Com Said this number had risen between 30 to 50 percent annually in the past two years with well over 1000 entering mainland campuses last year.The Internet site, based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, provides education service and information on Chinese mainland college and universities. “Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education giving more knowledge about t he people and culture in the mainland will increase their chances in the Chinese job market, Net. Com vice-president Ingrid Huang said.“I believe it will give me hands-on experience in business field in the Chinese mainland and a better understanding of t he Chinese mainland people,” said Lydia Chang, a 19-year-old majoring in journalism at Shih Shin University. Chang plans to go on to get a master’s degree in business administration in Shanghai, which she says offers the best environment for such studies.A journalism graduate student, surnamed Lin, at the National Taiwan University said he would like to study law on the Chinese mainland since “there will be better career prospects now that more Taiwanese companies are going there”. “They hope the child ren could build up connections which could later become useful in their business operations,” said Yang Ching-yao, professor of the Chinese mainland studies. A Netbig. Com survey showed the campuses favored by Taiwan students included Beijing, Qinghua and Renmin universities in Beijing, and Jinan and Zhongshan universities in Guangzhou. The most popular studies were law, business and Chinese medicine.At present, Chinese Taibei doesn’t recognize diplomas earned in the Chinese mainland nor help with any inquiries about studying there. But recognizing the trend, education authorities are giving a final form to a policy accepting certificates(证书)from selected universities.41.More Taiwanese students study on the Chinese mainland because ___________.A.Taiwan will reunite with the mainland sooner or laterB.the fees asked for are lower than those of TaiwanC.what they have learned on the mainland will bring them a bright futureD.there are many famous universities for them to choose42.Some business executives were sending their children to study in the Chinese mainland so that their children ___________.A.could receive better educationB.could learn more about the policy thereD.could make more friends there43.The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refers to __________.A.Netbig.

Who would have prophesied that the cutting down of forests on the Adriatic coasts, or in parts of Central Africa, could have reduced the land to a semi desert, with the very soil washed away from the bare rock? Who would have thought that improved communications would have changed history by the spreading of disease-sleeping sickness into East Africa, measles into Oceania, very possibly malaria into ancient Greece?These are spectacular examples; but examples on a smaller scale are everywhere to be found.We make a nature sanctuary for rare birds, prescribing absolute security for all species; and we may find that some common and hardy kind of bird multiplies beyond measure and ousts the rare kinds in which we were particularly interested.We see, owing to some little change brought about by civilization, the starling spread over the English country-side in hordes.We improve the46.The following examples except _______ reflect man altering the balance of nature.A.man is covering huge areas with new kinds of plantsB.man is facilitating the spread of animals into new regions.C.man is killing some species on a large scaleD.man is getting to know the importance of keeping the balance of nature.47.What had a piece of Canadian waterweed cause?A.Eastern Australian was overrun with forests.B.Half the waterways of Britain blocked for a decade.C.In parts of central Africa, the land reduced to a semi desert.D.Disease-sleeping has been caused.48.What have spread diseases?A.Disease-sleeping sickness.B.Measles.C.Improved communications.D.Malaria.49.We make a nature sanctuary for rare birds but __________.A.some common and hardy kind of bird multipliesB.rare kinds multiplyC.all bird multiplyD.no bird multiply50.The main idea of the passage is _________.A.that man is deliberately destroying the balance of natureB.that man has foreseen the consequences of altering the balance old natureC.that improved communications have changed historyD.that man is altering the balance of nature3People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June.Mother’s Day was proclaimed a day for national observance by President Woodrow Wilson in 1915.

Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber's bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.She said: "I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑)of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: "He didn't seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact (接触).”Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes."It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?'. My heart missed a beat."Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key."I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch.

One windy spring day,I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites.Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds dashing and dancing in the exciting atmosphere above the earth.As the strong winds gusted against the kites,a string kept them in check.Instead of blowing away with the wind,they arose against it to achieve great heights.They shook and pulled,but the controlling string and the clumsy tail kept them in tow(牵引),facing upward and against the wind.As the kites struggled and trembled against the string,they seemed to say,“Let me go!Let me go!I want to be free!” They flew beautifully even as they fought the forced restriction of the string.Finally,one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose.“Free at last,” it seemed to say.“Free to fly with the wind.”Yet freedom from control simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic gentle wind.It flew ungracefully to the ground and landed in a twisted mass of weeds and string against a dead bush.“Free at last”.Free to lie powerless in the dirt,to be blown helplessly along the ground,and to settle down lifeless against the first roadblock.How much like kites we sometimes are.There always exist misfortunes and restrictions,rules to follow from which we can grow and gainstrength.Prohibition is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition.Some of us pulled at the rules so hard that we never fly fast to reach the heights we might have obtained.If we keep all the commandment(戒律),we will never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.Let us each rise to the great heights,recognizing that some of theprohibitions are actually the steady force that helps us climb and achieve. 1.In the passage the writer watched .A.many young people enjoying the sunny dayB.many birds dashing and dancing in the skyC.many young people flying multicolored kitesD.the strong winds blowing against the sky2.What enables a kite fly gracefully in the sky according to the story? A.The kite itself and strange shapes.B.A long string and blowing wind.C.A windy spring day and blue sky.D.The size of the kite and a long string.3.What didn’t happen to the freed kite?A.It kept flying freely in the air.B.It lay powerless in the dirt.C.It was trapped in a dead bush.D.It was blown helplessly around.4.What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A.To give us tips on how to fly kites effectively.B.To warn us that freedom is actually powerless.C.To explain that restrictions are really unnecessary.D.To teach us a lesson that rules are important in life.1.C [细节理解题。

高考英语一轮总复习必修第一册提能训练:Unit 4 Natural DisastersⅠ.阅读理解A(2024·浙江1月高考题) On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letti ng the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weath er Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought,” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Doe s cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。

2014届最新高考英语一轮单元复习精品阅读理解提升文章精选一百篇(17)Unit 23My Greatest Olympic PrizeIt was the summer of 1936. The Olympic Games were being held in Berlin. Because Hitler insis ted childishly that his p erformers were member s of a master race, nationalistic feelings were at all-time high.I had trained, sw eated and disciplined myself for 6 years. I had my eyes especially on the running broad jump, determined to earn one gold medal for America.A year before, as a sophomore at the Ohio State, I'd set the world's record of 26 feet 8 1/4 inches. Nearly everyone expected me to win th is event.I was in for a surprise. When the time came for the broad-jump trials, I was startled to see a tall boy hitting the pit at almost 26 feet on his practice leaps. He turned out to be a German named Luz Long. He had easily qualified for the finals on his first attempt. I guessed that if Long won, it would add new support to the Nazi's "master race" theory. After all, I'm a Negro. Angry about Hitler's ways, I was determined do show Hitler who was superior and who wasn't.An angry athlete is an athlete who will make mistakes. I f ouled twice on my qualifying jumps. Walking a few yards from the pit, I kicked at the dirt disg ustedly. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to look into the friendly blue eyes of Luz Long. "Hi, I'm Luz Long. I don't think we've met." He spoke English well, though with a German twist. "Glad to meet you," I said. Then, trying to hide my nervousness, I added, "How are you?" "I'm fine. Something must be eating you. You should be able to qualify with your eyes closed." He said.he seemed to understand my anger, and took pains to reassure me. Although he'd been schooled in the Nazi youth movement, he didn't believe in the Aryan-superiority busine ss any more than I did. For the next few minutes we talked together. Finally, seeing that I had calmed down somewhat, he said, "What does it matter if you're not the first in the trials? Tomorrow is what counts." All the tension left my body as the truth of what he said hit me. Confiden tly, I drew a line a full feet behind the board and proceeded to jump from there. I qualified with almost a foot to spare.As it turned o ut, Luz bro ke his own record. In doing so, he pushed me on to a peak perf ormance. The instant I landed from my final jump -- the one which set the Oly mpic record of 26 feet 5 1/16 inches -- he was at my side, congratulating me. Despite the fact that Hitler glared at us from the stands not a few yards away, Luz shook my hand hard -- and it wasn't a "fake s mile with a broken heart" sort of grip, either.I r ealized then that Luz was just what Pierr e de Coubertin, founder of the mode rn games, must hav e had in his mind when he said, "The important thing in the OlympicGames is not winning but taking part. The essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well."。

Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils (灾祸).People's choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies' reactions (反应) toward them.

It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up toVicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber's bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.She said: "I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑)of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: "He didn't seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact (接触).”Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes."It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?'. My heart missed a beat."Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key."I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man's room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (带上手铐)。

1.(2023·四川内江·统考一模)Mike Wimmer of Salisbury, North Carolina, has always been a brilliant student with an interest in technology. He got his first iPad when he was just 18 months old and immediately wanted to know how it worked.He became known as “the math and science guy” at school, and he taught himself computer programming and robotics through trial and error and watching videos online. The 12-year-old has even started his own tech startup called Reflect Social. He hopes to use his technological know-how to help others.A year ago, Mike was attending Concord Academy High School while he earned credits through the dual-enrollment(双重注册)program at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College.When COVID-19 started, he was too young to volunteer to do something for it, so he decided to take a few more college classes since he had extra time on his hands. In just a year, he managed to complete a two-year associate’s program with a 4. 0 GPA while also finishing high school with an amazing 5. 45 GPA.On May 21, 2021, he graduated from community college when he was 12.

However, my favourite trips, and the ones in which I now specialize, are those involving mountains. Never do I feel more inspired by nature than when I look up at their towering peaks and begin to prepare myself mentally for the challenges ahead.I trained as a doctor in the UK, but there was little in that training to prepare me to deal with a broken leg during a storm on the side of a mountain! In fact, I’d say that medical skills come some way down the list of job requirements, after stamina (耐力), problem-solving and communication.This kind of medicine million miles away from the controlled, clean environment of a hospital, and your medical kit basically consists of whatever you can carry, so you sometimes have to use whatever is available. For example, I’ve learned that some drugs can be used for several conditions, and I’ve even had to cut branches off a small tree to make a piece of wood to support a broken arm.Now I do most of my work for adventure holiday companies, travelling to remote places. When I started out, these holidays were quite rare,but they have become much more mainstream now that we’ve all seen celebrities climbing Kilimanjaro or watched reality shows about people exploring jungles.I do have mixed feelings about all these people with large amounts of income coming to poor areas just for their own enjoyment, so I try to make sure that the companies I work for have high moral standards and bring advantages to the local communities. And of course, tourism provides employment, and also opens the eyes ofvisitors to the hardship that many people are forced to go through.5.What made the author choose his career?A.His love of nature. B.His desire for adventure.C.His talent for medicine. D.His sense of responsibility.6.What is the biggest challenge for the author during the trips?A.Reducing potential risks.

D.Dealing with emergencies.7.According to the author, the companies he now works for should .A.satisfy tourists and make profitsB.offer tourists challenges and securityC.benefit local people as well as touristsD.build tourists’ mental and physical well-being3.(2022秋·浙江宁波·高三镇海中学校考阶段练习)A flight last month between Campinas and Sao Jose do Rio Preto in southern Brazil became the scene of a spontaneous act of kindness that spread on social media networks.According to the website Aeroin net, a passenger named Sirlandia Dias Pereira was traveling with her son Caleb, who suffered from heart failure and had a heart murmur. During the flight she told the passenger next to her, Alex Pontes, that she was traveling so her son could be hospitalized. She also explained that she was relying on the charity of others for living quarters.The passenger talked to the crew of the airline and asked to use the airplane’s loudspeake r, inviting the other travelers to contribute to a spontaneous collection to help the mother and her son. “All of us would like to find an angel to help us. Those of us who feel moved to do so, let’s help this mother to take a little something with her, a little something we have and can share.” he said.In a matter of minutes, passengers offered a total worth near $400 which goes a lot further in Brazil than in the USA, plus applause for the mother, who was thrilled with the help and repeatedly expressed her gratitude to the passengers.The site that first shared the story later updated the article, adding that Caleb went through surgery and was recovering well. The website Razoes Para Acreditar reported that the story caught the attention of Brazil in TV personality Luciano Huck, who started a crowd funding campaign to help the family.This story just goes to show that a kind act can go a long way towards making an important difference in someone’s life. There are people in need all around us. Let’s not let these chances to help others pass us by! 8.Why was the mother traveling?A.To get her sick son treated B.To look for living quartersC.To change for a better life D.To pick up her son from hospital9.What did Alex Pontes do for the mother on the plane?A.He gave her $400 by himself B.He called for donation for herC.He helped her find a hospital D.He helped her attend to her son10.Why did Lauciano Huck decide to help the mother and her son?A.He was one of the witnesses on the plane.

The sprint legend and new world 100m champion spoke to us about her evergreen career and the legacy she wishes to leave for young athletes.Fraser comes from a difficult background. She grew up in Waterhouse, a neighborhood in Kingston that was marked by poverty and violence. She lived in a wooden shack with just enough room for a double bed and had to have meals with family members in a shared yard, squatting on a turned-over paint bucket.Sport is one of the few ways to escape this misery. All children in Jamaica run races even in kindergarten; there is no other country with a similar sprinting culture. But only a few actually succeed in building a career.Her life began to change when a woman saw her running in an international school competition in the United States. The woman learned about the circumstances in which Fraser lived, and from then on, she took over the y oung runner’s school fees, paid for her uniform and books, and gave her an allowance.Fortunately, Fraser didn’t let her down. From 2008 to 2022, nine of a possible 11 gold medals in the 100-meter have gone to Jamaican women. Top among them is Fraser, who has won eight of those titles, and more beyond. She has collected 21 medals at the global level, 13 of which have been gold.To many young athletes in her country, Fraser has become a real-life superhero and inspiration. But unlike cartoon superheroes, her secret is not in some fancy elixir or super food, but in a traditionally balanced diet, hard work and tenacity. Her life offers the possibility that it is persistence and courage in the face of struggle that build the heart of the lion.12.For what purpose did Fraser begin sprint?A.To show off her talent. B.To rid herself of the suffering.C.To draw people’s attention to the poor.D.To develop the country’s sprinting culture.13.All of the following about Fraser are mentioned except _______.A.her family background B.her schooling experienceC.her achievements in sport D.her influence on young athletes14.What makes Fraser a superhero according to the author?A.Talent and hard work.

In 2018, Reis had a serious motorcycle accident and spent time in a hospital. The accident affected him deeply, body and spirit. He had several medical operations. Reis said he felt like he was “reborn” each time he woke after an operation. Following 88 days in the hospital, Reis was released and felt ready to change his ways.Lately, he says he just wants to make people happy by making bubbles. You can watch him perform his bubble art for hours at a time around the city’s streets and in its parks. Sometimes he puts out a glass container called a tip jar. People who watch his show can drop money into it if they want to.If the weather is good for bubbles, Reis makes a special mixture that can make bubbles the size of a small car. Humidity, or the amount of water in the air, is good for bubbles. So, he does not perform on very dry days. To make his large bubble, he puts a small rope hanging from two long sticks into the bubble mixture. As he removes it, he opens his arms wide and the bubbles begin to form. Once enough air is inside the bubble, he moves his arms back together to set the bubble free. Some people feel it looks like a bubble “ballet.”While Reis may seem like a bubble-making expert, he only got started in April 2020. Reis can support himself with donations from crowds that watch him perform. But money is not what stirs him to make bubbles. He feels his art is useful in more important ways. Not long ago, a woman told Reis after a performance that his bubbles had lifted her spirit when her dad died.Reis can see smiles rise from under the face covers worn by those watching him perform. Children cheer and clap their hands. Reis said such reactions make him feel like an essential worker whose job is to spread joy during the health crisis.“I’m just trying to put a smile on somebody’s face by doing some bubbles.” said Reis.16.What can we know about Kurth Reis from Paragraph 1?A.He had to repay his operation fees.B.He intended to do something different.C.He suffered a minor motorcycle accident.D.He gave up his career as a motorcyclist.17.What may people do when they watch Reis’ performances?A.Put some money into a tip jar near him.B.Give him a hand when he sets a bubble free.C.Grasp a small rope hanging from two long sticks.D.Add a special mixture to help him make large bubbles.18.What does the underlined word “stirs” mean in Paragraph 4?A.forces B.determines C.stops D.encourages19.What is the best title for the text?A.Lost Time Is Never Found AgainB.Ups and Downs Make One StrongC.Everything Comes to Him Who WaitsD.Small Actions Have a Big Impact6.(2023秋·安徽·高三校联考期末)How would you translate Chairman Mao Zedong’s expression: “Bu Ai Hong Zhuang Ai Wu Zhuang”? “English or American translators might use the words: They love uniforms not gay dresses,” said Xu Yuanchong, a well-known Chinese translator and the first Asian winner of the world’s highest prize for translation, the Aurora Borealis Prize. Xu thought that this translation was correct but not beautiful at all. He cleverly used just two words—“face” and “powder”—to translate it as “To face the powder and not to powder the face”, which became one of Xu’s most representative translations.Xu thought that the equivalence (相同) of idea, sound and form were the three basic elements found in good translation. However, his method—recreation instead of literal (字面的)—is controversial. Some people said that it was different from the original text. “I think not.” Xu replied firmly. “Western languages are comparable. It’s easy to find the equivalent of English in other languages. But it’s different in Chinese. There are only 50% of equivalents between Chinese and English. If you cannot find an equivalent, then you must find the best words to translate. To find the best word is innovation. It’s recreation,” he explained.Xu Yuanchong likes to communicate with the younger generation about academic work, hoping that working together to spread Chinese culture will contribute to making the world a better place.Xu Yuanchong also authored a book, which in Chinese is called “Meng Yu Zhen”, which literally means “dream and reality”. But Xu created a different English name for it. He used “A dream translated into reality”. “This summarizes my entire life. My whole life is about translating my dream into reality,” he explained.Xu Yuanchong was an expert at translating ancient Chinese poems into English and French but even at the age of 96 had one dream still to fulfill—to translate all of Shakespeare’s works into Chinese.20.What does Xu Yuanchong’s translation mainly focus on?A.The accuracy of grammar. B.The surface meaning.C.Internal meaning and language beauty. D.Consistence with the original.21.What does the underli ned word “controversial” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Debatable. B.Conventional. C.Admirable. D.Fundamental.22.Why does Xu Yuanchong like to be with young people?A.To keep a young mind inside himself.B.To teach them more academic knowledge.C.To make up for his existing translation skills.D.To jointly improve the world with Chinese culture.23.Which of the following cam be used to describe Xu Yuanchong?A.Smart and tolerant. B.Creative and ambitious.C.Humorous and generous. D.Cooperative and sensitive.7.(2023·四川凉山·统考一模)In my bag I always carry the same essential items: my keys, my purse, some loose change, my mobile phone, and my little blue vocabulary notebook. This year I am living abroad in Germany and I am trying to learn as much German as possible. I always knew that living abroad would be a great way to learn a foreign language, but one thing I didn’t realize was how many new words and phrases I would come across every day. I see and hear new words everywhere: the announcements in the train station, menus in cafes, on social media, in the local newspaper, and of course from my German -speaking friends; New words are all around you when you are in a foreign country.At first, I was slightly overwhelmed by the large amounts of German I did n’t understand- speaking German in Germany is definitely very different from in the classroom. I kept on looking up new words, and by the end of the day, I had forgotten most of them already. It was very frustrating. After a month of worrying that I would never improve my language skills, I went to the stationery shop and bought a small notebook which easily fits into my handbag or even into my back pocket. I set myself the goal of writing five new words or phrases a day into my little blue book and soon enough, it became one of my most valuable language-learning tools.I don’t have any rules about which words I write down. Most days I write down words I learn from my colleagues at work, words that I have read but I don’t understand, or words that I have lea rned from seeing them in context. For example, I have learned the names of many fruits and vegetables from looking at their labels in the supermarket (a very unexpected source of vocabulary) and I have learned many words that I have learned on TV or on the radio. It doesn’t even matter if I know how to spell a new word straight away. If I hear a word but I don’t know how to spell it, I write down how I think it sounds and look it up later.My little blue vocabulary book is now like my sidekick(助手). We are like Batman and Robin; we go everywhere together. Setting this small daily goal has made me feel much more in control of my language learning and I am already seeing my improvement. I will continue to use it for the rest of my stay in Germany and also when I return to university at home in September.24.According to Paragraph 1, which statement is false?A.The author tried hard to improve his German.B.The author always carries some small money in the bag.C.The author always came across new words when living in Germany.D.The author always knew he would make many friends in Germany.25.What does the word “overwhelmed” underlined in Paragraph 2 mean?A.annoyed B.disturbed C.defeated D.worried26.Which does the author think is a surprising source of vocabulary?A.Menus in cafes. B.The supermarket. C.Stationary shops. D.TV and radio.27.Which would be the best title for this passage?A.My Best Helper in Vocabulary Learning B.Difficulties of Living in GermanyC.Ways to Improve the Communication Skills D.Improve life Using Pen and Paper8.(2023·吉林·东北师大附中校联考模拟预测)Leia was fresh out of college when she began working as a member of a business-development team at a mid- size tech company. Though her skills had earned her the job, she was the youngest person in the team. “Everybody else was pretty much twice my age,” she says. “I heard about comments being made behind my back. There were a couple of times when my superiors referred to my age right in front of me, saying I was too young, ‘What does a 23- year-old know about these things?’”Leia tried to change things by altering her appearance at work. “I changed the way I dressed. I tried to dress older, more ‘ladylike’. I changed my mannerisms and tried to act older,”she says. “It worked, to an extent.” The comments about her age and perceived ( 认定的) inexperience lessened, but Leia says she still felt like her growth potential was limited. She left the company soon after.What Leia experienced was ageism traditionally seen as something only older people face. For instance, older workers might be judged based on assumptions that they won’t fit into a progressive office dynamics or learn technology as quickly. A US study showed that nearly two-thirds of workers aged 45 and older had seen or experienced age discrimination. But younger workers face age discrimination, too. In fact, new research shows it may actually be the youngest team members who are bearing the impact of workplace ageism right now.Leia says removing ageism entirely will ultimately require a fundamental change to corporate culture, which has long tied seniority ( 资历) to skill. “We prize years of experience a little too much, and I don’t think years of experience and skill are necessarily related,” she says. “Steve Jobs was 21 when he founded Apple. We don’t know how much younger people actually have to contribute. Hopefully, more employers are realizing it.”28.What was the main topic of Leia’s superiors about her?A.Her job skills. B.Her young age.C.Her cute appearance. D.Her family background.29.Why didn’t Leia stay any longer at the company?A.She failed to dress more lady-like.B.She received more negative comments.C.She felt pressure from her work to an extent.D.She wanted more space for her growth potential.30.Which statement agrees with the US study the most?A.Only older people face age discrimination at work.B.Young workers can’t fit into a progressive office.C.Older workers are very slow technology learners.D.Young workers are seriously affected by ageism.31.Why does Leia mention Steve Jobs?A.To offer information about the Apple Company.B.To tell about Steve Jobs’ unknown contribution.C.To say that skill does not always come with age.D.To show that skill alone matters to young people.9.(2023秋·北京丰台·高三统考期末)It was a week after my mom had passed away and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed to prick my heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.But something about my friend’s words—“I can help organize the whole thing”—stuck with me. I felt obliged (有义务的)to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total. I knew my mom would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never got defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I wanted in.So I enrolled in another race two months later. Considering I could barely run a mile, it was ambitious. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it religiously and didn’t let anything get in my way.Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a screaming argument there.I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after her diagnosis of cancer. “I don’t want you to feel guilty about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders.When the race day arrived, I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on.Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.32.Why did the author ignore the email in the beginning?A.She felt it hard to finish the race.B.She had no time to join in the event.C.She thought the research meaningless.D.She was reminded of her mother’s death.33.What mainly helped the author recover from her mom’s death?A.The company of her friends. B.The inspiration from her mom.C.The pleasure in going for a run. D.The success in organizing an event.34.Which of the words can best describe the author’s mom?A.Considerate and polite. B.Brave and humorous.C.Strong-willed and caring. D.Outgoing and patient.35.What might be the best title for the passage?A.How I Got Healed in Running B.The Loss of Sweet MemoriesC.What Matters Most in Running D.The Rewards of Great Friendship10.(2022秋·重庆·高三重庆南开中学校考阶段练习)It was a bright spring afternoon along the Maryland coast, and Jonathan Bauer, a doctor and his daughter, Ava, were taking full advantage of it. They were driving with the windows down as they headed home. Suddenly, the calm was disturbed by the sharp sound of tires.Not far ahead of them, a black pickup was sliding from one lane to the other. To the Bauers’ horror, it slammed into a concrete barrier, flipped over the SUV directly ahead of them, and came to rest dangling over the railing(栏杆) of the bridge. Bauer hit the brakes in time to avoid the vehicles in his path.And then a scream came from the pickup. Bauer ran to it. The driver pointed down. In the water was a car seat.A girl, about two years old, was terrified, floating on her back, kicking and splashing and screaming.Matters quickly went from bad to frightening when the girl rolled over onto her stomach. Bauer waited for the pickup driver to do something, but he didn’t move. Maybe he was in shock.He held no illusions about his chances jumping from this height into such shallow water. Four feet of depth was the most he could hope for. And were there rocks this close to the concrete pillar(柱子) of the bridge?He climbed onto the railing and took a leap of faith. A moment later he was bouncing off the sandy bottom-unhurt! Bauer swam to the girl in a few quick strokes and lifted her out of the water: mouth half open, eyes nearly closed, not breathing. Standing, he laid her against his shoulder and hit her back with the flat of his hand. After several attempts, thankfully, her eyes were opened, focused on him. He pulled her close, hugging her to shield her from the cold.Ava Bauer was so inspired by her father’s actions that four months later she became a firef ighter so that she too could save lives.36.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 can be best replaced by ____.A.bearingB.expectingC.enjoyingD.judging37.What do we know about the accident?A.Many vehicles rushed into a concrete barrier.B.A black pickup was crashed into by a SUV.C.Ava got seriously injured in the accident.D.Bauer managed to stop his car just in time.38.What made Bauer’s jump very dangerous?A.The lack of faith in his jump.B.Not knowing how deep the water was.C.The hard objects in the shallow water.D.The little girl’s being unable to swim.39.How did Bauer bring the girl back to life?A.By forcing out the choking water.B.By protecting her from getting cold.C.By breathing fresh air into her mouth.D.By dragging her out of the water quickly.高考质量提升是一项系统工程,涉及到多个方面、各个维度,关键是要抓住重点、以点带面、全面突破,收到事半功倍的效果。

But two of the world’s highest-ranked teams―with some of football’s highest-paid players―couldn’t get the ball into the net. And they were playing against sides that only just made it to the World Cup.With two defeats, one draw(平局)and no goals, France collected its newest title since rising to the top of the game four years ago: the worst defending champion in World Cup history.“I’m very disappointed, it’s the end of a beautiful story,” said a French striker David Trezeguet. “The story began in 1998 and ended today against Denmark.”France won the 2000 European Championships and was ranked the best team on the planet before the World Cup.Besides the goalposts and crossbars seeming to be against this unlucky team, France’s game plan has been the same for four years so opponents (competitors) know it by heart.Senegal, an African team playing in its first World Cup, surprised everyone by beating France in the opening World Cup match before entering the second round successfully.Uruguay and Denmark followed a similar to stop France, creating a defensive barrier(屏障)and launching many counter-attacks.Following France, Argentina became the second big-name to take an early plane home from this year’s World Cup.The South Americans were expected to become world champions for a third time. This was particularlybecause of an impressive display when they lost just one of their 18 qualifying matches.The team’s 1-0 loss to England on June 7 was the beginning of a nightmare for the players. But even after this surprising defeat, they never thoughtthat they would be going home so soon. But a 1-1 draw in Argentina’s final group match against Sweden made the unexpected a reality.56.By saying “two of the world’s highest-ranked teams” in the first paragraph, it means A.Senegal and Denmark B.Uruguay and DenmarkC.England and Sweden D.France and Argentina57.Which of the following statements about the French team is NOT true?A.The French team won a great victory in 2000.B.The French team got its title “the worst defending champion i n World Cup history” fouryears ago in 1998.C.The French team was the champions in the last World Cup.D.In this World Cup, French team’s balls hit the goalposts and crossbars.58.From the passage we know .A.France was defeated first by Denmark and then by SenegalB.Uruguay beat France and was defeated by DenmarkC.England beat Argentina and drew the next oneD.Sweden didn’t beat Argentina but kicked it out59.The underlined word “strategy” refers to .A.the way to persuade others to follow themB.the purpose with which they joined in the gamesC.the art of planning operation in matchesD.the suggestion the people of their own made60.Argentina was expected to become world champions because A.they won almost all the games in the tryout(预赛)B.they had won champions in World Cup three timesC.they lost the game to England only by 1―0D.they beat a strong opponent―Sweden4.Death Valley ls one of the most famous deserts In the United States,covering a wide area with its alkali sand.Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level,and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”--- the land of fire.Death Valley's present name dates back to l849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasant- ness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has beendeclared a National Monument and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising scenes,almost like the sights on the moon, every changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about,showing the most unusual colors.One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures stand on a frightening ground,as evening shadows move and lengthen.61.______ is the lowest place in the desert.A.Tomesha B.Death ValleyC.Nevada D.Badwater62.The name of the valley comes from ___________.A.an Indian nameB. the death of the minersC.the local peopleD.a National Movement63.From the passage we can learn that____________.A.no one had ever known the desert before the minersB.it's still not easy to travel across the desertC.people can find gas-stations,cafes and hotels in the desertD.people have changed the natural sight of the desert64.Devil’s Golf C ourse is famous for____________.A.the frequent windB.the colors of the sandC.dream-like sightsD.the sand sculptures65.From the passage we can see that the writer______________the Death Valley.A.appreciatesB.is fearful ofC.dislikesD.is tired of46―50 DBCAB51---55 CDCDB56―60 DBDCA61-65DBCCA5.I used to be a mortgage broker(贷款中间人) in the Phoenix area.

The flood crest, several feet high, hit the village of Khemis Nagua at midmorning yesterday as farmers from the surrounding area joined town people in an open market place.The roaring water swept the village’s living places, the market sheds (棚子), shoppers, cattle and farm tools for miles across the plain..The flood was over almost as soon as it started, the reports said, as the crest swept out to sea. Rescue workers quickly moved into the area from Sari, about 25 miles further south.60.

He, since a very early age, has been looking after cattle. At twelve years old he knows more about cattle than most of you. However, he has never been to school. Has this boyhad any education?Education is discovering about ourselves and about the people and things around us. All the people who care about us ― our parents, brothers, sisters, friends ― are our teachers. In fact, we learn something from everyone we meet. We start learning on the day we were born, not on the first day we go to school. Every day we have new experiences, like finding a bird’s nest, discovering a new street in our neighborhood, making friends with someone we didn’t like before. New experiences are even more fun when we sh are them with other people.Encouragement from the people around us enables us to explore things as many as possible. As we grow up, we begin to find out what we are capable of doing. You may be good at cooking, or singing or playing football. You findthis out by doing these things. Just thinking about cooking doesn’t tell you whether you are good at it.We learn so much just living from day to day. So why is school important? Of course you can learn some things better at home than at school, like how to do the shopping, and how to help old or disabled people who can’t doeverything for themselves. At school, teachers help us to read and write. With their guidance, we begin to see things in different ways.63. The writer takes the African boy as an example to show that _______.A. African children are very poor.B. some children are unlucky.C. there are many kinds of education.D. schools are of great importance.64. In the opinion of the writer, A. we have to learn from the people around us.B. the school is not important at all.C. only people who care for us can teach us.D. education takes place everywhere.65. One can find out what he / she is good at by A. what people encourage him/ her to do.B. the teachings of those he / she meets.C. thinking about it when growing up.D. trying and practising things.A. everyone gets education from the day he or she was born.B. different classes of people receive different kinds of education.C. the school is absolutely necessary if one wants to understand the world.D. everyone will find out what he or she is good at.67. According to the last paragraph, we know that .A. the school is not so important as our living places.B. the school enables us to understand the world in other ways.C. the school teaches us things which are useless at home.D. the school cannot prepare us for our daily lives.8.Do you know what it means when somebody tells you that he had “a catch-22 experience”?

专题19 阅读理解(议论文)1.(2023年福建省泉州第五中学高考模拟试题)Technology seems to discourage slow reading. Reading on screens tires eyes easily. So online writing is more skimmable than print. The neuroscientist Mary Walt argued this “new norm” of skim reading is producing “an invisible, dramatic transformation” in how readers process words. And brains now favor rapid absorption of information, rather than skills developed by deeper reading, like critical analysis.We shouldn’t overplay this danger. All readers skim. Skimming is the skill we acquire as we learn to read more skillfully. And fears about declining attention spans have proved to be false alarms. “Some critics worry about attention span and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline, ” The American author Selvin wrote. “But nobody ever said poems were evidence of short attention spans. ”Yet the Internet has certainly changed the way we read. First, it means there’s more to read, because more people than ever are writing. And digital writing means rapid release and response. Once published, online articles start forming a comment string underneath. Such mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun, but is probably lacking in profound reflection.Perhaps we should slow down. Reading is constantly promoted as a source of personal achievement. But this advocacy emphasizes “enthusiastic” or “eager” reading — neither suggest slow absorption. To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by immersing oneself in their slow comprehension of words. The slow reader is like a swimmer who stops counting the number of pool laps he’s done and just enjoys how his body feels and moves in water.The human need for this kind of deep reading is too determined for any new technology to destroy. We often assume technological change can’t be stopped, so older media are kicked out by newer, more virtual forms. In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle hasn’t killed off printed books any more than cars killed off bicycles. We still want to enjoy slowly-formed ideas and carefully-chosen words. Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading.1.What is the author’s attitude towards Selvin’s opinion?A.Favorable.B.Critical.C.Doubtful.D.Objective.2.Which statement would the author probably agree with?A.Advocacy of passionate reading helps promote slow reading.B.Digital writing and reading tends to ignore careful reflection.C.We should be aware of the impact skimming has on the brain.D.The number of Internet readers declines due to technology.3.Why is “swimmer” mentioned in paragraph 4?A.To demonstrate how to immerse oneself in thought.B.To stress swimming differs from reading.C.To show slow reading is better than fast reading.D.To illustrate what slow reading is like.4.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.Slow Reading is Here to StayB.Technology Prevents Slow ReadingC.Reflections on Deep ReadingD.The Wonder of Deep Reading【答案】1.A 2.B 3.D 4.A【导语】这是一篇议论文。

英国近千万牛肉汉堡因掺马肉被召回Ten million beefburgers are being recalled in a Bri tish scandal over horse meat contamination, it emerged yesterday.昨日有报道称,英国近日曝出的牛肉汉堡掺马肉丑闻事件,导致上千万牛肉汉堡被召回。
As revulsion(剧变,厌恶) over the issue gre w, more supermarkets and fast food ch ain Burger King were drawn into the row.Sa insbury's, Asda and the Co-op have decided to remove thousands of packs of frozen burgers as a precautionary measure(预防措施).Th e firms acted because the products were made by an Irish food giant which is known to have been supplying burgers contaminated with horse meat.Separately, Burger King confirmed it gets burgers from the same company. However, it said there has been an 'absolute assurance' that these are not contaminated.Food watchdogs in the UK and Ireland are racing to establish whether products made for other retailers, take-aways and restaurants are contaminated.Last night the Government and the Food Standard s Agency announced a UK wide survey into the authenticity of burgers and other processed meat products.The revelations h ave been met with anger and disgust, while the companies involved face prosecutions for misleading shoppers.Speaking at Prime Minister's Question Time, David Cameron, said: 'People in our country will have bee n very concerned to read this morning that when they thought they were buying beefburgers they were buying so mething with horse meat in it. This is a completely unacceptable state of affairs.'He war ned the stores involved, saying: 'Ultimately retailers hav e to be responsible f or what it is they sell and where it comes from.'The alert was first raised by Irish food w atchdogs earlier this week after horse DNA was found in burgers sold thro ugh Tesco, Iceland, Aldi, Lidl a nd Dunnes in Ireland.It subsequently emerged that burgers from the same batches were sold in the British outlets of both Tesco and Iceland. The beef content in one Everyday Value burger sold by Tesco was actually 29 percent horse meat.The te sts were carried out in November but the results were not released until they had been checked by experts in Germany. It is likely that many thousands of the burgers contaminated with horse meat have been eaten by families.。

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect.But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled-to $1.01 per pack-smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit.This is not a surprise to public health advocates.They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years,finding that smokers,especially teens,are price sensitive.Nor is it a shock to the industry,which fiercely fights every tax increase.The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message.Tobacco taxes improve public health,they raise money and most particularly,they deter people from taking up the habit as teens,which is when nearly all smokers are addicted.Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.In Manhattan,for instance,which has the highest tax in the nation,a pack of Marlboro Light Kings,cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday.In Charleston,S.C.,where the 7 cent a pack tax is the lowest in the nation,the price was $4.78.The influence is obvious.In New York,high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys-13.8%,far below the national average.By comparison,26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky.Other low tax states have similarly depressing teen smoking records.Hal Rogers,Representative from Kentucky,like those who are against high tobacco taxes,argues that the burden of the tax falls onlow income Americans “who choose to smoke.”That's true.But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low income workers from getting hooked in the first place.As for today's adults,if the new tax drives them to quit,they will have more to spend on their families,cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.【语篇解读】烟草税增加后,取得了立竿见影的效果——许多烟民纷纷戒烟。

1.(2022春·湖北武汉·高三武汉市第一中学校考阶段练习)In general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic(官僚主义的)management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it. In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.The workers and employees are anxious, seemingly because they might find themselves out of a job or they would say that they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. In fact, they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness(顺从)and independence. From the moment on they are tested againand again by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.Am I suggesting that we should return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.1.By “a well-oiled cog in the machinery”, the author expresses the idea that man is .A.a replaceable component of society, though functioning smoothlyB.expected to work in reasonable harmony with the rest of societyC.responsible for the smooth running of society and business operationsD.an essential part of society though individual’s function is insignificant2.The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that .A.they have to face the fundamental realities of human existenceB.they are filled with the well-founded fear of being unemployedC.they don’t have an y genuine satisfaction or interest in real lifeD.they are forced to give up their individuality and independence3.From the passage we can infer that real happiness of life belongs to those who .A.hold well-paid and life-long jobs B.enjoy high social status and reputationC.stay away from over-competitiveness D.outperform their fellow-competitors4.To solve the present social problems the author suggests the we should .A.turn to the production mode of our ancestors B.enable man to fully develop his potentialitiesC.offer higher wages to workers and employees D.take the fundamental realities for granted2.(2021·浙江·天台中学校考模拟预测)Are you a moviegoer? If, like me, you’re a fan of film, then there’s no better place to watch something than on the big screen at the cinema. You enter the dark theatre and take your seat, ready to be entertained. But while you are absorbed in some movie magic, many others are now getting their film fix at home.Over the last few years, cinemas have seen a comeback. Customers have been attracted by comfortable seats, and lots of choice of things to watch. Multiplexes in particular can screen up to twenty films at the same time, suiting all different tastes. In addition, 3D and even 4D movies can give the audience an extra immersive experience. So, what’s not to like about a trip to the cinema?One answer to that question is convenience. Rather than going out, it’s so much easier to stay in and watch movies on a TV screen via an online streaming service. There’s plenty of choice, and it’s relatively cheap as well.But, personally, I find there’re too many distractions, and watching at home is not such an event. I miss the cinema!The coronavirus pandemic has put the future of cinemas under the spotlight. Some have had to close because of reduced ticket sales. In the UK, it’s brought about a surge in TV watching and online streaming. It’s reported that half of UK adults will keep and continue using their new streaming subscriptions.This isn’t great news for cinemas. They rely o n the release of a big blockbuster to bring the crowds back, but the launch of new films, such as James Bond: No Time To Die, are being delayed. Disney has released its $200m blockbuster, Mulan, online instead of in movie theatres. John Fithian, from the National Association of Theatre Owners, told Variety magazine: “This idea of waiting out the pandemic to make your movies more profitable doesn’t make sense to me. There won’t be as much of an industry left to play your movies in if you do that.”5.What’s mainly talked about in paragraph 2?A.Why people don’t like to go to the cinema.B.What has helped cinemas make a comeback.C.How cinemas have developed in the last few years.D.Whether cinemas can remain popular in the future.6.What does the author say about watching films at home?A.It can hardly suit all different tastes. B.It’s time-consuming due to distractions.C.It offers a variety of films free of charge. D.It’s not as enjoyable an experience as going to cinemas. 7.What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 4 mean?A.Sudden increase. B.Short-term benefit.C.potential influence. D.Fierce competition.8.Which view would John Fithian agree with?A.The release of blockbusters cannot bring the crowds back.B.The pandemic hasn’t had a great effect on the film industry.C.Delaying the release of blockbusters can bring in more profits.D.Releasing films online is an alternative during the pandemic.3.(2021秋·吉林长春·高三长春吉大附中实验学校校考阶段练习)If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the wo rld around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies to become successful in real life?Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt ( 溺爱) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” who were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and after-school activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports.With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8 (great) and LOL (laugh out loud).9.What is the function of Paragraph 1?A.To show a public concern. B.To start a debate.C.To explain a scientific term. D.To introduce the topic.10.According to the text, which of the following may worry some adults?A.Oh-ohs’ poor eyesight.B.Oh-ohs’ tight schedules.C.Oh-ohs’ lack of independence.D.Oh-ohs’ strong creativity.11.What does the underlined word “heads-up” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Early warning. B.Warm welcome.C.Effective medicine. D.Sincere encouragement.12.What can we infer from the text?A.The author is one of the oh-ohs. B.Oh-ohs are likely to have a bright future.C.Oh-ohs will spend less time on phones. D.Oh-ohs will meet more challenges than adults.4.(2021·江苏常州·常州高级中学校考二模)Do you like writing a few paragraphs every day about your experiences, hopes, memories or feelings? If you don't, it's time to make a change now. Here is why.You will gradually become better at expressing yourself. When I am forced to write every day because of a book deadline(最后期限), I am always amazed at how quickly my writing and verbal(口头的) communication skills improve. When we become lazy with words, it is more difficult to describe feelings, share experiences and make ourselves understood.You will remember things long forgotten. As you write about memories, it is like opening an old photo album. Your pen begins to explore feelings and details you have forgotten, and dreams you have left behind. You suddenly remember people you would like to contact again. Writing is an activity that avoids distractions(分心) long enough for you to explore those wonderful moments of the past. Sometimes they are frightening. Sometimes they are wonderful and almost always they are helpful.Writing about daily experiences and feelings provides a recorded history that will influence how you make future decisions. There's a reason that the greatest leaders in history were students of history. They learned from what had happened before. Your history is important. Don't let it be forgotten.Writing reminds you of your dreams and keeps you moving toward them. It is a means of keeping track ofyour purpose and the goals that will lead you to achieve them. Reviewing what you have written is a perfect way to see your progress and to show when you have been distracted and may need to give all your attention again to your writing.Writing a little every day could provide the material that someday becomes a published book. When I wrote about my four-year-old granddaughter who had lost in the mountains, I never dreamed it would be in a book. 13.What did the author want to show by giving the example in Paragraph 2?A.We shouldn't be lazy with words.B.A deadline encourages us to work hard.C.Writing helps us better express ourselves.D.There're good ways to improve our writing skills,14.According to Paragraph 3, what does writing help us do?A.Improve our memory quickly. B.Think of our past experiences.C.Successfully achieve our dreams. D.Explore happy moments in others' lives.15.What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell about writing?A.It can be encouraging. B.It can be distracting.C.It can be disappointing. D.It can be interesting.16.What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?A.To tell how to publish books one day.B.To explain why the author loves writing.C.To tell how to improve our writing skills.D.To encourage us to write about our lives every day.5.(2022·上海闵行·统考一模)Building good transportation is a good idea. To have environmental value, new transportation has to sufficiently replace or eliminate driving to cut energy consumption overall. That means that a new traffic system has to be supported by reduction in car use. Traffic lanes should be eliminated or converted into bike or bus lanes. Ideally, these should be combined with higher fuel taxes, and parking fees. Needless to say, I have to struggle to make myself extensively understood. But they’re necessary, because you can’t make people drive less, in the long run, by taking steps that make driving more pleasant, economical, and productive.Lengthy commuting (通勤) time is a forceful factor which can slow the growth of suburbs. The farther people live away from cities, the longer commuting time they need, which means more pollution their cars produce. If, in a misguided effort to do something of environmental value, governments take steps that make long-distance car commuting faster or more convenient—by adding lanes, building bypass, employing traffic-control measures that make it possible for existing roads to accommodate more cars with fewer delays—we are actually encouraging people to live still farther from their jobs, stores, and schools. As a result, governments are forced to further extend road networks, water lines, and other facilities. If you cut commuting time by 10 percent, people who now drive fifty miles each way to work can find reason to move five miles farther out, because their travel time won’t change.Traffic congestion (拥堵) isn’t an environmental problem; traffic is. Relieving congestion without doing anything to reduce the total volume of cars can only make the real problem worse. Highway engineers have known for a long time that building new car lanes only temporarily reduces congestion, because the new lanes add additional driving. Widening roads makes traffic move faster in the short term, but the improved conditions eventually attract additional drivers, and congestion reappears. With more car on the roads, people think about widening roads again. Moving drivers out of cars and into other forms of transportation can have the same effect, if existing traffic lanes are kept in service: road space stimulates road use.One of the arguments that cities inevitably make in promoting transportation plans is that the new system, by relieving automobile congestion, will improve the lives of those who continue to drive. No one ever promotes a transportation system by arguing that it would make travelling less convenient—even though, from an environmental perspective, inconvenient travel is a worthy goal.17.In the first paragraph, the author gives us the hint that his recommendations are ______.A.not widely supported B.costly to carry outC.generally recognized D.temporarily beneficial18.According to the passage, what will happen if commuting time for drivers is reduced?A.Drivers will become more productive employees.B.Mass transportation will be extended farther into suburban areas.C.Drivers will be more willing to live farther from their working place.D.Mass transportation will carry fewer passengers and receive less government funding.19.Which of the following can be inferred about the author’s attitude towards the measures to improve traffic? A.They are environmentally beneficial and should be carried out immediately.B.They are well intentioned but ultimately lead to environmental harm.C.They will definitely arouse people’s awareness of environmental protection.D.They will only work if they can make driving more economical and productive.20.The author wrote this massage mainly to ______.A.support the claim that efforts to reduce traffic actually increase traffic.B.oppose the belief that improving mass transportation systems is good for the environment.C.provide a balance between suburban expansion and traffic congestion.D.indicate that making driving less agreeable is a way to reduce negative effects of traffic.6.(2022秋·河北邯郸·高三校联考阶段练习)Last summer, Steven Eaton received more than 200 young people on his organic farm. None of them said that they wanted to make money from farming. Some of them described it as a kind of protest against the idea that success means a big paycheck and many took it as a means to protect the environment.Steven Eaton understands such idealists(理想主义者)and he was one of them about a decade ago. In 2010, he was in a law school in Washington, DC, but not enjoying it much. Then he applied to work on a farm in WestVirginia in summer.“I felt lost when I was in the city. It’s in the field that I found peace and harmony in my life,” recalls Eaton, who now runs an organic farm close to New York City. “So I went back to West Virginia after graduation.”Farming—the independence and the connection to something as real as soil and food—was the one thing that he wanted to throw himself in to. And he’s been doing it ever since.But it wasn’t always a big happy folk dance.“I had a lot of failures in the first couple of years and I didn’t really know what I was doing,” he laughs.Eventually, he learned to be realistic about farming. “It’s good to be an idealist. But if you’re going to stick with it, and expect to make a living at it, you’ve got to be realistic about the business aspects: Money, managing money, borrowing money, and all the things that a business person has to do. You have to learn to like that and be willing to be good at that. That may even mean burning a little more fossil fuel, so you can get your produce to cities, where people pay higher prices.”That sense of farming as a practical form of idealism is probably the biggest thing the young people have to learn. When you’re farming, you have to put survival first.21.Why did many of the young people want to become farmers?A.To make a lot of money. B.To apply their learning to practice.C.To protect the environment. D.To study the pollution in agriculture.22.Which of the following best describes Steven Eaton as a law student?A.Idealistic. B.Realistic. C.Selfless. D.Successful.23.What message does Steven Eaton want to convey to the young people?A.Put environment before profit.B.Be realistic about the business aspects.C.Stick to your idealism forever.D.Find a much easier job than farming.24.What does the author think of Steven Eaton’s advice?A.Outdated. B.Useless. C.Funny. D.Valuable.7.(2022·天津·一模)How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents, he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, hisclothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.25.According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that _______.A.only children are interested in lifeB.life for a child is comparatively easyC.a child is always loved whatever he doesD.if much is given to a child, he must do something in return26.After a child grows up, he ________.A.will have little time playingB.has to be successful in finding a jobC.can still ask for help in time of troubleD.should be able to take care of himself27.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.People are often satisfied with their life.B.Life is less interesting for old people.C.Adults are freer to do what they want to do.D.Adults should no longer rely on others.28.The main idea of the passage is _________.A.life is not enjoyable since each age has some painsB.young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC.childhood is the more enjoyable time in one’s lifeD.one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life29.The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss _________.A.examples of successful young menB.how to build up one’s position in societyC.pleasures and pains of old peopleD.what to do when one has problems in life8.(2022·全国·一模)I major in Mechanical Engineering and Political Science. When someone hears what I study, I’m usually meant with two reactions. First up is a small smile with the word “overachiever” on the t ip of their tongue. The second is a look of confusion, followed by an exaggerated (夸张的) “why?”. The short answer: I want to be a problem solver, and engineering teaches me how to become that type of person. In addition, I also want to be able to look at the bigger picture.It’s the beginning of a new year, and a lot of first-years have plans for double or triple majors. However, as most of us quickly realize after that first fall semester, college is a lot! We are unavoidably forced to make choices — do we keep trying to make our double or triple majors work or do we completely switch gears? The thing I wished someone told me on day one is if you’re passionate about something, it’s not going to feel like work. Political Science can be challenging, but to me, it’s fun to read the Constitution (宪法) and see the impact each word has on our interpretation.This may sound hard to accept, but if you are double or triple majoring because you think you’re in a race with your peers, you’re only running yourself into the ground. Don’t double or triple major if you are doing it for a mark on your resume (简历), because then your life will be a living hell for the next four years. What is going to make you impressive is the passion that you have — whether it be in your study, career, or something else your career and study will enable you to do.Always think about your “why” when it comes to the schedule a double or triple major entails. Because at the end of the day, it’s going to be you doing the homework — so try to enjoy what you’re doing along the ride for what it’s worth.30.How do people tend to feel about the writer’s majors?A.Impressed or puzzled. B.Ashamed or challenged.C.Satisfied or confused. D.Amazed or concerned.31.What enables the writer to enjoy learning Political Science?A.The value of studying the Constitution.B.The influence of learning engineering.C.His career planning for the future.D.His enthusiasm for the major.32.According to the author, what causes multiple majors’ hard situation in college?A.Adjusting the schedule for majors constantly.B.Pursuing multiple majors out of competitive motivation.C.Making random choices without sufficient consideration.D.Estimating the difficulty of multiple majoring inaccurately.33.What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?A.To promote the concept of multiple majoring.B.To explain the reasons for choosing a double major.C.To compare the gains and losses of multiple majoring.D.To stress the significance of passion in multiple majoring.9.(2022·广东·华南师大附中校考一模)Quantum (量子) computers have been on my mind a lot lately. A friend has been sending me articles on how quantum computers might help solve some of the biggest challenges we face as humans. I’ve also had exchanges with two quantum-computing experts. One is computer scientist ChrisJohnson who I see as someone who helps keep the field honest. The other is physicist Philip Taylor.For decades, quantum computing has been little more than a laboratory curiosity. Now, big tech companies have invested in quantum computing, as have many smaller ones. According to Business Weekly, quantum machines could help us “cure cancer, and even take steps to tun climate change in the opposite direction.” This is the sort of hype (炒作) that annoys Johnson. He worries th at researchers are making promises they can’t keep." What’s new,” Johnson wrote, “is that millions of dollars are now potentially available to quantum computing researchers.”As quantum computing attracts more attention and funding, researchers may mislead investors, journalists, the public and, worst of all, themselves about their work’s potential. If researchers can’t keep their promises, excitement might give way to doubt, disappointment and anger, Johnson warns. Lots of other technologies have gone through stages of excitement. But something about quantum computing makes it especially prone to hype, Johnson suggests, perhaps because “quantum” stands for something cool you shouldn’t be able to understand. And that brings me back to Taylor, who suggested that I read his book Q for Quantum.After I read the book, Taylor patiently answered my questions about it. He also answered my questions about PyQuantum, the firm he co-founded in 2016.Taylor shares Johnson’s concerns about hype. but he says those concerns do not apply to PyQuantum.The company, he says, is closer than any other firm “by a very large margin (幅度)”to building a “useful” quantum computer, one that “solves an impactful problem that we would not have been able to solve otherwise.” He adds, “Pe ople will naturally discount my opinions, but I have spent a lot of time quantitatively comparing what we are doing with others.”Could PyQuantum really be leading all the competition“ by a wide margin”, as Taylor claims? I don’t know. I’m certainly not go ing to advise my friend or anyone else to invest in quantum computers. But I trust Taylor, just as I trust Johnson.34.How does the author feels about Tobnson’s concerns?A.Approving. B.Unconcerned C.Doubtful. D.Excited.35.What leads to Taylor’s optimism about quantum computing?A.His dominance in physics. B.The competition in the field.C.His confidence in PyQuantum. D.The investment of tech companies.36.What does the underlined word “prone” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A.Open. B.Cool. C.Useful. D.Resistant.37.Which would be the best tide for the passage?A.Is Johnson More Competent Than Taylor?B.Is Quantum Computing Redefining Technology?C.Will Quantum Computers Ever Come into Being?D.Will Quantun Computing Ever Live Up to Its Hype?10.(2022·浙江·模拟预测)It’s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful magazine cover story “I love My Children, I Hate My Life” is arousing much chatter — nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that bringing up a child is not a completely fulfilling, life-enriching experience. Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable, Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition. Even though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be extremely hard, Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment damage our moods can later be sources of intense content and delight.”The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardly the only Madonna-and-child image on newsstands this week. There are also stories about newly adoptive — and newly single — mom Sandra Bullock, as well as the usual “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant” news. Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom, or mom-to-be, smiling on the newsstands.In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation (繁衍), is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten-killing? It doesn’t seem quite fair, then, to compare the regrets of parents to the regrets of the children. Unhappy parents rarely are encouraged to wonder if they shouldn’t have had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the wide-open baby-size holes in their lives.Of course, the image of parenthood that celebrity magazines like US Weekly and People present is hugely unrealistic, especially when the parents are single mothers like Bullock. According to several studies concluding that parents are less happy than childless couples, single parents are the least happy of all. No shock there, considering how much work it is to raise a kid without a partner to lean on; yet to hear celebrities tell it, raising a kid on their “own” (read: with round-the-clock help) is a piece of cake.It is hard to imagine that many people are stupid enough to want children because it looks so fantastic — most adults understand that a baby is not a haircut. But it is interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of stress-free, happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small, subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting a part of the way celebrities live might make us look just a little bit like them.38.Jennifer Senior suggests in her article that raising a child can bring ________.A.very temporary delightB.great enjoyment in progressC.happiness in one’s memoryD.concern over love and hatred39.Paragraph 2 is intended to show that ________.A.celebrity moms are a permanent source for gossip.B.single mothers with babies deserve greater attention.C.news about pregnant celebrities is entertaining.D.having children is highly valued by the public.。

一轮复习最新高考英语阅读理解复习题(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解From quiet paths by a stream in a forest to busy roads running through a city, people have created various forms of routes in different places. These now exist all around us, and their use is imperative for societies. These routes have enabled people to move, transport things, and send information from one place to another quickly and safely. Throughout history, they have been important in our daily lives.Early routes were often formed naturally on land. They gradually developed over long periods of time while people traveled them on foot or horseback. A significant turning point in their history arrived when the first wheeled carts appeared in ancient times. Once this happened, people recognized the importance of well-maintained routes. Therefore, towns, cities, and entire countries improved them. As a result, life became more convenient, communities grew, economies evolved, and cultures expanded.People have established routes on water, too. Rivers and canals have served as effective routes for people to move around and carry things. For instance, in the old, Japanese city of Edo, water routes were used for the transportation of agricultural products, seafood, and wood. People have also opened routes across the sea. The seaways were critical for the navigation of ships, particularly in the days when they moved mainly by wind power. Using these sea routes, people could travel great distances, and go to places they had not previously been able to reach.People have gone on to open routes in the sky as well. Since the invention of the airplane, they have made it possible to travel long distances easily. Eventually, people became able to travel safely and comfortably high in the sky, and going vast distances only took a small amount of time. Today, we have a new type of route, the Internet. By using this worldwide route, people can easily obtain information that once was available mainly from books and face-to-face communication. They can also instantly send messages to large numbers of people all at once.As long as there have been people, there have been routes to connect them. Currently unknown routes will surely take us even further in the future.(1)Which of the following is closest to the meaning of the underlined word imperative in paragraph 1?A.accidentalB.industrialC.essentialD.traditional(2)Why is the example of Edo introduced in paragraph 3?A.To describe the difficulty of creating routes on the water.B.To emphasize the fact that it was an important city.C.To explain the use of water routes to move along the coastlines.D.To illustrate the important roles of water routes for cities.(3)What does paragraph 5 tell us about routes?A.Routes can be thought of as existing invisibly in the world.B.Routes that move information can be regarded as dangerous.C.The fundamental functions of routes are declining.D.The importance of different kinds of routes is the same.(4)What is the main idea of this article?A.Humankind first created various types of convenient routes on land.B.Improvements in transportation have come at great cost.C.Technology has interfered with opening up routes around the world.D.The advancement of humanity was aided by the development of routes.【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)A(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了从最初的陆路到水路和空路,再到如今的互联网,这些路线促进了人类的进步和社会的发展。

阅读下面短文,选择最佳答案填空。
CIn 2013 alone at least 20,000 African elephants were killed for their teeth. In South Africa over the last two years more than 2,200 rhinos were killed for their horns. These numbers are alarming, because current rates of illegal hunting are faster than birth rates,which could lead to extinction for these ecologically important creaturesin their environment. Indeed, some elephant and rhino populations are on track to be locally extinct within the next decade.If you are reading this, you may already be aware of these facts. But you might not know that wildlife trafficking(走私) not only threatens the existence of elephantsand rhinos but is also leading to extinction of other species, such as tigers, tortoises, sea turtles —and the world’s most trafficked mammal(哺乳动物)—pangolins.Pangolins are the only mammals that are entirely covered in tough scales(鳞), which makes them look very strong. But actually they are endangered mammals. There areeight different species of pangolins, four in Asia and four in Africa, and all are threatened with extinction. Although pangolins are protected throughout most of the countries where they live, high demand in East Asia, where the delicious pangolin meat is considered a delicacy and where their scales are used in traditional medicines, is driving an illegal trade in both live animals and pangolin parts. The number of pangolin trafficking is shocking. Experts believe that over the last 10 years morethan 1 million pangolins were taken from the wild. It is estimated that between 40,000 and 81,250 pangolins were killed for the illegal trade in 2013 alone.In February, the United States released a plan to deal with wildlife trafficking, which lays out the steps we will take to fight the illegal trade in wildlife,including pangolins. We are strengthening the carrying out of the plan; building international cooperation and contribution to protect wildlife; raising awareness to drive down the demand that is fuelling the illegal trade.Get involved and remember World Wildlife Day (March 3) by spreading the plan. Use social media and tell everyone that now is the time to get serious about wildlifecrime and end the demand that threatens species, big and small, from the huge elephant to the shy pangolin.1. How many endangered creatures are mentioned in thepassage?A. 4.B. 5.C. 6.D. 7.2. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3? A. Eight species of pangolins live on the same continent.B. Pangolins are not protected in most of their natural habitats.C. The scales of pangolins can be used as an ingredient for cooking.D. High demand contributes to the illegal trade of pangolins in East Asia.3. What can we know about the plan released by the US?A. Social media will be used to spread World Wildlife Day.B. Whether the plan will be worked out remains to be seen.C. The US will work together with other countries to protect wildlife.D. More and more people are advised to increase their needs of pangolins.4. What is the author’s intention of writing the passage? A. To inform us something about World Wildlife Day.B. To raise awareness of protecting endangered wildlife.C. To explain why pangolins are illegally traded in East Asia.D. To show how the United States is to fight the illegal trade in wildlife.参考答案1—4、CDCB(二)【2014模拟冲刺试题】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
Several weeks ago, a mysterious Christmas card dropped through our mailbox. The envelope was addressed to a man named Raoul, who, I was relatively certain, did not live with us. The envelope wasn't sealed, so I opened it. The inside of the card was blank. Ed, my husband, explained that the card was both from and to the newspaper deliveryman. His name was apparently Raoul, and Raoul wanted a holiday tip. We were meant to put a check inside the card and then drop the envelope in the mail. When your services are finished at 4 a.m., you can't simply hang around, like a hotel bellboy expecting a tip. You have to be direct.So I wrote a nice holiday greeting to this man who, in my imagination, fires The New York Times from his bike aimed at our front door, causing more noise with mere newsprint than most people manage with sophisticated(复杂的) black marketfireworks. With a start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness but carefully executed spite(怨恨): I had not tipped Raoul in Christmas past. I honestly hadn't realized I was supposed to. This was thefirst time he'd used the card tactic(策略). So I got out my checkbook. Somewhere along the line, holiday tipping went from an optional thank-you for a year of services to a Mafia-style protection racket (收保护费组织).Several days later, I was bringing our garbage bins back when I noticed an envelope taped to one of the lids. The outside of the envelope said MICKEY. It had to beanother tip request, this time from our garbage collector. Unlike Raoul, Mickey hadn't enclosed his own Christmas card from me. In a way, I appreciated the directness. "I know you don't care how merry my Christmas is, and that's fine," the gesture said. "I want $30, or I'll 'forget' to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day." I put a check in the envelope and taped it back to the bin. The next morning, Ed noticed that the envelope was gone, though the trash hadn't yet been picked up: "Someone stole Mickey's tip!" Ed was quite certain. He made me call the bank and cancel thecheck. But Ed had been wrong. Two weeks later, Mickey left a letter from the bank on our steps. The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to cash, had been cancelled.The following Tuesday morning, when Ed saw a truck outside, he ran out with his wallet. "Are you Mickey?" The man looked at him with scorn(轻蔑). "Mickey is the garbageman.I am the recycling." Not only had Ed insulted(侮辱)this man by suggesting that he was a garbageman, but he had obviously neglected to tip him. Ed ran back inside for more funds. Then he noticed that the driver of the truck had been watching the whole incident. He peeled off another twenty and looked around, waving bills in the air. "Anyone else? "Had we consulted the website of the Emily Post Institute, this embarrassing break of etiquette (礼节) could have been avoided. Under "trash/recycling collectors" in the institute's Holiday Tipping Guidelines, it says: "$10 to $30 each." You may or may not wish to know that your hairdresser, mailman and UPS guy all expect a holiday tip.55. The newspaper deliveryman put a blank card inside the envelopebecause_____________________.A. he wanted the couple to pay for the newspaperB. he forgot to write a few words on itC. he used it to ask for a Christmas tipD. he was afraid of asking for a tip in person56.
