In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves, 6 to the sound of them.Autumn is a 7season and life is uninteresting. The free days always get me 8. But one day, the sound of a violin 9into my ears like a stream (小溪) flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was 10 in playing her violin.I had 11 seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been 12there for so long but my existence (存在) did not seem to disturb her.Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building 13 I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became 14. 15we didn't know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I believe she also loved me.Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly 16. To my astonishment (惊讶), the girl came over to me.“You must like violin.” she sai d.“Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.Suddenly, a 17 expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.“I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that 18 me.” she said.“In fact, it was your playing 19gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Let's be friends.”The girl smiled, and so did I.I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure (身影) of the girl. She is like a 20—so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful.1. A. with B. for C. against D. to2. A. good B. true C. new D. old3.

And this is what he's set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book, The Rational Optimist. He views mankind as a grand enterprise that, on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years. He backs his findings with hard facts gathered through years of research.Here's how he explains his views.1 ) Shopping fuels inventionIt is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone. Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better cars, and, of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us. This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things. The more we specialize and exchange, the better-off we'll be.2) Brilliant advancesOne reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs—food, clothing, fuel and shelter—have grown a lot cheaper. Take one example. In 1800 a candle providing one hour's light cost six hours' work. In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes' work to pay for. In 1950 it was eight seconds. Today it's half second.3 )Let's not kill ourselves for climate changeMitigating (减轻) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself. A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fossil-fuel (化石燃料) electricity is forbidden by well-meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change. If climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nose-bleed by putting a tourniquet (止血带) around our necks.1. What is the theme of Ridley's most recent book?A. Weakness of human nature.B. Concern about climate change.C. Importance of practical thinking.D. Optimism about human progress.2. How does Ridley look at shopping?A. It encourages the creation of things.B. It results in shortage of goods.C. It demands more fossil fuels.D. It causes a poverty problem.3. The candle and lamp example is used to show that ________.A. oil lamps give off more light than candlesB. shortening working time brings about a happier lifeC. advanced technology helps to produce better candlesD. increased production rate leads to lower cost of goods4. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?A. Cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost.B. Overreaction to climate change may be dangerous.C. People's health is closely related to climate change.D. Careless medical treatment may cause great pain.（二）In business, there's a speed difference: It's the difference between how important a firm's leaders say speed is to their competitive(竞争的) strategy(策略) and how fast the company actually moves.The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain-an-edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track.What's more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up” improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean.Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value)．Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference.But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion.They encouraged new ways of thinking.And they allowed time to look back and learn.By contrast (相比而言), performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn't develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership.Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals.That kind of strategy must come from the top.1．What does the un derlined part “gain an edge” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Increase the speed. B．Get an advantage.C．Reach the limit. D．Set a goal.2．The underlined part “the laws of business physics” in Paragraph 3 means ________.A．spending more time and performing worseB．spending more time and performing betterC．spending less time and performing worseD．spending less time and performing better 3．What can we learn from the text?A．How fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.B．How competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.C．Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.D．Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.4．Which could be the best title for the text?A．Improve quality? Serve better.B．Deliver value? Plough ahead.C．Reduce time? Move faster.D．Need speed? Slow down.（三）Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill（友好）between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred（仇恨）. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.One country received its second—place medals with visible indignation after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match as, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair .Their manager was in a rage when he said:“ This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the I nternational Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension（暂停）of the team for at least three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the U.S.A. had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non national terms, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism（爱国主义）.1.According to the author, recent Olympic Games have ____.A. created goodwill between the nationsB. bred only false national prideC. hardly showed any international friendshipD. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred2.What did the manager mean by saying,“...Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are fi nished”?A. His team would no longer take part in international games.B. Hockey and the Federation are 60th ruined by the unfair decisions.C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.D. The Federation should be dissolved.3.The basketball example implied that ____.A. too much patriotism was displayed in the incidentB. the announcement to prolong the match was wrongC. the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decisionD. The American team was right in receiving the silver medals4.The author gives the two examples in paragraph 2 and 3 to show ____.A. how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international gamesB. that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to beC. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendshipD. that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games5.What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.C. Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.D. International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations.（四）There are two major parties in Britain today,the Conservative Party and the Labour Party, which have been in power by turns since 1945.The two—party system of Britain was formed in the course of the development of the capitalist state and the political parties.In order to strengthen the state machine,the British bourgeoisie（资产阶级）have let it come into being and exist in one form or another form since the 17th century. P.S.Tregidgo once said:“The more parties there are,the less likely it is that any one of them will be strong enough in Parliament（议会）to outvote all the others;but when there are only two, one of them is sure to have a majority of seats.This helps to ensure a strong and stable government.”This may be the reason why the British have the two party system.The division into two parties grew out the establishment of a Protestant Church of England in the 16th century.Because of a purely religious difference of opinion,the Puritans were separated from the broad body of the Anglican Church. The non-Puritan Anglicans were on the side of the King and Church,and their supporters were call ed by their opponents “Tories.”The Puritans were for Parliament and trade, and their supporters were called by the “Tories”“Whigs”.The Tories and the Whigs were in power by turns for a long time.In 1833,the Tory party split into two and its name was changed to Conservative.In the 1860s the Whigs became Liberals.From that time on,the Liberals and the Conservatives were in office by turns until 1922.The policies they put into effect were sometimes different, but they were both controlled by the rich.The working class became more and more unwilling to follow the Conservatives and the Liberals.They wanted to have their own party.So the Labour party was formed by the trade unions.After 1922 the Labour Party gradually replaced the Liberal Party to become one of the two major parties in Great Britain.1.What does “it” stand for in the fourth line?A. The two party system.B. The state machine.C. The Partiament.D. The capitalist state.2.We can learn from what P.S Tregidgo once said that ____.A. if there are parties in Britain,none of them will be strong enough to have control in the government.B. the more patients there are, the more likely it is that they will have the decisive say in the government.C. the two party system contributes to the establishment of a powerful and long lasting government.D. if there are only two parties in Britain, it will be easy for the government to control them.3.What can we infer from the forming of the Tory Party and the Whig Party?A. These two parties originally believed in different religions.B. These two parties were established under the influence of different religious believes.C. The British King and the Parliament supported different religions because they were for the two party system.D. The British King and the Parliament were supported by different parties for political reasons.4.According to the passage,why was the Labour Party established in Britain?A. Because the trade unions did not do much good for the working people.B. Because the Liberal Party were not strong enough to defeat the Conservative Party.C. Because the working people would not like to be members outside the Liberal Party.D. Because neither of the two major parties was the parties for the working people.5.Which of the following is true concerning the Tory Party or the Whig Party?A. The Whig Party no longer exists in Britain.B. The Tory Party has kept its unity until the present day.C. The Whig Party has taken the place of the Liberal Party.D. The Tory Party has taken the place of the Conservative Party.【答案详解】Passage A文章通过“我”和一个小姑娘秋天邂逅的故事体现了知心朋友的重要性。

高考英语阅读理解和完形填空专项练习三
高考英语阅读理解和完形填空专项练习三一、阅读理解AJim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all, but owned by none —that’s because all of Jim’s art is created on an unusual canvas (画布) — the soft sand. He sometimes spends days working on a piece, only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it.Denevan discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago, when he was wandering aimlessly on the beach with a stick. He ended up drawing a 12-foot-long fish. Since then, Jim has traveled over 1,800 miles while creating over 600 pieces of sand art.Over the years, his drawings have become bigger, but the tools he uses haven’t changed — All he needs is a stick, a garden rake (耙) and most importantly, his lively imagination!Just like any good artist, Jim is quite particular about the “quality” of his canvas, sometimes walking for miles, in search of perfect sand. His latest piece of work, which is also the world’s largest freelance (自由职业的) drawing, was created in the desert sands of Nevada. It took Jim three trips, eight days and over 100 miles of walking to create this 3-mile work of art. It took the storm just one night to destroy it! However, Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain wash his paintings away.Jim’s art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary named “Sandman” in 2005.

Texting while driving is a dangerous activity thatgreatly increases the risk of accidents on the road. In recent years, many countries have passed laws to ban this behavior. However, despite these efforts, 1 accidents caused by texting while driving continue to occur. One reason why people still engage in this risky behavior is the misconception that they can multitask effectively. Many drivers believe that they are able to divide their attention between texting and driving without any negative consequences. This 2 mistaken belief has been heavily disproven by research showing that multitasking reduces a person's ability to focus and react quickly. In addition to the belief in multitasking, another factor contributing to the persistence of texting while driving is the addictive nature of smartphones and social media. The constant need to stay connected and receive instant gratification from notifications makes it difficult for people to resist the urge to use their phones while driving. Psychologists suggest that this addiction is a result of the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure, when using social media. The desire for this pleasurable sensation becomes a strong motivator for individuals to engage in risky behaviors such as texting while driving. Furthermore, the lack of awareness about the consequences of texting while driving also plays a significant role. Many people underestimate the dangers and mistakenly believe that they are skilled enough to handle the task. They fail to realize that the mere seconds it takes to read or respond to a text can have serious consequences. Research has shown that texting while driving increases the risk of a car accident by 23 times. These accidents can result in severe injuries or even fatalities, not only for the driver, but also for passengers or other innocent road users. To address this issue, it is crucial to implement strict and enforced laws that prohibit texting while driving. These laws should be accompanied by vigorous public awareness campaigns to educate drivers about the dangers and consequences of this behavior. By increasing awareness and providing accurate information, individuals will be more likely to consider the potential risks and make responsible choices. In conclusion, despite the efforts made to preventtexting while driving, accidents caused by this behaviorstill occur frequently. The misconception of multitasking, the addictive nature of smartphones, and the lack of awareness contribute to the persistence of this dangerous activity. It is essential for governments, organizations, and individuals to work together to implement stricter laws and educate the public about the risks associated with texting while driving. Only through collective efforts can we hope to reduce the number of accidents and make our roads safer for everyone.。

Nowadays, job hopping(跳槽) has become very common. But what has led to this tendency of frequent change in jobs among employees? Well, in most of the cases, it is boredom resulting from the routine job and lack of job satisfaction that disappoints people. Searching for better work opportunities is also one of the reasons for frequent change in jobs. But, is job hopping safe for employees?Actually, job hopping can either make or break the career of the person. On the one hand, it helps you learn new work skills because you'll come across many people who have the experience of working in many different work areas. Through working in different fields you would be exposed to various work fields and as a result, you would find the field that is best for you. Also, changing the job serves a good break and will keep you enthusiastic about the life and work.On the other hand, job hopping isn't something recommended because there are disadvantages associated with it. Very often employers are afraid of hiring employees with a history of too many job changes. This is because an employee with many job records is described as someone who cannot be trusted in the long run. Also the person is often considered as someone who lacks stability, focus and dedication(奉献), apart from sound knowledge of his work area. A person gains sound knowledge of a subject only after he works on it for a certain period of time.Therefore, you shouldn't change your job too frequently; job change is recommended only if you aren't satisfied with the job, or have issues with the current job, or have got a better job opportunity.1．From Paragraph 1, we can infer that people in the past________.A．were more devoted to work than people todayB．benefited a lot from the steadiness of workC．liked to do less challenging workD．preferred not to change job2．What does the underlined word “break” in Paragraph 2mean? ________A．Interrupt. B．Destroy. C．Separate. D．Stop.3．According to the text, job hopping has many advantages EXCEPT________.A．giving a good impression on the employerB．finding the fittest job for youC．learning new work skillsD．keeping your interest4．What is the author's purpose in writing this text? ________A．To tell us the attitudes towards job hopping.B．To tell us on what condition we can change our jobs.C．To tell us to treasure the present jobs we do.D．To tell us the advantages and disadvantages of job hopping.2017届词性转换＋完形填空＋阅读理解答案Ⅰ．1．sad; sadly; sadness 2．played; players 3．happily; happiest 4．satisfaction; satisfied 5．inventor; inventions 6．simplify; simpler/simple 7．appearance; disappeared 8．discovered; uncovered 9．kind; kindness10．more expensive; expensesⅡ．1．safes 2．equipment 3．security4．investigator 5．robbery 6．professional7．neighbouring 8．remove 9．Fortunately10．unharmedⅢ．1~5．ACDBC 6~10．ABDCC 11~15．CCBDA 16~20．CABDA Ⅳ．1~4．DBAD高考英语专题练习（一）词性转换＋完形填空＋阅读理解解析Ⅰ~Ⅱ．略Ⅲ．1．解析:选A根据上文可知,路程比较远,所以早上5点左右“我”就出发了.set out“出发”.2．解析:选C return“返回”.根据上文的“I left my inhaler behind”可知,“我”不得不返回取“我”落下的inhaler. 3．解析:选D avoid“避免,避开,躲避”.“我”转向以回避它,但撞上了路缘,车爆胎了.4．解析:选B deserted“没人的,被遗弃的”.“我”来到一个小停车场,发现这地方没人.5．解析:选C“我”有在现代化城市生存的能力,不容易(easily)受到惊吓.6．解析:选A tough“不幸的,倒霉的”.但“我”知道自己现在处于一个倒霉的(tough)地方.7．解析:选B lock“锁上”.由上文可知,在休斯顿没有人能接“我”.所以“我”立刻锁上了门,然后给拖车公司打电话.8．解析:选D根据空后的“my driver's side window and asked if he could help me”,可知,这里应用knock“敲,打,敲击”.9．解析:选C appearance“外貌,外观”.下文的信息“someone different from the thug(恶棍) he appeared to be at first glance”是提示.10．解析:选C rob“抢劫,掠夺”.从他的外表和举止上看,他更有可能抢劫“我”而并非帮助“我”.11．解析:选C根据空后的“told him the tow truck was due any minute”可知,“我”拒绝了他.12．解析:选C decline“谢绝,婉拒”.他又问了一遍,但“我”又礼貌地拒绝了.13．解析:选B instinctively“本能地”.下文信息“all rational judgment, but trusting my instincts(本能)”是提示. 14．解析:选D against“违反”.虽然与所有的理性判断相违背,但这次“我”相信“我”的直觉.15．解析:选A根据空后的“but”和下一段的“when most people would never open the door to someone like me”可知,这个人看上去很惊讶.16．解析:选C spare“备用零件,备胎”.根据下文的“it was stored underneath the van”可知,这里指“备用轮胎”. 17．解析:选A空后的句子是空前句子的原因, 故用since.18．解析:选B change“更换,替换”,他更换了轮胎.19．解析:选D大多数人不愿给他那种长相的人做好事的“机会”. a chance表示“一次机会”.20．解析:选B faith“信任,忠实”.根据上文可知,这里讲“我”重新获得了对他人的信任.Ⅳ．1．解析:选D推理判断题.从文章第一段第一句可知,过去人们往往一辈子只从事一种工作.2．解析:选B词义猜测题.与文章第二、三段关于跳槽的优缺点对比相对应,跳槽可能会使人成功也可能会破坏一个人的职业生涯.可知应选B．3．解析:选A细节理解题.从文章第三段可知,跳槽很可能会给雇用者留下一个坏印象.故选A．4．解析:选D写作意图题.文章主要说明了换工作的优点和缺点。

高考英语《阅读理解+完形填空》真题含答案
高考英语《阅读理解＋完形填空》真题含答案Ⅰ.阅读理解A“You're so smart！”This encouraging response to children's math performance is commonly heard. Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.Parents who make comments linking their children's performance to personal characteristics like intelligence are using what's referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who link their children's actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children's math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure their math motivation and achievement.The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children's strategy use and efforts rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics. In contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can't be constructive give more person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give a combination of both responses. While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics—in particular, related to failure—are more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home. Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parents to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough. Focusing less on how children perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to enhance motivation.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了一项新的研究发现，用孩子们的个人特征或天生能力鼓励他们，可能会随着时间的推移削弱他们的数学动机和成就。

新高考英语阅读和完形填空训练及答案详解
新高考英语阅读和完形填空训练及答案详解AHow Do Different Animals Sleep?Big SleepersPredators, such as lions and wolves, tend to sleep more than their prey. They also spend more time dreaming, although scientists don’t know why.Light SleepersGiraffes don’t get very much sleep — only a few hours a day. For giraffes, sleeping is awkward and leaves them weak to their enemies. So giraffes mostly take short naps while standing up. But they do need to lie down for half an hour or so of deep, dreaming sleep. It can take a whole minute for a giraffe to get back up on its long legs again.A Comfortable BedMost animals like to find a safe, comfortable place to sleep. Gorillas make themselves sleeping nests of branches and leaves on the ground or in a tree. Every gorilla makes a fresh new nest every night, even if they haven5t moved far from the one they used the night before.Half-asleepDolphins are air-breathing mammals that swim in the sea. But how do they sleep? If they stop swimming to take a nap, won’t they sink and drown? Scientists studying seals and dolphins have discovered a surprising answer — these animals can sleep with one half of their brain while the other half stays awake! While the right half of the dolphin’s brain is asleep, the left half stays awake. This lets the dolphin keep its nose above the water so it can breathe. After about 20 minutes, the sides switch, allowing the other half of the dolphin’s brain to sleep.Do Bugs Sleep?Bugs don’t sleep in the same way we do. But they do have periods of rest every day. Dragonflies often have a favorite spot that they return to time after time to rest.1．What can we know about giraffes’ sleeping habit?A．They are big sleepers.B．They don’t need deep sleep at all.C．They tend to sleep more than their prey.D．They usually stand up while sleeping. 2．Which of the following animals chooses to be half-asleep?A．Wolves.B．Dolphins.C．Gorillas.D．Giraffes.3．How do dragonflies sleep?A．They sleep while flying.B．They sleep on the surface of the water.C. They return to the same place to take a rest.D．They sleep in the same way humans do.BAstronaut（宇航员）Scott Kelly has been living on the International Space Station（ISS）since March 28, 2015. And just like any other home, the ISS requires some housekeeping, in the form of regular work and repairs.That is why Kelly and his partner Kjell Lindgren performed activities, outside the station on Wednesday. The operation began at 8：03 am and lasted for more than seven hours. It was the first spacewalk for both men.The ISS has been in continual use for 15 years, and has hosted over 200 people, including astronauts and private tourists. During their activities, Kelly and Lindgren did basic electrical work, such as attaching new wires that will provide power to docking ports（舱门）on the station. The ports will be used when other people arrive at the ISS. Also, the two astronauts fixed a thermal（防寒的）cover on a key scientific instrument on the station to protect it from the freezing temperatures of space.As the more senior astronaut, Kelly led the spacewalk. However, Lindgren dealt with some of the more challenging parts of the job as he has longer arms than Kelly.During a spacewalk, the simplest work becomes a difficult task. Kelly and Lindgren spent months training and practicing for the operation. The preparation began in NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Lab（NBL）. Here astronauts are made to work in an environment similar to the one outside the space station.Even getting the space suits ready can take days. While each suit is built to fit the astronaut perfectly who will wear it, adjustments（调整）need to be made right up to the time when the spacewalk begins. The adjustments address any change in the astronauts' bodies that have occurred as a result of being in a gravity-free environment.4．Why did Kelly and Lindgren take the spacewalk?A．To clean up the ISS.B．To keep the ISS in good condition.C．To test their new space suits.D．To carry out a scientific experiment. 5．What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A．What the two astronauts did in the spacewalk.B．Why the docking ports are useful.C．How the astronauts performed the spacewalk.D．How the ISS is working properly.6．Why did Kjell Lindgren do more challenging work than Kelly during the spacewalk?A．He knew more about the station.B．He was the leader of the team.C．He had a longer reach.D．He had more experience of spacewalk 7．What does the underlined word "address" in the last paragraph mean?A．Deal with B．Belong to.C．Interact with.D．Lead to.CHans is a young German born after 1995, who is a big fan of Chinese culture. He has been learning traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) since 2016. Now he is studying for his master’s degree at Henan University of Chinese Medicine.As he thought some diseases can’t be treated thoroughly with Western medicine, he decided to research into TCM. Hans came to Central China’s Henan Province in 2015, where a rich TCM culture can be enjoyed because Henan Province is the hometown of Zhang Zhongjing, the medical master of ancient China. After one year of learning the Chinese language, he started to learn Chinese medicine. Hans thought TCM is one of the best-preserved aspects of Chinese culture. He hopes to solve problems and understand Chinese culture deeply by learning TCM.Without a language barrier, Hans read some of the ancient Chinese medical classics, such as Huangdi Neijing and Yi Jing. He believes different aspects of traditional Chinese culture interact with each other.Studying TCM also changed Hans’ mind and lifestyle. He used to be addicted to electronic devices and stay up late every night, trapped in this fast-paced but unhealthy daily routine. But now, according to the Yin-Yang theory in TCM, he lives a balanced and peaceful life,practicing good habits such as drinking tea and meditating, as well as reading ancient books.Hans also uses what he has learned to help his family. Previously, acupuncture tools andChinese medicine were necessities when he went back to his home in Germany. With acupuncture and Chinese-style massages, various physical disorders of his family have been well-treated. Now, he always provides his family members with some advice about staying fit after he checks their skin or tongues online. Over time, his family gradually began to understand his passion for TCM.He plans to run a traditional Chinese clinic in China or Germany after graduation, which could serve as a bridge between the two countries and publicize TCM and its culture.8．What attracted Hans to Henan Province to study TCM?A．Its rich TCM culture.B．Its unique language.C．Its beautiful scenery.D．Its famous university.9．What makes it possible for Hans to read ancient Chinese medical classics?A．His family’s support.B．His financial situation.C．His language learning.D．His previous experience.10．How has studying TCM affected Hans?A．He has made a big fortune.B．He has known many medical experts. C．He has set up a clinic in Germany.D．He has developed a healthy lifestyle. 11．Which of the following best describes Hans?A．Brave.B．Ambitious.C．Humorous.D．Good-mannered.DScientists have discovered that chimps(黑猩猩)talk to each other by drumming on trees with their hands and feet. It is a way of sending long-distance messages. Each male chimp has its own way of drum beats, to which they add spoken noises to show who is where and what they are doing. The chimps only seem to use their own beats when they are travelling. It may explain why chimps don’t say goodbye to each other because they can keep in touch with each other when they’re away.We believe chimps like communicating with each other very much. So do the chimps in the zoo. They are happy to communicate with visitors every day. However, during the lockdown(封闭)time, the chimps are upset because of no visitors coming.A new study has found that some chimps were quieter and lazier than usual during the lockdown months. The study took place in Knowsley Safari Park(野生动物园)in England. It compared the chimps’ behavior during periods of lockdown in 2020 and 2021—when the zoo wasclosed and they were not being observed by humans—with how they acted after zoo visitors returned.When the zoo was closed, some chimps spent more time alone and moved about less. When the sites reopened and visitors returned, they spent less time resting and ate more and explored more. In Knowsley, they were eager to get close to visitors’ cars more often.The researchers say that they can’t tell for sure whether the lockdown was good or bad for the chimps they had studied. When visitors returned, chimps spent less time alone, which could be seen as positive. However, their less resting could also be seen as negative, because it could mean that human visitors interrupted their rest time, which may harm chimps’ health.12．What is the purpose of the chimps’ way of drum beats?A．To play music.B．To scare visitors.C．To attract scientists.D．To have communication.13．What effects did the lockdown have on chimps according to the study?A．The chimps became less active.B．The chimps put on more weight.C．The chimps enjoyed their loneliness.D．The chimps communicated quite often. 14．How were the chimps when the Zoo was reopened?A．Lazy.B．Quiet.C．Excited.D．Lonely.15．In which way did the researchers get the study result?A．By listing numbers.B．By comparing facts.C．By giving examples.D．By interviewing visitors.七选五Do you want lots of success in school and in your friendship?

Many times I've wanted towrite for myself, for other women, for my parents, for my husband, and especially for my children. I would have liked to leave a legacy (遗产) of words explaining what it has meant to have twins. One reason that there is not a great deal written about being a mother of a new baby is that there is seldom a moment to think of anything else but the baby's needs.With twins, I did not have a spare hand to write with.Before my twins were born, my days were long and I had nothing to write about. After the twins' birth I did have something to write about, but I found myself facing not a pen and paper but milk bottles.Some nights, friends would visit. They would leave at 11 p.m., heading for bed, and for us the night was only just beginning. With twins, there is really no night. Each feeding lasts a long time. At 1:00 a.m., each of them would begin crying from hunger. At 4:00am, when I finally put them down, I felt exhausted.Two years have passed since then and we've managed to live through it all. My days are still very full and even now there isn't one evening when I put the twins down for the night that I don't have a break. At last a little time for myself.26. When did the writer have time but she didn't feel like writing anything?A. Before the birth of her twins.B. When she faced bottles of milk.C. After her friends visited her home.D.

Because her babies often cried and she woke up.D. Because she could not sleep till four in the morning.29. This passage is probably from a(n) ______.A. blogB. newspaperC. guidebookD. advertisement30. What can we learn from the passage?A. The writer was unhappy because of no time for writing.B. The writer cared her babies more than her own interests.C. The writer hated to be a mother of twins.D.

Gradually laws came into being.The first child-labor laws were passed at the state level in America and usually focused on both required education and a minimum age for employment. And added rules limited the length of the workday for children. Pennsylvania, for example, limited the workday to 10 hours for children under 12. However, government officials cared little whether businesses followed the law. In fact one group of children was left entirely unprotected by labor laws -- the children of immigrant families.By the beginning of the twentieth century, piecework appeared, for which people were paid by the piece. Significant numbers of women sewed baby dresses or men's neckties and made the artificial flowers used to decorate hats. Piecework turned homes into factories that were free from the law, and countless children worked long hours alongside their mothers and old sisters.Manufactures exploited the system shamelessly and paid the lowest wages they could. Embroidering (刺绣) a silk dress, which was a 10-day job, might generate a five-dollar payment. In the case of "willowing", workers needed to add more strands to ostrich feathers used on hats to make them longer and more graceful. The first willowers were paid 15 cents per inch, but a few months later, the pay was reduced to 13 cents. Within three years, willowers were earning only three cents per inch.In order to survive under these circumstances, pieceworkers had even their youngest children help them. In one Italian neighborhood, a three-year-old girl helped her mother sew clothes. In another case, a child of eight who had lived in New York for three years had never been to school at all and could speak almost no English. Slowly child labor laws brought these abuses to an end.31.

Child-labor laws should have come into being before children became workers.CSHANGHAI-Famed Chinese scientist Qian Weichang died here on Friday morning, saddening millions of his countrymen.He was 98.Qian, a pioneer in mechanics and applied mathematics in modern China, was one of the three famous "Qians" in China's science and technology field. He was well known alongside Qian Xuesen, the father of China's space program, and Qian Sanqiang, a nuclear physicist who oversaw the development of China's nuclear program.Wu Shuqing, former president of Peking University, said Qian was an internationally well-known scholar whose modesty and conduct has set a good example for following generations.After learning about Qian's death, millions of Chinese people offered their condolences (吊唁) online.Many students from Shanghai University, where Qian was a former president, burst into tears after hearing the news, saying it was a great loss to the university and to China.For those off campus for the summer vocation, many visited their university website, which had been turned gray. Some said they planned to return to the campus to mourn him.Many of those still on campus voluntarily joined preparations for a mourning (哀悼) service that will begin at the university on Saturday.The university has set up two mourning halls at two of its campuses and publicized the mourning time and phone numbers at the two sites.Qian was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu, in 1912. Although he was initially not good at science, he chose to study physics at Tsinghua University because he believed science and technology were the keys to strengthening China in the 1930s.He graduated from Tsinghua in 1935, and earned his PhD in applied mathematics from the University of Toronto in Canada in 1942.He returned to China in 1946 and became a mechanics professor and later vice-president at Tsinghua University.Qian made great contributions to the engineering applications of sciences, such as the fluttering of airplanes, armor penetration, the design of instruments and pipe systems.He is an academician (院士) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.36.
