高考英语名校模拟真题速递专题06七选五10篇(第一期)
备战2024年高考英语名校模拟真题速递()第一期专题06 七选五10篇（2024·浙江·统考模拟预测）When students get home, they usually sit down at the table and pull out their homework. Piles of papers rise all the way to the ceiling. American students should get less homework on a daily basis. 1Loads of homework can cause stress in a student and lead to health issues in the body and mind. Stress causes lack of sleep, slipping grades, tiredness, unhealthy eating habits, depression, and so on. Nervous breakdowns can make pleting homework much more of a struggle and also effect the health and life of a student.2 The remended amount is 10 minutes times the grade level. So first grade gets 10 minutes; second grade gets 20 minutes; third grade gets 30 minutes, and so on, but kids are doing much more than that. Twenty three percent of 13yearolds do more than 2 hours a night.3 There is no academic benefit for high school students after 2 hours and there are no academic benefits for middle school students after 1 and a half hours.Doing homework all night can take away a student’s free time and sleep. Always doing homework can lead to less time for sports and afterschool activities. 4 Worse still, hanging out with friends is decreased, so that means there is less socializing. Staying up late and doing homework takes away a student’s time to sleep. Not enough sleep can leave students tired, and at school they might focus less or fall asleep during class.Shouldn’t students get less homework so that they can be happy and have more time with family and friends?5 If teachers and parents tried to reduce the amount of homework, there would be a decrease in stress and anxiety and an increase in happiness!A．Lack of sleep can cause great stress.B．The more the students do, the less they get out of doing it.C．Administrators, teachers, and parents need to address this issue.D．Family time is also decreased, which can add more family conflict.E．Homeworkrelated anxiety and stress can affect school work negatively.F．Kids are doing more than the remended amount with no academic benefits.G．Anyway, too much homework can cause quite a few physical and mental problems.（2023·浙江·校联考模拟预测）Some people measure success by the wealth they’ve accumulated, or the status they’ve achieved. Yet, even though they’ve reached success beyond their wildest dreams, they still feel something is missing from their life. Their soul may be searching for something more. 6 Although everyone is different, there are mon threads that bind a life with purpose.Live by your beliefs and values.People who live a life of purpose have core beliefs and values that influence their decisions, shape their daily actions, and determine their priorities. They place significant value on being a person of virtue. 7 And they spend more time listening to their inner voice than being influenced by others.Follow your passion.People who live a life of purpose wake up each morning eager to face the new day. They pursue their dreams with enthusiasm, put their heart into everything they do, and feel that they’re personally making a difference. As James Dean once said, “ 8 ”Feel content.People who live a life of purpose have an inner peace. They’re satisfied with what they have and who they are. 9 As the saying goes, “The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money.”10People who live a life of purpose have a positive impact on someone else’s life. They are willing to help people in need and make their life better and happier. They gain as much satisfaction witnessing the success of others as witnessing their own.Without purpose, it’s easy to wander aimlessly through life instead of following your North Star. Without purpose, it’s easy to achieve remarkable success and still feel that life is passing you by.A．Make a difference.B．It’s the purpose of life.C．Put others before yourself.D．So they live with certain moral principles.E．The secret of success is constancy to purpose.F．Dream as if you’ll live forever and live as if you’ll die today.G．To them, the grass is greener on their own side of the fence.（2023·浙江绍兴·统考模拟预测）Who would win in a fight, a lion or a tiger? Well, if size has anything to do with the matter, the tiger would win. 11 They are also fast. They can sprint as fast as 40 miles per hour for short distances and leap as far as 30 feet horizontally. This makes for an extremely dangerous attack. You might not think that such large, fast, and ferocious creatures need help to survive, but they do. 12 Tigers are hunted for many reasons. People have long valued the famous striped skins. Though trading tiger skins is now illegal in most parts of the world, they are worth around $10,000 on the blackmarket. 13 Many Asian cultures believe that various tiger parts have healing properties.14 However, perhaps more damage has been caused through the destruction of habitat. Tigers once ranged widely across Asia, but over the past 100 years, tigers have lost 93% of their historic range.A major obstacle to preserving tigers is the enormous amount of territory that each tiger requires. Each wild tiger demands between 200 and 300 square miles. Tigers are also both territorial and solitary (独居的) animals.15 Since tigers need so much territory, it is difficult for conservationists to acquire land enough to support a large population of tigers. Even when these considerable spaces are provided, it is even more difficult to move around such large areas to prevent the illegal hunting. There is no easy way to preserve the wild tiger population without making large sacrifices.A．The tiger is an endangered species.B．Restoring the world’s tiger population is possible.C．Other parts of the tiger can also fetch a pretty penny.D．That’s because tigers are the largest of all cat species.E．Traditional Chinese medicine use tiger bones in some prescriptions.F．This means they generally do not share with other tigers the areas they claim.G．Humans have done considerable damage to the tiger population through hunting.（2023·浙江台州·统考二模）You don’t need to be an astronomer with a giant telescope to enjoy a simple but spellbinding activity: stargazing. 16 It’s so interesting to discover what’s going on. With a bit of practice, and knowhow from books and websites, stargazers can spot particular stars and also groups of stars.There is plenty to take in using just your eyes but some people use a telescope for a more detailed look. For the best results, choose a clear night when the moon is not very bright. 17It can be harder to see the stars in towns and cities. It is because of light pollution. The night sky is brightened by light from street lamps, shops and car headlights. The best places for stargazing are open, hilly areas or the coast. 18 It is our home galaxy stretching across the night sky and is best seen in summer and fall evening skies. If the full moon is up, it will be hard to see. Try going for a night hike instead! Let your eyes adjust to the moonlight and keep your flashlight turned off.19 That is camping in a national park under a starfilled sky. Many national parks offer various night sky programs, from telescope astronomy events to full moon walks with rangers. Besides, national parks are also great places to know about the animals that are awake at night and asleep during the day. Sit quietly and listen for these creatures.When you head out at night, always go with an adult. Dress warmly and take a blanket or a chair to sit on, plus a hot drink to warm you up. You might want to take a camera with you as well, so you can take a photo if you see something amazing in the sky. A whole new world es alive at night and is waiting to be explored. 20A．Get prepared for the wonder above.B．Just go outside at night and look up.C．You are supposed to avoid the full moon.D．It also matters which direction you observe.E．In these places, you can look for the Milky Way.F．What is the better way to experience the great wonder?G．Where do you prefer to have a stargazing trip at night?（2023·浙江嘉兴·统考二模）Hilde’s father was a reporter.

Hilde wanted to cover big stories in her town. Following the rules her father had taught her, she researched and reported stories in her monthly newspaper.The newspaper suddenly became famous when a murder happened in the town, and Hilde was the first person to report it. Soon, news organizations around the country were doing stories on Hilde.22 Some people criticized her parents for allowing her to report on something as unpleasant as a murder.Others criticized Hilde for “pretending to be a reporter’’. Some people even suggested she should be playing with dolls. 23 She responded with a YouTube video.“I never began my newspaper so that people would think I was cute,” she said.“I want to be taken seriously.’’That wasn’t the last time Hilde had trouble getting people to take her seriously. Sometimes, it was because of her age. Other times, it was because she was a girl. 24 Hilde continued reporting and her activities as a reporter have made her famous.Now Hilde has published a book telling her own story and the challenges she has faced. Some of those challenges came from Hilde herself, struggling to figure out who she was as she grew older. 25 But she is still just 15, and has plenty of time to decide what she wants to do with her life.

Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known. 26 These small changes in your everyday routine can have a big impact in the long run.Get eight hours of sleep.27 If we are lacking in sleep, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure and glucose(血糖) levels. These factors can all have an impact on cardiovascular(心血管) health.Engage in volunteer work.Doing good for others helps your selfesteem and relieves stress. 28 We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health, and volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network. Depending on the type of work you do, volunteering might even increase your physical activity.29Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease.

With thousands of pieces there, how do you know which to focus on? And once you see a piece you like, how do you interact with it? Here is some advice onhow to have a meaningful connection when you look at art.Get up close and personal.46 Therefore, take your time to observe qualities about a work that may not e through on a puter screen. That includes its look and the feel of its surface, the marks made by the brush and the path your eyes take when viewing the work.Stand back. Next, take a few steps back, stand in the center — and observe what’s happening in the big picture. What’s going on in the piece? 47 What are they doing? How are they related?Look at it from an angle. Then try looking at an artwork from its sides, because you might catch something you might not have seen straight on. If it’s something like The Ambassadors by Holbein at The National Gallery in London, if you stand to the side, you’ll see something that from front on looks very different. 48 That’s called anamorphic art.Move your body. If you’re looking at a painting, you can take a finger to the air and trace the outline of the figure or the movement of the brushstrokes. 49 This can help you see and feel what it might be like to make this artwork from the artist’s perspective.Consider the subject of the art.That can have a profound effect on how you feel about the workand perhaps you can learn something from it. Take the example of Andrew Wyeth’s famous painting, Christina’s World, which depicts (描绘) a girl with a muscle disease crawling across a field to get to her home in the distance. The painting personifies (体现) determination. 50A．So just keep an open mind.B．What have they gone through?C．When you stand to the side, it changes.D．How are the figures in the piece arranged?E．We have the luxury of seeing the real thing at a museum.F．When looking at sculptures, try the poses with your body.G．It can in a way relieve your stress to know we have this inner strength.参考答案：1．G 2．F 3．B 4．D 5．C【导语】这是一篇说明文。

The language will gradually become clearer in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that you can't control. So just make sure you spend enough time with the language. That is the greatest guarantee of success.Relax and make sure of the time spent with the language.Focus on words and phrases.Read what you are listening to.Chat with others in the language on the Internet.If you do want to learn the language, take control.The more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn.

A year with a February 29 might be good news if you are paid by the day or the week. But it might be bad news if you were born on a February 29.____36____. American English has a term for the unusual situation. February 29 is called a leap day. And the entire 12-month period with a February 29 in it is called a leap year. This year, 2020, is such a year.In a leap year, the dates jump over one day of the week. Let me explain. In 2017, the last day of the year, December 31, fell on a Sunday. In 2018, it fell on a Monday. In 2019, it fell on a Tuesday. But in 2020, December 31 will fall on a Thursday.___37___.The reason for a leap day or a leap year is because our calendar does not follow the Earth's orbit around the sun exactly.___38___. So every fouryears, we put all that time together into an extra day —or, what is officially called an intercalary(闰) day."Leap" is also an important word for two other common American expressions.___39___. If you want someone to investigate a situation completely before taking action, you might say, "Look before you leap." The other expression is a phrase of hope. Urging someone to "take a leap of faith" means inviting the person to take action, even if not everything about a situation is known. Interestingly, both phrases are completely reasonable to say to someone who is about to get married. On that note, some people choose to marry on February 29 because it is an unusual date.___40___. Leap years were believed to be difficult, and leap days unlucky and a bad time to begin anything new. Whatever you think about them, the change in the calendar will be gone soon enough. Then we can return to normal, and leap over February 29 as usual.A. One is a kind of warning.B. That's why we called it a Leap YearC. It just leaped right over Wednesday.D. Each year, we have a little time left over.E. You have to wait three years in between birthdays!F. As a verb, the word "leap" means to jump, or to move quickly.G. Some ancient peoples would likely tell couples not to do it, however. 【答案】E C D A G9.Any exercise is good exercise, but when it comes to losing weight, it's hard to beat running. After all, running is one of the most efficient ways to burn calories and get fit without having to restrict your diet.31 If you're not a runner yet but interested in losing weight, here are four reasons running can be the best exercise for weight loss.32 When comparing running with walking the same distance, studies find that running will lead to greater weight loss, most likely because your resting energy expenditure stays elevated(高的) after you run. In a long-term comparison study of runners and walkers, calories burned through running led to 90% more weight loss than calories burned through walking.Running is time-efficient. Even if the myth that running a mile and walking a mile burn the same number of calories were true, running is a considerably faster way to burn those calories. 33Running is convenient. Though many of us have accumulated a vast arsenal(武器，装备) of GPS gadgets and tech tees over the years, little is actually required to go running. You can do it alone. You can do it almost anywhere. 34 For this reason alone, running is the best workout for weight loss because it's cheap and accessible, and there are fewer barriers to maintaining a routine, even while traveling.Twowords: runner's high. 35 Fortunately, studies support what many runners have experienced on an anecdotal level—running can actually get you high. Scientists have found links between moderate to intense exercise and morphine-like brain chemicals, which explains the occasional flood of thrill that rushes over you during a hardrun. That happy sensation you had after your last race makes you want to go for another run, right?A. Cultivate the good habit of running.B. Running works even when you're at rest.C. You will never stick to a habit if you don't like it.D. The first rule of exercising for weight loss is that if you don't enjoy it, you won't stick with it.E. You don't need any equipment beyond a pair of running shoes.F. If you're already a runner, keep on.G. Most people can run two or three times as far as they can walk in a given amount of time.答案：FBGED10Friendly people are welcoming. When you are friendly, you make other people feel good about themselves and you also feel more confident about yourself. 31 Being friendly doesn't have to mean changing who you are but doing little things to make others comfortable.___32__ If you are not friendly, you might feel embarrassed when you first try to be more welcoming with others. One way to learn to be friendly is to think of an outgoing person and copy his/her postures(姿势),words and behavior.Be kind to strangers. An easy way to be friendly is to offer a smile to people you might normally ignore. Every day there are opportunities to be friendly with strangers. ___33___.Try to accept others.___34__If someone new tries to chat with you, make an effort to contribute to the conversation instead of giving one-wordanswers. In a group, look out for one who doesn't seem to know anyone and try to accept him/her into the group.Stay in touch. Sometimes we neglect(忽视) to be friendly with those we know the best--- our close friends and family. ___35__Therefore, you can send a warm email too let your mother know that you are thinking about her.A. Observe friendliness in others.B. Smile and remember everyone's name.C. They may want to hang out, but be too shy to ask.D. So friendliness is a win-win no matter how you look at it.E. Don't pass up the chance to be warm and make others comfortable.F. Actually, offering friendliness and warmth to them is also very important.G. Making new people you meet feel accepted forms a large part of being friendly.答案：DAEGF。

And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail? At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 1 Jealousy is sometimes known as the ―green – eyed monsterǁ and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and g each an imaginary amount of money. 2 Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own.

Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to dem luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action.

高考英语阅读七选五题型专项练习10篇(附答案)
Several times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are brought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally, and manages to make one glass of diet(节食)drink to last an entire evening.Tours abroad are difficult because hosts(主人)seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴会). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially-prepared dinner was arranged in a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly baked over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a whole roast pig was her serving.Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favorite trick of talking with her host. , King Tupou IV, carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.Reporters traveling with her have noted that the Queen will sometimes seem so carried away by a foreign leader’s political chat that she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech. She will lift her fork to swallow a mouthful, then put it down again to make another point, leaving almost all of her meal untouched.1. The main idea of the passage is about ____.A. the Queen’s favorite foodB. the Queen’s tours abroadC. how the Queen keeps her diet during her toursD. the Queen’s trouble with a foreign leader2. The Queen talked with her host and carried on conversation with him. The purpose of doing this is ____.A. to show her politenessB. not to eat muchC. to show her great interest in foodD. to hide her dislike to the food3. We can infer from the passage that tours are difficult for the Queen, because ____.A. she has to meet with so many important leadersB. she has to eat much oily foodC. she has so many reporters to travel with herD. hosts always present wonderful state banquets4. What probably is the Queen’s art of acting at state dinnersA. Appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.B. Drinking Malvern water.C. Eating a piece of turkey and some fruit.D. Eating much without being noticed.【答案与解析】1. C解析：文章谈到了食品以及女王的“tours”，但主旨是女王如何“keep her diet”。

高考英语阅读七选五专项训练（10题）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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
选项中有两项为多余选项。
专项练习一For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans．1 Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today．Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world．Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829． 2 He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847．Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business．This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention．After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes．Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals．Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners．At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth． 3 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners．These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more．In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets（铆钉）．This made the pants last a long time．Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent． 4 ．By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion．5 The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world．A．As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States．B．Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable．C．He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since．D．However, he did not get much business for those products．E．He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry．F．Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture．G．As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it．专项练习二Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations．They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago． 1The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly．Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses．2 So they arecalled "diseases of civilization"．Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none． 3 However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones．They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits．They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains． 4 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors．We eat more sugar．We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.5 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.A．Stone Age people lived a simple life.B．But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.C．In that case, they would live much healthier.D．Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.E．These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.F．People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors.G．Modern people used to suffer from "diseases of civilization".专项练习三For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school.1 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65 –team US men’s college basketball tournament (锦标赛). 2 Teams compete against each other in a single – elimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends.3 Colleagues against bosses.Big – name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little – known universities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little –known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. 4College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 5 About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $ 500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post – season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.A. Husbands against wives.B. The players will go all out for the games.C. But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.D. College students will ignore piles of homework.E. People are willing to spend more money on watching it.F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.G. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.专项练习四Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 1 Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green –eyed monster” and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. 2 Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.3 .But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”4They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. 5 .It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.B.The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C.As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”D.It is not true that British people are born jealous of others` success.E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.G. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.专项练习五1 When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive getsa new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view.The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. 2 .The first and most basic level of wants involves food.

By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. 3 It included such items as automobile sand new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “li fe-enriching”level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction－the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body－this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and serv ices, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. 4One this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. 5 In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.A．Then a third level appeared.B．Human wants seem endless.C．When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.D．There are several levels of wants in one’s life.E．At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.F．Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.G．Different people have different wants on each level.专项练习六We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 1 .So, you have to give a speech—and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble（结结巴巴）over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over.

2020年高考英语复习：七选五阅读 专项练习题10篇(含答案)
2020年高考英语复习：七选五阅读专项练习题10篇AIn the middle of the Pacific Ocean lies the tiny island nation of Tuvalu，the fourth smallest country in the world. This group of four islands and five atolls (islands made from coral) is famous for its sandy beaches and turquoise (蓝绿色的) waters and has long been a popular tourist destination for nearby New Zealanders. However, the nation of Tuvalu is at risk of soon no longer existing; not because of war or political change, but because it will be covered by the rising ocean.Tuvalu is experiencing the harmful effects of global warming. As global temperatures rise, so does the ocean temperature. Due to the scientific law of “thermal expansion,” when water heats it get bigger. 1．Most experts claim that the effects of climate change will make Tuvalu uninhabitable within the next 50 years. Problems are already emerging. As sea levels rise, ocean water containing high levels of salt is travelling further and further inland destroying the little amount of soil Tuvaluans have to grow crops.Even before Tuvaluans began to suffer from the effects of climate change, lift on Tuvalu was tough. 2．Most of the land on an atoll is rock-hard arid any soil that exists on it is usually thin and poor for growing crops. The nation has always had to import food apart from fish.More serious than Tuvalu’s lack of home-grown food has been its lack of drinking water.3．Therefore, Tuvaluans depend almost entirely on rainwater for their water needs. Unfortunately, due to a geographical phenomenon known as La Nina, Tuvalu often suffers from long periods of drought. In autumn 2010, after seven months of no rain, the Prime Minister had to declare a state of emergency riot only because of a lack of drinking water, but also because the water left was polluted with cholera (霍乱) 4．_____ Tuvalu’s problems have led some of its 11, 000 inhabitants to consider migrating to Australia or New Zealand.5．They know they’ll have to someday, but for as long as possible, they want to remain and make the world aware of what is happening to their homeland due to chimate change.BNewton's law of motion, where every action has a reaction, is appropriate not just to physics. 6．from the value of products and prices of produces to customer choices, advertising affects society and plays an important role in increasing business sales.7．When companies use advertising, sales increase, according to Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet, founder of a French advertising company. The increase in business sales also promotes the quality of life for consumers. Basically, advertising causes a chain reaction that increases the economy of the area where the product or service ad is.8．In the minds of consumers, advertising can add value to a product. The image or brand that advertising helps to create becomes a part of the product, which is what makes one product brand more valuable than the competitors. This is why a consumer may be willing to pay a higher price for a name brand product rather than buy a brand they are not familiar with at a lower cost.Pricing. 9．It spurs （促进）a sense of competition. When one company advertises a product for its price, its competitors want to stay competitive. Then they may lower their prices to meet the competition.Consumer choice. Advertising also has an influence on businesses because it leads to the creation of new products and improvement of existing products to meet consumers' needs. 10．However, when advertising introduces a new product that is better than the existing one. market share can quickly shift to the company offering the newly-advertised product.CPut on new set of gasses for a new viewToday I visited San Francisco’s modern-art museum. I was there to see a new exhibit about spaceflight.11．I like to “visit” this particular painting every time I go to the museum not only because it evokes（唤起）strong feelings, but because I always find something new.There's real pleasure to be found in revisiting a museum replaying a game or rewatching a movie. Some of that enjoyment comes from the feeling of familiarity of course.12．.There’s always plenty more to see, hear, taste, smell, feel, of understand the second or third time around. But how do you discover the exciting new thing in the familiar?One way is approaching whatever task is at hand by searching for the things that you didn't see in the first time around. First, recognize that everything is always changing.13．Second, remove judgment from the experience, if possible, and just observe what's new. For example, look for the ways in which a change in your neighborhood is interesting or exciting.14．That could mean removing sugar, coffee, a certain kind of media from your life for a specified time. Once the break is over, that same thing will have more of its former interest or excitement.15．So is true that novelty is fun, but given enough of a break in between, repeated experiences regain that initial excitement.DThings to Keep Your Brain Sharp and Healthy Later in LifeThese behaviors and activities are proven to help keep your brain young.Keep learning new things.Learning new information and skills throughout your entire life helps to keep your brain strong even in the later years of life. Activities that have the highest value for brain health are novel and complex to each particular person. What is easy for one person may be challenging for another. 16．Exercise regularly.Exercise can improve our energy levels, sense of well-being, sleep, and brain health. 17．Identifying why we do not exercise permits us to systematically break down our barriers, and to slowly change our behaviors towards a healthy lifestyle.Socialize and have fun!Friends provide opportunities to enable the sharing of experiences, new learning, challenge, emotions, trust, and understanding. Friendship also provides the necessary motivation towards activity and involvement. Engagingin new pursuits with friends often helps develop new life roles, which provide us with an opportunity to feel appreciated, enjoy life, laugh, and have fun. 18．Be health conscious.It is important for us to take control of our health and understand that we are in charge of managing of our bodies. 19．Once we establish our own role in the management of our health, the importance of a close and trusting relationship with our physician becomes apparent.Slow down and appreciate the silence.20．Our brains require time to process information more deeply, in order to gain more benefit from our daily experiences. A fast-paced lifestyle can cause chronic stress and have other negative effects on our health and well-being. Reducing demands we place on ourselves is an important step towards stress reduction, and a more fulfilling life.Studies have shown a relationship between spirituality and the immune system. As we continually learn more about the potential of positive thoughts to influence health, people are beginning to integrate these practices more frequently into their daily lives, and experiencing life-changing results.ESchool phobia is a type of illness which causes the students, typically between the ages of 8-13, to be afraid to go to school. Symptoms include stomach aches, tiredness, shaking, a racing heart and frequent trips to the toilet.21．Most commonly it is the result of separation anxiety, but it can also be caused by different kinds of stress. A child who has recently moved, suffered a loss, or gone through a divorce may develop school phobia, and phobias can also develop in response to bullying, an unrecognized learning disability, and poor self-image.22．Many techniques can be used to manage school phobia. But research suggests that much more effective treatment is required for school phobia to prevent problems developing in later life. Children with this condition usually benefit from seeing a psychologist or doctor who can help the child and provide assistance to help parents and school officials support the child. As soon as school phobia is identified, parents should take action too.23．, and it can prevent the child from succeeding in school.24．If bullying in school is a cause, for example, the bullying situation should be solved. A teacher can meet the child at the door and take him or her to class, and provide support so that the child feels a friendly adult is always available. Changes at home can include supportive language from parents, along with support like assistance with homework. If a child lacks confidence, parents may encourage the child to take up new hobbies. 25．Parents might also talk to their children about their own fears of school and how they got over them, and their own enjoyment of school and school-like activities.FFinancial Education-Awareness DilemmaWhen it comes to financial education, the majority of today's youth will regard it as a necessity for certain specific people who want to make their career in the financial world. 26．Actually, elementary financial education is a must for all, as money transaction is an essential part of our day-to-day life.Suppose you have $100 in a saving account that pays simple interest at the rate of 2% per year. lf you leave the money in the account, how much will you have accumulated after 5 years: more than $102, exactly $102,or less than $102? The test might look simple, but only half of the people surveyed gave the correct answer.27．The explanation goes as follows: People with low levels of financial literacy suffer from that lack of knowledge at every stage of their lives. Researchers on this subject say people with a high degreeof financial literacy are more likely to plan for their retirement. 28．On the contrary, people who have a lower degree of financial literacy tend to borrow more, accumulate less wealth, and pay more in fees related financial products. They are less likely to invest, more likely to experience difficulty with debt, and less likely to know the terms of their mortgages and other loans. Thus, the cost of this financial ignorance is very high. 29．What is the solution? 30．Like reading and math, financial education must become part of the core curriculum in our schools. Likewise, parents should engage in regular, constructive conversations about money matters. This will give their kids a solid foundation for financial well-being, whichwill keep on giving returns throughout the course of their lives.GFew things feel as painful as rejection. Rejection means not being invited to a friend's party. Rejection means having your actions criticized. Rejection means failure when you're trying to sell your idea. Every "no" indicates a door closed to you. 31．Developing your self-confidence is key. Rejection is simply the reaction or opinion of another person. 32．Never think you are worthless or unlovable. What you should do is make a list of things you have done well or contributions you have made. Review them every day. Fill your nighttime and early morning brain with confidence.Rejection will enhance whatever negative things you say to yourself. Even the most successful and confident people feel downhearted when rejected, but most of them never tell themselves how terrible they are. 33．Make sure what you say to yourself builds yourself up instead of tearing yourself down.34．Instead, they view it as an opportunity to further understand human relationships and inner strength. They avoid the pain of rejection and put rejection into context. Using rejection to your advantage involves looking on every blow as a learning experience. It also involves learning and growing from negative voice.35．You can feel the pain as you like, crying or locking yourself in, but don't let it become a long-term visitor. It is wise for you to respond positively and effectively.HAs is often the case, when we wake up feeling sleepy and with dark circles under eyes, many of us often make a decision: “I’m going to bed earlier tomorrow!” we are so determined. 36．We are still absorbed in what we are doing without realizing it is already too late the next day. This behavior is called “bedtime procrastination” (睡眠拖延症), and results from lack of self-control and our body clock.37．According to a study carried out by a group of health psychologists, 53 percent of the 2,400 participants said they didn’t follow their sleep schedule, delaying it at least twice a week. They delayed bedtime because they couldn’t stop doing other trivial things (琐事), which were keeping them up in the first place.People who generally have trouble resisting temptations and following their intentions firmly are also more likely to delay going to bed. They find it hard to control themselves. 38．Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bedtime. Those who get up late are more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning. Night owls would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. 39．Therefore, if we want to cure our bedtime procrastination, the intention to go to bed earlier is not enough. 40．We should have a clear understanding that bedtime procrastination is a big problem. The choices we make could turn out to be pretty important for our health.IJohannes Gutenberg-The pioneer of the printing pressJohannes Gutenberg was chosen to be the most important figure of the past millennium by the media. You may not be familiar with him. 41．Gutenberg is praised for having invented the printing press and therefore preparing the way for printing books.He was born into a wealthy family in the city of Mainz, Germany. His early training was in goldsmithing. In 1428，he moved to Strasbourg and lived there for almost 20 years.42．Gutenberg used his skills in metalwork for the mass production of books.43．That means that each copy of the Catholic bible and all of its 73 books were painstakingly handwritten by 10 penmen. Gutenberg fashioned a font（K）of over 300 characters, far larger than the fonts of today. To make this possible, Heinvented the variable-width mode and perfected the mixture of materials used by type factories up to the present century.44．Between 1450 and 1455，while preparing to produce a large Latin bible, Gutenberg thought to have printed a number of smaller books, a Calendar and a paper Letter of Indulgence The Bible or 42 lines, the oldest surviving printed book in the Western world, was completed by August 15,1456.The discovery of the modern printing press changed the way information was delivered45．Even today in the computer age, we rely heavily on the printed word or text for instruction, information and for the pleasure of reading literature.JThis summer, when earthquakes rocked Southern California on back-to-back days, it was a close-to-home reminder that we may one day experience the “Big One,” a quake with the power to kill and destroy. A few people, however, saw something else: a photo opportunity. Tourists poured to a large crack in a highway to see evidence of the damage for themselves and, of course, take a quick selfie.46．It feeds so many of the weakest parts of ourselves: our born attraction to images of human faces instead of landscapes or objects, our interest in capturing memories, and yes, our need for social approval. Yet, it is easy to feel uncomfortable with selfies and even laugh at them, especially when they are risky or in bad taste. So why do we take selfies?Selfies have become so common that my grandma does them when we get together. 47．Instead, selfies are a way for us to connect and communicate, and feel a more personal connection with people all around the world.In one example, researchers developed a #ScientistsWhoSelfie campaign studying how scientists posting photos of themselves with their work on social media influenced public opinion of the profession. 48．“Those scientists in general were described as warmer, but no less competent,” said Paige Jarreau, the lead author on the study.While some scientists refused at first, fearing that their colleagues would consider them self-centered or thinkthey take their work less seriously, those concerns disappeared once researchers explained that it could help build public trust. “This is not just me taking a duck-faced (嘟嘟嘴) selfie or trying to look cute on camera,” said Dr Jarreau. “This is me being able to better tell the story about my science in a way that helps people trust me.”49．Dr Jarreau recalled a road trip she made to national parks, where she witnessed so many people taking selfies, she began taking photos of the selfie-takers themselves. “Ask yourself: Why are you posting that picture?” she said. “If there was a platform that didn’t enable likes, would you post it?” After all, there are other ways to develop a social connection. You could send the photo to a private group. You could put it in a frame at home. You could be mindful in the moment by not taking it at all. 50．参考答案A篇：1．E2．B3．C4．A5．FB篇：6．G7．C8．A9．D10．FC篇：11．D12．E13．F14．G15．CD篇：16．C17．A18．E19．D20．GE篇：21．D22．G23．E24．C25．A F篇：26．B27．D28．F29．G30．AG篇：31．E32．B33．C34．G35．D H篇：36．D37．A38．C39．E40．F I篇：41．F42．D43．B44．G45．A J篇：46．B47．D48．G49．E50．A。

选项中有两项为多余选项。
01I started working at Pizza Hut in December 1989, when I was a freshman in high school. All new employees started by washing dishes and busing tables. If they proved their ability, they learned to make pizzas, cut and serve them on wooden paddles and take orders.1 I couldn’t keep up, and piles of dishes formed on all sides of me. Every time the pile decreased, the call came back to help clear tables out front, and I returned with mor e dirty dishes.My shift (轮班) was supposed to end at 9 p.m., but when I asked to leave, the manager, Jeff, shook his head. “Not until the work is done,” he said. “You leave a clean station. 2 However, I worked until after 10 that night.I stayed on dish duty for weeks. My heart sank every time I arrived at work and saw my name written next to “dishes”on the position chart. I spent my shifts behind those steel sinks. I hated every minute I spent on dish duty. 3One slow mid-week night, when I managed to catch up on dishes and clean out the sinks early, I asked Jeff when I could do something different. “Do you know why you’re still doing dishes?”he asked. “Because you keep complaining about it.” 4 But, he promised, if I continued to leave a clean station and not complain, next week he would put me on the “make table,”where pizzas were put together before being put into the oven. A few days later, when I reported for my after-school shift, I saw my name penciled not in the “dishes”box but in the “make table”box. 5A. I was excited.B. Some write on a chalkboard.C. I was angry and thought about quitting.D. Nobody likes to work with a complainer, he said.E. And I wasn’t afraid to let everyone around me know it.F. On my first night, the dishes piled up after the dinner rush.G. The people who make a difference in your life come in all types.02You don’t really need much to start running. Once you have shoes, socks, something to listen to and something to clock your time, you’re just about set. 1 Whether you choose a standard watch, a high-tech GPS watch or your iPhone doesn’t matter.1. Choose a shoeDon’t be influenced by brand names. Instead, try on four or five running shoes, jog around the store and let your feet decide. In a sweeping review of the science on running shoes and injuries, researchers found that the most important feature of a running shoe is —comfort. That’s it. 22. Choose a pair of socks3 Blisters from unsuitable socks are painful and could affect you for days. You want a breathable, comfortable sock. Some running socks are made from a special material that draws moisture (湿气) away from your feet.Look for a sock without thick (or any) seams (缝) and decide if you want a no-show sock or one that covers the back of your ankle. 4 Test them out to see how they perform when you run and sweat before buying more pairs.3. Choose a playlistRunning should feel like a reward. If you’re a runner who likes the quiet of running, then pick a quiet path and go run. But many people like a combination of upbeat music or books on tape to accompany them on the run. 5 They often read their own audiobooks and leave you laughing so much you forget the pains of running.A.

The hatching of a chick is both seasonally and metaphorically (比喻地) appropriate for a springtime holiday of rebirth. But the link’s origins could be a lot more ordinary.1 . One possible origin: the strict fasting rules of the time, which banned eating any animal product during Lent (the period of 40 days before Easter).2 . So Christians would hard-boil and store their eggs for later, according to Henry Kelly, a professor of medieval (中世纪的) studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. Some of those eggs would be given to the poor, and villagers brought them as Easter gifts to their manorial lords (领主). Eggs could also be brought to church as a Good Friday offering.3 , at which point the household of Edward I brought 450 eggs to be colored or covered in gold leaf to be distributed, according to The Stations of the Sun: A History of the Ritual Year in Britain by Ronald Hutton.4 , as colored eggs made flashier gifts between commoners.As new ideas about middle-class family life formed in Europe and the U.S. in the late 1800s, religious holidays came to include customs for children. 5 . Soon enough they were colored, hidden and hunted by kids all over the place, including at the White House, which held its first Easter Egg Roll in 1878.A. Easter eggs were a natural fitB. Hens, however, kept laying anywayC. And the tradition wasn’t limited to royalsD. There are Easter celebrations around the worldE. Decorating them began in Britain around 1290F. One of the Easter egg games is the Easter Egg HuntG. To look for the beginnings of the Easter egg, start in medieval Europe04Work Smarter Not HarderIn Dan Pink’s Free Agent Nation: The Future of Working for Yourself he closes the book with a long, excellent list of “Work Smarter Not Harder”type advice for people who want to start working for themselves.1 Below are my favorites.●Make a “to don’t” list. Prepare a list that contains all the things you shouldn’t waste your time on — useless tasks, unnecessary meetings, worthless phone calls, and so on. 2 ●Carry a notebook and pen. Thomas Edison did it. Virginia Woolf did it. And so did Charles Darwin. They carried a notebook with them everywhere and wrote down ideas that popped into their heads. 3 Trust me: This is a fantastic way to explore ideas and to weave creativity into the fabric of your life.● 4 Become a learning machine. Ask questions. Take smart people to lunch. Read. Read some more. Listen to audiobooks. Take classes. Added benefit: This makes life more interesting. Yet another benefit: Studies have shown that people who make constant learning part of their lives end up living longer.●Guard your calendar. Make sure your time is focused on your one or two top priorities (优先解决的事物). Ask yourself: “Is this how I want to be spending my time right now?” Remember: You are your calendar. 5●Respond to calls and e-mails quickly. Even if your response is, “I’ll get back to you,” try to get back to people within 24 hours. They’ll appreciate the politeness.A. Learn.B. Be quick, but don’t hurry.C. So treat your calendar with respect.D. Try to begin your day the same way.E. Page through the notebook occasionally.F. Then place it next to your “to do”list and stick to it.G. Frankly, the list is so good I think everyone would benefit from it.05Learn How to Have a Learning VacationGoing on a vacation to learn a skill you have long wanted to pick up sounds like a good getaway, but be cautious, said John Spence, the president of a travel company in Calif. “If you don’t pick the right skill for you, or go in with unrealistic expectations, your precious time off won’t be enjoyable,”he said.Here, he shares his advice on planning a learning vacation that you won’t regret taking: FOLLOW YOUR PASSION (热情). 1 . They include cooking, photography, art history, farming or a sport such as diving or horseback riding. To get the most out of the trip, choose something you’re passionate about.2 ? With whatever skill you intend to learn, figure out whether you want an immersion (沉浸) or only to occupy a part of your trip. It’s possible to learn cooking basics, for example, by taking a weeklong course at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland. Another option is to attend several half-day classes at the school and have more free time to explore the destination itself. “3 , so make sure that it’s what you really want,”Mr. Spence said.CONSIDER YOUR BUDGET. No matter the skill, you can learn it by taking a vacation in a wide range of price ranges. 4 . If you want to learn scuba diving (水肺式潜泳), for example, heading to the Maldives will cost several thousand dollars per person, while a scuba diving trip to the Florida Keys is a more wallet-friendly choice.DON’T FORGET THE CHILDREN. 5 , provided that they are fun. “Yes, you want your kids to learn, but you don’t want them to be bored by overloading them with too much information,”Mr. Spence said.A. A LITTLE, OR A LOTB. Don’t be influenced by others’interestsC. WHAT SKILL DO YOU WANT TO LEARND. Learning vacations can be great family trips, tooE. The options for what you can learn on your vacation are limitlessF. Having a clear idea of your budget will help you home in on the right tripG. Spending your entire break devoted to learning something new can be stressful06Astronauts drink their own pee (尿) — after it’s been cleaned. 1 Many experts, though, argue that recycling pee and other waste is an excellent and safe solution when there isn’t enough fresh water to go around.2 All of the water that astronauts use to drink, brush their teeth, or make coffee comes out of one limited container that has to be resupplied from Earth. To help conserve water, the waste from sinks, toilets, and even the pee from lab animals on board flows into a recycling system. First, the water goes through a series of filters (过滤器) to get rid of large particles (微粒) and impurities. Then, chemical reactions remove poisonous chemicals and kill any bacteria or viruses. 3Chris Hadfield, who lived on the space station for five months, says, “Before you feel uncomfortable with the thought of drinking your leftover wash water and your le ftover pee, keep in mind that the water that we end up with is purer than most of the water that you drink on a daily basis at home.”Astronauts, however, tend to be more adventurous than the average person. On Earth, cities in very dry parts of the world have attempted to introduce wastewater purification systems. 4 Citizens recoiled (退缩) in disgust. Despite scientific evidence that the water is clean, many people just can’t get over the fact that it once flowed through a toilet. In the 1990s, activists in San Diego and Los Angeles campaigned against “toilet to tap” water. 5 In a survey of 2,000 Americans, 26 percent agreed with the statement: “It is impossible for recycled water to be treated to a high enough quality that I would want to use it.”A. And you wouldn’t be alone.B. And the disapproval remained strong.C. What comes out is clean enough to drink.D. On the International Space Station, water is a precious resource.E. Lots of people feel sick at the thought of drinking recycled wastewater.F. Though some of these programs have succeeded, others failed miserably.G. Would you pick up a glass of water that’s been through a wastewater cleaning system?07Four things I have learned as a language assistant in Italy1. How to be self-sufficient (自立的)Living in a foreign country is definitely difficult, but doing things such as going shopping and opening a bank account abroad can make you more confident in relying on yourself. 12. A new viewpoint on my home country2 Working in Italy, I’ve realised how differently they do things here, and in some ways it’s given me a deeper appreciation of my home country. For example, in Italy, spending time with friends and family is just as important as going to work and concentrating on a career. I think I should take a leaf out of the Italians’book. 33. A better idea of what to do in lifeMy experience in Italy has inspired my love for travel and writing articles for various student and travel magazines has made me rediscover my passion for writing. 44. A love of art, history and cultureItaly is a country so rich in history that it’s easy to become a lover of the stories of how this wonderful country came to be. 5 As a country steeped in religion, Italy has religious art almost everywhere. I already enjoyed art and history before I came to Italy, but coming here has definitely made me love them more deeply.A. Art is also a large part of Italian culture.B. I will enjoy the time I have with my family more.C. It’s rare in Italy to have native language teachers in schools.D. But there are many positives that I will take from Italian life.E. I am also enjoying teaching, and my love for teaching has also been strengthened.F. Even using Italian to buy a few tomatoes has brought me a real sense of a chievement.G. It’s natural when you’re in a foreign country to compare it to the one you come from.08Several ways I get motivated to do housework●Set my timer! I have developed a habit of setting my timer when I’m doing my Monday once-over or my daily tidying routines. 1 When my timer goes off and I look around, it just proves that housework does not need to be an all-day unpleasant experience.●Start with the easiest task to get some motivation. Mine is usually folding the blanket on the sofa, straightening the pillows and picking up the toys in the living room.● 2 If I can clear off the dining room table, then I’ll clean off that counter top. And so on. And so forth.●Talk on the phone. 3 Talking on the phone makes chores go so much faster and suddenly the bathroom has also been cleaned!●Promise myself a reward. It’s usually a cup of high-quality coffee. 4 By the time I’ve finished my routine, I usually feel so good that I don’t even enjoy my reward.●Use TV commercials. If I’m having a truly terrible and tiring day, I do what I call the commercial method. 5 Then during commercials, I force myself to get up and to do a little 5-minute something.A. Last time it was a cookie.B. Deal with one tiny zone at a time.C. Listen to my favorite music while working.D. I love to see if I can beat my previous records.E. I allow myself to lay around and watch TV all day.F. I put on my earphone and call my sister to catch up.G. I’m never on the phone with my sister for just 15 minutes.09Talk shows are television programs in which a host sits down with entertainers, newsmakers, and other people, to talk. 1This type of program, sometimes known as a chat show, was one of the earliest formats (形式) created for television. Early hosts, such as Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Steve Allen, and Garry Moore, combined interviews with short humorous pieces of acting, musical performances, and improvised (即兴创作) audience participation. 2 The audience would be entertained by the anecdotes of the stars or the improvised funny remarks of the host.By the late 1960s, the format became more focused on the interviews themselves. Hosts such as Dick Cavett, David Frost, Mike Douglas, and Tom Snyder all became household names through their personal interview styles. Guests on these programs were encouraged to do more than simply promote an upcoming film or musical album. Cavett and Snyder were especially skillful at the “talking heads (发言者头部特写)” format. 3 By the 1980s, the talk show format had once again changed from academic interviews to aggressive arguments, with hosts such as Jerry Springer, Phil Donahue, Maury Povich, and Oprah Winfrey often booking controversial guests. Several of the controversial shows did not last for long. 4Modern talk shows are usually run at night hosted by such names as David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, and Craig Ferguson. They are often a combination of musical performances, audience interaction, and short celebrity (名人) interviews. Celebrities such as Ellen DeGeneres or Rachael Ray often host talk shows, since they can be produced quickly. 5 A. Therefore, they won’t affect the talents’other work.B. There are a wide variety of talk shows on television.C. Local television stations also produce their own versions.D. They drew their guests into lengthy academic discussions.E. Others focus on a discussion between the host and the guest.F. The key was to invite popular stars for live interviews with an intelligent host.G. Others changed their formats back to the traditionally friendly guest / host relationship.10How to Bring a Friendship BackWhether from lifestyle adjustment, conflict, or the development of different interests, everyone sees a friendship fade from time to time. Maybe you’ve come around and want to see an old disagreement solved. 1 Fortunately, there are clear and constructive steps you can take to indicate your interest in reconnecting and begin the process of bringing a friendship back.Take the first step.2 If you want to reconnect, make yourself available and invite your friend to meet with you. A phone call or an email is quick, easy, and respectful way to convey your interest in speaking or spending time together.3The depth of your previous friendship, and the degree to which you’ve grown apart are important factors (因素) when considering how you should approach an old friend. For example, if you simply haven’t seen or spoken with someone in a while, reach out casually.A message on an online media platform that you both use may work.Don’t worry about how long it’s been.Don’t feel as though your friendship has ended or become less important. Friendships often change when people get married, move, or have kids. If you’re missing an old friend, there’s a good chance your friend misses you as well. 4Be persistent (坚持不懈的), but not over-eager.If your friend doesn’t respond, you can try to convey your hopes to reconnect again. 5 Allow time in between contact. If they simply don’t respond, accept the fact that they may not be ready or willing to reconnect at present.A. Don’t rush though.B. Reach out in the right way.C. Don’t wait for your friend to reach out.D. It is always appropriate to try to reconnect.E. The more personal approach will indicate your interest in reconnecting.F. Maybe you simply want to reduce the distance between you and an old friend.G. Take care not to make them feel as though they are under pressure to respond.七选五10套模拟题答案1 FCEDA2 GAFEB3 GBECA4 GFEAC5 EAGFD6 EDCFB7 FGBEA8 DBFAE9 BFDGA 10 FCBDA。

A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.36Go to the original source .Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study.37Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does no t mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result.38 Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to betrue, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertiseme nts.39 Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术).40 Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.A. Make choices that are right for you.B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.D. And examine the findings of the original research.E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view.G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.参考答案：36-40 GDFBAEveryone loves travelling, right?
