新高考赢在阅读高二英语时文阅读专版(含原文翻译及答案解析)AJosh Gad's Olaf showed insanely hot skills singing "Unmeltable Me" for "Frozen II". But the hilarious (欢闹的) tune never made it into the animated hit: It was cut from the movie after his vocals were recorded and storyboards had been drawn up. The missing: “Unmeltable Me”is revealed now at , ahead of the home release of “Frozen II”, which features the deleted scene as an extra.The ditty was the first song written for the sequel. The new song features Gad's Olaf singing style, playing harpsichord (羽管键琴) accompaniment. The instrument was requested by directors for comedic reasons. The harpsichord arrangement made it funny and different. The filmmakers originally wanted “Unmeltable Me”to explain an important story point –why Olaf no longer needed the magical “flurry”cloud Elsa had created at the end of "Frozen" to keep the snowman from melting in warm weather.Creating the flurry effect was so difficult for the animators that the directors decided Elsa would have perfected a permafrost coating for Olaf by the second movie. The scene features Olaf doing just about everything to show off his new permafrost coating, from sticking a lit candle into his head to placing his head in a Sterno-heated buffet tray.Olaf's audience in the scene is a group of dignitaries who have traveled to Arendelle from around the world to meet the powerful Elsa at a state dinner. Elsa and Anna are held up, so Olaf fills time entertaining the assembled guests with the song. Sadly, “Unmeltable Me”was cut before it could be fully animated.Gad’s Olaf still received his big song in “Frozen 2”singing “When IAm Older”happily.“Unmeltable Me' is definitely fun, but that’s show business,”says Lopez, who especially loves how Olaf ends the song on an unusual high note.1. What can we learn from the song “Unmeltable Me”in the first paragraph?A. The song “Unmeltable Me”was sung by Elsa.B. The song can make this movie into a animated hit.C. The song was created for the movie.D. The song was recorded in the movie at last.2. What does the underlined word “revealed”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Show.B. Hide.C. Create.D. Delete.3. What is the purpose of using permafrost coating?A. To entertain the audience.B. To prevent Olaf from melting.C. To make the movie funny.D. To explain show business.4. What can we know from the passage?A. This movie is directed by Josh Gad.B. Olaf likes his new permafrost coating.C. Josh Gad’s attitude is passive because his song was cut from the movie.D. The scene of the song is not mentioned in the article.BGoogle’s Search Engine Can Recommend Your Favorite Shows and MoviesGoogle wants to help smartphone users find new (and old) favorite TV shows and movies to watch.The Mountain View, Calif.-based tech giant announced an update on Thursday for its search engine on mobile, which will serve U.S. users with personalized TV and film recommendations across different streaming services.Here’s how to get started: Mobile users who visit or Google’s search app simply have to type in a phrase including “what to watch”or “good shows to watch.”Google then serves up the names of TV shows and film titles across different genres, from somewhat older titles, like Desperate Housewives and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to more recent releases, including Disney’s live-action Aladdin and Avengers: Endgame. Then, Tinder style, users will swipe to “Like”or“Dislike”them.Once that’s done, users pick which streaming services they subscribe to, including Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, and others, and the search engine will serve up recommendations based on their tastes.Google’s latest update may seem minor, but it’s welcome in an age when consumers are inundated with①streaming services, each with thousands of titles to watch.It’s also incredibly timely. Over the next 12 months, consumers will find themselves wading through②loads of new options for streaming service subscriptions and content.Apple is expected to debut its long-awaited Apple TV+ service this fall, with at least 34original series and five movies, including The Morning Show, a drama starring Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Steve Carell, and Dickinson, a comedic take on Poet Emily Dickinson’s Life, starring True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld.Disney, meanwhile, plans on rolling out Disney Plus on Nov. 12 for $6.99 a month, or $12.99as part of a larger bundle that includes Hulu and ESPN+. The Burbank, Calif.-based entertainment giant has been more forthcoming about its service in more recent months, promising a day one launch featuring more than 300 available movies and 7,500 TV episodes. Original shows in the works include the live-action Star Wars spin-off③The Mandalorian, a Star Wars Obi Wan Kenobi series with Ewan McGregor, and a revival of the teen sitcom Lizzie McGuire, starring Hilary Duff.CThe CDC defines an epidemic as “an increase, often sudden, in the number of cases of a disease above what is normally expected in that population in that area.”The official definition of a pandemic is “an outbreak of disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects an high proportion of the population,”according to Merriam-Webster. In other words, a serious and sudden outbreak of disease would start out as an epidemic, but some may then escalate to pandemic once the disease has spread across countries or continents.The first major flu-related pandemic was the Russian Flu, which traveled around the world inthe late 1800s. An outbreak of the Spanish Flu followed roughly 20 years later. The mostwell-known pandemic in recent modern history was HIV which was first identified in the early 1980s. Famous epidemics in U.S. history include the spread of smallpox (天花) in the 1600s, scarlet fever in the 1800s, polio throughout a big chunk of the early to mid–20th century, and several waves of measles outbreaks. These outbreaks didn’t reach pandemic level because they occurred within one country or a region of it. Despite the differences between an epidemic and a pandemic, the fact of the matter is that you can get very sick from either one—and the effects can be devastating to entire communities.Many countries have devised pandemic plans that help officials respond quickly when an outbreak occurs. Often, the focus is on mitigation —containing the outbreak through quarantine and immediate treatment —and deploying critical resources to affected populations. In the United States, the CDC has developed a national pandemic influenza plan that outlines the response plan for flu-related illnesses. One element of the plan is “community mitigation,”or trying to keep the illness contained to a limited area. Recommended strategies include frequent hand washing, sanitizing surfaces and electronic gadgets that are used often, diligent cleaning procedures, and staying home when you feel sick.1. Which one can replace the underlined word in the third paragraph?A. Keeping cleaning.B. Reducing seriousness.C. Receiving treatment.D. Working voluntarily.2. Which is NOT the actual case of pandemic?A. Russian Flu.B. HIV.C. Spanish Flu.D. Smallpox.3. What can we know about pandemic and epidemic according to the passage?A.An epidemic will become a pandemic if it is not controlled in time.B. They both don’t result in too serious health issues.C. Pandemic is occurred in a smaller area compared to epidemic.D. They both don’t lead to devastating effects on many countries.4. What measures can people take to cut the transmission of pandemic?A. Believe in yourself and keep a good mentality.B. Stay at home and isolate yourself when you feel sick.C. Take medicine without consulting or going to professional hospitals.D. Clean your hands or electronic gadgets once in a while.DGEF announces new investment in Central America's blue economyAt the Our Ocean conference in Oslo, the head of the Global Environment Facility announced a $6.8 million contribution from the GEF Trust Fund to help seven countries across Central America jointly①assess opportunities and challenges from the blue economy along their Pacific coasts. The financing will help Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico,and Panama analyze and develop action plans to work together on coastal and marine ecosystems, along the lines of transboundary (跨界) initiatives②the GEF has supported elsewhere in Latin America through its International Waters work program.“We strongly support this science-based effort to identify threats and opportunities for Central America’s Pacific coastal areas, and see it as a model that can be replicated③in other regions,”said Naoko Ishii, GEF CEO and Chairperson. “It is essential that we jointly sustain④healthy coastal and marine ecosystems in support of economic and environmental goals including the preservation of biodiversity. We are pleased to support this effort to inform policy priority-setting and encourage collaboration where it is urgently needed.”The GEF’s International Waters work program brings together 156 developing countries and24 donor⑤countries to jointly manage transboundary water resources and support a sustainable blue economy. GEF-supported projects in this area aim to increase coordination between sectors ⑥such as tourism, renewable energy production, fisheries, aquaculture (水产养殖), and coastaldevelopment in pursuit of economic and environmental goals.The new Central American project, to be enforced by the UN Development Program (UNDP),is designed to help assess the socioeconomic and ecological opportunities and challenges related to the blue economy, which stretch beyond national borders. It will include scientific analysis of pollution, degradation⑦of coastal and marine habitats, fisheries activity, and climate change in the area, and set out strategies to jointly address these challenges.The GEF has previously supported similar collaborative efforts in 23 large marine ecosystems worldwide, including the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, and the Humboldt Current.Lessons from those projects, as well as GEF initiatives in East Asia and other coastal areas, inform the design of the new venture.In addition to the blue economy, GEF International Waters financing also supports conservation and sustainability on the high seas and enhancing security of freshwater ecosystems such as shared groundwater and lakes and river basins. Countries participating in GEF projects have negotiated and agreed on numerous regional cooperation frameworks, treaties, and protocols.EHere’s what happens to your mouth, teeth, and gums –beyond stinky morning breath –when you miss recommended brushings. Think of your toothbrush, floss, and mouth rinse (漱口水) as the good guys of oral health care. The bad guys are bacteria. “Bacteria thrive on food left on or in between teeth, and it grows at lightning speed,”says Lee Gause from Smile Design Manhattan in New York. “If you only brush once a day, bacteria build up in the mouth and lead to bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease.”Of course, bad breath is just a minor misdemeanor compared to the real crime of what happens when you don’t brush your teeth twice a day.What happens when you don’t brush your teeth? Picture millions of bacteria trespassing on your teeth and gums. Whenever you eat foods or drinks with sugar in them, it leaves a sticky film of bacteria, called plaque. The bacteria in plaque creates acids that attack tooth enamel (牙釉质), and eventually the enamel breaks down, causing a little hole in the tooth.It doesn’t stop there. The bad guys of bacteria are a hardy bunch. “Brushing alone misses 75 percent of your mouth, leaving millions of germs behind,”says Gause. A three-step defense will protect your teeth and gums. “I recommend brushing, flossing, and swishing with mouth rinse twice a day.”Flossing helps remove food particles, but Gause says mouth rinse can help clear out hard to reach areas and penetrate plaque to break down its structure.Besides, brushing your teeth just once a day can lead to other serious problems, including gingivitis (牙龈炎), the milder form of periodontal (牙周的) disease. It causes havoc on your gums, leaving them red and swollen, not to mention the bleeding that you may see when you spit during brushing. With good behavior it is reversible.Stick with Dr. Gause’s advice that “brushing, flossing, and rinsing should be a part of every morning and evening routine.”1. What can cause bad breath according to the passage?A. Staying up too late at night.B. Not using floss or mouth rinse.C. Brushing teeth only once a day.D. Eating foods with sugar for breakfast.2. Which is the RIGHT process of causing little holes in the tooth?A. Eating food –leaving plaque –creating acids –attacking tooth enamel.B. Leaving plaque –eating food –attacking tooth enamel –creating acids.C. Creating acids –leaving plaque–eating food –attacking tooth enamel.D.Attacking tooth enamel –creating acid –eating food –leaving plaque.3. What can help clear out the areas in the mouth that are hard to reach?A. Brushing.B. Flossing.C. Rinsing.D. Drinking.4. What’s the purpose of the passage?A. To tell readers how to protect their teeth.B. To advise readers how to brush teeth correctly.C. To tell readers that bacteria are harmful to teeth.D. To tell readers that they should brush teeth twice a day.A【答案】1-4 CABB【解析】本文是一篇涵盖热点新闻的记叙文,讲述了冰雪奇缘第二部中插曲“Unmeltable Me”以及电影制作背后的故事。

新高考高二英语时文阅读专版特训(含原文翻译及经典解析)AMy parents and I lived upstairs over my aged and infirm paternal grandparents. All of ushelped make the grandparents’day-to-day lives as comfortable as possible. But Granny was gradually going blind and Gramps suffered from the effects of two strokes (中风).Granny’s mind was sharp. It was my job to help her with the daily newspaper’s crossword puzzle. It made no difference if I had studying or a date. I so often think of the fall when Granny got the chance to “be useful again.”Her niece had leased one of those lunch stands on the fairgrounds and she and her daughter would be staying in town during the week-long fair. Though Gran’s relatives would have little time to rest, they would need a place to stay. There was no spare room; what to do?Granny stumbled around, thinking all the help she could get, and before long the attached woodshed had been made into comfortable sleeping quarters for the two women. Granny would take in a few dollars for “putting up”her relatives, but the best was yet to come! Within a day or two, the two women got behind at the lunch stand, finding that simple sandwiches sold like hotcakes. Since they opened early, the fair employees themselves bought their breakfasts there, keeping the two women overly occupied.Near sightless she may have been, but Granny could do her part. I can see her now, standingfor hours with sandwich fixings and several varieties of bread neatly arranged on the clean table before her. After this week of hustle and bustle was over, Granny stated emphatically, “That was the best week I’ve had in years!”The lesson that memory brings back to me is that we all long for a chance to be “useful”, appreciated, and helpful as well. No matter what our circumstances, there’s usually a way to contribute and, as a reward, strengthen our self-images!1. What can we know from the passage?A. Granny was too old to be “useful”.B. Granny couldn’t see anything finally.C. The author’s grandparents were in bad health.D. Gramps enjoyed being busy at the lunch stand.2. What does the underlined phase “putting up”mean in paragraph 4?A.Accommodating.B. Cheating.C. EarningD. Building3. Why did Granny think it was the best week she had had in years?A. Because she found her value again in life.B. Because she made no difference to others.C. Because she had a chance to make money.D. Because she helped her husband’s relatives.4. What’s the author’s attitude towards Granny’s thought about being useful again?A. Indifferent.B. Negative.C. Positive.D. Not mentioned.【答案】1~4 CAAC【解析】】本文是一篇记叙文,通过记叙年迈的奶奶在自己的生活中不断寻找机会来实现自己的社会价值的例子,告诉我们:任何人,只要你愿意,都会有为社会做贡献,让自己被需要,被认可的机会。

Another 45 percent want to cut down on their phone use to help them feel more connected to their friends and family. Other goals people hope to achieve in the coming year include sorting out finances, joining a gym and taking steps to improve their sleep quality. Paying off debt, moving, changing their job, home improvements, and looking after mental health feature the top 10.The study also found three-quarters of Britons have set themselves a goal to achieve in 2020, with five each on average – though millions have 10 or more. This is up on 2019, when Brits set themselves just three goals to achieve – although most admit they did not get to all of them.And now the decade is coming to a close, fewer than a tenth have achieved all their goals for the last 10 years. As a result, more than a third do not ever set themselves targets for a year ahead – because that way, there is no fear of failing them.In fact, the research found one in three are optimistic that 2020 will be the year they finally achieve all of their current goals in life. While one in five adults set themselves goals to improvetheir physical health, 15 percent set them to make themselves mentally stronger. Interestingly, 28 percent set their goals just so they have something to work towards and give themselves some purpose.

01(2023·四川南充·统考一模)After serving as a backup crew member for 24 years, Chinese taikonaut Deng Qingming’s dream finally came true—he performed his first space mission onboard the Shenzhou XV spaceship along with two other astronauts on Nov. 29.Deng is the last one of the country’s first group of 14 astronauts to be sent into space. The name of Deng, 56 years old, was not known by many people until China launched the Shenzhou XIII spaceship in October last year. The story of the veteran (老战士) who relentlessly pursued his space dream despite serving as a backup for years moved many, and for which he was praised as a “hidden hero”.In 1996, Deng began to take part in the PLA Air Force’s selection of astronaut candidates and was finally selected with another 13 aviators. In the following years, Deng dedicated almost all of his time to training and has spared no efforts to strive for an opportunity to fly into space. He was a backup crew member for the Shenzhou IX, X and XI, XII missions.“Being a backup doesn’t mean you don’t need to work. I must watch closely in the control center and offer all I know about the mission and the spacecraft in case of emergency,” Deng said during a previous interview. “Only when the crew returns to Earth will my mission be complete”.When training for Shenzhou XI mission carried out in 2016, Deng was confined in a spacecraft simulator no bigger than 10 square meters for 33days. They had no showers and endured loud noise and piercing light as they tried to sleep.No matter how difficult the road to space flight is, Deng never once thought of giving up. He was awarded the title “Role Model of the Times” by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee in 2018.“Be it a crew or a backup, it is the job. And the success of the mission comes before my personal wishes,” Deng once said.1.What can we know about Deng Qingming?A.He belongs to the latest group of China’s astronauts.B.He will perform his first space mission onboard alone.C.His story wasn’t revealed to the public until last year.D.He was a backup crew member for no more than 20 years.2.What did Deng need to do as a backup?A.Test the spacecraft simulator and record the reaction.B.Give orders in the control center in case of emergency.C.Monitor astronauts’ training for on-coming space missions.D.Keep an eye on the on-going mission and provide assistance.3.Which words can best describe Deng?A.Determined and devoted.B.Creative and ambitious.C.Talented and distinguished.D.Hardworking and honest.4.What is the best title for the text?A.China’s Space Exploration Plan of This Year.B.Stay-at-home Taikonaut’s Dream Coming True.C.China’s Space Dream Deeply Rooted in Taikonauts.D.Shenzhou XV Spaceship Carrying Astronauts into Space.02(2023秋·湖南怀化·高三统考期末)The three astronauts on the Shenzhou XIV mission returned to Earth on Sunday evening after a six-month mission that completed the in-orbit assembly of the Tiangong space station.A re-entry capsule carrying the crew — Senior Colonel Chen Dong, the mission commander, Senior Colonel Liu Yang and Senior Colonel Cai Xuzhe — touched down on Earth at the Dongfeng Landing Site in northwestern China’s Gobi Desert at 8:09 p.m. after flying nearly nine hours in a re-entry orbit. This has become the first time that Chinese astronauts have returned to Earth at night. Ground recovery personnel soon opened the hatch (舱口) of the capsule and then conducted basic examination on the astronauts’condition. The crew members told them that they “are feeling very good.”After preparatory work, ground personnel carried out the astronauts one by one to place them onto chairs in front of the capsule. A lot of equipment used in the recovery operation had been added with additional cold-proof layers to resist against the chilly temperatures in the landing region, as low as minus 14 degrees Celsius. In their chairs, the astronauts shared their feelings with a group of domestic reporters, saying they are proud of the motherland and the country’s space programs. Then they were moved into special care vehicles to take health checks. Carrying Chen’s team, the Shenzhou XIV spacecraft separated from the Tiangong station at 11:01 a.m. on Sunday. On Friday evening, the Shenzhou XIV team handed over the control of the Tiangong station to the Shenzhou XV crew.Chen’s crew is the third group of visitors to the Chinese station, one of the largest pieces of infrastructure that mankind has ever arranged in Earth’s orbit. The three astronauts were launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the northwestern Gobi Desert on June 5 and arrived at Tiangong later that day.After the departure of Shenzhou XIV, the Tiangong station currently consists of the Tianhe core module, the Wentian and Mengtian lab modules, the Shenzhou XV spacecraft and the Tianzhou 5 cargo ship. The station is now manned by the Shenzhou XV mission crew — Major General Fei Junlong, Senior Colonel Deng Qingming and Senior Colonel Zhang Lu, who arrived on Wednesday.5.What can we know according to Paragraph 2?A.Chinese astronauts have returned to Earth at night before.B.The astronauts were in good condition when landing on the earth.C.One astronaut was still in the space station to continue the mission.D.Upon getting out of the capsule, the astronauts were rushed to hospital.6.What did ground personnel do first?A.They wrapped equipment with cold-proof layers.B.They carried out the astronauts from the capsule.C.They shared their feelings with domestic reporters.D.They sent the three astronauts to take health checks.7.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.Current situations of the Tiangong station.B.Problems faced by the Tiangong Station.C.New missions for the Shenzhou XV crew.D.Future arrangement of the Tiangong Station.8.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A.Entertainment.B.Health.C.Education.D.Science.03(2022·四川广安·广安二中校考一模)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内的单词的正确形式。

Another 45 percent want to cut down on their phone use to help them feel more connected to their friends and family. Other goals people hope to achieve in the coming year include sorting out finances, joining a gym and taking steps to improve their sleep quality. Paying off debt, moving, changing their job, home improvements, and looking after mental health feature the top 10.The study also found three-quarters of Britons have set themselves a goal to achieve in 2020, with five each on average – though millions have 10 or more. This is up on 2019, when Brits set themselves just three goals to achieve – although most admit they did not get to all of them.And now the decade is coming to a close, fewer than a tenth have achieved all their goals for the last 10 years. As a result, more than a third do not ever set themselves targets for a year ahead – because that way, there is no fear of failing them.In fact, the research found one in three are optimistic that 2020 will be the year they finally achieve all of their current goals in life. While one in five adults set themselves goals to improve their physical health, 15 percent set them to make themselves mentally stronger. Interestingly, 28 percent set their goals just so they have something to work towards and give themselves some purpose.

新高考高二英语时文阅读精练(含答案解析)

新高考高二英语时文阅读精练(含答案解析)AClimate protection and public health have striking similarities. The benefits of both can be enjoyed by everyone, even by individuals who do not contribute to the collective efforts to address these problems. If climate change slows down, both drivers of gas-guzzlers and electric cars will benefit — although the former did not help in climate efforts. Similarly, if the spread of Coronavirus is halted, individuals who refused to wash their hands, as well as the ones who washed them assiduously, will enjoy the restored normal life.Most countries have gotten their acts together, although behind time, on Coronavirus. Citizens also seem to be following the advice of public health officials. Could then the Coronavirus policy model be applied to climate change? We urge caution because these crises are different, which means that policies that worked well for Coronavirus might not be effective for climate change.Climate change is the defining crisis of our times. Floods, hurricanes, forest fires, and extreme weather events have become more frequent and severe over the years. Although climate change generates passionate discussions in big cities and university campuses, there is inadequate public call for immediate action. Some types of decarbonization policies are certainly in place. However, carbon-intensive lifestyles continue. This policy lethargy (无精打采) and behavioral inertia (惰性) are due to many reasons, including concerted opposition by the fossil fuel industry to deep decarbonization. But there are other reasons as well. Climate change is cumulative and does not have a quick onset. Its effects are not always immediate and visible. Many individuals probably do not see a clear link between their actions and the eventual outcome. This reduces the willingness to alter lifestyles and tolerate personal sacrifices for the collective good.In contrast, Coronavirus is forcing an immediate policy response and behavioral changes. Its causality is clear and its onset quick. Lives are at stake, especially in western countries. The stock markets are tanking, and the economy is heading towards a recession. Politicians recognize that waffling can lead to massive consequences, even in the short-term. Corona-skeptic President Trump has reversed course and declared a national emergency.1. What does the writer think climate protection and public health have in common?A. They can’t be influenced by what people do.B. They only benefit those who contribute to them.C. They usually punish those who do harm to them.D. They offer benefits to everyone whatever people do.2. Which word can take the place of the underlined word “assiduously”?A. Attentively.B. Absolutely.C. Abundantly.D. Alternatively.3. Why are people unwilling to change their carbon-intensive lifestyles?A. Because they think the climate is none of their business.B. Because they think what they do has no effect on the climate.C. Because they can’t see the quick result from what they do to the climate.D. Because they don’t clearly know how their lifestyles influence the climate.4. Which of the following does the author disagree with?A. President Trump had a skeptic attitude to coronavirus at first.B. Compared with climate change, coronavirus has a quick result.C. People are willing to change their lifestyles because of coronavirus.D. Many countries have responded to coronavirus quickly and effectively.【答案】1-4 DACD【解析】本文是说明文。

高二英语时文阅读精练(含答案解析)ACoronavirus survivors have spoken out about what it is like to contract the disease, which has infected more than 132,000 worldwide and killed over 5,000 people.As fears over the coronavirus pandemic spread, there’s one question that comes up again and again — how bad is it really? The severity of symptoms can vary dramatically, from a mild sniffle to a hellish feeling of suffocation.Here are some of the coronavirus patients' stories:Jaimuay Sae-ung, 73Jaimuay Sae-ung was the first Thai national to contract coronavirus, becoming ill in December. She experienced a fever and a bad cough, then developed pneumonia (肺炎) while in quarantine. After 10 days, Jaimuay’s condition had improved and she was eventually discharged following two negative test results.Carl Goldman, 67Carl Goldman, from Santa Clarita in California, was on the Diamond Princess cruise ship and later tested positive for coronavirus. He said the virus “hasn't been that bad”. He developed a fever and “a bit of a cough” during his flight back to America and was quarantined on his return. He said: “The sickest I've ever been was when I had bronchitis (支气管炎) several years ago. This has been much easier — no chills, no body aches. I breathe easily and I don't have a stuffy nose. “My chest feels tight and I have coughing spells. If I had been at home with similar symptoms, I probably would have gone to work as usual.” After having the illness for one month, Carl now has no symptoms, but is still testing positive.Marc Thibault, 48Teacher Marc, from Rhode Island, in the US, led a school field trip to Italy, France and Spain last month and was admitted to hospital on February 27, five days after he returned home. A week later he was diagnosed with coronavirus. He said the illness had hit him “like a hurricane”. Marc, a school vice principal, said: “You feel like you're asphyxiating, and you’re panicking because you can’t breathe. He added that he felt “one inch from death” and remains in intensive care.1. How much are the symptoms of the three coronavirus patients alike?A. Very similar.B. Lightly different.C. Extremely different.D. Exactly Same.2. Which can explain the underlined word “discharged” correctly?A. Isolated.B. Permitted.C. Dismissed.D. Released.3. Which statement is Right about the three people?A. Jaimuay was still in hospital though she has got negative test results.B. Carl Goldman has got infected on the Diamond Princess cruise ship.C. The school teacher Marc and his students have got infected in Italy.D. Carl Goldman has no symptoms and has been tested negative now.4. What does the author intend to show by writing the passage?A. The serious influence coronavirus has hadB. Ways to prevent oneself from being infectedC. Thoughts of people about the coronavirusD. The feelings of some infected people【答案】1-4 CDBD【解析】本文是说明文,主要为新冠肺炎病人对自己病症的描述。

新高考英语时文阅读精练(含中文翻译及答案解析)

新高考英语时文阅读精练(含中文翻译及答案解析)AThe new coronavirus (新冠病毒) is the third to have jumped from animals to humans in the 21st century. Here’s what we know about these modern viruses, how they have spread, and how public health systems have responded.A family of viruses that can also cause the common coldSARS, MERS, and Covid-19 are all infections caused by members of a group of viruses called coronaviruses. “Coronaviruses are a family of viruses which can cause a variety of diseases in humans and animals, typically illnesses related to breathing in humans,” explains S. Wesley Long. Three different coronaviruses cause up to a third of all cases of the common cold, he adds. Viruses that have never before been known to infect humans typically are more virulent, meaning they are more likely to make people sick. “When they make the jump to humans, our preexisting immunity (免疫力) is low,” explains Eric Cioe-Pena.Related but differentLike members of any extended family, MERS, SARS, and Covid-19 also have different personalities that affect how they behave in public. MERS had the highest death rate at about 35 percent, followed by SARS at 10 percent. So far, Covid-19 has the lowest death rate, currently estimated between 2 and 3 percent, says Dr. Long. But Covid-19 is transmitted between humans much more efficiently than either SARS or MERS, which helps explain why it has traveled so much faster than its two modern predecessors.What have we learned?Any new epidemic will disrupt public health systems, no matter how complicated. There are just too many unknowns. Covid-19 is moving so fast that public health officials are struggling to keep testing guidelines up to date. While researchers are making progress toward a vaccine (疫苗), we’re at least a year away from having one ready for public use. Some of the most basic strategies are still the most effective. Isolating sick patients at home, closing schools, and limiting travel can help slow the spread.1. What kind of disease can the coronavirus cause?A. Heart disease.B. Lung disease.C. Skin disease.D. Liver disease.2. What does the underlined word “virulent” mean?A. Deadly.B. Mild.C. Universal.D. Controllable.3. What is special about Covid-19?A. It can spread very quickly.B. Its death rate is the highest.C. It has the fewest infections.D. It is caused by coronavirus.4. What can we learn from the text?A. The vaccine can be put into use immediately.B. The virus will reduce the human body immunity.C. Human beings have a complete grasp of this virus.D. The three viruses have exactly the same characteristics.BThe Study Finding of Unused Drug DisposalAs of April 2019, 70% of the U.S. population now lives less than five miles from a permanent① drug disposal② collection site – however, most people are unaware of recommended disposal methods available within their communities or have not disposed of unused prescription③opioids in the past.In response to additional provisions④in legislation from 2018, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) was required to study proper disposal of unused pharmaceuticals⑤, particularly in relation to how patients dispose of unused prescription medications.In the study, the GAO found that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Drug Enforcement⑥Administration (DEA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) all recommend that patients dispose of unused prescription opioids by bringing them to DEA-registered collection sites or a DEA take back event. You can easily find registered⑦controlled substance public disposal locations using this resource from the U.S. Diversion Control Division.The GAO also recommended mail back methods as another solution for managing unwanted prescription drugs. For example, pre-paid medication envelopes can be distributed to patients and then discreetly⑧ shipped to an incineration⑨ location for proper disposal. Many of the solutions recommended in the study are services Stericycle Environmental Solutions already provides; our award-winning consumer drug take back solutions includes medication collection kiosks and Seal&Send medication mail back envelopes.If your local p harmacy, hospital or law enforcement office doesn’t have a year-round drug take back option available, mark the next Take Back Day (Oct. 26, 2019) on your calendar.CAs scientific meetings are cancelled worldwide, researchers are rethinking how they network—a move that should have done earlier. “At some point, we need to be having conversations about ‘What is the point of a conference now?’” says Sarah Hörst, a planetary (行星) scientist.Meeting spaces that are inaccessible (难以达到的) to some disabled scientists, health considerations, a lack of access to childcare and travel restrictions can all end up alienating (疏远) potential attendees from physical conferences. There’s a “large appetite” for alternative (可替代的) conference set-ups, says Divya Persaud, a planetary scientist. She and Eleanor Armstrong, a UCL sociologist of space science, have a grant from their university to hold an experimental virtual conference, called Space Science in Context, in May. The conference aims to improve accessibility. Participants will watch recorded talks ahead of time and then join in online conversations on the day of the conference. Persaud says that the response to plans for the meeting, which launched its save-the-date website last week, has been overwhelmingly positive. But she also points out that many of the adjustments that conferences are making — such as introducing virtual participation — are accommodations for which disabled scientists have been demanding loudly for years, and it’s a shame that it took a global health crisis to make them happen.Still, as conference organizers are finding out, making these changes — especially on short notice — is no easy thing. The European Geophysical Union (EGU) general conference is scheduled for 3–8 May in Vienna, and session leaders are making other plans in case it is cancelled. Those intending to participate in the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference this weekin The Woodlands, Texas, found that they are trying to come up with alternative solutions when that conference was cancelled on 4 March. “Most of the responses were just ‘Well, have the conference online,’” says Hörst.1.Which of the following is NOT a potential attendee?A.Scientists without visas.B.Scientists who are not feeling well.C.Scientists with physical disabilities.D.Scientists who don’t understand childcare.2.What is the public’s attitude towards online conference?A.Uncertain.B. Supportive.C. Disappointed.D. Dissatisfied.3. Why does the second paragraph take Space Science in Context as an example?A. To show that modern technology can realize conference online.B. To prove that virtual conferences can make more people involved.C. To praise the conference organizing ability of these two scientists.D. To emphasize that the previous physical meetings were unsuccessful.4. Where would this passage most probably appear?A. In a guidebook for tourists.B. In a weekly story magazine.C. In science channel of a website.D. On the front page of a newspaper.DThe New Dinner and a MovieDinner and a movie was a two-part affair. But increasingly, the two have merged into①a single experience, allowing moviegoers to get fries and a beer while they watch the latest superhero blockbuster②. Full-service theaters have become a Friday-night pastime as American as well, going to the movies.Dine-in cinemas are not altogether new. In the late 1980s, brothers Mike and Brian McMenamin opened one in Portland, Ore. A decade later, inspired by the McMenamins, Tim and Karrie League began pairing trendy beer with hits like The Craft at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin. But in recent years, the trend has expanded from niche to mainstream. There are now 29 Alamo locations nationwide, from Omaha to El Paso.Full-service theaters appeal to③ a broader, more regionally diverse customer base. At Movie Tavern in Roswell, Ga., for instance, you can order popcorn shrimp and a “Jumbo Jar” margarita while watching Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. AMC, the biggest U.S. movie-theater company, launched Dine-In, where meals can be ordered with the push of a button. IPic Theaters offers something akin④ to a first-class flying experience,minus the turbulence: leather reclining chairs and a menu developed by a James Beard Award-winning chef.The rise in full-service moviegoing coincides with⑤ declining ticket sales across the industry more broadly. North American movie attendance in 2017 plunged to⑥what appears to be a 27-year low. The downward tendency is the continuation of a 15-year trend. Between the glut⑦ of uninspired reboots hitting theaters, younger audiences choosing to consume content on their s martphones and the dramatic rise in the popularity of streaming, it’s no wonder⑧that theater owners are seeking creative ways to lure customers off their couches. It’s working: despite a 2% decline in movie attendance over four years, AMC Dine-In achieved 4% growth in just two.Full-service theaters are not without their detractors⑨. Some prefer to eat post-movie for a chance to discuss what they’ve just watched. And others want to eat before watching the movies. Many people find that they will be hungry i f they don’t eat anything before watching the movies. So it’s very hard for every person to enjoy it.But for those with the funds, the full-service theater offers reason enough to quit online movies.EHow big should a business team be? It is an enormously important issue for companies. Teams that are too small may lack the skills required to get the job done; teams that are too bigmay be impossible to co-ordinate.Startups are often short of staff. The founders must play a host of different roles, from obtaining finance to product development and marketing, for which they may not be equally suited. But the upside is that they can have highly collaborative working environments.People who have worked for startups say the culture changes when the company reaches a certain size. Patty McCord, formerly of Netflix, referred to the “stand-on-a-chair number”—the biggest group that can easily hear the boss address them.Robin Dunbar, an anthropologist at Oxford University, has done a lot of work on groups. His argument is that the size of the group is linked to the size of the brain. With their large brains, humans can cope with larger bands. A larger social group has many advantages, allowing for greater protection and specialization.Whereas 150 is sometimes referred to as the “Dunbar number” (邓巴数), the academic himself in fact refers to a range of figures. He observes that humans tend to have five intimate friends, 15 or so good friends, around 50 social friends and 150-odd acquaintances.Small work teams may also tend towards these two size ranges. “If you want a committee to decide something, limit it to four to five people,” says Mr Dunbar. “But to brainstorm in a meeting, you need 12-15.” Many companies use “agile” teams which draw employees from across the company; they tend to have between five and nine members.The modern company may settle on a model with a small group of “core” workers and a larger group of contract workers. The result may be more cohesion within the core staff but the non-core staff may be less well treated. The small core teams may work effectively. The big question will be the effect on morale of those outside those teams.1. What is the probable disadvantage of large company?A. Hard to co-ordinate.B. Lack of protection.C. Impossible to specialization.D. Less communication.2. What does “stand-on-a-chair number” mean in Paragraph 3?A. The number of people who stand on the chair.B. The largest group who can have a talk with boss easily.C. The fewest people that company should hire.D. The most members that company can manage efficiently.3. How many people does Mr Dunbar suggest to be in the group if the boss wants a brainstorm?A. 5.B. 14.C. 50.D. 150.4. What is the best title for the text?A. The Advantages of Big CompanyB. The Advantages of Small CompanyC. The Modern Company ModeD. The Best Number of Workers for CompanyA【答案】1-4 BAAB【解析】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了21世纪从动物传染给人类的三种病毒(SARS, MERS 和Covid-19)的相关知识。

新高考赢在阅读高二英语时文阅读专版(含原文翻译及答案解析)AJosh Gad's Olaf showed insanely hot skills singing "Unmeltable Me" for "Frozen II". But the hilarious (欢闹的) tune never made it into the animated hit: It was cut from the movie after his vocals were recorded and storyboards had been drawn up. The missing: “Unmeltable Me”is revealed now at , ahead of the home release of “Frozen II”, which features the deleted scene as an extra.The ditty was the first song written for the sequel. The new song features Gad's Olaf singing style, playing harpsichord (羽管键琴) accompaniment. The instrument was requested by directors for comedic reasons. The harpsichord arrangement made it funny and different. The filmmakers originally wanted “Unmeltable Me”to explain an important story point –why Olaf no longer needed the magical “flurry”cloud Elsa had created at the end of "Frozen" to keep the snowman from melting in warm weather.Creating the flurry effect was so difficult for the animators that the directors decided Elsa would have perfected a permafrost coating for Olaf by the second movie. The scene features Olaf doing just about everything to show off his new permafrost coating, from sticking a lit candle into his head to placing his head in a Sterno-heated buffet tray.Olaf's audience in the scene is a group of dignitaries who have traveled to Arendelle from around the world to meet the powerful Elsa at a state dinner. Elsa and Anna are held up, so Olaf fills time entertaining the assembled guests with the song. Sadly, “Unmeltable Me”was cut before it could be fully animated.Gad’s Olaf still received his big song in “Frozen 2”singing “When IAm Older”happily.“Unmeltable Me' is definitely fun, but that’s show business,”says Lopez, who especially loves how Olaf ends the song on an unusual high note.1. What can we learn from the song “Unmeltable Me”in the first paragraph?A. The song “Unmeltable Me”was sung by Elsa.B. The song can make this movie into a animated hit.C. The song was created for the movie.D. The song was recorded in the movie at last.2. What does the underlined word “revealed”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Show.B. Hide.C. Create.D. Delete.3. What is the purpose of using permafrost coating?A. To entertain the audience.B. To prevent Olaf from melting.C. To make the movie funny.D. To explain show business.4. What can we know from the passage?A. This movie is directed by Josh Gad.B. Olaf likes his new permafrost coating.C. Josh Gad’s attitude is passive because his song was cut from the movie.D. The scene of the song is not mentioned in the article.BGoogle’s Search Engine Can Recommend Your Favorite Shows and MoviesGoogle wants to help smartphone users find new (and old) favorite TV shows and movies to watch.The Mountain View, Calif.-based tech giant announced an update on Thursday for its search engine on mobile, which will serve U.S. users with personalized TV and film recommendations across different streaming services.Here’s how to get started: Mobile users who visit or Google’s search app simply have to type in a phrase including “what to watch”or “good shows to watch.”Google then serves up the names of TV shows and film titles across different genres, from somewhat older titles, like Desperate Housewives and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to more recent releases, including Disney’s live-action Aladdin and Avengers: Endgame. Then, Tinder style, users will swipe to “Like”or“Dislike”them.Once that’s done, users pick which streaming services they subscribe to, including Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, and others, and the search engine will serve up recommendations based on their tastes.Google’s latest update may seem minor, but it’s welcome in an age when consumers are inundated with①streaming services, each with thousands of titles to watch.It’s also incredibly timely. Over the next 12 months, consumers will find themselves wading through②loads of new options for streaming service subscriptions and content.Apple is expected to debut its long-awaited Apple TV+ service this fall, with at least 34original series and five movies, including The Morning Show, a drama starring Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Steve Carell, and Dickinson, a comedic take on Poet Emily Dickinson’s Life, starring True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld.Disney, meanwhile, plans on rolling out Disney Plus on Nov. 12 for $6.99 a month, or $12.99as part of a larger bundle that includes Hulu and ESPN+. The Burbank, Calif.-based entertainment giant has been more forthcoming about its service in more recent months, promising a day one launch featuring more than 300 available movies and 7,500 TV episodes. Original shows in the works include the live-action Star Wars spin-off③The Mandalorian, a Star Wars Obi Wan Kenobi series with Ewan McGregor, and a revival of the teen sitcom Lizzie McGuire, starring Hilary Duff.CThe CDC defines an epidemic as “an increase, often sudden, in the number of cases of a disease above what is normally expected in that population in that area.”The official definition of a pandemic is “an outbreak of disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects an high proportion of the population,”according to Merriam-Webster. In other words, a serious and sudden outbreak of disease would start out as an epidemic, but some may then escalate to pandemic once the disease has spread across countries or continents.The first major flu-related pandemic was the Russian Flu, which traveled around the world inthe late 1800s. An outbreak of the Spanish Flu followed roughly 20 years later. The mostwell-known pandemic in recent modern history was HIV which was first identified in the early 1980s. Famous epidemics in U.S. history include the spread of smallpox (天花) in the 1600s, scarlet fever in the 1800s, polio throughout a big chunk of the early to mid–20th century, and several waves of measles outbreaks. These outbreaks didn’t reach pandemic level because they occurred within one country or a region of it. Despite the differences between an epidemic and a pandemic, the fact of the matter is that you can get very sick from either one—and the effects can be devastating to entire communities.Many countries have devised pandemic plans that help officials respond quickly when an outbreak occurs. Often, the focus is on mitigation —containing the outbreak through quarantine and immediate treatment —and deploying critical resources to affected populations. In the United States, the CDC has developed a national pandemic influenza plan that outlines the response plan for flu-related illnesses. One element of the plan is “community mitigation,”or trying to keep the illness contained to a limited area. Recommended strategies include frequent hand washing, sanitizing surfaces and electronic gadgets that are used often, diligent cleaning procedures, and staying home when you feel sick.1. Which one can replace the underlined word in the third paragraph?A. Keeping cleaning.B. Reducing seriousness.C. Receiving treatment.D. Working voluntarily.2. Which is NOT the actual case of pandemic?A. Russian Flu.B. HIV.C. Spanish Flu.D. Smallpox.3. What can we know about pandemic and epidemic according to the passage?A.An epidemic will become a pandemic if it is not controlled in time.B. They both don’t result in too serious health issues.C. Pandemic is occurred in a smaller area compared to epidemic.D. They both don’t lead to devastating effects on many countries.4. What measures can people take to cut the transmission of pandemic?A. Believe in yourself and keep a good mentality.B. Stay at home and isolate yourself when you feel sick.C. Take medicine without consulting or going to professional hospitals.D. Clean your hands or electronic gadgets once in a while.DGEF announces new investment in Central America's blue economyAt the Our Ocean conference in Oslo, the head of the Global Environment Facility announced a $6.8 million contribution from the GEF Trust Fund to help seven countries across Central America jointly①assess opportunities and challenges from the blue economy along their Pacific coasts. The financing will help Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico,and Panama analyze and develop action plans to work together on coastal and marine ecosystems, along the lines of transboundary (跨界) initiatives②the GEF has supported elsewhere in Latin America through its International Waters work program.“We strongly support this science-based effort to identify threats and opportunities for Central America’s Pacific coastal areas, and see it as a model that can be replicated③in other regions,”said Naoko Ishii, GEF CEO and Chairperson. “It is essential that we jointly sustain④healthy coastal and marine ecosystems in support of economic and environmental goals including the preservation of biodiversity. We are pleased to support this effort to inform policy priority-setting and encourage collaboration where it is urgently needed.”The GEF’s International Waters work program brings together 156 developing countries and24 donor⑤countries to jointly manage transboundary water resources and support a sustainable blue economy. GEF-supported projects in this area aim to increase coordination between sectors ⑥such as tourism, renewable energy production, fisheries, aquaculture (水产养殖), and coastaldevelopment in pursuit of economic and environmental goals.The new Central American project, to be enforced by the UN Development Program (UNDP),is designed to help assess the socioeconomic and ecological opportunities and challenges related to the blue economy, which stretch beyond national borders. It will include scientific analysis of pollution, degradation⑦of coastal and marine habitats, fisheries activity, and climate change in the area, and set out strategies to jointly address these challenges.The GEF has previously supported similar collaborative efforts in 23 large marine ecosystems worldwide, including the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, and the Humboldt Current.Lessons from those projects, as well as GEF initiatives in East Asia and other coastal areas, inform the design of the new venture.In addition to the blue economy, GEF International Waters financing also supports conservation and sustainability on the high seas and enhancing security of freshwater ecosystems such as shared groundwater and lakes and river basins. Countries participating in GEF projects have negotiated and agreed on numerous regional cooperation frameworks, treaties, and protocols.EHere’s what happens to your mouth, teeth, and gums –beyond stinky morning breath –when you miss recommended brushings. Think of your toothbrush, floss, and mouth rinse (漱口水) as the good guys of oral health care. The bad guys are bacteria. “Bacteria thrive on food left on or in between teeth, and it grows at lightning speed,”says Lee Gause from Smile Design Manhattan in New York. “If you only brush once a day, bacteria build up in the mouth and lead to bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease.”Of course, bad breath is just a minor misdemeanor compared to the real crime of what happens when you don’t brush your teeth twice a day.What happens when you don’t brush your teeth? Picture millions of bacteria trespassing on your teeth and gums. Whenever you eat foods or drinks with sugar in them, it leaves a sticky film of bacteria, called plaque. The bacteria in plaque creates acids that attack tooth enamel (牙釉质), and eventually the enamel breaks down, causing a little hole in the tooth.It doesn’t stop there. The bad guys of bacteria are a hardy bunch. “Brushing alone misses 75 percent of your mouth, leaving millions of germs behind,”says Gause. A three-step defense will protect your teeth and gums. “I recommend brushing, flossing, and swishing with mouth rinse twice a day.”Flossing helps remove food particles, but Gause says mouth rinse can help clear out hard to reach areas and penetrate plaque to break down its structure.Besides, brushing your teeth just once a day can lead to other serious problems, including gingivitis (牙龈炎), the milder form of periodontal (牙周的) disease. It causes havoc on your gums, leaving them red and swollen, not to mention the bleeding that you may see when you spit during brushing. With good behavior it is reversible.Stick with Dr. Gause’s advice that “brushing, flossing, and rinsing should be a part of every morning and evening routine.”1. What can cause bad breath according to the passage?A. Staying up too late at night.B. Not using floss or mouth rinse.C. Brushing teeth only once a day.D. Eating foods with sugar for breakfast.2. Which is the RIGHT process of causing little holes in the tooth?A. Eating food –leaving plaque –creating acids –attacking tooth enamel.B. Leaving plaque –eating food –attacking tooth enamel –creating acids.C. Creating acids –leaving plaque–eating food –attacking tooth enamel.D.Attacking tooth enamel –creating acid –eating food –leaving plaque.3. What can help clear out the areas in the mouth that are hard to reach?A. Brushing.B. Flossing.C. Rinsing.D. Drinking.4. What’s the purpose of the passage?A. To tell readers how to protect their teeth.B. To advise readers how to brush teeth correctly.C. To tell readers that bacteria are harmful to teeth.D. To tell readers that they should brush teeth twice a day.A【答案】1-4 CABB【解析】本文是一篇涵盖热点新闻的记叙文,讲述了冰雪奇缘第二部中插曲“Unmeltable Me”以及电影制作背后的故事。

新高考英语时文阅读高二年级专版(含答案解析及原文翻译)ASwitch up the mealtime routine with lamb, a delicious, healthy alternative to chicken or beef.We ustralians love lamb. Relatively easy to cook, lamb is succulent and moist when prepared properly and marries well with different flavors and fresh produce. And lamb can really hold its own with spices. While rosemary is a classic seasoning for lamb, oregano and the Moroccan spice harissa are equally great counterparts to pair with different cuts.When shopping for lamb, look at the color of the meat, which should be rosy. Avoid any cutswith a brownish tinge. The fat should be creamy white and firm and dry to the touch. It is important to buy the cut suitable for the recipe you have in mind.During preparation, grilling, broiling, and roasting meat tends to reduce fat; frying anythingis less healthy. Overcooking is the most fatal mistake home chefs make. Dry meat is a buzzkill. Break out your meat thermometer —the perfect temperature for medium rare doneness is 130F.Always allow the meat to rest after cooking and before serving —30 minutes for a leg of lamb; those precious juices keep the meat moist.I balance the richness of lamb with fresh seasonal vegetables like fresh peas or a side salad. Roasted Leg of Lamb Encased in Rosemary makes a great presentation at a holiday or dinner party.Simple and light,Arugula and Shallot Salad is the perfect companion to roasted lamb.Roasted Leg of Lamb Encased in Rosemary(Makes 10 servings)●20 large branches fresh long-stemmed rosemary●1 4 ½-pound semi-boneless leg of lamb (hip bone removed)●2 tablespoons olive oil, divided●4 garlic cloves, finely chopped●2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest●9 24-inch-long strands of kitchen twineFresh Mint Sauce:●1 cup (not packed) fresh mint leaves●1/2 cup red wine vinegar●1/2 cup water●2 tablespoons raw sugar1. What shouldn’t fresh lamb look like?A. The color of the meat should be rosy.B. The fat should be creamy white.C. The fat should be firm and dry to the touch.D. Its cuts should be with a brownish tinge.2. What mistakes professional chefs usually don't make?A. Broiling lamb.B. Overcooking lamb.C. Grilling lamb.D. Frying lamb.3. What kind of food does the author usually use to balance the richness of mutton?A. Dessert.B. Fresh meat.C. Pepper.D. Vegetables or salad.4. Where is this passage most likely from?A. Adairy.B.Aguidebook.C.A novel.D.Amagazine.【答案】1~4 DBDB【解析】本文是一篇应用文,介绍了做迷迭香烤羊腿所应做的准备。

1. 细节理解题。

根据第二段第一句“When shopping for lamb, look at the color of the meat, which should be rosy.”可知,新鲜的羊肉颜色应该是红润的,不选A;根据第二段第三句“The fat should be creamy white...”可知,新鲜的羊肉脂肪应该是乳白色的,不选B;根据第二段第三句“...firm and dry to the touch”可知新鲜的羊肉摸起来结实,且肉是干的,不选C;再根据第二段第二句“Avoid any cuts with a brownish tinge.”可知,买羊肉应避免任何带褐色的切口,说明不新鲜,故选D。

2. 推理判断题。

根据第三段第二句“Overcooking is the most fatal mistake home chefs make.”可知,烹调过度是家庭厨师最致命的错误,由此推测,专业厨师一般不会犯这样的错误,故选B。

3. 细节理解题。

根据最后一段第一句“I balance the richness of lamb with fresh seasonal vegetables like fresh peas or a side salad.”可知,作者常用新鲜的时令蔬菜来平衡羊肉的肥腻,如新鲜豌豆或沙拉,故选D。

4. 文章来源题。

本文主要介绍了选羊肉的注意事项及介绍了迷迭香烤羊腿应做哪些准备工作,再审视选项,可推测本文最有可能来自指导类书籍,故选B。
