2020届新高考英语新题型练习完形填空阅读理解七选五套餐练（1）完形填空（山东省临沂市2020年高三上学期期末考试）Three years ago，I participated in Model United Nations(MUN)held by the Education Department，which was a mock(模拟的)UN activity．During the two days，students are separated in different groups which 21 different countries to debate and try to solve problems．MUN has 22 awards：best delegates(代表)，honorary mentions，and verbal mentions．Each time I participate in MUN，I made good 23 and undoubtedly got a few awards．But I often felt as if I’d 24 because I had never won the best delegate award．I 25 those who didn’t deserve to win the award but won it various times，and I was just filled with 26 at their success．But later I realized that it was also 27 not to get the award because I could actually 28 something，and that I shouldn’t 29 the best delegate award until I was the best delegate I could be．Failures are completely subjective—we can look at a result as a failure or a 30．Any failure can be regarded as a(n) 31 because you can always learn something from it and do 32 next time．This is supported by John Locke’s theory that we are born with blank views：knowledge and ability are learned from our 33．That’s true．If I make a mistake in the life practice，then I probably won’t 34 that next time．I believe this is 35 the best way to become better．21．A．strengthen B．condemn C．inspire D．represent 22．A．identical B．temporary C．various D．false 23．A．preparations B．predictions C．appointments D．explanations 24．A．accelerated B．failed C．exited D．succeeded 25．A．approached B．trained C．expected D．witnessed26．A．relief B．envy C．satisfaction D．delight 27．A．annoyed B．ashamed C．good D．terrible 28．A．desert B．1earn C．delete D．display29．A．win B．miss C．deliver D．value30．A．bond B．bet C．victory D．1oss31．A．aim B．benefit C．burden D．1imit32．A．funnier B．worse C．better D．slower33．A．decisions B．attitudes C．positions D．experiences 34．A．repeat B．admit C．accept D．notice 35．A．wrongly B．scarcely C．truly D．narrowly阅读理解（山东师大附中2017级第三次月考）AI was in the garden with Augie, my grandson, watching the bees. “How do they make honey?” Augie asked. “Actually, Augie, I don’t know,” I replied. “But, Grandma, you have your phone,” he said. For Augie, holding a smartphone almost means knowing everything.During my childhood I was crazy about books. Over time, reading hijacked my brain, as large areas once processing the real world adapted to processing the printed word. As far as I can tell, this early immersion (沉浸) didn’t prevent my development.Many parents worry that “screen time” will damage children’s development, but recent research suggests that most of the common fears about children and screens are unfounded. There is one exception: looking at screens before bed really disturbs sleep, in people of all ages. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) used to recommend strict restrictions on screen exposure. Last year, the organization examined the relevant science more thoroughly and changed its recommendations. The new guidelines stress that what matters is what children watch and with whom.New tools have always led to panic guesses. The novel, the telephone, and the television were all declared to be the End of Civilization, particularly in the hands of the young. Part of the reason may be that adult brains require a lot of focus and effort to learn something new, while children’s brains are designed to master new environments naturally. New technologies always seem disturbing to the adults attempting to master them, while attractive to those children likeAugie.When Augie’s father got home, Augie rushed to meet him and said in excitement. “Daddy, Daddy, look,” he said, reaching for my phone. “Do you know how bees make honey? I’ll show you…”21. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “hijacked” in Paragraph 2?A. occupied.B. damaged.C. improved.D. relaxed.22. What do the new guidelines of AAP focus on about “screen time”?A. The harm to children.B. The content and context.C. Children’s sleep.D. People’s fears.23. What might be the author’s attitude towards “screen time”?A. Opposed.B. Doubtful.C. Disappointed.D. Favorable.BToday companies have branches around the world. More than 11% of the US employers and employees work online either full-time or part-time, and that number is continuing growing. It is believed that it is a waste of time and money to fly around the world for face-to-face meetings. An effective solution to this problem is to use Web meetings.A large group of presentations, training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face-to-face experience. Web meetings are online meetings where an organizer invites attendees to listen to or watch an online presentation by presenters. Besides, Web meetings can be recorded for later use in presentations or training projects or downloaded for on-demand playback.Presenters can take real-time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting. Some Web meeting software programs can monitor the users’ desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents. If so, the program can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention, and how long the distraction lasts. In this way, the presenters will know which parts of their meetings need improving.Web meetings can work well because they’re hosted on a server (服务器). Images from the presenter’s desktop are taken, uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have accessto the server. Web meetings require a powerful server to deal with several images a second and “serve” them back to thousands of users at the same time.Companies have two choices when it comes to these servers. They can either buy a special Web meeting server to host their meetings on-site, or they can pay for a Web meeting service every time and let the off-site provider worry about hosting the meetings. The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Web meetings, the average number of people attending the meetings, and the quality of engineering and information technology.Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business. With all the technologies today, the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.24.What is the disadvantage of the traditional meeting?A.It needs more people to organize it.B.It is expensive and time-consuming.C.It results in traffic accidents frequently.D.It fails to meet the demands of big companies.25.How do some Web meeting software programs help improve the meetings?A.By presenting successful documents.B.By recording the frequency of distraction.C.By tracking the listeners’ state of attention.D.By taking surveys about a successful meeting.26.What do you know about Web meetings according to the text?A.Web meetings are likely to be widely used.B.Web meetings help presenters stay focused.C.Web meetings determine the quality of engineering.D.Web meetings work well without the help of a server.CEvery year, thousands of teenagers participate in programs at their local art museums. But do any of them remember their time at museum events later in life? A new report suggests that the answer is yes – and finds that alumni (毕业生) of arts-based museum programs credit them with changing the course of their lives, even years after the fact.The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are. They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have been in existence since the 1990s. Alumni, whose current ages range from 18 to 36, were invited to find out how they viewed their participation years after the fact.Among the alumni surveyed, 75 percent of alumni rated the teen program experience as the most favorable impact on their own lives, beating family, school and their neighborhoods. Nearly 55 percent thought t hat it was one of the most important experiences they’d ever had, regardless of age. And two-thirds said that they were often in situations where their experience in museums affected their actions or thoughts.It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens enthusiastic about arts even after they reach adulthood: 96 percent of participants had visited an art museum within the last two years, and 68 percent had visited an art museum five or more times within the last two years. Thirty-two percent of program alumni work in the arts as adults.Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the impact of teen-specific art programs in museums, it reflects other research on the important benefits of engaging with the arts. A decade of surveys by the National Endowment for the Arts found that childhood experience with the arts is significantly associated with their income and educational attainment as adults. Other studies have linked arts education to everything from lower drop-out rates to improvement in critical thinking skills.27. What does the underlined phrase “the fact” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Changing the course of children’s life.B. Participating in childhood art programs.C. Organizing arts-based museum programs.D. Remembering the time at museum events.28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell?A. The result of the study.B. The process of the study.C. The approach to the study.D. The object and content of the study.29. What can be inferred of the study mentioned in the text?A. Passion for arts may remain long in kids’ whole life.B. No other studies exist concerning the benefits of arts.C. Age matters in how people view their art experiences.D. Most children taking part in art programs will work in arts.30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. How is Art Connected to Our Life?B. Can Art Education Affect Our Income?C. What Should Art Museums do for Kids?D. Should Children Walk into Art Museums?七选五（山东师范大学附属中学2020届高三第三次月考）Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from ourselves or someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as lasting.31 We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. 32Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. 33Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we oncesaid. We remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: 34 If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. 35 Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.A.Is it loving?B.How should I say it?C.We all talk to ourselves sometimes.D.Negative words destroy all those things.E.Generally people like positive and pleasant words.F.However, critical language may cause anger and defense.G.So we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves.参考答案完型填空21-25DCABD 26-30 BCBAC 31-35 BCDAC阅读理解21-25ABD BC 26-30 ABDAD七选五CGFAD。

GHave you ever wondered how the trainers at Sea World get the 19,000-pound whale to jump 22 feet out of water and perform tricks? They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine． (1) .So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce(强化) the behavior that they want repeated — in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope． (2) , in a position where the whale can't help but do what's expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, it's given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing — no criticism, no warning and no feedback. (3) . Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope．It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn't starve．(4) . Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, under-criticize．People know they need help when they mess up. (5) , people will not forget the event and usually will not repeat it.So we need to set up the circumstances so that people can't fail. Over-celebrate,under-criticize…and know how far to raise the rope．A．This is a great challengeB．And the whale stays right where it isC．If we figure out a way to motivate the whaleD．They start with the rope below the surface of the waterE．If we under-criticize，punish and discipline less than expectedF．Whales are taught that their negative behavior won't be acknowledgedG．The simple lesson to be learned from the whale trainers is to over-celebrate11.

GComing to study in the UK is your opportunity to gain the skills，outlook and confidence you need to fulfil your potential．Applying to study in the UK is a straightforward process．(1)1．Decide on a university or college and course．To ensure you choose the course that is right for you and for what you want to achieve it is best to read as much as you can about the range of courses，colleges and universities available and compare them．It is also important to check the course entry requirements．(2) If you have any questions，you can contact the university directly，who will be very happy to help you find the information you need．2．Register and apply．Applying for an undergraduate course in the UK is simple；there is one place where you can register and apply to all of the UK universities and colleges - you register and apply through UCAS （Universities and Colleges Admissions Service）．3．(3)Your university or college will contact you （usually via email）to tell you whether or not you have received an offer to study．If you applied via UCAS it's easy to track the status of your application at any time．(4) You have a place and you can accept straightaway．If you are accepted with a conditional offer，the place is yours as long as you meet a few extra requirements．This could be achieving certain exam grades or English language test scores．For some courses you may be asked to come for an interview before you receive your offer，either on the phone or sometimes in person．(5)A．Apply for a visa．B．Accept your offer．C．We will guide you through it step by step．D．Once you have your offer and your visa，it's time to get packing!E．You can do this using the course profiles on the institutions' websites．F．If you are accepted with an unconditional offer，then congratulations!G．Check the course information before you apply to find out whether this is required．E F.F G.

GI work at a community library．Many people are under the assumption that public libraries are no longer needed because of the Internet．Nothing could be further from the truth．(1) ． A simple Internet search for "cats" produces approximately 2.98 billion results in less than one second．It is a huge number! How do you even begin to sort through all of those results？We hear so much about "false news"．(2) ．Librarians are there to help．They have been trained，through special classes and workshops，to sort through all of the results and find credible sources．Author Neil Gaiman said，"Google can bring you back 100，000 answers．A librarian can bring you back the right one．"(3) ．It helps connect people with the resources they need to find a job，continue their education，and learn new skills．It helps seniors find the resources they need to keep up with the "modern" world．It helps new parents develop a love for literacy in their children and bond with them．It helps local artists and craftsmen display their work．It helps students find the answers to those seemingly impossible homework questions．It allows people to meet and exchange ideas．Libraries are so much more than books and information．Yes，there are public computers ，Internet access，movies，music，programs and a thousand other things．(4) ．They are places where people feel safe and welcomed．They are places where someone who has limited resources can freely access materials and equipment they wouldn't otherwise be able to ．They can，at times，be a harbor for someone who needs a quiet place to work or study． Some of the best memories of my childhood involve going to the local library and in speaking with many others in the neighborhood，they too have those same memories．They are presently making those same memories with their children and their grandchildren．(5) ．I don't see the Internet doing that．A．We don't know what sources to trust．B．The public library helps people better their lives．C．The importance of library staff comes to the surface．D．However，libraries' meaning and relevance goes even beyond that．E．The public library brings people together to build a strong community．F．In fact，it is because of the Internet that public libraries are needed now more than ever．G．Every day children，students and adults use libraries to learn，grow and achieve their dreams．21.

The colors that you select create a distinct atmosphere in the room. (1)Pick the color for your room and you can create whatever you feel like. The color will also help you to enlarge the space or making it more inviting, which will also make differently all about it.However, the trick is to select the right version of that particular color. There are different hues (色调) for blues, for instance. (2) Here we have presented a guide that will let you gain a deep insight about the colors.Blue(3) For kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms it is an ideal choice. Of course it is also associated with sadness that means it may not strike note for each and everyone. It is a popular choice among people. Blue comes from the cold side of the color wheel, so it can make the room feel cold, unless and until it is south filling space. If you are attracted to blue color, think of going for purple, or mix red and purple.Dark blue is best for a living room. Probably it is best reserved for high ceiling space. (4)GreenLike blue, green is also a calm shade. (5) It is the shade that reflects nature and renewal. Green produces a positive energy without the feeling of over stimulation.A. Colors can light up the mood of the room.B. You can use it for a living room or a bedroom.C. They won't create similar effect and atmosphere generally.D. Traditionally, blue is just related to calmness and comfort.E. It is better that you select colors that are very warm like blue.F. Dark blue will really make you feel the wall appear near to you.G.

GHow to Rent Your HouseBefore handing the keys to your house over to a complete stranger for care，there are decisions you need to make．In fact，the decisions you make now，before searching for a tenant （房客），will make the biggest impact on the success of your rental．(1)What Condition Do You Want Your House in？There is no end to the amount of improving you can do to your house before renting it out．(2) When is good enough，good enough？A house should be clean，empty （unless you are offering it "furnished"，which is uncommon）and free from any major repairs at the time the tenant moves in．Remember，the home does not need to be as fancy as you would want it to be．(3) Tenants will generally never take as good care of your house as you do-so don't spend too much time or money making unnecessary upgrades that will only be ignored or broken．Should You Use a Property Manager？(4) If you have the time，abilities，and energy to manage yourself-you can save a good deal of money by doing so．However，if you try to manage without the ability-it could end up costing you much more than what a property manager might charge．How Much Can You Rent Your House for？Luckily，discovering what the monthly rent will bear for your house is not difficult．(5) In business，market research means to get out there and find out what others in your industry are charging；learning how much to charge for rent is no different．Your house will generally rent for about the same amount as other properties that are of similar location，size and condition．A．The problem becomes learning when to stop．B．No one wants to be a landlord with those problems．C．The following are some questions to answer before you rent out you house．D．Have a professional carpet cleaner clean the carpets before showing the property．E．Look around at other rentals in your area and try to see what the typical quality is．F．The best way to determine how much your house will rent for is to simply do market research．G．The decision about whether to manage yourself or hire a property manager cannot be made by anyone other than you．31.

GIf you stayed up or had a bad night of sleep last night，you know it's difficult to stay awake in class today．Your teacher's voice might begin to sound like a lullaby（催眠曲）．(1) To keep yourself awake，some tips are worth trying in class．Sit in the front of the room．Why？(2) Besides，it'll be easier to pay attention and participate when you're in the front．You'll also be near the people who are more likely toparticipate，and the sound of their voices might keep you awake．(3) Ask and answer questions and pay attention to the lecture．This will help if you're tired or discouraged by the content of the lecture，because you can ask your teacher questions to get to the bottom of the problems．Talking will also keep you engaged and alert．It might be helpful to make a goal for yourself to answer or ask at least 3 questions per class．(4) For example，you might say "I didn't understand the last part of the proof．Could you explain it again in more detail？"Listen actively to the lesson．Active listening is a great way to force yourself to stay awake because it requires engagement of your mind as well as your body．(5) To effectively listen to your teacher，you should try to maintain eye contact，face the speaker，pay close attention to what the speaker is saying and ask questions during a pause in the lecture．A．Participate in class activities．B．Develop interest in the subject．C．If so，classrooms can be boring because you're tired．D．Keep silent all the time and try to catch as much information as possible．E．To avoid annoying your teacher you should try to keep your questions on topic．F．You'll be more motivated to stay awake if you know that the teacher can see you easily．G．Practicing active listening can help you keep your eyes open for the length of the lesson．36.

GWhat's the purpose of building patience abilities？In a word，happiness．Better relationships，more success．But indeed it takes effort to build them successfully．(1) Thus ，when the big ones come，we will have developed the patience we need for hard times． Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience．We，human beings，are still constructed with our old reptilian（爬行动物似的）brain that protects our physical and emotional survival．On the emotional survival side，we want our way to get ahead，to achieve，to "look good．" Let's just face it．(2) So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience-anger，impatience，blaming and shaming．We all have them．And we can grow beyond them．Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain．Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions-we try to change the other person，situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort．But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that's the source of our pain ，but how our mind is set．(3)Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts．Most of us don't really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest-but very present-painful feelings．(4) But to really care for ourselves，get curious about what's actually happening in the moment inside you．Focusing on what's actually happening，you can notice the worry of not wanting what 's happening，the resistance．(5) When you find yourself impatient，or angry with yourself，you can remind yourself that you are growing，and that，"Sure，this is understandable；this is what happens tome when I'm bothered．" You can say to yourself，" It's true．I don't like this；this is uncomfortable，but I can tolerate it．A．Practice positive self-talk．B．So the solution to pain is an inside job．C．Patience abilities benefit you in many ways．D．Learn to forgive yourself for being impatient in hard times．E．we ignore the fact that we're in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem．F．The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habit-forming．G．Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pains and annoyances．41.

GContinuous learning benefits us in many ways. First of all, it allows the increase in knowledge and ability in our career. For example, watching someone work can make us a better worker. (1) For example, we can learn about the general workforce and how the application process works to better prepare us for job searching. This can help if for some reason you lose your job and need to find other work.What's more, continuous learning can open our mind. Having an open mind and willingness to take on new ideas can do wonders. First of all, it builds your attitude towardschange. (2) Second, when you take continuous learning into account, you can begin to understand how others feel about a particular issue.(3) They are always looking for new experiences and do different things. Moreover, they not only have knowledge on various topics that aren't always related to present roles but also know about the latest trends and technologies in the industry.To develop continuous learning, you have to begin with setting a clear and specificgoal. (4) Once your goal is set, build a system to help support your strategy. You want to be looking for different sources of information, but also to be picky about it. In other words, try to learn within your specific field but ensure the information is coming from a trustworthy source. At the same time, do use tools to help improve your learning system. (5) Seminars (研讨会), workshops, and live classes are the tools that modern learners need as they make learning effective.A. Learning can improve other areas in our lives.B. Besides, learning can prepare us for the unexpected.C. If you're always learning, you are always improving.D. Excellent continuous learners behave in a specific manner.E. Being excited about change can affect others around you positively.F. There're various tools to help you present information and learning.G.

GSmart devices are sometimes powerful．They put a world of information at our fingertips．(1) That is a huge blessing for parents seeking flexible work hours．Smart phones and tablets can also promote efficiency by allowing people to get things done in spare moments that would otherwise be wasted，such as while queuing for coffee．They can even help lazybones create the false impression that they are working around the clock，by programming theire-mail to be sent at 1 am．But for most people，the servant has become the master．Not long ago only doctors were on call all the lime．Now everybody is．Bosses think nothing of invading their employees' free time．(2) Even people with strong mind check their smart devices with heavy addiction，even during pre-dinner drinks，and send e-mails first thing in the morning and last thing at night．(3) How can we harvest the benefits of connectivity without becoming its slaves？One solution is digital dieting．Just as the abundance of junk food means that people have to be more disciplined about their eating habits，(4) Maybe the only way to break the 24/7 habit is to act together rather than individually．The firms should introduce rules about when people are expected to be offline，and encourage them to work together to make this possible．We must be aware that the faster smart devices become and the more addictive the apps that are designed for them，the stronger the addiction will grow．(5)A．This is partly because smart devices are addictive．B．Work invades the home far more than domestic chores invade the office．C．Now it's time to outsmart the smart devices by insisting that everyone turn them off from time to lime．D．the abundance of junk information means we have to be more disciplined about our browsing habits．E．Banning texting at weekends can really show the iPhone who is boss．F．They enable people to work at home instead of crowding into the subway with smelly strangers．G．What can be done to keep smart devices in their place？51.

GHow to revise for a testStudying for tests may be one of the most difficult parts of school． (1) If you feeldiscouraged about an approaching test and need some directions for preparing yourself，consider using the following suggestions to help you out．Aim foremost to understand the concepts．Keep the important points in mind，and ignore unnecessary information． (2)Ask for help．When the need arises，it is best to receive help from the others． (3) You could also ask him/her for a set of questions and answers that could help you memorize the information．You could also ask a family member or a friend for help．Practice in everyday life．Fit reviewing into everyday life by sticking up notes with sentences you need to remember for the test written upon them． (4) You could possibly put one on the bathroom mirror，one at the table and another by the TV．This is optional but highly recommended．(5)Find out how much you remember certain things and what's missing．Decide what you did well in and what you did not so well in．This may boost your chances of getting more marks in the assessment and may also help you remember for next time．For instance，if you are struggling on maths problems based on geometry，then put this down as something that you need to review more than the subjects you are good at．Review often but little．Do not push yourself and try reviewing everything in one day．Practice takes time and if you rush，you won't remember anything．A. Go through what you have been learning．B. Mark your practice tests．C. As long as you remain focused on the main topics，you will be able to do well on the test．D. However，even the worst test performance could be turned around into a successful attempt．E. It can be difficult to remember the material and understand which points to study．F. You will notice them every day and reviewing won't seem to be boring or dull．G. Ask your teacher to summarize the topic with all the important points．56. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G57. A. A B.

GVitamin D is necessary for bone-building，immune （免疫）function，blood sugar control ，positive mood and more．(1) The lower your vitamin D level is，the higher your risk of death from any cause will be．However，it's not a great idea to just take asupplement （补品）off the drugstore shelf and start taking it．Since many of us have an inadequate amount vitamin D，also known as the sunshine vitamin" ，doctors will often give us high levels of D supplements，with closes ranging from 2，000 to 10，000 I（International Units）per day，up to 50，000 IU per week and sometimes even more．(2) Very big doses （剂量）of vitamin D can cause a build-up of calcium （钙）in the blood，which leads to poor appetite，weakness，weight loss or other diseases．Here's the bigger issue；(3) A build-up of stored vitamin D can cause avoidable problems，leading to problems such as kidney （肾）stones．(4) The National Institutes of Health set the Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitamin D at 600 IU daily for babies，children，and adults up to 70 years old．Adults aged 71 and older need 800 IU，since the ability to absorb vitamin D drops with age．Because the fat cells take vitamin D up，making it less available for use by the body，(5)Though you'll get a bit of vitamin D from foods - including fatty fish，beef liver，cheese ，milk and so on - the amounts are so small that there's little need to worry that they'll put you ，over the daily dose．A．It can help prevent many diseases．B．We can actually reduce the risk of death．C．people who are fat may also need more vitamin D．D．any extra intake of vitamin D can get stored in the body．E．But like all good things，it's possible to get too much of it．F．The average daily recommended amounts vary based on your age．G．Vitamin D should be supplemented carefully despite its importance．61.

GHave you ever wondered how the trainers at Sea World get the 19,000-pound whale to jump 22 feet out of water and perform tricks? They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine．(1) .So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce(强化) the behavior that they want repeated — in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope． (2) , in a position where the whale can't help but do what's expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, it's given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing — no criticism, no warning and no feedback. (3) . Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope．It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn't starve．(4) . Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, under-criticize．People know they need help when they mess up.

The colors that you select create a distinct atmosphere in the room. (1)Pick the color for your room and you can create whatever you feel like. The color will also help you to enlarge the space or making it more inviting, which will also make differently all about it.However, the trick is to select the right version of that particular color. There are different hues (色调) for blues, for instance. (2) Here we have presented a guide that will let you gain a deep insight about the colors.Blue(3) For kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms it is an ideal choice. Of course it is also associated with sadness that means it may not strike note for each and everyone. It is a popular choice among people.

GHow to Rent Your HouseBefore handing the keys to your house over to a complete stranger for care，there are decisions you need to make．In fact，the decisions you make now，before searching for a tenant （房客），will make the biggest impact on the success of your rental．(1) What Condition Do You Want Your House in？There is no end to the amount of improving you can do to your house before renting it out．(2) When is good enough，good enough？A house should be clean，empty （unless you are offering it "furnished"，which is uncommon）and free from any major repairs at the time the tenant moves in．Remember，the home does not need to be as fancy as you would want it to be．(3) Tenants will generally never take as good care of your house as you do-so don't spend too much time or money making unnecessary upgrades that will only be ignored or broken．Should You Use a Property Manager？(4) If you have the time，abilities，and energy to manage yourself-you can save a good deal of money by doing so．However，if you try to manage without the ability-it could end up costing you much more than what a property manager might charge．How Much Can You Rent Your House for？Luckily，discovering what the monthly rent will bear for your house is not difficult．(5) In business，market research means to get out there and find out what others in your industry are charging；learning how much to charge for rent is no different．Your house will generally rent for about the same amount as other properties that are of similar location，size and condition．A．The problem becomes learning when to stop．B．No one wants to be a landlord with those problems．C．The following are some questions to answer before you rent out you house．D．Have a professional carpet cleaner clean the carpets before showing the property．E．Look around at other rentals in your area and try to see what the typical quality is．F．The best way to determine how much your house will rent for is to simply do market research．G．The decision about whether to manage yourself or hire a property manager cannot be made by anyone other than you．31.

GWhat's the purpose of building patience abilities？In a word，happiness．Better relationships，more success．But indeed it takes effort to build them successfully．(1) Thus，when the big ones come，we will have developed the patience we need for hard times．Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience．We，human beings，are still constructed with our old reptilian（爬行动物似的）brain that protects our physical and emotional survival．On the emotional survival side，we want our way to get ahead，to achieve，to "look good．" Let's just face it．(2) So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience-anger，impatience，blaming and shaming．We all have them．And we can grow beyond them．Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain．Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions-we try to change the other person，situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort．But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that's the source of our pain，but how our mind is set．(3)Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts．Most of us don't really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest-but very present-painful feelings．(4) But to really care for ourselves，get curious about what's actually happening in the moment inside you．Focusing on what's actually happening，you can notice the worry of not wanting what 's happening，the resistance．(5) When you find yourself impatient，or angry with yourself，you can remind yourself that you are growing，and that，"Sure，this is understandable；this is what happens to me when I'm bothered．" You can say to yourself，" It's true．I don't like this；this is uncomfortable，but I can tolerate it．A．Practice positive self-talk．B．So the solution to pain is an inside job．C．Patience abilities benefit you in many ways．D．Learn to forgive yourself for being impatient in hard times．E．we ignore the fact that we're in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem．F．The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habit-forming．G．Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pains and annoyances．41.

GContinuous learning benefits us in many ways. First of all, it allows the increase in knowledge and ability in our career. For example, watching someone work can make us a better worker. (1) For example, we can learn about the general workforce and how the application process works to better prepare us for job searching. This can help if for some reason you lose your job and need to find other work.What's more, continuous learning can open our mind. Having an open mind and willingness to take on new ideas can do wonders. First of all, it builds your attitude towardschange. (2) Second, when you take continuous learning into account, you can begin to understand how others feel about a particular issue.(3) They are always looking for new experiences and do different things. Moreover, they not only have knowledge on various topics that aren't always related to present roles but also know about the latest trends and technologies in the industry.To develop continuous learning, you have to begin with setting a clear and specificgoal. (4) Once your goal is set, build a system to help support your strategy. You want to be looking for different sources of information, but also to be picky about it. In other words, try to learn within your specific field but ensure the information is coming from a trustworthy source. At the same time, do use tools to help improve your learning system. (5) Seminars (研讨会), workshops, and live classes are the tools that modern learners need as they make learning effective.A. Learning can improve other areas in our lives.B. Besides, learning can prepare us for the unexpected.C. If you're always learning, you are always improving.D. Excellent continuous learners behave in a specific manner.E. Being excited about change can affect others around you positively.F. There're various tools to help you present information and learning.G. Knowing what you want to achieve can encourage you to keep learning.46. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G47. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G48. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G49. A. A B. B C. C D.

GSmart devices are sometimes powerful．They put a world of information at our fingertips．(1) That is a huge blessing for parents seeking flexible work hours．Smart phones and tablets can also promote efficiency by allowing people to get things done in spare moments that would otherwise be wasted，such as while queuing for coffee．They can even help lazybones create the false impression that they are working around the clock，by programming their e-mail to be sent at 1 am．But for most people，the servant has become the master．Not long ago only doctors were on call all the lime．Now everybody is．Bosses think nothing of invading their employees' free time．(2) Even people with strong mind check their smart devices with heavy addiction，even during pre-dinner drinks，and send e-mails first thing in the morning and last thing at night．(3) How can we harvest the benefits of connectivity without becoming its slaves？One solution is digital dieting．Just as the abundance of junk food means that people have to be more disciplined about their eating habits，(4) Maybe the only way to break the 24/7 habit is to act together rather than individually．The firms should introduce rules about when people are expected to be offline，and encourage them to work together to make this possible．We must be aware that the faster smart devices become and the more addictive the apps that are designed for them，the stronger the addiction will grow．(5)A．This is partly because smart devices are addictive．B．Work invades the home far more than domestic chores invade the office．C．Now it's time to outsmart the smart devices by insisting that everyone turn them off from time to lime．D．the abundance of junk information means we have to be more disciplined about our browsing habits．E．Banning texting at weekends can really show the iPhone who is boss．F．They enable people to work at home instead of crowding into the subway with smelly strangers．G．What can be done to keep smart devices in their place？51.

GHow to revise for a testStudying for tests may be one of the most difficult parts of school． (1) If you feel discouraged about an approaching test and need some directions for preparing yourself，consider using the following suggestions to help you out．Aim foremost to understand the concepts．Keep the important points in mind，and ignore unnecessary information． (2)Ask for help．When the need arises，it is best to receive help from the others． (3) You could also ask him/her for a set of questions and answers that could help you memorize the information．You could also ask a family member or a friend for help．Practice in everyday life．Fit reviewing into everyday life by sticking up notes with sentences you need to remember for the test written upon them． (4) You could possibly put one on the bathroom mirror，one at the table and another by the TV．This is optional but highly recommended．(5)Find out how much you remember certain things and what's missing．Decide what you did well in and what you did not so well in．This may boost your chances of getting more marks in the assessment and may also help you remember for next time．For instance，if you are struggling on maths problems based on geometry，then put this down as something that you need to review more than the subjects you are good at．Review often but little．Do not push yourself and try reviewing everything in one day．Practice takes time and if you rush，you won't remember anything．A. Go through what you have been learning．B. Mark your practice tests．C. As long as you remain focused on the main topics，you will be able to do well on the test．D. However，even the worst test performance could be turned around into a successful attempt．E. It can be difficult to remember the material and understand which points to study．F. You will notice them every day and reviewing won't seem to be boring or dull．G. Ask your teacher to summarize the topic with all the important points．56. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G57. A. A B.

GVitamin D is necessary for bone-building，immune （免疫）function，blood sugar control ，positive mood and more．(1) The lower your vitamin D level is，the higher your risk of death from any cause will be．However，it's not a great idea to just take a supplement （补品）off the drugstore shelf and start taking it．Since many of us have an inadequate amount vitamin D，also known as the sunshine vitamin" ，doctors will often give us high levels of D supplements，with closes ranging from2，000 to 10，000 I（International Units）per day，up to 50，000 IU per week and sometimes even more．(2) Very big doses （剂量）of vitamin D can cause a build-up of calcium （钙）in the blood，which leads to poor appetite，weakness，weight loss or other diseases．Here's the bigger issue；(3) A build-up of stored vitamin D can cause avoidable problems，leading to problems such as kidney （肾）stones．(4) The National Institutes of Health set the Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitaminD at 600 IU daily for babies，children，and adults up to 70 years old．Adults aged 71 and older need 800 IU，since the ability to absorb vitamin D drops with age．Because the fat cells take vitamin D up，making it less available for use by the body，(5)Though you'll get a bit of vitamin D from foods - including fatty fish，beef liver，cheese，milk and so on - the amounts are so small that there's little need to worry that they'll put you ，over the daily dose．A．It can help prevent many diseases．B．We can actually reduce the risk of death．C．people who are fat may also need more vitamin D．D．any extra intake of vitamin D can get stored in the body．E．But like all good things，it's possible to get too much of it．F．The average daily recommended amounts vary based on your age．G．Vitamin D should be supplemented carefully despite its importance．61.

高考英语一轮复习七选五专练八篇含答案
七选五专题演练八篇仿真演练(一)Spot lights are not just for rock concerts and Broadway shows. There are many ways to use them around your home's exterior as well. You can use them to add safety to a stairwell, prevent intruders from entering your home or show off your favorite rose hush.__1__. Learning the advantages of this option will help you decide whether they are right for your home.Solar spot lights are highly energy efficient. Since they are operated solely using power from the sun, they will save you money and help the environment over time. __2__, so you do not need a large upfront investment prior to seeing savings once you are using them.__3__. Since they do not require direct electricity, there is no wiring to worry about and typically, no special tools required. You can install them virtually anywhere, staking them into the ground, hanging them from the eaves of your home or even attaching them to siding, brick or trees in your yard.Solar spot lights are very safe to use, as well. __4__ when installing the lights. You can confidently place them near a swimming pool or other water source with no qualms, and you do not need to be concerned about wires being struck or cut when pets dig, children play or you spend time gardening in your yard.__5__. You should wipe them regularly with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and dirt that build up over time. They do require batteries, but they generally last a year or longer, and you can always buy a set of rechargeable batteries to make your lights even more frugal (节约的) and environmentally friendly.A. Finally, they are easy to maintainB. They are extremely easy to installC. lastly, they do not require direct electricityD. Solar energy is a free, inexhaustible resourceE. Again, they need no wiring, so there is no risk of electrical shockF. In addition, they are not particularly expensive to purchase eitherG. If you should decide to use them, consider installing solar spot lights（二）A New Trend of Micro MuseumsIs Making Science PortableScience museums are amazing. You can see large dinosaur bones from the huge creatures that disappeared thousands of years ago or take a look at cells under a microscope. __1__.You can learn so much at a science museum if living close enough to one. However, for those who don't live in a city, getting a chance to visit science museums is not easy. “__2__, their influence is limited. There just aren't enough science museums,” said Charles Philipp. “And due to the high costs，it's unlikely that we'll be seeing a bunch of new traditional science museums popping up all over the country anytime soon.”Philipp and his partner Amanda Schochet have decided to reinvent science museums by getting them small. They founded MICRO, a nonprofit organization that builds tiny 6foottall science museums, which are portable and replicable(可复制的). __3__. They can get access to it for free in such places as waiting rooms of hospitals, libraries, airports, and even shopping malls.__4__, they made it with the help of a team of engineers, storytellers and designers. Each of the micro museums has a scientific topic. The first museum is the Smallest Mollusk(软体动物) Museum showing the world of mollusks, which has won great popularity as the only museum devoted just to mollusks. A second museum is the Perpetual Motion Museum that focuses on physics and engineering and will officially open next year. It asks why things move, and why they stop. __5__. Hopefully one will come to a neighborhood near you soon.A．Science museums are beneficialB．While the content is vitally importantC．Although it costs nothing to visit museumsD．The plan is to get people of all ages connected with scienceE．Even though making the tiny museums a reality was difficultF．Such new museums allow people to explore fun scientific topicsG．You can also learn to think like an engineer by building a model ship（三）Flextime is a flexible hours’ schedule in which employees choose their own working hours, usually working within approximate limits set by the employer or by the government. __1__For employees, flextime has a clear advantage. __2__ For example, people can use flextime to create schedules which will allow them to go to school, handle childcare, assist relatives, and perform other tasks. Employees may also use their flextime to create a schedule which optimizes creativity, as in the case of someone who would prefer to work earlier in the day to get more accomplished.__3__ First, it tends to increase employees' satisfaction. This makes the company a better and more productive place to work. In addition, flextime can allow companies to serve clients for a greater portion of the day, as employees will be around at varying hours to answer phones, attend meetings, and so forth.Most flextime schedules include core time. __4__ Employees are also usually given an hourly, daily or weekly limit to ensure that they do not violate laws about working hours. Or the company is only willing to pay wages for so many hours of work each week.A classic example of a flexible time schedule is that someone who works four 10hour shifts a week can take three days off. Flextime can also be combined with flexplace, in which the environment is better than that of the office. __5__ Employers may also allow people to work in untraditional settings such as coffee houses.A．Employers benefit from flextime a lot.B．It's also seen as a family friendly policy.C．However, flextime may not be applicable to all fields.D．It is a period of the day in which everyone is expected to be at work.E．Many employers all over the world offer this method to their employees.F．For example, home offices are increasingly popular among many companies.G．It allows them to make changes to their work schedule which will suit their lives.（四）During your university education, you'll be exposed to ideas and scientific theories of scholars and scientists. Unavoidably, your own ideas will be shaped by the ideas you come across. __1__. That means you should go beyond what you learn in your textbooks or in the library. Your original work is the basis for your professor's evaluation of your performance. Thus, academic honesty is fundamental in your university education. It demands that you cite the source materials you base your own work on. _ _2__.Correctly citing your sources helps you distinguish your own ideas from those of other scholars. On the reader's side, it permits a reader to determine the depth of your research. __3__. On the contrary, lack of citing will only raise your reader's doubt.So you need to learn when to cite and how to provide an adequate or accurate reference list. If you fail to cite your sources, whether deliberately or carelessly, you will be found responsible for plagiarism(抄袭). __4__. If you are not sure, ask your professor for guidance before submitting the paper or report. Keep in mind this general rule: when in doubt, cite!__5__. For example, students from East Asia may think that copying directly from sources is the proper way to do research. Students in France, preparing for the final examination, may be encouraged to memorize whole passages and copy them into papers. Those cultural differences can lead to false assumptions about academic expectations in the country you study in.A．Some university students may cheat in different waysB．These include other scholars' ideas, figures, graphs and so onC．The academic challenge you face is to make something originalD．Often, students want to use others' opinions to support their own essaysE．It also allows a reader to appreciate your original contribution to the researchF．For international students, it is important to know local academic expectationsG．Not knowing academic regulations is an unacceptable excuse for such behavior（五）A new urban sport, parkour, is hitting the streets. It has evolved from obstacle course training into a fitness option for young people. In parkour, the outside world is the gym! ____1____ The goal of parkour is a direct route from one place to another. You meet an obstacle, you overcome it.Mark Toorock, who teaches the techniques of parkour at his fitness gym, says that parkour is a method to train the body and mind using obstacles as the medium. He says that this new sport is demanding and takes years to master. _____2_____But Toorock, who used to be a martial arts expert, says that everyone can benefit from learning the basic skills involved in parkour like running, jumping and crawling (爬行). These are the things , that humans used to have to do all the time. ____3____ The original idea of parkour was to returnto running and jumping as basic elements in moving from one place to another.Georges Hebert, a French navy officer, was so impressed by the effortless athleticism of African tribes that he devised a training method based on running, climbing, jumping, balancing and throwing. The word parkour comes from parcours de combatant, the French term for a military obstacle course. ____4____Dr Kenneth Kao explains that the sport of parkour is not extreme – it is the environment which is extreme and dangerous. Being outside jumping off railings and flipping over park benches can be quite frightening, so parkour courses in gyms concentrate on practicing all the individual moves to make everything easier. ____5____ However, that is not real parkour because it’s indoors with a fixed obstacle. The goal for everyone is to go outdoors.A. Gyms provide thick floor matting (垫子) for rolling and rubberized boxes for jumping over.B. The bridges, buildings and railings (栏杆) of each and every city are the equipment.C. Every action in parkour is natural, so everyone must have the ability to move in this way.D. Parkour was introduced into china in recent years and has gained popularity.E. But today, due to modern transport, these basic skills are no longer used on a regular basis.F. The French word for people who participate in the sport is traceurs or traceuses.G. Beginners should realize that they won’t be jumping over buildings any time soon!（六）Here's a surprising truth—one of the most powerful weapons to enhance your life is your owntongue!1 Concentrate on the qualities of other people that you can affirm instead of on their faults. This alone should do wonders in relieving stress in your relationships. Doctors know that prolonged anxiety harms you，but encouraging words can remove stress and a peaceful mind leads to improved physical health, too. 2Avoid fueling verbal fire. When someone starts to blow up all at you，be careful about your response. Why burn your relationship house down with your own mouth？Try spraying water on an argument with calm words instead of using a flamethrower. How many marriages have been destroyed when in a fit of anger people spew out hurtful accusations to one another that are never forgotten! 3 “A soft answer turns away wrath(狂怒), but a harsh word stirs up anger.”Stop complaining. We all know people who complain all the time，especially about the fault of others. 4 Nothing is ever going well for them，and probably nothing ever will—as long as they keep complaining and putting their energy on what they really don't want.Do think before you speak. 5 It is useless regretting. It doesn't matter how unintentional they may be，words can sometimes cut a lot deeper than a sword. Very often you'll hear people say，“I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.”Well，if you didn't want to hurt feelings why couldn't you be thoughtful before you let the unpleasant words escape your loose lips?A．You should practice waiting a while before answering someone when you are angry.B．Practice speaking positive words instead of negative ones.C．We store in our minds in a kind of mental art gallery what others have said to us.D．Once the words leave your mouth, it is impossible to take them back.E．The longer you think, the better you'll speak.F．The more they do so, the more they are disliked.G．Think twice before speaking.（七）Having a learning disability doesn’t mean you can’t learn. Learning disabilities happen because of the way a person’s brain takes in and processes information. ___1___ The trick will be figuring out how you learn best.Learning disabilities aren’t contagious(传染的), but they can be genetic. That means they can be passed down in families through the genes, like many other traits we get from our parents and grandparents. Someone with a learning disability probably has other family members who have some learning troubles, too. Kids with learning problems are sometimes surprised to find out that one of their parents had similar troubles when he or she was in school. ____2____Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works.It’s very hard for a kid to know if he or she has a learning disability. But kids don’t have to figure all this out on their own. ___3_____ Start with your teacher and your mom or dad.Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting. ___4_____ But the truth is that learning disabilities are pretty common. And if your learning specialist or psychologist has figured out which one you’re facing, you’re on the right track. Now, you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.To make this special help really work, you’ll need to practise the new skills you’re learning. It may take a lot of efforts every day. ____5____ Soon, you’ll enjoy the results of all your hard work: More fun and success at school!A．As a result, some people learn differently.B．What a kid needs to do is to tell someone.C．That can be a challenge, but you can do it.D．You might feel different from everyone else.E．There are people who know how to do just that.F．But kids today have an advantage over their parents.G．But you’ll need some help and you’ll need to work extra hard.（八）A Memorable Science ProjectIf someone tells you to remember a phone number or address, it feels like an easy task at first. You repeat the numbers to yourself, either aloud or in your mind. But after just a few seconds you might find yourself starting to doubt your own memory. 1 Thus, it will try to throw awayinformation that seems old or irrelevant. There are ways of helping our minds retain(记住) information, however, and in this activity you will explore ways that we lose and keep memories.Shortterm, or working memory, is a way of describing most people’s abilities to store a small amount of information for a brief period of time in a readily accessible form. 2 People don’t have to stop and think to remember something in shortterm memory.3 Such techniques include visualizing(观察) the information in a surprising way or linking pieces of information together so that one reminds you of the other. In the case of visualizing information, this could be as simple as remembering you parked your car on the fifth floor in the D section by picturing five dogs sitting in your car！4 If you need to purchase cereal(谷物), milk, fruit, cheese and eggs, you could imagine the cereal in a bowl, with milk pouring over it and pieces of fruit on top. Then imagine cracking an egg over everything, and it’s full of melted cheese! These may seem simple or even silly.5 In this activity you’ll test the recall of a few friends or family members, and learn a few tricks for improving memory!A．There are many techniques for improving memory.B．Our brain is always seeking new and useful information.C．Shortterm memory has a short duration but is quickly and easily accessed.D．In addition，linking information could help you remember your grocery list.E．Retaining that information over longer periods of time becomes difficult yet.F．Your shortterm memory has a limited amount of space to store information.G．However，they are proved to be good ways for improving memory by scientists.答案（一）1-5 GFBEA（二）GBDEF(三) EGADF(四) CBEGF(五) BGEFA(六) BGAFD （七）AFBDC (八) BCADG。

A． B．C． D．2．Videos on the website are .A．watched over 70 million timesB．voted by their usersC．based on newspaper storiesD．created by users3．What do and have in common?A．They include funny videos.B．They include valuable advice.C．They include debates on education.D．They provide satirical news.BFood storing is common in members of the crow(乌鸦) family.A new study tested the birds outside this naturally occurring behaviour，which may have evolved(进化) specifically because it gives crows a survival advantage.Some crow species are known to naturally use tools to recover food.So the researchers tested whether the birds could store and recover a tool so they could get it at their food after a gap of 17 hours—something we wouldn’t expect them to do naturally.But they were able to instantly select the tool out of a number of unnecessary items.In another experiment，the researchers taught crows to select a token(礼品券) from a number of items so that they could then exchange for food.Again，the birds then showed that they could plan for the future using this new behaviour.This is different from all of the previous studies in future planning，which have focused on naturally occurring behaviour.For example，we know that chimpanzees(黑猩猩) select，transport and save appropriate tools for future needs.These studies have shown that animals can plan for the future—but they left an important question open for debate.Are animals only able to plan to use abilities that have evolved togive them a specific advantage，or can they flexibly and intelligently apply planning behaviour across various actions？Most critics would say the former，as the animals were tested in naturally occurring behaviours.But the new research provides the first evidence that animal species can plan for the future using behaviour that doesn’t typically occur in nature.This supports the view that at least some recognitive abilities in animals don’t evolve just in response to specific problems.Instead，it suggests that animals can apply these behaviours flexibly across problems in a similar way to humans.We need to investigate how flexible behaviour evolved.Then we might be able to see how crows’ abili ty to plan for the future fits in with their broader cognitive powers.4．What’s the new finding about some crows according to Paragraph 1?A．They can store food.B．They can use tools to recover food.C．They can store and recover tools.D．They can select and store food.5．What are crows trained by scientists to do when given a token?A．Reject it casually. B．Exchange it for food.C．Save it as their food. D．Build a nest with it.6．What do scientists think of the studies that animals can plan for the future?A．They are controversial.B．They are disappointing.C．They are contradictory.D．They are convincing.7．What can be inferred about recognitive abilities in animals?A．They develop only with age.B．It is unclear how they’ve evolved now.C．No animals but crows benefit from them.D．Planning for the future helps their evolution.CA young Los Angeles actor in need of a second job to pay his bills has come up with abrilliant way to supplement his income—people walking.Chuck McCarthy originally considered becoming a dog walker to earn some extra cash，but soon realized that the job required more than walking dogs on a leash.However，walking people didn’t require much when they were out on walks.Chuck realized there was money to be made if he walked people around Los Angeles instead.It might sound like a joke，but The People Walker，as he calls himself，is very serious about his new job.For $7 per mile，he offers to walk with clients around L．A.，listening to their problems or simply making conversations and offering them a sense of security.At 6-feet,2-inches，and sporting a bulky figure and bushy beard，Chuck doesn’t look like the kind of guy you’d want to mess with.Chuck’s services are aimed at people who need a motivational boost to go walking，those who don’t feel sa fe walking alone in some areas，and those who are afraid that people might see them walking by themselves and think that they have no friends.“I wear my The People Walker shirt upon request and on the first walk with a new client，so they can be 100% sure it’s me，” McCarthy says.However，he admits some people are a bit uncomfortable with this policy，as they don’t necessarily want everyone to know that they’re being walked.So far，Chuck McCarthy has already had another five people walkers employed，covering various areas，like downtown L．A.，Hollywood，Eagle Rock，or Fairfax.Once he posted signs around the city，his phone started ringing and clients began rolling in.And with all the free publicity he has been getting in the press lately，more requests are coming.While he hopes that his acting career will pick up soon，in the meantime Chuck is very happy with his people walking business.After all，it’s literally a walk in the park and it pays the bills.8．What does the underlined word “supplement” in Paragraph 1 mean?A．Save. B．Increase.C．Change. D．Invest.9．Which service of The People Walker isn’t mentioned in the text?A．Cheering up the clients.B．Accompanying the clients.C．Buying the clients food.D．Offering a sense of security.10．Why do people prefer Chuck to walk without wearing the shirt?A．To keep the walk comfortable.B．To avoid being recognized.C．To attract more new friends.D．To keep themselves alone.11．What do we know about Chuck McCarthy from the text?A．He has lost confidence in his acting career.B．He hopes to find excitement in people walking.C．He has inspired other people to be more creative.D．He earns more as a people walker than as an actor.Ⅱ.七选五Every one complains.Even if you argue that you are the happiest person in the world you still complain sometimes.Sometimes you complain：without even realizing it，but rarely is it ever helpful. 12 Here are some tips to stop complaining and give up the negative thoughts：13When you find yourself thinking or saying a negative comment about something or someone，stop and force yourself to say something positive instead.Seek the help of a cheerful friend to change you when you complain and help you to see the positive aspect in the situation.Make a list of things we are grateful for.We often com plain about the things we don’t have without noticing those things we already have.Be grateful for what we have in our life because we are lucky simply for being ourselves. 14Learn to adapt to the changes.There are many things we can’t change.15 Always find the positive side of each situation regardless of however difficult the situation is.With parents’ and friends’ support，we can survive any life changes.Allow yourself to vent(发泄) your feelings every once in a while.Constantly ignored negative thoughts could add up.If you are really going through a rough time，don’t be afraid to share your feelings with a close friend or family members or see a therapist.Find what makes you happy.16 Maybe it is time to make the hard decision to move on to another job or career.Uncover what your biggest complaints are about and see if you can change the situation to make you happy.Choose happiness，focus on the positive sides and be kind always! A．Change the way you think.B．Make positive people friends.C．Sometimes this list can be easy full of hobbies you enjoy.D．Are you constantly complaining about your present job?E．The best and only thing we can do is to accept them.F．So how can you manage to force yourselves to end complaining?G．Set down things we ar e thankful for and we’ll see that we don’t have any reason to complain.答案解析Ⅰ.1．B[细节理解题。

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

They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways, that they are too serious and too strict with their children, and that they seldom give their children a free hand.It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children's trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young.For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to showthat they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older people's world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That's why young people want to make a new culture of their own, and if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their ways of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say“yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents' control.If you plan to control your life, you'd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________2.Spending time together is very important for a family.

Get an answer from online technology support now.Decide which type of software you will use to create a class website. Microsoft has many applications that can be used to create websites, such as Publisher and Expression Web.

This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.So, you have to give a speech and you're terrified. You get nervous, forget whatyou want to say, stumble (结巴)over words, talk too long and bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank goodness, it's over. I'm just not good at public speaking.

Know your subject, your audience and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you'll see that you don't have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! If you're not convinced yet, give it a try and see what happens.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____5.You're sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns (打哈欠). Suddenly, you're yawning with him, though you're not tired.This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize(同情) with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagious(有传染性的) yawning, which showed that humans communicate regularly without words.Hugo D．Critchley, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley, our mind and body are in constant exchange about how we're feeling. “Emotions are closely linked with states of internal (体内的) responses，”he explained. “There are also more visible changes in our gestures and facial expressions. When we're in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, there's the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are lessobvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure.Hugo D．Critchley further explained, “Our bodies synchronize(同步) and when we like the other person, we ever copy his behaviour. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you're sitting—it's pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe it's our way of telling each other that we're partners. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle but clear signals that show emotions.”So, what lessons can we learn from this? “Spend time with happy people—otherwise your health could suffer，”said Critchley. “When we're sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we're happy, our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel healthy and it affects everyone around us.”________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________6.Baseball is a great game, one that is played and enjoyed by tens of millions of people. Many of those who enjoy the game grow up playing baseball and watching baseball games. Few get good enough to be a great player, but everyone can, with practice, become a better player.How can you develop your baseball skills? The answer is simple: play. The more you play, the more you'll learn about the game. You'll develop baseball instincts(直觉)—you'll know what to do without even thinking about it. Your skills will get better and better. And whether or not you become a great player, you will likely develop a deep love for the game of baseball that you can share with your friends and family. Many adults' most wonderful memories are of playing baseball when they were kids.Hitting practice is the time to experiment. First, try out different kinds of bats(球棒)—heavy bats, light bats, long bats, short bats, wooden bats, and metal bats. You don't necessarily have to buy yourself a new bat to try it out. Borrow a bat from a friend, or buy a cheap used bat at a second-hand store.Then try different ways to stand. Watch your favourite player's stance(站立姿势). Try out some of the advice a coach or a friend has given you. Find out what feels the most comfortable. As long as you can see the ball well and keep your eye on the ball, then your stance is fine. You may find a better stance someday, but for now, gowith what feels the best.Most importantly, work on hitting the ball. Don't worry about how hard you hit it. Just practise hitting the ball with every swing. After all this hitting practice, you'll find your hitting gets better and better. Your body will know exactly what to do. In the end, without even trying, you'll start hitting the ball harder.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ _______7.Online schools are becoming very popular today. Whether it is working professionals who cannot afford the time to go to a full-time college because of their huge workload or stay-at-home mums who have many duties and cannot join in a college, online schools are much enjoyed at all. And now, even regular students, who have the time to go to college, are going in for online education, as it leaves them with enough time to pursue(追求) other things, such as a part-time job or a hobby, along with studying. However, as with everything, there are both advantages and disadvantages of online schooling.Let's start with the positives. These schools cost much less. You don't have to spend money on buying books or bus fees. Another advantage is the flexibility it provides. You can study at any time during the day. You can study wherever you want—in your house, at a café or even in a park.Move on to the disadvantages of online schooling. Those students who always need a push from their teachers to do well, are very likely not to do well in online schools. And the greatest disadvantage of going to school online is that there are many employers who prefer students with a traditional degree to those who have an online degree. The employers feel that students who go to full-time colleges are more knowledgeable compared to those who have online degrees. Since the very purpose of education is to land a person a good job, online degrees, many a time, do not serve this purpose.No doubt that online schools offer the freedom which no regular college can provide. However, how much the employers will value the degrees and whether a student can actually make his own study schedule and most importantly, stick to it, depend upon individuals( 个人). So in the end, it can be rightly said, online schools are good for some, while others should give them a skip.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________8.Christmas, which falls on Dec. 25 every year, is the most important festival in the West.During Christmas, a big fat man in a red suit usually takes centre stage. His name is Santa Claus.He lives in the North Pole and sends presents to children in a magic sled that is pulled by flying reindeer.It sounds crazy, but Santa Claus is very popular. Small children around the world even leave food out for Santa and his reindeer on the night before Christmas. When they wake up in the morning, some of the food is eaten and there are presents under the Christmas tree.As you grow older you learn that Santa is not real and it is in fact just your parents. I was about 7 or 8 years old when I figured it out myself. But that doesn't stop people celebrating Christmas in the same way.So where did Santa Claus come from? Santa was actually a real man called Saint Nicholas, which sounds very similar to Santa Claus. He was born about 2，000 years ago in the Roman Empire. He was a very kind priest(神父) who would travel the country to help people, giving gifts late at night. He did not like to be seen giving gifts, so children were encouraged to go to sleep quickly. Nothing has changed today, with Santa Claus not visiting until all the children are asleep.The United States' version (版本) of Santa Claus was started when Dutch settlers arrived about 400 years ago. They called him Sinterklaas and that was slowly changed to Santa Claus over the years. Once big companies like Coca Cola began to use Santa Claus in their advertisements, he quickly became a symbol of Christmas.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________9.Over the past few years, there has been a big increase in the number of people sharing information online. In this article, we will learn about some positive factors for people to share information online.We often share information with our friends in the office or at home to educate, entertain or pleasantly surprise them. In this way, we can connect with others. This is also true while sharing information online. If you look at the Facebook wall posts of your friends, you will realize that most of their updates are usually famous quotes, entertaining videos, inspirational images, funny jokes, etc. Ninety-four per cent of those who responded to a survey by The New York Times said they put a lot of thought into how the content they are sharing will be beneficial to others.A lot of people share information online to portray their true self to the outside world. Some people, especially those who are shy and not comfortable talking about their areas of interest in the presence of others, find it extremely convenient to share that information online with like-minded individuals.Seventy-eight per cent of the respondents in the study of The New York Times said they shared information online because it helps them develop better relationships. Today, a lot of people do not have the time to meet each other in person, and the Internet has become a great substitute. A lot of people now “meet” each other online, rather than in conventional places like restaurants and pubs.Lastly, when we share our thoughts online, we are actively engaging with thevast community of people who are a part of the World Wide Web. Sharing information will make a difference to the viewpoint of others, or add to their understanding about the world.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________10.Getting up early has been regarded as a good habit since ancient times. Many years ago, people thought that if we went to bed early and got up early, we would be energetic the whole day. So, getting up early is of great importance to us all.In fact, morning is the best time of a day. In the morning, the air is the freshest and people are usually in the best condition. Many of us may have the experiences that we memorize some things more quickly and correctly in the morning than at any other time of the day. And it is certain that we find it easier to understand what we learn in the morning. If we get up early and do some morning exercise or only take a short walk in the morning, without doubt we can build up our bodies and become much healthier. Also we will have enough time to make a plan and get ready for our work or study of the day if we get up early. For example, if everyone in the familygets up early, wives will have enough time to prepare the breakfast for the whole family; children will have enough time to catch the school bus, and husbands will never forget to change their dirty shirt. Everything will be in order. However, if we get up late, we'll probably have to do everything in a hurry.Let us remember getting up early is a good habit and try our best to keep it. Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit of getting up early. They have to make an effort to do so. If we stick to getting up early every day, we will certainly benefit a lot from it.________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____答案：1One possible version:Many children and parents can't get along.

You’ll live longer if you d o There is no d enying that 2020 has reduced activity levels. Between the Zoom meetings, Netflix binges and virtual cocktail hours, increased sitting is a pandemic-driven reality for many.31．But there is good news! Despite all that sed entary time, with as little as 11 minutes of movement a day, you can increase your life span, a recent study has found.32．It's true; past studies, including a popular study from 2016, had originally put the daily exercise target at 60 to 75 minutes for mortality benefits. However, that study was based on self-reported data, which this latest study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found to be flawed due to people misremembering their actual activity levels.Taking a more objective approach, scientists at the Norwegian School of Sports Medicine based their research on the use of activity monitors to track exercise versus sedentary time. The results showed that participants who exercised 35 minutes per day saw the biggest statistical difference on life span. Yet just 11 minutes of moderate exercise — equivalent to a brisk walk — still had a noticeabl e positive impact. 33．Here is a way to consider—4 sets of a 3-minute body-weight exercise sequence. Depending on the exercises you use, you may go at a slightly different pace during each round, making it about 11 minutes. When sel ecting your exercises, try to pick a sequence of movements that will equate to a full-body workout of mod erate effort. 34．Ideally, do a combo, determining the number of repetitions for each exercise based on your fitness level and maintaining a three-minute sequence for the time frame.See how easy it is to fit in 11 minutes of daily exercise?

Advice is highly needed on everything from what to pack to how to protect yourself. 36．Don’t take the unfamiliar road. Whil e part of the joy of exploring nature is seeing new and beautiful views, if your road trip includes a hike, stay on the marked path. Never give in to your curiosity to hike off-trail and in unfamiliar or unmarked areas. “ 37．” Warned by Dr. Velimir Petkov.Pack cl othing. In the morning, when you set out on your adventure, your temperature will likely be comfortable. As the sun reaches its highest point, you’ll start to sweat inside your car. 38．That’s why experts reco mmend packing everything you need to stay comfortable, including clothing for different temperatures.Make sure you get enough sleep. While many people have difficulty sleeping, plenty rest is necessary before a long car ride. “Do not drive while you are f eeling sleepy. 39．” Petkov recommended. He also noted that even if you get the benefits of seven to eight hours of sl eep, a little coffee can never hurt.Protect your skin. You may not consid er the sun whil e sitting in the car.

Starting a conversation with someone new can be difficult, especially if you feel shy. Once you break the ice, however, you may find yourself in the middle of a bunch of friends. Choose someone to introduce yourself to. 42．And then talk about something related to school, such as, “When is the homework due?”43．Go to a park in the school neighborhood before school starts and maybe you can meet someone from your new school. If you make a new friend or two in advance, you won't feel so alone when you go to the first day of school.Participate in activities. Sign up for activities like sports or chess club. This will put you into smaller groups with peopl e who have similar interests as yours. 44．You might even be able to teach some other kids about how to do something.Set goals for yourself. By setting goals for yourself every day or every week, you can see how you are adjusting lo your new school in very real ways. For example, you can say, “45．.” Or you will plan to attend one club meeting this week.A．Smile and say hell o to him.B．Learn the rul es of the school.C．Try to meet new peopl e before school starts.D．I'll try saying hello to 3 new peopl e every day.E.Preparing for the first day can make life a lot easier.F.This will also give a chance to show your skills.G.In fact, school life will get easier when you know how to make new friends.With final exams drawing near, many students are understandably anxious and stressed out. Some even feel unprepared and approach these days with a sense of dread. This feeling is often made worse by all those wishing you luck and insisting that you enter the arena fill ed with confidence and positive thinking. 46．In fact, it’s a sign of intelligence.You may notice that stud ents with the l owest expectations often got the best results and vice versa. This makes total sense. Because you will focus on the subject when you have l ow expectation. 47．Conversely, if yo u d on’t know a lot about a subject, you might think it’s easier than it is, only to be struck dumb in panic when the questions actually are hard.Nancy Cantor is a researcher that rejects this culture of unbridled optimism. She believes defensive pessimism is a good strategy, for people with low expectations prepare themselves for possible failure and are therefore motivated to work hard to avoid that failure.48．In 1991, the great footballing nation of Austria was humiliated in the European Cup by amateurs from the Faroe Islands—a group of fishermen who had never played football before. Before kickoff, the Austrian manager was on TV predicting that they woul d win the game 15:0. But they l ost. 49．This actually fired them up, giving them the courage to charge at their professional opponents, who were l eft dumb.Great football managers never underestimate the opposition and neither shoul d you. If you’re feeling anxious going into the exams, that’s a good sign, not a bad one. 50．A．The history of sport bears this out.B．Pessimism is often seen as a negative trait in sports.C．The fishermen had zero expectation of winning, and they had nothing to l ose. D．Actually, it’s OK to feel pessimistic going into a big exam or other difficult situations.E.The more you know about a subject, the l ess likely you are to over-estimate your ability.F.So, just believe the confid ence for success comes from accepting the possibility of failure.G.Pessimism can drive someone to make full use of their stress to help them become optimistic.Who shoul d you be friends with?For International students, if you are going to the USA for the next four years, acad emics (学术水平) should not be the only thing you think about. To quote(引述) Hamlet: “To be, or not to be (surrounded by people from your home country): that is the question.To BEInstant friendshipThere is nothing like the instant connection with friends from your country while abroad.You d on’t have to explain cultural references, and that makes everything easier. 51．Why woul d you come to a compl etely different country if you are going to just hang out with the exact same people?Sense of communityIn some universities, if you have friends from your country, you can organise events to celebrate some of your country’s festivities. 52．NOT TO BEYou’re learning EnglishOne of the main reasons to study abroad is to l earn a language through complete immersion(沉浸). 53．Learning from different culturesLearning from different cultures will give you a new way of seeing the world. 54．No matter where they come from, students have similar questions and d oubts, so you won’t be alone.55．Who should you be friends with? What will make you grow, and what will make you the happiest? You decide.A．Surrounding yourself with the people from home can limit that experience.B．But be careful not to make them your only friends.C．You should be surround ed by people from your home country.D．In the end, it really is up to you.E.With more people from your country, it becomes a support network as a community.F.You miss the food, the music or your family.G.You will be surprised to find how similar different cultures can be.Personal Development is not just a simpl e personality improvement plan, but also a process to improve your life. The outcome of this helps you fight all those challenges to d eal with any of the uncontrollable aspects of your personality. This is a process that helps build the base to handle any of the off-track situations. 56．.Develop positive attitude: 57．. This helps you behave and maintain your personality traits (特性) to a normal level，even in the extreme conditions. This makes a very useful ingredient towards buil ding the positive attitude in life.Communicate effectively: Our personality is basically identified on the basis of the type of communication we are able to perform. A person is shy if he/ she lacks an easy open communication. 58．. Thus, a personal development plan helps improve on the communication grounds as well.59．: When one is confident about oneself, the confid ence is well reflected in whatever we d o. A finely created Personal Development Program is a booster dose to this self-confidence, thereby adding a greater value to inner strength.Bring out your hidd en talents: Personal Growth and Development programs are d esigned in such forms to bring out the hid den yet beneficial personality characteristics within every person. This helps in moving ahead in life and attaining the expected goals easily.Thus, Personal Devel opment can help extract the vital traits out of a personality and ad d value to other need ed traits. 60．.A．Raise your self-respectB．Devel op inner strength and confidenceC．But a confident person is able to fight for his\ her dreamD．A positive personality helps and motivates your inner selfE.Here are the reasons why personal devel opment is importantF.However, an outgoing person has the ability to communicate openlyG.This will also add to your personality and help to move ahead in lifeHumans have littl e difficulty recognizing one another. And we know that no two faces are exactly alike. Even identical twins have slightly different faces. Each human face is trulyunique. Usually we judge a person from his personal facial features. 61．Governments, empl oyers and security and police services are increasingly using facial recognition technol ogy. 62．Systems are becoming so advanced that a wanted criminal can instantly be picked out of a cr owd of thousands of people. All that’s required is an image in a database to compare with the image of any number of people in a crowd. Ordinary people, too, are using facial recognition to unlock their phones, their computers and other devices.63．It is convenient, easy to operate and it also relieves us of the need to memorize passwords. However, a device will require a password in the rare event that it doesn’t, for whatever reason, recognize the user’s face.There are numerous concerns about the use of facial recognition. 64．The installation of more and more cameras in public and private places is now part of everyday life. This means people can be observed and recognized wherever they go. Cameras may make public spaces safer, but keeping law-abiding(守法的) citizens under constant watch is disturbing too many.In the age of the coronavirus and the wid espread wearing of masks, facial recognition systems are having some difficulty. A mask covers many of the facial data points used by recognition software to confirm a person’s id entity. 65．That could affect how d ependable it is.A．The major concern is that it threatens privacy.B．The cameras may need to be replaced frequently.C．This all ows them to quickly confirm an individual’s identity.D．Personal facial recognition protection has strengths and weaknesses.E.In response, facial recognition systems are being trained to use less facial data.F.And now we’ve invented machines used to recognize faces for different purposes.G.In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion.Your education is very important. 66．By working on making a good impression each day, you can enjoy a positive relationship with your teacher.Greet your teacher with a smile. Your teacher likely arrives to work very early each day, perhaps ever before the sun has risen. 67．Greeting your teacher with a smile and warmregards every morning is a great way to promote your relationship and to improve their day.68．Another way to establish a good relationship with your teacher is by being punctual (准时的) to class all the time, always arriving before the bell rings. This will all ow your teacher to see you as a reliable person who is respectful of their time.Never argue with your teacher. Though you may see some of your classmates being disrespectful (不尊敬的) to your teacher, try very hard not to become one of these people. Your teacher has been hired to guid e your education and to help you learn important knowledge that will be useful to you in life. Respect this and d o not argue with them. 69．Foll ow instructions. Your teacher likely has a set of rul es that you must obey in class in addition to the regular school rules. 70．If your teacher feels that you keep yourself out of trouble, they will view you more positively and your relationship will strengthen.A．Come to class on time.B．Apologize for past mistakes.C．Be sure to make a note of these rules and to keep them.D．Every day, they have to work with lots of different students.E.So it is important to buil d a good relationship with your teacher.F.However, d o ask questions if you are confused about something.G.Anything you need to say to a friend can be said after class or during a break.Here are some methods that can effectively help you learn.Don't expect to learn much by just watching, listening or reading. Instead, try to build your own story. For exampl e, you can be driven to a store 20 times and still not know the road. 71．.Go over a piece of information repeatedly. Most of the information we absorb in a typical day is not only forgettable. 72．. Do you really want to remember forever what all the strangers you passed today on the sid ewalk were wearing? So how does your brain know whether something should be put into your l ong-term memory or not? Repeat it over a period of time!73．. If you try to go over it too late, the original memory will be nowhere to be found. Butif you wait only a few minutes to review it, it's too quick for you to signal your brain to put it into long-term memory.74．. Flashcards, whether they're physical or virtual, are a great way to do memory practice because they help space out attempts to remember, and you can come back to them easily periodically(周期性地).But you have to foll ow certain rules in order to make better use of the flashcards. The No.1 rule is that you need to guess the answer before l ooking at the card. Even if you think it is hopeless for you to remember, try.75．.Wait l ong enough between practice sessions. You have to make it a struggle to remember.A．Actually, it should be quickly forgottenB．The second rule is that you need to make it hardC．Used in the right way, flashcards can be of great helpD．Therefore, repetition is very important for l ong-term memoryE.But once or twice you try to drive there and you'll know the road by heartF.Burning an idea into memory by going over it again and again in a single sessionG.The key for repetition is that you can neither wait too long nor try to review it too fastUseful Memory StrategiesForm associations between new and remembered information. If you can link new ideas with previously established ones, then you can increase the chance that new memories will be formed. Try coming up with a familiar picture, song, joke, or rhyme that you can associate with the new material. 76．Repeat new facts as soon as you come across them. It may be boring, but simply repeating new information over and over in different ways will help it stick in your brain better, especially if you space out the repetition over time.77．Then speak the d efinition out loud a coupl e times, and try writing it down once or twice.Teach someone else the information you’re trying to learn. 78．Find a classmate orco-worker who needs to l earn the same information, form a study group, and take turns teaching each other different concepts. Alternately, ask your friends if they’re willing to learn。

How Arts Promote Our EconomyWhen most people think of the arts, they imagine the end product, the beautiful painting, a wonderful piece of music, or an award-winning performance in the theater. But arts groups bring broader value to our communities. The economic impact of the arts is often overlooked and badly judged.The arts create jobs that help develop the economy. Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists, technical experts, managers, musicians, or writers to create an appealing piece of art. These people earn a living wage for their professional knowledge and skills.Another group of folks is needed to help market the event. "If you build it they will come" is a misleading belief. Painters, digital media experts, photographers, booking agents and promoters are hired to sell tickets and promote the event. According to the Dallas Area Cultural Advocacy Coalition, arts agencies employ more than 10,000 people as full-or part-time employees or independent contractors.A successful arts neighborhoods creates a ripple effect（连锁反应）throughout a community. In 2005, when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to our town, the location was considered a poor area of town. After investing more than $1 million in reconstructing the building, we began producing a full season of theater performances, jazz concerts, and year-round arts education programs in 2008. Nearly 40 percent of jazz lovers live outside of the Dallas city limits and drive or fly in to enjoy an evening in the Bishop Arts District.No doubt the theater has contributed to the area's development and economic growth. Today, there are galleries, studios, restaurants and newly built work spaces where neighbors share experiences, where there is renewed life and energy. In this way, arts and culture also serve as a public good.Teco Theatrical Productions Inc. made use of Bloomberg's investment of $35,000 to get nearly $400,000 in public and private sector support during the two-year period. Further, Dallas arts and arts-based businesses produce $298 for every dollar the city spends on arts programming and facilities. In Philadelphia, a metro area smaller than Dallas, the arts have an economic impact of almost $3 million and support 44,000 jobs, 80 percent of which actually lie outside the arts industry, including accountants, marketers, construction workers, hotel managers, printers, and other kinds of art workers.The arts are efficient economic drivers and when they are supported, the entire small-business community benefits.It is wrong to assume arts groups cannot make a profit. But in order to stay in business, arts groups must produce returns. If you are a student studying the arts, chances are you have been ill-advised to have a plan B. But those who truly understand the economic impact and can work to change the patterns can create a wide range of career possibilities.2.（2018•北京）任务型阅读Why Do We Get Angry?Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering（触发）events, personality traits（特征）, and our assessment of situations. ________Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more.________ The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one's personal history and psychological traits.Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. ________ Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.________Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.________However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.3.（2018•天津）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
高中英语 专题模拟训练(阅读七选五) 高三高考二轮复习练习
专题模拟训练(阅读七选五)阅读七选五(一)一、(北京市第四中学2019－2020学年高三上学期期中考试)Are You a Prisoner of Perfection？Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach？ 1 Are you setting yourself up for failure and shame when you can’t achieve the unachievable? Understanding wha t drives perfectionism is the first step toward releasing this self-created anchor that keeps us stuck.Shame and fear are often the hidden drivers of perfectionism.We believe that if we can fashion a perfectly polished personality，flash our intelligence，and perfect our humour，then no one can hurt us with criticism and we’ll win respect and approval.2 Politicians who display a desperate need to be right and refuse to acknowledge mistakes or uncertainty are often driven by a secret shame.They fear that showing vulnerability(弱点) will expose them to the accusation that they’re weak.They stick to a desire to be right，perfect，and polished，even when it’s obvious that the emperor has no clothes.Perfectionism keeps us leaning toward the future.We’re constantly evaluating ourselves in order to do better. 3 However，if we can’t relax and enjoy lighter moments，then we become prisoners of our perfectionism.We get painfully self-conscious and take ourselves too seriously.Sadly，we deprive(剥夺) ourselves of the simple pleasure of enjoying the moment and being ourselves.4 We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn’t mean that we are a failure.Without failures，we’ll never learn from our mistakes；we’ll never move forward in our lives.Those who succeed have made countless mistakes.The important thing is to learn from our error，forgive ourselves and move on.Being human，perfection is impossible. 5 Releasing ourselves from the desire to protect our image，we’re freed to sail gracefully through our successes and f ailures—and enjoy our precious life.A．Do you hold an idealized vision that is impossible to realize?B．A cure to perfectionism is to make room for our human shortcomings.C．Do you fear that others will be horrified by what you judge about yourself?D．The addiction to staying perfect protects us from any sign of being imperfect.E．There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do our best and self-correcting along the way.F．People who are addicted to perfection are often isolated，even if they seem outgoing and popular.G．By accepting ourselves as we are and doing our best，we begin to rid the shame that drives perfectionism.【答案】 1.A 2.D 3.E 4.B 5.G【解析】这是一篇说明文。
