专题02 阅读理解说明文--2023年高考英语阅读理解联考+名校联考模拟题分类精选(原卷版)1.【2022年山东省实验中学校考模拟预测】Inspired by how dandelions (蒲公英) use the wind to distribute their seeds, a University of Washington team has developed a tiny sensor-carrying device that can be blown by the wind. It could provide unique insights for a variety of applications, including digital agriculture and monitoring climate change.This system is about 30 times as heavy as a I milligram dandelion seed but can still travel up to 100 meters in a gentle wind, about the length of a football field, from where it is released. Once on the ground, the device, with at least four sensors, uses solar panels to power its onboard electronics and can share sensor data up to 60 meters away.To keep things light, the team used solar panels instead of conventional batteries. The challenge is that without a battery the system can’t st ore a charge, which means after the sun goes down, the sensors stop working. In some cases, this might result in data losses. So the team included a capacitor, a device that can store some charge overnight.To measure how far the devices would travel in the wind, the researchers dropped them from different heights, either by hand or by drone. One trick to spread out the device from a single drop point is to vary their shapes slightly so they are carried by the wind differently. “This is mimicking biology (仿生学), where variation is actually a feature, rather than a bug, ” said co author Thomas Daniel, a UW professor of biology. “Plants can’t guarantee that where they grow up this year is going to be good next year, so they have some seeds that can travel farth er away. It’s like putting eggs in different baskets.”With further improvements, the technology definitely has good prospects. “We can create devices that change shape as they fall, or facilitate some more mobility once they are on the ground to get close r to an area we’re curious about, ” said the lead author Shyam Gollakota, another UW professor.5．How does the author introduce the device in Paragraph 2?A．By offering examples. B．By listing reasons.C．By making comparisons. D．By giving figures.6．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．The superior flying capacity. B．The reason for shape adjustment.C．The complex building procedure. D．The increasingly wide application.7．What’s the author’s attitude to solar-powered sensors?A．Critical. B．Unconcerned. C．Favorable. D．Doubtful.8．What’s the purpose of the text?A．To introduce a device. B．To clarify a concept.C．To explain a phenomenon. D．To advertise a product.2.【2022年湖北高三华中师大一附中期中测试】On June 23,2018,twelve young Thai boys and their assistant football coach wandered into a karst cave in northern Thailand, near the border with Myanmar. What happened next would grab the world’s attention and lead to a complex and daring international rescue operation. The 10.3-kilometer-long Tham Luang cave flooded, trapping the boys in total blackness nearly 2.5 kilometers from the cave entrance.Thousands of people from around the globe participated in the rescue effort, including military personnel, medical experts and the rock stars of the operation — cave divers. The divers, who safely removed all of the Thai children and their coach after 18 days underground, dealt with tight spaces and low visibility in muddy water- conditions that would prove deadly: Saman Gunan, a former Thai Navy Seal, died while transporting air tanks into the cave.While the sport of cave diving had received attention in the pop culture area prior to the rescue mission in North Thailand, there is little doubt that the brave divers at Tham Luang cave helped push the activity and itsvar ieties of risks into global society’s minds.The sport-often referred to as among the world’s most dangerous recreational activities-has its roots inpre-WWII England. Since then, the recreational practice of cave diving, described by Australian cave explorer Richard Harris (a participant in the Tham Luang cave rescue) as an “unusual hobby” for “the ordinary,” has spread around the world-China included.Over 1,000 kilometers northeast of Tham Luang cave, in South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, lies karst-peak-covered Du’an county-China’s little-known cave diving Mecca.Home to thousands of kilometers of underground rivers, Du’an county offers divers spellbinding geologicalformations, perhaps the world’s largest collection of blind fish species an d a rare variety of freshwater jellyfish. 9．What do we know about the Tham Luang cave rescue operation?A．There was no loss of life in the process. B．Rock stars took part in the rescue efforts.C．Rescue team came from more than Thailand. D．Few people cared about it outside Thailand.10．What contributes to people knowing more about cave diving globally?A．Its dangerous recreations. B．Its long history.C．An expert’s description.D．The divers’ heroic deeds.11．Why is Du’an county referred to as a cave diving Mecca?A．It is northeast of Tham Luang cave. B．There are lots of underground rivers.C．It is hardly known to the outside world. D．It has the world’s largest geological formations.12．What will be talked about in the following passage?A．Spectacular cave di ving experiences in Du’an.B．Diving instructions shared by Richard Harris.C．Lessons learned from this rescue operation.D．Foods offered to tourists in Du’an.3.【2022年湖北武汉市第一中学高三模拟】Women were less likely than men to support the Vietnam war, the Gulf war, or the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. They commit far fewer murders. They are less likely to favor strikes. For some scholars, these are grounds for thinking that a world run by women would be more peaceful.But European history suggests otherwise, according to political scientists Oeindrila Dube and S. P. Harish. They studied how often European rulers went to war between 1480 and 1913, and found that states ruled by queens were 27% more likely to get involved in wars than those ruled by kings.This was not all the queens’ fault: men, seeing them as soft targets, tended to attack them. Frederick the Great of Prussia once declared: ”No woman should ever be allowed to govern anything.“ Shortly after becoming king, he attacked the newly crowned Archduchess of Austria, Maria Theresa, and seized Silesia province. Despite years of war, she never recovered it.But perceived weakness is not the whole story. Queens, the researchers found, were more likely to gain new territory. Catherine the Great expanded her empire by some 200,000 square miles. And married queens were more aggressive than single queens or kings, whether single or married.The authors suggest several reasons for this. First, married queens may have been able to form more military alliances(联盟),making them confident enough to pick fights. Their husbands had often served in the army before they married, and were well placed to strengthen military ties between their homelands and their wives’ states.Second, unlike most kings, queens often gave their husbands a lot of power,putting them in charge of foreign policy or the economy. During the 1740s, Maria Theresa’s husband, Francis I, reformed the Austrian economy and raised money for the armed forces while his wife ruled much of central Europe. Prince A lbert was Queen Victoria’s most trusted adviser, shaping her foreign policy until his death in1861. This division of labor, the authors suggest, freed up time for queens to pursue more aggressive policies.The modern era, too, has witnessed female leaders in wars: Golda Meir and the Yom Kippur war, or Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands. The number of countries led by women has more than doubled since 2000, but there is plenty of room for improvement: the current level of 15 represents less than 10 % of the total. A world in which more women took power might be more equal. Whether it would be more peaceful is a different question. 13．The underlined “perceived weakness” in paragraph 4 means that________.A．women were less likely to support warsB．women could not recover lost territoryC．women commit far fewer crimesD．women were soft targets14．Why were married queens more likely to gain new territory?A．Because their military alliances picked fights for them.B．Because they were ambitious and aggressive by nature.C．Because their husbands were supportive in state governing.D．Because they centralized all power into their own hands.15．What is the purpose of mentioning the two female leaders in the last paragraph?A．To imply there is room for improvement in gender equality.B．To indicate more females become leaders in modern times.C．To illustrate female leaders cannot prevent wars in modern times.D．To suggest female leaders have their share of wars in modern times.16．According to the passage, we can safely conclude that________.A．married women are not fit to govern their states on their ownB．female leaders should be responsible for all wars throughout historyC．the world wouldn’t be more peaceful even if more women took powerD．the division of labor allows queens to survive economic crisis4.【2022年湖南长沙一中高三测试】Most brands’ marketing strategies target our vision-think about logos, ads and other symbols. Some try to stimulate us with upbeat music or relaxing sounds. But targeting our noses can be an even more powerful tool for brands, say marketing experts.An industry, known as scent marketing, is dedicated to developing custom fragrances(香味). ScentAir, for example, is one of the largest sellers of fragrance diffusers(扩散器)to leading brands. The company designs 9 “fragrance experiences” ranging from “luxurious and sophisticated” to “passionate and sensual”. On the flip side, it also tries to mask and neutralize(中和)awful smells from bathrooms or kitchens.According to Laurence Minsky, a professor from Columbia College Chicago who studies branding, our sense of smell runs straight to our limbic system, and thus deploying a pleasant fragrance in a store can influence customers’ feelings about it and help it stand out in a crowded market. It can also cue up past memo ries, Minsky said.The presence of a pleasant scent in stores resulted in a 3% sales increase compared to stores without one, found a study published in The Journal of Marketing. And beyond just being pleasant, the specifics of scent matter. Another study published in The Journal. Of. Retailing found that consumers spent more and purchased more items in stores with a simple orange or lemon scent than in stores with complex scents.The opportunity to create an ambiance(格调)while increasing sales has led retailers and other businesses to experiment with different scents and create their own fragrance experiences. Brands such as Play-Doh and Johnson & Johnson were some of the first to use scent as a marketing tool. Play-Doh even successfully trademarked its own fragrance in 2018.Since the 1990s, Singapore Airlines has also been using its own fragrance. Flight attendants wear it as perfume; it is mixed into hot towels served before takeoff and wafts through the cabin during the flight. Hotels such as Hyatt and Westin pump smells into their lobbies, while many supermarkets move their bakeries from the back of the store to the front.But stores should keep a delicate balance when they engineer their smells. The USA’s subway, for example, has been criticized by some customers for an unpleasant bread smell. When Starbucks introduced breakfastsandwiches in 2008, it found the smell of sandwiches cooking in the oven was overpowering its coffee fragrance. 17．What may be the function of the limbic system?A．Improving our fashion sense.B．Getting rid of some bad memories.C．Changing our perspectives on things.D．Regulating our emotions and memories.18．What do paragraphs 5-6 mainly tell us?A．The history of scent marketing.B．The significance of scent marketing.C．The wide application of scent marketing.D．The influence of various scent experiments.19．What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A．To try out an idea.B．To issue a warning.C．To draw a conclusion.D．To give a piece of advice.20．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．Pay attention to your brand imageB．Use smell to get you to spend moreC．Increase sales of fragrance diffusersD．Attract customers with excellent service5.【2022年天津南开高三中学校模拟】One side effect of globalization and the related phenomenon of greatly increased mobility is that the traditional definition of “foreigner” has passed its sell-by date.Is a European who has lived in China longer than in his home country, becoming fluent in the language and culture in the process, still a foreigner in China, or has he become more of a foreigner in his own home town? What about a Beijinger who did her schooling in Canada and then lived and worked in mainstream society there for another 20 years while raising a family, who has no intention of returning to China? Does she think and act like a foreigner? What do we mean by this label?When I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, the faces you would see during a walk through a local shopping mall back in the 1960s and 1970s included almost none of Asian descent. Today the same malls are full of Asian faces, and a glance at the ranks of top scoring students in local schools reveals lots of Asian surnames.To some extent, this is no great surprise in the American context, because America is a land of immigrants, and a cultural melting pot. Apart from the native American Indians, Americans are (or were), in some way, all foreigners anyway. Absorbing a large number of immigrants is an established pattern in American history.In most places, the traditional foreigners were people who didn’t speak or read the local languages well, were unfamiliar with local customs and lifestyles, often engaged in relatively third-class work, and certainly not the type of people you would want your sons or daughters to marry. But, nowadays, a foreigner down the street may have better SAT scores than you did, or higher degree from a better university. He might also be your son’s or daughter’s next employer.The traditional role models are getting mixed up, and it looks like this is just the beginning of a new chapter. Today, the whole thing has totally changed. It’s not about where people are from or what color their skins are. It’s about who they are, what values and skills they bring, and how they think.21．By mentioning a European and a Beijinger, the author tends to tell us ______.A．it’s no long proper to define foreigners according to their birthplacesB．the label of foreigners can never be removedC．most foreigners can do well in learning languagesD．it’s impossible for a foreigner to get recognition abroad22．What can be inferred from the 3rd paragraph?A．In 1960s and 1970s, Asians didn’t shop in Chicago.B．Today, more and more Asian travelers like to shop in Chicago.C．There are more Asian immigrants today than in 1960s and 1970s in Chicago.D．Most Asian students do well academically in the schools in Chicago.23．Which is NOT the feature of the traditional foreigners according to the author?A．They didn’t have good command of the local languages.B．It’s hard for them to marry local people.C．They rarely got familiar with the local customs and lifestyles.D．Most of them didn’t live at the bottom of the local society.24．The underlined part in Paragraph 1 has the closest meaning to______.A．the term “foreigner” should be redefinedB．the term “foreigner” should no longer be usedC．there are no more foreigners in the world todayD．the term “foreigner” is not proper to define people25．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Globalization and mobility caused more and more immigrants.B．Th e standards of defining “foreigner” have thoroughly changed.C．America is a cultural melting pot.D．Immigration is a global social phenomenon.6.【2022年浙江省名校联考一模】Dogs are capable of understanding the emotions behind an expression on a human face. The study is the latest to reveal just how connected dogs are with people. The research also provides evidence that dogs use different parts of their brains to process human emotions. By living in close contact with humans, dogs have developed specific skills that enable them to interact and communicate efficiently with people. Recent studies have shown that the dogs’ brain can pick up on emotional clues contained in a person’s voice, body smell and posture,and read their faces.In this study,the authors watched wha t happened when they presented photographs of the same two adults’ faces(a man and a woman) to 26 feeding dogs. The images were placed strategically to the sides of the animals’ line of sight and the photos showed a human face ex-pressing one of the six basic human emotions:anger,fear,happiness,sadness,surprise,dis-gust or being neutral.The dogs showed greater response and cardiac(心脏的)activity when shown photo-graphs that expressed arousing emotional states such as anger, fear and happiness. They also took longer to resume feeding after seeing these images. The dogs’ increased heart rate indicated that in these cases they experienced higher levels of stress.In addition,dogs tended to turn their heads to the left when they saw human faces ex-pressing anger,fear or happiness. The reverse happened when the faces looked surprised, possibly because dogs view it as anon-threatening, relaxed expression.“Clearly arousing, negative emotions seem to be processed by the right side of a dog’s brain,and more positive emotions by the left side,”says Siniscalchi.The results support that of other studies done on dogs and other mammals. These show that the right side ofthe brain plays a more important part in regulating the sympathetic out-flow to the heart. This is a fundamental organ for the control of the “fight or flight”Behavioral response necessary for survival.26．What does the new research show?A．People’s emotions are exactly revealed in dogs’ brains.B．Dog’s brains are highly affected by people’s emotions.C．Dog s own the natural ability to understand people’s emotions.D．Dogs treat human emotions with different sides of their brains.27．How do dogs form the skills to interact with people?A．By following certain orders.B．By being treated by their owners.C．By being closely connected with people.D．By recognizing different faces on pictures.28．Which can best replace the underlined word“reverse”in paragraph 4?A．opposite B．nervous C．rewarding D．similar29．What may be a suitable title for the text?A．Dogs are living in close contact with peopleB．Dogs understand what’s written all over your faceC．Dogs’ heart rate increases when experiencing stressD．Negative emotions affect dogs’ returning to feeding7. 【2022年江西高三联考】Environmentalists warn that gas stoves in our kitchens are bad for the climate and our health. First, there is unburned natural gas that can escape before the flame burns or leak from the stove, which is more than 90 percent methane(甲烷). Second, a burning stove can create pollutants to harm the lungs.The big surprise in one new study, conducted by environmental scientists at Stanford University, was the amount of unburned gas that leaks into kitchens when a stove is off. They found that more than three quarters of methane that escapes from a stove does so when it is not in use, most likely through imperfect pipe fittings. With 40 million gas stoves across America, Jackson and his co-authors estimate that the heat-trapping potential of the methane they release annually is roughly equal to the carbon dioxide released by half a million gas-powered cars.The Stanford study also looked at the amount of nitrogen oxides produced when using the stoves. The secondstudy looked at the non-methane components of unburden gas from stoves. They found 21 dangerous chemicals. The amounts were small, but Michanowicz worries that, with winter coming and lots of us working at home, we’re reducing air exchange, which means indoor pollution will be great.Not surprisingly, the American Gas Association has criticized both studies. Richard Meyers, a vice president of the association, said that the authors identified no health concern. As for the Stanford study, Meyers says the nitrogen oxides were meas ured improperly, using plastic sheets to create small spaces around the stoves. Stanford’s Jackson replies that the team’s health risk assessments were based on measurements in open, untended kitchens.The team suggests that governments provide support for people to switch to electric ranges. Several US cities are reducing the use of natural gas(for stoves and heat) in new construction. As for me, weather permitting, I’ll open a window.30．What’s the finding of the scientists at Stanford University?A．Kitchens are a great source of pollution.B．Stoves not in use leak lots of unburned gas.C．Methane given off in the kitchen is harmful.D．90% of methane is produced in the kitchen.31．What makes Michanowicz worried?A．Non-methane elements in gas are dangerous.B．Unbumed gas does harm equal to gas-burning cars.C．People are unaware of the harm of unburden gas.D．People kept indoors will be exposed to the danger.32．What’s Jackson’s attitude to Meyers’ blame?A．Supportive. B．Unconcerned. C．Negative. D．Ambiguous.33．What advice does the research team give to people?A．Using electric stoves. B．Fixing imperfect pipes.C．Opening the windows. D．Getting financial support.8.【2022年重庆八中高三模拟】A Chinese pet-cloning company has announced the birth of the world’s first cloned Arctic wolf, which was carried to term by an unlikely surrogate (替代的) mother — a beagle. 100 days after birth, the cloned female wolf pup, named Maya, and her beagle mother were unveiled to the world in a brief video at a press conference heldSep.19 by the Sinogene Biotechnology Company in Beijing.Normally, Sinogene specializes in cloning dead pets, such as cats, dogs and horses, for private clients. But the company now wants to use its expertise to help clone endangered species for conservation purposes. “It’s a breakthrough in the protection and breeding of wild and endangered animals,” said Mi Jidong, general manager of Sinogene.Maya was cloned using DNA collected from a fully grown Arctic wolf, also named Maya, which died in captivity at Harbin Polarland, a wildlife park in northeast China. The original Maya, who was born in Canada before being shipped to China in 2006, died due to old age in early 2021.The cloning of Maya was successfully completed “after two years of painstaking efforts,” Mi J idong said at the company’s press conference. Sinogene researchers originally created 137 Arctic wolf embryos (胚胎) by joining skin cells from the original Maya with immature egg cells from dogs, using a process known as somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Of those embryos, 85 were successfully transplanted into seven beagle surrogates. From those transplanted embryos, just one fully developed during pregnancy.The researchers used beagle surrogates because there were not enough female wolves in the park for the scientists’ experiments. Luckily, dogs share enough DNA with wolves for the hybrid pregnancy to gestate (怀孕) successfully.Maya now lives with her surrogate mother at a Sinogene lab in Xuzhou, eastern China, but the wolf pup will eventually be transferred to Harbin Polar land to live with other Arctic wolves.34．What do we know about Sinogene?A．It specializes in public services.B．It has achieved advances in cloning.C．It’s the first cloning company in China.D．It’s a foreign company based in Beijin g.35．How did Sinogene successfully develop the embryo?A．By adopting a new method called SCNT.B．By isolating DNA from dogs’ immature egg cells.C．By combining a wolf embryo with a beagle embryo.D．By inserting a wolf’s skin cells into eggs from dogs.36．Why were beagles used in the experiment?A．Because their embryos guaranteed pregnancy.B．Because Arctic wolves had long lived with them.C．Because beagles’ DNA is identical to that of Arctic wolves.D．Because Arctic female wolves used for research were limited.37．What’s the purpose of the text?A．To explain a study method of cloning.B．To share a recent scientific achievement.C．To call for the protection of engendered species.D．To introduce a pioneering Chinese cloning company.9.【上海市同济大学第一附属中学2022-2023学年高三上学期英语试题】Gardeners may be able to cut down on the amount of weeds(杂草）killer they use by dealing with invaders at specific times of the day, such as dawn, a new study suggests.Researchers at the University of Bristol have discovered that the 24-hour rhythms of plants leave them more defenseless to herbicides(除草剂) at different points in their daily 24 hour cycle.They believe the findings could help farmers by reducing crop loss and improving harvests. And gardeners could benefit from knowing which weeds respond better at certain times of the day. In recent years, pesticides and herbicides have been implicated in the decline of important pollinating insects, such as bees.Dr Antony Dodd，senior author of the new study，said: “The research suggests that, in future, we might be able to improve the use of some chemicals that are used in agriculture by taking advantage of the biological clock in plants.Just like humans, plants have evolved to take advantage of cycles of night and day, with certain biological processes turning on at different times of the day.Scientists have discovered that many drugs work much better in humans if they are given at specific hours. Aspirin, for example, has doubled the impact on thinning the blood if taken at night as opposed to in the morning. The process is known as ‘chronotherapy’ and researchers wanted to find out if the same concept could be applied to plants.Many gardeners already know that plants drink in more water in the morning because their pores(气孔) are open to take advantage of early morning dew and water vapour. At the break of the day, plants are also not busyproducing food throughphotosynthesis(光和作用）.The open pores could also be the reasons that chemicals are more effective at dawn and also at dusk.The air is also likely to be stiller at dawn and dusk, meaning that pesticides or herbicides are less likely to be blown away to places where they are not wanted. Pesticide labels often warn against spraying on windy days in case they endanger people or animals. Many insects are active early in the morning and around dusk, also making very early morning and early evening effective times for insecticide.Commenting on the study, Dr. Trevor Dines, Botanical Specialist at the conservation charity Plantlife, said: “This is fascinating research which will be of great interest to many gardeners like me. If anything used to think the opposite was true - that applying herbicides and pesticides late in the day would be better as they’d remain in Vet contact' with the plant for longer in the cool of the night and therefore be taken up or absorbed more effectively. This research knocks that assumption on its head”43. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “implicated in” in the th ird paragraph?A. restored toB. blamed forC. limited toD. composed of44. According to the research, what are the reasons for using herbicides in the morning?A. The process of photosynthesis is most active in the morning.B. Insects are more defenseless in the morning than any other time of the day.C. Bigger pores on the plants make herbicides work more effectively.D. The stronger morning wind blows pesticides away to more places.45. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Gardeners were interested in combining science with gardening.B. A long time had passed before herbicide was applied in farming.C. The old assumption about the use of chemicals proved right.D. Many gardeners used to spray herbicides at the wrong time.46. What is the main idea of this article?A. New chemicals have been found to help kill harmful insects.B. Biological clock of plants could help gardeners use less weed killer.C.

高考英语作文预测汇总模拟卷一2021年“青少年网红梦”一度成为全国热点讨论话题。

作为一名高中生，请根据《2022年毕业生求职意向调查报告》显示的数据（见下表），谈谈你对该话题的看法并给出理由。

最受欢迎职业前三：主播anchor 25.12%网红influencer/KOL(Key Opinion Leader) 19.06%新媒体运营new media operation specialist 18.2%Becoming Internet celebrities has become the dream job for millions of teenagers, a trend attracting nationwide attention. According to a survey among college graduates in 2022, being an anchor onlive-streaming platforms takes the lead, accounting for 25.12% . The choices of becoming influencers and new media operation specialists follow closely behind, making up 19.06% and 18.2% respectively.For anyone paying attention, these results should come as no shock. With social media platforms accessible to everyone,some teenagers find a way to get attention and attract followers, translating fame into fortune. No wonder so many harbour dreams of internet celebrity.However, I don’t believe this is an ideal careerpath for everyone, especially teenagers who lack rational judgement to chart their own course. Truth be told, it is not easy to make it in the business.Given the increasingly fierce competition, players will have to work extra hardon their contents and develop strategies to market themselves, sometimes evenat the risk of their privacy. And remember it is not just upload and forget, you have to promote your content every day and make more appealing videos. Moreover, obsession with online celebrity may be detrimental to teenagers’ growth in the long term. Living under the illusion of instant success, some may losethe motivation to study and thus fail to invest in meaningful things.Therefore, instead of following the trend blindly, it’s advisable for us teenagers toremaincool-headed and adopt a down-to-earth attitude to life. Only by doing socan we truly form a clearer vision of ourselves and explore a career path that best suits us and brings our talent intofull play.模拟卷二人们常说，“读万卷书不如行万里路”。

高三英语上学期阅读理解备考复习2Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them .Take my family’s last vacation .It was my six-year-old son’s winter break f rom school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta , the airline ,offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day .I had meetings in New York, so I had to get back . But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight.Yes, I encouraged---okay, ordered---them to wait it out at the airport to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks .I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade.I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.I tell you th is because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.56. Why did Delta give the author's family credits?A. They took a later flight.B. They had early bookings.C. Their flight had been delayed.D. Their flight had been cancelled.57. What can we learn about the author?A. She rarely misses a good deal.B. She seldom makes a compromise.C. She is very strict with her childrenD. She is interested in cheap products.58. What does the author do?A. She's a teacher.B. She's a housewife.C. She's a media person.D. She's a businesswoman.59. What does the author want to tell us?A. How to expose bad tricks.B. How to reserve airline seats.C. How to spend money wisely,D. How to make a business deal.BThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert (警觉). Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze(凝视) starts to lose its focus --- until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before tw o, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on),changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things m ake, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise(同样地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.60. The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s____________.A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smellCIt happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was ,in his words, “a brilliantly （精彩地）written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all .I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t .In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”,Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out ),I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten .But I am pleased to say that,unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one ,George Orwell’s 1984.I think it’s really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him,but haven’t lied about it either ) and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J.k. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the bi g sellers, in other words).Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).64. How did the author find his friend a book liar?A .By judging his manner of speaking.B. By looking into his background.C. By mentioning a famous name.D. By discussing the book itself.65. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Dayreport?A. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.B. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984.C. The author admitted having read 9 books.D. Dreams From My Father is hardly read.66. By lying about reading, a person hopes to _______________.A. control the conversationB. appear knowledgeableC. learn about the bookD. make more friends67. What is the a uthor’s attitude to 58% of readers?A. Favorable.B. UncaringC. DoubtfulD. FriendlyDThe National GalleryDescription:The National Gallery is the British national art museum built on the north side of Trafalgar Square in London.

Unit 2　The Olympic GamesⅠ.阅读理解A(2017浙江“五校联考”第一次考试) Ninety percent of Americans drive to work every day although working from home is on the rise.If you’re lacking for topics of conversation at a party,chatting about your commute is a pretty safe bet.According to a recent study,driving for more than two hours each day can steadily decrease the IQ of middle-aged drivers.The Sunday Times of London detailed the study,which looked into the lifestyle choices of over 500,000 Britons between the ages of 37 and 73.When looking at the data of the 93,000 participants who drove more than two to three hours per day,the study found a noticeable drop in brainpower,measured by intelligence and memory tests.The study found similar results among participants who took part in several hours similarly sedentary(久坐不动的) activity,like television watching.As it turns out,stimulating activity stimulates your brain,while non-stimulating activity,well,doesn’t stimulate your brain.“Cognitive(认知的)decline is measurable over five years because it can happen fast in middle-aged and older people.This is associated with lifestyle factors such as smoking and bad diet-and now with time spent driving,”Kishan Bakrania,a medical epidemiologist at the University of Leicester told The Times.Fortunately for most Americans,the average commute time was recorded approximately 26.5 minutes according to the 2015 United States Census.And if you think that the way to pump up your IQ is through brain games,think again.Just try and avoid those long hours on the road if possible,and if you happen to have free time on your commute,be sure to use it wisely.1.According to the passage,which of the following may be of help to our brainpower?A.Watching TV.B.Having sports.C.Driving a long time.D.Sleeping.2.Why does the writer mention“results among participants who took part in several hours similarly sedentary activity”in Paragraph 3?A.To make a contrast.B.To give an example.C.To make a description.D.To give more evidence.3.We can infer from the passage that .A.long time drive may decrease the driver’s IQB.smoking and bad diet can cause cognitive declineC.people should participate in more stimulating activitiesD.an increasing number of Americans drive to work every day语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,研究发现每天开车时间超过2小时会使中年驾驶者的智力衰退。

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.

However, the reality is that the best time to travel to London depends a lot on what you’re looking for. If you’re all about taking a look inside Queen Liz’s palace, you’d better make it in summer, while winter is beautiful and festive for those looking to get their fill of Christmas markets and traditional cheer.Things to KnowLondoners, and English people in general, have a much different manner of interacting with one another than Americans do--while an American might think nothing of smiling at a stranger they pass on the sidewalk or asking about work in the first few minutes of a conversation, Londoners might c onsider it impolite or strange. Don’t mistake this for unfriendliness；it’s just a cultural difference. Instead, talk about things like movies, TV shows, books, your travels, and the like, instead of work or family.How to Get AroundGetting around London is unbelievably easy thanks to the well-maintained and extensive Underground. The Underground, unlike American transportation systems which often pay per ride or pay per length of trip, is paid in zones. Fare also varies based on time of day and the method you use to pay. It’s worth getting an Oyster card to make your life that much simpler.13．When is the best time to visit London for people who enjoy a lively atmosphere?A．Spring. B．Summer. C．Autumn. D．Winter.14．Where is this text most probably taken from?A．A survey. B．A guidebook.C．A research paper. D．A travel journal.15．Which of the following is the most suitable topic for starting a conversation with Londoners?A．Daily entertainments. B．Future career plans.C．Personal relationships. D．Annual incomes.6.（2022·上海虹口·统考一模）Guidelines for Poster PresentationsDate: Friday 28 OctoberTime: 13.00-14.20 (Presenters are required to be by their posters by 12.55 sharp.)Poster Session Format- The poster session is a self-explanatory exhibit where the presenter(s) is/are available for one-on-one discussion.- All the in-person poster presentations will take place simultaneously (同时进行的).
