He felt ________ he was cut off from the outside world for more than six years.A.in case B.as ifC.as usual D.what ifⅡ.阅读理解AI was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known.I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help.After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn't bear people to look at me and think I was not like them.I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes.Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I'm awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again.When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost.This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me.So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off.No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound.Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away.In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop. It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus.Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did.But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by.I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one.Then I gave up.I decided to walk on to the next stop.11.The girl refused to ask for help because she thought ________.A.she might be recognizedB.asking for help looked sillyC.she was normal and independentD.being found blind was embarrassing12.After the girl got off the bus that evening, she________.A.began to runB.hit a person as usualC.hit a lamppost by accidentD.was caught by something13.At the request stop that evening, the girl________.A.stopped a big lorryB.stopped the wrong busC.made no attempt to stop the busD.was not noticed by other people14.What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?A.Other vehicles also stopped there.B.It was unreliable for making judgments.C.More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D.It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.BPhil Moriarty, one of the most successful American swimming and diving coaches and a legend at Yale, died on Saturday in Connecticut, US.He was 98.Moriarty, who coached the United States diving team at the Rome Olympics in 1960, helped train some of his time's greatest swimmers, among them the Olympic gold medalists Don Schollander, Steve Clark, Mike Austin, John Nelson and Jeff Farrell.He also coached Olympic diving champions like Bob Clotworthy and David Browning.In 1960, Moriarty's divers won two gold and four silver medals in Rome.Moriarty had been the diving coach at Yale since 1939 when, in 1959, he succeeded Bob Kiphuth as the swimming team coach.“When I came to Yale,” Clark said, “I was a restless little boy depending on blazing speed and luck.I matured with Phil so that he didn't have to hold my hand.He let me grow and gave me confidence.”Philip Edward Moriarty was born on April 12, 1914, in New Haven.He graduated from high school in 1932. Though he did not have a college degree, he got a job teaching swimming to Yale students of his age.He also designed a revolutionary starting block that allowed backstrokers(仰泳运动员)to avoid pushing off a slippery wall.It was successful in the United States, but after three years the international federation refused to approve it.Moriarty promoted backstroke as healthy recreation for the young.When municipal authorities proposed closing public swimming pools to save money in 2008, he opposed the idea in a letter to The Stuart News, a Florida newspaper, saying athletics can help prevent youths from falling into gangs (帮派)and drifting into crime.“The only gangs on swimming teams are relay teams,”he wrote.“The only gun they see is the starter's pistol (发令枪), pointed upward, not at someone.”15.Paragraph 2 is mainly developed ________.A.by time B.by spaceC.by examples D.by comparison16.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.A.the use of a starting block for swimmersB.the admittance of backstroke style into the OlympicsC.the acceptance of Moriarty as a swimming judgeD.the practice of pushing off a slippery wall17.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.There are criminal relay gangs on swimming teams.B.Moriarty trained a group of swimming champions like Browning.C.Moriarty had performed as a diving coach since 1939 in Kiphuth's place.D.In Moriarty's opinion, athletics can help the youths grow up healthily in society. 18.The passage is probably written to ________.A.take a different look at Moriarty's legendary lifeB.advocate promoting swimming among the youthsC.inform readers of Moriarty's death and achievementsD.describe a few swimming and diving medalists at the OlympicsⅢ.完成句子19.A meteor exploded over Russia's Ural Mountains. So far, around 1,200 peopleare reported __________________________.(injure)一颗陨石在俄罗斯乌拉尔山脉地区上空爆炸。

This was the case in many eastern European countries for several years after 1986.Scientists are putting the first spike down to the atomic bomb tests of the 1960s and 1970s where radioactive atoms were blasted into the atmosphere. Air currents caught these atoms and then distributed them around the world.They think the second spike is due to the 1986 Chernobyl disaster in which the reactor exploded in the Ukraine(乌克兰).The effects of Chernobyl were felt locally and no effect was seen in the U.S., probably because it was too far from the disaster to have an effect.“The closer the country was to Chernobyl, the stronger the effect,”said study co-author Hagen Scherb, a biostatistician(生物统计学家) at the German Research Center for Environmental Health in Munich.More males were born relative to females in Belarus—the Ukraine's neighbour—than in France.The study is based largely on Cold War-era statistics, but the findings are highly relevant for how gender could be affected after future nuclear disasters.And in the wake of Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident experts are predicting another baby boy boom could come, especially on the U.S. West Coast.Previous radiation experiments on animals may give a clue for the increase in male births. Tests showed that radiation caused damage to the X chromosome(染色体) in sperm, Dr Scherb said.A human sperm cell contains either an X or Y chromosome, while an egg only has an X chromosome. An XY combination will become a boy, while an XX combination will be a girl.31.How many nuclear radiation accidents are mentioned in the passage?A.1.B.2.C.3.D.4.32.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The on-the-ground incidents like Chernobyl, effected birth gender across the globe.B.There was an increase in the number of baby boys in many eastern European countries for several years after 1986.C.The Japan's nuclear accident will not effect the birth gender of the U.S. because of the long distance.D.Where radioactive material has spread, women can't give birth to children.33.How does radiation effect birth gender?A.It damages the Y chromosome in sperm.B.It stops X chromosomes and Y chromosomes combining.C.It kills baby girls before they are born.D.It damages the X chromosome in sperm.34.What does the passage mainly tell us?A.Nuclear age has led to millions of fewer baby girls being born.B.Nuclear radiation has bad effects upon people's health.C.Worries about radiation risks.D.Nuclear age helps reduce the world population.Ⅳ.完成句子阅读下列各小题,根据每句后的汉语提示,用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子。

But her pose was somehow strange that she knelt on her knees like a person was worshipping(礼拜); her body was leaning forward, and her two hands were supported by an object. The collapsed house had crashed her back and her head.With so many difficulties, the leader of the rescue team put his hand through a narrow gap on the wall to reach the woman's body. He was hoping that this woman could be still alive. However, the cold and stiff body told him that she had passed away for sure.He and the rest of the team left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building. For some reasons, the team leader was driven by a compelling force to go back to the ruined house of the dead woman. Again, he knelt down and used his hand through the narrow cracks to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, he screamed with excitement,“A child! There is a child!”The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3­month­old little boy wrapped in a flowery blanket under his mother's dead body. Obviously, the woman had made a sacrifice for saving her son. When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up.The medical doctor came quickly to examine the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cell phone.There was a text message on the screen. It said, “If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” This cell phone was passed around from one hand to another. Everybody that read the message wept. “If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” Such is the mother's love for her child!【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

A
People love cellphones,which is why nine in ten Americans own one.But does heavy use of cellphones pose a risk of cancer? This question has caused controversy for many years.A new study in rats nowaugmentsthose concerns.Its data linked long term,intense exposure to radiation from cellphones with an increased risk of cancer in the heart or brain.The results have yet to be confirmed,the authors note.
Phone signals are relayed between cell towers and cellphones via radio waves.This radio frequency—or RF— radiation is a type known as non ionizing(非电离的).Unlike X rays,non ionizing radiation does not deposit enough energy into cells to release electrons from atoms or molecules,producing ions. So it tends to be far less harmful than ionizing radiation,such as X rays.But that does not mean radio waves might not cause harm.

Unit 4 Earthquakes课时作业Ⅰ.阅读(2020·河南省八市重点高中联盟高三上期“领军考试”试题)One young lady is being praised for perfect manners for an apology note she wrote to the National Park, after she reportedly took a rock home as a souvenir (纪念品). Besides expressing her regret, the girl also returned the stolen rock to the park and even gave a donation.On Aug. 17, the National Park shared the tale of the note to their Facebook page, where it has since been liked over 5,200 times, and shared about 700.“Dear Park Ranger (护林员), Deep Creek was awesome! I especially liked Tom Branch Falls,” the youngster, named Karina, began her letter, “I loved it so much. I wanted to have a souvenir to come home with me.”“So I took a rock. I'm sorry, and I want to return it,” she said. “Also, here's a donation!”Lucky for Karina, the park rangers were moved by her sincere apologies, and even wrote back.“Dear Karina, thank you so much for returning the rock! It has made its way back to Tom Branch Falls. We are so glad you enjoyed your visit,” the park officials wrote in their Facebook post.“Already, you are becoming an amazing steward for the park. Thank you for recognizing that what is in the park should stay in the park. If every visitor took a rock home, that would mean 11 million rocks would be gone from the park every year!” they shared.The park rangers went on to explain the importance of rocks in the Natural Park as homes for “hundreds” of creatures, including salamanders.“Now that you know to leave nature the way you find it, we hope you will help share this message with others,” the officials concluded, “It is always a good thing to give another the chance to discover!”章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。

Unit 4 Earthquakes课时作业Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·邯郸模拟C)Have you ever noticed tiny raised areas on the branches of a tree?These may have been insects.These small insects feed on tree sap(汁液).Insects on urban trees are notably more abundant than those on rural trees.As a result,urban trees suffer from heavy infestations(害虫横行),and are often unhealthy or die.To protect and restore urban trees' health,we need to determine the factors that make these tree pests more successful in urban habitats.Living organisms interact closely with their environment.The warmer,more drought -stressed trees harbor more successful pests than cooler,less drought-stressed trees.As cities and natural habitats become hotter and drier,damaging insects will become more abundant on urban trees.Trees within urban forests are valuable economically and for the environmental sustainability(可持续性)of the region.More than half of the world's population lives in cities.Across the globe,people are moving into cities at a faster rate than ever.Rapid growth may turn cities into places with harder conditions.Although cities are primarily made of buildings,roads,parking lots,and vehicles,there are still plants in them.The trees within a city are referred to as the urban forest.Urban forests offer very big benefits to human and environmental health.They improve air and water quality,provide habitat for wildlife,cool down temperatures and beautify our environment.They make cities livable.However,being a city tree is not easy.Heat released by human activities is trapped in cities.As a result,temperatures in urban areas are often warmer than their surrounding rural areas.We call this urban warming or the urban heat island effect.Urban habitats are mostly made of surfaces of asphalt(沥青)and concrete.These surfaces reduce the amount of rainwater that reaches tree roots.As a result,urban forests may suffer,which can negatively affect people and theenvironment.What can we do to restore urban forests?Regular irrigation when possible may help keep pest populations under control.Planting tree species that are suitable to handle heat and drought stress would also reduce the occurrence of insect pest outbreaks.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了城市中的森林使城市宜居,但是人类的活动对城市的树木产生了极大的影响,所以我们应该为保护城市树木采取行动。

For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing songslike“Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder”?I suppose it was strange for a father to wear an apron—even one with race cars—but I never thought much of it until that Sunday when we walked home from church together.“Tommy”, he said,“There comes a time in every boy's life when he must take on responsibilities.” “Responsibilities?” I asked. “Yes. It's time you took a greater role in the household. Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can relax.” “The dishes?” “Anything wrong with taking over the dishes?”I started to say something about a man's job, but I knew immediately that my protests would fall on deaf ears.I didn't taste a bit of breakfast that morning. My father announced to my mother, “Let's go to read the paper, honey.Our oldest son has generously offered to fill the position.”So this was what my life had come to.People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son. He came back into the kitchen just as I was about to storm out. In his right hand was the old apron.“I want you to have this, Tommy. It'll keep your clothes from getting wet.” And before I could do anything, he had put that apron on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I appreciate this.”With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked down at the apron.It had seen better days.I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. Soon I was singing about Mrs. Murphy's Chowder.16.What is the main purpose of the underlined sentences in the first paragraph?A.To show the unwillingness of his father when doing dishes.B.To instruct the main steps of how his father does dishes.C.To emphasize his father's clumsy way of doing dishes.D.To stress the enjoyment and happiness of his father's doing dishes.17.What does the underlined word “responsibilities” in the second paragraph refer to?A.Taking care of the brothers.B.Making progress academically.C.Doing all the dishes.D.Washing the apron with race cars.18.What did the author mean by saying “People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son” in the fourth paragraph?A.Mind acts upon mind.B.Like father like son.C.A child is better unborn than untaught.D.Obedience is the first duty of a boy.19.How did the author feel at the end of the passage?A.Proud.

Unit 4 EarthquakesⅠ.阅读理解A(2021·山东潍坊高三统一考试)“There's a mother in PICU(儿童重症监护病房)who wants to talk about a kit she received,” the nurse told me. “Something about it made her cry.”I've been a child­life specialist at the Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital since 2000. I help families understand diagnoses and treatment plans and manage the ups and downs that come with caring for a sick child. Tough talks with parents are part of the job,which still makes me feel nervous.The kits the nurse was talking about were something I had recently introduced to the hospital: Comfort Kits from Guideposts. They were supposed to make a child's experience here easier,not upsetting.When I came across the kits at a conference,I fell in love with them. A treasure box of items designed not only to entertain kids,but to comfort and inspire them. There's a coloring book,a stress ball,a CD of relaxing music,a hairy star named Sparkle,a journal and much more. I really believed these kits would help kids. I wished I hadn't been mistaken.At the patient's room in PICU I saw a little girl,sleeping soundly,surrounded by tubes and machines. My eyes met her mother's. The kit was open on her lap and tears were running down her cheeks.“I'm Shannon. I manage the Child Life Department,”I said. “I'm sorry if the kit upset you. It's a new item ...”The mother shook her head. “This has been one of the worst days of my life. I felt so scared and alone. Then I was handed this box. I know it's for my daughter,but it's just the comf ort I needed. I wanted to say thank­you.”With that I knew Comfort Kits belonged here. We've been using them for almost three years now. Each child who's admitted to the hospital receives one. Every day I see kids coloring,journaling,playing with Sparkle.But as this mom showed me Comfort Kits aren't just for kids. The hope they bring, which_can_be_in_short_supply_in_hospitals_sometimes,_is felt by the whole family.【解题导语】作为一名儿童医护专家,作者引进了一套工具,这套工具对患者及其家眷产生了很大的影响。

“我”和凯特是室友,但却有不同的个性。

她喜欢整洁、干净,而“我”却是个邋遢的人,东西总是到处乱扔。

一天晚上,战争终于爆发了,但是在凯特接到一个电话后,我们却都变得更加包容对方,并且悟出了相处(融洽)的关键所在。

这到底是怎么回事呢?1.What made Kate so angry one evening?A.She couldn't find her books.B.She heard the author shouting loud.C.She got the news that her grandma was ill.D.She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed.答案:D 解析:推理判断题。

根据第二段中的“Take your shoes away!Why under my bed!”可以得知,凯特那天晚上生气是因为作者把鞋子放在了她的床下。

A项意为“她找不到自己的书了”,文章并未提及;B项意为“她听到作者大喊大叫”,双方爆发战争后才互相朝对方大喊,这并不是凯特生气的原因,而是彼此生气的表现;C项意为“她得知自己的奶奶病了”,这是凯特接到的电话的内容,而不是她生气的原因。

2.The author tidied up the room most probably because ________.A.she was scared by Kate's angerB.she hated herself for being so messyC.she wanted to show her careD.she was asked by Kate to do so答案:C 解析:推理判断题。

根据第三段作者从电话中得知,凯特的奶奶病了,凯特盖上被子伤心地哭泣。

由本段最后两句可看出,作者认为自己应该和凯特一起面对,心里越来越同情凯特。

凯特是个爱整洁的人,而且在此之前因为作者把鞋子乱放在她的床下而生气,所以作者主动去打扫房间,想以此来表达自己对凯特的关心。

3.How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A.By analyzing causes.B.By showing differences.C.By describing a process.D.By following time order.答案:B 解析:结构理解题。

概括第一段可看出,本段主要运用了对比的手法,通过介绍两个人对物品的存放等事项来说明“我”与凯特的不同之处,故B项正确。

A项“分析原因”;C项“描述过程”;D项“按照时间顺序”。
