高中英语外刊时文新闻阅读理解四篇Passage 1 美国因黑人死亡引发的抗议示威It's been a week since 46-year-old balck George Floyd died after pleading he couldn't breathe as a Minneapolis officer kneeled on his neck. The four officers involved were fired and Derek Chauvin, who pressed his knee on the man's neck, was charged(控告) with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. In the days since Floyd's death, thousands poured onto the country's streets to protest the killing and those who died before Floyd as a result of police brutality.The demonstrations(示威游行) began in Minneapolis and spread like wildfire across the US -- Los Angeles, Atlanta, Washington, DC, Miami, New York City and Chicago all saw crowds demonstrating. Many protests were peaceful, with people holding "Black Lives Matter" and "I can't breathe" signs, shouting loudly and armed with face masks for protection against coronavirus(新冠病毒). But some groups turned violent over the weekend, setting fires to buildings and police cars, breaking through windows of businesses, looting(抢劫) and fighting with police forces. Police responded forcefully, shooting tear gas and rubber bullets at the crowds and arresting hundreds throughout the countries. In New York City, a police vehicle was seen driving through a crowd of protesters. In Atlanta, two officers were fired after their violent arrest of two college students was caught on video. It's still unclear what the coming days will look like.To help control the violence, at least 40 cities lawfully established curfews(宵禁) and more than a dozen governors organized National Guard army. In the nation's capital, a similar scene. Just before 8 p.m. Sunday night, armed officers and protesters remained in a standoff in downtown Washington as crowds threw water bottles at police and police responded with flash bangs and pepper spray. In New York, a group of protesters remained in Manhattan as night fell, facing off with police after several fires were set and some stores were looted. Officials in several cities have warned that those who are looting stores and creating scenes of chaos1 What does the underlined word “brutality” mean in paragraph 1 ?A thoughtful assistanceB long working hoursC violent treatment or behaviorD breaking local laws2 What can we learn from paragraph 2 ?A There were wildfires in many cities across the US.B Police used forceful measures trying to control the situation.C All protestors in the US were peacefully holding signs.D The protests will end in a few days.3 What is true about protesters in the US ?A They will be killed during curfews.B They fought against police in Washington.C They stopped protesting after night fall in New York.D They looted stores to protest Floyd's death.4 Which can be the best title of this passage ?A Protestors are under controlB George Floyd’s deathC Police commit violent behaviorD Protests spread like wildfirePassage 2 印度男子步行千里归家Rajesh Chouhan had walked 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) in five days. The 26-year-old migrant worker(外来务工者) was in the heart of India and only halfway home. When India announced its nationwide lockdown on March 24 to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus(新冠病毒). Overnight, many like Chouhan were stranded without jobs, food or savings. They had to figure out ways to leave the cities. With no way to survive in the cities, and India's vast railway network mostly shut down, many made the extraordinary decision to walk thousands of miles back to their families.Normally Chouhan pays 300 rupees ($4) for the 48-hour trip home in the lowest train carriage, but during the pandemic(大流行病) that price rose to 1,200 rupees ($15.90). State police were assigned to sell tickets and keep order at police stations packed with travelers desperate to get home. Police in Bengalore said they used sticks to clear the crowds when sales for the day ended. "We were beaten many times. Just because we are poor, doesn't mean we can't feel pain," says Chouhan. After spending five days outside a police station trying to get a ticket, Chouhan and his fellow villagers decided to walk. They didn't dare tell their families. Many didn't make it. In one incident, 16 laborers were run over by a freight train as they slept on rail tracks. Roadside accidents took the lives of others. Some died from exhaustion, dehydration(脱水) or hunger. Those picked up by police were often sent back to the cities they had tried to leave. Chouhan knew the risks. But on May 12, he decided to challenge India's strict lockdown laws and begin the 1,250-mile (2,000-kilometer) walk to his village in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.He'd hoped to hitchhike much of the way, but with police checking trucks for stowaways(偷渡者), drivers were demanding fees beyond Chouhan's budget. For 10 days, he'd have to avoid police check points, survive on tea and biscuits, and walk on aching feet. "I don't think I can forget this journey through my life," he says. "It'll always carry memories of sadness and anxiety."1 What does the underlined words “were stranded” probably mean in paragraph 1 ?A be hiredB be hurtC unable to leaveD unable to live2 Why did Chouhan and other villagers decide to walk home ?A Because the price of tickets were too high.B Because they tried to get train tickets in vain.C Because they were beaten by police.D Because the a five-day sale of tickets ended.3 What can we guess about the risks of Chouhan’s journey home ?A He may have lost his money during his walking.B He would have died if he had taken a train.C Police will sent him home if he wishes.D Perhaps he can’t get enough food and drink.4 What can we know about Chouhan ?A He was caught by police amid his journey.B He helped his fellow villagers to get home.C He was impressed by the journey.D He won’t go to cities for jobs.Passage 3 受疫情影响的泰国旅游业With news that many countries in Europe are reopening to tourism in time for summer, travelers with their sights set on Asia are anxiously awaiting word on when they'll be given the green light to visit their favorite destination. As of now, those with Thailand in mind will need to wait at least a few more months before packing their bags. "It is still dependent on the outbreak situation, but I think at the earliest, we may see the return of tourists could be the fourth quarter of this year," Yuthasak Supasorn, governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), said.And even then, he says, there will likely be restrictions on who can visit and where they can go. "We are not going to open all at once," he adds. "We are still on high alert, we just can't let our guards down yet. We have to look at the country of origin (of the travelers) to see if their situation has truly improved. And lastly, we have to see whether our own business operators are ready to receive tourists under the 'new normal'." Basically, a country will open borders with destinations that also have their coronavirus(新冠病毒) situation under control. Once Thailand does open to international tourists, they'll likely only be able to visit certain spots, says Yuthasak. "We have studied a possibility of offering special long-stay packages in isolated and closed areas where health monitoring can be easily controlled -- for example, Koh Pha Ngan and Koh Samui. This will be beneficial for both tourists and local residents, since this is almost a kind of quarantine(隔离)." Yuthasak says they're finishing up a framework to restart tourism, but baby steps are needed to relight international tourism. "The next step is bilateral agreements between countries," he says. "Thailand's good standing in the face of the crisis with China, along with strong demand, make it a logical short-term solution for overseas tourism to return to the Kingdom." For now, Thailand isn't taking any chances and the country's borders are firmly shut.1 When will Thailand reopen to tourists according to Yuthasak Supasorn ?A We don’t know yet.B Maybe in two months.C Perhaps about in October.D At the end of this year.2 How will the Thailand government decide who can visit ?A They will ask where the tourists will go.B They will send guards to follow the tourists.C They will ask business operators to decide.D They will check where the tourists come form.3 What will happen when Thailand reopen to international tourists ?A Tourists can’t visit spots as many as they like.B Tourists will stay in isolated and closed areas.C Tourists will get food and drink form government.D Tourists can’t stay long in Thailand.4 What can be the title of this passage ?A Come and visit Thailand.B Thailand isn’t reopening yet.C Thailand’s tourism is back to life.D Why tourists like Thailand.Passage 4 美国面临的树木危机If you're looking for a reason to care about tree loss, this summer's record-breaking heat waves might be it. Trees can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit(华氏度), according to a recent study. But tree cover in US cities is shrinking. A study published last year by the US Forest Service found that we lost 36 million trees annually from urban and rural communities over a five-year period. If we continue on this path, "cities will become warmer, more polluted and generally more unhealthy for inhabitants," said David Nowak, a senior US Forest Service scientist and co-author of the study. Nowak says there are many reasons our tree cover is declining, including hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, insects and disease. But the one reason for tree loss that humans can control is sensible development."We see the tree cover being changed, which means when we look at the photographs, what was there is now replaced with a parking lot or a building," Nowak said. "Every time we put a road down, we put a building and we cut a tree or add a tree, it not only affects that site, it affects the region." The study placed a value on tree loss based on trees' role in air pollution removal and energy conservation.Nowak says there's a downside to trees too, such as pollen allergies or large falling branches in storms, "and people don't like sweeping leaves." But, he says, there are ways cities and counties can manage trees to help communities thrive. Urban forests especially need our help to replace fallen trees. Unlike rural areas, it is very difficult for trees to repopulate themselves in a city environment with so much pavement and asphalt(沥青). "A lot of our native trees can't actually find a place to drop a seed so they can regenerate," explains Greg Levine, co-executive director for Trees Atlanta. "That's why the community has to go in and actually plant a tree because the areas just aren't natural anymore."Nowak says the first step is caring for the trees on your own property. "We think we pay for our house, and so we must maintain it. But because we don't pay for nature, we don't need to. And that's not necessarily1 Why does the author mention “t rees can lower summer daytime temperatures” ?A To tell the temperatures in summer are high.B To introduce the topic.C To tell trees are helpful.D To explain the reason of tree loss.2 How can humans control tree loss according to Nowak ?A Improve climate to let trees grow.B Prevent fires form damaging trees.C Develop cities in reasonable ways.D Decrease insects in citites.3 Why forests in cities need our help ?A Because trees in urban areas can’t regenerate naturally.B Because native trees don’t drop seeds any more.C Because trees don’t grow in a city environment.D Because humans want to plant more trees.4 What is the purpose of this passage ?A Describe the importance of trees in cities.B Show the number of trees in the US is declining.C Ask people to plant trees with the author.D Appeal people to protect trees in their surroundings.1. C. 根据句意:在弗洛伊德死后的几天里,成千上万的人涌上街头,抗议警察的___导致的杀戮和在弗洛伊德之前死亡的人。

一、语篇泛读Even if you’re a couch potato like me, you’ll know the benefits of running - pounding the pavements, working up a sweat, burning off some calories and generally keeping fit. But if you’re a real fitness junkie, the ultimate running challenge is to take part in a marathon.It seems every major city and town aro und the world hosts an annual marathon, with thousands of athletes running a gruelling 42.1 kilometers. Whilst many runners’ motivation is to beat their personal best and cross the finishing line without collapsing, they’re also doing it for a good cause– to generate funds for charity. But like other major events, the marathon also generates a massive carbon footprint. Thousands travel - some by plane - to the location, and waste from food packaging and goody bags gets left behind by spectators and runners. For example, during the London Marathon in 2018, 47,000plastic bottles were collected, although some were recycled.This is becoming a big issue for cities –how to host a worthwhile event, encouraging people to exercise and help charities, whilst protecting the environment? Several cities have developed formal plans to reduce their environmental impact and promote sustainable ideas. One event in Wales, for example, introduced recycling for old running kit and ethically sourced the race t-shirts.It’s something that this year’s London Marathon tried to tackle by reducing the number of drink stations on the running route, giving out water in paper cups and offering some drinks in edible seaweed capsules. They also trialed new bottle belts made from recycled plastic so 700 runners could carry water bottles with them during their run.

以下讲述过量食糖的隐患并讨论平衡饮食的重要性。

一、语篇泛读Vocabulary: health 词汇: 健康Sweet or savoury? What kind of tastes do you like? If like me, you have a sweet tooth, you probably can't resist eating cakes, biscuits or chocolate and will sweeten your tea or coffee with spoonfuls of sugar –delicious! But the taste makes it very easy to ignore the warnings that too much of the white stuff is bad for our health.Consuming sugar is an addiction–the more we eat, the more we want. Today's processed food, like ready meals, is laced with the stuff and many fizzy drinks contain seven teaspoons of sugar in just one can. In the UK, statistics show that sugar consumption is at its highest level in history and the government is trying to get the food industry to cut the amount of sugar in popular products like chocolate bars by 20% by 2020.Of course, sugary food tastes nice, it can help lift our mood, and the glucose in it can give us an energy boost. But there are dangers too: a high-sugar diet is linked to obesity, and being overweight can increase the risk of getting type 2 diabetes. With these warning signs, I have considered changing my diet by replacing sugary snacks with f ruit and savoury biscuits –but that's boring, I need my sugar fix!I'm not alone.

The fires are so massive that smoke has traveled all the way to the East Coast, prompting health warnings in Connecticut and Maryland and turning the skies above New York City hazy and red. And from Germany to China, extreme flooding has caused death and destruction. At least180 people in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands were killed last week when two months' worth of rain fell in two days, causing floods and mudslides. In the central Chinese province of Henan, 14 people died after riders were trapped on a subway amid catastrophic flooding after torrential rains.These terrifying scenes from across the globe have long been predicted by scientists studying our warming planet. Higher temperatures would lead to more heatwaves and droughts in some areas that would fuel bigger, more frequent wildfires. In other areas the warmer climate would trap moisture in the atmosphere, leading to heavier rainfall during storms.Climate change is making normal weather events-heatwaves, droughts, rainstorms and hurricanes more extreme and more devastating to communities unprepared for the attack. What's most frightening, however, is that extremes are happening faster than many predicted. As the last few weeks has shown, there's no time to waste. The summer has already given a terrible glimpse of the future if we don't change course now.( A )1. What does the underlined word “broiled" mean in Paragraph 2?A. Roasted.B.Flooded.C.Burnt.D.Swept.( D )2.How does the author stress the severity of extreme flooding?A. By making comparisons.B. By describing details.C. By analyzing causes.D.

What is the purpose of the passage?A. To inform us of extreme weather.B. To call on us to pay more attention to climate change.C. To instruct us how to survive in extreme weather.D. To predict climate change in the future.阅读理解(3)本篇源自:NatureSince first appearing in India in late 2020, the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 has become the predominant strain(主要毒株)in much of the world. Researchers might now know why Delta has been so "successful": People infected with it produce far more viruses than those infected with the original version ofSARS-CoV-2,making it very easy to spread.According to current estimates, the Delta variant could be more than twice as transmissible as the original strain ofSARS-CoV-2. To find out why, epidemiologist Jing Lu at the Guangdong Próvincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Guangzhou, China, and his colleagues tracked 62 people who were some of the first people in mainland China to become infected with the Delta strain.The team tested study participants' "viral load”-a measure of the density of viral particles in the body-every day throughout the course of infection to see how it changed over time.Researchers then compared participants' infection patterns with those of 63 people who contracted the original SARS-CoV-2 strain in 2020.The researchers report that the virus was first detectable in people with the Delta variant four days after exposure, compared with an average of six days among people with the original strain,suggesting that Delta reproduces much faster. Individuals infected with Delta also had viral loads up to 1,260 times higher than those in people infected with the original strain.The combination of a large number of viruses and a short incubation period makes sense as an explanation for Delta's heightened transmissibility, says epidemiologist BenjamiCowling at the University of Hong Kong. The sheer amount of virus in the respiratory tract means that super spreading events are likely to infect even more people, and that people might begin spreading the virus earlier after they become infected.And the short incubation period makes contact tracing more difficult in countries such as China,which systematically tracks each infected person's contacts and requires them to quarantine.“Putting it all together, Delta's really difficult to stop," Cowling says.( D )1. What is the purpose of epidemiologist Jing Lu's research?A. To find out whether Delta is a variant of SARS-CoV-2.B. To determine how SARS-CoV-2 progresses.C. To find out the solution to ending COVID-19.D. To find out what causes Delta to spread faster.( A )2. How does Jing Lu's team conduct their research?A.By comparing the participants' infection patterns.B. By monitoring the participants' course of infection.C. By measuring the participants' exposure time to Delta.D. By analyzing the data collected from previous studies.( D )3.Which of the following does NOT make for the fast spread of Delta?A. Delta's high viral loads.B. Delta's rapid reproduction ability.C. Delta's short incubation period.D. Delta's ability to escape the immune system.( D )4.What is Cowling's attitude toward stopping Delta?A.Indifferent.B. Ambiguous.C. Optimistic.D. Cautious.阅读理解(4)本篇源自:The EconomistA toothpaste tube, squeezed and twisted out of shape in a vain attempt to extract its remaining contents, haunts many a bathroom. But not, perhaps, for much longer. Colgate-Palmolive,an American consumer-goods giant, has taken up an invention by a pair of experts in supper-slippery surfaces to produce toothpaste tubes that promise to deliver every last scrap of their contents.In 2012 Kripa Varanasi, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and DaveSmith,his PhD student, set up a company called LiquiGlide to commercialize their work on making liquids flow more easily through pipes and out of containers. What caught many people's imagination at the time was a demonstration of how this could be used to empty a ketchup bottle without shaking it violently.The new toothpaste, called Elixir, comes in three varieties: a formula for whitening teeth,one for gum and enamel(牙龈和牙釉质)care and a “detox” version which,it is claimed,removes impurities from the mouth. All are packaged in plastic tubes that can be emptied with ease. Elixir has gone on sale in Europe, though no decision has yet been made about whether it will be sold elsewhere.To produce their slippery pipes and containers, Professor Varanasi and Dr. Smith first impose a microscopically textured pattern on them and then apply a suitably formulated liquid. This fills the gaps in the texture, creating a surface across which gooey substances slide easily. Any risk of contamination(污染)can be eliminated by making the liquid in question from materials also employed in the product.Besides pleasing customers who like to get their money's worth, the new,slippery toothpaste tubes should help with recycling. Existing tubes are rarely recycled, not only because they have residue left inside them but also because they are usuallymade from a laminate of plastic and aluminum foil. Mixed materials of this sort are hard to recycle, and therefore end up being dumped in landfills. Despite their success with toothpaste tubes, Professor Varanasi and Dr.Smith have not given up on food containers.( D )1.What is special about the new toothpaste tube?A.Its twisted shape.B.Its delivery service.C. Its remaining contents.D.Its slippery pipes and containers.( D )2. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 mean?unching their products onto the market.B. Setting up LiquiGlide to take up an invention.C. Squeezing and shaking a toothpaste tube.D. Making liquids slide easily on slippery surfaces.( B )3.What can be inferred from the passage?A. The new toothpaste will be sold around the world soon.B. A suitably formulated liquid is vital in producing the slippery pipes.C. Existing tubes are easy to recycle, but hard to empty.D. Professor Varanasi and Dr. Smith find it impossible to apply the invention to food containers.阅读理解(5)本篇源自:Science NewsA new chemical analysis has revealed an ugly truth about beauty products: Many beauty products may contain highly persistent, potentially harmful “forever chemicals” called PFAS.PFAS,short for per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances(多氟烷基化合物),include thousands of chemicals that are so sturdy that they can stay in the body for years and the environment for centuries. Those compounds have been linked to high cholesterol,thyroid diseases and other problems. “There is no known good PFAS,” says chemist and physicist Graham Peaslee of the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.In the first large screening of makeup for PFAS in the United States and Canada, Peasleeand colleagues found that 52 percent of over 200 tested products had high fluorine(氟)concentrations,suggesting the presence of PFAS. The researchers report online on June 15 in Environmental Science & Technology Letters.The potential health risks of PFAS in makeup are not yet clear, Peaslee says. But besides people ingesting or absorbing PFAS when wearing makeup, makeup washed down could get into drinking water.Peaslee's team measured the amount of fluorine, a key component of PFAS, in 231 cosmetics.63 percent of foundations,55 percent of lip products and 82 percent of waterproof mascara(睫毛膏)contained high leveIs of fluorine. Long-lasting or waterproof products were especially likely to contain lots of fluorine. That makes sense,since PFAS are water-resistant.In addition to posing their own potential health risks, these compounds can break down in the body into other PFAS, such as perfluorooctanoic acid, which has been linked to cancers and low birth weights.( A)1.The underlined word “sturdy” in Paragraph 2 probably means“_”.A.stubbornB.harmfulC.beneficialD.flexible( B )2. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. PFAS are the main reason for health problems such as high cholesterol.B. More than 100 tested products are high in fluorine concentrations.C. Scientist have figured out the potential health risks of PFAS.D. PFAS are harmful to health because it can not be broken down.( C )3.Where is this text most likely from?A.A chemistry textbook.B. A cosmetic advertisement.C.A science website.D. A traveling journal.阅读理解(6)本篇源自:The New York TimesIn 1946,a 23-year-old army veteran(退伍军人)named John Goodenough headed to the University of Chicago with a dream of studying physics. When he arrived, a professor warned him that he was already too old to succeed in the field. He ignored the professor's advice and today, at 94, has just got the tech industry excited about his blazing creativity. He and his team at the University of Texas at Austin filed a patent application on a new kind of battery that,if it works as promised, would be so cheap, lightweight, and safe that it would revolutionize electric cars and kill off petroleum-fueled vehicles.We tend to assume that creativity declines with age. On the contrary, there's plenty of evidence to suggest that late blooming is not uncommon. John P. Walsh, one of the professors,joked that the Patent Office should give a “senior discount” because “there's clear evidence that people with seniority are making important contributions to invention". A study of Nobel Physics winners found that, since the 1980s, they have made their discoveries, on average, at age 50.The study also found that the peak of creativity for Nobel winners is getting higher every year.When talking about his late-life success, Dr. Goodenough said, “Some of us are turtles;we crawl and struggle along, and we haven't maybe figured it out by the time we're 30.But the turtles have to keep on walking." This crawl through life can be advantageous, he pointed out,particularly if you wander around through different fields, picking up clues as you go along. Dr.Goodenough started in physics and hopped sideways into chemistry and materials science,while also keeping his eye on the social and political trends that could drive a green economy.“You have to draw ona fair amount of experience in order to be able to put ideas together,” he said. EVERROTIONHe also credits his faith for keeping him focused on his mission to defeat pollution and ditch(摆脱)petroleum(石油).“I'm grateful for the doors that have been opened to me indifferent periods of my life,” he said. He believes the glass battery was just another example of the happy accidents that have come his way: “At just the right moment when I was looking for something, it walker into the door.”( B )1.Dr.Goodenough excited people withA.his switching his majorsB. his newly invented batteryC.his obtaining a patentD.his ignoring the professor's warning( C )2. What can we know about John P. Walsh mentioned in Paragraph 2?A.He excels at telling jokes.B.He received a senior discount recently.C.He believes age is not a barrier to creativity.D.He co-invented the battery with Dr. Goodenough.( C )3.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To inform us of a new invention.B. To analyze the advantages of being old.C. To point out age is no barrier to innovation.D.To predict the age of future Nobel Prize winners.阅读理解(7)本篇源自:CricketLong ago,in the unhappy village of Chelm,there lived an old sage(智者).All the villagers were unhappy because they thought their neighbors had better lives than them. So, day and night, the envious townsfolk would call upon their sage to complain. Before the sage could even raise a spoonful of breakfast to his lips, the baker would burst into his house for a morning's complaint.“They say my bread isn't crispy! Tell me, sage, how I can make crispy bread when all I've got is a hundred-year-old oven that's really an icebox! The emperor's heart is warmer than my oven! And how can I afford a new oven when nobody buys my bread? You see the pickle I'm in? A schoolteacher I should have been. Schoolteachers don't have such headaches.”No sooner had the baker stomped out of the door than the butcher marched in. “My customers do nothing but complain! This chicken's too fat! This meat's too tough! Be a bookkeeper, my dear mother once told me. But did I listen? No. Now look at this pickle I'm in! "And after the butcher complained, the tailor, the shoemaker, and the milkman complained...It was more than a person could stand. Something had to be done. Early one brisk fall morning, the sage marched to the village square, where he posted a huge sign that read: All citizens of Chelm will gather here at noon. Bring a big greenpickle.When everybody arrived, the sage said, “Imagine that everything you are is in your pickle.Your wisdom and your foolishness are in your pickle. Your blessings and your curses are in your pickle. Your talents and your flaws are in your pickle. If you don't like your pickle, no big deal: Pick someone else's. Go ahead and choose."And, with that pronouncement, all the citizens now had the overwhelming task of deciding whose pickle they wanted. The baker's eye immediately fell on the schoolteacher's. The schoolteacher's eye shot over to the tailor's. Every eye examined every pickle in town.To this day, it isn't clear who chose first. Some say the baker, some the milkman, but one thing is absolutely certain: When it was over, the townspeople had taken back their very own pickles.Since that day, whenever a villager approached the sage to complain, though not many of the town folk did, the sage would simply say, “It's your pickle; you picked it, and that would be the end of that."( A )1.What can we infer according to the baker's complaint?A. The oven doesn't function well.B.The townsfolk are too picky.C.He has hurt the emperor's heart.D. Schoolteachers are more welcome.( A )2.Which words can be used to describe the sage?A.Patient and wise.B. Generous and modest.C.Envious and brilliant.D.Impatient and timid.( B )3.Which of the following sayings might the sage agree with?A. Pride hurts, modesty benefits.B. Don't blame destiny, and don't blame the others.C.Behind bad luck comes good luck.D.All that glitters is not gold.( C )4.Which is the best title for the text?A.Turn to a sageB. Decide to be happyC. Pick a pickleD. Choose a career阅读理解(8)本篇源自:Scientific AmericanMindfulness may indeed have psychological benefits. Earlier this year, researches revealed that mindfulness-based interventions had benefits for a number of health outcomes, including stress, anxiety and depression. Although mindfulness has its merits, psychological research has also revealed that in some circumstances it's important to be mindless. Everyday examples range from riding a bike to choppingcucumbers to brushing your teeth.Research has also revealed that paying too much attention to what you're doing can have damaging effects, particularly when you perform well-practiced skills. In fact, this is one reason why some experts appear to “choke under pressure”: They think too much about the mechanics of the task at hand.In a classic study, cognitive scientist Sian Beilock and her colleagues had skilled golfers attempt to sink putts(击球入洞)under different experimental conditions. In one condition,the golfers were simply instructed to pay attention to the swing of their club and say “stop”when they finished their swing. In another condition, they were instructed to listen for a target sound while ignoring other noises and say the word “tone”when they heard the target sound.Counter-intuitively, the skilled golfers performed substantially worse when they focused on their swing than when they paid attention to irrelevant sounds. The effect of paying attention to their swing was so damaging that the golfers actually did better when they were warming up before the experiment began.More recently, psychologist Yannick Balk and his colleagues had golfers try different interventions designed to alleviate the effects of performance pressure. The researchers induced performance pressure by videotaping the participants, telling them that their score sheets would be posted publicly at the clubhouse and encouraging great performance with prizes. Without an intervention, the golfers performed significantly worse under pressure. Yet participants who were encouraged to think about something else-specifically,a song they knew by heart-improved when the stakes were high. It is worth cautioning that these results should be replicated in larger samples and across different contexts.Nevertheless, the important message from this research is that focusing too carefully on the execution of well-practiced motor sequences can cause mistakes. Of course, we should not resign ourselves to going through life on autopilot, missing opportunities t make deeper connections with ourselves, one another and our environment. But there are situations where we should let automaticity take over. The next time you ride a bike, don't overthink it.( B )1. Mindfulness is significant when you are.A. brushing your teethB. suffering from depressionpleting your daily routineD. performing well-practiced skills( C )2. What does the classic study prove?A.What benefits mindlessness can bring.B. How mindlessness works in a competition.C.Whether mindfulness can have damaging effects.D. Why mindfulness can boost athletic performance.( B )3. According to the results of Yannick Balk's study, we'd betterA. be absent-minded in Math classB. listen to the music while joggingC. multitask while learning EnglishD. pay close attention while cutting vegetables阅读理解(9)本篇源自:National Geographic TravelerPick-your-own farms are set for a post-lockdown boom this summer, as people look to support local businesses and spend more time outdoors.Here are four of our favorites.Parkside Farm,EnfieldJuicy blackberries, and strawberries are the stars of the show at this pick-your-own place on the northern edge of London. One key selling point is the “table-top" strawberry-growing system, which means plants are grown in places at waistheight-no more bending down in the dirt to pick your berries. Park side is also one of the few farms accessible without a car,as long as you don't mind a walk-it's 25 minutes from Gordon Hill station.Craigie's Farm, ScotlandJust outside Edinburgh, Craigie's Farm is bursting with produce including cherries, peas,broad beans and, perhaps surprisingly, sunflowers. The onsite shop, deli and cafe have a lot more to offer besides fruit and vegetables-you can pick up homemade jams, meat,cheese and an apple press for making your own juice. There are activities for children too, including a Nature Detective Trail involving encounters with sheep and goats.Hewitts Farm,KentThis family-run farm in Kent offers everything from spinach to apples and blackberries during its pick-your-own season, which runs from June to October(for Halloween pumpkins). There's also a shop selling farm-grown and local produce, as well as free tractor rides for youngsters on Sundays during the summer.Bellis Brothers Farm, WrexhamThis farm in North Wales started growing strawberries back in 1860 and has operated as a pick-your-own since 1967. More fruits have been added since then, but it's still mostly known for its strawberries. Pickers can download Bellis family strawberry recipes from the farm's website,including those for jams and a baked strawberry cheesecake.( B )1.Which place is recommended if visitors want homemade jams?A.Parkside Farm.B. Craigie's Farm.C.Hewitts Farm.D.Bellis Brothers Farm.( B )2. Which of the following is TRUE about Parkside Farm?A. You need not worry about getting dirty on the farm.B. You can pick berries without bending down.C.You must drive there due to its long distance from the station.D. You can enjoy sunflowers in the sunshine.( A )3.In which part of the magazine can you probably find this passage?A.Travel.B.Books.C.Business.D.Sports.阅读理解(10)本篇源自:Entertainment WeeklyBuilding an entire hour around the lives of teenagers was an uncommon choice at the time.But the inexperienced Fox network decided to have a try. And the result was somehow more popular than Brandon Walsh walking down a hallway at West Beverly Hills High School. "Itused to be kid TV, or adult TV with teenage elements to it," says Julie Plec, co-creator of TheVampire Diaries. "My first memory of teen TV was seeing a commercial for Beverly Hills,90210." Nowadays, she continues, "teen TV is important because it's new.”Maintaining that newness is the big challenge for a television producer that relies on capturing the attention of a constantly changing class of viewers. As networks began to understand the power of adolescent stories(and audiences), moreteen-centered shows started to appear and evolve.With the launches of Gossip Girl in 2007 and Pretty Little Liars in 2010, suddenly teen shows weren't just about love triangles. They needed more, like a mystery, like Riverdale and Elite putting high schoolers in the middle of unpredictable scenarios. “Along came the more hooky(逃学)kind of shows,”says Everwood creator Greg Berlanti. “Everything needed a high-concept package around it.” Often that concept would be supernatural-a trend that can be traced back through The Vampire Diaries and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, among others. Today that theme is bigger than ever thanks to fantasy epics like Netflix's Shadow and Bone.What does the future hold for teen TV? Whatever comes next, “authenticity is always the key,” says Berlanti. “They have to be truthful." And wherever there is an authentic teen story,there's one thing that we can guarantee will come with it:hormones(荷尔蒙).Lots of hormones. ( D )1.According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Teen TV used to be common and popular.B. Fox had much experience in making teen TV.C. Julie Plec was a big fan of The Vampire Diaries.D. Newness makes teen TV important.( C )2. What is the big challenge that teen TV producers face?A. To focus only on a fixed group of teens.B.To change the target viewers constantly.C. To create more new ideas and things.D.To maintain the old tradition.( D )3.How does the author develop the third paragraph?A. By making comments.B. By following time order.C.By explaining the process.。

备战2023高考英语外刊阅读训练(一)

外刊精读:1写日记的好处导读:你喜欢回忆往事吗?你是否担心随着时间的推移会忘记过去的点点滴滴?不妨在忙碌间抽出片刻写篇日记,记录生活中的美好或失意。

本文讨论写日记带来的种种好处。

一、语篇泛读For many of us, a work diary is a practical thing. We use them for work to make a note of appointments or meetings, scribbling words next to dates to remind us of something we have to do in the future. But journaling is more about feelings. It’s a personal diary, often kept far from prying eyes, sometimes detailing our secrets and desires. But, when it comes to feelings, what are the benefits to writing things down?Sometimes it can be difficult to say exactly what we’re feeling. Because of anxiety or frustration, it can be tricky to put your problems into words. For some of us, putting pen to paper and jotting down our thoughts is a much easier process than saying them. But it’s not just about the ease of scrawling words. Writing things down can actually he lp us to formulate ideas, consolidate emotions, and understand our feelings. There’s something cathartic about making sense of something that is stressing us, annoying us, or getting us down. Writing a narrative of events or a series of words about what is on your mind can help you to focus, and is comparable to a form of meditation. And journaling isn’t just limited to words. Why not include squiggles, doodles or pictures of what’s happening in your life? Maybe the thing that is annoying you most could be best summed up by a caricature. In short, journaling is good for your mental health.Another thing to consider is that our memories fade over time. What is clear in our minds today may just be forgotten a few years down theline. Logging what’s happening in our lives could trigger memories when we read our diary entries back in years to come, or could act as an insight into our past selves. We can see our development, or be reminded of exciting flashpoints in our lives. The person who was annoying us and y ou drew a doodle of five years ago may now be a close friend, or something that you were once scared of may now seem funny.So, if you have something on your mind, it might be good to get things written down. And if something exciting happens, writing abou t it may help you to remember that wonderful time!二、词汇表三、测试与练习阅读课文并回答问题。

高中英语外刊--高一(下)阅读理解50篇(教师版)-尖子生必备

高中英语外刊--高一(下)阅读理解50篇(教师版)-尖子生必备

⾼中英语外刊--⾼⼀(下)阅读理解50篇(教师版)-尖⼦⽣必备⾼⼀(下)阅读理解外刊改编 50篇Writing a book review is not like writing a fiction, where you have your freedom to express any type of literary mood. Here, you are limited within the scope, which is related only to the book or the literature and nothing else. To write a proper literary review, you should follow some important dos and don’ts, which are discussed here.Top 3 dosSelect a literature of your choice and read it thoroughly. If required, you should read it multiple times, before you really frame up the literary review in your mind. While reading, try to assimilate the thoughts and philosophy of the author behind the book and also to analyze all the characters and events described in the literary piece. Start to pen down your literary analysis only when you have a complete understanding of the book, and not before that.Prepare your write-up based on your understanding of the book. Since you are reviewing the book, your opinion plays an important role here. If you prefer any particular character or any particular instance from the book, then expose that character or the situation in your review, to give it more importance. Also determine your preference with supporting logic. Ultimately it is your understanding of the book, and it can differ from others’ viewpoint. But you should stick to your opinion.Follow a proper format to construct your book review. It should have a proper introduction and a conclusion, other than the usual subject body. Distribute the subject body in chapters and paragraphs, to give a nice, structured look. Also, add a list of reference material at the end of the book. A structured material always carries a good impression and also, it helps the reader to go through the article at ease.Top 3 don’tsBook reviews are not exactly meant for writing a summary on the books. The objective of writing a book review is to arouse the curiosity in the mind of the readers. If someone mentions everything in the summary then the actual intention is lost.As mentioned earlier, one should not cross your limit to write a literary review. Do not bring up unnecessary topics to increase the length of the write-up, which is not at all related to the book. The readers want to learn about the book and not something irrelevant. Also, a smart and crisp writing helps to create a positive impression.You can go through reference books or articles on your subject, before you start preparing your article. But that should be completely with the intention of getting help in your understanding of the book. These reference items will help to strengthen your grip on the subject. But, you should nevercopy a single line of text from any other document or write-up. Plagiarism(剽窃), in any form, is a punishable offence by law. It will also destroy your reputation and close all the future avenues in this field.If you can follow the above dos and don’ts religiously to write a book review, then it is going to be more original and interesting.1. Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “assimilate”in paragraph 2?A. stimulateB. fertilizeC. digestD. enhance2. The purpose of writing a review on a book isA. to show your understanding of the thoughts and philosophy of the author behind the bookB. to show that you really stick to your own opinion though you’ve read the bookC. to arouse readers’ curiosity to read more books on irrelevant topicsD. to spark readers’ interests in finding the book and reading it3. Which of the following is NOT true about the “dos”?A. Before writing a book review, you’d better read it thoroughly or many times.B. Write down yourC. If you are interested in certain situation in the book, you can hardly give it too much importancein your review.D. A good review consists of a proper introduction and a conclusion, as well as a nice-structuredsubject body.4.The following statements are “don’ts” when writing a summary exceptA. going through reference books or articles on your subject, before you start preparing your articleB. presenting all the detailed description of the book in the summaryC. the thought or action of putting anything irrelevant to the book into the summaryD. any forms of copying the text from others’ written work【参考答案与解题思路】■1.C猜测词义题,考查根据上下⽂推断单词和短语的含义解析:根据句意,阅读时要试着理解作者的想法和⼼理活动。

原创--2020年高中英语 外刊时文新闻阅读理解四篇-4(附详答)

2020年高中英语外刊时文新闻阅读理解四篇Passage 1 美国因黑人死亡引发的抗议示威It's been a week since 46-year-old balck George Floyd died after pleading he couldn't breathe as a Minneapolis officer kneeled on his neck. The four officers involved were fired and Derek Chauvin, who pressed his knee on the man's neck, was charged(控告) with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. In the days since Floyd's death, thousands poured onto the country's streets to protest the killing and those who died before Floyd as a result of police brutality.The demonstrations(示威游行) began in Minneapolis and spread like wildfire across the US -- Los Angeles, Atlanta, Washington, DC, Miami, New York City and Chicago all saw crowds demonstrating. Many protests were peaceful, with people holding "Black Lives Matter" and "I can't breathe" signs, shouting loudly and armed with face masks for protection against coronavirus(新冠病毒). But some groups turned violent over the weekend, setting fires to buildings and police cars, breaking through windows of businesses, looting(抢劫) and fighting with police forces. Police responded forcefully, shooting tear gas and rubber bullets at the crowds and arresting hundreds throughout the countries. In New York City, a police vehicle was seen driving through a crowd of protesters. In Atlanta, two officers were fired after their violent arrest of two college students was caught on video. It's still unclear what the coming days will look like.To help control the violence, at least 40 cities lawfully established curfews(宵禁) and more than a dozen governors organized National Guard army. In the nation's capital, a similar scene. Just before 8 p.m. Sunday night, armed officers and protesters remained in a standoff in downtown Washington as crowds threw water bottles at police and police responded with flash bangs and pepper spray. In New York, a group of protesters remained in Manhattan as night fell, facing off with police after several fires were set and some stores were looted. Officials in several cities have warned that those who are looting stores and creating scenes of chaos1 What does the underlined word “brutality” mean in paragraph 1 ?A thoughtful assistanceB long working hoursC violent treatment or behaviorD breaking local laws2 What can we learn from paragraph 2 ?A There were wildfires in many cities across the US.B Police used forceful measures trying to control the situation.C All protestors in the US were peacefully holding signs.D The protests will end in a few days.3 What is true about protesters in the US ?A They will be killed during curfews.B They fought against police in Washington.C They stopped protesting after night fall in New York.D They looted stores to protest Floyd's death.4 Which can be the best title of this passage ?A Protestors are under controlB George Floyd’s deathC Police commit violent behaviorD Protests spread like wildfirePassage 2 印度男子步行千里归家Rajesh Chouhan had walked 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) in five days. The 26-year-old migrant worker(外来务工者) was in the heart of India and only halfway home. When India announced its nationwide lockdown on March 24 to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus(新冠病毒). Overnight, many like Chouhan were stranded without jobs, food or savings. They had to figure out ways to leave the cities. With no way to survive in the cities, and India's vast railway network mostly shut down, many made the extraordinary decision to walk thousands of miles back to their families.Normally Chouhan pays 300 rupees ($4) for the 48-hour trip home in the lowest train carriage, but during the pandemic(大流行病) that price rose to 1,200 rupees ($15.90). State police were assigned to sell tickets and keep order at police stations packed with travelers desperate to get home. Police in Bengalore said they used sticks to clear the crowds when sales for the day ended. "We were beaten many times. Just because we are poor, doesn't mean we can't feel pain," says Chouhan. After spending five days outside a police station trying to get a ticket, Chouhan and his fellow villagers decided to walk. They didn't dare tell their families. Many didn't make it. In one incident, 16 laborers were run over by a freight train as they slept on rail tracks. Roadside accidents took the lives of others. Some died from exhaustion, dehydration(脱水) or hunger. Those picked up by police were often sent back to the cities they had tried to leave. Chouhan knew the risks. But on May 12, he decided to challenge India's strict lockdown laws and begin the 1,250-mile (2,000-kilometer) walk to his village in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.He'd hoped to hitchhike much of the way, but with police checking trucks for stowaways(偷渡者), drivers were demanding fees beyond Chouhan's budget. For 10 days, he'd have to avoid police check points, survive on tea and biscuits, and walk on aching feet. "I don't think I can forget this journey through my life," he says. "It'll always carry memories of sadness and anxiety."1 What does the underlined words “were stranded” probably mean in paragraph 1 ?A be hiredB be hurtC unable to leaveD unable to live2 Why did Chouhan and other villagers decide to walk home ?A Because the price of tickets were too high.B Because they tried to get train tickets in vain.C Because they were beaten by police.D Because the a five-day sale of tickets ended.3 What can we guess about the risks of Chouhan’s journey home ?A He may have lost his money during his walking.B He would have died if he had taken a train.C Police will sent him home if he wishes.D Perhaps he can’t get enough food and drink.4 What can we know about Chouhan ?A He was caught by police amid his journey.B He helped his fellow villagers to get home.C He was impressed by the journey.D He won’t go to cities for jobs.Passage 3 受疫情影响的泰国旅游业With news that many countries in Europe are reopening to tourism in time for summer, travelers with their sights set on Asia are anxiously awaiting word on when they'll be given the green light to visit their favorite destination. As of now, those with Thailand in mind will need to wait at least a few more months before packing their bags. "It is still dependent on the outbreak situation, but I think at the earliest, we may see the return of tourists could be the fourth quarter of this year," Yuthasak Supasorn, governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), said.And even then, he says, there will likely be restrictions on who can visit and where they can go. "We are not going to open all at once," he adds. "We are still on high alert, we just can't let our guards down yet. We have to look at the country of origin (of the travelers) to see if their situation has truly improved. And lastly, we have to see whether our own business operators are ready to receive tourists under the 'new normal'." Basically, a country will open borders with destinations that also have their coronavirus(新冠病毒) situation under control. Once Thailand does open to international tourists, they'll likely only be able to visit certain spots, says Yuthasak. "We have studied a possibility of offering special long-stay packages in isolated and closed areas where health monitoring can be easily controlled -- for example, Koh Pha Ngan and Koh Samui. This will be beneficial for both tourists and local residents, since this is almost a kind of quarantine(隔离)." Yuthasak says they're finishing up a framework to restart tourism, but baby steps are needed to relight international tourism. "The next step is bilateral agreements between countries," he says. "Thailand's good standing in the face of the crisis with China, along with strong demand, make it a logical short-term solution for overseas tourism to return to the Kingdom." For now, Thailand isn't taking any chances and the country's borders are firmly shut.1 When will Thailand reopen to tourists according to Yuthasak Supasorn ?A We don’t know yet.B Maybe in two months.C Perhaps about in October.D At the end of this year.2 How will the Thailand government decide who can visit ?A They will ask where the tourists will go.B They will send guards to follow the tourists.C They will ask business operators to decide.D They will check where the tourists come form.3 What will happen when Thailand reopen to international tourists ?A Tourists can’t visit spots as many as they like.B Tourists will stay in isolated and closed areas.C Tourists will get food and drink form government.D Tourists can’t stay long in Thailand.4 What can be the title of this passage ?A Come and visit Thailand.B Thailand isn’t reopening yet.C Thailand’s tourism is back to life.D Why tourists like Thailand.Passage 4 美国面临的树木危机If you're looking for a reason to care about tree loss, this summer's record-breaking heat waves might be it. Trees can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit(华氏度), according to a recent study. But tree cover in US cities is shrinking. A study published last year by the US Forest Service found that we lost 36 million trees annually from urban and rural communities over a five-year period. If we continue on this path, "cities will become warmer, more polluted and generally more unhealthy for inhabitants," said David Nowak, a senior US Forest Service scientist and co-author of the study. Nowak says there are many reasons our tree cover is declining, including hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, insects and disease. But the one reason for tree loss that humans can control is sensible development."We see the tree cover being changed, which means when we look at the photographs, what was there is now replaced with a parking lot or a building," Nowak said. "Every time we put a road down, we put a building and we cut a tree or add a tree, it not only affects that site, it affects the region." The study placed a value on tree loss based on trees' role in air pollution removal and energy conservation.Nowak says there's a downside to trees too, such as pollen allergies or large falling branches in storms, "and people don't like sweeping leaves." But, he says, there are ways cities and counties can manage trees to help communities thrive. Urban forests especially need our help to replace fallen trees. Unlike rural areas, it is very difficult for trees to repopulate themselves in a city environment with so much pavement and asphalt(沥青). "A lot of our native trees can't actually find a place to drop a seed so they can regenerate," explains Greg Levine, co-executive director for Trees Atlanta. "That's why the community has to go in and actually plant a tree because the areas just aren't natural anymore."Nowak says the first step is caring for the trees on your own property. "We think we pay for our house, and so we must maintain it. But because we don't pay for nature, we don't need to. And that's not necessarily1 Why does the author mention “trees can lower summer daytime temperatures” ?A To tell the temperatures in summer are high.B To introduce the topic.C To tell trees are helpful.D To explain the reason of tree loss.2 How can humans control tree loss according to Nowak ?A Improve climate to let trees grow.B Prevent fires form damaging trees.C Develop cities in reasonable ways.D Decrease insects in citites.3 Why forests in cities need our help ?A Because trees in urban areas can’t regenerate naturally.B Because native trees don’t drop seeds any more.C Because trees don’t grow in a city environment.D Because humans want to plant more trees.4 What is the purpose of this passage ?A Describe the importance of trees in cities.B Show the number of trees in the US is declining.C Ask people to plant trees with the author.D Appeal people to protect trees in their surroundings.1. C. 根据句意:在弗洛伊德死后的几天里,成千上万的人涌上街头,抗议警察的___导致的杀戮和在弗洛伊德之前死亡的人。

外刊精读(一)That is why a new approach, behavioural biometrics, is gaining ground. It relies on the wealth of measurements made by today’s devices. These include data from accelerometers and gyroscopic sensors that reveal how people hold their phones when using them, how they carry them and even the way they walk. Touchscreens, keyboards and mice can be monitored to show the distinctive ways in which someone’s fingers and hands move. Sensors can detect whether a phone has been set down on a hard surface such as a table or dropped lightly on a soft one such as a bed. If the hour is appropriate, this action could be used to assume when a user has retired for the night. These traits can then be used to determine whether someone attempting to make a transaction is likely to be the device’s habitual user. gain ground:字面意思是“获得土地”;if an idea, belief etc gains ground, more people start to accept it.当用gain ground修饰idea, belief, solution,approach等词的时候,可以理解成become more popular,“流行,被越来越多的人接受……”例如:His theories gradually gained ground among academics.他的理论渐渐被学者们接受了。
