Some parents will buy any high﹣tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles help children with math﹣related skills．Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills．Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition （认知）after controlling for differences in parents' income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said．The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child﹣parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age．"The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate（旋转）and translate shapes, " Levine said in a statement．The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of the children in the study played with puzzles at one time．Higher﹣income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills．However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than the parents of girls．The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science．（1）In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play？________A.Building confidence．B.Developing spatial skills．C.Learning self﹣control．D.Gaining high﹣tech knowledge．．（2）What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment？________A.Parents' age．B.Children's imagination．C.Parents' education．D.Child﹣parent relationship．．（3）How do boys differ from girls in puzzle play？________A.They play with puzzles more often．B.They tend to talk less during the game．C.They prefer to use more spatial language．D.They are likely to play with tougher puzzles．．（4）What is the text mainly about？________A.A mathematical method．B.A scientific study．C.A woman psychologist．D.A teaching program．3.

From social media platforms to e-commerce websites, the internet has become an integral part of our daily lives. However, along with its numerous benefits, it also brings about various challenges. One of the most pressing issues is the increasing number of cybercrimes, which have become more sophisticated and harder to detect.One such cybercrime is identity theft, where personal information is stolen and used without the consent of the owner. This can lead to financial loss, damage to one’s reputation, and even personal safety issues. To combat this, individuals and organizations must be vigilant and take necessary precautions to protect their digital identities.Another significant challenge is the spread of misinformation. With the ease of sharing information online, false news and fake stories can quickly go viral, causing confusion and panic among the public. This not only poses a threat to public opinion but also affects the credibility of traditional media outlets.Moreover, the internet has also given rise to a culture of cyberbullying, where individuals can anonymously harass and abuse others. This has led to a rise in mental health issues among teenagers and young adults. It is crucial for society to address this issue and promote a safer and more respectful online environment.In light of these challenges, governments and organizations around the world are implementing various measures to protect individuals and society from the negative impacts of the internet. These include stricter regulations, increased cybersecurity measures, and public awareness campaigns.1、What is the main issue discussed in the passage?A)The benefits of the internetB)The challenges of the internetC)The impact of the internet on societyD)The history of the internet2、What is one of the most pressing issues mentioned in the passage?A)Identity theftB)MisinformationC)CyberbullyingD)All of the above3、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a challenge of the internet in the passage?A)Identity theftB)MisinformationC)Increase in employment opportunitiesD)Cyberbullying4、What measures are being implemented to combat the negative impacts of the internet?A)Stricter regulations and increased cybersecurity measuresB)Public awareness campaignsC)Both A and BD)None of the above答案：1、B2、D3、C4、CQuestion 4Passage:In a world increasingly dominated by technology, the art of reading and appreciating literature has taken on new significance. While some bemoan the loss of traditional practices and the tactile experience of handling a book, others embrace the myriad possibilities that digital media offer. One such possibility is the ability to reach a wider audience through e-books and audiobooks, which can be accessed anywhere, anytime, provided one has a device and an internet connection. Moreover, digital platforms have made it easier for aspiring writers to publish their work and for readers to discover new voices from around the globe. However, this democratization of publishing also raises concerns about the quality of writing and the potential for the market to become oversaturated. Despite these challenges, many believe that technology will not replace the fundamental value of literature but rather enhance it by providing more opportunities for storytelling and self-expression.Questions:1、What is one benefit mentioned in the passage of digital media for literature?Answer: The ability to reach a wider audience through e-books and audiobooks.2、According to the passage, what do digital platforms make easier for aspiring writers?Answer: Digital platforms make it easier for aspiring writers to publish their work.3、What concern does the passage raise about the democratization of publishing?Answer: The concern raised is about the quality of writing and the potential for the market to become oversaturated.4、What view is expressed regarding the impact of technology on the value of literature?Answer: The view expressed is that technology will not replace the fundamental value of literature but will enhance it by providing more opportunities for storytelling and self-expression.四、阅读第二节（12.5分）Reading Section IIPassage:In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of renewable energy sources to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.

宁夏2021届高考英语试卷和答案解析
2021年宁夏高考英语试卷AThe Biggest Stadiums in the World People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 8 A.D.，the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world's best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design.Rome's Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances,seating 50，000 people.However,that was small fry compared with the city's Circus Maximus,which accommodated around 250，000 people.These days,safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan's desire for a good view and a comfortable seat-tend to keep stadium capacities（容量）slightly lower.Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each；gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.For the biggest stadiums in the world,we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far,which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity,as well as updated information from official stadium websites.All these stadiums are still functional,still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.• Rungrado 1st of May Stadium,Pyongyang,D.P.R.Korea.Capacity：150，000.Opened：May 1，1989. • Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor,Michigan, U.S. Capacity：107，601. Opened：October 1，1927. • Beaver Stadium,State College,Pennsylvania,U.S. Capacity：106，572.Opened：September 17，1960. • Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U.S. Capacity：104，944. Opened：October 7，1922.• Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U.S. Capacity：102，512. Opened：September 24，1927.1. How many people could the Circus Maximus hold？______A. 104，944.B. 107，601.C. About 150，000.D. About 250，000.2. Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest？______A. Michigan Stadium.B. Beaver Stadium.C. Ohio Stadium.D. Kyle Field.3. What do the listed stadiums have in common？______A. They host big games.B. They have become tourist attractions.C. They were built by Americans.D. They are favored by architects.BWhen almost everyone has a mobile phone,why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline（座机）？These days you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn't own a mobilephone.In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere,anytime.Still,55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter（29%）rely only on their smartphones,according to a survey（调查）. Of those Australians who still have a landline,a third concede that it's not really necessary and they're keeping it as a security blanket - 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category. More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone.Age is naturally a factor （因素）- only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then,compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who've perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.Age isn't the only factor；I'd say it's also to do with the makeup of your household.Generation Xers with young families,like my wife and I，can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said,to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents,to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone（using Caller ID would take the fun out of it）.How attached are you to your landline？How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries？4. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones？______A. Their target users.B. Their wide popularity.C. Their major functions.D. Their complex design.5. What does the underlined word "concede" in paragraph 3 mean？______A. Admit.B. Argue.C. Remember.D. Remark.6. What can we say about Baby Boomers？______A. They like smartphone games.B. They enjoy guessing callers' identity.C. They keep using landline phones.D. They are attached to their family.7. What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph？______A. It remains a family necessity.B. It will fall out of use some day.C. It may increase daily expenses.D. It is as important as the gas light.CYou've heard that plastic is polluting the oceans-between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference？Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage,forcing viewersto re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.At the beginning of the year,the artist built a piece called "Strawpocalypse," a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves,frozen mid-crash. Made of 168，000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam. Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source（来源）of plastic pollution,but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and,because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.In a piece from 2018，Von Wong wanted to illustrate（说明）a specific statistic：Every 60 seconds,a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work,titled "Truckload of Plastic," Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10，000 pieces of plastic,which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped（倾倒）from a truck all at once.Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.8. What are Von Wong's artworks intended for？______A. Beautifying the city he lives in.B. Introducing eco-friendly products.C. Drawing public attention to plastic waste.D. Reducing garbage on the beach.9. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3？______A. To show the difficulty of their recycling.B. To explain why they are useful.C. To voice his views on modern art.D. To find a substitute for them.10. What effect would "Truckload of Plastic" have on viewers？______A. Calming.B. Disturbing.C. Refreshing.D. Challenging.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text？______A. Artists' Opinions on Plastic SafetyB. Media Interest in Contemporary ArtC. Responsibility Demanded of Big CompaniesD. Ocean Plastics Transformed into SculpturesDDuring an interview for one of my books,my interviewer said something I still think about often. Annoyed by the level of distraction（干扰）in his open office,he said,"That's why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street - so I can focus." His comment struck me as strange. After all,coworkingspaces also typically use an open office layout（布局）. But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach works.The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking. They were randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background,from total silence to 50 decibels（分贝），70 decibels,and 85 decibels. The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant；however,the participants in the 70 decibels group - those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop - significantly outperformed the other groups. Since the effects were small,this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise.But since the results at 70 decibels were significant,the study also suggests that the right level of background noise - not too loud and not total silence - may actually improve one's creative thinking ability. The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander,without making it impossible to focus. This kind of "distracted focus" appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.So why do so many of us hate our open offices？The problem may be that,in our offices,we can't stop ourselves from getting drawn into others' conversations while we're trying to focus. Indeed,the researchers found that face-to-face interactions and conversations affect the creative process,and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.12. Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space？______A. It helps him concentrate.B. It blocks out background noise.C. It has a pleasant atmosphere.D. It encourages face-to-face interactions.13. Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability？______A. Total silence.B. 50 decibels.C. 70 decibels.D. 85 decibels.14. What makes an open office unwelcome to many people？______A. Personal privacy unprotected.B. Limited working space.C. Restrictions on group discussion.D. Constant interruptions.15. What can we infer about the author from the text？______A. He's a news reporter.B. He's an office manager.C. He's a professional designer.D. He's a published writer.According to Jessica Hagy, author of How to Be Interesting, it’s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party.(1) , if you’re out of your comfort zone or if you’re wandering into somebody’s house for the first time. So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do you do for a living?”, you’ll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you’re talking to. (2) , it can bring in “I have this old, broken-down vehicle” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation.(3) ? If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox (讲台). If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. (4) .And what about that other dinner-party killer: awkward silence? If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment (赞扬). (5) . Just quickly turn around and say, “This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”So being interesting at a dinner party isn’t that hard.A.How do you know the hostB.The first step is to go exploringC.If you ask the question “How did you get here?”D.Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangersE.Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to sayF.What about that person who had too much to drink or won’t stop talkingG.He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most16.

2023年高考英语真题试卷（全国乙卷）宁夏一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读理解PRACTITIONERSJacqueline Felice de Almania (c. 1322) highlights the suspicion that women practicing medicine faced. Born to a Jewish family in Florence, she moved to Paris where she worked as a physician and performed surgery. In 1322 she was tried for practicing unlawfully. In spite of the court hearing testimonials (证明) of her ability as a doctor, she was banned from medicine.Tan Yunxian (1461 - 1554) was a Chinese physician who learned her skills from her grandparents. Chinese women at the time could not serve apprenticeships (学徒期) with doctors. However, Tan passed the official exam. Tan treated women from all walks of life. In 1511, Tan wrote a book, Sayings of a Female Doctor, describing her life as a physician.James Barry (c. 1789 - 1865) was born Margaret Bulkley in Ireland but, dressed as a man, she was accepted by Edinburgh University to study medicine. She qualified as a surgeon in 1813, then joined the British Army, serving overseas. Barry retired in 1859, having practiced her entire medical profession living and working as a man.Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831 - 1895) worked as a nurse for eight years before studying in medical college in Boston in 1860. Four years later, she was the first African American woman to receive a medical degree. She moved to Virginia in 1865, where she provided medical care to freed slaves.1．What did Jacqueline and James have in common?A．Doing teaching jobs.B．Being hired as physicians.C．Performing surgery.D．Being banned from medicine.2．How was Tan Yunxian different from the other practitioners?A．She wrote a book.B．She went through trials.C．She worked as a dentist.D．She had formal education.3．Who was the first African American with a medical degree?A．Jacqueline Felice de Almania.B．Tan Yunxian.C．James Barry.D．Rebecca Lee Crumpler.阅读理解Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape (风景) can be quite achallenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation.Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment.One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil's Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz (石英) rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route (路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.4．How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest?A．By teaming up with other photographers.B．By shooting in the countryside or state parks.C．By studying the geographical conditions.D．By creating settings in the corn fields.5．What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author?A．Proper time management.B．Good shooting techniques.C．Adventurous spirit.D．Distinctive styles.6．What can we infer from the author's trip with friends to Devil's Lake?A．They went crazy with the purple quartz rock.B．They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset.C．They reached the shooting spot later than expected.D．They had problems with their equipment.7．How does the author find his photos taken at Devil's Lake?A．Amusing.B．Satisfying.C．Encouraging.D．Comforting.阅读理解What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.It's thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain's consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK's obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it's no longer "uncool" for boys to like cooking.8．What do people usually think of British food?A．It is simple and plain.B．It is rich in nutrition.C．It lacks authentic tastes.D．It deserves a high reputation.9．Which best describes cookery programmes on British TV?A．Authoritative.B．Creative.C．Profitable.D．Influential. 10．Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now?A．20%.B．24%.C．25%.D．33%.11．What might the author continue talking about?A．The art of cooking in other countries.B．Male chefs on TV programmes.C．Table manners in the UK.D．Studies of big eaters.阅读理解If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity's later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can't. The clearest example of this between literate and non-literate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cook's voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain's record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports.In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas, all of whom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact (联系) between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects.12．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．How past events should be presented.B．What humanity is concerned about.C．Whether facts speak louder than words.D．Why written language is reliable.13．What does the author indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in paragraph 2?A．His report was scientific.B．He represented the local people.C．He ruled over Botany Bay.D．His record was one-sided.14．What does the underlined word "conversation" in paragraph 3 refer to?A．Problem.B．History.C．V oice.D．Society.15．Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from?A．How Maps Tell Stories of the WorldB．A Short History of AustraliaC．A History of the World in 100 ObjectsD．How Art Works Tell Stories二、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The integration of technology in classrooms hasrevolutionized the way teachers teach and students learn. For instance, the use of interactive whiteboards and online resources has made learning more engaging and accessible.Moreover, technology has facilitated personalized learning, allowing students to learn at their own pace and style. This has been particularly beneficial for students with differentlearning needs, as it enables them to receive the supportthey require.However, it is crucial to strike a balance betweentraditional teaching methods and the use of technology. While technology can enhance the learning experience, it should not replace the human element in education. Teachers still play a vital role in guiding and mentoring students.In conclusion, technology has a significant role in education, but it should be used as a tool to complement, not replace, traditional teaching methods. By doing so, we can create a more effective and inclusive learning environment for all students.。
