But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don‟t say!” “You don‟t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “Well, I‟d better change the topic.” So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it” Soon I was interrupted again by his words：“You don‟t say!” I couldn‟t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn‟t request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn‟t you say …you don‟t say‟?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “…You don‟t say‟ actually means …really?‟ It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don‟t pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.36. A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because _______ .A．English idioms were not importantB．I was not careful with English idiomsC．My teacher didn‟t emphasize the im portance of themD．I had no interest in them37. At first, on hearing “You don‟t say,” I thought the foreigner meant ___ .A．he was not interested in the topicB．he was only interested in the Great WallC．I had talked too muchD．I had to stop talking38. The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means ____ .A．interesting B．important C．terrible D．unlucky39. After the Englishman explained the idiom, __________ .A．I thought the Englishman had made me a foolB．the Englishman became a real foolC．I felt very sillyD．I became more careful in everythingBParents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers（青少年）. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut.” Joanna noted.Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up（蜷伏）with me on the sofa and talk ,” said Mark . “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which. ”Before a ge 11, children like to tell their parents what‟s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list.” said Michael Rita, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years.” Rita explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”Parents who know what‟s going on in their teenagers‟ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say , and try to find ways to talk and write to them . And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing, parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.40. “The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son .A. is always busy with his studiesB. doesn‟t want to be disturbedC. keeps himself away from his parentsD. begins to dislike his parents41. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that .A. their daughter isn‟t as lovely as beforeB. they can‟t read their daughter‟s mind exactlyC. they don‟t know what to say to their daughterD. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help42. Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph ?A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.B. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.C. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.D. Teenagers talk little about their own lives.43. What can be learned from the passage?A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children.B. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.C. Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.D. Parents should try to understand their teenagers.。

In San Francisco, “the center of tech”, 40% of older adults do not have basic digital literacy skills.This situation is becoming appalling as over 10,000 Americans turn 65 every single day. By 2050,22% of Americans will be 65 or older. Meanwhile, technology is developing very fast. This means that a large number of people will be unable to proficiently use emergent technology.Many people believe that seniors aren’t required to participate in our tech future because they’ll be retired and relaxed soon. But this is the farthest thing from the truth. Baby boomers are currently experiencing a different boom: With more people getting older than ever before, their life expediencies are also increasing dramatically. With medical advancements, the number of American people projected to live into the ir 90’s has doubled since 1965.However, they don’t have strong financial or educational support. This is not a problem; it’s a crisis. More than half of employees over 50 have been laid off in what’s being called ”forced retirement“. And few organizations are actively helping older employees make the transition from full-time jobs to part-time ones. For those fortunate enough to be employed, 3 out of 5 older workers experience prejudice.The easiest solution is to teach digital literacy. If baby boomers want to survive the forthcoming retirement crisis, they should get enough digital knowledge and skills to operate today’s tools and tomorrow’s platforms. With every crisis comes an opportunity. Tutoring, customer service, editing, research, book-keeping, and other virtual assistance-based work open the doors. But again, digital knowledge is first required to live in our high-tech society and gig economy. So try to get more online and navigate the growing number of sites and apps.；4. What does the underline d word “appalling” probably mean in paragraph2? A．Confusing. B．Terrible. C．Controllable. D．Inspiring.；5. What problem may baby boomers face?A．A crisis after retirement. B．Being knocked out in the future. C．Failing to receive good healthcare. D．Tending to double their life expediencies.；6. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．The features of high-tech jobs. B．The way out for baby boomers. C．Potential industries in the future. D．The importance of developing technology.；7. What does the author advise baby boomers to do?A．Have a good sense of crisis. B．Avoid retiring at an early age. C．Look for many part-time jobs. D．Improve digital literacy actively.CGrowing up as kids we are told to share our toys and not to be selfish. We also live in an age when discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become toomuch? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a carpet as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media?“Oversharing” has become associated with social media, but it isn't exclusive to this platform. Imagine you head to a party and meet x k w someone. Within five minutes they have revealed private details about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage advisor Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does this translate to social media?Dr. Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology (网络心理学），says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy we express when things go wrong. It seems that searching for sympathy by oversharing is generally considered as negative rather than the cry for help it could really be.However, Dr. Hand's research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become-provided that the posts that we bang out are positive. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We should also avo id showing off, especially about our love lives. It makes sense-if your date is going “that well", would you really have time to share a photo with text?So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life. They would probably be happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much.；8. What does the underlined word “exclusive" in paragraph 2 mean?A．Unique.B．Similar.C．Relevant.D．Fundamental.；9. Why do some people prefer oversharing at parties?A．To draw others' attention.B．To satisfy others' curiosity.C．To remove negative feelings.D．To develop good relationships.；10. Which of the following may Dr. Hand agree with?A．Sharing more details online can attract more sympathy.B．Oversharing negative experiences is equal to crying for help.C．Sharing negative posts can't help one become socially attractive.D．Oversharing isn't likely to happen online when things go wrong.；11. According to the text, what should be avoided for online sharing?A．Reflecting on past bad manners.B．Showing a great many expensive goods.C．Writing a recipe for a balanced breakfast.D．Recording unforgettable moments with friends.二、七选五阅读For most Americans, the weeks between Thanks giving and New Year’s Day are a time when we’re eating more than we should. 12 The problem wasn’t really thesmall weight increase but that study participants never lost what they put on during the holiday season.So, how do you avoid gaining weight without missing out on the holiday fun? There are several small changes we can make.We have to make time to exercise. With all the shopping that needs to be done and the holiday get-togethers, the first thing cut out of our schedules is often exercise. 13 Exercise not only burns off those holiday treats, it reduces our stress as well.14 Allow yourself to enjoy the foods you really love, but choose wisely and watch your portion (份额) size. If you’ve looked forward to Aunt Sally’s Christmas cookies all year, have one. Mindful eating is the key. Take a small portion of your favorite dessert or high-calorie dish and then enjoy it.Try never to go to a holiday celebration hungry. When you are really hungry, you tend to eat more than you normally would. 15 Then you’ll find it easier to control how much you eat.Weigh yourself at least once a week on the same day, at the same time and on the same scale (称). It’s important to keep in mind that our weight can change because of salt intake or other factors. 16A．Mind your table manners while eating.B．You don’t need to give up all of the holiday goodies.C．However, knowing your weight helps to keep you on track.D．Have a high-fiber, low-calorie snack before attending a party.E．A study found participants gained just over a pound during this time.F．Instead, this is the time we should put working out at the top of our to-do list. G．Researchers suggest people eat smaller meals more times during the course of the day.三、完型填空Sammie Vance approached her principal at Haley Elementary with the idea of installing “buddy benches” into her school playground to help others feel less lonely.

D．A story book.（二）During the COP27 climate conference (会议) in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, an important deal on “loss and damage” was reached. This was a big step forward because at COP26 conference in Glasgow, Scotland, there were no talks on loss and damage at all. The plan is that richer countries will pay money into a special fund that will be used to help poor countries.Loss and damage means the damaging impact of climate change on developing countries. For nearly 30 years, poorer countries have been asking richer countries formoney to help to protect communities from the effects of climate change. Richer countries have produced the most greenhouse gases, but poorer countries are often the worst affected by extreme weather conditions because they are less well equipped to face extreme climate events.Brazil’s newly elected President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva made a speech about preserving the largest rainforest on Earth, the Amazon. During the last 50 years, more than 17% of the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed to make way for farms and towns. However, in his speech, Lula promised that there would be zero deforestation (伐树) in the Amazon by 2030. The conference didn’t just focus on world leaders. It brought together more than 45,000 people to discuss how climate change is affecting their lives. Climate refugees (难民) also had their voices heard. Tshilombo from the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya said, “Refugees don’t only flee becaus e of war or conflict. It’s also about drought, the effects of climate change.”Some countries weren’t happy with the overall outcome of COP27 because decisions weren’t made on cutting the use of fossil fuels, such as coal, gas and oil, etc. The UK Governme nt’s Alok Sharma said, “I’m incredibly disappointed.”However, this deal was a great achievement for developing countries. Sherry Rehman, the climate minister for Pakistan, said, “I am confident we have tuned a comer in how we work together to achieve clim ate goals.”；4. What is a successful outcome of the COP27 climate conference?A．The deal on loss and damage.B．The deal on using fossil fuels.C．The deal on rainforest preservation.D．The deal on helping climate refugees.；5. What has made it difficult for developing countries to fight against climate change? A．More greenhouse gases.B．Massive deforestation.C．Shortage of money and supplies.D．Terrible weather conditions.；6. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A．Climate change is influencing people’s live s.B．17% of the Amazon rainforest was destroyed.C．Many factors lead to the appearance of refugees.D．There will be less deforestation in the Amazon by 2030.；7. What would Sherry Rehman probably agree with?A．Never put off till tomorrow.B．Many hands make light work.C．Knowledge starts with practice.D．No way is impossible to courage.（三）What are you doing this weekend? Perhaps you're spending time with family, hanging out with friends, or maybe you're going to play a sport. All around the world, people chill out at the end of the working week and take part in leisure activities. In many countries, the weekend consists of Saturday and Sunday, while in others Friday and Saturday are the days of rest. In Afghanistan, Thursday and Friday form the weekend, while in one country, Brunei, Friday and Sunday are the days off.Have you ever stopped to wonder, though, exactly where it originated? And how is the concept going to change? The modern weekend took shape during the Industrial Revolution. In the early 19 century, in areas such as the north of England, people began to leave the countryside to work in towns and cities. There, new factories were springing up. Their working lives were once ruled by nature, with the amount of work depending on the changing seasons. Now, their employers demanded a different rhythm-a six-day week of up to 12 hours a day, followed by one day of rest.Campaigns for workers' rights appeared. By the end of the century they had managed to reduce the working week to five and a half days. This meant that working people could take an interest in hobbies such as photography, which was very new at the time. In the US in the 1920s, the industrialist Henry Ford helped to create the weekend. He gave all his workers Saturday and Sunday off work. His factories manufactured cars, and he wanted to allow his employees time to purchase and enjoy the cars they were producing.These days, in many countries, working a 40-hour week is normal. Many people have a nine-to-five job, but even that is rapidly changing. Technology enables more people to work from home and plan their own use of time. This means that an official period away from work is becoming less important. Perhaps in the future we will work fewer hours altogether. If we become more productive, we should be able to afford the same lifestyle by working fewer hours. It has been estimated, for example, that a worker in the US can achieve a 1950s standard of living by working just 1l hours a week. Some people have recommended a 21-hour working week to help with unemployment, climate change and inequality. However, a change like that may mean more leisure time but it will probably limit people's ability to earn money to enjoy it.8. What does the underlined word “originated” in the second paragraph me an? A．Relaxed. B．Started. C．Appeared suddenly. D．Stopped. 9. What happened as a result of campaigns on behalf of workers?A．People became more inventive.B．People worked fewer hours per day.C．People worked fewer hours overall.D．People found employment in leisure industries.10. The writer says an American businessman gave his workers time off so that A．he could produce more cars.B．they could spend money on cars.C．he didn’t have to pay them to drive.D．they would enjoy working with him.11. Why does the writer suggest the weekend may be less important now? A．Because we start work later than we used toB．Because nobody works over 40 hours a week.C．Because technology empowers individuals to arrange their own time. D．Because people are out control of their working week.二、七选五阅读Mondays are kind of annoying. 12 A recent survey says that most people get the pre-work “Sunday blues”. Starting your Monday feeling sad, anxious and unorganized is hardly the way to kick off a healthy week.The solution? Set aside a little time on Sunday to purposefully prepare yourself for the five days ahead, suggests women’s health expert Marsha Hudnall. 13Do some meal preparations.Figuring out what to have for dinner on weeknights can be surprisingly stressf ul. Stretching out a menu plan on Sunday and swinging by the grocery store for ingredients will help you eat well. Go a step further by chopping and cooking vegetables and a protein (like a roast chicken or scrambled eggs). 14 Or finally attempt a di fferent diet you’ve been meaning to try. For easy dinner planning, just order, and you’ll have a week’s worth of raw materials for delicious and healthy meals.Start a Sunday stress-relief habit.“To be healthy, we have to take care of body and mind,” says Hudnall.

现吨市安达阳光实验学校凤艺荣高复高三英语阅读理解限时训练（11）AMy grandfather worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some crates（木箱）for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage（孤儿院）in Brazil. On his way home, he found his glasses were gone. When he mentally replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket and fallen into one of the crates. His new glasses were heading for Brazil!The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.“It’s not fair,” he thought as he walked home angrily. “I’ve been very faithful in giving my time and money to my work, and now this.”Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to my grandfather’s small church in Chicago.He began by thanking the people for their kindness in supporting the orphanage. “But most of all, ” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. You see, some people had just come to the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate. Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my coworkers and I were very worried about this. Then your crates arrived. When I removed the covers, I found a pair of glasses lying on top.”He paused long enough to let his words sink in. Then, he continued, “When I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”The people listened, happy for the miraculous glasses. But they thought it was strange because there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.Sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, my grandfather, an ordinary carpenter realized his glasses had found a good place to go.41. We know from the text that .A. the author’s grandfather got his glasses back from the director of the orphanageB. the author’s grandfather found that his glasses were at home at lastC. the author’s grandfather’s burden of supporting his family was very heavyD. the author’s grandfather worked as a carpenter in a school in Chicago42. From the text we can infer that the author’s grandfather was veryafterhearing what the director of the orphanage had said.A. surprisedB. disappointedC. pitifulD. proud43. The underlined word “miraculous” （Paragraph 7） can be replaced by .A. practicalB. wonderfulC. necessaryD. importantBJeanne Calment, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October, 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.Jeanne Calme nt lives in a small old people’s home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old woman in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercise every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke (now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday, Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying: Sorry, I’m still alive!45. How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age?A. She is miserable and unhappy.B. She is cheerful and humorous.C. She would like to live much younger.D. She feels she is goingto die very soon.46. We can owe her good health and long life to _______.A. smoking only a little every dayB. her giving up smoking and drinkingC. drinking two glasses of strong red wine every dayD. the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercise47. Which of the following word could best replace the word “move” inthe fourth paragraph?A. dealB. trickC. marchD. sport48. Why does Jeanne Calment say “Sorry, I’m still alive” to the lawyerevery year on her birthday?A. Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage.B. Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.C. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.D. Because the house she sold to the lawyer is worth the money he has already paid.CAs computer games get to look more lifelike, it seems that their violence is spilling over into real life. It is reported that some dozens of children have been murdered since 1997, which has been linked to all obsession (着迷) with violent video games. Recently the parents of a 14--year-old murder victim in the UK blamed the killer's obsession with the game Manhunt, causing a government review of legislation (立法) to protect children.Psychologists think there may be many reasons why violent games are more harmful to children than violent movies. Firstly, players are actively involved in violence, and may begin to see using weapons as second nature. Secondly, violent games provide repetitive aggressive (侵犯的) experiences that are rewarded by more killing.Many studies have shown that people who play violent games regularly are more likely to show high levels of aggression. For instance, in 2000, scientists in Iowa State University found that people who played violent games were more likely to admit involvement in aggressive behaviors, including assaults (侵犯人体罪) or robberies.A study of 13 to 14-year-old children showed that more than half had played games recommended only for over18s. The more violent the games they played, the more they considered physical aggression to beacceptable. Besides, children who play violent games are more prone (有做……倾向的) to arguing with teachers and fighting.Experimental studies have also hinted at a possible link. In one, scientists asked a group of students to play a violent game, while another group played the nonviolent. Those who played the violent games were faster to react to aggressive words subsequently (随后) flashed on screen.49. We may infer from the first paragraph that .A. computer games have little to do with violence in real lifeB. Manhunt has resulted in the death of one of its playsC. lifelike computer games are forbidden in the UKD. legislation to protect children in the UK still needs improving50. Violent games are more harmful to children than violent movies because .A. violent movies are not so attractive to childrenB. the viewers can't take part in violent moviesC. violent movies are not popular with childrenD. children can win awards in violent games51. What will be probably discussed in the paragraph following the passage？A. Further research on the harm of violent games.B. Further differences between violent game and nonviolent games.C. Ways to protect children from violent games.D. The result of more experimental studies.52. What would be the best title for the passage？A. Games and MurderB. Should Computer Games become lifelike？C. Legislation, effective or not？D. Violent Games and Nonviolent GamesDSomeday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it’s likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a husband or wife, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a police or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you’ve never intended to be seen.Some experts tell us boundaries are hea lthy, and it’s important to reveal (暴露) yourself to your friends, family and lovers in stages, at proper times. But few boundaries could remain. The digital equipment makes it easy for strangers to know who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can even reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey shows that 60 percent of them feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.”But people often say one thing and do another. Only a tiny number of Americans change the behaviors in an effort to protect their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track your automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests, and these tests show that the majority of Americans will not keep personal secret just in order to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券)But privacy does matter—at least sometimes. It’s like health: when you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone, do you wish you’d done more to protect it. So, when it comes to privacy, why do so many people say one thing and do another? And what can be done about it? 53. What would be the experts advise on the relationships between friends?A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should be a distance even between friends.D. There should be fewer secrets between friends.54. The author says “we live in a world where you simply cannot keepa secret” because ______.A. modern society has finally entered a much opened societyB. people leave privacy around when using modern technologyC. there are always people who are curious about others’ affairsD. many search engines profit by selling people’s privacy55. According to Alessandro Acquits, most Americans _________.A. like to exchange their personal secret for the commercial benefitB. aren’t interested in the pitiful commercial benefit to keep their personal secretC. pay no attention to their personal secret for the commercial benefitD. can’t keep the balance between their personal secret and the commercial benefit56. The best title for the passage could be _________?A. Is Privacy As Important As HealthB. What Can Be Done to Protect the PrivacyC. Does Privacy MatterD. Does Modern Technology Reveal PrivacyESome scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.Decibels（分贝）measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales.A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected.Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.57. According to the passage, which of the following is increasinglydangerous to sea creatures?A. The man-made noises.B. The noises made by themselves.C. The sound of earthquakes.D. The sound of theice-breaking.58. Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph?A. Different places with different types of noises.B. The very human ears sensitive to all types of noises.C. The ocean animals' reaction to noises.D. The same noise measured differently on land and in the ocean.59. We can know from the passage that many researchers think that thenoise limit of one hundred twenty decibels would _____.A. prevent them from doing their research workB. benefit them a lot in their research workC. do good to their healthD. increase the industrial output60. According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?A. They will try their best to decrease noise.B. They will work hard to cut down noise pollution.C. They will study the effect of different noises.D. They will protect animals from harmful noises.。

高三英语晚自习限时训练

高三英语晚自习（限时训练）一、阅读理解AThe following 4 famous paintings, from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece, have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism — while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gog h’s most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It describes the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.GuernicaGuernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish paint er, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting shows the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war.1. What is special about The Starry Night?A．It was set in a conventional hospital.B．It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941.C．It was donated to a museum by a collector.D．It is a romantic work in the early 20th century.2. What can we infer from the name “Guernica”?A．It was a war symbol.B．It was named after a painter.C．It reflects different people’s lives.D．It reminds us of a kind of war atmosphere.3. What’s the purpose of writing this passage?A．To describe four scenes. B．To expand painting knowledge.C．To praise four well-known artists. D．To introduce four famous paintings.BIt scarcely seems surprising that learning to underline a modal verb, such as “can”, and “may”, does little to help students use them effectively in their own writing. The se words are anyway grasped by tiny children without the need to know what they are called. This may tempt the conclusion that the teaching of grammar should be shelved altogether. But there are reasons to reform it rather than throw it away.Understanding of language is part of a wider education in what makes human beings human. How concepts are turned into sounds, and how those sounds combine to form commands or questions, are issues that have occupied many language experts. What they reveal about the mind has exercised psychologists and cognitive scientists.There are practical reasons to ask children to work hard at grammar, too. One is that a knowledge of it will make learning a foreign language easier. Even if you did know by nature how to make clauses in your native languages as a child — just without instruction — getting to grips with them in German or Russian in later years is simpler if you know how to define and spot them. As it is, many English-speakers come to understand grammar by studying a foreign language, rather than the other way round.For grammarians keen on future jobs, the natural-language processing field is booming. After many years of poor results, technological wizards have developed programs for automated translation, speech recognition and other services that are actually usable, if far from perfect. These tools may rely more on knowledge of artificial intelligence than of the subjunctive, but linguistic expertise still matters, and may give beginners an edge over competitors whose best language is Python (一种编程语言).Grammar could still be taught better. One small study showed improvement in some students when concepts are linked concretely to writing tasks. A cook does not need to know chemistry to make a delicious soup. But the science of how words combine to make meaning is fascinating and fundamental.；4. Why do some people consider stopping teaching grammar?A．It’s unnecessary for kids to grasp modal verbs.B．Teachers’ teaching methods are far from satisfactory.C．Drawing lines under words fails to be effective in learning.D．Grammar Learning doesn’t bring obvious effect to writing.；5. When it comes to future jobs, grammarians believe .A．a good command of Python is enough for programmersB．the field of artificial technology still shows great promiseC．being expert in language means advantages in competitionD．computer geniuses will invent perfect tools to process language；6. What is the author’s attitude towards grammar teaching?A．Positive. B．Negative. C．Objective. D．Skeptical.；7. What’s the main idea of this passage?A．Grammar teaching shouldn’t be stopped but reformed.B．Scientific study of human beings benefits from grammar.C．Grammar helps children to learn foreign languages better.D．There’s much room for im provement in grammar research.CRecycling plastic has always been a stop-start effort, and the wide variety of plastics we produce, the pollution from waste, and other limitations make recycling aneconomic(经济) problem. It’s estimated(估计)only 9% of plastic ever created has been recycled. But with the help of a chemical process, Canadian Miranda Wang and her company BioCellection want to change that.Stability is one of plastic greatest qualities and downside. There's limited evidence that some plastics can biodegrade (生物降解)but largely photo-plastics degrade in the sun. It’s a long process, and the truth is that we can only estimate how long it takes. Wang is looking to break the inaction and BioCellection's task is to make most plastic waste recyclable.She outlines two current methods. One is to take plastics like water bottles, wash them, cut them, melt and reconstitute them. “That's a very limited process” she says, due to the requirement that plastics be “clean” . The other, which can handle dirtier p lastics and a level of pollution, is called hydrolysis(热解). Intense heat is applied to break down plastics so they can be reused as oils for energy, but “it’s not economical,’’ she says.BioCellection’s solution builds on research from over ten years ago, Wang explains, when a US study discovered pure polyethylene powder (聚乙烯粉)could be broken down by a catalyst (催化剂). Wang and her co-founder Jean hit upon a bacterium being able to eat plastic. In the years since, they engineered a comparable catalyst capabl e of doing the same job, only faster, which even works on plastics no one else can recycle at present. “We have now found a catalyst that is much cheaper than the one that was used before, Wang says.Currently focusing on plastic films like shopping hags, the three-hour process breaks clown plastic into chemicals that can act as the building blocks for more complex plastic products.“Right now we’re able to achieve about 70% transformation from plastic waste material to these chemicals,” she adds, saying they’re working to increase that figure.8. Why has so little plastic been recycled?A．Plastic is chemically stable. B．Recycling plastic led to pollution. C．We produced various plastics. D．Most photo-plastics degrade in the sun.9. What does Wang think of the two current methods?A．Highly effective and dynamic. B．Expensive and pollution-causing. C．Limited and energy-consuming. D．Widely used and recognized.10. What did BioCellection find effective to recycle plastics?A．Polyethylene powder. B．Chemical products.C．Plastic films. D．A catalyst.11. What is the text mainly about?A．Miranda Wang and her company. B．A new plastic recycling method. C．The greatest downside of plastic. D．Transformation of plastic waste.二、七选五阅读How strong are you?That is a difficult question to answer, whether you are a man or a woman. But, really, I want to ask ... how do you define (定义) your strength? How do you know your limits? When pushed, we often discover that we are much stronger than we think.12Strength is not always just about physical strength. Rather, it's about willpower, discipline and drive. 13 I know some people who are intelligent, but they get verylittle done in their jobs. And I know others who find work very difficult, but are able to move mountains by their hard work. They have inner strength.Limiting yourselfWhat I have observed is that most people limit themselves. They limit their output according to how limited they imagine their abilities and strengths to be. Sometimes these limits are based on past experiences. Sometimes they are based on what they think their abilities are. 14Pushing it ...Many people are working out, but nowhere near as much as they could.15 Pushing yourself is what it takes to increase your limits. In the gym, bodybuilders discovered this long ago.But, this is also true when it comes to inner strength.Want to test your limits? Push yourself. Test your limits to see if they are simply what you imagine them to be. Make sure your goals are slightly beyond what you think can be achieved.You are stronger than you thinkMost people underestimate (低估) their strength. As you go through your day, test your limits. Push yourself to find your true limits and define your strength. 16 A．Physical abilityB．What is strength?C．The same applies to daily life.D．It's about the ability to get things done.E．Sometimes these limits are based on nothing.F．If you want to be stronger, you have to push yourself.G．When discovering how much you've really got, you may surprise even yourself.三、完型填空Years ago, a neighbour kid kicked a football and broke a small 17 of our house. We were a family living on a small 18 at the time, so I boarded it up, thinking I’d get to it someday.Over the years, I’d sometimes ask some advice from window companies. The plan was to upgrade to energy-efficient windows for the whole house, an 19 process—$ 15, 000. It was simply out of 20 and I turned it down again.21 , the thought of that window ate at me for years. Every time I went down there, it kept 22 me. I knew I needed to deal with it, but I had built up the 23 so much in my mind that I put it off again and again.Then my wife had a job 24 , and we needed to move. A 25 buyer couldn’t get a loan on the house if there was a 26 window. So I pulled off the boards to face this thing. It had already been for at least 5 years.I used some rust (锈) remover, sprayed all around the rusted frame, and gave it a27 pull. To my 28 , it easily moved. I pulled the window out and took it downtown. It was a 12 fix.I could have fixed the problem for 12 the 29 day when it happened. But I let it worry me for years. 30 , this isn’t just about my window. Many of us tend to livewith broken windows of one type or another for years. We suffer more in 31 than in reality. Step forward, and you’ll find a solution.17. A．roof B．window C．door D．curtain18.

2023届高三英语晚自习限时训练

2023届高三英语晚自习限时训练【3月30日晚，限时：不超过65-70分钟】一、阅读理解（一）Located in the tropical forests in Xishuangbanna, southwest China’s Yunnan province, the Asian Elephant Breeding and Rescue Center (AEBRC) is dedicated to giving careful and effective protection to wild elephants.Though the jungles provide rich sources of food and water for the elephants, they can also pose a threat to them if they become ill or injured, making it difficult for them to survive in the wild.In August 2015, a baby elephant that was less than one month old was abandoned by her herd at the d oorway of a farmer’s house in Simiao, Pu’er city. Vets from the AEBRC came and took the animal to their center for treatment. She was found to have intra-abdominal infections and heart failure. She was also at risk of blood poisoning.The baby elephant finally recovered after proper treatment by the keepers at the center. However, without the presence of her mother, she became malnourished (营养不良) due to a lack of breast milk. At that time, she weighed only 76 kilograms, much smaller than an average newborn elephant. The vets decided to feed her goat milk, and as she was born in the Chinese Year of the Goat, the elephant was named Yang Niu (“Yang” is Chinese for goat, and Niu means girl). The elephant is now about 6 years old, 1.8 meters tall and weighs 1.3 tonnes.Currently, there are 11 rescued Asian elephants living at the center and being cared for by 27 keepers, who spend more than 10 hours with them each day. Thanks to these efforts, the population of Asian wild elephants in the province has reached 300 from 150 over the past 30 years.The local government has designated (指派) a place as a source of food for the elephants so that they do less damage to villagers’ crops while looking for food. They’ve also monitored the elephants using technologies such as drones to keep track of their activities and prevent encounters between villagers and the elephants. The local government has also purchased commercial insurance for residents to compensate them if the elephants attack them.；1. What can be a threat to elephants’ survival according to the text?A．Lack of food sources. B．Illegal hunting.C．Physical problems. D．Destruction of forests.；2. What does the example of a baby elephant stress?A．The recovery of Yang Niu.B．The efforts made by keepers.C．The risks facing baby elephants.D．The importance of mother elephants.；3. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 5?A．The number of elephants endangered.B．The urgency of rescuing wild elephants.C．A steady growth of elephant population.D．A rising trend of animal overprotection.；4. Why has the government designated a place for elephants?A．To keep track of their activities.B．To prevent them from damaging crops.C．To save them the trouble of looking for food.D．To ensure the growth of the elephant population.（二）No one can resist the temptation (诱惑) of snacks. But at the same time, you may be underestimating how many calories a snack contains. What would happen if you had a bag of crisps (炸薯片) a day? Eating an extra packet of crisps a day could lead to a weight gain of 6. 35 kg after a year, The Times reported.People underestimate the number of calories in their snacks, with experts warning that eating a bag of crisps every day could lead to a stone of weight gain in a year. A survey of around 2 ,000 adults found that about three quarters underestimated the impact of what a small reduction could have. One in ten believed that cutting 200 calories a day would not affect weight. At the same time, many people didn’t seem to know exactly how many calories were in their snacks. When it came to snacks, people struggled, with 95 percent guessing that half a sharing bag of tortilla chips had 214 calories on average, almost half the true figure of 447.Can’t we resist buying snacks? The food environment is to blame. Even though we all know snacking is bad for our health, we can’t help but fill our shopping carts with snacks.Don’t always blame yourself for poor self- control, and supermarket shelves also have to carry this “pot” half.Hugo Harper, head of Nesta’s health team, said the pressure to resist high-calorie snacks should not be put on consumers and that our food environment needed. to be changed, He said,“Our environment has a real impact on what we eat, from advertisements and supermarket promotions to what ‘s available in our local corner shops.Hugo added,“If we had fewer cues to snacks, or were pushed to buy fewer high calorie snacks, we should be able to see real change.”New rules coming into force next month will restrict promotions on foods high in fat, sugar and salt in big shops.；5. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1?A．List some reasons. B．Introduce the topic.C．Put up an argument. D．Raise a question.；6. What can we know from the survey?A．One in ten people cut 200 calories a day.B．Many people knew how many snacks they ate.C．No one knew the calories the snacks contained.D．Most people lacked the awareness of snacks’ impact.；7. What may cause people to buy more snacks according to the text?A．The food environment. B．Living conditions. C．Consumption ability. D．Supermarket management.；8. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?A．A packet of crisps contains many caloriesB．People can resist the temptation of snacksC．The harm of snacks is beyond your imaginationD．2,000 adults got involved in a consumption survey二、七选五阅读Have you had a talk with someone, and think you are paying attention to him or her, only to realize shortly afterwards that you can’t remember what he said? Oh, perhaps you fail to focus while he is speaking and miss the message that he is trying to deliver. 9 : TVs, radios, traffic noises, telephones, laptops and so on which can make it difficult to listen with our full attention.But how can we listen more effectively? 10 . Professor Jon Kabat-Zinn said, “It’s time for mindful listening to come in. Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way, with a purpose, at the present moment and non-judgmentally.”11 ? Jon Kabat-Zinn describes three key elements of mindful listening that we can use to improve our listening skills.First of all, be present. When we listen mindfully, our focus should be on the person we are listening to without distractions. 12 . By doing so, we can understand a situation from someone else’s point of view. After all, we often see the world through our own experiences. Finally, listen to our own cues. Our cues are the thoughts, feelings and physical reactions that we have when we feel anxious or angry, and they can hold back ideas and perspe ctives that we’re uncomfortable with. Mindful listening can help us to be more aware of our cues. 13 .In conclusion, the rule is straightforward: simply “Listen”! Listen carefully and attentively. Pay full attention to the other person, and don’t l et other thoughts, like what we are going to say next, distract us.A．Then think in others’ shoesB．Researchers seem to have got itC．How can we deal with mindful listeningD．Modem life is actually full of distractionsE．But how can we apply mindful listening to our lifeF．Next, reflect on the experience you’ve gone throughG．Besides, it allows us to choose not to let them ruin communication三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

高三英语高效限时训练

高三英语高效限时训练姓名:___________班级:___________一、阅读理解ABeavers(海狸), like humans, change their surroundings to fit their needs. Known as nature’s engineers, they tear trees down to build homes to live in and dams to raise water levels for protection from enemies. Dams also slow water’s flow while blocking sediment(沉积物)that would otherwise flow downstream. The resulting wetlands often attract wildlife diversity where none had existed. There are challenges, though. Beaver dams sometimes cause flooding, and most people prefer trees alive and upright.Communities face a delicate balancing act, learning to coexist with beavers. Last winter, many people enjoying Winston Path became beaver fans as one furry family transformed Swallow Pond into an oasis for birds, frogs, turtles and deer.Yet such activity caused concern. As beavers worked, they raised water levels about five feet. The increased depth allows beavers to survive underwater if the pond ices over. But county officials were concerned about how higher water would affect the soil bank supporting Winston Path.To find a good balance between protecting the path and the beavers, the county introduced a“ beaver baffle”— a pond leveler.Beavers often rush to fill holes in their dams.Baffles stabilize water levels by creating a hidden exit for high water to escape through the dam, unnoticed by the beavers.People love the beavers but they also love the mature trees. Recently, Catherine Jones,18, organized a tree-caging event — putting wire cloth around large tree trunks to discourage beavers from biting them. It also protects people from injury due to random trees falling.“We cover the trees we don’t want them to eat, while planting periodically oth ers they like,“said Jones.“We need-to learn to give up a little of our wants to share the Earth’s resources.”Swallow Pond’s 2023 project will restore proper water depth and improve wildlife habitat without creating problems for the path. The balancing act continues.；1. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．Where beavers’ favorite surroundings are.B．What effects beavers have on their habitat.C．Why beavers are called nature’s engineers.D．How beavers help attract wildlife diversity.；2. Why did the beaver family’s activity cause concern?A．Swallow Pond would flood often.B．Sediment would flow downstream.C．The popular path might be damaged.D．Beavers might have to live underwater.；3. What do the underlined words“beaver baffle”refer to in paragraph 4?A．A block to keep beavers away. B．A tool to fix holes in the dams.C．A device to maintain water level. D．A material to protect the soil bank.；4. What is the theme of Swallow Pond’s 2023 project?A．Biological diversity. B．Harmonious coexistence. C．Prevention of natural disasters. D．Preservation of wildlife habitat.BThe safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage is considered an important part of sustainable development. Among the 629 UNESCO-listed traditions are five entries in Estonia, the most recent of which is the building and use of dugout canoes in the Soomaa region.Every year, before spring, Soomaa National Park transforms into an almost drowned world, when water from melting snow in the eastern uplands floods the low-lying forests, wetlands, roads and yards of the residents who still live here. The water level rose so high that villagers could roll a dugout canoe right through their windows and into their living rooms. Everyone has had to learn to adapt to the natural annual phenomenon.Building a dugout canoe requires a good trunk of an aspen, which grows throughout the forests of Estonia. Once cut down, the trees are peeled and shaped like a cigar using an axe. From here, the inside of the boat is carved out to give it shape. Builders cut the frame down to a few centimetres in thickness. A long log fire is then built alongside the canoe, which is filled with several bucketfuls of water and left to warm up. Once the water has evaporated, sticks are squeezed into the frame lengthways to open it up. Aspen is a soft wood and a trunk half a metre across can be expanded into a metre-wide boat. The boat is then left to cool in the shade and is traditionally finished the following spring, once the wood has fully dried, when it’s given its final design and covered with tar.Aivar Ruukel, one of only five Estonians who still preserve the skill, chooses to build them as a way to connect with the history, As a young man, Ruukel attended workshops led by two master boat builders, both in their 70s at the tim e. He hopes that by the time he’s 70 there will be more young people doing the same. Enthusiasts hope that its joining the heritage list will safeguard the ancient practice and attract the next generation of boatmasters to keep the tradition alive.；5. Why do villagers have to preserve dugout canoes?A．To survive floods. B．To go canoeing in the park.C．To learn about a natural phenomenon. D．To apply for intangible cultural heritage.；6. What’s the right order of building a dugout canoe?① The boat is left in the shade to dry.② The inside of the boat is carved out to give it shape.③ Builders warm up the canoe and open the frame up.④ The boat is given the design and covered with the tar.⑤ Builders remove the barks and make the trees into cigar shapes.A．⑤③②④①B．②⑤④①③C．⑤②③①④D．②③⑤④①；7. Which statement will Ruukel probably agree with?A．Young people shall become boatmasters.B．The practice will die out in the next generation.C．More people are needed to pass on the tradition.D．One cannot master the skill without learning history.；8. What is the best title for the text?A．Dugout canoes come to life B．Boat building industry in Estonia C．Cultural heritage protection in Estonia D．Dugout canoes in Estonia boat to future二、七选五阅读Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First set your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. 9 Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.10 Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class. 11 Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, and review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 12 If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. 13 A．Behave yourself at home.B．Find a good place to study.C．This will help you understand the next class.D．Then decide a good, regular time for studying.E．Make full use of class time to ask your teacher questions.F．Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.G．The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.三、完形填空Every week, Andy goes for a walk and about two miles away, his friend Gabe does the same thing at the same time.

Passage 1 阅读理解21-year-old Jasmine Harrison completed the 2020 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge in 70 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes — a new world record for the youngest female to row alone across the Atlantic.Harrison, who’s from North Yorkshire, England, didn’t have loads of experience in rowing long distances. In her childhood, she could not even dream of such an ambition. She’d only gotten the idea three years earlier when she happened to be in Antigua, teaching swimming, and saw the end of the 2017 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. “Talking to a family member of a young man that had just completed it, I got to know just how amazing a thing it was.I didn’t say ‘not a chance I would do that,’ but it was more a fact of why not do it?” she said.Every day, Harrison would row for about 12 hours, pushing her 550-pound boat she bought with some money across the ocean, covering roughly 90 kilometers. The journey left her with much time all by herself, which she said she enjoyed. But things got a little harder after her speaker fell in the water and she could no longer listen to her music.She had other company along the way. She saw lots of sea life, including several whales. One even rose out of the ocean right next to her boat. “I’m in their environment,” she said. “It’s just amazing.”Twice, her boat was turned over in the night by large waves. The second time, she hurt her arm quite badly. Another time, she nearly ran into a ship. When her food ran out, she lived on cookies and chocolate. In the face ofgreat hardship and loneliness, she kept going.On February 20, 2021, she reached the island of Antigua — the end of the journey. She celebrated her arrival with a burger and fries.1.

D．In a English TV channel.BHurricane Fiona, killing 16 people and bringing the power system to a 3-day stop, struck Puerto Rico, an island country located between Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, on September 18, almost five years after Hurricane Maria hit the island, showing that, as researchers have long warned, storms are now more frequent and cause more damage due to climate change.Back in 2017, Hurricane Maria killed thousands of people and left millions without power for a week. A study in 2019 found that the possibility of terrible events like Hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico is now almost five times higher due to climate change.The storms were similar in many ways but had their own features. Maria was a Category (类别) 4 hurricane whose speed was up to 155 mph, while Fiona, a Category 1 storm when it landed Puerto Rico, was gentler, with winds of up to 85 mph, which later increased to 115 mph as the storm progressed through the island.And yet, the heavy rain caused by Fiona brought Puerto Rico to its knees. According to the data by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the slow moving storms brought 15.80 inches of rain over a 5-day period, slightly more than Maria at 14.72 inchesThis confirms another long-held thought that, with climate change, horrible storms will not only become more common but also wetter.That’s because the increase in temperatures is leading to more loss of water from the sea and warmer air can hold more water vapor (水蒸气). The average temperature all over the world has already increased by nearly 1.2℃ due to climate change and for each 1℃ of warming, the air’s ability to hold water is thought to increase by about 7%. The latest research suggests that the increase may be three times higher, at 21%.；4. What was a direct cause of more storms in Puerto RicoA．Loss of forests. B．Puerto Rico’s location.C．Human activity. D．Climate change.；5. Compared with Maria, what’s the feature of Fiona progressing through Puerto RicoA．It brought less rain. B．It moved a bit slower.C．It caused a longer power cut. D．It brought more deaths.；6. What do the figures in the last paragraph showA．Rainfall increases with temperature rising.B．Puerto Rico is a place raining all the time.C．Storms are common in Puerto Rico.D．Slower storms cause more damage.；7. What’s the best title for the textA．Puerto Rico: Survival of PeopleB．Puerto Rico: Frequent FloodsC．Climate Change: Wetter Puerto RicoD．Climate Change: Disasters on Their Way to Puerto RicoCSheneman, a 33-year-old artist, was first diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病) around five years ago, and she says it was a wake-up call. Since then, health has become a huge part of her life.What she realized while battling this condition, though, is that a lot of people weren’t aware of what she went through on a daily basis. “Which is crazy to think about because there are so many diabetics out there,” she said. So, Sheneman came up with an art project that would offer a deep understanding of what diabetics go through.On April 1, she started her journey, a 470-mile walk, from her college town of Cincinnati, Ohio, and her plan is to make it to her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, by the end of the month.Throughout this journey, people will be able to watch her glucose(葡萄糖) levels through an app that’s connected to her glucose monitor, the Dexcom G6. The monitor provides real-time alerts when her glucose levels vary too high or low.This journey is more than just showing people how physically difficult this walk is. “I want them to understand what it looks like to be diabetic and constantly checking and making sure that you’re eating the right things,” she said, adding that “just something as simple as stress can raise your blood sugar.”Sheneman was told by health professionals to do something simple, like walking every day. However, Sheneman, who grew up backpacking, wanted to test the limits of what was possible. “I think it’s important to understand that being a diabetic is not necessarily limiting you,” she said. “There’s just the most difficult part that you have to get over.”8. Why did Sheneman start the art projectA．To raise people’s awareness of diabetes. B．To raise money for all the diabetics.C．To advertise for her hometown. D．To get sympathy for herself.9. What should Sheneman pay special attention to during the journey A．The reactions and concerns of others. B．The app connected to the Dexcom G6.C．The variation of her glucose levels. D．The physical difficulty the walk causes.10. Which of the following best describes the life of a diabetic like ShenemanA．Colorful. B．Cautious.C．Artistic. D．Adventurous.11. What message does Sheneman seem to convey in the last paragraph A．Sport helps gain confidence in fighting diseases.B．We don’t have to follow the doctor’s advice.C．Nothing can stop one achieving their goals.D．Our path in life will not always be smooth.二、七选五阅读We know that choosing a college major can be very tough. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. Here’s what you need to know about college majors before you choose.What is a major12 Beyond general college requirements, you’ll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry, Literature, or Political Science.How important is my majorThe major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Many graduates find jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied in college. If you intend to earn a professional degree after college, you will probably need certain courses. 13 .When do I choose a majorThis varies widely across schools and programs. 14 . Others require that you decide upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.15Definitely. One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and arouses new passions. However,keep this in mind: every major has necessary coursework. If you change your major late in the game, it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.What are minors and double majorsIf one field of study doesn’t satisfy your intellectual appetite, consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration. 16 A double major provides you with an understanding or two academic fields. It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements.A．Can I change my mindB．Is my major time-consumingC．It’s your specialized area of study in college.D．Most students find one major is more than enough.E．Some schools may give you one year or more to decide.F．The only difference is that it doesn’t require as many classes. G．Many future science doctors major in non-science related fields.三、完形填空The year 2020 was a hard year.

2023届高三英语晚自习限时小练含答案

高三英语晚自习限时训练【阅读理解+七选五+语法填空+应用文写作+读后续写】一、阅读理解AChester is one of the best cities in the UK. As soon as you arrive in Chester you will appreciate the city’s unique atmosphere and sense of history. Founded by the Romans over 2,000 years ago, much of the Roman influence remains and Chester’s city walls ar e the most complete in Britain. Combined with history and heritage(遗产), Chester is a dynamic city full of bars, pubs, clubs, hotels and restaurants for you to discover, tempting you to visit again and again.Travelling to Chester?Chester is easily accessible by many means of transport — whether you are travelling by rail, car, bus or plane. Please check our route planner below to help you plan your journey to Chester. Onceyou arrive in the city there are numerous car parks; however, during rush hours the easiest way to travel in Chester city centre is via park and ride facilities, which are parking lots with public transportation.Hotels?From bed & breakfasts to the luxury of Chester’s only five star hotel, Chester has all covered. Whether your trip is for business or pleasure your room is just a click away!Sightseeing and Tours?One of the best ways to see Chester is by a guided tour and you have a variety to choose from. Whether you choose the traditional guided walk, to be guid ed around Chester’s historical landmarksby bus or to take a boat down the River Dee, you will sure enjoy the delights of Chester.1. What can we know about Chester from the first paragraph?A．It is a newly built city.B．It is the best city in the UK.C．It is rich in the deep culture and modern touch.D．Many of its city walls were completed by British people.2. What is the most convenient way to get around Chester city centre during rush hours?A．By bus. B．By bicycle.C．By rail. D．By taxi.3. What had you better do to have a better understanding of Chester?A．Choose a bus tour. B．Join a guided tour.C．Take a traditional walk. D．Swim down the river.BWalk into any waiting area and you will see people of all ages on the phone. It is rare to see people sitting and simply thinking while waiting for the next part of the day or night. We have also observed people playing with their mobile phones while having dinner with others or in the presenceof their families. It seems that everyone is experiencing FOMO (fear of missing out) or a strong addiction to electronic devices.Why do adults, middle school students, and even young children turn to electronics while waiting?A recent study by Hatano et al. (2022) found that in different cultures people underestimate how enjoyable and attractive simply thinking might be. In a series of studies on university students in both Japan and the United Kingdom, the participants rated their level of expected enjoyment and engagement in simply thinking and then rated their actual level of enjoyment and participation in thinking after the waiting period. During the waiting period, the participants only had the option to think. They were not allowed to take electronics into the waiting area. The participants were not necessarily happy about thinking. Instead, they underestimated the benefits related to thinking and thought that thinking was aversive before the waiting period, which only allowed thinking without electronic products. After this waiting period, they admitted that thinking was more interesting and easier than expected.Thinking can include problem-solving, goal-setting, and a variety of other creative tasks. These outcomes can be extremely productive and satisfying. Perhaps it is time for parents and educators to teach chil dren about the importance of paying attention to one’s thoughts. We need to be better role models and put down our own phones when there is an opportunity to simply wait and think. We need to provide these opportunities for both ourselves and our children.；4. What’s the purpose of the author describing the scene about people’s using electronics?A．To introduce the importance of electronics.B．To tell what bad influences electronics have.C．To voice his views on thinking while waiting.D．To explain why we should have better ways of communication.；5. What does the underlined word “aversive” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Satisfactory. B．Boring. C．Worried. D．Meaningful.；6. What should parents and educators do according to the text?A．Provide opportunities for children.B．Pick up the phones while waiting.C．Underestimate the benefits of thinking.D．Tell children about the significance of thinking.；7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．Why should we put our phones down?B．How can electronic products affect us?C．How do we think freely by using phones?D．Why does thinking while waiting make people smart?CIn the past 30 years, the non-profit organization Friends of Trees planted trees along the streets of Portland, Oregon. Now, a new study shows that each tree planted was connected with significant reductions in non-accidental and cardiovascular (心血管的) mortality (死亡率).Evidence pointing to a connection between exposure to nature and lower mortality is obvious. Between 1990 and 2019, Friends of Trees planted 49,246 street trees. The research team looked at the number of trees planted in a given area in the past 5, 10 or 15 years. They connected this information with mortality due to cardiovascular, respiratory (呼吸的) or non-accidental causes in that same area, using data from the Oregon Health Authority. The results showed that in neighborhoods in which more trees had been planted, mortality rates were lower. This connection was significant for cardiovascular and non-accidental mortality, particularly for males and people over the age of 65.Furthermore, the connection got stronger as trees aged and grew: The reduction in mortality rate connected with trees planted 11 to 15 years before was double that observed with trees planted in the past 1 to 5 years. This means that older trees are connected with larger decreases in mortality, and that protecting existing grown trees may be particularly important for public health. This study doesn’t provide a direct opinion into how trees improv e health. However, the result that larger trees have a greater health effect than smaller ones is telling, because larger trees are better at absorbing air pollution, moderating temperatures, and reducing noise.“We observed the effect both in green and l ess green neighborhoods, which suggests that street tree planting benefits both,” said Geoffrey H. Donovan, first author of the study. “Be-sides, the benefits of tree planting greatly outweigh (大于) the cost. Our results provide an important evidence-base f or clear measures (e. g. planting trees) to increase the lifetime of urban people.”；8. How long did it take Friends of Trees to plant 49,246 street trees?A．5 years. B．10 years. C．15 years. D．30 years.；9. What do we know about the study from paragraph 3?A．Women gain no benefit from trees.B．Tree planting can cure respiratory diseases.C．Older trees contribute more to public health.D．Newly planted trees can better improve public health.；10. What does Donovan suggest doing?A．Protecting trees in forests. B．Planting more street trees.C．Joining Friends of Trees. D．Getting more benefits from nature.；11. How does the author mainly develop the topic of the text?A．By listing numbers. B．By stating results.C．By describing processes. D．By raising questions.二、七选五阅读Is it time to ditch sugar?It’s no secret that sugar can cause issues if you’re indulging (放任) in a little too much of the sweet stuff. Still, most Americans are eating too much sugar. The harmful effects it can have on your physical health are well studied. 12 .Sugar can affect your moodYou probably turn to a doughnut (甜甜圈) or soda for an extra boost during a long day. Yet sugar may not be such a positive pick-me-up after all. Recent research indicates that sugary treats have no positive effect on mood. 13 .One study published in 2017 found that consuming a diet high in sugar can increase the chances of mood disorders. A more recent 2019 study found that regular consumption of saturated fats (饱和脂肪) and added sugars were related to higher feelings of anxiety in adults over age 60.14It’s hard to avoid reaching for comfort foods, especially after a difficult day. But the cycle of consuming sugar to manage your emotions may only make your feelings of sadness, tiredness, or hopelessness worse. Multiple studies have found a link between diets high in sugar and depression.15 . These can lead to depression and may even increase the long-term risk of developing a mental health disorder in some people.Sugar destroys your brain powerEmerging research has found that diets high in sugar can damage cognitive functioning, even in the absence of extreme weight gain or too much energy intake. A 2015 study found that consuming high levels of sugar-sweetened drinks made neurocognitive functions like decision making and memory worse. 16 . But a more recent study found that healthy volunteers in their 20s scored worse on memory tests and had poorer appetite control after just 7 days of eating a diet high in saturated fat and added sugars.Although more studies are needed to solidify the effects on mental health of sugar consumption, it’s important to consider how diet can affect your well-being.A．Sugar can weaken your ability to deal with stressB．Granted, the research was done on ratsC．Overconsumption of sugar triggers imbalances in certain brain chemicalsD．Sugar can increase your risk for developing depressionE．In fact, sugar may have the opposite effect over timeF．However, the effect on mental health is worth taking a second lookG．If you’re dying for sweets, here’s what to eat instead三、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

But some are moving into their own places as social norms (规范) develop.When Alan, a civil servant willing to challenge and reform this conventional stereotype (陈规), decided to move out of his family home in Singapore, it still took the 27-year-old a month to talk about the topic with his parents. He feared they wouldn’t understand. After all, Alan’s home was a pleasant place. The family’s three-bedroom condominium (公寓) wasn’t far from the city-state’s central business district. There was homemade dinner on the table each night, and his laundry was always donefor him. “There wasn’t a push factor, just pull factors,” he says. “I’d lived with my parents my whole life, so I just wanted to experience what it’s like being by myself, you know?”In the West, leaving home is just another milestone in adulthood. Yet in most Asian societies, things are different. Culturally, moving out is sometimes considered as showing disrespect to your parents, which makes it even challenging and praiseworthy. In Singapore, living at home until marriage is a common practice; an estimated 97% of unmarried individuals lived with their parents in 2013.While the trend is in part driven by deep-rooted ideas of filial piety (孝道), it’s also linked to government policies on accommodation for young people. Most Singaporeans live in public housing units, apartments funded by the state that are known as HDBs. About 90% of those who live in HDBs own their home.Those who can’t buy HDBs can rent via the private property market — but costs are much higher. “These cost restrictions,” says Dr Chua, a professor of sociology, “effectively keep most young, unmarried people living at home with their parents.”Yet Alan, who now rents a flat in Hougang with two friends from junior college, is among the courageous young pioneers resisting the long-time cultural norm. These commendable young people are deciding that the price of the freedom to organize their own life is worth it and stepping out of their home.；4. What can we know from the second and third paragraphs?A．The East and the West are very different in most aspects.B．Alan decided to live separately mainly due to some objective reasons.C．The majority of single young people followed social customs in living in 2013. D．In the East, it is culturally acceptable for the young to live separately from the elderly.；5. What mainly causes most single young people to live with their parents in Singapore?A．Their parents’ expectations.B．Their personal wish.C．The home environment. D．The traditional culture and housing prices.；6. What is the author’s attitude towards the young Singaporeans like Alan moving out? A．Confused. B．Positive. C．Indifferent. D．Doubtful.；7. What is the best title for the text?A．Young Singaporeans’ Relationship with Their ParentsB．Young Singaporeans Fighting Against Old Social CustomsC．Young Singaporeans Striking Out Their Way to IndependenceD．Young Singaporeans’ New Way to Solve High Housing PricesCEradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country’s continuous problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snacklovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, wher e Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water, they cut them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use materials from old coats to line the insides. It takes about four hours to make a sleepi ng bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “not allowed water to enter, not heavy, and not difficult to carry around,” Oleita said. Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800, 000 chip bags and created 110 sleeping bags since last December.Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of achieving a better life－and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.And, of course, there’s the symbolism of saving bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita stated, “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”8. What’s the aim of the Chip Bag Project?A．To draw the snack lover’s attention to the homeless.B．To change the chip bags into sleeping bags for the homeless.C．To recycle the garbage to remove the poverty for the country.D．To help solve the environmental pollution caused by chip bags.9. What can we learn from Para. 2?A．Chip eaters can place the empty bags wherever they want.B．Eradajere Oleita collects the empty chip bags independently.C．The sleeping bags are tough but not easy to carry around.D．The procedure of making a sleeping bag needs masses of chip bags.10. What does the words mean by Oleita in Para. 3?A．The environmental issues should be stressed.B．Poverty should be lifted out of the homeless.C．The Chip Bag Project will impact the society and environment.D．The Chip Bag Project will be devoted to achieving a better life.11. What can be inferred from the text?A．Chip bags are always used to help the homeless.B．Chip bags are only useful in addressing the environmental problems.C．The issues of environment and poverty will be stressed in the future. D．Environmental injustice and poverty are disconnected with each other.二、七选五阅读It is very important to keep fit and stay healthy. A lot of people fail to believethe good that daily exercise does to health and only begin to do so when they suffer from health problems. 12Regular(经常的)exercise helps you keep in good shape. Maybe, you are one ofthe many overweight people struggling with problems of body shape, yet you do not want to do anything about that. Sometimes you see very nice clothes, but they don’tfit you because of your body size. 13Doing exercise keeps you thinking quickly at all times. It’s a perfect way of developing the strength of your mind. 14 Besides, there is a reason why most athletes are usually happy. The release(释放)of dopamine (多巴胺) when doing exercise changes their feelings for the better. 15 Run around the blocks each morning, jog or lift weights and see how much good doing exercise does to your m ind.The good of doing exercise every day is endless, but a lot of people pay no attention to it and finally develop lifestyle-related illnesses later in life. So taking exercise is very important and some of the results of not taking exercise are very serious.16 Having fitness goals that mean something to you will help you keep a strict fitness schedule and achieve the result you want. Besides, using fitness trackers, you can monitor your general physical activity and find out whether you have mad e progress.A．Then why is it important to stay fit?B．How can you drive yourself to exercise?C．Setting high goals for exercise is very important.D．Everyone hopes to live a relaxing and comfortable life.E．So keeping your body active improves the work of your brain.F．Fitness exercise will help you lose extra fat and be in great shape.G．Maybe not having enough exercise is the reason for your easy anger.三、完型填空I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (牧场). He has let me use his 17 to raise money for poor students. 18 I was there he introduced me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let Jack use my house.

Finally, the boy 26 thesame paper, making no 27 at all.

I still have that school paper 30 over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is t hat the same teacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.”When the teacher was leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, I can tell you this now.

While all jobs are expected to grow by 10.4 percent, STEM jobs are expected to increase by 21.4 percent.By this measure, future STEM jobs represent a huge op portunity to today’s students. But, in fact, of the 3.8 million ninth graders in the U.S., only 233,000 end up choosing a STEM degree in college, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. This means only 6 percent of ninth graders will bee STEM graduates. And of these graduates, women will be even more underrepresented in most STEM fields.These are alarming statistics. How do we get more young boys and girls to be interested in STEM-related fields? It isn’t an easy task. Schools do not alw ays adequately prepare students for these severe subjects, and college programs are designed to get rid of those who are lesspersistent. Nationally, only 41 percent of initial STEM majors who begin a degree in STEM-related fields plete their degree in less than six years.In addition, social pressures continue to cast a shadow over girls who might otherwise consider the STEM fields. A couple of years ago, I met amazing parents, both of whom had a background in engineering and hoped their 10-year-old daughter would follow in their footsteps. They encouraged her to take an after-school science / robotics program. When she got there, she found she was outnumbered 6:1 by boys in the class. As the only girl, she came home crying much of the time because she was teased and told that geeky girls are not wele in the boys’ club. Ironically, by the time young boys are entering college programs in STEM fields, many plain about the lack of girls.Starting at an early age, even as young as kindergarten, we need to encourage and help the next generation leaders to consider taking up science, puting, math and technology. We also need to realize that for young girls to be inspired to take and stick with this educational path and later career field, they will benefit from the support of the people that surround them: parents, teachers, friends and family members.56. The STEM statistics are used in the passage mainly to show that ________.A. STEM jobs will be easily available in the futureB. boys have more advantages over girls in STEMC. the number of STEM students is rapidly decliningD. America will face serious shortage of STEM talents57. A large number of STEM students stop their studies when _________.A. they get bored with the subjectsB. they can’t stick to their hard studiesC. they feel they have learnt adequatelyD. they can easily find jobs in other fields58. From the passage we can learn that few girls enter the STEM fields partly because ________.A. few STEM boys like to study with girlsB. there is widespread prejudice against girlsC. most girls are bad at the required subjectsD. most girls take little interest in STEM jobs59. In the writer’s opinion, what should we do now?A. Show the students the advantages of STEM jobs.B. Provide college graduates with more STEM jobs.C. Encourage more young children to take up STEM.D. Make people aware of the importance of STEM.BThis property is owned and managed by Bannits Ltd with an office in Cardiff andOxford.

But when was the last time you measured out a fourth of a container of Cookies & Cream, then put the rest away for another day?For many people, the reality is that much of a pint can easily disappear in one sitting. A large package of Cool Ranch Doritos lists a single serving as roughly 12 chips, but it’s hard to imagine keeping count of every last chip as you dig into a bag.Canned soup may be one of the more obvious examples. According to its label, a single servingof Campbell’s Chunky Classic Chicken Noodl e soup is one cup—just under half a can—and contains about 790 milligrams of sodium (钠). But in a national survey of 1,000 consumers, only 10 percent of people said they would eat a one-cup portion. Most, about 64 percent, said they would eat an entire can at one time, taking in 1,840 milligrams of sodium in a sitting. That is roughly 80 percent of the 2,300 milligrams remended as the upper limit for daily salt intake.In the face of increasing criticism, the Food and Drug Administration (F.D.A.) has been under pressure for years to force food makers to include more realistic serving-size information on their labels. The agency regulates the serving sizes that can be listed on packages by providing food makers with detailed instructions to follow, which list the amounts of a specific food that a person would “customarily consume” in a typical sitting. But critics say these so-called reference amounts are often laughably small because they’re based in part on surveys of eating behavior that were carried out in the 1970s, when Americans ate less food and portions had not been supersized.Now, in an effort to emphasize the problems with some labels, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy group, has picked out what it says are some of the worst offenders. At the top of its list are labels for canned soups, ice cream, coffee creamers and nonstick cooking sprays—all of which grossly understate (少报) the calories, sodium and saturated fat the average person typically consumes when eating these foods.The F.D.A. has been in the process of revising existing food labels since xx. But the agency has been somewhat tight-lipped about where it is in the process and any changes it plans to make, like whether labels should include details on added sugars or just total sugar, for example, and whether calories should be emphasized less or more than they are now.This fall, the Institute of Medicine is expected to release its own report on food packaging and labeling as well.63. According to the passage, when eating canned soup, ________.A. people are aware of the amount they take inB. people are worried about the amount they take inC. many people take in too big an amount unconsciouslyD. most people follow the instructions on the label closely64. The writer tries to convince us that ________.A. food consumers are to blame for eating so carelesslyB. food makers show little consideration for consumersC. most labels on food packages give false informationD. the amount of food in one package is often too large65. What does the writer seem to think of the F.D.A’s efforts?A. Considerable.B. Unsatisfying.C. Unreasonable.D. Effective.66. Which might be the proper title for the passage?A. Problem with serving sizesB. Trend of packaging and labelingC. Relationship between diet and healthD. Efforts to reduce criticism第四部分任务型阅读Attitude is a mental state relative to what we believe and affects our entire lives. We express our attitude in our words and actions.One of the most important steps you can take toward achieving your greatest potential in lifeis to learn to monitor your attitude and its impact on your work performance, relationships and everyone around you.In truth, people generally don’t have a high level of attitude awareness. They’ll know if they are hungry or if their feet hurt, but they usually don’t have a good handle on their attitude. That is a mistake because attitude decides everything. It governs the way you perceive (感知) the world and the way the world perceives you.We all have a choice. We can choose an inner dialogue of self-encouragement and self-motivation. It’s a power we all have. Each of us experiences hard times, hurt feelings, heartache, and physical and emotional pain. The key is to realize it’s not what happens to you that matters; it’s how you choose to respond.Your mind is a puter that can be programmed. Your inner dialogue is the software that programs your attitude, which determines how you present yourself to the world around you. You have control over the programming. Whatever you put into it is reflected in what es out. The sad reality of life is that we will continue to hear negative information, but we don’t have to program it into our brains.The loudest and most influential voice you hear is your own inner voice. It can work for or against you, depending on the messages you allow. It can be optimistic or pessimistic (悲观的). It can wear you down or cheer you up.Habitual bad attitudes are often the product of past experiences and events. mon causes include low self-esteem, stress, fear, resentment, anger and an inability to handle change. It takes serious work to examine the roots of a harmful attitude, but the rewards of ridding ourselves of this heavy baggage can last a lifetime.Here are several strategies to improve your attitude:Enthusiasm—Vital Tool for Staying MotivatedEnthusiasm is to attitude what breathing is to life. Enthusiasm makes it possible for you to apply your gifts more effectively. Enthusiasm means putting yourself in motion. It’s an internal spirit that speaks through your actions.Lighten Up Your Life with HumorHumor is a powerful motivator. The more humor and laughter in your life, the less stress you’ll have, which means more positive energy to help you put your attitude into action. There are also health benefits to lightening up.Exercising Will Help Keep You MotivatedOne of the best ways to move to a more positive and motivated mind is to exercise. A regular exercise routine can provide relatively quick positive feedback in the form of weight loss, muscle development and a sense of doing something positive for yourself.Seek your personal and professional success by using the tools above. It is no secret that life seems to reward us most when we approach the world with a positive attitude.26650 681A 栚/\`31477 7AF5 竵25673 6449 摉} $ 22185 56A9 嚩36751 8F8F 辏35581 8AFD 諽22101 5655 噕/。

As you might imagine, when crops were collected from the fields, calling the season “harvest“ might make people 67 (confuse) because “harvest“ is also the name for the act 68 (it).So “autumn” appeared instead of “harvest”. Then the term, “autumn”, 69 was referred to the season between summer and winter, lasted for a couple of 70 (century). “Fall” as a name for the season came about sometime in the 1500s, a shortened version of the ve ry poetic phrase for “the fall of leaves”.

Think of the last time you looked up a number in the telephone book and dial it. Could you remember that number five minutes later? Probably not! 21 . Short-term memory works like a “holding area” for new information –that’s where you keep the phone number while you dial it But if you can put the phone number into long-term memory, you’ll remember that same phone number next week. This part of your memory holds everything from irregular verbs to the names of all your cousins.When you study, you transfer new information into long-term memory. Every time we learn something new, die structure of the brain actually changes, 22 . When there are more connections to the new information, it's easier to find it again. Brain researchers have discovered four key points for effective study.Make an effort. The brain remembers better when we are interested in the subject, already know a little about it, and know we will need the information in the future.23 . Your brain can process only a limited amount of information at one time, so don’t try to remember every detail. When studying a textbook, look for titles, headings and illustrations to show you the main ideas.24 . One technique is to recite the ideas out loud in your own words. This is the most powerful way to transfer information from short-term to long-term memory. Another method is drawing a picture of the information, to activate the visual part of the brain.Give the new material time to soak in（吸收）– your brain has to build new physical connections. 25 .
