200 km / hrB. anchor stronger pilings deep in the sandC. break huge sea waves into smaller onesD. prevent water from rushing into the house.54. The main function of the shell is ________.A. to strengthen the pilings of the houseB. to give the house a better appearanceC. to protect the wooden frame of the houseD. to slow down the speed of the swelling water55. It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be _____.A. fancy-lookingB. waterproofC. easily breakableD. extremely strong参考答案完形填空21-30 CBDDC DABAA答案与解析导读：这是一篇科普文章，文章讲到家对于老鼠进行研究，从中发现他们也有自己的音律表达。

高三英语晚自习限时训练

高三英语晚自习（限时训练）一、阅读理解AThe following 4 famous paintings, from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece, have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism — while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gog h’s most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It describes the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.GuernicaGuernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish paint er, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting shows the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war.1. What is special about The Starry Night?A．It was set in a conventional hospital.B．It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941.C．It was donated to a museum by a collector.D．It is a romantic work in the early 20th century.2. What can we infer from the name “Guernica”?A．It was a war symbol.B．It was named after a painter.C．It reflects different people’s lives.D．It reminds us of a kind of war atmosphere.3. What’s the purpose of writing this passage?A．To describe four scenes. B．To expand painting knowledge.C．To praise four well-known artists. D．To introduce four famous paintings.BIt scarcely seems surprising that learning to underline a modal verb, such as “can”, and “may”, does little to help students use them effectively in their own writing. The se words are anyway grasped by tiny children without the need to know what they are called. This may tempt the conclusion that the teaching of grammar should be shelved altogether. But there are reasons to reform it rather than throw it away.Understanding of language is part of a wider education in what makes human beings human. How concepts are turned into sounds, and how those sounds combine to form commands or questions, are issues that have occupied many language experts. What they reveal about the mind has exercised psychologists and cognitive scientists.There are practical reasons to ask children to work hard at grammar, too. One is that a knowledge of it will make learning a foreign language easier. Even if you did know by nature how to make clauses in your native languages as a child — just without instruction — getting to grips with them in German or Russian in later years is simpler if you know how to define and spot them. As it is, many English-speakers come to understand grammar by studying a foreign language, rather than the other way round.For grammarians keen on future jobs, the natural-language processing field is booming. After many years of poor results, technological wizards have developed programs for automated translation, speech recognition and other services that are actually usable, if far from perfect. These tools may rely more on knowledge of artificial intelligence than of the subjunctive, but linguistic expertise still matters, and may give beginners an edge over competitors whose best language is Python (一种编程语言).Grammar could still be taught better. One small study showed improvement in some students when concepts are linked concretely to writing tasks. A cook does not need to know chemistry to make a delicious soup. But the science of how words combine to make meaning is fascinating and fundamental.；4. Why do some people consider stopping teaching grammar?A．It’s unnecessary for kids to grasp modal verbs.B．Teachers’ teaching methods are far from satisfactory.C．Drawing lines under words fails to be effective in learning.D．Grammar Learning doesn’t bring obvious effect to writing.；5. When it comes to future jobs, grammarians believe .A．a good command of Python is enough for programmersB．the field of artificial technology still shows great promiseC．being expert in language means advantages in competitionD．computer geniuses will invent perfect tools to process language；6. What is the author’s attitude towards grammar teaching?A．Positive. B．Negative. C．Objective. D．Skeptical.；7. What’s the main idea of this passage?A．Grammar teaching shouldn’t be stopped but reformed.B．Scientific study of human beings benefits from grammar.C．Grammar helps children to learn foreign languages better.D．There’s much room for im provement in grammar research.CRecycling plastic has always been a stop-start effort, and the wide variety of plastics we produce, the pollution from waste, and other limitations make recycling aneconomic(经济) problem. It’s estimated(估计)only 9% of plastic ever created has been recycled. But with the help of a chemical process, Canadian Miranda Wang and her company BioCellection want to change that.Stability is one of plastic greatest qualities and downside. There's limited evidence that some plastics can biodegrade (生物降解)but largely photo-plastics degrade in the sun. It’s a long process, and the truth is that we can only estimate how long it takes. Wang is looking to break the inaction and BioCellection's task is to make most plastic waste recyclable.She outlines two current methods. One is to take plastics like water bottles, wash them, cut them, melt and reconstitute them. “That's a very limited process” she says, due to the requirement that plastics be “clean” . The other, which can handle dirtier p lastics and a level of pollution, is called hydrolysis(热解). Intense heat is applied to break down plastics so they can be reused as oils for energy, but “it’s not economical,’’ she says.BioCellection’s solution builds on research from over ten years ago, Wang explains, when a US study discovered pure polyethylene powder (聚乙烯粉)could be broken down by a catalyst (催化剂). Wang and her co-founder Jean hit upon a bacterium being able to eat plastic. In the years since, they engineered a comparable catalyst capabl e of doing the same job, only faster, which even works on plastics no one else can recycle at present. “We have now found a catalyst that is much cheaper than the one that was used before, Wang says.Currently focusing on plastic films like shopping hags, the three-hour process breaks clown plastic into chemicals that can act as the building blocks for more complex plastic products.“Right now we’re able to achieve about 70% transformation from plastic waste material to these chemicals,” she adds, saying they’re working to increase that figure.8. Why has so little plastic been recycled?A．Plastic is chemically stable. B．Recycling plastic led to pollution. C．We produced various plastics. D．Most photo-plastics degrade in the sun.9. What does Wang think of the two current methods?A．Highly effective and dynamic. B．Expensive and pollution-causing. C．Limited and energy-consuming. D．Widely used and recognized.10. What did BioCellection find effective to recycle plastics?A．Polyethylene powder. B．Chemical products.C．Plastic films. D．A catalyst.11. What is the text mainly about?A．Miranda Wang and her company. B．A new plastic recycling method. C．The greatest downside of plastic. D．Transformation of plastic waste.二、七选五阅读How strong are you?That is a difficult question to answer, whether you are a man or a woman. But, really, I want to ask ... how do you define (定义) your strength? How do you know your limits? When pushed, we often discover that we are much stronger than we think.12Strength is not always just about physical strength. Rather, it's about willpower, discipline and drive. 13 I know some people who are intelligent, but they get verylittle done in their jobs. And I know others who find work very difficult, but are able to move mountains by their hard work. They have inner strength.Limiting yourselfWhat I have observed is that most people limit themselves. They limit their output according to how limited they imagine their abilities and strengths to be. Sometimes these limits are based on past experiences. Sometimes they are based on what they think their abilities are. 14Pushing it ...Many people are working out, but nowhere near as much as they could.15 Pushing yourself is what it takes to increase your limits. In the gym, bodybuilders discovered this long ago.But, this is also true when it comes to inner strength.Want to test your limits? Push yourself. Test your limits to see if they are simply what you imagine them to be. Make sure your goals are slightly beyond what you think can be achieved.You are stronger than you thinkMost people underestimate (低估) their strength. As you go through your day, test your limits. Push yourself to find your true limits and define your strength. 16 A．Physical abilityB．What is strength?C．The same applies to daily life.D．It's about the ability to get things done.E．Sometimes these limits are based on nothing.F．If you want to be stronger, you have to push yourself.G．When discovering how much you've really got, you may surprise even yourself.三、完型填空Years ago, a neighbour kid kicked a football and broke a small 17 of our house. We were a family living on a small 18 at the time, so I boarded it up, thinking I’d get to it someday.Over the years, I’d sometimes ask some advice from window companies. The plan was to upgrade to energy-efficient windows for the whole house, an 19 process—$ 15, 000. It was simply out of 20 and I turned it down again.21 , the thought of that window ate at me for years. Every time I went down there, it kept 22 me. I knew I needed to deal with it, but I had built up the 23 so much in my mind that I put it off again and again.Then my wife had a job 24 , and we needed to move. A 25 buyer couldn’t get a loan on the house if there was a 26 window. So I pulled off the boards to face this thing. It had already been for at least 5 years.I used some rust (锈) remover, sprayed all around the rusted frame, and gave it a27 pull. To my 28 , it easily moved. I pulled the window out and took it downtown. It was a 12 fix.I could have fixed the problem for 12 the 29 day when it happened. But I let it worry me for years. 30 , this isn’t just about my window. Many of us tend to livewith broken windows of one type or another for years. We suffer more in 31 than in reality. Step forward, and you’ll find a solution.17. A．roof B．window C．door D．curtain18.

高三英语晚自习限时训练

高三英语晚自习限时训练一、阅读理解AIcehouse and ice ticketAs early as Pre-Qin Dynasty, people used natural ice to keep food fresh and make cold drinks. The Zhou royal court had a specialized department called “ice administration”. They collected natural ice blocks each December to store in the icehouse. During th e Qing Dynasty, “ice tickets” were used and they were available only to officials and the rich.Ice containerThe most commonly used cooling tool is called “Jian”, which is a big container filled with ice. It was made of clay in early Chinese history, and was later made of copper (铜). The “Jian” can be seen as an ancient refrigerator, which can be used to make cold drinks.Hiding food in the wellDuring the Qin and Han dynasties, for common people, the most common way to cool off is by using their wells. Some families put a pot in the well as a cold closet, or put food in a basket and lowered the basket into the well with a rope.Herbal drinksDuring the Qing Dynasty, taking Chinese herbal medicine was popular in Beijing. In hot summer, some people preferred to drink ice water, some boiled perilla leaves, and liquorice as summer soup to keep off the heat. Ancient people also loved to make lotus seed soup in summer for the benefit of strengthening the body.1. What does “Jian” have the same function as?A．Container. B．Refrigerator. C．Clay. D．Copper.2. Which of the following is unavailable to common people?A．Ice tickets. B．Ice container. C．Hiding food in the well. D．Herbal drinks.3. What’s the common purpose of the above four ways?A．To strengthen the body. B．To keep food fresh.C．To escape the summer heat. D．To make cold drinks.BWorld’s First Hydrogen-Powered Train LineLast Wednesday, five hydrogen-powered trains began to make the 100-kilometer trip between Cuxhaven and Buxtehude in Germany. The trains make almost no noise and run without polluting. Germany is planning to replace many of its diesel (柴油) trains with hydrogen trains.Currently, most trains run on diesel power. When diesel fuel is burned, it creates carbon dioxide and other polluting gases. These gases have helped create the climatecrisis. That’s one reason why many countries are trying to find energy choices that pollute less.Hydrogen is the simplest known element. It’s also very common—74% of the universe is made of hydrogen atoms. Pure hydrogen is a gas that burns easily. Hydrogen can be. used to create electricity by combining it with oxygen in a “fuel cell”. The chemical reaction which takes place creates electricity. A fuel cell is like a battery that never runs down as long as it has hydrogen. The oxygen comes from the air around the train. The best part is that when a fuel cell creates electricity, it doesn’t create pollution. The only thing it gives off is water, which comes out as steam.There’s a hydrogen station on the line to refuel the trains. But since the trains can go about 1,000 kilometers before they need more fuel, they only need to fill up once a day. The trains can go as fast as 140 kph—about the same as the diesel trains they are replacing.In many places, hydrogen-powered trains are a smart choice for replacing diesel trains. The city of Frankfurt, Germany has already ordered 27 of the hydrogen-powered trains. Other countries are also interested. France and Italy have ordered several of the hydrogen powered trains. Germany will replace up to 3,000 of its diesel trains with hydrogen- powered trains.；4. Why do people develop hydrogen train?A．To reduce noise.B．To cut pollution.C．To improve transport.D．To solve the energy problem.；5. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?A．Advantages of hydrogen.B．The process of chemical reaction.C．The unpolluted characteristic of hydrogen.D．The popularity of hydrogen.；6. What can we infer about the hydrogen train from paragraph 4?A．It travels 140 km on one refueling.B．It should be refueled twice a day.C．It goes faster than a normal train.D．It needs very few hydrogen stations.；7. What does the author think of the future of hydrogen trains?A．Uncertain. B．Worrying. C．Promising. D．Difficult.CIf you have a dog, you probably spend a lot of time trying to figure out dog behavior. Like us, dogs are complex creatures, and it can be hard to know what’s behind your dog’s actions.When you’re asking them to sit or giving them a treat, eye contact means that their attention is on you and that they’re ready to listen. But sometimes your pup will look at you aimlessly. There area few reasons why your dog might stare at you — even when you don’t call its name or do something to get its attention.In general, dogs use eye contact to gain information and understand what humans want them to do, says Philip Tedeschi, professor and researcher on the human-animal bond. “Dogs use eye contact as reassurance and understanding in very similar ways that humans do, to ascertain interpersonal connection and reaction. This helps us connect with them as well,” he says.Science confirms that dogs use eye contact to express love. How do you tell if a dog loves you? Well, if he stares at you, it’s a good sign! “Just like humans look into each other’s eyes to show love, so does your dog,” says Tedeschi. “In fact, one study showed that the ‘cuddle’ hormone oxytocin (拥抱荷尔蒙催产素) increases in both humans and dogs when they exchange a loving look.”If the eye contact between a dog and a human is too long or too intense it might lead to discomfort in the dog — similar to the way two humans staring at each other for a longer period of time would make them uncomfortable, according to Tedeschi. So what do you do if your dog stares at you? Look back, but not for too long. Dogs get awkward, too!；8. What does it usually mean when your dog stares at you?A．It’s on guard against you.B．It’s longing to be hugged.C．It’s ready for your instruction.D．It’s confused about your order.；9. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “ascertain” in paragraph 3? A．Take part in. B．Make sure of. C．Come up with. D．Look forward to.；10. Why is “‘cuddle’ hormone oxytocin” mentioned in paragraph 4?A．To tell people when a dog expects for human love.B．To confirm dogs employ eye contact to convey love like humans.C．To show that a lot of people are working on this subject.D．To illustrate that dogs are just like human in exchanging emotions.；11. How will a dog feel if you stare at it for a long time?A．Beloved. B．Honored. C．Threatened. D．Embarrassed.二、七选五阅读Expressive writing or journaling is one way to help you heal from trauma (创伤).12 . It can help you process what you’ve been through and assist you as you envisiona path forward.Why does a writing intervention work? 13 In fact, narrating the story of an ongoing anxiety “frees up” cognitive resources. When you write down the emotionsassociated with a traumatic experience, you may be changing the way it is organized in the brain. You are then able to detach from the emotion, making it easier for you to talk about and process the event.However, for most people, the thought of acknowledging emotions and admitting that there’s something wrong with us is difficult. This is because expressing emotions can bring up feelings of guilt and shame. 14 That is what sets journaling apart. This is between you and your journal —you don’t have to share it with anyone unless, of course, you choose to.If you’re interested in trying out writing as a tool for healing, s tart your writing by setting a timer for ten minutes. 15 Think of one object in your home that signifies a moment for you. See it in full color. Feel the weight of it. Use all your senses. Now, write about that object and see how large its meaning can become.16 How you heal from trauma can be different from person to person as well.It all depends on what works best for you. Remember, one size does not fit all. Writing may not work for everyone, but you won’t know if you don’t try.【选项】B．Of course, expressive writing is hardly a panacea (灵丹妙药).C．Also, seeking help for emotional stress is often seen as a sign of weakness.D．It may seem abnormal that writing about negative experiences has a positive effect. E．Once you have a better handle on your problems, you can move forward and get on with life.F．It is writing from your heart and mind and about the emotion associated with a certain event.G．Let your mind go to the detailed, specific moments to get to the feelings and truthof your experience.三、完形填空Misty Copeland spends most days twisting, spinning and 17 .

Jessica asked. "A skeleton in the closet?" her mother paused thoughtfully. "Well, it's something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad's family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be 'a skeleton in his family's closet'. He really wouldn't want any neighbor to know about it.""Why pick on my family?" Jessica's father said with anger. "Y our family history isn't so good, you know. Wasn't your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?" "Y es, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners." "Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now," Jessica cut in before things grew worse.After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica's parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica's closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica's mother sank in a faint（晕倒）, waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter."What happened? Where am I?" she asked. "Y ou just destroyed the school's skeleton, Mum," explained Jessica. "I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad." Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. "They're both crazy," she thought.26. According to Jessica's mother, "a skeleton in the closet" means ______.A. a family honorB. a family secretC. a family storyD. a family treasure27. What can we learn about some Australians' ancestors from Paragraph 2?A. They were brought to Australia as prisoners.B. They were the earliest people living in Australia.C. They were involved in some crimes in Australia.D. They were not regarded as criminals in their days.28. Jessica's mother fell down into a faint because she was ______.A. knockedB. frightenedC. injuredD. surprised29. Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?A. She was curious about it.B. She planned to keep it for fun.C. She needed it for her school task.D. She intended to scare her parents.30. Jessica's parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ______.A. they were crazy .B. they were over excited .C. they realized their misunderstanding .D. they both thought they had won the quarrel .BThe Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which is a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.31. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To seek help for N auru’s problems.B. To give a warning to other countries .C. To show the importance of money.D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.32. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?A. Rich and powerfulB. Modern and openC. Peaceful and attractiveD. Greedy and aggressive33. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _______.A. soil pollutionB. phosphate over miningC. farming activityD. whale hunting34. Wh ich of the following was a cause of Nauru’s financial problem?A. Its leaders misused the money .B. It spent too much repairing the island .C. Its phosphate mining cost much money .D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war .35. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.B. The leaders will take the experts’ words seriously.C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans .D. The phosphate mines were destroyed .第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列职位的招聘信息：请阅读下列应聘者的信息，然后匹配应聘者与所拟应聘的职位46. Julie wants to return to work now that her son has started school.

2023届高三英语晚自习限时训练

2023届高三英语晚自习限时训练【3月30日晚，限时：不超过65-70分钟】一、阅读理解（一）Located in the tropical forests in Xishuangbanna, southwest China’s Yunnan province, the Asian Elephant Breeding and Rescue Center (AEBRC) is dedicated to giving careful and effective protection to wild elephants.Though the jungles provide rich sources of food and water for the elephants, they can also pose a threat to them if they become ill or injured, making it difficult for them to survive in the wild.In August 2015, a baby elephant that was less than one month old was abandoned by her herd at the d oorway of a farmer’s house in Simiao, Pu’er city. Vets from the AEBRC came and took the animal to their center for treatment. She was found to have intra-abdominal infections and heart failure. She was also at risk of blood poisoning.The baby elephant finally recovered after proper treatment by the keepers at the center. However, without the presence of her mother, she became malnourished (营养不良) due to a lack of breast milk. At that time, she weighed only 76 kilograms, much smaller than an average newborn elephant. The vets decided to feed her goat milk, and as she was born in the Chinese Year of the Goat, the elephant was named Yang Niu (“Yang” is Chinese for goat, and Niu means girl). The elephant is now about 6 years old, 1.8 meters tall and weighs 1.3 tonnes.Currently, there are 11 rescued Asian elephants living at the center and being cared for by 27 keepers, who spend more than 10 hours with them each day. Thanks to these efforts, the population of Asian wild elephants in the province has reached 300 from 150 over the past 30 years.The local government has designated (指派) a place as a source of food for the elephants so that they do less damage to villagers’ crops while looking for food. They’ve also monitored the elephants using technologies such as drones to keep track of their activities and prevent encounters between villagers and the elephants. The local government has also purchased commercial insurance for residents to compensate them if the elephants attack them.；1. What can be a threat to elephants’ survival according to the text?A．Lack of food sources. B．Illegal hunting.C．Physical problems. D．Destruction of forests.；2. What does the example of a baby elephant stress?A．The recovery of Yang Niu.B．The efforts made by keepers.C．The risks facing baby elephants.D．The importance of mother elephants.；3. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 5?A．The number of elephants endangered.B．The urgency of rescuing wild elephants.C．A steady growth of elephant population.D．A rising trend of animal overprotection.；4. Why has the government designated a place for elephants?A．To keep track of their activities.B．To prevent them from damaging crops.C．To save them the trouble of looking for food.D．To ensure the growth of the elephant population.（二）No one can resist the temptation (诱惑) of snacks. But at the same time, you may be underestimating how many calories a snack contains. What would happen if you had a bag of crisps (炸薯片) a day? Eating an extra packet of crisps a day could lead to a weight gain of 6. 35 kg after a year, The Times reported.People underestimate the number of calories in their snacks, with experts warning that eating a bag of crisps every day could lead to a stone of weight gain in a year. A survey of around 2 ,000 adults found that about three quarters underestimated the impact of what a small reduction could have. One in ten believed that cutting 200 calories a day would not affect weight. At the same time, many people didn’t seem to know exactly how many calories were in their snacks. When it came to snacks, people struggled, with 95 percent guessing that half a sharing bag of tortilla chips had 214 calories on average, almost half the true figure of 447.Can’t we resist buying snacks? The food environment is to blame. Even though we all know snacking is bad for our health, we can’t help but fill our shopping carts with snacks.Don’t always blame yourself for poor self- control, and supermarket shelves also have to carry this “pot” half.Hugo Harper, head of Nesta’s health team, said the pressure to resist high-calorie snacks should not be put on consumers and that our food environment needed. to be changed, He said,“Our environment has a real impact on what we eat, from advertisements and supermarket promotions to what ‘s available in our local corner shops.Hugo added,“If we had fewer cues to snacks, or were pushed to buy fewer high calorie snacks, we should be able to see real change.”New rules coming into force next month will restrict promotions on foods high in fat, sugar and salt in big shops.；5. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1?A．List some reasons. B．Introduce the topic.C．Put up an argument. D．Raise a question.；6. What can we know from the survey?A．One in ten people cut 200 calories a day.B．Many people knew how many snacks they ate.C．No one knew the calories the snacks contained.D．Most people lacked the awareness of snacks’ impact.；7. What may cause people to buy more snacks according to the text?A．The food environment. B．Living conditions. C．Consumption ability. D．Supermarket management.；8. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?A．A packet of crisps contains many caloriesB．People can resist the temptation of snacksC．The harm of snacks is beyond your imaginationD．2,000 adults got involved in a consumption survey二、七选五阅读Have you had a talk with someone, and think you are paying attention to him or her, only to realize shortly afterwards that you can’t remember what he said? Oh, perhaps you fail to focus while he is speaking and miss the message that he is trying to deliver. 9 : TVs, radios, traffic noises, telephones, laptops and so on which can make it difficult to listen with our full attention.But how can we listen more effectively? 10 . Professor Jon Kabat-Zinn said, “It’s time for mindful listening to come in. Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way, with a purpose, at the present moment and non-judgmentally.”11 ? Jon Kabat-Zinn describes three key elements of mindful listening that we can use to improve our listening skills.First of all, be present. When we listen mindfully, our focus should be on the person we are listening to without distractions. 12 . By doing so, we can understand a situation from someone else’s point of view. After all, we often see the world through our own experiences. Finally, listen to our own cues. Our cues are the thoughts, feelings and physical reactions that we have when we feel anxious or angry, and they can hold back ideas and perspe ctives that we’re uncomfortable with. Mindful listening can help us to be more aware of our cues. 13 .In conclusion, the rule is straightforward: simply “Listen”! Listen carefully and attentively. Pay full attention to the other person, and don’t l et other thoughts, like what we are going to say next, distract us.A．Then think in others’ shoesB．Researchers seem to have got itC．How can we deal with mindful listeningD．Modem life is actually full of distractionsE．But how can we apply mindful listening to our lifeF．Next, reflect on the experience you’ve gone throughG．Besides, it allows us to choose not to let them ruin communication三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

高三英语高效限时训练

高三英语高效限时训练姓名:___________班级:___________一、阅读理解ABeavers(海狸), like humans, change their surroundings to fit their needs. Known as nature’s engineers, they tear trees down to build homes to live in and dams to raise water levels for protection from enemies. Dams also slow water’s flow while blocking sediment(沉积物)that would otherwise flow downstream. The resulting wetlands often attract wildlife diversity where none had existed. There are challenges, though. Beaver dams sometimes cause flooding, and most people prefer trees alive and upright.Communities face a delicate balancing act, learning to coexist with beavers. Last winter, many people enjoying Winston Path became beaver fans as one furry family transformed Swallow Pond into an oasis for birds, frogs, turtles and deer.Yet such activity caused concern. As beavers worked, they raised water levels about five feet. The increased depth allows beavers to survive underwater if the pond ices over. But county officials were concerned about how higher water would affect the soil bank supporting Winston Path.To find a good balance between protecting the path and the beavers, the county introduced a“ beaver baffle”— a pond leveler.Beavers often rush to fill holes in their dams.Baffles stabilize water levels by creating a hidden exit for high water to escape through the dam, unnoticed by the beavers.People love the beavers but they also love the mature trees. Recently, Catherine Jones,18, organized a tree-caging event — putting wire cloth around large tree trunks to discourage beavers from biting them. It also protects people from injury due to random trees falling.“We cover the trees we don’t want them to eat, while planting periodically oth ers they like,“said Jones.“We need-to learn to give up a little of our wants to share the Earth’s resources.”Swallow Pond’s 2023 project will restore proper water depth and improve wildlife habitat without creating problems for the path. The balancing act continues.；1. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．Where beavers’ favorite surroundings are.B．What effects beavers have on their habitat.C．Why beavers are called nature’s engineers.D．How beavers help attract wildlife diversity.；2. Why did the beaver family’s activity cause concern?A．Swallow Pond would flood often.B．Sediment would flow downstream.C．The popular path might be damaged.D．Beavers might have to live underwater.；3. What do the underlined words“beaver baffle”refer to in paragraph 4?A．A block to keep beavers away. B．A tool to fix holes in the dams.C．A device to maintain water level. D．A material to protect the soil bank.；4. What is the theme of Swallow Pond’s 2023 project?A．Biological diversity. B．Harmonious coexistence. C．Prevention of natural disasters. D．Preservation of wildlife habitat.BThe safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage is considered an important part of sustainable development. Among the 629 UNESCO-listed traditions are five entries in Estonia, the most recent of which is the building and use of dugout canoes in the Soomaa region.Every year, before spring, Soomaa National Park transforms into an almost drowned world, when water from melting snow in the eastern uplands floods the low-lying forests, wetlands, roads and yards of the residents who still live here. The water level rose so high that villagers could roll a dugout canoe right through their windows and into their living rooms. Everyone has had to learn to adapt to the natural annual phenomenon.Building a dugout canoe requires a good trunk of an aspen, which grows throughout the forests of Estonia. Once cut down, the trees are peeled and shaped like a cigar using an axe. From here, the inside of the boat is carved out to give it shape. Builders cut the frame down to a few centimetres in thickness. A long log fire is then built alongside the canoe, which is filled with several bucketfuls of water and left to warm up. Once the water has evaporated, sticks are squeezed into the frame lengthways to open it up. Aspen is a soft wood and a trunk half a metre across can be expanded into a metre-wide boat. The boat is then left to cool in the shade and is traditionally finished the following spring, once the wood has fully dried, when it’s given its final design and covered with tar.Aivar Ruukel, one of only five Estonians who still preserve the skill, chooses to build them as a way to connect with the history, As a young man, Ruukel attended workshops led by two master boat builders, both in their 70s at the tim e. He hopes that by the time he’s 70 there will be more young people doing the same. Enthusiasts hope that its joining the heritage list will safeguard the ancient practice and attract the next generation of boatmasters to keep the tradition alive.；5. Why do villagers have to preserve dugout canoes?A．To survive floods. B．To go canoeing in the park.C．To learn about a natural phenomenon. D．To apply for intangible cultural heritage.；6. What’s the right order of building a dugout canoe?① The boat is left in the shade to dry.② The inside of the boat is carved out to give it shape.③ Builders warm up the canoe and open the frame up.④ The boat is given the design and covered with the tar.⑤ Builders remove the barks and make the trees into cigar shapes.A．⑤③②④①B．②⑤④①③C．⑤②③①④D．②③⑤④①；7. Which statement will Ruukel probably agree with?A．Young people shall become boatmasters.B．The practice will die out in the next generation.C．More people are needed to pass on the tradition.D．One cannot master the skill without learning history.；8. What is the best title for the text?A．Dugout canoes come to life B．Boat building industry in Estonia C．Cultural heritage protection in Estonia D．Dugout canoes in Estonia boat to future二、七选五阅读Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First set your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. 9 Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.10 Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class. 11 Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, and review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 12 If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. 13 A．Behave yourself at home.B．Find a good place to study.C．This will help you understand the next class.D．Then decide a good, regular time for studying.E．Make full use of class time to ask your teacher questions.F．Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.G．The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.三、完形填空Every week, Andy goes for a walk and about two miles away, his friend Gabe does the same thing at the same time.

A study in 2019 found that the possibility of terrible events like Hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico is now almost five times higher due to climate change.The storms were similar in many ways but had their own features. Maria was a Category (类别) 4 hurricane whose speed was up to 155 mph, while Fiona, a Category 1 storm when it landed Puerto Rico, was gentler, with winds of up to 85 mph, which later increased to 115 mph as the storm progressed through the island.And yet, the heavy rain caused by Fiona brought Puerto Rico to its knees. According to the data by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the slow moving storms brought 15.80 inches of rain over a 5-day period, slightly more than Maria at 14.72 inchesThis confirms another long-held thought that, with climate change, horrible storms will not only become more common but also wetter.That’s because the increase in temperatures is leading to more loss of water from the sea and warmer air can hold more water vapor (水蒸气). The average temperature all over the world has already increased by nearly 1.2℃ due to climate change and for each 1℃ of warming, the air’s ability to hold water is thought to increase by about 7%. The latest research suggests that the increase may be three times higher, at 21%.；4. What was a direct cause of more storms in Puerto RicoA．Loss of forests. B．Puerto Rico’s location.C．Human activity. D．Climate change.；5. Compared with Maria, what’s the feature of Fiona progressing through Puerto RicoA．It brought less rain. B．It moved a bit slower.C．It caused a longer power cut. D．It brought more deaths.；6. What do the figures in the last paragraph showA．Rainfall increases with temperature rising.B．Puerto Rico is a place raining all the time.C．Storms are common in Puerto Rico.D．Slower storms cause more damage.；7. What’s the best title for the textA．Puerto Rico: Survival of PeopleB．Puerto Rico: Frequent FloodsC．Climate Change: Wetter Puerto RicoD．Climate Change: Disasters on Their Way to Puerto RicoCSheneman, a 33-year-old artist, was first diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病) around five years ago, and she says it was a wake-up call. Since then, health has become a huge part of her life.What she realized while battling this condition, though, is that a lot of people weren’t aware of what she went through on a daily basis. “Which is crazy to think about because there are so many diabetics out there,” she said. So, Sheneman came up with an art project that would offer a deep understanding of what diabetics go through.On April 1, she started her journey, a 470-mile walk, from her college town of Cincinnati, Ohio, and her plan is to make it to her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, by the end of the month.Throughout this journey, people will be able to watch her glucose(葡萄糖) levels through an app that’s connected to her glucose monitor, the Dexcom G6. The monitor provides real-time alerts when her glucose levels vary too high or low.This journey is more than just showing people how physically difficult this walk is. “I want them to understand what it looks like to be diabetic and constantly checking and making sure that you’re eating the right things,” she said, adding that “just something as simple as stress can raise your blood sugar.”Sheneman was told by health professionals to do something simple, like walking every day. However, Sheneman, who grew up backpacking, wanted to test the limits of what was possible. “I think it’s important to understand that being a diabetic is not necessarily limiting you,” she said. “There’s just the most difficult part that you have to get over.”8. Why did Sheneman start the art projectA．To raise people’s awareness of diabetes. B．To raise money for all the diabetics.C．To advertise for her hometown. D．To get sympathy for herself.9. What should Sheneman pay special attention to during the journey A．The reactions and concerns of others. B．The app connected to the Dexcom G6.C．The variation of her glucose levels. D．The physical difficulty the walk causes.10. Which of the following best describes the life of a diabetic like ShenemanA．Colorful. B．Cautious.C．Artistic. D．Adventurous.11. What message does Sheneman seem to convey in the last paragraph A．Sport helps gain confidence in fighting diseases.B．We don’t have to follow the doctor’s advice.C．Nothing can stop one achieving their goals.D．Our path in life will not always be smooth.二、七选五阅读We know that choosing a college major can be very tough. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. Here’s what you need to know about college majors before you choose.What is a major12 Beyond general college requirements, you’ll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry, Literature, or Political Science.How important is my majorThe major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Many graduates find jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied in college. If you intend to earn a professional degree after college, you will probably need certain courses. 13 .When do I choose a majorThis varies widely across schools and programs. 14 . Others require that you decide upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.15Definitely. One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and arouses new passions. However,keep this in mind: every major has necessary coursework. If you change your major late in the game, it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.What are minors and double majorsIf one field of study doesn’t satisfy your intellectual appetite, consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration. 16 A double major provides you with an understanding or two academic fields. It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements.A．Can I change my mindB．Is my major time-consumingC．It’s your specialized area of study in college.D．Most students find one major is more than enough.E．Some schools may give you one year or more to decide.F．The only difference is that it doesn’t require as many classes. G．Many future science doctors major in non-science related fields.三、完形填空The year 2020 was a hard year.

But some are moving into their own places as social norms (规范) develop.When Alan, a civil servant willing to challenge and reform this conventional stereotype (陈规), decided to move out of his family home in Singapore, it still took the 27-year-old a month to talk about the topic with his parents. He feared they wouldn’t understand. After all, Alan’s home was a pleasant place. The family’s three-bedroom condominium (公寓) wasn’t far from the city-state’s central business district. There was homemade dinner on the table each night, and his laundry was always donefor him. “There wasn’t a push factor, just pull factors,” he says. “I’d lived with my parents my whole life, so I just wanted to experience what it’s like being by myself, you know?”In the West, leaving home is just another milestone in adulthood. Yet in most Asian societies, things are different. Culturally, moving out is sometimes considered as showing disrespect to your parents, which makes it even challenging and praiseworthy. In Singapore, living at home until marriage is a common practice; an estimated 97% of unmarried individuals lived with their parents in 2013.While the trend is in part driven by deep-rooted ideas of filial piety (孝道), it’s also linked to government policies on accommodation for young people. Most Singaporeans live in public housing units, apartments funded by the state that are known as HDBs. About 90% of those who live in HDBs own their home.Those who can’t buy HDBs can rent via the private property market — but costs are much higher. “These cost restrictions,” says Dr Chua, a professor of sociology, “effectively keep most young, unmarried people living at home with their parents.”Yet Alan, who now rents a flat in Hougang with two friends from junior college, is among the courageous young pioneers resisting the long-time cultural norm. These commendable young people are deciding that the price of the freedom to organize their own life is worth it and stepping out of their home.；4. What can we know from the second and third paragraphs?A．The East and the West are very different in most aspects.B．Alan decided to live separately mainly due to some objective reasons.C．The majority of single young people followed social customs in living in 2013. D．In the East, it is culturally acceptable for the young to live separately from the elderly.；5. What mainly causes most single young people to live with their parents in Singapore?A．Their parents’ expectations.B．Their personal wish.C．The home environment. D．The traditional culture and housing prices.；6. What is the author’s attitude towards the young Singaporeans like Alan moving out? A．Confused. B．Positive. C．Indifferent. D．Doubtful.；7. What is the best title for the text?A．Young Singaporeans’ Relationship with Their ParentsB．Young Singaporeans Fighting Against Old Social CustomsC．Young Singaporeans Striking Out Their Way to IndependenceD．Young Singaporeans’ New Way to Solve High Housing PricesCEradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country’s continuous problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snacklovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, wher e Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water, they cut them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use materials from old coats to line the insides. It takes about four hours to make a sleepi ng bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “not allowed water to enter, not heavy, and not difficult to carry around,” Oleita said. Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800, 000 chip bags and created 110 sleeping bags since last December.Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of achieving a better life－and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.And, of course, there’s the symbolism of saving bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita stated, “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”8. What’s the aim of the Chip Bag Project?A．To draw the snack lover’s attention to the homeless.B．To change the chip bags into sleeping bags for the homeless.C．To recycle the garbage to remove the poverty for the country.D．To help solve the environmental pollution caused by chip bags.9. What can we learn from Para. 2?A．Chip eaters can place the empty bags wherever they want.B．Eradajere Oleita collects the empty chip bags independently.C．The sleeping bags are tough but not easy to carry around.D．The procedure of making a sleeping bag needs masses of chip bags.10. What does the words mean by Oleita in Para. 3?A．The environmental issues should be stressed.B．Poverty should be lifted out of the homeless.C．The Chip Bag Project will impact the society and environment.D．The Chip Bag Project will be devoted to achieving a better life.11. What can be inferred from the text?A．Chip bags are always used to help the homeless.B．Chip bags are only useful in addressing the environmental problems.C．The issues of environment and poverty will be stressed in the future. D．Environmental injustice and poverty are disconnected with each other.二、七选五阅读It is very important to keep fit and stay healthy. A lot of people fail to believethe good that daily exercise does to health and only begin to do so when they suffer from health problems. 12Regular(经常的)exercise helps you keep in good shape. Maybe, you are one ofthe many overweight people struggling with problems of body shape, yet you do not want to do anything about that.
