2021高考英语二轮总练习阅读理解精选〔05〕及解析ATwo brothers, Herbert and James, lived with their mother and a cat named Edgar. James was particularly devoted to the cat, and when he had to leave town for several days, he left Herbert careful instructions about the pet’s c are. At the end of his first day away, James telephoned his brother, “How is Edgar〞“Edgar is dead.〞 Herbert answered. There was a pause. Then James said, “Herbert, you’re insensitive (漠然旳). You know how close I was to Edgar. You should have broken the news to me slowly. When I asked about Edgar tonight, you should have said, ‘Edgar’s on the roof , but I have called the fire department to get him down.’ And tomorrow when I called, you could have said the firemen were having trouble getting Edgar down, but you were hopeful they would succeed. Then when I called the third time, you could have told me that the firemen have done their best, but unfortunately Edgar had fallen off the roof and was at the veterinarian’s (兽医站). Then when I called the last time, you could have said that although everything possible had been done for Edgar, he had died. That’s the way a sensitive man would hav e told me about Edgar. And, oh, before I forget,〞James added, “how is mother〞“Oh,〞Herbert said, pausing for a moment, “She’s on the roof.〞56. James telephoned his brother at the end of his first day away because he wanted to know ___.A. what he was doingB. whether he was goodC. whether the cat was goodD. where his mother was57.

From the last paragraph of the passage, we can know that the mother was probably_____.A. on the roofB. ill or even deadC. repairing the houseD. playing gamesBRock and roll music developed in the United States in the early nineteen-fif ties. It was based on the music called rhythm and blues that was performed by African American musicians.Early rock and roll singers developed their own kinds of music. Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan were the most popular rock and roll musicians in the early 1960’s. All were American. Then, in 1964, a new rock and roll group from England invaded America: the Beatles.Some people say the Beatles’ music shook America like an earthquake. The Beatles changed rock and roll forever. Their early songs were influenced by American rock and roll musicians, including Chuck Berry. But the Beatles looked different and sounded different from any musical group be-fore them.The Beatles released their first album in the United States in 1964, when all of the top five records in America were b y the Beatles. In 1967, they released an album called “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.〞 It was one of the first “concept〞 albums. That is, all the songs were linked by a common story or idea. The popularity of the Beatles led the way for more rock and roll bands from England to become popular in America. The Rolling Stones was the most important of these bands. The Rolling Stones is one of the few groups from the 1960’s that is still performing and recording today. In 1965, the group recorded one of its most famous songs, “Satisfaction〞.The musical instrument most linked to rock and roll is the guitar. Experts say Jimi Hendrix was one of the most influential guitar players in rock and roll during the late 1960’s. His “Purple Haze〞 was liked by many people.By the 1970’s, rock and roll music became known as rock music. It expanded into many new forms. For example, there was country rock, hard rock, acid rock, and heavy metal rock. Punk rock, jazz rock, and glitter rock.In the mid dle 1970’s, experts say rock music regained some of the energy of early rock and roll. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band became popular with their album “Born to Run〞. Springsteen’s music was like the lively rock and roll music of the early nineteen-sixties. Many of his songs were about social issues. He sang about the effects of unemployment and the war in Vietnam.59.

From the passage, we can know that _______.A. one of the Rolling Stones’ albums was called “con cept〞B. the Beatles and the Rolling Stones became popular at the same timeC. rock and roll music had many different forms at the beginningD. rock and roll music probably came from African American musicCVilla Nicoletta, Genuine RelaxationSomewhere i n the world, there’s a place where stress isn’t allowed and peace and genuine relaxation are the only demands of the day. If you could go there, you would thoroughly enjoy yourself. There are not too many places in the world like this, but this is one of t hem. It’s luxurious. It’s ultra-private.Welcome to Villa NicolettaVilla Nicoletta is a 4-bedroom luxury villa and an oasis(绿洲) of rest and rejuvenation〔恢复活力〕in a land of unspoiled peace. Located on a 70-foot cliff overlooking the north shore of the island of St. Thomas and the pretty waters of Caret Bay, Villa Nicoletta offers the finest accommodations in the Caribbean for those seeking a vacation of elegance, peace and privacy. You’ll see how the sun blankets the landscape and water in shimmering brilliance by day and how the sky twinkles like billions of bright diamonds at night.Completed in 2000, the 3,300-square-foot Villa Nicoletta is fully equipped with state-of-the-art electronics.When you book Villa Nicoletta, you shall book the entire villa.Off Season: April 16 to December 14★4 bedrooms —＄5,700/week (8 people max)Sleep sofa can add additional 2 people ＄200/nightPeak Season: December 15 to April 15★4 bedrooms —＄6,300/week (8 people max)Sleep sofa can add additional 2 people ＄200/night63.

We can infer that _______.A. you can share the villa with other touristsB. the island of St. Thomas is famous for the ocean theme amusement parkC. fewer tourists stay in Villa Nicoletta in autumn than in springD. you can go in for extreme sports in Villa NicolettaDCan we give a hand to those endangered animals Yes, we may only do a little bit, but together our small actions add up to a lot.1. Protect wildlife habitat.Perhaps the greatest threat that faces many species is the widespread destruction of habitat. Cutting down forests, farming, and development all result in loss of wildlife habitat. In areas where rare species live, habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction. By protecting habitat, entire communities of animals can be protected together naturally. Parks and reserves are now all too often the only habitats that are left untouched by habitat destruction.2. Reduce the threat of inv asive (入侵旳) species.The spread of non-native species has greatly reduced native populations around the world. Invasive species compete with native species for resources (资源) and habitat. They can even prey on native species directly, forcing native species towards extinction.3. Place decals (贴花纸) on windows.It is reported that as many as one billion birds in the United States die each year because of collisions (碰撞) with windows. You can help reduce the number of collisions simply by placing decals on the windows in your home and office.4. Slow down when driving.Many native animals have to live in developed areas and this means they must move in human-living areas. One of the biggest obstacles (障碍) to them is that created by roads. Roads divide habitat and present a constant risk to any animal attempting to cross from one side to the other. So when you’re out and about, slow down and keep an eye out for wildlife.67. What would be the best title for this passageA. How animals go to extinctionB. The importance of protecting wildlifeC. What to do to help save wildlifeD. How to protect wildlife habitat68. By writing the underlined sentence, the writer means that _____.A. more parks and reserves should be builtB. we should have more habitats free of destructionC. there is a need for improvement in parks and re-servesD. parks and reserves are good examples of protecting wildlife69. People are advised to put decals on windows to _____.A. decorate the houses and beautify the environmentB. protect the windows from birds hittingC. attract more birds to make homes nearbyD. avoid birds hitting the windows by mistake70. The underlined phrase “prey on〞 in the passage means _____.A. drive awayB. live withC. kill for foodD. fight withETens of thousands of theatre tickets will be given away to young people next year as part of a government campaign to inspire a lifelong love for theatre.The plan to offer free seats to people aged between 18 to 26 —funded with ￡ 2.5 million of taxpayers’ money —was announced yesterday by Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary. It received a cautious welcome from some in the arts world，who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged.The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows. Attend ances reached 13.6 million in 2007，up 10 percent on 2006, itself a record year. Total sales were up 18 percent on 2006 to almost ￡ 470 million.One theatre source criticized the Government’ s priorities(优先考虑旳事) in funding free tickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying: “I don’ t know why the Government’ s wasting money on this. The Young Vic, as The Times reported today，offers excellent performances at cheap prices.〞There was praise for the Government’ s plan from Dominic Cooke of t he Royal CourtTheatre, who said: “I support any move to get young people into theatre, and especially one that aims to do it all over England, not just in London.〞Ninety-five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two-year plan. In return, they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds，first-come, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre.Mr. Burnham said: “A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be inspired to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear it’ s ‘not for th em’ . It’ s time to change this perception.〞Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, said: “The real issue is not ge tting enthusiastic children into the theatre，but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place. For too many children theatres are a no-go area.〞71．Critics of the plan argued that________.A. the theatres would be overcrowdedB. it would be a waste of moneyC. pensioners wouldn’t get free ticketsD. the government wouldn’t be able to afford it72．According to the supporters, the plan should________.A. benefit the television industryB. focus on producing better playsC. help increase the sales of ticketsD. involve all the young people in England73．Which of the following is TRUE about the planA. Ninety five theatres have received funding.B. Everyone will get at least one free ticket.C. It may not benefit all the young people.D. Free tickets are offered once every day.74．We can infer from the passage that in England________.A. many plays are not for young peopleB. many young people don’ t like theatreC. people know little about the planD. children used to receive good arts education75．According to the passage, the issue to offer free tickets to young people seems ________.A. controversialB. inspiringC. excitingD. unreasonable 参考答案。

2022高考英语二轮阅读理解精选（01）及解析A(·湖北卷，A) Honesty，my mum always used to tell me，is the best policy.Of course，this didn't include her when she told me that if I didn't eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn't give me any presents.But when it comes to medicine，I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients.After all，the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust，and therefore honesty is essential. Or so I thought.I had just started working in geriatrics (老年病科)．Mr.McMahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen.I took a medical history from his daughter who'd accompanied him in the ambulance.She'd been his main carer for years.I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history.“Has he lost any weight recently？” I asked，“Well，it's funny you should mention that，but yes，” she said slowly.There was silence for a few moments.“Why? What are you worried about” she asked，I hesitated.She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth.“Well，we need to prove it's not cancer.”I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.Half an hour later，a nurse called me: “Mr.McMahon's daughter broke down—she said you told her he had cancer.” My heart sank.By the time I arrived at the ward，my consultant was already there，explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer.I stood silently at the end of the bed.My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr.McMahon，she turned to me.“Why on earth did you do that？”she asked in disbelief.I looked at her and bit my lip.“She asked me what I was worried about and I told her.” I said，hanging_my_head.“And give her more to worry about？”replied my consultant.“You don't say the word ‘cancer’ until it's confirmed.Even if you suspect it，think very carefully before you tell people.”As it turned out，it wasn't cancer.But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they're sometimes selective in what they hear—and as a doctor it's important to be mindful of this.In being truthful，I'd made the situation worse.原本在一位大夫的心目中，诚实是第一位的；而且在工作中也是奉行诚实本分的处世原则。

“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits（品质）in the Americans．They show confidence in the way they talk，the way they smile，the way they dress and the way they walk．Living and competing with all these confidence American students，I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor．As a student，being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind．Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly．Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all．What’s worse，the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive．Being confidence for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it．Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace．But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches．（The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking）．Modesty is a trait highly valued in China，but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program．1．To compete with American students it’s very important to．A．be quite confident B．be polite and friendlyC．have more discussions with them D．understand what they think about2．A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who ．A．gives a silly or simple answerB．tries to seize any chance to speak in classC．shows no interest in the courseD．is considered to have no opinion of his own3．The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if ．A．he asks a student to repeat what he has saidB．the students bargain with himC．he pretends to know what he doesn’tD．he has to give a speech4．We learn from the second paragraph that ．A．we should also remain modest in AmericaB．modesty doesn’t help you much in AmericaC．Americans also like modest peopleD．modesty can help you through an American graduate program5．The passage is mainly developed by ．A．providing examplesB．making comparisonsC．giving different figuresD．telling personal experiences【参考答案】1---5、ADCBD2022高考英语二轮：（精选）阅读理解训练（2）及答案AWhen Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter (炼铜厂), and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest. One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. Paul knocked him down. From then on, something happened inside him. Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office. He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back. The answer from that big industry was “No”.Paul then went to college to study the science of plants. Unfortunately, his teachers said there weren’t any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds. It would be a waste of his life to try to do it. Everyone knew that, he was told. Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn’t get his idea accepted.Paul later got married but his dream would not die. And then one night he did what he could with what he had. As Samuel Johnson wrote, “It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote.Attainable good is often ignored by minds busied in wide ranges.” Under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting.And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass. For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense. Slowly rabbits appeared. Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has. It took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow (誓言) he made to himself as a child.21.When Paul was a boy, _______.A. he had decided never to leave his hometownB. the economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelterC. he hit a young visitor because of his comments on the wastelandD. he stopped the copper smelter polluting the area22.Paul went to college to study the science of plants, because _______.A. he wanted to find out the best way to save the area himselfB. he was interested in planting trees since he was youngC. he wanted to get more knowledgeable people to help himD. he thought his knowledge would make his advice more convincing23.What does the underlined phrase “the plain common sense” probably mean?A. It was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland.B. His normal work and life would be greatly affected.C. No one would like to join him in the efforts.D. He had to keep everything he did secret.24.The company hired Paul to plant trees and grass because_______.A. they realized the importance of environmental protectionB. what Paul was doing moved themC. Paul persuaded them to help himD. they had legal pressure参考答案A篇21-24 CDADBMusic died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum (课程). The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test，it is not the fault of drama and music classes—they are failing because the “academic” classes are not sufficient (充分的).It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, well-rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art—there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge—certainly not a good preparation for the real world.25. Music and drama are not included in the high school curriculum mainly because ________.A. the school committee pays no attention to themB. the school is afraid of losing financial supportC. the students are not interested in both of themD. the state standardized test is more important26. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The sufficiency of the classes determines students’ performance in the mastery test.B. Quite a few students are discouraged from learning music and art in today’s school system.C. Students can be musicians and artists only if they can afford private music lessons.D. The school committee completely influences students’attitude towards the arts.27. We can learn that music and art can ________.A. motivate students in creativity and expressionB. make students round-shaped people in futureC. provide students with analytical thinkingD. prevent students graduation from high school28. The best title of the passage can be ________.A. Who killed music and drama?B. Can curriculum go without music?C. Why is music so important?D. How to prepare for the real world?参考答案B篇25-28 BBABCFor more than 40 years, scientists have sought to learn how well human beings can adapt to long periods in space. The International Space Station continues to provide valuable knowledge about spaceflight. But an earlier space station, Skylab, helped make the current space project possible.Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield sang aboard the International Space Station on May 12, 2021. His music video has become extremely popular. The astronaut played his own version of David Bowie’s song Space Oddity. He performed while floating weightlessly, with images of planet earth and space appearing in the window behind him.Chris Hadfield recently returned home after nearly five months on the space station. For him, the long flight produced a hit video on YouTube and no major physical problems. But 40 years ago, scientists did not know how humans would react to long-term spaceflight. To find out, NASA, the American space agency, launched Skylab in May, 1973. Over nearly a year, three teams of astronauts visited Skylab for stays of between 28 to 84 days. They learned how people react to extended periods in space.Gerald C arr commanded Skylab 4. He spoke at a NASA event marking the 40th anniversary of Skylab’s launch. He said that the loss of the body’s muscle mass was a main concern. Astronauts on Skylab used exercise equipment to stay strong. The astronauts spent their workdays carrying out experiments, including biomedical (生物医学的) research.Marshall Porterfield is the director of NASA’s Space Life and Physical Sciences Division. He says the Skylab astronauts’ understanding of their own ability to deal with long-term spaceflight continues to help current astronauts. NASA says the next step for life away from Earth is a year-long space station mission, set for 2021.29. Why was Chris Hadfield’s song so special?A. It was performed in space.B. It was created by an astronaut.C. It was a very familiar song.D. It was first sung by a famous singer.30. Which of the following best describes the physical condition of Chris Hadfield after his return?A. Worse.B. Better.C. Normal.D. Weaker.31. For what purpose did NASA launch Skylab?A. To research on whether human beings could stay in space.B. To gather up information on setting up a space station.C. To study the changes in the body when staying long in space.D. To find out the possibility of doing experiments in space.32. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Skylab is still in use to explore the space.B. The research results on Skylab are still valuable.C. Skylab is more advanced than the International Space Station.D. The Skylab astronauts made great contributions to biomedical research.参考答案C篇29-32 ACCBDSuppose you are thinking about attending college in the United States, but perhaps you might not be ready for a university with a four-year program. About 88,000 international students have found solution. They are attending U.S. community colleges. Such colleges are sometimes called junior colleges. They offer two years of education above the secondary or high school level.Community college students can choose from subjects like medical assistance, computer science or law. At the end of their study program, they receive a document of completion, called a certificate. Some students work toward an associate degree in traditional academic subjects like science or history. After getting it, the students can move on to a four-year college or university. They may have only two years of study left before they receive a bach elor’s degree.Many educational experts agree that saving money is the major reason to consider a community college. The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) says that a public two-year college costs 3,000 dollar a year on average. That is true if the student lives in the same state as the school. A student at a four-year public college maypay 8,500 dollars a year for classes and user fees. That does not include books and other materials.Some international students may need more preparation in English before entering a community college in the United States. For example, Istrif Montgomery came to the U.S. from Kosovo in 2006. First, he worked to improve his English at Montgomery College for a year. Then for the next two years, he attended classes in basic subjects in a community college.The international students at two-year colleges need to find a place to live. Most community colleges do not provide student housing on their grounds. But Mr Montgomery had a home nearby. He was able to ride the bicycle, and he was able to walk if he wanted. In fact, most community college students live within five to ten miles off the college.33. What’s the biggest advantage of a community college?A. The classes are free of charge.B. The students can save much time.C. The students can save a lot of money.D. It is convenient for students to live in the college.34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Mr Montgomery usually goes to school on foot.B. Most students i n community colleges don’t live far away.C. 8,500 dollars covers all the cost of a four-year public college.D. International students often attend a community college directly.35. What’s the main purpose of the passage?A. To encourage students to study abroad.B. To tell the international students how to save money.C. To tell us it’s a good choice to study in public colleges.D. To give some information about community colleges.参考答案D篇33-35 CBD。

2023届高考英语二轮复习外刊阅读理解训练狗也是伴侣

23年高考英语外刊阅读理解训练——狗也是伴侣——改编自A dog is more than a fleeting love Dogs have long been known as man's best friend. As pets, dogs bring us comfort and joy, and they also keep us active. During the pandemic lockdowns last year, dog ownership increased significantly as more people were staying at home and had the time to care for a furry friend.However, with increased demand for puppies came skyrocketing prices. Some breeds like Cockapoos and Cocker Spaniels saw even steeper price increases, and many puppies were sold for over £3,000. Such high prices might encourage puppy farming, smuggling, or even dog theft. Some breeders have also been found selling animals on social media sites, which animal welfare charities have called "extremely irresponsible."Notably, new owners who obtained a dog legally, from a registered breeder or a rescue centre, found themselves unprepared for life with a new pet. Animal behaviourists in theUK have reported that requests for help have surged from owners of dogs suffering from fear-aggression after their lives have been turned upside down.Looking towards the future, there are concerns about the welfare of these beloved pets. Ian Atkin, the manager of the Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary in the UK, warns that while dogs are enjoying their moment now, separation anxiety could surface when people return to work. Additionally, Claire Calder from the UK’s Dogs Trust rescue organisation says that “economic situations also mean that some people may find they cannot afford to look after a dog.”The takeaway message is to avoid purchasing a puppy too hastily and to pick one that fits into your lifestyle.In conclusion, owning a dog can provide immense happiness and fulfilment, but it comes with significant responsibilities. Whether you acquire one from a breeder or a shelter, be prepared to commit time, energy, and finances towards its well-being. And most importantly, ensure you consider the impact a new dog will have on your lifestyle and living situation before bringing it home, so you can enjoy yourfurry friend for years to come.【重点词汇】1. man's best friend /mænz/ /best/ /frend/ 人类最好的朋友2. comfort /ˈkʌmfət/ 安慰; 舒适3. joy /dʒɔɪ/ 高兴; 快乐4. pandemic /pænˈdemɪk/ 流行病; 大流行5. lockdown /ˈlɒkdaʊn/ 原意为紧急情况下对某些地方或建筑实施封锁措施，以防止危险的散播。

As I reflect on this significant event, a smile spreads across my face. As I think of Shanda, I feel loved and grateful.It was my twelfth year of dancing, I thought it would end up like any other year: stuck in emptiness, forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential to achieve greatness.However, I met Shanda, a young, talented choreographer (编舞者). She influenced me to work to the best of my ability, pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up, encouraged me and showed me the real importance of dancing. Throughout our hard work, not only did my ability to dance grow, but my friendship with Shanda grew as well.With the end of the year came our show time. As I walked to a backstage filled with other dancers, I hoped for a good performance that would prove my improvement.I waited anxiously for my turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the loudspeaker announced my name. Butterflies filled my stomach as I took trembling steps onto the big lighted stage. But, with the determination to succeed and eagerness to live up to Shanda, expectations for me, I began to dance. All my troubles and nerves went away as I danced my whole heart out.As I walked up to the judge to receive my first place shining gold trophy (奖杯), I realized that dance is not about becoming the best. It was about loving dance for dance itself, a getaway from all my problems in the world. Shanda showed me that you could let everything go and just dance what you feel at that moment. After all the doubts that people had in me, I believed in myself and did not care what others thought. Thanks to Shanda, dance became more than a love of mine, but a passion.1．What did the author think her dancing would be for the twelfth year?A．A change for the better.B．A disappointment as before.C．A proof of her potential.D．A pride of her teachers and friends.2．How did Shanda help the author?A．By offering her financial help.B．By entering her in a competition.C．By coaching her for longer hours.D．By awakening her passion for dancing.3．How did the author feel when she stepped on the stage?A．Proud.

Now, the team added a new feature to the database that predicts where species currently unknown to scientists may be hiding.In 2018, ecologist Mario Moura of the Federal University of Paraiba in Brazil teamed up with Yale ecologist Walter Jetz, who took the lead in the initial creation of the Map of Life. The pair set out to identify where 85 percent of Earth's undiscovered species may be. For two years, the team collected information about 32，000 vertebrate (脊椎动物)species. Data on population size, geographical range, historical discovery dates and other biological characteristics were used to create a computer model that estimated where undescribed species might exist today.The model found tropical environments in countries including Brazil, Indonesia, Madagascar, and Colombia house the most undiscovered species. Smaller animals have limited ranges that may be inaccessible, making their detection more difficult. In contrast, larger animals that occupy greater geographic ranges are more likely to be discovered, the researchers explain.“It is striking to see the importance of tropical forests as the birthplace of discoveries, stressing the urgent need to protect tropical forests and address the need of controlling deforestation rate if we want a chance to truly discover our biodiversity，” said Moura.The map comes at a crucial time when Earth is facing a biodiversity crisis. It was reported that there was a 68 percent decrease in vertebrate species populations between 1970 and 2006 and a 94 percent decline in animal populations in the America's tropical subregions. “At the current pace of global environmental change, there is no doubt that many species will go extinct before we have ever learned about their existence and had the chance to consider their fate，” Jetz said.5．What can be learned about the Map of Life?A．It only tracks biodiversity distributions.B．It was initially created by Mario Moura.C．It predicts where undiscovered species exist．D．It managed to locate 85% of the undiscovered species.6．Which factor makes animals easier to discover?A．location. B．species.C．size. D．population.7．What does the underlined word “address” mean in Paragraph 4?A．Tackle. B．Ignore.C．Maintain. D．Postpone.8．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A．Tropical animal populations have slightly declined.B．The Map of life is significant to protecting biodiversity.C．Tropical forests are the birthplace of many extinct species.D．Many species will undoubtedly go extinct even if discovered.CThis is the digital age, and the advice to managers is clear. If you don't know what ChatGPT is or dislike the idea of working with a robot, enjoy your retirement. So, as for the present you should get for your manager this festive season, a good choice may be anything made of paper. Undoubtedly, it can serve as a useful reminder of where the digital world's limitations lie. Several recent studies highlighted the enduring value of this ancient technology in several different aspects.A study by Vicky Morwitz of Columbia Business School, Yanliu Huang of Drexel University and Zhen Yang of California State University, Fullerton, finds that paper calendars produce different behaviours from digital calendars. Users of oldfashioned calendars made more detailed project plans than those looking at an App, and they were more likely to stick to those plans. Simple dimensions seem to count. The ability to see lots of days at once on a paper calendar matters.Here is another study from Maferima TouréTillery of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and Lili Wang of Zhejiang University. In one part of their study, the researchers asked strangers to take a survey. Half the respondents were given a pen and paper to fill out a form; the other half were handed an iPad. When asked for their email address to receive information, those who used paper were much likelier to decide on a positive answer. The researchers believe that people make better decisions on paper because it feels more consequential than a digital screen. Paperandpen respondents were more likely than iPad users to think their choices indicated their characters better.Researchers had other findings. They found shoppers were willing to pay more for reading materials in printed form than those they could only download online. Even the sight of someone handling something can help online sales. Similarly, people browsing(浏览) in a virtualreality(虚拟现实) shop was more willing to buy a Tshirt if they saw their own virtual hand touch it.9．How does the author lead in the topic?A．By telling a story.B．By giving examples.C．By raising questions.D．By describing a situation.10．Why can paper calendars make users stick to plans better?A．They are a better reminder.B．They can show more detailed plans.C.They provide chances for people to practice writing.D．They provide a better view of many days' plans at a time.11．Which of the following did paper influence based on Paragraph 3?A．Decision. B．Sympathy.C．Efficiency. D．Responsibility.12．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Paper posters will greatly promote sales online.B．Emagazines are thought less valuable than paper ones.C．Seeing others buy will increase one's purchasing desire.D．People prefer items made of paper instead of other materials.[答题区]阅读理解题型分类练(四)A【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。

高考英语二轮阅读理解精选专练系列及解析

2021高考英语二轮阅读理解精选专练系列〔01〕及解析AMonarch ButterfliesOne of the last West Coast homes of the Monarch butterfly, a type of insect may soon disappear. Strangely, it is in a town that calls itself Butterfly U.S.A., Pacific Grove, California.The town of Pacific Grove loves the butterflies. Every year they have a parade (游行) and hundreds of children dress up as butterflies. Monarch butterflies are the town mascot. Tourism is very important, and many people come to see the butterflies. The butterflies are good for the development of the town.In 1981 there were so many butterflies it looked like it was raining butterflies. Tens of thousands of Monarchs stayed on tree branches near Pacific Grove. Now there are not so many. The building goes on a little bit at a time, and you don’t notice it day by day. Over time, you can see that there has been a lot of development. As new buildings go up, many trees are cut down. This reduces the natural homes for the butterflies.Monarchs travel hundreds of miles each year, returning to the same woods, often to the same trees. The female Monarchs need milkweed to lay their eggs; the males will follow the females.Millions of Monarchs have traveled regularly along the same path for thousands of years. They start their trip in the mountains of Mexico and travel to the middle part of America. If the woods where the butterflies live are destroyed, the whole species (物种) could be lost. There have been Monarch butterflies along the coast of California for as long as man can remember, but no one is sure how much longer they will last.56．Which of the following is true about Monarch butterflies in Pacific GroveA．They have disappear.B．They come to stay every year.C．They help develop the town’s tourism.D．They give a name to Pacific Grove.57．The unde rlined word “mascot〞in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ________.A．a new type of butterflyB．an insect believed to bring good luckC．a parade organized by Pacific GroveD．a special dress for children in Pacific Grove 58．What problem do Monarch butterflies face now A．New buildings take up their living space.B．There has been too much rain in recent years.C．Their natural homes are destroyed by tourism.D．They have to travel a long distance to get home. 59．Where do Monarch butterflies start their trip to Pacific GroveA．From Central America. B．From the West Coast.C．From the West Coast. D．From Mexico.BIf there’s a child in your house who likes pixies(精灵),nature, or magic, Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure is sure to be a hit. This beautifully animated film(动画片)is a first class production in every way, and features the familiar voices of Kristin Chenoweth, Anjelica Huston, Jane Horrocks, Lucy Liu, and Raven Symone. The movie offers up an adventure that's easy enough to follow, but complex enough to hold one's attention, and even throws in a nice little moral about friendship. What can I say I'm pleasantly surprised.The up-and-coming Mae Whitman voices Tinker Bell herself, a far more dynamic character than we encountered in Peter Pan. Though Tinker still possesses her fiery temper, it doesn't manifest itself immediately, and takes a backseat to this pixie's many good qualities. As it turns out, Tinker Bell is extremely skilled at tinkering〔修补〕, so she is a natural choice to build a special scepter(拐杖)，for Pixie Hollow's Autumn Celebration. The scepter will hold the moonstone through which the light of the Blue Moon will pass, supplying Pixie Hollow with enough pixie dust for the year ahead.For days, Tinkers works hard on the perfect scepter design while her good friend Terrence does his best to assist. When Terrence accidentally breaks the Moon Stone, Tinker Bell "explodes" and sends him away. One of Tinker's more literal friends finds this extremely concerning, as she doesn't quite understand that the outburst was emotional rather than physical —very funny indeed.After hearing the legend of the lost treasure, Tinker Bell strikes out on her own to find a new Moon Stone. She faces many difficulties and meets new friends along the way, but when Terrence comes to the rescue at Tinker's darkest hour, she realizes the value of a truly loyal friend. Though the filmis engaging and offers a positive message to young viewers, it's the animation that makes Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure stand out. Pixie Hollow is an enchanting, visually stunning world basked in lush colors. It's so lovely, so detailed, so three-dimensional that you almost want to step inside.60．From the first paragraph, we can learn that .A．many famous actors acted important roles in the film B．the plot of the film is attractive and easy to understand C．the write feels surprised at the message of friendship in the filmD．the film Tinker Bill and the Lost Treasure may disappoint you if you love magic tales61．What’s the correct order of the following details a．Tinker Bell realizes the value of a truly loyal friend.b．Terrence breaks the Moon Stone by accident.c．Tinker Bell is determined to build a special scepter.d．Terrence comes to the rescue when Tinkers was in trouble.A．c b d a B．b c d a C．b c a d D．c d a b 62．In the writer’s opinion, the characteristics of Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure are the following EXCEPT .A．the attractive detailsB．the lively animation charactersC．the three-dimensional animationD．the moving love story between Tinker Bell and Terrence 63．The article picked from a website is a(n) .A．movie poster B．movie review C．introduction to a book D．person introductionCWhen a Filipino lady is to be married, she will be the busiest person in the scene. She wants her big day to be great and memorable because most Filipinos marry only once. The bride-to be, usually loses weight before her big day because of stress, Those who can afford to pay for a wedding planner are free from worries. But average Filipinos who have no wedding planner have many things to prepare. Most brides starts with the with the small details.The color or the designLadies are particular about color combinations. They will make sure that the flowers will perfectly match the dresses of the bride’s maids and the flower girls. The small flower worn by the wedding host is in perfect combination with the whole design.The souvenirs(纪念品)Most Filipino brides make their own wedding souvenirs to give away to their guests. They will buy the material and make the souvenirs themselves. They will spend their precious time to make them very attractive to their guests. They will be satisfied when their guests say,“Wow, I like it,〞To them, it’s worth the hard work.Preparing the invitations is a stressful job for the bride and the groom. They will starts with the listings of all possible guests. It’s stressful because if their budget is good only for50 people and the expected guests on the list is 100, there isa problem. Filipinos think their friends and relatives will feel bad if they do not receive an invitation; whether they can attend or not, they are expecting an invitation. Usually, the couple will stretch their budget for the extras just not to disappoint friends and relatives.64．Filipino ladies to be marred will .A．not have to worry B．have much work to doC．invite a wedding planner D．organize the wedding all by herself65．What can we infer from the passageA．The wedding host can wear any flower.B．The wedding souvenirs are usually expensiveC．A Filipino lady gets married only once because of stress.D．Even if a friend can’t attend a wedding, he still wants to receive an invitation.66．What’s the best title of the last paragraphA．The Wedding Invitations B．The Wedding DressC．The Wedding Budget D．The Wedding Problem 67．The writer wrote the passage to .A．tell us how to have a happy weddingB．tell us the Filipino wedding traditionC．teach us how to write wedding invitation cardsD．show us how a Filipino lady prepare for a weddingDSome people who find themselves unable to solve a problem react by just giving up . But it is not good to escape from problems by giving up or by making excuses for failures. You may be sure that all young people go through the same difficult process that you are going through：meeting new situations, developing new skills, and testing their abilities.If you are unhappy about something, face it. Try to state the problem in a few words, so that you will know exactlywhat you are up against. Then see if you can put your finger on the cause of your unhappiness.In many cases, we only “think〞there is no solution to a particular problem. But often we can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.For example, a boy wanted to be a debater. When he tried out for the debating team as a freshman , the coach thought he was hopeless .He was shy ; he had a high-pitched 〔音调〕voice ; and his posture 〔体态〕was poor . Although he was given little hope of success, he took advantage of very opportunity to debate. He studied successful speakers and sized up his own weaknesses and assets. Then he spent many hours learning all the facts on the topics for debate, and worked a developing good posture and at speaking clearly. By his junior year, he made the school debating team, and in his senior year he was on the winning team in his state. He achieved his goal because he had made a direct attack upon his problem.Although direct attack is often the best way to meet problems, we have to be realistic in judging situations. Sometimes it is necessary to change either the tactics 〔策略〕or the goal .A boy who wants to be a great football player may be too light and not quite fast enough for football. In this situation, becoming a great football player may be an unreasonable goal for him. However, he may become outstanding in tennis or golf, and satisfy his desire to take part in sports.A girl who had plain features may decide that she cannot win popularity with her face, and so she may try to develop an interesting personality, which eventually will get her much further. In this situation, she must change her method of achieving her goal.So, although direct attack is often the best way to handle problems, it is important to study the situation and make a wise decision about what to do.68．The underlined phrase in the second paragraph probably means .A．point out B．look into C．press down D．give up 69．What does the author mean by taking example from the boy who wanted to be a debaterA．We can escape from problems by making excuses for failures.B．We can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.C．It is necessary to change our method of achieving our goal.D．It is important to be realistic in judging situations. 70．Which of the following can be the main idea of the text A．Some people who find themselves unable to solve a problem react by just giving up.B．If you are unhappy about something, face it, and try to state the problem in a few words.C．All young people go through the same difficult process that you are going through.D．Although direct attack is often the best way to handle problems, it is important to study the situation andmake a wise decision about what to do.71．The writer expresses his arguments by .A．reasoning and giving examples B．introducing and making comparisonsC．explaining and giving figures D．describing and making commentsEMy bookshelves are full of dust — and with good reason. When it comes to cleaning that part of my home, I suffer from the most serious case of avoidance (回避反响症).The thing is this: when I do set out to clean and re-organize my books, which seldom happens, I place myself into a really bad situation. No sooner do I take a title from the shelf, blow off the dust, and wipe down the cover than I find myself sitting on the floor with legs crossed and my back against the wall. Pretty soon books get piled up on my legs as I am reunited with old friends.It is as if these books have voices, and each wants to say its piece. “Remember me I was given to you when you went into the Navy, so that you would never lack for companionship,〞one whispers. Another says, “I was your first book of poems, given to you before you learned to love poetry.〞And a third, “I was the book that made history so attractive to you.〞Perhaps the greatest pleasure of re-organizing my books are the surprises — or better said, reunions — that occur. During my latest book-cleaning adventure, I found one that had fal len behind the shelf: “Tales of Edgar Allan Poe.〞Not an unusual title, but the words written on the first page made it very special: “With Love from Mom and Dad, C hristmas 1965.〞What’s this A book on the physics of lasers〔激光〕. It is filled with mathematical statements, and I had bought itat a library sale when I was 12, not long after the laser had been invented. I couldn’t understand a bit of it, but I did learn what “laser〞meant.What I end up with when I empty my bookshelves is a cross-section (横剖面) of my personal history. It’s like a road cut where one sees all the layers of rock going back through time to the beginning of the simplest life forms. The books I’ve read — and kept — are not just old friends. They are my résumé.72．What can be inferred about the authorA．He is too busy to tidy up his bookshelves.B．He considers his books treasured possessions.C．He has made a lot of notes in his books.D．He is a lover of science books.73．By saying that his books have voices, the author means .A．they bring back happy memoriesB．they are recorded in human voiceC．they say a lot about human historyD．they offer good topics for discussion74．What does the author enjoy most from re-organizing his booksA．Finding some missing books.B．Putting books in good order.C．Learning something new from the books.D．Rediscovering interesting stories behind some books. 75．By sharing his own experience, the author wants to express that .A．the course of cleaning his bookshelves is like going back to his historyB．he has suffered from the most serious case of avoidanceC．the re-organizing of his books is a surprising adventureD．the books on his bookshelves have voices参考答案。

Our little car spun off the road, squealing (发出长而尖的声音) as Dad tried to bring it under control. Then everything was suddenly dark. The next thing I remembered was being told I wasn't going to walk again.Mom and I learned to live with it. Dad t ook it hard.“Sometimes I think he blames himself，” Mom said. “Whenever he sees you in the wheelchair he wants to put it out of his mind.”One day Mr. Evans, an elder in our neighborhood, asked me if I wanted to join a wheelchair basketball team he was starting. When I told Mom, she was all for it, but Dad just looked at me and mumbled (嘟哝) something. I didn't know what to make of Dad's reaction, but I knew I wanted to play.I began my first practice on a Friday afternoon. What surprised me most was that I found Dad sitting in the stand and watched us go through our drills. We finished our regular practice, and Mr. Evans motioned for my father to come down to the court.“Jim, I happen to know that you played pro basketball，” Mr. Evans said. “I think you can s how the kids some fundamentals.” Dad agreed he would like to give it a try.We practiced the whole summer. Dad came every day. “I thought you were terrible at first，” he said one afternoon. “But I think you can play with Madison (a very good teen wheelchai r basketball team) now.”Dad only comes to practice once in a while now, but he comes to the games when they're on the weekend. I didn't want to push him because I liked him coming to practice, and Mom didn't mind at all.“Jim, if you were in a wheelchair，” she asked, “do you think you could play as well as Chris？”Dad was on his laptop and looked over the screen at Mom and mumbled something.I figured he was saying that there was no way he could play as well as me in a wheelchair, but I didn't ask him to repeat it.1．How might Jim feel about his son's disability?A．Angry.

D．Confused.2．What was Jim's initial reaction to the idea of his son playing wheelchair basketball?A．He was all for it.B．He argued with his wife.C．He chose to consult Mr. Evans.D．He avoided giving a definite answer.3．What did Mr. Evans ask Jim to do?A．Help the team get better.B．Pick up his old hobbies.C．Lift his son's spirit.D．Act as a judge for the team.4．What message does the text convey?A．Experience is better gained through practice.B.Parents learn a lot from educating their children.C．Children cannot succeed without the support of their family.D.Difficulties in life cannot block the path to achieving dreams.B[2022·广东省七校高三第二次联考]When we were born, we were perfect. As we grow, we develop many complexities due to many influences in our lives. Our brain collects and saves all kinds of information from the moment we were born. Apart from our brain having memory, cells in our body have their own memory, meaning that our body stores memories, both physiologically and psychologically. We are complex emotional beings in nature compared with any other living thing.Apparently, physiological and psychological memories strongly influence our emotions! Interestingly, we can create, store and release emotions like energy. Moreover, if we do not process our negative emotions properly and suppress (压制) them for a long time, they can find a way out violently and unexpectedly. Unfortunately, we carr y our guilt throughout our lives putting the everincreasing burden on our shoulders.Both guilt and anger are useless for us. Therefore, one may ask: Is there a way to put down the burden from our shoulders? It is possible, indeed. Importantly, since our guilt and anger inside us are neither released nor given attention to, they are stored. Actually, we should take action to address our negative emotions in order to remove them from our system.We cannot just wish them away.In fact, by acknowledging their presence and providing a channel for them, we can dissolve our emotions gradually. Is there a better way to unload our burden? Luckily, we have a natural gift for processing our feelings and emotions—forgiveness.Indeed, forgiving ourselves is a great way to dissolve negative emotions. Of course, we should also learn to readily forgive others, and when we learn to forgive ourselves, we also naturally forgive others.In summary, it is no good carrying our years of emotional baggage. By forgiving, we can throw away the emotional baggage we carry for years. Forgive your past mistakes.

The banana in your lunch that turned brown. The leftovers in the fridge that you forgot to eat. For most people, all that food goes right into the garbage can.Eight to ten percent of global greenhouse gas emissions (排放物) are related to food waste, according to a report by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Chang e. “When you throw away an egg or a sandwich，” says Yvette Cabrera, food waste director at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)，“you're also throwing away all the resources that went into producing those things.”They include not only all the water, land, and fertilizer (肥料) that went into producing that food, but also the massive amounts of fossil fuels used to power the farms, transport the food, and create the packaging.Then there's the issue of what happens to food after it's thrown out. More food ends up in U．S. landfills than any other type of trash. Food rotting in landfills produces methane (甲烷), a greenhouse gas that's roughly 25 times more powerful at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, which is produced by burning fossil fuels.Food waste is a difficult problem to solve, though, in part because it happens for different reasons depending on the country. In developing nations, 40 percent of food is lost before it ever reaches people's homes, because many of those countries lack the technology and tools to preserve food.It's another story in wealthier countries, where most of the food is wasted in people's kitchens. Americans, for example, throw out a quarter of their groceries each year, on average, according to the NRDC. That's like going to the grocery store, leaving with four bags of groceries, and then throwing one of them into the garbage before you get home.9．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．The problem of food waste.B．The awareness of food saving.C．The necessity of food diversity.D．The ways of food preservation.10．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．The leftovers in the fridge.B．The packaging materials of products.C．The thrown eggs or sandwiches.D．The resources to produce food.11．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4?A．Provide a persuasive example.B．Add more background information.C．Discuss a more serious consequence.D．Summarize the previous paragraphs.12．In what stage does food waste mainly happen in developed countries?A．Storage.

Go to buy yourself a ticket to Sweeney Todd tomorrow. It'll change your life，’” Elder said. Elder never got the man's name—just $200 and a photo.Elder had never seen Sweeney Todd, so he bought “a great seat”. Starring in that production was the legendary Patti LuPone. “That did not seem real. Patti LuPone... she seemed like a person you read about in a book or heard about somewhere, but not someone you saw perform，” Elder said.He th en tried his best to earn a place on the stage. LuPone is now his costar in the hit musical Company—a turning point of fate that goes back to the stranger who gave him the means to watch one of Broadway's biggest productions. “It takes that kind of generosity to show you what generosity can be, to turn around and do it again，” Elder said.Giving back is now a big part of his life. Once a month, he and his 4yearold son pay for a stranger's meal at their local diner. Recently, he has started giving away free tickets to his show through social media.After every performance, Elder takes a picture with the strangers he buys tickets for and hangs the photos in his dressing room. “I hope that it awakens something in them, just like it did in me，” he said. “What I hope happens is that these people are shown some sort of sincere kindness from a stranger and hopefully in turn go out and do something kind for somebody who they don't know.”4．How did Elder feel when he saw Patti LuPone perform?A．Moved and grateful.B．Inspired but worried.C．Curious but doubtful.D．Surprised and excited.5．What did Elder do after seeing Sweeney Todd?A．He took Patti LuPone as his teacher.B．He tried to contact the stranger.C．He trained hard to become an actor.D．He created Company with Patti LuPone.6．Why does Elder give free tickets to those strangers?A．To get personal popularity.B．To take photos with them.C．To inspire them to do good deeds.D．To help them know more about his show.7．What is the best title for the text?A．An Act of Kindness Goes FarB．Hard Work Always Pays OffC．Luck Falls in an Unexpected WayD．A Good Play Can Change Your LifeCSherry Gao is pouring coffee made from singleorigin beans, hoping that her Mandarin Coffee Stand in the city of Pasadenawill, California introduces you to your new favorite coffee and turns your preconceptions about Chinese coffee beans upside down.Much of the Western world imports its coffee from Africa and South America. But Gao hopes that throwing light on Yunnansourced coffee could expose customers to the coffeeproducing region and help to break down prejudice against the beans, which for decades, until only a few years ago, were primarily used for instant products.“We wanted to highlight Chinese coffee because a lot of people nev er had Chinese coffee before，” Gao said. “Some have the mindset that it's bad or it's cheap, but that's not the case anymore. It's been changing so much over the last decade.”Recent experimentation with processing, such as the addition of fruit or sugarcane molasses during the production, is leading Yunnan's coffee to more flavorful results. “Every time a new product comes in, it tastes better than the last one，” Gao said.Farmers in China have grown tea for more than 3，000 years, but coffee has been grown there for only about a century in small quantities, with an uptick in the 1980s with government involvement. And the turn of the century and the 2010s saw a sharp growth with international corporations investing in the region's crops, initially for use in instant coffee.But in the last 10 to 15 years, tastes and demand for specialty and highgrade coffees emerged, especially from local growers and shops. The domestic demand for Chinagrown coffee has risen so dramatically that Gao says it's now much more expensive.To further connect with the community, Gao hopes to one day host classes for interactive howto events. After all, she says, the Yunnan coffee tastes excellent when made in one's own kitchen with a pourover system and she hopes it's only a matter of time before home specialty coffee enthusiasts catch on too.8．What's a misunderstanding of Chinese coffee beans?A．They are of poor quality.B．They have limited producing areas.C．They have a mild taste.D．They are used for flavored coffee.9．Wha t does the underlined word “uptick” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Output. B．Increase.C．Option. D．Investment.10．What does Sherry Gao expect to do in future?A．Offer community members coffee for free.B．Buy a pourover system for her shop.C．Teach people to make Chinese coffee at home.D．Keep up with home specialty coffee fans.11．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A．Entertainment. B．Health.C．Education. D．Business.D[2023·山东省日照市三模]A new wearable device that wraps around your finger like a plaster can harvest sweat while you sleep and use it to generate electricity, according to the developers from University of California, San Diego.Most power producing wearable device require wearers to perform intense exercise or depend on external sources such as sunlight or large changes in temperature. But the new strip uses a passive system to generate electricity from sweat in your fingertips, even if you are sleeping or sitting completely still. This is because the finger tips are the sweatiest part of the body. So, thanks to a smart sponge material, this can be collected and processed by conductors.The energy harvester produced small amounts of electricity when the wearer presses down or starts to sweat, or from light finger tapping. It does this by converting activities like typing, texting, or playing the piano into extra charge.Finger tips have one of the highest concentrations of sweat grands in the body, with coach finger producing between 100 and 1，000 times more sweat than most other areas, according to the researchers.Cofirst author doctoral student Mr. Bin said: “The reason why we feel sweatier on other parts of the body is that those spots are not well ventilated (通风的). By contrast, the finger tips are always exposed to air, so the sweat evaporated as it comes out. So rather than letting it evaporate, we use our device to collect this sweat, and it can generate a significant amount of energy.”The device is equipped with electrical conductors or electrode (电极) made from a carbon foam, which absorbs any finger sweat. Enzyme (酶) on the electrode then cause a chemical sweat molecule to generate electricity.The device only stores up a little bit power at the moment, and would take about three weeks of constant wear to power a smart phone, but the researchers hope to increase capacity in future.12．How is the new device different from other wearables?A．It is costeffective.B．It is harmless to skin.C．It required no exercise.D．It produced electricity.13．What does the underlined word “evaporate” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Changes into a gas.B．Freezes in the air.C．Drops to the ground.D．Becomes bigger in amount.14．What is the disadvantage of the device?A．It is extremely small in size.B．It is very difficult to operate.C．It has a very limited power capacity.D．It relies much on temperature changes.15．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Sweats FingertipsB．Power from FingertipsC．An Electrical ConductorD．A Rechargeable Device[答题区]阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment re cently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycli ng in the home is very important of course. However, being fo rced to recycle often means we already have more material th an we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in th e first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 19 99 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the . In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environ ment. The , for example, is running out of areas for burying thi s unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off gr eenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solut ion is not to produce such items in the first place. Food wasteis a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of th em are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, en couraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example. But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. W e have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have l earned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide ran ge of consumer products, which often have far more packagin g than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are begin ning to realise just how much unnecessary material we are co llecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer c ulture, but we have a mountain to climb.1. What does the underlined phrase “that over-consumption” refer to?A. Using too much packaging.B. Recycling too many wastes.C. Making more products than necessary.D. Having more material than is needed.2. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show .A. the tendency of cutting household wasteB. the increase of packaging recyclingC. the rapid growth of supermarketsD. the fact of packaging o veruse3. According to the text, recycling .A. helps control the greenhouse effectB. means burning packaging for energyC. is the solution to gas shortageD. leads to a waste of land4. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D. Other products are better packaged than food.5. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.B. Needless material is mostly recycled.C. People like collecting recyclable wastes.D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.【参考答案】1-5 DDACAAAt one time it was the dream for many little girls to become a nurse．Today, however, America is facing its worst nurse sho rtage since World War I. Recently about 2, 000, 000 nurses ar e needed and 60 percent of all hospitals in the have shortage s large enough to threaten（= say that you will hurt somebody if they don't do what you want）the quality of care provided. The demand for nurses spreads widely throughout the nursing field.What has become of these women in white? The answer lies i n not one but several causes.One possibility is the fact that woman have greater career opti ons （职业选择）. In the past, women who chose to work outside the hom e had two basic choices nursing or teaching. Today, more wo men than ever are in the work force, but their options have gr eatly increased. There are women doctors, lawyers, firefighter s and police officers. In fact, women today are found in nearly every field of work. Nursing has been left behind, as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status（地位）. A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as “merely a nurse”. Teachers may be also at fault. M any high school students are actually being steered（劝导）away from nursing, told by teachers that they are “too bright t o be a nurse”.Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more med ical attention. In fact, the number of elderly patients has almos t doubled in the past twenty years. Obviously a larger populati on requires more nurses. AIDS and other diseases have caus ed more and more people to need nursing care. Usually fatal diseases mean long drawn - out hospital stay, that is to say, more nurses are needed to care for these patients. It is estim ated that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the coming ten years.21．Why is facing its worst nurse shortage?A. Because the demand of nurses has been doubled.B. Because more and more women prefer to be teachers and doctors.C. Because women have been provided with many different jo bs.D. Because women no longer choose to be nurses.22．The passage tells us that high school teachers are at faul t for________.A. not mentioning the worst nurse shortage in theB. introducing jobs with higher pay and greater status to their studentsC. not asking the government to raise the nurses’ paymentD. persuading the students not to be nurses23．The author wrote this passage in order to________.A. describe the unequal treatment of women in theB. warn people to pay more attention to the nursing problemC. tell us women’s free choice of jobs todayD. call on women not to be nurses24．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. high school students think themselves too bright to be nurs es．B. Women in the have greater career choice than those in ot her countries.C. Of all the hospitals in the world 60 percent more nurses are badly needed.D. Nursing used to be a popular job among women.参考答案21—24 CDBDBOne thinks of princes and presidents as some of the most po werful people in the world; however, governments, elected or otherwise, sometimes have had to struggle with the financial powerhouses called tycoons. The word tycoon is relatively ne w to the English language. It is Chinese in origin but was give n as a title to some Japanese generals. The term was brought to the , in the late nineteenth century, where it eventually was used to refer to magnates who acquired immense fortunes fr om sugar and cattle, coal and oil, rubber and steel, and railroa ds. Some people called these tycoons “capitals of industry” an d praised them for their contributions to wealth and internatio nal reputation. Others criticized them as cruel “robber barons”, who would stop at nothing in pursuit of personal wealth.The early tycoons built successful businesses, often taking ov er smaller companies to eliminate competition. A single comp any that came to control an entire market was called a monop oly. Monopolies made a few families very wealthy, but they al so placed a heavy financial burden on consumers and the eco nomy at large.As the country expanded and railroads linked the East Coast t o the West Coast, local monopolies turned into national corpo rations called trusts. A trust is a group of companies that join t ogether under the control of a board of trustees. Railroad trust s are an excellent example. Railroads were privately owned a nd operated and often monopolized various routes, setting rat es as high as they desired. The financial burden this placed o n passengers and businesses increased when railroads forme d trusts. Farmers, for example, had no choice but to pay, as r ailroads were the only means they could use to get their grain to buyers. Exorbitant (过高的) goods rates put some farmers out of business.There were even accusations that the trusts controlled government itself by buying votes and manipulating elected officials. In 1890 Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust. Act, legislati on aimed at breaking the power of such trusts. The Sherman Antitrust Act focused on two main issues. First of all, it made il legal any effort to interfere with the normal conduct of interstat e trade. It also made it illegal to monopolize any part of busine ss that operates across state lines.Over the next 60 years or so, Congress passed other antitrust laws in an effort to encourage competition and restrict the po wer of larger corporations.25. The Antitrust Act_______________.A. affected only the companies doing business within state lin esB. sought to eliminate monopolies in favor of competitio n in the market-placeC. promoted trade with a large number of nationsD. provides a financial advantage to the buyer26. One might infer from this passage that lower prices _____ ____.A. are more likely to exist in a competitive market economyB. usually can be found only in an economy based on monop oliesC. matter only to people who are poor and living below the po verty levelD. are regulated by the government27. It seems likely that many Americans____________.A. believed that the trusts had little influence over governmentB. expected the wealthy magnates to share money with the p oorC. did little to build up American businessD. were worried that trusts might manipulate the government 参考答案25、B 26—27、ADCAt one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour. That was the law until 1896. A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. At night the man had to carry a red lamp.Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to , but he wan ted to drive faster than four miles an hour. In order to have no trouble with the police, he had a talk with some of the police o fficers, who ordered their policemen to look the other way whe n the car came along the road. This was a good plan in the co untry, but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of .One night Rolls and some friends started from London on thei r journey to . One of the men walked in front with the red lamp , but he walked as fast as he could. The police became very i nterested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car and not one of them saw it. They reached a hill, but what a waste of time it was to drive d own the hill at four miles an hour! Rolls was getting ready to ju mp into the car, but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. The slow car reached him. “Good evening,” said the policeman, looking at the car.“Good evening,” said Rolls, holding the lamp.“One of these horseless things,” said the policeman, looking a t it with interest.“Yes,” said Rolls, and waited.“I’ve often wanted a ride in one, but of course policemen can’t buy things like that.” He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls’s face.“Jump in,” said Rolls.“Thanks,” said the policeman, and did so. “Now,” he said, sitti ng down, “You can let it go just as you like down this hill. Ther e isn’t another policeman on this road for a mile and a half.”28．The policemen were told “to look the other way” so that _ ______.A. they could watch the car coming from the other directionB. Rolls’s car could go faster than four miles an hourC. they could make sure no one was in the wayD. the car would not hit them on the road29．In what way did the policemen carry out the order from th eir officers?A. They greeted Rolls when the car came along.B. They walked in front of the car with a red lamp.C. They pretended to be attracted by something else.D. They stood on duty every 1.5 miles along the road. 30．The policeman who said “Good evening” to Rolls wanted to _______.A. teach Rolls a lessonB. take a free ride homeC. have a talk with RollsD. have a car ride experience31．After the policeman jumped into the car, Rolls _______.A. dared not drive the car faster than he was allowed toB. could drive as fast as he wished within a certain distanceC. could drive on any road he liked for the rest of the journeyD. drove his car as fast as he could down the hill to参考答案28—30、BCD 31、BDCenturies ago, man discovered that removing moisture(潮湿)from food helps to store it, and that the easiest way to do t his is to expose the food to sun and wind. In this way the Nort h American Indians produce pemmican(dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes), the Scandinavians make sto ckfish and the Arabs dried dates.All foods include water—cabbage and other leaf vegetables contains as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean meat 75 % and fish, anything from 80% to 60%, depending on how fatt y it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria(细菌)which cause food to go bad is checked.Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor, Greece, Spain and other Mediterranean c ountries, and also in California, South Africa and . Various me thods are used, but in general, the fruit is spread out on trays i n drying yards in the hot sun.Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically. The method of such dehydration(脱水)is to put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110℃ at entry to about 43℃ at exit. T his is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced(切碎的)meat, and fish.Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same f ood packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stor ed in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluabl e to the climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives bec ause it takes so little time to cook them. Usually it is just a cas e of replacing the dried-out moisture with boiling water. 32．According to the text, the open-air method of drying food .A．is the one most commonly used todayB．was invented by the American IndiansC．has been known for hundreds of yearsD．tends to be unhealthy33．Bacteria which cause food to go bad .A．cannot live in sunlightB．are killed by dryingC．are in no way dependent on the water containedD．have their activity greatly reduced by drying 34．Today vegetables are most commonly dried .A．on hot and sunny days B．in hot-air chambersC．in the sun and wind D．using the open tray m ethod35．Housewives like dried foods because they .A．are quick to prepare B．taste better tha n fresh foodsC．can be packed in a case D．look fresh when c ooked参考答案32—35、CDBA高考英语二轮阅读理解选练（2）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

2022高考英语二轮（阅读理解）珍品练习（12）及解析（******）The modern Olympic Games were founded with the intention of improving health and education, promoting world peace, and encouraging fair and equal competition. But over the years, the olympic saying, "faster, higher, stronger", has pushed scientists as well as athletes to do everything possible to reach new levels.Doctors, engineers and coaches all use everyting science has to offer to achieve that little bit extra in competition. The reason modern technology has become part of sport is very simple: winning is just as important as it was 2,500 years ago at the olympics of ancient Greece. Developments in technology have often been reflected in the methods of training and per- formance at the olympics through history. This technology falls into two main groups: improving an athlet's performance in competition, and allowing results to be measured more accurately.One of the creations that has drawn the most attention is the new high-tech swimsuit from Speedo, which was used by many US swimmers in Athens. Until Sydney 2000, it was thought that the smaller the swimsuit, the faster the swimmer would travel."However, the fact that at the Sydney Olympics,28 of the 33 gold medalists were wearing the body covering Fastskin suit proved the theory was out of date, "said Andy Thomas, vicepresident of Speed.The company's full body suit is supposed to make swim- mers 3 to 4 percent faster, particularly when turning or diving into the water. It is believed that the suit creates less water re- sistance as it moves, behaving more like a shark skin than a human skin.The introduction of high-tech equipment means that athletes in all sports, from 100-metre sprint to the pole vault,can now train more effectively.Meanwhile, scientific devlopment also means performances can be measured and studied more accurately. Not only are winning times more accurately recorded, but cheating athletes are easier to catch out. Athens 20典型例题nizers promised to use only the very latest equipment to measure distance and speed.1. Which is not the first aim of the modern Olympic Games?A. Improving health and education.B. Promoting world peace.C. Encouraging fair and equal competition.D.

The reason modern technology has become part of sport is that people______.A.. make every effort to win medalsB. do their best to invent new sports equipmntC. try to test their abilitiesD. want to improve their condition of competition答案: A 由第二段第二句"The reason modern technology has become part of sport is verysimple：winning is just as imortant as it was2，500years ago at the Olympics of ancient Greece”知，A选项(努力赢得奖牌)最符合文章。

I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists that have inspired me by their natural talents and original creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by theircontributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father.As the youngest girl in my family, I always considered myself to be “Daddy’s little girl〞. While I grew up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around. This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children’s lives. In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel, so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among my people. Whenever I feel like giving up, or have a question or a concern, I know I can always call on him for advice. From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others’ needs ahead of your own, but you should make sure you are not taken advantage of by others. His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion for people, and sense of understanding. He is a very reserve d man, but to everybody’s surprise, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends.Living in his affection and instruction, I am very proud of my father.

Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping. Or is it?Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (阅读) various websites. The claim made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim of fraud (HY) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.Another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue. Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated (使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work you have taken to receive it!Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.9. The author lists several questions in Para. 1 to .A. support online shoppingB. collect answers from readersC. show his dislike of going shoppingD. introduce the topic of the passage10. By what can online shoppers avoid fraud?A. Using only trusted websites.B. Choosing big websites.C. Collecting shopping evidence.D. Seeking advice from the police.11. The author agrees with the fact that ______.A. customers are never satisfied with productsB. online shopping is a safe way to make purchasesC. online shopping has nothing to do with global warmingD. delivery delay often makes online shoppers unhappy12. What is the author’s attitude towards online shopping?A. Very popular.B. A wise choice.C. Not trouble free.D. A waste of time.参考答案9—12 DADCDWhen Luca first heard of the Island of Inventions, he was still very young. But its wonders sounded so incredible that they were forever burned in his memory. From that moment, he never stopped searching for clues which might lead him to the island. He read hundreds of adventure books, histories, volumes of physics and chemistry,even music.Over time, he pieced together his idea of what the Island of Inventions was like. It was a secret place, where all the great wise men of the world would meet to learn and invent together. Access to the island was totally restricted. To join, you had to have created some great invention for humanity. Only then could you receive the special invitation — which came with directions to the island.So Luca spent his youth studying and inventing. Every new idea he got, he made it into an invention, and if there were something he didn't understand, he’d seek others to help him. Soon he met other young inventors and he told them about the Island of Inventions. They too dreamed of one day receiving an invitation letter.As years passed, the disappointment of not receiving their invitation made Luca and his friends work harder and co-operate more. They would meet in Luca's house, share their ideas and build new machines. Their inventions became known throughout the world, and improved the lives of millions.But still, no invitation came.They didn’t lose heart. They continued learning and inventing every day, trying to come up with more and better ideas. Fresh young talent joined their group, as more inventors dreamed of getting to the island.One day many years later, Luca, already very old, was speaking with a brilliant young man named Roberts, who had written to him, asking him to join the group. Luca started telling the man of the wonderful Island of Inventions, and of how he wassure that some day they would receive an invitation. Surprised, the young inventor interrupted: “You mean this place isn’t the Island of Inventions? Isn't the letter you sent me the real invitation?〞It was only then that Luca realised that his dream had become true in his very own house. No island could exist which would be better than where he was now. No place of invention would be better than what he and his friends had created. Luca felt happy to know that he had always been on the island, and that his life of invention and study had been a truly happy one.13. Why did Luca and his colleagues probably never receive an invitation to the island?A. Their ideas were not considered worthy enough.B. They were too concerned with acquiring fame.C. The organization had already broken up.D. The island was not a real place.14. What did Luca learn at the end of the story?A. The island of inventions did not exist.B. He had wasted most of his life.C. He had unknowingly built his own dreamland.D. He finally would receive his invitation.15. Which of the following best describes Luca?A. Aggressive.B. Trusting.C. Creative.D. Easy-going.参考答案13—15 DCC。

Many martial arts were invented because people needed to defend themselves or protect others. Nowadays, people learn martial arts as a way of keeping fit or as a competitive sport, but they are still very useful for selfdefense.Martial arts are often referred to as either the soft ones or the hard ones. These terms imply a way of dealing with your opponent's force. Soft martial arts, such as tai chi, teach you to use your opponent's force to defend yourself. Soft styles allow you to use flowing movements and timing to avoid your opponent's attacks. These martial arts are soft for the defender but not for the attacker! On the other hand, hard styles such as kung fu, teach you to defend yourself using force.Techniques involve blocking, posturing, powerful hitting and kicking. Hard martial arts techniques are more effective if you are more skillful, more powerful and faster than your opponent.Perhaps one of the best known Japanese martial arts today is karate. But did you know that its roots are derived from Fujian Province? In the 4th century, a community of Chinese migrants from Fujian settled in what was then the kingdom of Okinawa. The Chinese migrants used to gather in a park to enjoy cultural activities—one of which was kung fu. This soon caught the attention of local youths, who started learning kung fu from their Chinese neighbours.In fact, Chinese influence in martial arts was not limited to kung fu. The very first Korean military training guidebook was based on a Chinese version. During the Japanese invasion of Korea in the 16th century, the Korean army needed an effective way to train a large number of troops. They adopted a training methodology (方法) from a Chinese military book called Ji Xiao Xin Shu, written by the famous Chinese general Qi Jiguang.4．Why did people invent martial arts?A．For keeping fit.B．For selfdefense.C．For competition.D．For attacking others.5．Which is the character of soft martial arts?A．Using violence to attack others.B．Attacking your opponent's weakness.C．Using smooth action to defend yourself from damage.D．Defending yourself with powerful hitting and kicking.6．Who spread karate?A．The Chinese army.B．The Korean military.C．Japanese troops.D．Chinese migrants.7．Why did the Korean army adopt a training methodology from Ji Xiao Xin Shu?A．To train soldiers.B．To keep soldiers fit.C．To attend cultural activities.D．To show admiration for Qi Jiguang.C[2022·云南省第一次高三检测]Italy's cheap old homes continue to appeal to hundreds of interested buyers, among whom was Roy Patrick, a British who deals in antiques in Italy. Patrick bought an old schoolhouse in the mountain village of Carrega Ligure for $16，500. It's both an adventure and a joy.Patrick bought the property quite by accident. When told about the wonders of the village, he toured there to take a look and was instantly struck by the 1930s school building. “The house is very special and the view is unique—the way the sun goes down over the mountains, you'd say‘wow'. It's a fantastic wonderland，” says Patrick.The property was offloaded by the local government to boost the populations of communities in decline. Since the purchase, he's been visiting every two weeks and finds it has many charms. “Top of the list is the friendliness of the local residents, followed by the breathtaking views I get out of the windows looking across the valley，” he adds.Patrick's initial encounter with his new home was less than promising. He had to climb through a window to open up the building, which had been shut for decades and whose door was jammed, with the keys nowhere to be found.However, a later structural disaster turned into a positive story. When an unstable chimney collapsed due to a heavy snow, a neighbor volunteered to climb onto his roof to make it safe. The locals are so welcoming that they are ready to help newcomers.During the restoration needed to make the old school habitable, Patrick unexpectedly unearthed a great many treasures: dusty piles of old textbooks,inkwells, pupil registers and other historical items.Patrick has some advice for those with the thought of buying a house in Carrega Ligure: There is absolutely nothing, just great views, pure air and clean surroundings. There are no bars, supermarkets, or restaurants. A vehicle is essential to move around. However, Carrega Ligure does spring to life in the summer when vacationers arrive to relax. “There are nights when people throw a party with loud music，” says Patrick.“Otherwise it's just singing birds and total silence.”8．What led to Patrick's purchase of the old schoolhouse?A．The locals' friendly attitude.B．Its location and rising value.C．Its uniqueness and surroundings.D．The government's housing welfare.9．What was the government's intention of selling the property?A．To attract more settlers.B．To boost local tourism.C．To preserve village traditions.D．To reform the education system.10．What's one of Patrick's added bonuses of getting the house?A．Acquiring more personal space.B．Digging up some historical finds.C．Enjoying a more active social life.D．Getting free home decoration service.11．How does it feel most of the time living in Carrega Ligure?A．Quiet.
