全国百所名校2023年高考英语备考一轮复习资料七选五专练题组汇编(一)姓名:班级:得分:A(难度:❤❤❤)When reading Jack Reacher’s novel, I noticed that he would often answer questions with silence. It was very powerful indeed.___1___For some people, silence comes naturally. But there are quite a few of us who need to learn the art of practicing silence. Read on for more reasons to try silence in your daily communications.Silence gets people’s attentionIf you have ever been in a classroom, you have most likely experienced how silence often gets everyone’s attention. When the teacher stops talking, a signal goes to the brain that something has happened.___2__The same is true in our daily conversations. If we fall silent. people will notice it and we gain their attention.Silence uses body languageOften our body language is a more powerful way of communicating than what comes out of our mouth._3____The ability to understand and use body language is a powerful tool that can help you connect with others, express what you really mean, and build better relationships.Silence offers sympathy (同情) for othersThere are times in life when silence offers sympathy and understanding to others. Sometimes we simply don’t have the right words to communicate to someone who is struggling with a hurtful or painful situation. But we can still show them that we care and we are there for them.___4___ Silence is polite____5___From radio broadcasts, news channels, stores to the constant chatter of people around us. So when we do get the chance to talk, we usually feel like we have to fill every thought into a short period of time. However, when we are silent we give others a chance to speak. We show them that they matter.A.We can offer comfort by our calming silence.B.The silence often left the other person puzzled.C.To comfort them, you may tell them a similar painful situation.D.Often the other person would quickly get the needed answer in silence.E.Our facial expressions, eye contact, and even tone of voice speak the loudest.F.We live in a society where we are fighting with so many sources of information.G.All of a sudden you pay attention and wonder why communication has stopped.B(难度:❤❤❤)When you’re behind the wheel, distractions (分心) cost lives. Nevertheless, drivers takeselfies, and respond to text messages. ____1___Smartphones are often at the root of these tragedies. As Big Tech sets its sights on modern vehicles, it’s appropriate to ask if it’s time to limit attention-stealing technology that distracts the driver.Big Tech wants to take on the automotive industry. And it is good at grabbing both attention and information from users. At first, the goal of these technology companies was to give away services at no cost, simply to attract a customer base. ___2__ Their increasing thirst for valuable user information has led them to the automotive industry, where a whole new world of data awaits. Location data, frequent destinations, passenger preferences — such data is found in family cars. ___3___Mobile tech is walled off from vehicle operating systems by software that keeps infotainment (information and entertainment) features away from the mission-critical driving electronics. If auto makers give up their core operating system to tech powerhouses, they will essentially become hardware suppliers to Silicon Valley.___4___ Their responsibility is to keep attention on the road, providing vehicle information and a small amount of entertainment options while getting passengers from place to place as safely as possible. Smartphone makers and digital-media providers don’t have this priority. They want eyes on their products, not on the road.With electric vehicles transforming the auto industry, and artificial intelligence more common than ever, we’re at a dangerous moment. ____5___ Because their hardware is wrapped around families, they have a duty to keep them safe. The only way they can do that is to maintain control of the driver’s seat.The quality, safety and security will make or break trust in auto makers. Without it, cars will be simply one more intrusive and risky mobile device.A.Car companies have priorities opposed to those of Big Tech.B.Now they exist to sell information about their users to advertisers.C.They enjoy the convenience and fun brought by modern technology.D.Car makers are, and should be, the most trusted technology companies in the world. E.Currently video-streaming services are starting to be built into car operating systems. F.And operating systems and autonomous-driving software are all gateways for this information. G.Statistics show that an average of eight people a day die in accidents caused by distracted driving.C(难度:❤❤❤)Some ways to help and protect wildlifeThere are more than 7 billion people on Earth. Imagine what will happen if every one of us is willing to do one thing — no matter how small — to protect wildlife every day. ___1__. Here are some ways to help and protect wildlife.___2__Take a walk and see and enjoy the wildlife all around you — the birds, reptiles and small and large mammals (哺乳动物).

Share your passion for wildlife conservation (保护) with your family. Tell your friends how they can help. Ask everyone you know to stop illegal wildlife trade, wild animals used for entertainment, and much more.Pick up litterPicking up litter can save the life of an animal.

So you’ve planned to go to the gym after work? “I’ll go tomorrow, I promise.” ___1___ Here are some tips for getting yourself to hit the gym after a tiresome workday, offered by Women’s Health magazine:___2__Why not change the “Keep calm and carry on” poster to some inspirationalshape-up-messages around your workplace? If you think “No pains, no gains” is too ordinary, how about “And though she may be but little, she is fierce.”? When your colleagues ask about it, tell them the quote is from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.Eat breakfast.Even though it’s hours before your trip to the gym, having a balanced breakfast will keep you energized throughout the rest of the day.___3___Eat a little lunch.No matter what you’re eating, if you have too much of it, your blood sugar is going to rise rapidly and then drop back down. ___4__ Try to avoid foods with refined carbohydrates or lots of sugar. Keeping your blood sugar steady will stabilize your energy, help you get more done, and feel awake enough to make it to the gym.Set the goal really low.____5__And once you’re at the gym, you might think: “Well, I could probably stay just a little longer.” Also remember, some HIIT (high intensity interval training) workouts are short but very effective.

We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator(冰箱)。
We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don't feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature.

The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury ( or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts(收缩). That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube。

AFour habits to live a happier lifeHaving a happier life is something we all always struggle for, and being happy includes so many aspects — mental, physical and spiritual — of our lives. One of the key principles of having a happier life is to always do things that bring us happiness. 1Consider the following habits to improve your life and make it as happy as you possibly can.Praise others.Be kind to others, like praising them. 2 Don't be afraid to tell people how great they look, or how awesome their smile is. It'll do them good, and do you good too!Focus on the present moment.Take some time every day to focus on the present moment. 3 Try not to think about negative past experiences and hug the time you have now. You'll soon find that even theslightest thing that you do at this moment can bring about happiness for many hours and days to come.Learn to control your emotions.4 And it's definitely not worth the emotions. Don't compromise on your happiness just because someone is trying to pick a fight. Just let it go (不要理会) and be happier.5Just before you go to bed, write down at least one wonderful thing that happened. It might be something as small as a child's laugh or something as huge as a million-dollar deal. Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again.A. End each day with thankfulness.B. Of course, everyone loves to be happy.C. It is the only certain time we have in our life.D. It can make people happy and give them confidence.E. It's not worth the argument when your partner is testing your patience.F. So it is important to develop the right habits to ensure we live a happier life.G. Try to set aside a few hours a day, doing something fun to make yourself happy.BDo women talk more than men? 1 According to the latest research from the United States of America, men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate. Professor Deborah Tannen, of Georgetown University, has noticed differences in the style of boys' and girls' conversations from an early age. According to her study, little girls' conversation is less clear than boys' and expresses more doubts. 2These differences will continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more than women do. In private conversations, men and women speak in almost equal amounts. 3 Professor Tannen believes that, for women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy (亲密). For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure (结构) of a relationship.4 “When a woman teaches another woman,” says Professor Tannen, “she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in. When a man teaches a woman, however, he wants to show that he has more knowledge and power in conversation.5 ”Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is preprogrammed for language. As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual bias (偏向) in its programming; otherwise, male speech patterns would not arise at all.A. And he uses his language to show this.B. Do men talk in the same way as women?C. However, they say things in a different style.D. Women are far more silent than men in public conversations.E. Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.F. More women are encouraged to help each other, talking about their doubts.G. Teaching is one job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show.CThe exciting game of footballFootball is one of the most popular sports in the US. 1 That kind involves kicking a round ball into a net and is called soccer in North America. American football, however, uses a ball that is pointy (尖的) on both ends. While it does include some kicking, there is more throwing and catching involved.In football, there are 11 players from each team on the field at one time. Each team tries to move the ball across the opposing team's goal line to score. The quarterback (四分卫) throws the ball, and the person who catches it tries to run past the opposing team's players. The way to stop someone running with the ball is to tackle him. That means hitting right against him and trying to knock him down to the ground. 2The biggest professional football organization in the US is the National Football League (NFL). The NFL championship game is called the Super Bowl, and it is one of the most watched television events around the globe. 3 For example, millions of toilets are flushed (冲洗) at the same time during half-time. Also, 14,500 tons of chips are consumed during the game.Most sports fans are happy with just sitting in the stands and cheering on their teams. 4 They dress themselves in their team's colors. Some of the excitement happens before the games even begin. Fans gather and hang out in the parking lots outside the stadiums and have huge parties. 5 There are also endless amounts of sodas and beers. All of these combined with the game itself make football one huge and popular social event.A. However, it isn't the game of football played in other parts of the world.B. As a result, professional players have to be strong and quick.C. It is an exciting sport that can sometimes get pretty rough.D. There are many amazing facts about the Super Bowl.E. It is also the wealthiest sports league in the world.F. Everything from sandwiches to chips is served.G. For some, that is not enough.DThere are a number of tips that you can follow to help you find a job that suits your personality.List your strong and weak pointsBefore you start your job search, take some time to think about your strong and weak points. 1 If you are excellent at managing your time, for example, a job in project management, or one that involves organising others, could be perfect.Ask others for their opinionsAlthough you should know yourself better than anyone else, there are times when a second opinion is needed. 2 They may come up with ideas that you haven't considered.You should, however, make sure that they aren't so protective of you that they persuade you not to push yourself, or encourage you so much that you aim too high.Find out what potential jobs involve3 Make sure you do as much research as possible to determine exactly what you will have to do. An office job may sound very safe if you are shy, but if you then find that you have to give regular presentations, you may not be cut out for it after all.4When looking for a job, many people have an idea of what they would like to be in the future. However, that is often little more than a dream and, even if it is possible to reach that goal, it may involve years of hard work that you don't enjoy. 5 If you can find a job that mirrors what makes you happy in life, then the chances are that you will enjoy it and it will match your personality type.A. Take a personality testB. Consider what delights youC. Think about what makes you happy and then analyse why.D. Finding a job that suits your personality is very important.E. Ask your friends and family what sort of job they think would suit you best.F. Sometimes, it isn't immediately obvious what a job will involve until you start it.G. More importantly, think about how they would affect your ability to do particular jobs.答案A 1-5 FDCEAB 1-5 BECGAC 1-5 ABDGFD 1-5 GEFBC解析A篇(日常活动)本文是说明文。

There should be enough room in the tent for the camping equipment.2 .Importance of foodWhile camping, you will need enough food to give you enough energy for your outdoor work. 3 .You should use a two burner stove to do all your cooking. Insist on simplicity in cooking and use vegetables and ready-made food during your trip to minimize cooking time.Adequate sleep4 .

For example, if a wife “leads her husband by the nose”, she makes him do whatever she wants him to do.2 They will not change their opinions or positions on anything. If someone is “hard-nosed”, chances are that he will never “pay through the nose”, or pay too much money for an object or service.It is always helpful when people “keep their nose out of other people's business”. They do not interfere(干涉). The opposite o f this is someone who “noses around” all the time. 3 He is considered “nosey”. Someone who “keeps his nose to the grindstone(旋转磨石)” works very hard. This can help a worker “keep his nose clean” or stay out of trouble.One unusual expression is “that is no skin off my nose”. This means that a situation does not affect or concern me. We also say that sometimes a person “cuts off his nose to spite his face”. That is, he makes a situation worse for himself by doing something foolish because he is angry. More problems can develop if a person “looks down his nose” at someone or something. 4 This person might also “turn up his nose” at something that he considers not good enough. This person thinks he is better than everyone else. He “has his nose in the air”.5 They refuse to obey orders or do any work. Maybe these students do not know the correct answers. My mother always told me, if you study hard, the answers should be “right under your nose” or easily seen.A. This kind of person is interested in other people's private matters.B. In school, some students “thumb their nose” at their teacher.C. The nose also has a lot of other functions.D. Some people are said to be “hard-nosed”.E. The nose is also used in many popular expressions.F. He is interested in things that concern his work.G. The person acts like something is unimportant or worthless.第五篇:Tips for cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time, __1____Mone y is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule: Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a p ain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think about of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready? 2 Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 3 it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.4 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start. 5 and don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A. Try new things.B. Ability is easily improved.C. Make three or four instead.D. Understand your food better.E. Cooking is a burden for many people.F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.第六篇:Identity theft (身份盗用) is one of the fastest-growing crimes. Identity theft is a crime in which your personal information is stolen by someone and is used in an illegal way. When your identity is stolen, the thief often does fraud (诈骗) with that. He may get a credit card in your name and spend it carelessly without paying the bills; 1 and you have to be responsible for the traffic accidents he causes…Why is identity theft becoming so common? 2 . And the wealth of personal details people post on social networks such as Facebook also makes it easier for identity thieves to obtain personal information.Many people are not aware of the problems caused by this crime. They wake up from their carefree attitude only when they become a victim and suffer the damages caused by this crime.3 and this is why it is important that every person should become cautious when using the Internet. The following tips may prevent you from identity theft.First, make sure your computer has an updated anti-virus and firewall system installed. Second, only enter your c redit card details on secure sites, or websites that you’ve used before. Third, 4 . Your date of birth, names of schools attended, phone number or the names of your parents are often required to verify (证明) an identity, and thieves can use this information too.

It has classrooms and teachers and more than 275,000 graduates. 1 Instead, they are McDonald’s restaurant owners and workers learning how to do their jobs better.Hamburger University isn’t a business school. It’s a corporate university (企业大学). 2 As a result, the school teaches skills and methods that help improve efficiency in McDonald’s restaurants.Hamburger University is one of the world’s most famous corporate universities, but it is far from unique. 3 Companies operate corporate universities for many different reasons. Some improve the technical skills of employees. Others focus on training people in management. Still others help employees develop skills like learning to learn, creative thinking and problem solving.4 Their students often come from distant places and have full-time jobs. To make training possible for students, corporate universities have to use very flexible teaching methods. Some companies pay for their employees to attend specific classes at a local university. Others work with outside educators to develop courses for employees to take at their workplaces. Still others develop their own programs consisting of weekend and online courses.Corporate universities may never compete with traditional schools. But they have changed the way many see education. Training has always been difficult for busy employees. 5 Through them, continuing education is possible for many who, otherwise, wouldn’t have the chance to study.A. Corporate universities help by offering flexible programs.B. Corporate universities face a number of special problems.C. It exists to help the company McDonald’s meet its business goals.D.

I enjoyed staying with my grandparents when I was young child.1 People knew everyone, their kids, their pets and their ancestors. The relationship with them continued to grow as I grew and got older.2 She would make little sandwiches and we’d have tea parties. She’s plant flowers and carefully tend them. I remember the small thimble she would use while doing her needlework. Placing her thimble on her finger she’s remark: “I wouldn’t want to sew without one.”A few years ago when my grandmother passed away, I bade farewell to a loving grandmother.3 We had just had tea together a couple of moths earlier, on her 91st birthday. I missed her very much, but I noticed it particularly on my birthday, as there was no card from my grandmother. She’d never forgotten my birthday!On one particular birthday when I was feeling a little low, something happened to make me feel like she was sharing that special day with me. 4 They are what she had made, and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow. It was small and hard. I moved the object to a seam that I carefully opened, and to my delight out came a tiny silver thimble!5 Not realizing it had fallen off her finger, she sewed it in that little pillow that I just “happened” to fluff. I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others I’ve collected over the years, where I could continue to see the gift God chose to reveal to me.What a precious memory of a very special lady who somehow, I knew, was delighted to sew her thimble inside my pillow!A. How quickly our lives can change!B. I refused to go to the small town later.C.I loved the small town they lived in.D. I was arranging some colorful pillows.E. How sad I was to be unable to see a loving grandmother.F. Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting.G. How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her!第九篇:Britain’s high streets are dying slowlyTwenty years ago, the prosperous high street(繁华商业区) was the heart of most cities. It was crowded with customers. 1 Nowadays, high streets are declining, with very few shops and shoppers. With about 14 shops down every day, Britain’s high streets are dying little by little.2 It’s fairly easy to understand. To start with, people are spending less because of the economic recessi on(衰退). On top of that, more and more people are using the Internet to do their shopping. And it is not easy for shopkeepers in the high streets, either.3 Finally, there are the out-of-town retail parks with free car parking that sell just about everything at very low prices.What can be done? Prime Minister David Cameron has hired Mary Portas, a British business woman and star of TV show Mary Queen of Shops, to bring some life back into Britain’s high streets. She's talked about creating “magnets(磁石)” to attract people back to the centre. 4 In one town, a bicycle rickshaw(人力车) service is delivering people's shopping to their homes. 5 , where children can be cared for while parents are shopping.Members of the public have also voiced their opinions. “My ideal shopping center is one where there’s a wide selection of attractive looking shops, with cheap parking and good public transport links,” said a 28-year-old man. “I’d like to see Night Shopping evenings where shops are open through to 10 pm or later,” said a 22-year-old girl.A. They have to pay increasing high rents.B. But he is not the only one to solve the problem.C. But that’s all changed.D. In another town, they set up a nursery,E. In another town, they set up night shopping centers,F. They can make a fortune overnight.G. Why are high streets in such a desperate situation?第十篇:For some people,the warmest memories from childhood come from being read a great story. 1 It develops children’s language skills and increases the ir ability to succeed in school and,later,work.A new report by the American Academy of Pediatrics says reading aloud is so important that parents should start as soon as their children are born and continue to read aloud even after their children can read by themselves.They say parents should also point to and talk about pictures in books for infants(婴幼儿). 2The company Scholastic is a major U.S.publisher of children’s books.Every two years,Scholastic publishes a report on American reading attitudes and habits.The 2015 report says only 31 percent of children in the U.S.read a book for fun almost every day.3 One is simply to have books in the home.Elizabeth Lyttleton,the mother of three,is lucky.Her mother once wrote and illustrated children’s books,so the family always have plenty to read.She says all her children learn from books—but in different ways.4 Researchers from the Scholastic company found that 80%of children surveyed —of all ages—say they love being read to.And children ages 6 to 11 whose parents do not read to them anymore say they miss it.5 _ Of all the six to 17-year-olds in the Scholastic study,more than 90%said their favorite books are the ones they chose for themselves.A.The Scholastic report also suggests permitting children to choose their own books.B.Scholastic also identifies some ways to develop a love of reading in a child.C.A book does not have to be serious to be good for kids.D.For young children,parents should ask questions about the book.E.Do children still read for fun?F.Another way to develop a reading habit in children is to read to them.G.But reading to children does more than create warm memories.第十一篇:Helping Students Find Their Writing V oicesOne of the most frustrating things for writing teachers is reading papers that simply lack style. When all of the research has been completed and all of the sentences are structured well, but the paper still lacks some pizzazz(活力),it can be boring to grade. If you are searching for ways to help your students find their voices, why not try making students themselves the topic of the writing? 1Who are you?One of the most difficult questions for students to answer is: “Who are you?” 2 In doing this, through writing, students will start to see their personalities differently and, hopefully, be able to add a feature to their writing.Dear John3Encourage them to write to a famous person they’ve always admired, and then the one they absolutely hate. Explore how their language changes between the two letters. When students know their audiences, it is much easier for them to add the kind of personality their audience wants to see.4When students write about what matters most to them, they will often give you the best writing you’ve ever seen. You’ll get those when you ask questions that hit home. When students have something to say about a given topic, it can be easier for them to get their ideas down and then work on their writing style.Get the words on paper, and then edit themThe most valuable lesson students can learn is to write first, and edit later. Have students written for five minutes about their topics. If they can get their ideas down on paper, that’s 90% of the battle. 5 This can help them realize that, once they have the ideas down, the rest is just fine tuning(微调). Once they have this skill mastered, it’s easy for them to start adding their own personal voices to their papers.A.What matters to you?B. What style is taught in class?C. When they write about themselves, students’ voices often shine through.D. Writing letters is a great way for students to explore their writing style.E. Have your students explored who they are and what makes them unique.F. V oice is that magical quality which is able to make a creative writing idea sing!G. After that, have them edit these ideas into a really strong introductory paragraph.第十二篇:How to Sleep BetterIf you’re having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning,waking up more than once,for example),th is text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.1.Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality. 1 For example,if you normally wake up at 6 am on weekdays to get to work,you might go to bed around 10 pm,because that’s when you start to feel sleepy,and it’s also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If,on the weekend,you sleep until 9 a.m,you probably won’t be able to fall asleep that night until 1 a.m.2. 2 Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. Digestion slows down while asleep,and a full stomach may interrupt sleep .Similarly,you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach,as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.3. 3 Exposure to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can disrupt your body’s internal clock. Turn your light off,or use a very dim night light. 4 They include windows,LED clocks,computer lights and cable boxes.4.Change your sleeping position. You may think that it’s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing,but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference. 5 A.Try to avoid all sources of light.B.Keep the room as dark as possible.C.Make note of unusual circumstances.D.Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.E.Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.F.In other words,sudden change of sleeping time will affect your “biological clock”.G.If you wake up in the middle of the night,make an effort to have a comfortable position.第十三篇:Seeing with SoundAccording to a British news report,some blind people may finally get a chance to “see”.1 Dr. Peter Meijer,a scientist at Philips Research Laboratories in the Netherlands,has developed a new system called the vOICe.The three middle letters in vOICe stand for “Oh,I see.” Meijer’s groundbreaking technology may change the lives of visually impaired people all over the world.A wearable setup of vOICe system consists of a head-mounted camera,stereo headphones and a notebook PC.The system translates visual images from a camera into complex sounds. 2The program is based on the theory that people can hear certain sounds and learn to translate them into meaningful mental images.Everything has its own unique sound. 3 The height of an object or person could be determined by pitch(音调).And a built-in color identifier speaks out color names when it is turned on.What the vOICe users have to learn is which sound goes with which object.Meijer says that he is counting on the brain’s ability to adapt.4 Within two weeks,most people who experiment with the vOICe system are able to identify objects such as walls and doors.They are also able to identify certain situations,including whether the lights in a room are on or off.5 Meijer thinks that translating will eventually become automatic for many users of the vOICe,bringing a form of vision to them for the very first time.A.Brighter areas sound louder than darker areas.B.It then sends these sounds to a person through headphones.C.However, they are not learning to see with their eyes;they are learning to see with their ears.D.The vOICe system is aiming to treat blindness by translating images from a camera into audio signals.E.Meijer supposes that the brain is interested in the information “content”,but not the information “carrier”.F.To evaluate the new system’s effectiveness, a nu mber of visually impaired people were chosen to test the v0ICe.G.Over time, some users have even learned to “watch” television or “recognize” the outlines of buildings as they walk.第十四篇:What A Real Leader DoesIs a leader merely a manager ? What should we expect from our leaders ? 1Yes, we do need leaders. On our own, we lack the vision, direction , and strength to reach our goals. We were all in need of guidance when we were children —— even the cleverest child could not possibly be expected to make certain crucial decisions. Once we become adults, with the capacity to reason for ourselves, we are facing so many pressures of daily survival that we rarely find time and energy to focus on life’s larger issues. And when we do, our emotions and subjectivity limit our vision and our movement.2 When we are occupied with our self-interest —— petty or great, a leader sends out a wake-up call, alerting us to seek the true priorities in life.With so many people trying to be leaders there days, how do we recognize a true leader ? To answer this question, we must step back and ask : 3A true leader wants nothing more than to make people stand on their own, as leaders in their own right. Instead of trying to blind us with his or her brilliance, a true leader reflects our own light back to us, so that we can see ourselves anew.The differences between a leader and a boss : A boss drives their employees, and a leader coaches them. A boss inspires fear, and a leader generates enthusiasm. A boss says “I”, and a leader says “We”. A boss places blame for breakdowns, and a leader fixes them. 4Decide now. Decide today. Are you going to be a real leader ? Are you going to develop real leaders ? 5 Remember, a leader with vision has a clear, vivid picture of where to go, as well as a firm grasp on what success looks like and how to achieve it.A.A leader provides a new perspective, inspiring us to abandon our narrow field of vision.B.This sense of urgency is just as important in a leader as a sense of vision.C.And do we really need leaders in the first place ?D.Are you going to inspire and generate enthusiasm ?E.We have a CEO who can direct thousands of employees toward a single objective, and politicians who inspire millions of citizens to support them.F.What is it that a leader is really trying to accomplish ?G.A boss knows how it is done, and a leader shows how it is done.第十五篇:What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? 1 .Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead.You tend to be a pessimist(悲观主义者).At least,this is what psychologists tell us,and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference,as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. 2 .If you happen to love brown,you did so,as soon as you opened your eyes,or at least as soon as you could see clearly.3 .On the one hand,a yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one;and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the coldest winter day.4 .A black bridge over the Thames River, near London.used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀)than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green.The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply.Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.5 .It is self-evident that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.A.On the other hand,black is depressing.B.The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.C.They tell us that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up—we are born with our preference.D.If you do,you must be an optimist(乐观主义者),a leader or an active person who enjoys life.E.Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.。

主题语境--人与自我第一练七选五Passage1-4突破练-保分必拿限时:14 分钟Passage1语篇类型:说明文主题语境:人与自我--生活与学习词数:约225three simple techniques.1 When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free.2 Don't worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won't work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. 3 Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle — as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.The third technique is to try printing out a triple-spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. 4 As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. 5 The resulting blank space invites you to revise.A. Make sure your handwriting is neat.B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.C. The second draft of the essay should be better.D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.E. Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.F. Many beginning writers don't leave enough space to revise.G. Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.Passage2语篇类型:说明文主题语境:人与自我--积极的人生态度词数:约225 Work, family and world events can be so stressful that it feels like optimism and joy are far out of reach. Anyone can get stuck in a bad mood _but you don't have to stay there! 1Once you're in a mood you need to shake, start by going to your happy place. 2 If not, keep a photo on your phone or computer of a beautiful, favorite place and take a moment to imagine you are there. What's the weather like? Whatdoes the air smell like? What are you doing while you're there? How does being there make you feel? You'll instantly feel calmer, lost in the daydream or the memory of your happy place.We can make our situations worse by keeping thinking about negative thoughts. 3 " Bad things always happen to me, " becomes "What lesson can I learn from this situation?" "I wasted the whole day," becomes "I still have 5 more hours left to make today a great day!"Whether it is going for a coffee at your favorite cafe, or catching a movie in the theatre, make sure that once a week you schedule some "me" time. 4 That may mean getting less done during the day, but you deserve to take a mental break, regularly. So give priority to the time you need to recharge.5 Whether it's a rare bit of easy traffic on your way to work or a break in the weather, you won't have time to complain about the negative things because you're so busy being grateful.A. You can also volunteer at your local shelter.B. It helps focus on the present and clear your mind.C. Thankfully, there are ways you can get back on track.D. If you're able, get into nature and breathe the fresh air.E. Relieve your stress and refresh your mind, body and spirit.F. When a negative thought flashes, replace it with a positive one.G. When a negative attitude takes over, shake it off by practising gratitude.创新练-高分必抢限时:19 分钟Passage3语篇类型:记叙文主题语境:人与自我--个人经历词数:约320 To put into words my time in Antarctica and South Georgia is nearly impossible. I had always described it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but as soon as I stepped foot on the continent, I immediately knew I needed to return.1 About 50% of the passengers of our expedition (远征) had been to Antarctica at least once before. This goes to show just how magical of a destination it is.That all your senses will be stimulated is the best way I can describe the time on the white continent. How tiny you feel next to towering glaciers and icebergs! The icy water moving through your body as you take the infamous Polar Plunge. The learning of heart-touching stories of survival from explorers of the past. 2Antarctica makes you feel so small and insignificant, in the best way. 3 You get front row seats to witness the most incredible show: nature. It is as much beautiful as cruel. For example, when you see a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick, your heart aches. Then your expedition guide regretfully tells you that a chick that is small in March wouldhave very slim chances of surviving the upcoming winter. The cycle continues, and you're left wondering who to root for.Things move fast in Antarctica, and every month offers something really unique and special to see. In March, the weather is a bit more unpredictable, and the sea ice is beginning to form again. 4 In two more weeks, expedition ships would not be able to break through the ice.The penguins are completing their yearly feather-changing process. 5 The expedition team made sure we kept our distance and did not scare them into hiding under freezing water.These animals, arguably the cutest you will ever see, survive such unfavorable environments. It's absolutely incredible to witness the challenges, the skill, the efforts, all of it. I am forever grateful to have been a visitor.A. The list goes on.B. But this is not always the case.C. Our voyage was the last of the season.D. I was not the only one who felt this way.E. I, years later, did return to this fascinating place.F. They are really weak during this time, and cannot dive.G. Everything has a purpose, and the cycle of life is evident.Passage4语篇类型:说明文主题语境:人与自我--健康的生活方式词数:约215routine. 1 Here are several ways for you to keep moving in hot weather and some tips for safely keeping active in the summer heat.2 Drink 16 to 24 ounces of water, sports drinks, or other liquids around twenty minutes before you begin. Try to avoid drinks that contain caffeine, a chemical substance, because that will cause you to lose water.Choose a proper time in the day to exercise. Avoid the hottest time of the day — between 11 am and 3 pm. 3 Also take care to watch the weather and avoid exercising when humidity (湿度) is high.Dress for the heat. Make sure you wear light breathable clothing before working out in the heat. Some materials like nylon easily absorb sweat and evaporate it much better than cotton. 4 If you become very hot, pour cold water into your hat to help you feel cooler.5 Remember to use a sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or higher and apply it every two hours or after you work up a sweat. Avoid getting sunburned because it decreases your body's ability to cool itself down and also increases the risk of skin cancer.A. Wear proper sunscreen.B. Take food and water with you.C. If you exercise earlier, it'll be safer.D. But don't let a heatwave keep you down.E. Choose light colors and also have a hat on.F. And work out early in the morning or late in the day.G. Make sure that you are not thirsty before you exercise.主题语境--人与自我第二练七选五Passage5-8突破练-保分必拿限时:18 分钟Passage5语篇类型:说明文主题语境:人与自我--生活与学习词数:约240day, and still feel happy and relaxed. 1• Pick the most important.2 Focus on spending time that for you is fun and productive.

This reminded me of my seventh grade musical — "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". I desperately wanted to play the role of Becky, the female lead who was Tom's girlfriend. 1For starters, Becky had to sing numerous solos, and I couldn't carry a tune. I also didn't have long blonde curls like pretty Linda Wright who won the part.I was assigned the non-singing role of Miss Watson, the maid. I had to wear an ugly dress. And I had only one line to learn, " That's what I say. " 2 Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes, and got to repeat. "That's what I say" throughout the play.At last, our production was put onstage. Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson made the audience laugh out loud each time I piped up with "That's what I say". I hadn't known that she — or I — could be funny, or that her character was important in moving the plot along. 3That night, I began to understand that being the star may not be any more fun than being a standout in a supporting role. Each person, onstage and backstage, is essential in theater. Without everyone doing their part, the play would be dull as dishwater. 4 If everyone is a star then nothing gets done. It's all noise and chaos.And so I believe all children should get the opportunity to play Miss Watson, to become someone they didn't know they wanted to be. 5A. So it is in life.B. It was not to be.C. It was anything but a great part.D. My Miss Watson turned out to be a hit.E. It took the entire cast to make a good show.F. There was an advantage, in my opinion, though.G.

She booked a few house viewings and after looking at three places, she fell in love with one house. But that night a feeling of doubt and uncertainty entered her head. 1 Will the others be cheaper?We've all found ourselves in such situations, whether we're considering job offers or buying a new car. It's a problem that involves mathematics and psychology. And it's got a name: the optimal (最优的) stopping problem. 2 It's askinghow long we spend sampling options to give the optimal chances of a successful final decision.Mathematicians have given us an answer: 37%. The basic idea is that, if we need to make a decision from 100 different options, we should sample and give up the first 37. 3 It's a period during which we identify what works and what does not. From the rejected 37%, we choose the best and keep that information in our heads moving forward.Mathematics offers us the best answer to the " optimal stopping problem". But there's just one big issue: Humans are not rational(基于理性的)probability-calculating machines. In fact, the opposite is usually true. 4 In the psychological and economics field, there is an " explore/ exploit trade-off (探索/利用权衡)".This asks whether we should go with a guaranteed "win " ( exploit) or risk going somewhere else for an unknown outcome (explore). The degree to which someone will explore or exploit depends on various factors. 5 Of course, different people are more exploitative or exploitative at different times. Teenagers and traders tend to explore more. Adults and managers exploit more.A. What if the next house is better?B. How much does it cost a month?C. The 37% rule is not some mindless, automatic thing.D. And it ties in with how curious or risk-seeking we are.E. It's then necessary for us to improve our computing power.F.

Why does a mosquito bite itch and what can we do?Why does a mosquito bite itch?When a mosquito bites you, it pierces the skin using a special mouthpart to suck up blood and injects saliva(唾液) into your skin. Mosquitoes’ saliva has lots of proteins in it, some of which our body recognizes as foreign things, and our immune cells spring into action to try to fight them. 2 It's actually the body's response to the foreign mosquito proteins it is trying to fight. That's why some people may only have a mild reaction to bites, while others, more sensitive to the foreign proteins, react with large areas of swelling that are more painful.What helps resist the urge to scratch?"Don't scratch" is the advice that most experts and health professionals give. As hard and sometimes unrealistic as it can sound, scratching inflames(使更棘手)the skin, and the inflammation makes the skin itch more. 3 ,”warned DanielMarkowski, technical adviser for the American Mosquito Control Association, adding that in extreme cases, people can scar themselves.Instead, there are dozens of creams and sprays that promise itch relief as well as home remedies (疗法). Choosing what's right for you can often come down to trial and error. In general, all of the various anti-itch creams are very similar. There is no scientific evidence that these remedies work, and they can come with their own precautions or side effects. 4 5Some people can have serious allergic reactions to mosquitoes, although in practice it is rare, V osshall said.

If you choose a desert cactus (仙人掌) as your starter plant, that's fine. 2 That you see a particular species everywhere doesn't mean it's an easy plant to grow. It may be everywhere because it's easy to reproduce in a greenhouse, not at home. Some houseplants that are easy to care for include sweet flag, bamboo, spider plants, etc.3 With too little light, plants will produce small-sized leaves and become leggy. And too much light can result in plants with burn marks and dry leaves. Therefore, you should know what plants need what light and ensure them the right light.Plants also need water to grow. The amount of water plants need depends on the type of the plant.Understanding whateach plant needs will help you water it properly. 4 Even the same species in the same situation in different pots may need water at different times.

Remember, this is only one opportunity, and there will be more.3Once you've spent some time reviewing the interview, ask yourself if there is anything you can learn from your mistakes. Did the interview go poorly because you were late? Were you too stressed? Did you give a wrong answer to a common interview question? 4 You can prepare better for your next interview.Request a second chance.No one wants to ruin an interview, but employers are humans too and understand that people have bad days. If you think you've blown an interview, don't just give up. Although there's no sure-fire success, it's always a good idea to send a thank-you email after your interview, and it can't hurt to explain in the email why you were off your game. 5 Even if you can't save an interview that went poorly, there are things you can do to help reduce the stress.

You can use it to move between the different controls.The touch screen is a single system for many controls in your car. So simple? Actually, not simple at all, 2 It will always be more challenging to use. It will likely take more time to use for each function.Worse still, the touch screen mayalso put you at greater risk of being in an accident.In a car with buttons and other physical controls, you can often perform the same tasks without looking. 3 And you most likely receive physical feedback (反馈) through your fingers letting you know you've succeeded. Buttons are probably faster than touch screens. With a button, you reach over and easily get your fingers on it.4 They may be effective, but many also require multiple attempts to work. If you've ever asked your phone to do something, you know there are still challenges in speech recognition.However, if you need to use the touch screen to control systems in your car, I have a few suggestions.Get your basic setup running before your car is running down the road.

Here's a quick and easy tip-list to make such a worthy act successful.• 2 You need to make sure that both you and your participants enjoy the event. So keep it simple and make sure that you add some fun,whether it's special decoration,a bag for each participant or guest,or a special theme.• Get team support. 3 Teamwork may give you some new ideas and help give a unique feature to your event. Make sure that you break down the work among your team.• Plan for the “what-ifs?” If you are planning to hold an event outdoors,or if you are relying on a famous person as a guest of honor,make sure you think of a few possible alternatives. 4 This is the key to successful event planning.• Timing is everything. Check your community calendar to make sure there are no important community events on the day that you are planning your event. You might want to check with other communities or non-profit organizations nearby. 5 • Check out your favorite charity's website for ideas. Many websites offer advice on how to raise money.

What if it starts raining or if your honored guest doesn't show up?BHow do you discover your real purpose in life? I'm not talking about your job,your daily responsibilities,or even your long-term goals. 1Perhaps you're a person who doesn't believe you have a purpose and believe that life has no meaning. 2 Not believing that you have a purpose won't prevent you from discovering it,just as a lack of belief in gravity won't prevent you from tripping (绊倒).3 A martial arts (武术) expert asked Bruce to teach him everything Bruce knew about martial arts. Bruce held up two cups,both filled with liquid. “The first cup,” said Bruce,“represents all of your know ledge about martial arts. The second cup represents all of my knowledge about martial arts. If you want to fill your cup with my knowledge,you must first empty your cup of your knowledge.”If you want to discover your true purpose in life,you must first empty your mind of all the false purposes you've been taught (including the idea that you may have no purpose at all).4 While there are many ways to do this,here is one of the simplest that anyone can do. The more open you are to this process,the more you expect itto work.Here's what to do:• Take out a blank sheet of paper or open up a word processor where you can type.• Write at the top,“What is my true purpose in life?”• Write an answer (any answer) that comes into your head. 5 A shor t phrase is fine. • Repeat the last step until you write the answer that makes you cry. This is your purpose.A. It doesn't matter.B. Here's a story about Bruce Lee.C. So how to discover your purpose in life?D. It doesn't have to be a complete sentence.E. I mean the real reason why you live in this world.F. Many people live a meaningless life without a purpose.G. If you don't have a purpose,then you should try to find one.CI was attending a party one night. During the dinner,the man sitting next to me told a humorous story and he spoke of a quotation.The storyteller mentioned that the quotation was from the Bible. He was wrong. I knew that. I knew it for sure. 1 And so,to get a feeling of importance and display my superiority,I tried to correct him. He stuck to his guns. What? From Shakespeare? Impossible! Absurd! It was from the Bible. And he knew it.The storyteller was sitting on my right;and Frank Gammond,an old friend of mine,was seated on my left. Mr. Gammond had devoted years to the study of Shakespeare,so we asked him. He listened,kicked me under the table,and then said: “Dale,you are wrong. The gentleman is right. 2 ”On our way home that night,I said to Mr. Gammond: “Frank,you knew that quotation was from Shakespeare.”“Yes,of course,” he replied,“Hamlet,Act Five,Scene Two. 3 Why prove to a man that he is wrong? Is that going to make him like you? Why notlet him save his face? Why argue with him?”4 I not only had made the storyteller uncomfortable,but had put my friend in an embarrassing situation. How much better it would have been had I not started the argument.Nine times out of ten,an argument ends with each side more firmly convinced than ever that he is absolutely right. 5 You can't because if you lose it,you lose it;and if you win it,you lose it.A. You can't win the argument.B. That quotation was from the Bible.C. But we were guests at a festive occasion.D. There couldn't be the slightest doubt about it.E. Nobody could decide who was right in the end.F. But it was impossible for me to change his mind.G. The man who said that taught me a lesson I'll never forget.DWhile you are performing tasks in public,you may experience fears. 1 Fears can also result in your making mistakes and cause you to avoid public situations. So rather than giving up before you begin,give these tips a try.2People are forgiving when it comes to public performances if there is something of value in the content that you present. For example,if you give a performance that informs and educates your audience,they're likely to overlook the fact that you were nervous.Record your performance and view it.Once you view your performance,you will have an excellent idea of how you might better impress your audience. This will help you get rid of awkward habits that could put your audience off your message. 3 After all,your performance may be much better than you think.Use visualization (想象).In the last few days before your performance,take time to visualize your performance. 4 Visualize possible questions from your audience. If you see yourself as being successful during your performance,you will start your performance with a calm attitude.Remember that fear doesn't equal failure.5 That's okay. You can still pull off a successful performance where you accomplish what you intend to accomplish. Once one performance has gone well,you will have less fear during following performances.A. Be strict with yourself.B. Remember that good content is key.C. You never know what will happen next.D. Picture every detail of your performance.E. Of course,you may also gain more confidence.F. They can cause you to lose confidence in yourself.G. You may not completely cure your fear of performance.参考答案:A. 1-5 CADGFB. 1-5 EABCDC. 1-5 DBCGAD. 1-5 FBEDG。

Professor Deborah Tannen, of Georgetown University, has noticed differences in the style of boys' and girls' conversations from an early age. According to her study, little girls' conversation is less clear than boys' and expresses more doubts. 2These differences will continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more than women do. In private conversations, men and women speak in almost equal amounts. 3 Professor Tannen believes that, for women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy (亲密). For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure (结构) of a relationship.4 “When a woman teaches another woman,” says Professor Tannen, “she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in. When a man teaches a woman, however, he wants to show that he has more knowledge and power in conversation.5 ”Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is preprogrammed for language. As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual bias (偏向) in its programming; otherwise, male speech patterns would not arise at all.A. And he uses his language to show this.B. Do men talk in the same way as women?C. However, they say things in a different style.D. Women are far more silent than men in public conversations.E. Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.F. More women are encouraged to help each other, talking about their doubts.G. Teaching is one job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show.CThe exciting game of footballFootball is one of the most popular sports in the US. 1 That kind involves kicking a round ball into a net and is called soccer in North America. American football, however, uses a ball that is pointy (尖的) on both ends. While it does include some kicking, there is more throwing and catching involved.In football, there are 11 players from each team on the field at one time. Each team tries to move the ball across the opposing team's goal line to score. The quarterback (四分卫) throws the ball, and the person who catches it tries to run past the opposing team's players. The way to stop someone running with the ball is to tackle him. That means hitting right against him and trying to knock him down to the ground. 2The biggest professional football organization in the US is the National Football League (NFL). The NFL championship game is called the Super Bowl, and it is one of the most watched television events around the globe. 3 For example, millions of toilets are flushed (冲洗) at the same time during half-time. Also, 14,500 tons of chips are consumed during the game.Most sports fans are happy with just sitting in the stands and cheering on their teams. 4 They dress themselves in their team's colors. Some of the excitement happens before the games even begin. Fans gather and hang out in the parking lots outside the stadiums and have huge parties. 5 There are also endless amounts of sodas and beers. All of these combined with the game itself make football one huge and popular social event.A. However, it isn't the game of football played in other parts of the world.B. As a result, professional players have to be strong and quick.C. It is an exciting sport that can sometimes get pretty rough.D. There are many amazing facts about the Super Bowl.E. It is also the wealthiest sports league in the world.F. Everything from sandwiches to chips is served.G. For some, that is not enough.DThere are a number of tips that you can follow to help you find a job that suits your personality.List your strong and weak pointsBefore you start your job search, take some time to think about your strong and weak points. 1 If you are excellent at managing your time, for example, a job in project management, or one that involves organising others, could be perfect.Ask others for their opinionsAlthough you should know yourself better than anyone else, there are times when a second opinion is needed. 2 They may come up with ideas that you haven't considered. You should, however, make sure that they aren't so protective of you that they persuade you not to push yourself, or encourage you so much that you aim too high.Find out what potential jobs involve3 Make sure you do as much research as possible to determine exactly what you will have to do. An office job may sound very safe if you are shy, but if you then find that you have to give regular presentations, you may not be cut out for it after all.4When looking for a job, many people have an idea of what they would like to be in the future. However, that is often little more than a dream and, even if it is possible to reach that goal, it may involve years of hard work that you don't enjoy. 5 If you can find a job that mirrors what makes you happy in life, then the chances are that you will enjoy it and it will match your personality type.A. Take a personality testB. Consider what delights youC. Think about what makes you happy and then analyse why.D. Finding a job that suits your personality is very important.E. Ask your friends and family what sort of job they think would suit you best.F. Sometimes, it isn't immediately obvious what a job will involve until you start it.G. More importantly, think about how they would affect your ability to do particular jobs.答案A 1-5 FDCEAB 1-5 BECGAC 1-5 ABDGFD 1-5 GEFBC解析A篇(日常活动)本文是说明文。
