A.they are easy to communicate with othersB.they are good at doing their schoolworkC.they are hopeful and optimistic about their lifeD.they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day3.The underlined word “gloomy〞 in Paragraph 3 probably means “〞.A.upset B.gloriousC.happy D.wealthy4.What can be the best title for the text?A.The Way to Educate KidsB.The Source of HappinessC.How to Achieve Your GoalD.The Secret of Being WealthierBNowadays many people are concerned about the problem of what to do with electronic waste such as old televisions,computers,radios,cellular telephones and other electronic equipment.Electronic trash,or e­waste,is piling up faster than ever in American homesand businesses.People do not know what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.National Solid Waste Management Association (NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans product is not unexpected.The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year,and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills(垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs.They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts.Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore says,“There are lots of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill,and in certain components there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill.〞Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide.Thirteen years ago,it was only about 6 percent.Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in order to keep e­waste poisons like lead(铅) and mercury(汞) out of garbage dumps.This year several states like Vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills.More than 25 other states have also adopted bans on e­waste in landfills.Chaz Miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.“We can do much better,〞 noted Miller,“I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers.〞5.Which of the following does NOT belong to e­waste?A.Old televisions. B.Old computers.C.Old cell phones. D.Old newspapers.6.Why is e­waste banned from landfills in many states?A.Because it can not be recycled.B.Because the landfills are already full.C.Because it might damage the environment.D.Because it can be shipped to other countries.7.According to Mike Fannon,wha t might be the best way of dealing with e­waste? A.Recycling it. B.Selling it.C.Burying it. D.Breaking it.8.What can we learn from the passage?A.Chaz Miller works for EPA.B.Miller is optimistic about the future of e­waste.C.At present,less than 10 p ercent of e­waste is recycled.D.All states in the US have banned e­waste from landfills.Ⅱ.七选五(2015·全国Ⅰ)Building Trust in a Relationship AgainTrust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 9 Trust is a risk.But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.Unfortunately,we’ve all been victims of betrayal.Whether we’ve been stolen from,lied to,misled,or cheated on,there are different levels of losing trust.Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore. 10 It’s understandable,but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again,we have some steps you can take to get you there.• 11 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well­being.• 12 If you’ve been betrayed,you are the victim of your circumstance.But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality〞.At some point in all of our lives,we’ll have our trust tested or violated.•You didn’t lose “everything〞.Once trust is lost,what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle,look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 13 Instead,it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.

健康环保类阅读专项训练一、Human activity has shrunk the size of wild animals the world over, and yet recent research has found many mammals(哺乳动物) living near cities have become steadily larger, both in length and in weight. “That wasn’t what we expected to find at all,” says Robert Guralnick, who studies biodiversity informatics at the Florida Museum. Expanding urban environments grow much hotter than natural habitats, and warmer temperatures usually benefit mammals that have a smaller, more energy-saving figure--- a principle of biology known as Bergmann’s rule.As the world grows warmer, some scientists have worried that mammals living near cities are supposed to grow smaller, possibly reducing their fitness as a species and, no doubt, the fitness of being hunters, too. But even with climate change, that might not happen. As it turns out, there's another factor in determining a mammal's size that might compete with or even go beyond temperature, and that is food.In and around cities with large populations, where high-energy human foods are more widely available and hunters are fewer and farther. New research discovered that most of the mammal species appear to be growing in size, not shrinking. According to careful measurements of more than 100 species from North America, gathered from museum collections over the past 80 years, the main reason is not a city's temperature. Instead, the greatest increases in weight and body length appear to lie among those mammals that live near the most humans, regardless of how hot their surroundings are.As climate change grows worse, there is, of course, the possibility that that might change, but at least for now, it seems that wolves, deer, bats, and other mammals in North America could be affected more by city populations than city climates.If we want to preserve the mammals that exist today for the future, it’s important that we know how human civilization is shaping their size, behavior, and well-being. In a rapidly changing world, that knowledge could mean the difference between ongoing life and dying out.1.What finding does Robert Guralnick consider surprising?A.Urban environments are hotter than nature.B.The animals in natural habitats become smaller.C.Many mammals grow against Bergmann's rule.D.City temperatures cause animals to shrink in size2.Why do many mammals living near cities grow in size?A.They are well taken care of by zoo keepers.B.They have more foods and fewer threats.C.They are comfortable in warmer climates.D.They can easily hunt wild animals for food.3.What are we advised to do to protect the existing mammals?A.Provide healthy food to surrounding mammalsB.Limit the population in cities to a small number.C.Know how human civilization affects mammals.D.Help the mammals adjust to the changing climate.4.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Human Activity Has Shrunk the Size of AnimalsB.Global Warming Is Shaping the Future of MammalsC.Mammals in Nature Have a Better Chance to SurviveD.Many Mammals Living Near Cities Are Growing Bigger二、A unique curved(弯曲的)barrier has been designed by researchers at Imperial College London, who publish new findings in the journal Cities & Health on how the structure can protect people from the damaging effects of air pollution.The health concerns arising from lower air quality are more significant amongst lower-income communities which are more likely to be near roads with heavy traffic. Similarly, children are more readily exposed(接触)to air pollution simply because they live closer to the ground, where heavier pollutants settle over time.Dr Tilly Collins from Imperial's Centre for Environmental Policy found this issue particularly worrying, especially after noticing the severe pollution in the air while watching her child playing netball in a school playground alongside a busy London A-road. “l started researching the effect of walls along roads,”Dr Collins said. “It became evident that along the pedestrian(行人的)side of these roadside walls, there are vortexes(涡旋)where the air quality can actually be even worse as the pollutants get trapped in them.”Initially building off simple models, Dr Collins and Dr Huw Woodward, also from the Centre for Environmental Policy, explored ideas of urban design that would mitigate these vortex effects and improve air quality for pedestrians and especially children.Inspired by sound-walls alongside motorways in Germany and the Netherlands, there searchers found that curved structures would more effectively reflect pollutants back towards the roads and would very rapidly improve air quality for pedestrians in an inexpensive manner.When asked about the challenges faced during this project, Dr Collins said: “Initially, it was difficult to convince others to get on board. The focus is very much on successfully reducing smoke from cars, but there are things we can do now to protect our children.”“With increased attention being placed on the challenges associated with air pollution, there is a need for unique and effective urban design, and these curved barriers are able to handle these challenges head on, providing huge benefits to the general public," said Marcus Grant, editor in chief of Cities & Health .1.Why are children more likely to be victims of air pollution?A.They are shorter in height.B.They have bigger airways.C.They tend to breathe more slowly.D.They like playing near busy roads.2.What does the underlined word "mitigate" in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Monitor.B.Reduce.C.Predict.D.Explain.3.What do we know about the resea rchers’ design?A.It can reduce smoke from cars greatly.B.It can benefit urban traffic in some way.C.lt can limit pedestrians’ exposure to poor air.D.It can be used as sound-walls alongside motorways.4.What does Marcus Grant suggest about the project?A.It needs more attention from the public.B.It might come across many challenges.C.lt is very likely to have a bright future.D.It should be expanded in more industries.三、The public nowadays has a misunderstanding of forest fires, believing that fires should be kept out of every type of forest. Many of us can recall Smoky the Bear's famous warning: “Remember, only YOU can prevent forest fires”. However, that's not always the case. Under the right conditions, and when conducted safely, fire can create many environmental benefits as well as help prevent larger, uncontrollable wildfires.After a forest fire, many wildlife species will move into recently burned areas to feed on these newly available foods. Some reptiles and amphibians such as the pine (松树) snake prefer forests frequently burned by fire. As Herbert Stoddard put it, “One of the most harmful things modern man has done to birds has been his attempt to exclude fire from fire-type pine forests. Within a few years most forests choke up with bushes, lose their prairie-like vegetation (草原般植被) and can no longer support birds dependent on periodic burning for their food supply and proper cover.”If you are asked to picture the forest floor, what do you see? Pine needles, cones, leaves, branches might come to mind-all sources of fuel. If these fuel sources build up without any type of removal, the 'fuel load' can lead to fires catastrophic to forests and people alike. In contrast, prescribed fire can be used by forest professionals every couple of years to keep forest fuels at an appropriate and manageable level. They can also minimize the spread of pest insects and disease and remove unwanted tree and plant species. Plus, they can create and maintain important wildlife habitats rich in grasses and promote the growth of trees, wildflowers and other various plants.Many organizations and agencies work to promote fire on the landscape when and where appropriate. Smokey Bear even has an updated warning: “Only You can Prevent Wildfires,” as the Forest Service ha s over the last few decades developed policies and procedures to include prescribed fire as a management tool, as well as continuing their work to prevent and fight wildfires.1.Why did the author mention Smoky the Bear's warning?A.To introduce the topic of the passage.B.To clarify a misunderstood concept.C.To show the significance of fire prevention.D.To raise people's awareness of forest protection.2.What can benefit birds according to Herbert Stoddard?A.Forest bushes.B.Fuel sources.C.Pine forests.D.Periodic burning.3.What is the purpose of prescribed fire?A.To put out wildfires.B.To keep the forest balance.C.To remove tree and plant species.D.To keep the fuel rich in the forest.4.What might be the best title for the passage?A.One Match Can Start A Forest FireB.Where There Is Smoke There Is A FireC.Not All Forest Fires Are Created EqualD.Why Not Keep The Forest Fire Burning四、Electric vehicles are close to the “turning point" of rapid mass adoption thanks to the decreasing cost of batteries, experts say.Global sales of electric vehicles rose 43% in 2020, but even faster growth is expected when continuing falls in battery prices result in the price of electric cars under the same petrol and diesel (柴油)models, which may happen between 2023 and 2025. According to a study by Prof Tim Lonton, at the University of Exeter, the turning point has already been passed in Norway, where tax breaks(税收减免) mean electric cars arc cheaper and the market share of battery-powered cars increased to 54% in 2020 in Norway, compared with less than 5% in most European nations.The falls in battery prices in the last decade have been dramatic and faster than predicted thanks to a massive production and cuts in costs, such as reducing the amount of expensive cobalt (钻)required. BloombergNEF's analysis predicts lithium-ion(锂离子) battery costs will fall so sharply that electric cars can match the price of petrol and diesel cars by 2023. McKin-sey's Global Energy Perspective 2021, published on 15 January, forecasts that "electric vehicles are likely to become the most economic choice in the next five years worldwide".Electric cars, vital in efforts to fight climate crisis, are quieter and start to go faster, so people do not want to return to a petrol or diesel vehicle once they have one. A survey of 2,000 electric car owners found 91 % said they did not want to go back.“The survey shows the strong and lasting impact of switching to a clean car. The evidence in favour of electric vehicles grows more convincing even in a year as destructive as 2020," said Melanie Shufflebotham, at Zap-Map, which maps charging points.1.What leads to the growing sales of electric vehicles?A.The rise in petrol prices.B.The desire for a lower tax.C.The drop in battery costs.D.The need for a cleaner life.2.What can we infer from paragraph 2?A.Policies in Norway support electric vehicles.B.Economy in Norway outgrows other nations.C.The market share of electric vehicles will decline.D.The tax breaks in Europe will continue to increase.3.How will electric vehicles equal fuel vehicles in price?A.By increasing the demand for cobalt.B.By boosting the sales of electric cars.C.By reducing the production of batteries.D.By cutting the costs of lithium-ion batteries.4.What is the attitude of people surveyed towards electric cars?A.Tolerant.B.Positive.C.Unwilling.D.Opposed.五、Paper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. But it also presents a danger to the world in two significant ways. First, the making of paper requires the loss of millions of trees each year. Between 2001 and 2019, the world lost 386 million hectares of forest. Of the trees that were cut down, 42% went to paper production. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot sustain such a high rate of forest loss.The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A huge quantity of wastepaper ends up in dumps and landfills(垃圾填埋场) where it can produce harmful gases. Paper in landfills leads to the release(释放) of methane, a gas that is a significant contributor in global warming.One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Paper is mainly made from cellulose(纤维素), which makes up the cell walls of trees and many other plants. Because of its structure, cellulose can be used repeatedly in papermaking. So far, trees are the only source of cellulose that can fill the massive demand for paper products. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees.Thanks to advances in processing, recycled paper isn't the dull-colored stuff many of us are familiar with any more. It now can offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper.Effective recycling requires a consistent effort. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be carried out. The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industries to do the same.1.What does the author want to express in Paragraph 1?A.Consequences resulting from forest loss.B.The significance of paper in daily life.C.The disadvantages of current paper production.D.The severe situation caused by papermaking.2.Why is paper in landfills harmful?A.It releases smelly gases.B.It results in global climate change.C.It pollutes the nearby land.D.It may lead to fire accidents.3.What can we know about paper-recycling?A.It produces cellulose to make more paper.B.The structure of cellulose makes it possible.C.The color of recycled paper is different.D.It produces cellulose without using trees.4.What's the purpose of this text?A.To introduce paper recycling technology.B.To stress the threat of global warming.C.To appeal to people to recycle paper.D.To describe the considerable need for paper.六、When answering a question, your silence might say more than your words. A new psychology study has found pausing before replying, even for just a few seconds, can make you seem more insincere or dishonest. That perception(感知) of dishonesty might not be too inaccurate, either. Numerous studies in the lab and in real life suggest people are slower to respond when they are not being truthful, possibly because it takes more mental work to block a truthful response or fabricate(编造)an alternative.What's been less clear is how well our lies have been fooling people. Some studies suggest delayed answers come across as insincere to the listener. Others find no relationship between the two, and still more have found the opposite: That a bit of hesitation increases our perception of sincerity. These findings are inconsistent and confusing. They are also mostly based on correlations. Even the few studies that have actually looked at causal relationships often didn't consider confusing factors that could also give away a liar or an insincere speaker.The new research seeks to improve some of those limitations by examining thousands of people under a variety of conditions. Together, it involves more than 7,500 individuals from the United States, the United Kingdom, and France in a total of 14 experiments. On the whole, the authors found an immediate response was perceived as more sincere, while a delayed response, even a delay as brief as two seconds, was seen as more insincere."Evaluating other people's sincerity is an important part of social interactions," says consumer behaviour researcher Ignazio Ziano. "It would be unfair for the responder, such as a crime suspect, if the response delay was misattributed to thought suppression(抑制)or answer fabrication when it was in fact caused by a different factor, such as simply being distracted or thoughtful," explains Ziano.Unfortunately, even when participants were instructed to ignore the response delays in one of the experiments, it only reduced their perception of insincerity; it did not completely remove it.1. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. The perception of dishonesty depends on your silence.B. Preparing a truthful response needs more mental work.C. The impression of dishonesty isn't always accurate.D. Quicker replies to questions make you seem reliable.2. According to paragraph 3, how do researchers carry out their research?A. By studying the findings of several previous research projects.B. By examining thousands of people in various situations.C. By collecting data from the database from a new research.D. By analyzing the circumstances of the responses involved.3. Why does Ziano say it is unfair for the responder in paragraph 4?A. Listeners should ignore the pauses.B. A real criminal could escape quietly.C. The responder may be judged wrongly.D. The response delay affects people's preference.4. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Slower Response Makes You Seem InsincereB. New Evidence of Being Dishonest Is FoundC. Think Carefully Before You AnswerD. Action Speaks Louder Than Words七、There are patches of green taking root in European cities. It is part of a popular movement that started in Asia to clean the air, cool down temperatures, and improve the quality of life of city residents.This movement began in India with Indian eco-entrepreneur Shubhendu Sharma who was inspired by the tiny forests in Japan created by Akira Miyawak, a botanist who saw this as a solution to regenerate the land. In 2014, Sharma gave a Ted Talk about how valuable the mini ecosystems he was planting across India are. Sharma planted them anywhere he could, near schools, factories, and houses. These mini ecosystems grow ten times faster than conventional forests and are considerably more biodiverse.Now, Europeans are following his example and tiny forests are springing up across the continent. But first, Europeans had to adapt his methods to the different soil conditions, species and climate, while taking into account the effects of climate change. “Species growing here are more likely to do well and be able to adapt to climate change,” said Belgian biologist Nicolas, “So, I contacted scholars and tree nurseries to identify suitable native tree species and locally sourced materials to improve the soil.”The first tiny forest was planted in the UK in 2020 in a program run by ecologist Victor Beumer for Earth-watch. He said that the organization plans to collect data about biodiversity and carbon sequestration (碳封存) so that the environmental influence of the forests can be tracked in the long term. There are 17 of these forests now and 21 will be planted by 2022. These mini forests are seen as an asset that can help residents weather heat waves, improve water retention, remove carbon from the air, and the best benefit. While these European forests are still relatively young and the full impact of them on the environment is still unknown, one thing is a given. Bringing more nature into cities will have a positive impact on the life of urban residents. Being in nature is good for your health, and wellbeing.1.What can we learn about Sharma from the text?A.He likes giving a talk about tiny forests.B.He started the tiny forest movement in Europe.C.He has planted tiny forests everywhere he liked.D.He is a leading figure of the movement of tiny forests.2.What is implied in Nicolas’s word s in Paragraph 3?A.He used native species to grow small forests.B.It’s difficult to carry on the movement in Belgium.C.He chose some natural fertilizers to improve the soil.D.He has improved Sharma’s methods of growing forests.3.What can we infer about these European forests from the text?A.They have been taken seriously by the governments.B.They have benefited local residents physically and mentally.C.Their influence on the environment arouses the public’s curiosity.D.The further studies on their connection with nature are to be carried out.4.Which of the following is a suitable title for this text?A.Europeans Have Struggled to Improve Air QualityB.Tiny Forests Become More Diverse in EuropeC.Tiny Forests Are Dotting European CountriesD.Europeans Decide to Change Their Environment八、More than a million tons a year of America's plastic rubbish are not ending up where they should. As many as 1,300 plastic grocery bags per person is landing in places such as oceans and roadways, according to a new study of U.S.In 2016, the United States generated 46.3 million tons of plastic waste, by far the most in the world. Between 2.7% and 5.3% of that was mismanaged, according to a study in Friday's journal Science Advances. "If you took nearly 2.5 million tons of mismanaged plastic waste and dumped it on the White House lawn, it would pile as high as the Empire State Building," said Jenna Jambeck, an environmental engineering professor.Previous studies hadn't put the United States among the 10 worst offending nations for plastic waste in oceans. That's because the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency only tracks what goes into official parts of the waste stream such as landfills(废物填埋场)and recycling centers."The new study provides a more realistic view of our mismanaged waste," said University of Toronto ecology professor Chelsea Rochman, who wasn't part of the study. "We consume a lot of plastic which then becomes plastic waste. We recycle very little of this material, which is a waste of resources.""A large but hard to quantify part of the problem involves the 51% of U.S. plastic waste shipped abroad for recycling to countries that routinely mismanage waste," Law said. The situation has been converting since many countries have become more limiting about taking U.S. rubbish imports. American exports of plastic waste have declined dramatically since their peak in 2016.The government is spending billions of dollars trying to fix the problem, with modernized recycling technology and new business models to reduce waste while urging compulsory recycled content standards for new products and packaging."The best thing you can do environmentally is to produce no waste at all." Jambeck said.1.What can we know about the plastic waste in America?A.It is improperly dealt with.B.It is increasing every year.C.It is as high as a tall building.D.It is finding its way into landfills.2.What did former studies fail to focus on?A.How plastic waste is managed officially.B.Where all plastic waste finally ends up.C.When plastic waste reaches its peak.D.Why all plastic waste isn't recycled.3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "converting" in paragraph5?A.continuingB.affectingC.changingD.existing4.What problem might America face concerning plastic waste?A.The lack of capital for waste management.B.The lack of modern technology.C.The seriousness of waste.D.The limit of waste exports.九、"Human activity has wiped out two-thirds of the world's wildlife since 1970," CNN reported on September 10, 2020. Later that month, The Guardian reported that "40 percent of the world's plant species are at risk of extinction". Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich and his colleague announced that "the ongoing sixth mass extinction may be the most serious environmental threat to the persistence of civilization." Around the same time, The Daily Mail warned that human civilization stands a 90 percent chance of collapse within decades due to deforestation.These frightening calculations and projections come from authoritative reports issued by international agencies, conservation groups, and peer-reviewed scientific journals. But is the future of wild nature and human civilization really so bleak(暗淡的)?Data from uncontroversial mainstreams sources strongly indicate that both humanity and the natural world are likely to be flourishing rather than collapsing at the end of this century.Humanity is becoming an urban species, and that's good for the environment, since city residents generally use less electricity, emit less globe-warming carbon dioxide, and have smaller land footprints than people living in the countryside. By 2100, demographers project that 85 percent of people will be citizens, which would leave only 1.2 billion still living in the countryside. That means more space for the wildlife and less pollution from the agriculture.The global tree coverage increased by 865, 00 square miles between 1982 and 2016. The researchers found that gains in forest area in the temperate, subtropical, and boreal climatic zones are offsetting(抵消)declines in the tropics. The Maryland researchers attribute much of that increase to "natural afforestation on abandoned agricultural land." Furthermore, forests in mountainous regions are expanding as climate warming enables trees to grow at higher altitudes. Humanity does face big environmental challenges in the coming century. But a number of scientific and economic evidences show that most of the trends are positive or can be turned in a positive direction by human ingenuity. Rather than an age of extinction, the 21st century promises to be an era of environmental renewal.1.Why does the author mention the reports in Paragraph 1?A.To support his opinion.B.To give examples.C.To introduce the topic.D.To make a contrast.2.What will happen by 2100 according to Paragraph 4?A.No one will choose to live in the countryside.B.There will be more pollution from the agriculture.C.City residents will use more electricity.D.More space will be available for the wildlife.3.What can we know about the forest according to the author?A.The forest area is decreasing year by year.B.The global tree coverage increased so much in 2016.C.There are more forests in mountainous regions due to the climate warming.D.The forest area in the temperate zones and tropics is increasing.4.What might be the best title of the passage?A.The Hopeless Future of Humanity.B.21st Century: An Era of Environmental Renewal.C.The Challenges in the Corning Century.D.Better Environment, Better Future of Human.十、Money is the root of all evil and a new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, US. announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do unethical(不道德的) things, such as lie or cheat, than poor people.The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences(PNAS,《美国国家科学院院刊》).They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving more modest(不豪华的) cars.In another experiment, a group of college students were asked if they would do unethical things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly.According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people's feelings.Finally, it simply makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.。

专项2021新高考八省市联考及创新好题新素材、新情境——促素养、提能力一、阅读理解A素材素养人与自然·碳足迹文化意识·培养环保意识,实现环保的生活方式[2021新高考八省市联考]In my everyday life,I am on an ongoing journey to figureout different ways to reduce my carbon footprint on the planet.A carbon footprintis the measure of influence our activities have on the environment,in particularclimate change.It is calculated by the amount of greenhouse gas we produce in ourdaily lives.Fortunately,nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices than,let’s say,20years ago.But one question has been on my mind a lot lately:is it better to buy new eco-friendly products or used traditionally produced goods?After doing some research,I have decided that some things are better new and othersare better used.Let me try to explain.A carbon footprint is made up of two parts,the primary footprint and the secondaryfootprint.The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions(排放)of carbondioxide(CO 2)from the burning of fuels,including household energy consumption andtransportation.The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO 2emissionsfrom the whole lifecycle of products weuse —those related to their production and breakdown.Based on this understanding,we have a good deal of control and responsibility over our carbon footprint.Things like dishes,clothes and furniture fall into the "secondary footprint"group,so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production.However,for the car and the other appliances(设备)that we need we can go with new,energy-saving models.I heard somewhere that electronics and appliances give off 90%of their carbon footprint after they leave the factory.h tt ps ://w ww .51q ua n.c l u b /So it seems most reasonable to go for the energy-saving models.The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you.1.What is the text mainly about?A.What appliances to buy to save energy.B.What a carbon footprint means in our life.C.How to identify different carbon footprints.D.How to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices.2.What do we know about the secondary carbon footprint?A.It is related to our consumption of fuels.B.It is made when we are buying the products.C.It is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint.D.It is counted as ours though not directly made by us.3.Which of the following helps reduce our carbon footprint according to the author?ing second-hand ing old and expensive cars.C.Buying new but cheap clothes.D.Buying new wooden furniture.4."The footprint"underlined in the last sentence refers to the CO 2produced in.ing the productB.recycling the productC.making the productD.transporting the productB素材素养人与自然·森林浴文化意识·树立健康意识[2021山东济南统考]Shinrin-yoku means "forest bathing".Forest bathing doesn’tmean you take a bath in the forest;rather,you simply go for a walk in the woods or a city park,where you slacken by using all your senses to experience nature.Yoshifumi Miyazaki,from Chiba University,is among a growing number of scientists who have begun studying the science behind the effects of nature on human health.h tt ps ://w ww .51q ua n.c l u b /In his book Shinrin-yoku:The Japanese Art of Forest Bathing ,Miyazaki explains the techniques of forest bathing.Miyazaki has an interesting theory about why shinrin-yoku is so effective.He points out that for more than 99.99%of the time,humans have lived in a natural environment.In fact,in 1800,only 3%of the world’s population lived in cities,and by 2016,this figure had reached 54%.This is only going to get worse;officials predict that by 2050,66%will have lived in cities.This suggests we live in our modern society with bodies that are still used to the natural environment,because "genes cannot change over just a few hundred years".The science behind the research studies he presents in the book makes a convincingcase that forest bathing is an effective method for reducing stress in today’s world.Now city planners are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of nature andare creating new kinds of "parks"out of empty spaces.There’re also more city gardenswhere people can grow vegetables.For kids,kitchen gardens in schools are becoming popular.As Miyazaki stresses,you don’t have to find a formal park or garden topractice shinrin-yoku.Instead,you can enjoy the effects of nature wherever there’replants.Better yet,he says,we can bring nature closer to where we spend most of our time.Miyazaki’s research has shown that just increasing the amount of plants in a room can affect the relaxation benefits of the room.What’s more,even when people simplylook at flowers,their bodies relax and stress levels decrease.1.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1mean?A.Behave.B.Entertain.C.Predict.D.Relax.2.How does the author mainly develop the third paragraph?A.By giving examples.B.By listing figures.C.By making remarks.D.By making comparisons.3.Why does forest bathing work effectively according to Miyazaki?h tt ps ://w ww .51q ua n.c l u b /A.Human genes can change easily.B.Nature is part of the modern society.C.Human bodies are accustomed to nature.D.People can always get excited in nature.4.Which of the following will Miyazaki agree with on forest bathing?A.It is easy to operate.B.It is meant for gardeners.C.It is unaffordable in the city.D.It is inconvenient to practice.C素材素养人与社会·火星科学城思维品质·培养科研创新意识In 2017,the United Arab Emirates announced its ambition to colonize Mars within the next 100years.But architects are already imagining what a Martian city might look like and planning to create it in the desert outside Dubai.Mars Science City was originally scheduled to cover 176,000square meters of desert—the size of more than 30football fields —and cost approximately 135million dollars.To create a space for Dubai’s Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC)to develop the technology needed to colonize Mars,architects in Bjarke Ingels Group were asked to design a prototype of a city suitable for sustaining life on Mars,andthen adapt it for use in the Emirati desert.For this unique commission,the architects first had to overcome the immensechallenges of creating a design to make the severe environment of Mars habitable.Mars has a thin atmosphere and no global magnetic field,so there’s little protection from harmful radiation.Temperature is another problem —the average temperature on Mars is chilly —-63degrees centigrade.The thin atmosphere also means there’s little air pressure,so liquids quickly evaporate into gas;despite freezing temperatures,an unprotected human’s blood would boil on Mars.But according to Jonathan Eastwood,director of the Space Lab at Imperial College London,the biggest challenge in terms of sustained presence on Mars is not the engineering or scientifich tt ps ://w ww .51q ua n.c l u b /challenge,but the human and personal one.More research needs to be done to test the effects of isolation on mental and physical health of astronauts.The MBRSC hopes that,in future,such research could take place in Mars Science City."This is going to be our platform where we can develop the science and the technology that will help us in our future missions to Mars,"said Adnan AIRais,Mars 2117Programme Manager at MBRSC."We want to come up with a totally new facility that will help the international community."1.What information can you get about the Martian city?A.It is planned to be completed in the next 100years.B.It occupies more than 30football fields of Dubai.C.It has been put into use in the desert outside Dubai.D.It serves as a prototype for sustaining life on Mars.2.Which is not the challenge for living on Mars?A.A thin atmosphere exposes people to harmful radiation.B.High temperature makes unprotected human’s blood boil.C.Little air pressure causes liquids to turn into gas quickly.D.A long period of isolation may affect physical health.3.What’s the attitude of Adnan AIRais towards building Mars Science City?A.Positive. B.Objective.C.Critical.D.Skeptical.4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The research on the effects of living on Mars.B.The United Arab Emirates’ambition to colonize Mars.C.A Martian city to be designed in the desert outside Dubai.D.The challenges of surviving the inhabitable environment of Mars.二、七选五素材素养人与自我·使用软件学习外语学习能力·拓宽英语学习渠道,养成良好的学习习惯h tt ps ://w ww .51q ua n.c l u b

2020届高考英语一轮阅读理解热门话题针对训练-人生感悟类

2020届高考英语一轮阅读理解热门话题针对训练-人生感悟类

人生感悟类1、Every January for the past 20 years, I have taken a few moments to ponder(思考) the answer to the big question, “What is the meaning of life?”It’s one of those enormous questions that areso important—philosophically(哲理地) and practically in terms of how we live our lives—and yet we never stop to really think about the answer. If you might be able to get your response in less than a minute, the wisdom-to-effort rate for this exercise could not be more advantageous. I tend to ponder such things as the creator of the Wisdom Project, a collection of writings about the wisdom in everyday life experiences.The reason I ask this question year after year is that my answer changes over time, which I find interesting and meaningful. There is no only correct answer, I believe—only answers that are right for you at any given time.My favorite answer, though, is the Zen-like circular reasoning attributed to writer Robert Byrne, who put it, "The purpose of life is a life of purpose." Some people have concluded that lifers meaning is subjective. "There is not one big universal meaning for all,” author Anais Nin wrote in her diary. "There is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person."Taking a few moments to record your response to the question "What is the meaning of life?" is the kind of simple exercise that effectively adds meaning to your life. And then I suggest answering it every year. Looking back at how your thinking has evolved and been influenced by experience tells you something more about yourself. Cumulatively (累积地), it gets you closer to a deeper self-understanding.Whatever small step you take toward finding the meaning of life is a step toward a more meaningful and longer life.1.Why does the author ask the question every year?A.To get the response in less than a minute.B.To get the correct answer to the meaning of life.C.To find different answers interesting and meaningful.D.To leam the wisdom in everyday life experiences by himself.2.What have the examples of Robert Byrne and Anais Nin proved?A.Our life should be a life of purpose.B.The answer of the two persons is the best one.C.Everyone has his or her own answer at any given time.D.Life’s meaning is philosophically and practically important.3.What does the author suggest people do about adding meaning to your life?A.Try asking others about what their opinions are.B.Understand yourself more by answering it every year.C.looking back at your life influences your meaning of life.D.Write down their responses to the question and do more exercise.4.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Everyone should ask the meaning of life.B.Life is meaningful when you find an answer.C.Life changes when we begin to find its meaning.D.Live a more meaningful and longer life.2、I remember a day when I was a little kid. I was making a sandwich in the kitchen when I noticed the date on one of the wine (白酒) bottles.“Dad, dad!” I cried. “This wine is too old to drink.”“Son, hold on,” he said.“No, you can't drink this tonight! This bottle of wine was made 10 years ago.”“Wait, let me tell you…”“Would you like me to throw it away from you?” I asked.“Son, wait a second,” he said. “Son, some wi nes get better over time. The longer you wait to drink it, the better it will be. Although this may seem strange, it is true.”When I was young, I didn't have any understanding of what this meant, but now, this would have been very helpful to remember as I went through my teenage years.In our society, we forget this simple rule: the longer you want for certain things, the better they will be. But we want the best job as quickly as possible; we want to graduate from college in as few years as possible; we even speed through our homework just to chat with friends. When we do this, we lose something of great importance.We all want to get to the next step so quickly that perhaps we don't get ready enough to get there. This has a negative effect on our society. When trying to go to the right college, we will do anything to get in and when we rush through our classwork, we may not study enough for the test, and end up failing. We need to be ready for whatever comes, ready for the unexpected. Wine gets better over time, so do the things in our paths of life.1. Why did the author tell his father not to drink the bottle of wine?A. Because it smelt terrible.B. Because it was mixed with something else.C. Because his father drank too much that night.D. Because it had been kept for years.2. What the author's father said_________.A. made the author puzzled when he was a little childB. was too simple a rule to be meaningful to the authorC. threw the author into deep thought thenD. was an excuse to drink the wine3. In the author's opinion, if we do things too quickly, we will________.A. do it betterB. save much timeC. graduate from college more quicklyD. miss something important to us in life4. Which of the following best reflects the main idea of the passage?A. Well begun is half done.B. More haste(匆忙), less speed.C. Failure is the mother of success.D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heat.3、Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings.Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem (自尊). Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their life. They are leaves tossed (摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever happens in your life. Losers think that everything happens by accident while successful people realize that they are responsible.Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe. Thoughts and beliefs cause everything. Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success depends upon our level of confidence. We are responsible for either reinforcing (强化) good habits or kicking bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing (培育) the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.1. People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ________.A. are ready to change their mindsB. are easily affected by windy weatherC. don’t have the power to face their fateD. can’t exercise control overthemselves2. Losers would think that ________.A. success is the result of hard workB. working hard will lead to successC. their failure is only because of bad luckD. they don’t make efforts to succeed3. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that ________.A. whether we will succeed depends on our attitudesB. developing confidence is the key to future successC. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mindD. setting our expectations is essential before taking action4. The last paragraph serves as ________.A. the proof of the author’s pointsB. th e conclusion of the argumentC. an introduction to another topicD. a comparison between two views5. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Success Is a ChoiceB. The Secrets of SuccessC. Develop Our ConfidenceD. How to Achieve Success4、Ask any of my stepchildren and they'll agree: The quickest way to produce a long and angry shout is to complain, “It’s not fair!” I can go on and on about how fairness has nothing to do with who gets the slightly larger cookie, and how important it is tobe gratitude for all of the incredible privileges we have. And yet, I displayed right by those inspiring quotes about thankfulness posted by family and friends on Facebook. I've laughed at the concept of keeping a gratitude journal, a daily diary of things in my life to be thankful for, as seen on Oprah and in many studies about happiness. (Despite all the evidence to recommend it, keeping one just doesn’t feel like me.)But according to a recent study, people who practise gratitude are more joyful and optimistic and less lonely. I would love to experience all of those things, so why do I get all sick inside when I hear about practising gratitude? The biggest reason is that it sometimes feels slightly dishonest.Earlier this year, though, I decided it was time to give gratitude a real chance; I wanted to see firsthand if it would change my outlook. Then, a stream of terrible things happened—it felt like every night on the news there was another tragedy, and it felt like the whole world was going to ruin. Putting aside a few minutes a day to think about all the awesome tilings in my life felt both unimportant and disrespectful. But I sat down and tried it. While I wouldn't go as far as a journal, I did try to spend a few minutes each day feeling thankful.And something clicked. Allowing myself small moments of gratitude didn’t feel as tired as I thought it would; it felt uplifting, even restorative. I realized that gratitude as a goal still makes me change. Appreciating what we have can help us understand what other people are, both far away and closer to home.1.Why does the author mention the story of his stepchildren?A.To introduce the topic of the text.B.To express they are specially naughty.C.To show how fair he is to them.D.To present the benefits of practicing gratitude.2.What was the author's attitude to practising gratitude in daily life in the beginning?A.Supportive.B.Disapproving.C.Ambiguous.D.Relaxed.3.How did the author feel when actually practising gratitude earlier this year?A.Spiritless.B.Respectful.C.Amused.D.Proud.4.What does the author mean by saying "And something clicked", in the last paragraph?A.The changes happened to him.B.The living conditions got worse.C.Small moments were valuable.D.The help was timely and important.5、I am often homesick. I have learned something about myself from it. I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida’s milder winters, I willingly bear the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.I’m like a migratory bird (候鸟) that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display of colors-first in the fall trees, and then in the lights around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate, too, but can’t create the special feel of a New England winter.I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven’t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors’ children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch. (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement community in Ridge, and I’m grateful that I don’t have to shovel.)While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you can’t go home?1.What’s the difference between Flo rida and Long Island?A.Winters in Florida are milder.B.The snowbirds in Florida are rarer.C.Weather in Florida is severer.D.Florida is nearer to the ocean.2.What does the underlined word “reluctance” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Coincidence.B.Expectation.C.Unwillingness.D.Motivation.3.Which of the following words can best describe the author?A.Homesick and easy-going.B.Hard-working and serious.C.Imaginative and outspoken,D.Anxious and painful.4. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To describe his dream to be a free bird.B.To express his feeling of missing his hometown.C.To praise the beauty and warmth of his family life.D.To explain the reasons for moving from his hometown.6、I was visiting Costa Rica when I found myself in a bad situation: my credit cards and hank cards weren’t working abroad,and I only had $ 5. I didn’t know anybody in the country. And the only possession I had was a return ticket to Guatemala in two weeks. Back then, there were no such things as mobile phones,and some Internet cafes charged much for a very slow connection.I thought to myself that if I went to a countryside, maybe I would find kind people. With my remaining coins, I headed to the bus terminal and arrived at Santa Rosa. It was midnight. There were no streetlights as it was very rural. I went knocking door to door,explaining with my very poor Spanish that I was Japanese, and I was in Costa Rica with no money but I needed to stay here for two more weeks before I could go back. Everybody replied saying,“Oh my gosh,but we are so poor. We have no space and no extra food.”Finally,I arrived at a Chinese restaurant. The owner of the restaurant was incredibly kind. She heard my story and really empathized. She said that her sonwent to Europe many years ago and had a similar experience. At that time,some other people were very kind to him,and she remembered how warm that made her feel. She invited me in,gave me food, and called the Red Cross to rescue me. I spent my remaining days in Costa Rica with the head of Red Cross.I’ve travelled all over the world and been to over 50 countries. But this was one of the best trips,the best two weeks, I had ever had in my travelling life.I realized that when you re in a position to be able to receive,it actually makes people feel happier. Being able to receive kindness is a gift for other people as well.1.What difficulty did the writer have while visiting Costa Rica?A.She had no money to buy a return ticket.B.She lost her mobile phone.C.She didn’t know anybody in the country.D.She almost had no money on her.2.Why was the writer's request refused by some people in Santa Rosa?A.Because they were careful and afraid of strangers.B.Because they were too poor to offer the writer what she needed.C.Because they couldn’t understand what the writer said to them.D.Because they couldn’t stand the long stay of the writer.3.What made the owner of the Chinese restaurant accept the writer?A.The owner's kindness and sympathy.B.The writer’s moving story.C.The owner's son's experience.D. The close relationship between the writer and the owner's son.4.What does the writer aim to convey to the readers with her experience?A.She had a great time in Costa Rica.B.Helping others makes people feel happy.C.Receiving kindness makes people feel happy.D.Money is a good servant but a bad master.答案1、1.C; 2.C; 3.B; 4.C解析:1.细节理解题。

②A bat scientist, Eklof works in the night shadows in western Sweden. His work requires an absolute kind of darkness unpolluted by light. But this category of darkness is threatened. In the 1980s, Eklof tells readers, two-thirds of the churches in Sweden housed bat caves. Not any longer. “Today, this number has been reduced by a third due to light pollution, because the churches all glow brightly in the night.” he writes. ③We have all noticed it when driving through any city at night. Empty places are floodlit. The night sky in Hong Kong is 1200 times brighter than an unlit one. Citizens of some large cities, writes Eklof, have never allowed their eyes to adapt to true night vision. But we are only now beginning to understand the effects. ④Too much light is incredibly destructive to the complex eco-systems many animals inhabit. It scares away the bats that Eklof studies; reef fish eggs go unhatched; birds forget to even sing. ⑤So how can we deal with the too much light? In 2019, France passed laws limiting how much light can be sent into the sky. In Vienna, Austria, the city’s lights are turned off at 11 p.m. Some measures, like artificial lights that do not reflect light upward, are already within our grasp. “We could just turn it all off, but I guess we don’t want to, because darkness is not safe for everyone.” said Eklof in a recent interview. “So it’s vital we find a middle way.” ⑤Right now, it’s hard to know what that middle way might look like. In 50 years, every city could be lit by

英国近千万牛肉汉堡因掺马肉被召回Ten million beefburgers are being recalled in a Bri tish scandal over horse meat contamination, it emerged yesterday.昨日有报道称,英国近日曝出的牛肉汉堡掺马肉丑闻事件,导致上千万牛肉汉堡被召回。

As revulsion(剧变,厌恶) over the issue gre w, more supermarkets and fast food ch ain Burger King were drawn into the row.Sa insbury's, Asda and the Co-op have decided to remove thousands of packs of frozen burgers as a precautionary measure(预防措施).Th e firms acted because the products were made by an Irish food giant which is known to have been supplying burgers contaminated with horse meat.Separately, Burger King confirmed it gets burgers from the same company. However, it said there has been an 'absolute assurance' that these are not contaminated.Food watchdogs in the UK and Ireland are racing to establish whether products made for other retailers, take-aways and restaurants are contaminated.Last night the Government and the Food Standard s Agency announced a UK wide survey into the authenticity of burgers and other processed meat products.The revelations h ave been met with anger and disgust, while the companies involved face prosecutions for misleading shoppers.Speaking at Prime Minister's Question Time, David Cameron, said: 'People in our country will have bee n very concerned to read this morning that when they thought they were buying beefburgers they were buying so mething with horse meat in it. This is a completely unacceptable state of affairs.'He war ned the stores involved, saying: 'Ultimately retailers hav e to be responsible f or what it is they sell and where it comes from.'The alert was first raised by Irish food w atchdogs earlier this week after horse DNA was found in burgers sold thro ugh Tesco, Iceland, Aldi, Lidl a nd Dunnes in Ireland.It subsequently emerged that burgers from the same batches were sold in the British outlets of both Tesco and Iceland. The beef content in one Everyday Value burger sold by Tesco was actually 29 percent horse meat.The te sts were carried out in November but the results were not released until they had been checked by experts in Germany. It is likely that many thousands of the burgers contaminated with horse meat have been eaten by families.。

Every year, our swim team runs the Snack Bar at the pool ground to raise funds for covering the costs of swim competitions and equipment. However, during our first summer meeting last month, Coach Abby informed us that the Snack Bar would be closed for repairs until August.Upon hearing the news, all the team members were worried that without a Snack Bar, we wouldn't have funds, which meant, our swim team might have to be dismissed.Supposing the worst, everyone was out of spirit. “Take it easy! I’ll figure it out. For now, boys, jump into the pool and get swimming!” said Coach Abby, gently comforting us. But none of us were swimming our best, and even though Coach Abby was smiling as usual, it was evident that she was concerned about the situation. During the break, I proposed exploring alteative approaches for holding a fundraising event. My teammates erupted into a lively conversation. DJ. suggested a karaoke sing-along. while Tamara offered to bring starfish cookies for sale. Manny brought up the idea of games and prizes, while I thought we could run a drink stand.After a heated discussion, it was decided that each of us would take turns to host the event throughout the week. Coach Abby heartily approved of our plan. My drink stand was scheduled for the last day of the event.I was so thrilled about the upcoming event that I began my preparations a day ahead. When I was making the drinks, I noticed a very dark cloud outside the kitchen window. “Uh-oh! T hat’s not a rain cloud, is it ” I asked my mom, feeling a bit anxious. “Rain would be a disaster! It could ruin everything.“You know what they say,” she answered. “Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.” Then came the big day. Coach Abby helped me set up the drink stand and the teammates called out loudly to get everyone together at the pool ground. I hid a big box under the table and nobody knew what was inside. Everything was going smoothly as we wished.注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右:2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

2019届高考英语一轮复习话题阅读素材69 How "Average" People Excel
Why do ordinary individuals often seem to achieve more than those talented fast-trackers,who tend to plateau after initial eye-catching achievements. To find out,I interviewed over 190 men and women in my work as a corporate consultant. I determined tat "average" people who excel:
Learn self-discipline. You don't need talent to succeed. All you need is a big pot of glue. You smear some on your chair and some on the seats of your pants,you sit down,and stick with every project until you've done the best you can do. Average achievers stay glued to their chairs and postpone pleasure so they can reap future dividends. Many fast-trackers,on the other hand,expect too much too soon. When rewards don't materialize instantly,they may become frustrated and unhappy. According to Dr. Vailant,a psychiatrist,average achievers have a crucial mental habit -- the capacity to postpone -- but not give up -- gratification.
Bring out the best in people. Many fast-trackers couldn't tolerate getting help from others or sharing success,often because of an overpowering ego. Collaboration is the key,and one of the best collaborators I've met is Marilyn,who supervises 10 people for the Los Angeles County Bar Association. "Many of them are more intelligent
than I am," she says,"I'm there to manage their conflicts and motivate them to do well."
Build a knowledge base. Average achievers are not looking at the top job,as many fast-trackers tend to do -- but at the job one step above. So they often broaden their knowledge base in a way many fast-trackers don't.
Develop special skills. There are at least 7 basic intellectual skills: mathematical,logical,linguistic,musical,spatial,bodily kinesthetic and two types of personal intelligence -- how we understand others,and how we deal with our own dreams,fears and frustrations. So while you may not be good at math,you may have an aptitude for design;or you may have an ability for persuading people.
Bounce back from defeat. Sylvia did okay in school,but nothing outstanding. At 42,she joined Revlon as a senior director of marketing. But after only months,she was let go as part of a cutback. A month later,a publishing friend asked for advice on selling advertising to the beauty industry. Two years later,working out of her apartment,Sylvia is now supplying that advice to major clients at roughly the same income she earned at Revlon. She likes being her own boss. "Getting laid off forces you to be creative," she says. "It lights a fire under you."
Ultimately,there is nothing more powerful than a person with an average mind who holds his/her head high and goes about life with zest
and surety. President Abraham Lincoln could have been destroyed by his seeing ordinariness. He came from a poor background and had ungainly appearance. Instead,he went on to greatness -- while giving new meaning and dignity to what the world considered "average".。
