Life could not go if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. So animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants don’t grow from seeds. They grow from spores. Spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as the seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.50. The main idea of the passage is that __________.A. plants are important for lifeB. plants cannot grow without airC. there are many plants around usD. we cannot live without water51. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. Plants can be divided into main types: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.B. All fruits have seeds in themC. Seeds are protected by the fruits.D. Some plants grow from spores.52. The word “non-flowering ” in this passa ge means __________.A. 开花的B. 有花的C. 多花的D. 不开花的53. In “shady” place there is __________.A. a lot of sunshineB. a lot of waterC. no waterD. little sunshine参考答案46-53 CDDAABDD******************************************************结束LLetter t o Editor of TV Weekly Dear Sir/Madam,I read Alison Burnham's review of When we were 12, and I do not agree with her.I thought the programme was wonder- ful--I found the old news pictures really interesting--they helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling.The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood. For example, one day when I was about five, I was going to school on the bus by myself (this was the late 1960s). My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket.I held out my hand with the money in it--one big coin on top of one little coin. The bus conductor took the big top coin only and she gave me a ticket, but it was a pink one for a single journey. I needed a white one for a return journey, but I was too frightened to say anything. When school finished for the day, I couldn't catch the bus home--I had to walk. As a grown-up, whenever I've been in a situation where I need to say something or take some action, this early memory of my bus ride comes back to me, and I'm able to take control of the situation.I would like to say to the director, Bret Ctfrysler, carry on making this kind of programme. Too much TV these days is quiz shows and so-called "reality programmes".I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and cry. Yours faithfully, Chris Daniels1. What is Chris Daniels' purpose of writing this letter.A. To persuade Bret Chrysler to turn away from quiz shows.B. To entertain other readers with old news pictures.C. To express his appreciation of the programme.D. To have his story told on the programme.2. Chris Daniels tells the story about the bus ticket to_______.A. describe how painful his early experience wasB. draw a direct response from Alison BurnhamC. show how the programme made him thinkD. teach the readers of TV Weekly a lesson3. According to the passage, Chris Daniels had to walk home because_______.A. he hadn't got a return ticketB. he had lost his bus ticketC. he didn't like big crowdsD. he missed the bus home4. What does Chris Daniels now think about his experience on the bus?A. He should have told the conductor then.B. He should have been well treated.C. He regrets going to school alone.D. He wishes it hadn't happened.【解析】本文是作者为感谢TVWeekly节目而给编辑写的一封信,信中谈到自己童年时的真实经历和感受。

2012高考英语二轮复习专题限时训练专题3任务型阅读

2012高考英语二轮复习专题限时训练专题3 任务型阅读10(25分钟)(A)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格中填入最适当的单词。

每空格1个单词。

Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study. Instead, they’re a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book. The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey or while you’re hanging out with the family.Before getting into the recommendations, we need to determine your English reading comprehen sion level so you don’t pick a book which is so challenging that it’s stressful or so simple that it’s boring.If you’re at the beginner level, there are two options: reading a children’s book or reading a book that you’ve read in Chinese translation. Thi s will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases, since you’re already familiar with the story. If you’re at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options, as they’ll be guaranteed page turners and that will increase the possibility of your getting all the way through the book. For advanced readers, science fiction, classic works of literature or contemporary prize winners (Booker, Nobel, Pulitzer)are good options.The most important thing is to pi ck a book that you’re really interested in. When I pick up a new book in Chinese, the first few chapters are always really hard to get through, as I have to get accustomed to the way the individual author uses the language. But after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story. Some of my favorite Chinese-language eye candy are books that are series like Brothers by Yu Hua or The Dancer by Hai Yan. I like them because there’s always a lot of action and story de velopment to keep me involved, which helps me make it through those first few chapters.Another great way to keep yourself motivated over the holiday is to find a friend who’s interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve anddiscuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by SMS or e-mail. I’m currently doing that with my friend Laura. We’ve been doing this since we were classmates in Chinese at college. Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by US writer Michael Crichton or British writer Agatha Christie; and if you like horror, US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. But really you should just find a topic or author that you’re interested in, and the rest will go from there. Happy reading!-from 21st Century(January 21, 2009)(B)Ambition is a necessary quality in life. It is the force which drives us on to use whatever talent we have got. If we haven’t got some degree of ambition, these talents will not be used for our own and other’s benefit. We must continually want to be better than we are. Without ambition we are just jellyfish that flop through life. We only react to events; we don’t try to control them.Ambition, however, can have several defects.First of all it can be unrealistic. We may not be able to see the limits of our own abilities, so we do ambitious things that are completely beyond us. Our career masters can see our good qualities and our limitations objectively. They may tell us that we haven’t th e ability to deal with people and would make good businessmen. We refuse to take their evaluation. We keep on trying. Many years and many disappointments later we are forced to accept their judgment. But what a waste of time our ill-founded ambition has caused us!Secondly, our ambition can be too concentrated. We devote our attention to one narrow aim, such as getting distinctions in our science subjects. Everything that may draw us away from this aim is cut out of our lives. In the end we get our distinctions. But what damage we have caused ourselves in the process! We are isolated beings who only care about a particular examination. And we probably won’t make good scientists. We lack the breadth of view necessary for success in higher studies.Thirdly, our ambition can be limited to lifeless objectives. We want to gain money, or power, or membership of some circles. Persons who feel inferior try to make up by seeking the respect of others through possessions of these artificial signs of worth.Fourthly, our ambition may be self-centered. Instead of directing some of our ambition towards community improvement we may exploit members of the community in the interests of self-advancements. In later life we may be ambitious for the success of our children but we regard this success as only a further mark of our own success.Ambition is necessary in the lives of individuals---necessary for their own improvement and for the improvement of the community in which they live. But, like all blind forces, it must be directed if it is not to cause disaster. It must be tightly controlled by the head and the heart. Otherwise ambition may demand too high a price in terms of human qualities.1.improve2. benefiting3. enable4. lacking5. greater6. reputation/fame7. selfish8.others’9. Conclusion 10.master。

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

Studies show that what you wear can have a significant effect on your mood. So make Monday the day you wear your favorite clothes or show the latest addition to your wardrobe (衣橱).

高三英语限时训练三答案

高三英语限时训练三答案

What do you want to be when you grow up A teacher A doctor How about an ice-cream tasterYes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufactu rers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream — as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道).Some people think that it would be easy to do this job:vc after all, you just have to like ice cream, right No —there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor” Next it’s time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy — working at one cool job.65. What is John Harrison’s jobA. An official.B. An ice-cream taster.C. A chemist.D. An ice-cream manufacturer.66. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to ______.A. keep a diary of workB. have a degree in related subjectsC. have new ideas every dayD. find out new flavors each day67. What does Harrison do first when testing ice creamA. He stirs the ice cream.B. He examines the color of the ice cream.C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.D. He lets the ice cream warm up.68. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passageA. Tasting with EyesB. Flavors of Ice CreamC. John Harrison’s LifeD. One Cool Job答案65. B解析:这是一道推断题。

We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the eart h. If we didn’t see some rain soon we would lose everything.I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill(溅出) the water he held in them. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them.I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer laying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap(舔) up the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hand.I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops... and more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, Himself, was weeping with pride.26. What can be learned from Paragraph 1?A. The writer lived in the hottest place.B. It wouldn’t rain during the dry season.C. All the crops in the area were dead.D. People were in great need of rain.27. Billy walked carefully to the woods because ______.A. he was not old enough to walk freelyB. he didn’t want to be followed by his motherC. he tried not to spill the water in his handsD. he want ed to attract his mother’s attention28. Why did the writer almost scream for Billy to get away?A. Because she saw the most amazing site in the woodsB. Because those large deer appeared dangerousC. Because she saw a baby deer laying on the groundD. Because the deer suffered from heavy loss of water29. After learning about the truth, the author felt _______.A. curious and confusedB. scared and excitedC. moved and curiousD. proud and moved30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Water of LifeB. Importance of WaterC. How to Save AnimalsD. Animals in DangerBIt was one of the happiest times of my life. I was 29 and had just received my bachelor’s degree, graduating with honors despite working two jobs and being a wife and mother. My parents and five-year-old son were in the audience when I walked onto the stage at Ashland University to get my diploma. I was so excited and proud to be starting a teaching career and contributing more to my family’s well-being.But when I got home that evening, there was a note from my husband written on the back of an envelope. It basically said he had come to get his clothes and wouldn’t be back. We’d been having trouble, but the finality of that note still came as a shock. He had emptied our bank account. We were horribly in debt. I had quit my previous jobs in expectation of interviewing for a teaching position. Plus, I was eight months pregnant.I had my son, and I was about to bring a new life into the world, so despite my deep sadness, I had to go on. The next morning, I woke up, put my feet on the floor, took a deep breath, fixed breakfast, and basically did everything I always did. I used my routine to keep me moving. After being in the military for six years, I guess you can say I relied on my training, like all good soldiers do in tough situations. One small step after one small step was the way I bounced back.And in the seven years since, I’ve continued movi ng forward. I got a job as a kindergarten teacher, earned a master’s degree in education, and watched my babies grow to twelve and seven. I certainly would never have chosen to put them through this, but looking back, I’m glad it happened to me when it did. It helped me find my voice and myself a lot sooner. It helped me grow independent, confident, and strong—things I’m hopefully instilling(灌输) now in my children.31. After getting her bachelor’s degree, the author expected to ________.A. become a teacherB. be a wife and motherC. work two jobsD. get divorced32. What do we know about the author from Paragraph 2?A. Her husband wrote a note to congratulate her on her graduation.B. She had just been to a job interview when her husband left her.C. Her husband paid off all the debts from the bank.D. She was going to have another baby soon.33. The author’s hardships in life made her ________.A. become confident and independentB. work harder in the kindergartenC. use her routine to move forwardD. feel pleased with what happened to her34. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A. The author’s parents helped her a lotB. The author received further education laterC. The author earned a master’s degree when she was 29D. The author didn’t know how to deal with marriage35. What helped the author to pull through her hard time?A. The divorce with her husband.B. Her fellow soldiers in the army.C. Her decision to find a new job.D. A strong mind and love for her kids.第二节信息匹配(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息请将36-40各小题中的人物与A-F 中的书目匹配起来。

What can visitors do in Le Parc de la Villette?A.Visiting museums. B.Attending concerts.C.Admiring waterfalls. D.Watching puppet shows.BA team of researchers at ETH Zurich has the perfect long-lasting solution to our fog problem. They have developed a very thin and gold-based transparent coating (涂层) that can convert sunlight into heat, which can be applied to glass and other surfaces to prevent them from fogging.The special coating is developed using titanium oxide and gold particles. It selectively absorbs infrared radiations (红外线照射) from the sunlight and creates a heating effect that is powerful enough to keep fog away from the surface of an object.The coating basically employs heat to stop fogging. The coating absorbs a large part of the infrared radiation, which causes it to heat up-by up to 8℃.Previously, products like anti-fogging sprays create a very thin film of water on the surface to remove fog. The problem with such surfaces is pollution. Along with water, the sprays also attract dirt, dust, oil, and various other dirty substances, and just a little dirt on the surface makes it useless. However, the new coating repels (排斥) water. Furthermore, the coating is significantly thinner, which makes it more transparent as well as flexible. It is heated passively and requires, during daytime, no additional energy source.Gold might be expensive, but the researchers stress that their coating requires solittle that the material costs remain low. Their coating is produced with standardized and readily scalable methods, all cost-effectively. However, although this product can work at very low levels of solar irradiation, it does rely on a certain amount of light.The researchers will develop the coating further for other applications.

The announcement of the death of Ernest Shackleton on 30 January 1922 was greeted with an outpouring of national grief.This was the man, after all, who had saved the entire crew of his ship Endurance —which had been crushed and sunk by ice in 1915 — by making a daring trip in a tiny open boat over 750 miles of polar sea to raise the alarm at a whaling station in South Georgia.It remains one of the greatest rescue stories of modern history and led to the idolising of Shackleton in the United Kingdom, a reputation that survived undamaged for the rest of the century. As his contemporary Raymond Priestley, the geologist and Antarctic explorer, later put it: “When disaster strikes and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton.”And here and now in 2022, his death is being marked with an elaborately illustrated exhibition —Shackleton’s legacy and the power of early Antarctic pho tography — which opens at the Royal Geographical Society (RGS), and which includes a range of images and artefacts from his expeditions. Additionally, a digitally remade version of South, a documentary film of Shackleton’s 1914-16 Endurance expedition, is being screened at the British Film Institute.The film and most of the exhibition’s finest images are the handiwork of Frank Hurley, who sailed with Shackleton and who was one of the 20th century’s greatest photographers and film-makers. Both film and exhibition feature striking camera work and provide vivid accounts of the hardships that Shackleton and his men endured as they headed off to explore Antarctica.Even after he survived the great expedition, he still longed for another trip to Antarctica, and after long negotiations set sail in Quest, from England, with the aim of circumnavigating (环航) Antarctica, Shackleton was by now very ill and had suffered at least one heart attack. On 2 January 1922, he wrote in his diary: “I grow old and tired but must a lways lead on.” Three days later he had a major heart attack and died a few hours later. He is buried on South Georgia, scene of his greatest triumph.“Shackleton was an inspirational leader. He had an innate sense of what was possible and achievable. He also had a huge personality but led by example. At the same time, he was sensitive to the needs of the individuals he was leading. For example, after Endurance broke up, his men had lost their protection and shelter. Their social fabric had been destroyed. There would have been disagreement. Yet Shackleton succeeded in keeping them together and made sure they survived.”8. People were overcome with grief when Ernest Shackleton died because .A.it was a huge pity that such a brave explorer should ha ve died from a heart attack B.he was the man that wrote about one of the greatest rescue stories of modern history C.he came to his entire crew’s rescue and symbolised hope in extreme circumstances D.there was no one to pray to anymore when disaster came and there was no hope9. What can we learn about the exhibition?A.It presents Shackleton’s 1914-16 Endurance expedition with powerful Antarctic photos.B.It celebrates the 100th anniversary of the great explorer Ernest Shackleton’s birth. C.It consists of vivid photographs, artefacts, and documentaries of Ernest Shackleton.D.It is created by Frank Hurley, who witnessed Shackleton’s heroic acts with his own eyes.10. Which of the following is NOT true about Ernest Shackleton according to the passage? A.He was the leader of a heroic exploration to the South pole, who died from a heart attack off shore.B.He saved the crew members of the sunken Endurance by travelling to raise the alarmin a tiny boat.C.He is universally recognised as the greatest Antarctic explorer who has enjoyed enduring fame.D.He was inspirational, practical, responsible, sensitive towards his men, but had a strong character.11. What does “Their social fabric had been destroyed. ” in the last paragraph most probably mean?A.What they wore would not be accepted by others upon returning.B.They could no longer socialise with others even if they went back.C.The ship could not keep them together even if they survived.D.They could not function socially as they had when there was shelter.二、七选五阅读Do you want lots of success in school and in your friendship?

2023届高三英语晚自习限时训练

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

高三英语高效限时训练

高三英语高效限时训练

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

A study in 2019 found that the possibility of terrible events like Hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico is now almost five times higher due to climate change.The storms were similar in many ways but had their own features. Maria was a Category (类别) 4 hurricane whose speed was up to 155 mph, while Fiona, a Category 1 storm when it landed Puerto Rico, was gentler, with winds of up to 85 mph, which later increased to 115 mph as the storm progressed through the island.And yet, the heavy rain caused by Fiona brought Puerto Rico to its knees. According to the data by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the slow moving storms brought 15.80 inches of rain over a 5-day period, slightly more than Maria at 14.72 inchesThis confirms another long-held thought that, with climate change, horrible storms will not only become more common but also wetter.That’s because the increase in temperatures is leading to more loss of water from the sea and warmer air can hold more water vapor (水蒸气). The average temperature all over the world has already increased by nearly 1.2℃ due to climate change and for each 1℃ of warming, the air’s ability to hold water is thought to increase by about 7%. The latest research suggests that the increase may be three times higher, at 21%.;4. What was a direct cause of more storms in Puerto RicoA.Loss of forests. B.Puerto Rico’s location.C.Human activity. D.Climate change.;5. Compared with Maria, what’s the feature of Fiona progressing through Puerto RicoA.It brought less rain. B.It moved a bit slower.C.It caused a longer power cut. D.It brought more deaths.;6. What do the figures in the last paragraph showA.Rainfall increases with temperature rising.B.Puerto Rico is a place raining all the time.C.Storms are common in Puerto Rico.D.Slower storms cause more damage.;7. What’s the best title for the textA.Puerto Rico: Survival of PeopleB.Puerto Rico: Frequent FloodsC.Climate Change: Wetter Puerto RicoD.Climate Change: Disasters on Their Way to Puerto RicoCSheneman, a 33-year-old artist, was first diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病) around five years ago, and she says it was a wake-up call. Since then, health has become a huge part of her life.What she realized while battling this condition, though, is that a lot of people weren’t aware of what she went through on a daily basis. “Which is crazy to think about because there are so many diabetics out there,” she said. So, Sheneman came up with an art project that would offer a deep understanding of what diabetics go through.On April 1, she started her journey, a 470-mile walk, from her college town of Cincinnati, Ohio, and her plan is to make it to her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, by the end of the month.Throughout this journey, people will be able to watch her glucose(葡萄糖) levels through an app that’s connected to her glucose monitor, the Dexcom G6. The monitor provides real-time alerts when her glucose levels vary too high or low.This journey is more than just showing people how physically difficult this walk is. “I want them to understand what it looks like to be diabetic and constantly checking and making sure that you’re eating the right things,” she said, adding that “just something as simple as stress can raise your blood sugar.”Sheneman was told by health professionals to do something simple, like walking every day. However, Sheneman, who grew up backpacking, wanted to test the limits of what was possible. “I think it’s important to understand that being a diabetic is not necessarily limiting you,” she said. “There’s just the most difficult part that you have to get over.”8. Why did Sheneman start the art projectA.To raise people’s awareness of diabetes. B.To raise money for all the diabetics.C.To advertise for her hometown. D.To get sympathy for herself.9. What should Sheneman pay special attention to during the journey A.The reactions and concerns of others. B.The app connected to the Dexcom G6.C.The variation of her glucose levels. D.The physical difficulty the walk causes.10. Which of the following best describes the life of a diabetic like ShenemanA.Colorful. B.Cautious.C.Artistic. D.Adventurous.11. What message does Sheneman seem to convey in the last paragraph A.Sport helps gain confidence in fighting diseases.B.We don’t have to follow the doctor’s advice.C.Nothing can stop one achieving their goals.D.Our path in life will not always be smooth.二、七选五阅读We know that choosing a college major can be very tough. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. Here’s what you need to know about college majors before you choose.What is a major12 Beyond general college requirements, you’ll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry, Literature, or Political Science.How important is my majorThe major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Many graduates find jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied in college. If you intend to earn a professional degree after college, you will probably need certain courses. 13 .When do I choose a majorThis varies widely across schools and programs. 14 . Others require that you decide upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.15Definitely. One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and arouses new passions. However,keep this in mind: every major has necessary coursework. If you change your major late in the game, it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.What are minors and double majorsIf one field of study doesn’t satisfy your intellectual appetite, consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration. 16 A double major provides you with an understanding or two academic fields. It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements.A.Can I change my mindB.Is my major time-consumingC.It’s your specialized area of study in college.D.Most students find one major is more than enough.E.Some schools may give you one year or more to decide.F.The only difference is that it doesn’t require as many classes. G.Many future science doctors major in non-science related fields.三、完形填空The year 2020 was a hard year. So many people thought of ideas to bring 17 to themselves or to others.Kimberly Wybenga was one of them. To cheer up her friends, she 18 10 small boxes and wrote out praises for 10 friends. Just 19 this brought herjoy so she bought 20 more boxes to spread the love even 20 ."I know everyone is 21 some kind of struggle and I just thought it would be nice to support them anyway I could," Wybenga said, " 22 I didn't know what they were going through."The 38-year-old tried to send her boxes of hope anonymously(匿名地), 23 "a friend" on the bottom of each card. She mailed some packages and sent others to the doorsteps of those who were 24 to her home secretly. In order not to be 25 , she even dressed up herself in black and wore a mask so if people had 26 on doors, they wouldn't know it was her.All the effort to remain anonymous didn't 27 much of the time because Wybenga's 28 was recognized by some friends.

Glad to see that the changes of another year have permitted you to move in health through this beautiful world."Each time the Old Gentleman had said exactly this same thin? It was part of the tradition.Pete, too, began to feel as though he himself was now a part of the tradition, and he therefore did not have the courage to tell the old man that he had already eaten.This dinner seemed to mean so much to the Old Gentleman."Than k you, sir, " said Pete at last. “I’ll go with you gladly. I’m very hungry, sir.〞Together the Old Gentleman and Pete walked south to the same restaurant where each year Pete had his Thanksgiving dinner. The Old Gentleman seemed pleased and happy. When the waiter brought dish after dish of food to Pete, the Old Gentlenman sat quietly and smiled.Under the circumstances, Pete had to eat.It was part of the tradition, and so he ate like a hero, although when he entered the restaurant even the smell of food almost made him sick.At last Pete leaned back with the battle won." Thank you, sir, " he said, with some effort, " for a fine dinner."They parted as they did each year at the door, the Old Gentlemen going south, Pete north.Around the corner, Pete stopped for a moment, felt a terrible pain in his stomach, and then fell to the sidewalk unconscious.A little time later an ambulance came.In the hospital they discovered that he had had an attack of indigestion 〔消化不良〕.An hour later, another ambulance brought the Old Gentleman to the same hospital.At first they thought it was also indigestion but later one of the nurses said, "That nice old gentleman over there—you wouldn't think that it was a case of hunger."40.Where did Pete and the Old Gentleman meet every Thanksgiving Day?A.In the restaurant.B.In Union Square.C.At the Old Gentleman's house.D.At the hospital.41.Which of the following sentences in the passage doesn't show Pete was full?A.Pete sat on the bench now, hardly able to move.B.The buttons on his ragged shirt and coat were about to burst.C.Glad to see that the changes of another year have permitted you to move in health through this beautiful world.D.When he entered the restaurant even the smell of food almost made him sick.42.The underlined sentence "I'm very hungry, sir." in Paragraph 5 implies that .A.Pete didn't have the heart to refuse the offerB.Pete was so greedy that he wanted to have another dinnerC.Pete was suffering from hungerD.Pete enjoyed having the Thanksgiving dinner for free43.Which of the following words can best describe the Old Gentleman?A.Self-centred.

Tabor and his wife,Elizabeth McCourt, better known as ―Baby Doe‖. Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West.Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher in Vermont. Then he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. ―Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here.‖ he said.As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville’s fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. It was his custom to ―grubstake‖ pr ospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or ―grub‖, while they looked for ore(矿石), in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for ―grub‖. Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent, however, and Tabor was too bus y to argue with them. ―Oh help yourself. One more time won’t make any difference,‖ He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountain side and began to dig. After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the ―Pittsburgh Mine,‖ ma de $1,300,000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment.Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117,000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $35,000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became lieutenant governor of the state.36. Leadville got its name for the following reasons EXCEPT that________.A. Tabor became its leading citizenB. great deposits of lead is expected to be found thereC. it could bring good fortune to TaborD. it was renamed37. The underlined word ―grubstake‖ in Paragraph 3 means________A. to supply miners with food and suppliesB. to open a general storeC. to do one’s contribution to the development of the mineD. to supply miners with food and supplies and in return get a share in the mine, if one was discovered.38. We can infer that Tabor’s life career is ________A. purely luckyB. based on his managing theory of ―grubstake‖C. through the help from his wifeD. because he planned well and accomplished targets step by step39. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Tabor’s Life.B. A legend of the Old WestC. Lead Makes Leadville’s FortuneD. The Best InvestmentBPupils remember more and behave better when 3D images are usedin lessons, research suggests. They are quicker to learn and absorb newconcepts, and display higher levels of concentration.Professor Anne Bamford, of the University of the Arts, London,studied the effectiveness of 3D content in 15 schools across sevencountries, including the UK. Pupils in 3D classes could remember more than those in the 2D classes after four weeks, improving test scores by an average 17 percent compared with eight percent for 2D lessons. They gave more detailed answers to the tasks and were more likely to think in 3D, using hand gestures and mime (模仿动作) to answer the test questions successfully.The teachers commented that the pupils in the 3D groups haddeeper understanding, increased attention span, more motivation andhigher engagement in the lessons.Children are used to 3D with the rise of computer games that use thetechnology—90 percent of those in the study had seen a 3D film.Schools would need 3D-enabled projectors(投影仪), laptops with goodpicture capabilities, 3D software and glasses for children to introduceanimations (动作) into classrooms.But Danny Nicholson, an educationist, said the technology would be impractical to use in schools and could be costly. He said, ―While I think the idea of 3D technology is very interesting, I worry that 3D is a bit of an expensive gimmick (小玩意儿). There are a few cases where a true 3D image might help, but most of the time, good 2D models that can be moved , would be just so effective.‖In Colorado, the US, one school district is already in the process of having 1,000 3D projectors fixed in classrooms. And the University of Caledonia, which carries out scientific research into the Lake Tabon Basin, has used 3D presentations with Grade Six pupils. Those who watched the 3D presentations were more engaged and reported a general increase in their interest in science compared with students who watched the 2D version.40. Danny Nicholson tends to think that .A. many pupils prefer 2D modelsB. 3D is a bit expensive for some schoolsC. true 3D images would not help in classesD. 3D technology has a bright future in classes41. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. 3D classes will soon be given in one school district in Colorado.B. Teachers will use the 3D technology through specific training.C. Many pupils are now more interested in science than before.D. 3D technology will replace 2D models in the future.42. What is the text mainly about?A. 2D models are always more effective than 3D images.B. The differences between 3D and 2D images.C. How schools can make full use of 3D technology.D. Pupils behave better when 3D images are used in classes.CNorthern Lights TourLocated in the middle of the northern lights belt, Tromso can offer some of the highest levels of northern lights activity on earth. Perhaps Tromso is the world's best place for a Northern Lights Tour.Join one of our Northern Lights Holidays this winter. It could become one of the greatest experiences in your life.DESTINATION Troms county, Norway.PRICE $450 per personWHEN 2th September until 31st March.PICK-UP Each evening at 6 PM pitside your hotel.DROP-OFF Earliest at 12 AM. When we have a sighting we often stay out later, at no extra cost.SIZE OF GROUP Maximum 8 participants is recommended and normal, but not absolute. A small group allows more freedom in terms of chasing the northern lights.INCLUDED- Transportation each day in a comfortable car- A meal each day- All necessary equipment such as snowshoes, flashlight, water-filled bottle, woolen underwear, a war, hat, warm shoes, warm stockings, and reindeer skin to lie on, if needed.- A guide who will do anything necessary to find the northern lights.EXCITING CHASEA Northern Lights Holiday means an intense and exciting chase – to the coast or deep into the wild, perhaps even to the Finnish border. Each day on a Northern Lights Tour we contact meteorologists shortly before departure to get accurate information. In order to find out where we will have best chances to see the northern lights.WE GUARANTEE A GREA T TRIPThe northern lights are unpredictable, but we guarantee that we will do everything to find it. Patience is a keyword on Northern Lights Tour.ECO-TOURISMWe offer ecologically sustainable and responsible tours. Travelling in small groups is an essential part of the ecotourism concept, as small groups have lesser impact on nature and will not disturb the wildlife unnecessarily.43. A small group is preferred for the following reasons EXCEPT that _______.A. a small group is free to run after the northern lightsB. a small group has less effect on natureC. a small group can save the travel costD. a small group will not disturb wildlife44. The underlined word ―it‖ refers to ―________‖.A. the northern lights tourB. patienceC. equipmentD. the northern light45. We can infer that ________.A. if tourists stay out late, they have to pay moreB. every tourist group is not sure to see the northern lightsC. every tourist group get the money back if they don’t see the northern lightsD. the northern lights can be seen every day from 20th September to 31st March46. The passage is most likely to be taken from a(n) ________.A. advertisementB. news reportC. science textbookD. tourist brochureDIn the case of mobile phones, change is everything. Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.First, let's talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a landline goes to a place. If you call my mobile, you get me. If you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.This has several implications(含义). The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture f orever, is the ―meeting‖ influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now,however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer ―see you there at 8‖,but "text me around 8 and we'll see where we all are."Texting changes people as well. In their paper, ―Insights into the Social and Psycho logical Effects of SMS Text Messaging", two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the ―talkers‖ and the ―texters‖-those who prefer voice to text messages and those who prefer text to voice.They found that the mobile phone's individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the ―speakeasy‖: the he ad is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the ―spacemaker‖: these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera- phones intrude(侵入)on people's privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn't worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.47. According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological effects are mostly likely to be seen on ________.A. talkersB. the ―speakeasy‖C. the ―spacemaker‖D. texters48. We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters are________.A. quite revealingB. well writtenC. unacceptable by othersD. shocking to others49. According to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?A. TalkersB. The ―speakeasy‖C. The ―spacemaker‖D. Texters50. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. The SMS EffectB. Cultural Implications of Mobile Phone UseC. Changes in the Use of the MobileD. Body Language and the Mobile Phone四、任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)Scientists, doctors and mental health professionals have been studying the connection between colors and mood for years. Many now believe that colors can not only bring about emotional reactions, but can also correct mood. Colors behave in three basic ways: active, passive and neutral (中和的).Active colors are warm colors, including yellow, orange and red. These colors bring confidence. Warm colors can also bring cheerful attitudes. Yellows and golden colors work well in offices, kitchens and study areas. Reds heat up a room. Passive colors or cool colors make people calm, quiet and satisfied. Bedrooms, private areas and bathrooms are great places for blues and greens. Beige, gray and white are thought of as neutral colors. They help to put the focus on other colors or serve to tone down colors that might otherwise be overpowering on their own.You can easily change the look or feel of a room by making good use of different colors. Mixing and matching colors is an excellent way to balance color and emotion, and provide a welcoming feel for guests.To create a feeling of warmth and comfort in a room, use bright, warm colors like yellow, orange and red. These colors are good choices for rooms that appear cool due to limited sunlight. Yellow adds cheerfulness to dull rooms. You can add yellows to rooms which are not closely related to happy thoughts, such as kitchens and laundry room. In rooms where there's plenty of sunshine, cool colors can provide a calming environment. Sage greens and sky blues are perfect for bedrooms, playrooms and activity areas. Neutral colors, such as pale gray, white and beige, send a peaceful message to your brain. It's not a coincidence that most doctor's offices, coffee shops and mental health centers are decorated in neutrals.To make your wall color choices better, pick out furniture that will provide a visual contrast.

that trash takes to disintegrate in seawater is often a challenge,because it’s difficult to date plastic pieces with unknown origin.But it’s fairly easy to identify a piece of Lego by its distinct shape,says Andrew Turner,an environmental scientist.And because the chemical additives used to make Lego have changed over time,the composition of each brick contains clues about when it was made.Turner and his colleagues measured the chemical compositions of washed-up Lego bricks,which had been collected by beach cleanup volunteers in Cornwall,England,ing the blocks’chemical fingerprints,the team identified the bricks manufactured around the1970s.One key chemical indicator was cadmium(镉),used to produce bright yellow and red colours from the early1970s until the early1980s.The researchers assume these Lego were lost to sea around the time of their purchase.To examine how worn down the Lego got during30to40years at sea--due to factors like exposure to sunlight--the researchers matched weathered Lego with new versions of the same bricks kept in collections.Across14pairs of matching Lego,the weathered versions had3to 40percent less mass than the new versions.Based on those measurements,it would take an estimated100to1300years to completely break down a single Lego brick.Prior research has shown that plastic water bottles take decades to break down in the ocean.But since many plastic components used to make electronics and other consumer products are closer in thickness and hardness to Lego bricks than water bottles,Turner suspects that their suveral-hundred-year timescale may be more representative of plastic degradation in seawater.11.What does the underlined word“disintegrate”in the2nd paragraph mean?A.Stay safe.B.Get noticed.C.Break down.D.Change form.12.Where did the weathered Lego used in the research come from?A.The ocean.B.Lego collectors.C.Some purchasers.D.Lego manufactures.13.What did the researcher focus on when comparing the matching Lego?A.Their cadmium content.B.Their exposure to the sun.C.heir chemical composition.D.Their weight of physical matter.14.Why does Turner think the timescale of Lego is more representative of plastic degradation?A.Lego’s popularity in modern households.B.Lego’s similarities to many consumer products.C.Lego’s distinct shape among other plastic pieces.D.Lego’s identifiable manufacture dates.BLike most of us,I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste.The arugula(芝麻菜)was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner.But I ended up working late.Then friends called with a dinner invitation.I stuck the chicken in the freezer.But as days passed,the arugula went bad.Even worse,I had unthinkingly bought way too much;I could have made six salads with what I threw out.In a world where nearly800million people a year go hungry,“food waste goes against the moral grain,”as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month's cover story.It’s jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away—from“ugly”(but quite eatable)vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.Producing food that no one eats wastes the water,fuel,and other resources used to grow it.That makes food waste an environmental problem.In fact,Royte writes,“if food waste were a country,it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”If that's hard to understand,let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator.Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time—but for him,it’s more like12bones of donated strawberries nearing their last days.Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington,D.C.,which recovers food and turns it into healthy st year it recovered more than807,500pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished(有瑕疵的)produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields.And the strawberries?Volunteers will wash,cut,and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.Such methods seem obvious,yet so often we just don't think.“Everyone can play a part in reducing waste,whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won’t eat,”Curtin says.15.What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story?A.We pay little attention to food waste.B.We waste food unintentionally at times.C.We waste more vegetables than meat.D.We have good reasons for wasting food.16.What is a consequence of food waste according to the test?A.Moral decline.B.Environmental harm.C.Energy shortage.D.Worldwide starvation.17.What does Curtin's company do?A.It produces kitchen equipment.B.It turns rotten arugula into clean fuel.C.It helps local farmers grow fruitsD.It makes meals out of unwanted food.18.What does Curtin suggest people do?A.Buy only what is needed.B.Reduce food consumption.C.Go shopping once a week.D.Eat in restaurants less often.参考答案一、单句语法填空:1.urgency此题中的a sense of urgency意为“紧迫感”。

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

限时训练3完形填空I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, 36 to look at each other. But we soon lost the 37 and started playing with each other. In the 7th grade, I first lost touch with her. She was 38 family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people”. 39 of my new friends like her as much as I did 40 they knew she had “problems”. However, every summer we would 41 sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas and talk about everything we liked.It was last year when I 42 the problem. I guessed I was just too busy to catch up in high school to realize she 43 someone there for her. Well, she made a new “best friend” and so did I. Then I didn’t know why, but she started cutting herself!She was diagnosed with clinical depression(抑郁症. I was very 44 at first, but with the late night calls, we still stayed in 45 . I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend 46 deserted her, since people were calling her 47 , and I knew I still 48 her like a sister.Yesterday she came 49 me and said this, “I never knew what a best friend was 50 you were the only person that would stop me from cutting; the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my 51 . You don’t know this but I was trying to kill myself one night when you 52 me and I was crying. I 53 you so much, and you didn’t even know you were 54 me.”We both cried.

This employee needs no lunch hours or holidays. Working 24 hours a day is no problem. Best of all, he or she is both accurate and efficient. There are few mistakes and tasks are finished quickly.Any manufacturer would want a worker like this in a factory. Many more products could be made and sold if workers never stopped. That’s why there are more and more robots at work today. Robots do a wide variety of tasks. They weld (焊接), drill, and paint new cars. They locate underwater pollution sites. Robots handle poisons. Most of their work is too dangerous, difficult, or unpleasant for people to do. Bydoing the dirty work, a robot is a worker’s helper, or aide.Few robots look anything like people. They are machine.

Worry can keep you awake, tossing and turning in bed until the early hours of the morning when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up, you don’t feel refreshed, but tired and worn out and unable to face a new day.Dr. Henry Winkle, in a recent newspaper article entitled Stress and Sleep, indicates that . Dr. Winkle says, “The more we worry, the less we sleep, the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good night’s sleep,” he adds, “we can often find the energy to deal with what’s worrying us.”So, what is a good night’s sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours in about the average amount, though strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awake. “When you put the light out,” Dr. Winkle says, “concen trate on relaxing your muscles, working slowly up from your feet, and you’ll be asleep before you know it.”1.
