Many 4(visit) to Uluru climb the rock even though there's no road to it,except for a chain-and-pole path that's been hammered into the rock by early explorers. There's even a sign at the bottom of the rock 5 (write) in seven languages, reading: "Please don't climb.‘’For starters, the rock has spiritual significance for the local Aboriginal people, and 6 (set) foot on it is considered disrespectful. Other concerns include some people leaving litter on top of the rock, and some even urinate (撒尿)on it since there's no toilet up there. When it rains, the human waste is washed down onto the rock, which can be 7 (harm) to the environment. Also, according to ABC News, 35 people 8 (die) so far trying to climb it. This is 9 the Australian government announced earlier this month that climbing Uluru 10 (ban),starting from Oct 26, 2023.2. 3. 4. 5.7. 8. 9. 10.Passage2:Living a life with meaning and purpose is the key to improving your psychological well-being.Your purpose doesn't 1 (necessary), have to involve changing the world or finding a career 2 (devote) to helping others. Instead, you might make it your purpose to be kind every day.3 you feel like your life lacks purpose, don't worry.

In March, the Guardian changed 1 (it) wording- using ' 'global heating" instead of "global warming"，after scientists found that Earth's temperature is set 2 (rise) from between 2.5C and 4.5C. And on May 1, the UK parliament declared a "climate emergency",___3 __ (become)the first parliament to do so.If with "global warming", we re still inside our comfort zone of handling the situation, entering the state of "global heating" is like heading to a point 4 the delicate balance of nature is disturbed so much that there is no turning back. Everything will be changing: Coral will die, polar bears will lose their habitats completely, and extreme 5 (weather) like droughts and heavy storms will happen at a higher 6 (frequent). There is no denying that we're entering a climate emergency. Decades ago when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the impacts could be seen as an issue for future generations," but now it's 7 (definite) our issue, 8 _shift we all are living together. However, getting these messages 9 is far from enough. Itdepends on each to find a solution - if there are any solutions left to find. The UK's Labor leader Jeremy urged that "we 10 (take) rapid and dramatic action now".Indeed, language matters. But action matters even more.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6. 7. 8. 9. 10.Passage 4:Digital receipts offer a few improvements over 1 (tradition) paper receipts. One is health-related. Lots of receipt paper contains bisphenol-A, or BPA. This chemical can completely influence or outright change some bodily processes, like hair growth, hormone function and cell repair. 2 (reduce) receipt paper reduces the risk for BPA exposure for not only consumers but also for employees who handle the paper 3 a more routine basis.Another reason why digital receipts are better just boils down to_ 4 __(convenient). You can access those receipts through your email and file 5 (they) away in a separate folder or with a specific label for easy sorting. Or, if you need more help on the organization front, try a receipt tracking app. Physical receipts require you physically 6 (keep) track of them, and that means a shoe box or an accordion folder or a big thumb tack on a cork board in the kitchen. There have been times when I've let something go unreturned__ 7 _didn't have thereceipt.Some businesses, particularly local ones, use newer point of sale systems like Square that will 8 automatic) send you a digital receipt if you've already received one from another business that uses Square. When you pay with the same credit you did at the first seller, and you've already provided 9 email address to the Square system, you _ 10 __ (get) a receipt in your email minutes later.Passage 5:Scientists say crocodiles have outlived dinosaurs 1 some 65 million years. One reason why they are such good 2 (survive) is that they can go for a very long time without eating.And they are expert hunters,___3____ ( use) their strong jaws to bite their prey(猎物) and then swallow it whole. When they lose a tooth they grow one right back.A crocodile can go through 8,000___4____ (tooth) in one lifetime!What does the expression "crocodile tears" mean simply put, "crocodile tears" are fake sadness. You pretend 5 (cry) and feel bad for something when in fact you could not care 6 (little). A great word to describe it is insincere. The phrase "crocodile tears" comes from an old myth that crocodiles would shed tears while eating their prey. A religious worker wrote that 7 a crocodile found a man by the water, it would kill him if it could. Then the crocodile would cry tears on the man, but then finally swallow 8 (he). Another myth suggests9 crocodile is very clever indeed. Crocodiles, the story goes, would cry tears as a false show of guilt or sadness to trick their prey. The prey would come closer and then become dinner.Scientists explain that crocodiles DO create tears, but they do not cry. The tears help to clean their eyes.

The accident happened during a family holiday in the French Alps. Although he was wearing a helmet, which broke apart on impact, the F1 celebrity was moving at speeds of up to 62 mph and skiing outside the off-piste safety demarcations (滑雪场地外的安全区). Doctors reported that he would have died on impact if he hadn’t bee n wearing a helmet. He has been in a coma (昏迷) since arriving at a nearby hospital where he was airlifted to from the site of the accident.Michael Schumacher grew up in frugal (简朴的) conditions and started what would become his remarkable professional career when his working class father — a bricklayer — built him a go-kart from where he started participating in competitions. He started his adult career racing for Formula Ford in 1988 and later raced for Formula One Ford, Ferrari, and Mercedes AMG. He holds numerous F1 world records including most race victories, fastest laps, and most races won in a single season. According to the Formula One website, he is “statistically the greatest driver the sport has ever seen”. Also notable are his contributions to charity, during the peak of his career he has given away more than 50 million Euros to a variety of charity organizations, most to help children around the world.Millions of Europeans and other fans around the world are holding their breath and waiting for information about his hopeful recovery. We wish him and his family the best.【小题1】Michael Schumacher is in a coma after ________.A. crashing in an airlift accidentB. a Formula One Ford car crashC. a skiing accident during his holidayD. a bump onto a rock in a skiing race【小题2】What is a go-kart most likely to be?A. A medical instrument.B. A small car-racing field.C. A racing-car driver’s safety helmet.D. A small motor vehicle used for racing.【小题3】From the passage we can learn that Michael Schumacher ________.A. is recovering quickly at the Alpine Hospital in FranceB. gave all his money to charity during the height of his careerC. raced for Ferrari and Mercedes before becoming a celebrityD. came from humble origins to become the greatest F1 driver everBHacking our senses to boost learning powerSome schools are pumping music, noises and pleasant smells into the classroom to see if it improves exam results. Could it work? Why do songs stick in our heads? What does your school smell like? Is it noisy or peaceful?It might not seem important, but a growing body of research suggests that smells and sounds can have an impact on learning, performance and creativity. Indeed, some head teachers have recently taken to broadcasting noises and pumping smells into their schools to see whether it can boost grades. Is there anything in it? And if so, what are the implications for the way we work and study?There is certainly some well-established research to suggest that some noises can have a harmful effect on learning. Numerous studies over the past 15 years have found that children attending schools under the flight paths of large airports fall behind in their exam results. Bridget Shield, a professor of acoustics (声学) at London South Bank University, and Julie Dockrell, from the Institute of Education, have been conducting studies on the effects of all sorts of noises, such as traffic and sirens (汽笛), as well as noise generated by the children themselves. When they recreated those particular sounds in anexperimental setting while children completed various learning tasks, they found a significant negative effect on exam scores. “Everything points to a bad impact of the noise on children’s performance, in numeracy, in literacy, and in spelling,” says S hield. The noise seemed to have an especially harmful effect on children with special needs.Whether background sounds are beneficial or not seems to depend on what kind of noise it is — and the volume. In a series of studies published last year, Ravi Mehta from the College of Business at Illinois and his colleagues tested people’s creativity while exposed to a soundtrack made up of background noises — such as coffee-shop chatter and construction-site drilling —at different volumes. They found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when volume was low. Loud background noise, however, damaged their creativity.Many teachers all over the world already play music to students in class. Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can boost IQ in later tasks, the so-called Mozart effect. While the evidence actually suggests it’s hard to say classical music boosts brainpower, researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well, says Perham, who has done his own studies on the phenomenon. The key appears to be that you enjoy what you’re hearing. “If you like the music or you like the sound — even listening to a Stephen King novel — then you do better. It doesn’t matter about the music,” he says.So, it seems that schools that choose to prevent disturbing noises and create positive soundscapes could enhance the learning of their students, so long as they make careful choices. Yet this isn’t the only sense being used to affec t learning. Special educational needs students at Sydenham high school in London are being encouraged to revise different subjects in the presence of different smells — grapefruit scents for maths, lavender for French and spearmint for history.【小题1】The four questions in the first paragraph are meant to ________.A. create some sense of humour to please the readersB. provide the most frequently asked questions in schools nowadaysC. hold the readers’ attention and arouse their curiosity to go o n readingD. declare the purpose of the article: to try to offer key to those questions【小题2】What does the conclusion of the studies of noise conducted by Bridget Shield and Julie Dockrell suggest?A. Peaceful music plays an active role in students’ learni ng.B. Not all noises have a negative impact on children’s performance.C. We should create for school children a more peaceful environment.D.

They can be exciting films but sometimes all you want is a little light-hearted entertainment.Have you heard of Bollywood? All singing, all dancing and unrealistic, it is the perfect alternative to normal Hollywood movies. Bollywood is the Indian film industry, based in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay. 1 Yet Bollywood is the largest producer of films in the world. This year the Indian Filmgare Awards, Bollywood's Oscars, turn 50 years old.The typical Bollywood movie usually has the following ingredients: a cup of romance, a tea-spoon of comedy, a dash of international sight-seeing, served with a huge slice of singing and dancing. There will also be one brave hero, one beautiful heroine and one baddie. 2Bollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries. 3 The actors change clothes and locations within a single song. But the audience don't mind. To Indian movie lovers, especially the poor, such films are a gateway to heaven and the stars are their gods. The films take them to a magical world away from their everyday troubles. The films tell them the impossible is possible and that true love conquers all.4 Behind the beautiful scenes, Bollywood still emphasizes traditional family values. In most films, if two lovers want to break an arranged marriage, they can't just run away. They must win over their parents.Bollywood is a decent refreshing replacement for those over-stimulating Hollywood films. 5 They will take you to a brighter, cheerier and more colorful world, where it's still cool to dance around a tree and sing a love song.A．Bollywood has gradually won its reputation on the world stage.B．There is never any mention of politics, poverty or war.C．Most Chinese school kids have probably never seen an Indian film.D．Bollywood films are mostly comic romances with light-hearted incidental music.E. Bollywood pays great attention to traditional values.F．The result is a fun-filled musical.G．So if you're tired of all that Hollywood actions, check out the following Bollywood films.DThe Internet has opened up a whole new online wor ld for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 1 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.For anythin g you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 2If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 3 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.4 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else.5 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.A. It’s natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.C. Everyone was new to the network once.D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.参考答案：一、完型填空：1~5 BCDAC 6~10 CDBCA 11~15 ADCBD 16~20 CDBDD二、阅读理解：1-3 CDD 4-8 CCCDA 9-13CFBEG 14-18 DBFCG。

新高考高中阅读强化限时训练07阅读理解+七选五（含参考答案）限时：35分钟满分：50分阅读（共两节，满分50 分）第一节（共15 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分37.5 分）AThe world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in a place, men moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad to all living things in the world, but it is not only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop the people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from blowing dirty smoke into the air.The pollution of SO2 is now the most dangerous problem of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is certain that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must be careful of the rise in population at the same time.( ) 1.Our world is becoming much smaller .A. because the earth is being polluted day and nightB. because science is developingC. because of the rise in populationD. because the earth is blown away by the wind every year( ) 2.Thousands of years ago, life was it is today.A. much easier thanB. as easy asC. as hard asD. much harder than( ) 3.Pollution comes in many ways. We can even hear it. Here “it” means.A. water pollutionB. air pollutionC. noise pollutionD. rubbish参考答案：BDCBIslamabad, Pakistan, June 22nd Two mountain climbers surprisingly survived a fall of over 500 feet on the 25530-foot mountain in Pakistan Saturday. The two climbers were climbing anice-covered wall of the mountain when they suddenly lost their footing and fell about 560 feet to a narrow snow-covered ledge (悬崖突出部分) below. “We were lucky that ledge was there,” said the climbers. “Otherwise, we would have fallen over 2000 feet.” If the ledge had not been there, the two climbers would almost certainly have met their death. “It’s a wonder,” the climbers said, “that we landed on the ledge, and the snow was loose enough to cushion(缓冲) our fall. We are thankful that we survived.”When a reporter asked them if they planned to give up mountain climbing after their narrow escape, the two climbers replied, “Not at all. We’ll be going back up there just as soon as we get out of the hospital.”( ) 4.The mountain climbers survived because ____.A. they had fallen only 5000 feet downB. of the ledge and the loose snow on itC. of their strong bodiesD. they were very good climbers( ) 5.If there had not been the snow-covered ledge, ____.A. they wouldn’t have fallen downB. they would have been woundedC. they would have lost their livesD. they would fall into the deep snow( ) 6.How high was the ledge from the foot of the mountain?A.25600 feet highB. 2000 feet highC.25530 feet highD.

For example, Jenny is the name of a student from England. England is the name of her country. Cities and towns have names, too. Schools and office buildings also have names. All things have names. For example, tomato, potato and bean are names of vegetable. Apple, orange and banana are names of fruits. Names are important.We use names every day. When we meet a new person, we usually ask: "What's your name?" It's important to learn a person's name. Most people have two names. Some people have more names. Names are different all over the world. In Jenny's class, Jenny must learn the names of students from all over the world. This is very difficult because the names are different.In the USA, most people have a first name, a middle name, and a last name. Parents choose the first and middle names for their baby. There are names for boys and names for girls. For example, John, Peter, Tom and Mike are all names for boys. Elizabeth, Betty, Susan, and Mary are all names for girls. The last name is the family name. Usually it is the father's family name. In a family, the mother, the father, and the children usually have the same last name.Sometimes a person has a nickname, too. A nickname is a special name. It is not a person's real name. Abraham Lincoln's nickname was 'Honest Abe'. An honest person always tells the truth, and Abe is short for Abraham. Because he was an honest person, his nickname was 'Honest Abe '. Pele is a nickname, too. The football player's real name is Edison Arantes de Nascimento, but everyone calls him Pele. Do you have a nickname?Names are different all over the world. They can be long or short, but they are always very important.( ) 12.Why does everything have a name? Because .A. it is very interesting to have a nameB. it is very easy to be rememberedC. it is very easy to be told from othersD. both B and C( ) 13.It is difficult to learn names all over the world because .A. there are many names all over the worldB. the names in different countries are differentC. some names are very short, some are very longD. some people have nicknames( ) 14.Which of the following is true?A. It's easy for Jenny to learn the names of her classmates.B. There is no difference between girls' names and boy's names.C. Jenny doesn't want to learn the names very well.D. It's difficult to learn the names because they are different.( ) 15.What names are for girls?A. George, Linda, SusanB. Tom, Jill, CandyC. Elizabeth, Betty, MaryD. Peter, Jeff, Jack参考答案：DBDC第二节（共5 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分）Helping Students Find Their Writing V oicesOne of the most frustrating things for writing teachers is reading papers that simply lack style. When all of the research has been completed and all of the sentences are structured well, but the paper still lacks some pizzazz（活力），it can be boring to grade. If you are searching for ways to help your students find their voices, why not try making students themselves the topic of the writing?1 .Who are you?One of the most difficult questions for students to answer is “Who are you?” 2 In doing this, through writing, students will start to see their personalities differently and, hopefully, be able to add a feature to their writing.Dear John3 Encourage them to write to a famous person they’ve always admired, and then the one they absolutely hate. Explore how their language changes between the two letters. Whenstudents know their audiences, it is much easier for them to add the kind of personality their audience wants to see．4 When students write about what matters most to them, they will often give you the best writing you’ve ever seen. You’ll get those when you ask questions that hit home. When students have something to say about a given topic, it can be easier for them to get their ideas down and then work on their writing style.Get the words on paper, and then edit themThe most valuable lesson students can learn is to write first, and edit later. Have students write for five minutes about their topics. If they can get their ideas down on paper, that’s 90% of the battle.5 This can help them realize that, once they have the ideas down, the rest is just fine tuning（微调）. Once they have this skill mastered, it’s easy for them to start adding their own personal voices to their papers.A.What matters to you?B. What style is taught in class?C. When they write about themselves, students’ voices often shine through.D. Writing letters is a great way for students to explore their writing style.E. Have your students explore who they are and what makes them unique.F. V oice is that magical quality which is able to make a creative writing idea sing!G. After that, have them edit these ideas into a really strong introductory paragraph.参考答案：CEDAG。

第7练阅读＋完形＋语法填空Ⅰ.阅读理解A体裁：记叙文话题：森林警察词数：338 时间：5′Prince William kept the best for the last.After two days of his visit，his third and final day of activities in China included delivering a basket of carrots to a 13－year－old Asian elephant.In Yunnan Province，the prince heard about the dangers to China's remaining 250 wild elephants.He also heard of the story of Chang Zongbo，a forestry policeman，who has spent his life trying to protect what remains of Yunnan' s rainforest and its wildlife including elephants.For 27 years，Chang Zongbo has climbed every one of the mountains，hunting poachers (偷猎者)．“We go for days，following the poachers and then waiting till they' re sound asleep late at night.That's the best time to arrest (逮捕) them，” he says.Killing an elephant carries the death penalty (死刑) in China，a powerful reason for the poacher to resist arrest.And that has worked.The combination of public education and fear of the death penalty means that China is one of the safest places for an elephant these days.The major problem in China is the disappearing forest.Their habitats were surrounded by natural forest.Now the habitats are islands，completely cut off from each other by farms.Farmers build a wall to protect the people from the elephants.The elephants break it and walk into farms and villages.They eat up bananas.Sometimes they kill farmers.Mr.Chang is here to protect the elephants but he's also sympathetic (同情心)to the sufferings of the farmers.He is doing what he can to prevent elephants from damaging crops and lives.Before ending my interview，he tells me，“Every little part of the forest，I work to save it.Every elephant，I work to save it.So when I look my grandchildren in the eye，I can tell them I have done my best.” It's a message Prince William would echo.【语篇解读】本文讲述了一位森林警察多年来保护热带雨林和野生大象的故事。

位敦市安定阳光实验学校训练16 2阅读理解＋阅读填空＋语法填空(建议用时45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解AWhich comes first，happiness or money? Arericher people happier? And if so，how do people get much richer? A recent study could tell you the answer.The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29.Those who were happiest earned an average of $8,000 more than those who were the most depressed.The researchers，from University College London and the University of Warwick，say that very gloomy teens，no matter how tall or smart they were，earned 10% less than their peers，while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school，college and the job interview，chiefly because they always feel better about life.It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends，who are often the key to homework help or networking.A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness.In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women，Alas (the same gene doesn’t appear to have the same effect on men)．And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest.The big question is: if it is really true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids，is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework? The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades.Studies do show，after all，that more education leads to betterpaid jobs，which may give us a deep thought.“These findings show that the teenagers’happiness is important to their future success，” one of the report’s authors writes.“But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork.”1．What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study? A．Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier.B．Money can make people become happier.C．Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all.D．Schoolwork can help teens achieve success.2．The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that ________.A．they are easy to communicate with othersB．they are good at doing their schoolworkC．they are hopeful and optimistic about their lifeD．they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day3．The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means“________”．A．upset B．gloriousC．happy D．wealthy4．What can be the best title for the text?A．The way to educate kids.B．The source of happiness.C．How to achieve your goal.D．The secret of being wealthier.A【语篇解读】本文为说明文。

高三英语二轮复习课时训练7阅读理解+完形填空+语法填空+短文改错
训练7 阅读理解＋完形填空＋语法填空＋短文改错(建议用时45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解If your parents were to surprise you with a present on your birthday，which one would you prefer，a trip to the amusement park or a new pair of shoes?According to Science Daily，about onethird of the people are like ly to prefer shoes to a fun trip.These people are called “materialists”，namely，those who value material goods more than experiences.But which of the two choices makes people happier?Back in 2009，Ryan Howell，a professor at San Francisco State University，found that in the long run，experiences make people happier than possessions.This is because the joy of receiving a new object fades over time as you get used to seeing it every day.Experiences，on the other hand，can continue to bring you joy in the future through happy memories.But materialists should at least be happy when they first buy something，shouldn’t they?To figure it out，Howell did another study.He classified a group of adults according to their personality types，ranging from less materialistic to more materialistic.Each person was asked different questions to see how they felt about spending money on material goods versus spending money on experiences.As expected，the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases than the less materialistic，because such purchases didn’t fit with their personalities and values.But to Howell’s surprise，he found that materialists weren’t any happier even if they spent money on material items.This is because materialists worry that others may criticize or look down on their choices.“There are certain value systems that are rejected by society，” said Howell.“When we find out someone is materialistic，we think less of them，and that drives their happiness down.”Another reason is that materialistic people always focus on what they don’t have instead of what they have now.This makes them feel less satisfied and grateful.If you happen to be a materialistic person，there’s something you can try.“If materialists make more accurate purchases，rather than trying to impressothers，they will be happier，” Howell said.You should also remember what an ancient Greek philosopher once said，“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember what you now have was once among the things you only hop ed for.”1．What did Ryan Howell find in his studies?A．Material goods bring people less happiness than experiences.B．About onethird of the people prefer material goods to experiences. C．Materialists have more fun spending money on goods than on experiences. D．Receiving a new object brings lasting joy while the joy of an experience fades soon.2．What did Ryan Howell want to find out by doing another study?A．How to judge whether a person is a materialist.B．Why materialists are not happy with their purchases.C．How materialists feel when they spend money on goods.D．Whether materialists are happy when they first make purchases.3．Why does the author use the ancient Greek philosopher’s words in the last paragraph?A．To advise materialistic people not to try to impress others.B．To persuade people to be satisfied with what they have.C．To prove it’s unwise to be materialistic and desire too much.D．To tell readers what they desire now might one day become theirs.4．What can be the best title for the passage?A．Are You a Materialist?B．How To Acquire Happiness?C．The Best Present for the BirthdayD．Which Can Make people Happier?【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文，作者通过引用Ryan Howell的研究结果证实经历比有形物质更能给人带来快乐。

Ⅱ.阅读理解【现代科学类】Leon McCarthy,12,was born without fingers on his left hand.That didn’t stop him from being able to do many tasks.But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time.So Leon’s father,Paul,created a prosthesis(假肢),using a 3D printer.Now Leon has fingers that open and close.“It was a do-it-yourself,father-and-son adventure.”says Paul.When Leon was a baby,his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens.“The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with.”says Paul.As Leon got older,his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand,which can cost as much as $30,000.Paul found a more affordable solution.One day,Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand,a prosthesis created with a 3D printer.He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand’s creators for advice.They told him all he needed was a 3D printer—which costs around $2,000—and some materials.Luckily,Leon’s school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon.“We used a soccer shin guard(护胫), cardboard,and tape.They cost about $10.”says Paul.With his new hand,Leon can do things better.“I can help my mom more,because now I can carry two grocery bags.”he says.Leon’s father has already built several hands for Leon.Leon helps design each one.He says there’s one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis.“The goal,”he says,“is to be able to tie my shoelaces(鞋带).”1.Why did Leon’s doctor disapprove of his using a prosthesis in his childhood?( )A.The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.B.A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.C.To master the disabled hand was important.D.The original hand could do many tasks.2.Leon’s father managed to get Leon a new hand by .A.collecting money on the InternetB.buying a prosthetic handC.purchasing a 3D printerD.printing a hand3.The materials used for Leon’s hand can be described as .A.cheap and commonB.strange and valuableC.personal and lovelyD.basic and solid4.What’s the best title for the text?( )A.A DIY EnthusiastB.A Helping HandC.A Great AdventureD.A Lucky Escape语篇解读:本文是记叙文。
文章讲述了一位父亲用3D打印技术为儿子制作假肢的故事。
答案及剖析:1.C 细节理解题。
根据第二段中的The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with可知,医生之所以不赞成Leon在孩童时期就安装假肢是因为先学习使用那只有残疾的手很重要。
2.D 细节理解题。
根据第三、四段的描述可知,Leon的父亲购买了一些原材料,用3D打印技术为儿子打印了一只手。
3.A 推理判断题。

有了这只假手,Leon可以做更多的事情。
B项概括了文章主旨,作标题贴切。
Ⅲ.阅读填句根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
选项中有两项为多余选项。
Having a shy style isn’t necessarily a problem.It’s perfectly OK to take time to warm up to new people and situations.Here are some tips for overcoming shy feelings.Start small with people you know.Practise social behavior like eye contact,confident body language,introductions,small talk,asking questions,and invitations with the people you feel most comfortable around.Build your confidence this way.1.Think of some conversation starters.2. Think of conversation openers,like introducing yourself,giving a compliment,or asking a question.Being ready with a conversation starter (or a few) makes it easier to approach someone.Rehearse (排练)what you want to say.3. Practise it again and again,maybe even in front of a mirror.Then just do it.Don’t worry if it’s not exactly like what you practised or if it’s not perfect.Few of the things more confident-seeming people do are perfect either.Next time,it’ll be even better because it will be easier.4. Find group activities where you can be with people who share your interests.Give yourself a chance to practise socializing with these new people,and get to know them slowly.People who are shy often worry about failing or how others will judge them.So treat yourself like your own best friend.Encourage yourself instead of expecting to fail.Most of all,be yourself.It’s OK to try out different conversational approaches you see others are using.5. Being the real you—and daring to let yourself be noticed—is what attracts friends.A.It’s important to make friends.B.Then branch out into doing this with new friends,too.C.Give yourself a chance.D.Write down what you want to say in advance.E.Often,the hardest part of talking to someone new is how to get started.F.But say and do what fits your style.G.Shyness is an obvious shortcoming.答案及剖析:1.B 根据本段第一句“Start small with people you know.”此处“new friends”与之对应。
