So, whether you are suffering from workout pains or back pains, a little humor can be very helpful in getting ridof that hurt feeling. The boosted immune system that is also released through laughter is another strong benefit of a good laugh.

It can be inferred from the text that if one is feeling anxious, laughing _________.A) would help prevent physical pain.B) might only help the mind believe things are worse.C) would decrease a person’s stress levels.D) would release no chemicals which would benefit the body.20. This passage shows that humor is beneficial because it may help us with _________.A) convincing ourselves that we are weaker than we believe.B) making small problems feel worse than they really are.C) decreasing the amount of humor we have in our daily lives.D) reducing the stress felt in a normal situation by a moderate amount.Part IV Translation (15 points)Section ADirections: Translate the following sentences into English.21. 她不仅会唱歌,还会跳舞。

人教版广东全部城市高考专题英语高考模拟1.阅读理解第1题.For years, I played around with writing. I wrote when I felt like it. Then one day, a friend asked what my dream was. When I said it was to be a writer, he said these words that changed my life, "You don't have to want to be a writer. You are a writer; you just need to write." So I started calling myself a writer. Everywhere I went, I introduced myself as "Jeff Goins, Writer," and even put it in email signatures and on my Facebook page. And you know what? I started acting like it. Eventually, I even began to believe it. It turns out that sometimes you do have to fake it before you make it.The lesson here is simple: If you wait for someone to give you permission to start following your dream, you'll be waiting for a long time. You have to begin before you think you're ready.After I decided to follow my dream, I still had to find the time to do it. Working a full-time job and having a wife and other things to do, I didn't have unlimited free time. I had to find time to write. For me, that meant getting up early. Like, 5:00 a.m. early. Every morning, I would wake up, get my coffee, and write for two hours. At first, this was difficult; I had to force myself out of bed and downstairs before the sun rose. But eventually, it became a habit. I did it without even thinking about it. And soon, writing became a daily joy.By doing this, I learned the excuse I had given myself—"I don't have enough time"—wasn't true. I did have enough time; it was just hiding in "inconvenient" places.These days, most people I meet are talking about their dreams. However, they're doing it all wrong. They think they need to take a huge leap out into the unknown when, in fact, the opposite is true. So if you have a dream, just take action. And don't say you don't have time for it.(1)What does the author's friend suggest he do?A: Start to cheat himself.B: Dream of becoming a writer.C: Consider himself as a real writer.D: Take a writing lesson to be a writer.(2)How did the author find time for writing?A: By working part-time.B: By doing few other things.C: By reducing his sleeping time.D: By making good use of his free time.(3)What does the author mean by saying "the opposite is true"?A: We should prepare for our dreams.B: We should take small steps over time.C: We should make time for our dreams.D: We should take immediate action.(4)What's most probably the author's purpose in telling his life story? A: To help us know better about him.B: To tell us how to become a successful writer.C: To explain why many people like dreaming.D: To tell us how to make our dreams come true.【答案】CCBD【解答】(1)C 细节理解题。

ACustomized STEM Study Trips for High School GroupsOn our science-based study tours and STEM field trips,the planet becomes the living classroom for high school groups with as few as10participating students.We have over50 years of experience in designing student STEM trips around the globe for all science related subjects-everything from Astronomy to Zoology!You can select from a number of topical areas to add to your curriculum and maximize student learning including,but not limited to: Earth Sciences&Geology TripsParticipate in problem-solving workshops on topics like vectors,exponentials or calculus in physics.Tour the facility at CERN,site of the world’s largest particle physics laboratory.Start a geological adventure through Iceland,the land of fire and ice,or explore the alpine landscapes, mountaintops and glaciers of Switzerland.Life Sciences&Biodiversity TripsOur life sciences and biodiversity programs offer a window into the fascinating worlds of biology,zoology,botany,ecology and many others.Explore the interdependence of various species and their impact on one another in the rainforest of Bolivia.Consider changes in geography,habitat,atmosphere,and how life forms have adapted…or not!Mathematics&Technology TripsUncover the significant impact of mathematics and technology on human life in our developing world.Understand how a storm surge barrier works and how countries like the Netherlands use wind turbines to power all of their electric trains.Learn what goes into making and breaking codes like those used in World War II.Green Engineering TripsLearn the basic function of photovoltaic(光电的)cells and how they form together to make solar panels.Investigate how various factors like temperature and angle impact the performance of solar panels,and take on the role of an engineer and develop the optimal solar panel array for a given geographic location.We can also customize STEM trips based on your interests and needs.Please contact us at 800-522-2398or email us today at****************************************to discuss other academic themes you are interested in pursuing.21.What can students do on Earth Sciences&Geology Trips?A.Design training workshops.B.Do an experiment on fire and ice.C.Visit a physics laboratory.D.Explore glaciers of the North Pole.22.Which trips can you take if you enjoy exploring rain forests?A.Earth Sciences&Geology TripsB.Life Sciences&Biodiversity TripsC.Green Engineering TripsD.Mathematics&Technology Trips23.Who is the text intended for?A.Travel agencies.B.Holidaymakers.C.Environmentalists.D.High school students.BKing Canute couldn’t stop the ocean’s tide from rolling in—can Africa hold back the desert?That’s certainly what th ntinent is trying to do with its proposed“Great Green Wall”, 8,000km worth of trees that officials hope will stop the advancement of the Sahara desert,which has been rapidly expanding southward.The project aims to plant100million hectares of trees by2030across the entire width of Africa.The initiative is a decade in,and around15%completed,and there have already been benefits for many communities and wildlife.It’s bringing life back to the continent’s degraded landscapes,providing not only food security and jobs but a reason to stay for the millions who live along its path.Efforts will be concentrated along the Sahel,a region in Africa that lies between the Sahara in the north and the more tropical savanna in the south.Burkina Faso,Cameroon,Chad,The Gambia,Guinea Mauritania,Mali,Niger,Nigeria,and Senegal all form the Sahel region,where there are up to50million people who still live as nomads(游牧民),depending on cattle to sustain their livelihoods.It’s one of the poorest places on the planet:a region of hunger,conflict, and low job prospects,made even harder by the ongoing drought.At a science conference held in December,experts estimated that the wall could have far-reaching influence on weather patterns.Climate models presented at the American Geophysical Union’s autumn conference forecast that the finished wall could increase rainfall fourfold in the Sahel and lower average summer temperatures over most of northern Africa. However,the hottest sections of the desert may become even hotter,increasing by up to1.5°C.The wall may seem like a moonshot,but all the best ideas usually are.As Thomas Sankara, former president of Burkina Faso said in1985,“You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain degree of madness...The courage to turn your back on the traditional methods, the courage to invent the future.”24.What’s the purpose of the“Great Green Wall”?A.To protect the original landscapes.B.To bring more wildlife to this region.C.To increase the varieties of local plants.D.To stop the Sahara desert from expanding.25.What can we know about the Sahel region?A.It is in the centre of the Sahara.B.It is home to50million cattle.C.It provides a lot of job opportunities.D.It consists of many poor countries.26.What impact would the wall have on weather patterns?A.Free of drought in Africa.B.More rainfall in the Sahel.C.Lower temperatures all year round.D.Cooler weather in the hottest areas.27.What is the author’s attitude to the project?A.Favorable.B.Uncaring.C.Critical.D.Ambiguous.CThe earliest discovered cave paintings date back to the Upper Paleolithic(旧石器)period. We might expect that they would be sim l made,but the cave paintings of Spain and southern France show a high degree of skill.So do the cave paintings in southern Africa.Some of those appear to have been painted as much as28,000years ago,w ich suggests that painting in Africa is as old as painting in Europe.The early Australians may have painted on the walls of rock shelters at least30,000years ago.The researchers identified three principal locations of paintings in the caves of western Europe:in obviously inhabited rock shelters and cave entrances;in galleries near the inhabited areas of caves;and in the inner reaches of caves,whose difficulty of access has been interpreted as a sign that magical-religious activities were performed there.The subjects of the paintings are mostly animals.The paintings rest on bare walls,with no decoration.Perhaps,like many contemporary peoples,Upper Paleolithic men believed that the drawing of a human image could cause death or injury,and if that were their belief,it might explain why human figures are rarely found in cave art.Another explanation for the focus on animals might be that these people sought to improve their luck at hunting.The particular symbolic significance of the cave paintings in southwestern France is more clearly revealed by the results of a study.The data suggest that the animals in the cave paintings were mostly the ones that the painters preferred for meat.For example,wild cattle and horses are found more often than we would expect by chance,probably because they were larger and heavier(meatier)than other animals in the environment.In addition,the paintings mostly draw animals that the painters may have feared the most because of their size,speed,natural weapons such as horns.That is,mammoths(猛犸)are drawn more often than deer.28.What do we know about cave painting in Europe?A.It is as much as28,000years old.B.It is much more than30,000years old.C.It is much older than painting in Australia.D.It is older than painting in southern Africa.29.What makes people think certain paintings were connected with magical-religious activities?A.The paintings were in cave entrances.B.The paintings were in hard-to-reach places.C.The paintings were obviously more attractive.D.The paintings were similar to those in galleries.30.Why are human figures rarely found in the cave painting?A.Human figures could improve their hunting luck.B.Human figures were too difficult to draw at that time.C.The drawings of human figures were believed to cause death.D.The drawings of human figures differ from those of contemporary people.31.Which best represents hunters’attitude to deer in the Upper Paleolithic period?A.Hunters did not fear deer as much as mammoths.B.Hunters didn’t hunt deer because of their size and speed.C.Hunters avoided deer because of their natural weapons.D.Hunters preferred deer’s meat to those of other animals.DAdults are often embarrassed about asking for aid.It’s an act that can make people feel vulnerable.The moment you ask for directions,you reveal that you are lost.Seeking assistance can feel like you are broadcasting your incompetence.New research suggests young children don’t seek help in school,even when they need it, for the same reason.It has revealed that youngsters as young as age five care deeply about the way others think about them.To learn more about how children think about reputation,we asked576children,ages four to nine,to predict the behavior of two characters in a story.One of the characters genuinely wanted to be smart,and the other merely wanted to seem smart to others.In the study,we told children that both characters did poorly on a test.We then asked which of these characters would be more likely to raise their hand in front of their class to ask the teacher for help.The four-year-olds were equally likely to choose either of the two characters as the one who would seek help.But by age seven or eight,children thought that the character who wanted to seem smart would be less likely to ask for assistance.And children’s expectations were truly “reputational”in nature—they were specifically thinking about how the characters would act in front of peers.When assistance could be sought privately(on a computer rather than in person), children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it.When children themselves are the ones struggling,it seems quite possible they,too,might avoid seeking out help when others are present,given our findings.Their unwillingness could seriously slow academic progress.Such reputational barriers likely require reputation-based solutions.Teachers could give children more opportunities to ask help privately by making themselves available to students for one-on-one conversations.Teachers should help students consider asking questions in front of others as normal,positive behavior.Parents could point out how a child’s question kicked off a valuable conversation in which the entire family got to talk and learn together.Adults could praise kids for seeking help.These responses send a strong signal that other people value a willingness to ask for aid and that seeking help is part of a path to success.32.What does the underlined word“vulnerable”in paragraph1probably mean?A.Helpful.zy.C.Weak.D.Lost.33.Why are children unwilling to ask for help in front of others?A.They care about their reputation.B.They want to learn from the adults.C.They worry about others’emotions.D.They can solve the problem independently.34.What are children asked to do in the study?A.To pretend to be smart.B.To find out which character is smarter.C.To choose a character they like.D.To predict who would ask for help publicly.35.Which of the following can be a way to solve reputational barriers?A.Parents keep asking kids more questions.B.Teachers discourage asking for help privately.C.Adults consider asking questions publicly worthwhile.D.Teachers reduce one-on-one conversations with students.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

人教版广东广州高考专题英语高考模拟1.阅读理解第1题.Wolves use many different types of communication. One way they communicate is through sound. The howl(嗥叫)is a well-known method wolves use to communicate with each other. While howling, wolves often change their voices a lot. As a result, people are sometime "fooled" into believing that there are more wolves than there really are. People have often guessed, after listening to howls, that a pack(群)of wolves contained up to 20 individuals, when there were only 3 or 4. Some people have thought that wolves do that on purpose, in order to fool neighboring packs into believing that there are more animals present than there really are. However, many naturalists and wolf biologists do not accept that idea.Wolves seem to howl for many reasons. They often howl before they go on a hunt, possibly to get the pack together, and they often begin to howl after a successful hunt. That suggests that howling serves to bring a pack together, since wolves often become separated from each other during a hunt. They do not, however, howl while they are hunting. In addition, a wolf may howl alone if having, trouble locating its pack. Surprisingly, pack members seem to recognize each others voices, since individual wolves often have their own way of howling. Wolves will also howl in sadness after the death of their mates.Wolf packs may also howl to communicate with other packs, as two different wolf packs will sometimes answer each others howls. Wolves will also often answer the calls of humans who are pretending to howl like wolves.Wolves howl less often during May and June than they do during the rest of the year. This may be because that is the time that packs are most likely to have young pups(幼崽)present. It is possible that wolf packs who have young pups present often keep silent so they do not attract attention to their location, since pups can be easily hurt by predators(捕食性动物)like bears.(1)People argued about ________.A: how wolves howlB: why wolves howlC: when wolves howlD: where wolves howl(2)Wolves howl in order to ________.A: fool peopleB: fool neighboring packsC: convey different messagesD: make the pack sound stronger(3)Wolves don't howl often in early summer because ________.A: they don't howl when it's hotB: they have to save their energyC: they don't have enough food to eatD: they need to protect the young ones(4)We can learn from the text that ________.A: wolves don't answer humans' callB: a wolf pack consists of about 20 wolvesC: wolves always stay together when huntingD: different wolves have different ways of howling【答案】BCDD【解答】(1)B 推理判断题。

人教版广东全部城市高考专题英语高考模拟试卷及解析

人教版广东全部城市高考专题英语高考模拟1.阅读理解第1题.One of the more memorable teachers I had in high school was not a teacher by trade. He was an employee of a local nuclear power plant who'd been called to fill in when, at the start of my senior year, our physics teacher abruptly quit. The guy looked like Ned Flanders(a fictional character in the television series The Simpsons), which was funny because when we heard we'd have a substitute, my friend Ben randomly commented, "Watch, he's going to look just like Ned Flanders." That was a memorable thing.Physics was not for me. It was a fairly challenging subject—I was already shaky in mathematical confidence—and the lectures made it more so. I really tried. But I just did not get it. I wasn't even sure what exactly we were studying. It just seemed hard.I'm sure Nuclear Ned Flanders, as he became known, was great at running power plants, but, objectively speaking, he was not a very good teacher. I eventually dropped the class, and then avoided the sciences for all of college.But the funny thing is, I'm actually thankful things turned out this way. It means that as I step stealthily into midlife, there is a whole world of truly interesting study I'm just discovering. Physics, it turns out, includes the study of things like space, time, and how the entire universe works. It simply does not get a whole lot more interesting than that! And I appreciate wrestling withbig, abstract ideas now. If I considered myself schooled, I'm not sure I would have felt like I had to return to those concepts at this point. I'm so glad I have.The point of my story is obvious: that every single person who stands at the front of a classroom matters. A ton.(1)Why did the author have a deep first impression of the substitute teacher?A: He was a nuclear expert.B: He behaved like Ned Flanders.C: A coincidence happened around his arrival.D: There was a similarity between him and Ben.(2)What can we learn about the author's academic performance at high school?A: He quit maths finally.B: He struggled with physics.C: He was a hopeless student.D: He preferred physics to maths.(3)What happened when the author reached middle age?A: He became a scientist.B: He fell in love with physics.C: He forgave Nuclear Ned Flanders.D: He began to home-school himself.(4)What would be the best title for the text?A: Things that matterB: My favorite teacherC: The man who raised me upD: A memorable physics lesson【答案】CBBA【解答】(1)C 细节理解题。

AFree Community SwapContact:Catherine Crawford, (718)809-1603Jon Klar, (646)530-0381New Yorkers looking to reduce, reuse, and save money this year are invited to participate in Stop ‘N’ Swap, a free community event organized by local nonprofit GrowNYC.The average NYC household throws away about 2,000 pounds of waste a year. By reusing through events like Stop ’N’ Swap, NYC residents can take part in saving over 40 million pounds of material from landfill every year. Take a break from shopping, support a cleaner future, and join the ever -growing reuse community!WHAT: Free Stop ‘N’ Swap Community Reuse EventWHEN: February 19th, 12pm-3pmWHERE: Bronx Works Classic Community Center—286 East 156th Street, Bronx, NY 10451 The public is invited to bring clean and reusable items. No one is required to bring something to take something—you can simply show up with a bag and see what’s free for the taking. Books, toys, clothing, and electronics are just some of the offerings. Furniture and other large items are not accepted at the swap. Anything leftover at the end of the day is donated or recycled.Stop ‘N’ Swaps have developed a regular following among environmentally conscious New Yorkers. After almost two years without swaps, GrowNYC has set a goal of hosting one swap in each of the city’s 59 communitydistricts each year, providing opportunities to make NYC truly livable—a place where every person can enjoy a healthier life.21.What should you do to get more information from Catherine?A.Call (646)530-0381.B.Call (718)809-1603.C..D.Visit 286 East 156th Street, Bronx.22.What items are unacceptable at the Stop ‘N’ Swap?A.Dry-as-dust books.B.Old-fashioned clothes.C.Out-of-date electronics.D.Second-hand furniture.23.What is the aim of GrowNYC’s Stop ‘N’ Swaps?A.To make NYC a better place to live.B.To enrich New Yorkers’ community life.C.To reduce the cost of dealing with waste in NYC.D.To encourage districts to compete in sustainability.BAt first look, the playground at the Children’s Guild-Transformation Academy in Baltimore, Maryland, looks like any other. It has swings, slides, and places for children to climb and crawl. But the playground is not just a place for fun. It is also a place where students can learn, grow and gain independence. Everything—from the kind of surface it sits on, to the color of its sitting areas, to the placement of the surrounding fence—is specifically designed for kids with autism(自闭症).Mark Rapaport is the managing director of autism services at the Transformation Academy. He said the school accepts students aged 5 to 21 with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and are lower functioning.Rapaport said the goal of Transformation Academy is to make the students as independent as possible in an effort to help them prepare for adult life. The school aims to provide help with developing communication and social skills, as well as practical abilities like cleaning or cooking.The playground designed by Maryland company rks@Play, using structures manufactured by Landscape Structures, Inc., took a month to develop, said Dan Hack. He works for rks@Play and helped lead the playground’s design. Hack said he and others spent weeks getting to know the students and understanding their needs before any building was started. The design process involved physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other specialists. The huge $500,000 project was funded with support from the state of Maryland and the nonprofit Orokawa Foundation.Parts of the playground that seem small are very important for children with autism and other disabilities. The surrounding fence extends into a wooded area to make it seem more open. And the ground under the play areas is made of soft, but solid materials to support students using wheelchairsor crutches. The benches on the outside of the playground look simple from far away, but are “one of our most inclusive sensory” elements, Hack said. They have many different colors that bring about feelings of calm and curiosity. They are also made with smooth material that can be felt and moved. The academy’s Rapaport said if a child starts to feel uneasy, they can sit down and feel the bench, which can help them relax.24.Why is the playground in Baltimore designed with special materials?A.To make it superior to other playgrounds.B.To better serve children with autism.C.To improve the quality of the playground.D.To make it easier for kids to climb and crawl.25.What can we learn from the playground project?A.It took a month to complete the project.B.The design process is simple and easy.C.The result of the project is uncertain.D.It’s a money-consuming project.26.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The scale and the structure of the playground.B.Ways for kids to free from the stress and relax themselves.C.The underlying logic and reasonable factors of the playground.D.The advantages of the playground for autism and disabled kids.27.Which best describes the playground in Baltimore?A.Advanced.B.Environmental-friendly.C.Functional.D.Convenient.CNew findings suggest that when it comes to learning, the snake may be quite a bit like humans. David Holtzman, a scientist at the University of Rochester, has found that snakes have a much greater capacity for learning than earlier studies had indicated.Holtzman’s study challenged 24 snakes to escape from a black plastic container the size of a child’s pool. Cards mounted on the container’s walls and tape on its floor provided the snakes with visual and touchable signals to find their goal: holes in the container’s bottom that offer a dark, comfortable spot to hide.Simply falling into a hole isn’t the only proof that the snakes are learning something, though. “Speed to find that goal is one of the measures which shows they’re learning,” Holtzman says. “On average, they take over 700 seconds to find the correct hole on the first day of training, and then go down to about 400 seconds by the fourth day of training. Some are actually very fast and find it in less than 30 seconds.”Studies dating back to the 1950s interpreted snakes’ awkwardness with mazes(迷宫) as a poorreflection on their intelligence. “Early attempts to study snake intelligence were problematic because the studies used mazes as testing arenas(场地)——as though snakes might be expected to run through mazes in the same way mice run through mazes,” says Peter Kareiva, a professor of zoology. “Snakes do not encounter anything like mazes in nature, and they do not learn how to run mazes in laboratory conditions.”Holtzman also found a few age-based differences in the signals the snakes use. Young snakes appear to be more adaptable and resourceful, using a variety of clues to find their way to the exit. But their elders seem to rely much more heavily on visual clues. “Actually, one of the amazing findings from our studies is that snakes do use vision in locating places,” says Holtzman. “They don’t just rely on the chemical clues picked up by sticking their tongues out, as many snake biologists assume.”28.What is the function of the cards and tape?A.To direct the snakes to the exits.B.To protect the snakes from bright lights.C.To cover the holes at the container’s bottom.D.To make the container a comfortable spot to stay.29.What do the data in paragraph 3 show about the snakes according to Holtzman?A.They are skillful escapers.B.They are good learners.C.They communicate with each other.D.They adapt to environments quickly.30.What was the problem with early attempts to study snake intelligence?A.They chose the wrong testing arenas.B.They failed to do tests in laboratory conditions.C.They referred to studies dating back to the 1950s.D.They compared snakes with a different kind of animal.31.What astonishes Holtzman about snakes?A.They rely on sight to find their way.B.They leave chemical clues everywhere.C.The young beat their elders in many ways.D.Their tongues are unable to recognize chemical clues.DResearch led by ecologist Bart Hoekstra of the University of Amsterdam shows that birds are affected by the mass use of fireworks on New Year’s Eve up to a distance of 10km (6 miles) away.With data from weather radars and bird counts an international team of researchers revealed how many birds take off immediately after the start of the fireworks, at what distance from fireworksthis occurs and which species groups mainly react.“Birds take off as a result of an acute flight response due to sudden noise and light. We already knew that many water birds react strongly, but now we also see the effect on other birds throughout the Netherlands,” says ecologist Bart Hoekstra of the University of Amsterdam. In the scientific journal Frontier s in Ecology and the Environment, he researchers therefore argue for large fireworks-free zones.Last year, other researchers at IBED discovered that geese are so affected by fireworks that they spend an average of 10% longer looking for food than normal during at least the next 11 days. They apparently need that time to restore their energy to their former condition, after fleeing from the fireworks.Because 62% of all birds in the Netherlands live within a radius of 2.5 km of inhabited areas, the consequences of fireworks are high for all birds throughout the country. “Flying requires a lot of energy, so ideally birds should be disturbed as little as possible during the cold winter months. Measures to ensure this are especially important in open areas such as grasslands, where many larger birds spend the winter. The effects of fireworks on birds are less pronounced near forests and semi-open habitats. In addition, smaller birds such as tits and finches live there, which are less likely to fly away from disturbance.”The authors argue for fireworks-free zones in areas where large birds live. Hoekstra: “These buffer zones could be smaller in areas where light and sound travel less far, such as near forests. Furthermore, fireworks should mainly be lit at central locations in built-up areas, as far away from birds as possible. It would be best for birds if we moved towards light shows without sound, such as drone shows or decorative fireworks without very loud bangs.”32.What can we learn about the research?A.It’s the first one about fireworks’ effects on birds.B.It’s conducted by collecting data from weather radars.C.It shows the extent of the fireworks’ influence on birds.D.It keeps track of birds throughout Netherlands and beyond.33.Why did geese spend more time looking for food?A.To find a place without fireworks.B.To store more food in case.C.To find a new source of energy.D.To make up for the lost energy.34.What does the underlined word “pronounced” in Para.4mean?A.Predictable.B.Noticeable.C.Admirable.D.Avoidable.35.What can be the best title for the passage?A.Fireworks in the world B.Fireworks-free zonesThese problems will drive you mad.in New York.

Then he draws three lines on the cake. The cake now bears a striking resemblance to the badge of his dad’s vehicle, its three equal parts. Just as the children celebrate their cake-cutting victory, Mama K emerges from her house,bearing a tray with three glasses of strawberry juice. Maya excitedly points out Doobie’s achievement, proudly claiming his master y of fair sharing. Mama K’s eyes shine with delight as she comments the children for their fairness and praises Doobie for his exceptional problem-solving skills.With Mama K’s encouragement, Maya takes charge, expertly cutting along Doobie’s lines to make three equal slices. Each piece falls into place, their sizes perfectly matched. In a playful display of satisfaction, the children put the slices upon one another, witnessing the unity of their equal proportions. The sight brings smiles of joy to their faces. Amidst the children’s laughter, Doobie’s dad pulls up to pick up the children, and Doobie runs off to meet him. He can’t wait to tell his dad how the badge on the truck has helped him to solve a very tricky problem!。

广东高考英语真题模拟考试试题含答案4

广东高考英语真题模拟考试试题含答案一、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)1.阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

We can all think of times when people didn't make remembering easy. Directions given at machine-gun speed. New people introduced in a flood of names and handshakes. Whenever information is passed between people, it's all too easy for it to go in one ear and straight out of the other. Thankfully, the opposite is also true. Look around you, and you'll see parents who can get their children to remember exactly what they were told; advertisers who know how to imprint their sales messages on our brains.So, how do they do? Their secrets can be summed up in four simple words: focus, imagery, reasons and engagement.FOCUS means ensuring that the person you're talking to can concentrate on learning. Choose your moment carefully. Check that they can properly hear or see the information. Communicate slowly and clearly enough for their memory to cope.IMAGERY helps information to stick. Do everything your can to make other people "see" the ideasyou're giving them. Add visual details to directions, and illustrate abstract concepts with metaphors.REASONS to remember help people to put in the mental effort. So, make it clear that your words are important, and be explicit about why. Maybe this information will save them time, protect them from embarrassment, or let them enjoy a particular experience or event.EMGAGEMENT requires you to ask questions. Point out links between new concepts and things listeners already know. Activate their senses, spark their curiosity, get them doing something physical, or simply make them laugh.The next time you've got an important message to pass on, put some of these techniques to the test. You'll discover that there are benefits on both sides when you know how to FIRE people's memories into action.(1)What is the main purpose of the text?A.To report new research.B.To provide some advice.C.To explain a problem.D.To define some terms.(2)How can you do to help a listener "focus" on what you are saying?A.Select the appropriate time to raise the topic.B.Do something humorous to get their attention.C.Make sure the information provided is correct.D.Speak as slowly and clearly as you possibly can.(3)Explaining to listeners why your information is important is an example of ________.A.FOCUS B.IMAGERY C.REASONS D.ENGAGEMENT 2.阅读理解Special boxes lie at the bottom of my locked filing cabinet. Deposited there are important letters and cards collected throughout my life, from my grandparents, school friends, parents, wife and son. Since the invention of e-mail though, they've been few and far between.Tonight is New York's Eve 2029 and there's a very special box of letters I want to look at. But first there's something I have to do – The Ritual (惯例).I go to my trusted computer and start. I begin to type: Dear -- . I leave the name blank for now, anticipating the thrill of typing it in. "I hope you are well and I wonder how this will find you. And you still planning to move to that villa in Portugal? Did your son marry Fiona? Is your mother still alive? Questions surge into my mind.For the next two hours I sit writing. About what I've been doing for the last year, my failing health, my increasing wealth and sometime difficult marriage. Then about my goals and ambitions. Will he be interested? Do I climb Mt. Kilimanjaro? Do I get that novel published? the one that's been rejected more times than I carte to think about.Finally, it's finished. 11:30 pm. I fill in the recipient's name, print my letter, sign and address it and then seal it up with tape. I then delete the document and empty the trash folder – to avoid the possibility of temptation. That completes the ritual!I walk over to my "special box". It contains ten long, white, thick envelopes, all with the same handwriting.

He needed skilled cowboys to drive his herd of two thousand longhorn cattle to New Mexico to be sold. He couldn't offer high wages. He couldn't promise easy jobs or even nice weather. But he decided that decent, warm meals might enticemen to work for him.In the mid-to-late 1800s, cattle drives sometimes took three to four months, and once the drive began, there were no stores for hundreds of miles. All the food and supplies needed for the trip were carried on two-wheeled carts. Usually, the cowboy's food was boring and unappetizing.Goodnight went to work and solved the problem. His invention of a mobile kitchen, the chuck wagon (四轮马车), got its name from the cowboy word for food, "chuck." Goodnight took an old army wagon and rebuilt it with Osage orange, a wood so tough that Indians used it to make bows. The wagon's iron axles were stronger than the wooden ones found on standard wagons, and the wider wheels lasted longer. Besides food, coffee sugar and eating utensils, it held everything from first-aid supplies to needles and thread. It even contained cooking stove.The first chuck wagon was an instant success. Eighteen cowhands joined Goodnight and his partner, Oliver Loving, to drive the cattle to New Mexico for a handsome profit. The route they took—later called the Goodnight-Loving Trail—became one of the most heavily used cattle trails in the Southwest.The chuck wagon soon was the backbone of all successful cattle drives. Other ranchers created their own moving kitchens, and eventually the Studebaker Company produced chuck wagons that sold for $75 to$100 apiece, about $1,000 today.The chuck wagon was much more than a mobile kitchen. Sometimes called "the trail drive's mother ship," it was like a magnet that drew the men together. The wagon and the ground around it were the cowboy's home. There he enjoyed hot meals, a warm fire, and good companionship. He could also get a bandage, a haircut, or horse liniment for his sore muscles. And there, under the stars and around the chuck wagon, he crawled into his bedroll each night.(1)Who does the underlined word "entice" in paragraph 1 mean?A.Inform B.Direct C.Enable D.Attract(2)Why were cattle drives in the mid-to-late 1800s so tough?A.All the cattle were carried on two-wheeled vehicles.B.Fresh food supplies were hard to find on the drive.C.There were not enough cowboys to drive the cattle.D.There was no place to store food and necessary supplies.(3)What do we know about Goodnight's chuck wagon from the text?A.It was stronger than the ordinary wagons.B.It was mainly used to provide first aid.C.It could be changed into a sleeping area.D.It was sold to other ranchers by Goodnight.(4)What is the best title for the text?A.The Cowboys' ProblemB.Goodnight-Loving TrailC.The Cowboys' Home on WheelsD.Exciting Cattle Drives in the West4.阅读理解Depending on what language you speak, your eye perceives colours – and the world – differently than someone else.The human eye can physically perceive millions of colours. But we don't all recognise these colours in the same way. Some people can't see differences in colours – so called colour blindness – due to a defect or absence of the cells in the retina that are sensitive to high levels of light: the cones. But the distribution and density of these cells also varies across people with ‘normal vision', causing us all to experience the same colour in slightly different ways.Language affects our colour perception too. Different languages and cultural groups also categorize colours differently. Some languages like Dani, spoken in Papua New Guinea, and Bassa, spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone, only have two terms, dark and light. Dark roughly translates as cool in those languages, and light as warm. So colours like black, blue, and green are glossed as cool colours, while lighter colours like white, red, orange and yellow are glossed as warm colours. Other cultural groups have no word for "colours" at all.Remarkably, most of the world's languages have five basic colour terms. As well as dark, light, and red, these languages typically have a term for yellow, and a term that refers to both blue and green. That is, these languages do not have separate terms for "green" and "blue" but use one term to describe both colours. Also, Russian, Greek, Turkish and many other languages have two separate terms for blue – one referring exclusively to darker shades, and one referring to lighter shades.The way we perceive colours can also change during our lifetime. Greek speakers, who have two fundamental colour terms to describe light and dark blue, are more likely to see these two colours as the same after living for long periods of time in the UK. There, these two colours are described in English by the same fundamental colour term: blue.Different languages can influence our perceptions in all areas of life, not only colour. Scientists are now investigating how different languages changes the way we perceive everyday objects. Ultimately, this happens because learning a new language is like giving our brain the ability to interpret the world differently (1)What is mainly discussed in paragraph 2?A.The medical causes of people's colour blindness.B.The different types of colours that people can see.C.The physical causes of variation in people's vision.D.The cultural reasons for differences in colour perception.(2)What colours are commonly referred to using the same word by many language groups?A.Yellow and red.B.Warm and cold.C.Dark and light.D.Blue and green.(3)What do we know about the Russian language?A.It classifies colours as either warm or cold.B.It has more than one word for the colour blue.C.It mainly describes objects in terms of their colour.D.It has only five basic terms to describe colours.(4)Why does the author mention Greek speakers living in England?A.To illustrate how social context can affect our senses.B.To provide an example of cultural miscommunication.C.To highlight the variation in the words used to describe colour.D.To demonstrate how languages can combine to produce new words.二、任务型阅读(共5小题; 每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Teenagers also take part in marathons actively.Xu Qian is a 15-year-old boy from Duqian, Jiangsu. He loves running very much. He took first place in the 5-kilometer Happy Run of the Jingdong Suqian Marathon on April 2, 2023. To get ready for the race, Xu had to train for months. He ran about 30 to 40 kilometres each week ahead of the run. “The 800-meter run at school is more about speed, but marathon tests a runner’s endurance and psychological quality (心理素质),” he said. When he felt tired during the race, he told himself to fight on.Of course, kindness from the people is also important in helping runners get to the finish line. Li Zhouzifrom Shanxi took part in a 3-kilometre Kid Run of the Berlin Marathon in Germany in 2019 when she was 10. The support from the people cheering along the course (跑道) really encouraged her. “When things were hard, they cheered me on. The simple words ‘keep it up’ meant a lot to me and I was encouraged to keep going to the end,” Li said.6.When did the first marathon of the modern Olympic Games take place?A.In 1886.B.In 2019.C.In 1896.D.In 1986.7.Why did Xu Qian ran about 30 to 40 kilometres each week ahead of the run?A.He wanted to help more runners.B.He had nothing to do but run.C.His father wanted him to do so.D.He trained to get ready for the race.8.The underlined word endurance in Paragraph 2 means ________.A.ability of thinking something B.ability of making somethingC.ability of keep doing something D.ability of running fast9.What encouraged Li Zhouzi to keep to the end?A.The people’s support.B.The finish line.C.Other runners’ help.D.The hard things.10.What is the best title for the text?A.The Meaning of Marathon B.The History of MarathonC.Runners from China D.Hope for the FutureBImagine that the battery on your mobile phone has run out. You can’t make any calls for help and no one can contact you. You are all alone, and well, not quite. Just reach into your pocket and take out a piece of sugar. Put it into the battery, wait a minute and you are back on the phone.Thanks to a couple of American scientists, this situation could become real. Swadesh Chaudhuri and Derek Lovely have invented the “bacteria (细菌) battery”. This kind of battery gets its power from bacteria that eat sugar and turn it into electricity.“This is a special organism (有机体) ,” Lovely said. “You can get enough electricity to power a cell phone battery for about four days from a spoonful of sugar.”In the past, bacteria batteries have been expensive and not long-lasting. But this battery uses a more efficient bacterium that can turn 80 percent of sugar into electrical energy. This is 30 percent more than similar batteries canmanage.The bacteria battery could become as small as a household battery. It is also cheap and stable (稳定的) , because sugar can be taken from waste and crops.But the sugar-to-electricity process is not satisfactory as it could take weeks for the bacteria to change a cup of sugar into electricity. And it produces “greenhouse” gases which pollute the environment.The scientists understand there is a lot more work to be done. “It is still young,” said Lovely.“Where we are now is where solar power was 20 or 30 years ago.”He also believes the battery will be used in scientific equipment at the bottom of the ocean. Ocher’s ideas include using sugar in the blood to run medical devices in the human body and taking sugar from animal waste to provide energy to power homes in the countryside.11.What’s the passage mainly about?A.An effective way to repair the mobile phone.B.A scientific invention of a new type of battery.C.A clean energy to reduce the carbon dioxide.D.A new kind of mobile phone and its future.12.Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the newly-developed battery?A.Convenient.B.Stable.C.Inexpensive.D.Quick.13.Which of the following are the scientists working on to improve the new battery?A.Increase the bacteria.B.Solve the pollution problem.C.Bring down the price.D.Change the size of the battery.14.What does the underlined sentence actually mean?A.The bacteria battery shares some similarities with solar energy.B.Scientists will continue their work until they find solar power.C.There is still much room for the improvement of the bacteria battery.D.The bacteria battery will be as popular as solar power in twenty or thirty years.15.According to the last paragraph, who will find the bacteria battery less useful?A.Divers.B.Farmers.C.Doctors.D.Cooks.CWhether it’s one day off or a week, you don’t need to be among people to have a great time.16 You can spend your holiday on your own doing something you have no time to do in your everyday life.Eat your favorite food. You can make a healthy meal at home. Cook something you love but usually don’t have time to make. Not having meals at home, you can go to a restaurant for something special. Eat it there, or bring it home. 17Stay away from electronics (电子产品). Maybe you can’t help playing with your smart phones all day while you are alone. Why not find more time to go hiking, fly kites or do some other outdoor activities? 18 Try to find something new and fun to do. 19 Going to see a movie or a concert alone can be fun. Use your free time as a chance to try something new like dancing or drawing. 20 . Try to be a master of your own when you are free.A.Whether you eat out or cook at home, enjoy!B.You can go shopping, see a film, or take a classC.Being alone can also be relaxing and interesting.D.All in all, relax and leave your bad feelings behind.E.In this way, you have chances to be close to nature.三、完形填空My 12-year-old niece (侄女) was staying with us for a little while. One night we stayed up talking about how we used to 21 and take part in acts of kindness. We talked about how so much had 22 and how it would be difficult to do so many of those things now, 23 when it came to helping out strangers.The next day, I needed to 24 something from downtown and took her with me.

人教版广东全部城市高考专题英语高考模拟1.阅读理解第1题.Mama and I spend mornings cleaning up the dirt that blows into our house. Mama says all the dust is due to the drought. The dirt sifts into everything. It covers our clothes. We have to wash the dishes before each meal. We rarely drive the truck because Papa fears the dust from the road will ruin the motor.When my sister, Faye, and I walk to school, we wear kerchiefs over our mouths so we don't breathe in the dirt. On days when the air is so bad that they close the school, we stay home and help Mama put wet sheets over the windows. But the dirt always finds a way in.Last Sunday, there was no dirt in the air, only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky. After lunch, Papa headed out to the field to check on the cattle while I played with Faye in the yard. The temperature suddenly dropped. I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust. All the birds flew away. "I must warn Papa," I thought to myself. To avoid her panicking, I gently told Faye to go back inside where she would be safe, and then headed off to the field.The storm hit so fast, and in an instant the day turned into night. By the time I entered the cow field the fine sand was whipping across my face. I screamed for Papa, hoping my voice would lead him back.The dirt and sand stung my skin like a thousand bees. Although I was terrified, I refused to turn back. My dad was stranded and needed my help. Covering my face with one hand, I groped my way toward the truck and opened the door. First I tried turning the truck's lights on and off, hoping that Papa would see them flashing, but the sandstorm let no light escape. Then I pushed the horn again and again, so Papa would hear it. I pushed until I had no more strength in my arms.Suddenly, Papa's face appeared at the window. My heart leaped with surprise and relief. He opened the door and climbed onto the seat next to me. He then pulled me into his arms and said, "Oh, Iris, you saved me!"Finally, the wind subsided and the dust began to settle. Dirt was piled up to the window on one side of the truck and halfway up the door on the other. Papa kicked against the door, opening it far enough to let us out.Sand and soil drifts were everywhere, but we were safe.(1)What is the main function of the first two paragraphs?A: It describes a problem the characters must solve.B: It establishes the setting where the story takes place.C: It introduces the characters that will follow in the story.D: It explains the motivations for the characters' later actions.(2)Why did Papa go to the field that Sunday?A: He was trying to get to his truck.B: He needed to prepare the field for harvest.C: He wanted to make sure the animals were fine.D: He planned to bring in the cattle before the storm.(3)How did Iris save her father?A: By warning him to run away.B: By turning on the truck's lights.C: By guiding him towards the shelter.D: By screaming his name at the top of her voice.(4)Which of the following words best describe Iris?A: Brave and calm.B: Experienced and confident.C: Adventurous and careful.D: Fearless and sympathetic.【答案】BCCA【解答】(1)B 推理判断题。

However, professionals in the field are not alo ne in their efforts to uncover new species. An enthusiastic community of amateurs has emerged,bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals. These amateurs have even made significant discoveries. One such amateur is Taylor Lockwood, a 74-ye ar-old mushroom enthusiast and professional photographer.英语模拟测试 (二) 第2 页 (共10 页)In 1984, while living on the Mendocino coast of California, Taylor Lockwood develo ped a fascination with mushrooms. “Outside my cottage were these amazing mushrooms,”h e says.“And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and said, ‘Taylor, go out and tell the world how pretty we are.’” Lockwood answered their call and purchased camera equipment to capture their true nature. His passion for photographing mushrooms was s o intense that he would even di g holes next to the mushrooms to get the perfect angle for his shots.In the Monongahela National Forest, Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual mush room that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves. Upon further investiga tion, fungi researcher Amy Rossman confirmed that it was a “hazel glove”mushroom, which is a rare find. “Mushrooms are not like plants,” Rossman says. “They don' t come up at the same time every year, and so sometimes it can be decades between w hen a fungus fruits.”Rossman says that's why it's so valuable to have people like TaylorLockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye.A few years ago, Taylor Lockwood realized that still photos weren't sufficient, so he chose to create time-lapse (延时拍摄的) videos of mushrooms. “When I do time-laps e,I see so much life happening around the mushrooms —— insects, worms and other small creatures interacting with them,” he says. Lockwood's love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time. Although he appreciates the scientific aspect of his work, he identifies himself as an artist at heart.24. What can we learn about mushroom amateurs from paragraph 1?A. They keep close track of the growth of fungi.B. They help identify new species of mushroom.C. They replace professional scientists in the field.D. They classify the majority of mushroom species.25. What inspired Lockwood to photograph mushrooms?A. His desire for knowledge.B.

You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately. Next, you pool them and share them among the group wi thout telling the authors. Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own, only a fter which do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options. By developing and assessing ideas individually before choosing and expandin g on them, the team can surface and advance possibilities that might not get attentio n otherwise.An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped undergro und in Chile. Given the urgency of the situation, the rescue team didn't hold brainsto rming sessions. Rather, they established a global brainwriting system to generate indi vidual ideas. A 24-year-old engineer came up with a tiny plastic telephone. This speci alized tool ended up becoming the only means of communicating with the miners,making i t possible to save them.Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues help s to explain why this method works. They find that the key to collective intelligence is balanced participation. In brainstorming meetings, it's too easy for participation to become one-sided in favor of the loudest voices. The brainwriting process ensures t hat all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation. T he goal isn't to be the smartest person in the room. It's to make the room smarter.Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn't end the re.Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alon e.That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noi se and bring out the best ideas.28. What is special about brainwriting compared with brainstorming?A. It highlights independent work.B. It encourages group cooperation.C. It prioritizes quality over quantity.D. It prefers writing to oral exchanges.英语模拟测试 (二) 第 4 页 (共10页)29. Why does the author mention the Chile mining accident in paragraph 3?A. To introduce a tool developed during brainwriting.B. To praise a young man with brainwriting technique.C. To illustrate a successful application of brainwriting.D. To explain the role of brainwriting in communication.30. How does brainwriting promote collective intelligence according to paragraph 4?A. By blocking the loudest voices.B. By allowing equal involvement.C. By improving individual wisdom.D. By generating more creative ideas.31. Which step of brainwriting does the author stress in the last paragraph?A. Individual writing.B. Group sharing.C. Personal evaluation.D. Joint discussion.DAs most Americans spend at least 50% of their food budget dining out, public c riticism falls on restaurants to help consumers make healthier food choices. The Me nuLabeling Final Rule has come into effect, requiring restaurants with more than 20 locations to show the calories of food on menus.By representing these values in a discrepant way—using physically larger numbe rs on the page for lower-calorie options, and smaller numbers for high-calorie food s—businesses can shift customers' preferences toward healthier food, according to RuiyingCai from the Washington State University.In their study, Cai and her colleagues asked participants to choose between a l ess healthy item and a healthier option after randomly assigning them to two groups. In the first group, ca lorie counts and font(字体) sizes rose and fell together. I n the second group, the size became larger as the calorie count fell. Researchers a lso asked participants questions to assess their health-consciousness.Results showed participants in the second group, who saw low calorie counts pri nted in large sizes, were more likely to adopt the healthier option. Moreover, less health-conscious participants were the most affected, while people with more health awareness were less influenced since they already favored healthier food.This research adjusted customer behaviors by creating a Stroop effect. Named af ter psychologist J. Ridley Stroop, the Stroop effect refers to a delay in reaction t o mismatch in its classic form. For example, if the word “purple” is written in gr een, it takes英语模拟测试 (二) 第 5 页 (共10页)respondents longer time to identify the color than if the word and the color match. Similarly, the effect is observed when the physical size of the number does not mat ch its number in this study.“Restaurants are interested in encouraging customers to make healthier choices,”Cai said. However, simply labeling the food as healthy may not have the intended effec t.“Healthy food items could be profitable for restaurants, but whenever a‘healthy’la bel is attached, people may assume it does not taste good,” she explained. “W e're try ing to provide restaurants with indirect suggestions, rather than saying it out loud.”32. What does the underlined word“discrepant”in paragraph 2 mean?A. Creative.B. Relative.C. Conflicting.D. Misleading.33. Which of the following type of customers would benefit most from the research?A. Strict diet followers.B. Convenience food fans.C. Homema de meal lovers.D. Health magazine readers.34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A. The significance of research results.B. The measurement of response delays.C. The psychological basis of the study design.D. The influential variations of the Stroop effect.35. Which of the following might be Cai's suggestion for restaurants?A. Use font magic to drive healthier choices.B. Pay more attention to the taste of the food.C. Create a quiet dining atmosphere for customers.D. Attach“healthy” labels to the food on the menu.第二节 (共5 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

人教版广东全部城市高考专题英语高考模拟1.阅读理解第1题.Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush. He stopped by the fence in front of the house where he lived with his aunt Polly. He looked at it, and all joy left him. The fence was long and high. He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence. He repeated the operation. He felt he could not continue and sat down.He knew that his friends would arrive soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day.They would walk past him and laugh. They would make jokes about his having to work on a beautiful summer Saturday. The thought burned him like fire.He put his hand into his pockets and took out all that he owned. Perhaps he could find some way to pay someone to do the whitewashing for him. But there was nothing of value in his pockets—nothing that could buy even half an hour of freedom. So he put the bits of toys back into his pockets and gave up the idea.At this dark and hopeless moment, a wonderful idea came to him. It filled his mind with a great, bright light. Calmly he picked up the brush and started again to whitewash.While Tom was working, Ben Rogers appeared. Ben was eating an apple as he walked along the street. As he walked along it, he was making noises like the sound of a riverboat. First he shouted loudly, like a boat captain. Then he said "Ding-Dong-Dong", "Ding-Dong-Dong" again and again, like the bell of a riverboat. And he made other strange noises. When he came close to Tom, he stopped.Tom went on whitewashing. He did not look at Ben. Ben stared a moment and then said: "Hello! I'm going swimming, but you can't go, can you?"No answer. Tom moved his brush carefully along the fence and looked at the result with the eye of an artist. Ben came nearer. Tom's mouth watered for the apple, but he kept on working.Ben said, "Hello, old fellow, you've got to work, hey?"Tom turned suddenly and said, "Why, it's you, Ben! I wasn't noticing.""Say—I'm going swimming. Don't you wish you could? But of course you'd rather work—wouldn't you? Of course you would."Tom looked at the boy a bit, and said, "What do you call work?""Why, isn't that work?"Tom went back to his whitewashing, and answered carelessly."Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. All I know is, it suits Tom Sawyer.""Oh come, now, you don't mean to say that you like it?"The brush continued to move."Like it? Well, I don't see why I shouldn't like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?"Ben stopped eating his apple. Tom moved his brush back and forth, stepped back to look at the result, added a touch here and there, and steppedback again. Ben watched every move and got more and more interested. Soon he said, "Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little."Tom thought for a moment, and was about to agree, but he changed his mind. "No—no—it won't do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect. It has got to be done very carefully. I don't think there is one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it well enough.""No—is that so? Oh come, now—let me just try. Only just a little.""Ben, I'd like to, but if it isn't done right, I'm afraid Aunt Polly...""Oh, I'll be careful. Now let me try. Say—I'll give you the core of my apple.""Well, here—No, Ben, now don't. I'm afraid...""I'll give you all of it."Tom gave up the brush with unwillingness on his face, but joy in his heart. And while Ben worked at the fence in the hot sun, Tom sat under a tree, eating the apple, and planning how to get more help. There were enough boys. Each one came to laugh, but remained to whitewash. By the time Ben was tired, Tom sold the next chance to Billy for a kite; and when Billy was tired, Johnny bought it for a dead rat—and so on, hour after hour. And when the middle of the afternoon came, Tom had won many treasures.And he had not worked. He had had a nice idle time all the time, with plenty of company, and the fence had been whitewashed three times. If he hadn't run out of whitewash, Tom would have owned everything belonging to his friends.He had discovered a great law of human action, namely, that in order to make a man or a boy want a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to get.(1)Why did Tom take all his bits of toys out of his pockets?A: Because he was tired and wanted to play with his toys.B: Because he wanted to throw his toys away.C: Because he wanted to know if he could buy help with his toys.D: Because he wanted to give his toys to his friends.(2)Tom was about to agree to let Ben whitewash when he changed his mind because ______.A: Tom wanted to do the whitewashing by himselfB: Tom planned to make Ben give up his apple firstC: Tom was unwilling to let Ben do the whitewashingD: Tom was afraid Ben would do the whitewashing better(3)What made Ben Rogers eagerly give up his apple and offer to brush the fence for Tom?A: His warm heart and kindness to friends.B: His curiosity about Toms brushing job.C: Tom's threat.D: Aunt Polly's idea(4)Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?A: The Happy WhitewasherB: Tom and His FellowsC: Whitewashing a FenceD: Make The Things Difficult To Get【答案】CBBA【解答】(1)C 推理判断题。

人教版广东广州高考专题英语高考模拟1.阅读理解第1题.Hugging a dog is one of the life's greatest joys. It is like experiencing a love drug, which is quite true.Dogs and humans always interact with each other. And if you get to have dogs and hug them every day, you just might live longer than people who don't have to clean animal hair off their clothes, according to a pair of studies recently.The studies, published in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, suggest that dog ownership is linked to a 21% reduction in the risk of death—over the 12-year period studied—for people with heart disease. When you look at all the evidence around dog ownership and their health, it's pretty clear the signal is real.We've known forever that owning a dog increases one's physical activity. Regardless of weather, you have to get out and walk the dog. Otherwise, you might stay home and watch TV. Owning a dog makes you spend more time outdoors, and time spent outdoors improves health. Owning a dog or interacting with a dog even for a short term also reduces blood pressure. And the biggest advantage of having a dog is what it does for mental health. We see very beneficial effects on depression and anxiety.Many of us may not have a dog. And these studies have finally convinced someone to get one. We've thought of dogs as a form of comfort. The study forces a rethinking of pets in our society. We've started out with dogs as accomplices during hunts as hunter gatherers. Gradually, we selected for traitsof loyalty and friendship. At this point, many of us can totally seethe basic reasons why dogs improve our sense of well-being, reduce loneliness and can be an improvement to our physical and mental health.(1)Who might live longer according to the study?A: People who hate dogs.B: People who have dogs.C: People who haven't dogs.D: People who like bathing pets.(2)What can we infer about getting a dog in paragraph 3?A: It can cure heart disease.B: It can make people more energetic.C: It can help improve health.D: It can stop people from getting ill.(3)What is the largest benefit of getting a dog?A: Improving physical health.B: Improving mental health.C: Enjoying outdoor activities.D: Strengthening patience and love.(4)What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A: To show his love of dogs.B: To share his own experience of keeping a dog.C: To introduce a new life style.D: To state the finding of a study about keeping dogs.【答案】BCBD【解答】(1)B 细节理解题。

人教版广东广州高考专题英语高考模拟1.阅读理解第1题.There are many useful suggestions and pieces of advice that can help one to improve English. Here are some useful suggestions and new tips to increase one's English language vocabulary.Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. A broad grasp of vocabulary in the English language is based on understanding important expressions.Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Research shows that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context, the more words one is shown, the better vocabulary one will have. Keep a piece of paper close to you. When you read, pay more attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to figure out its meaning from the context. Then look up the word in a dictionary.Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English.Building vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember, "In the beginning was the word." Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the quality of your communication.(1)We can learn from the passage that learning English vocabulary______.A: is just about learning the right wordsB: is about remembering more and more wordsC: doesn't require one to learn expressionsD: requires one to understand important expressions(2)Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A: It doesn't take long to build one's vocabulary.B: If you remember a wordyou are still able to forget it if you don't use it.C: To master a wordyou need to repeat it 10-20 times.D: Practice is very important in fluent spoken English.(3)The best way to learn new words is ______.A: reading them loudly over and over againB: writing them down over and over againC: trying to use them while speaking and writingD: always looking them up in the dictionary(4)What is the passage mainly about?A: How to have a good conversation in English.B: How to enrich your English vocabulary.C: Why context is important in learning English.D: How to improve the quality of communication.【答案】DACB【解答】(1)D 细节理解题。
