After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset.However, we did not mark the route(路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place , it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still , looking backon the photos , they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.24.

Probably fish and chips , or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Eventhough Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine , it is producing more top classchefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe booksfrequently topthe best seller lists.lts thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. lt is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britains consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food coursesat UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what peoplethink about cooking.According to a new study from market analysts , 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients(配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and youngpeople are also getting more interested in cooking. The Uks ob.session( 痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, its no longer uncool for boys to like cooking.28. What do people usually think of British food?A. It is simple and plain.B. lt is rich in nutrition.C. It lacks authentic tastes.D. It deserves a high reputation.29. Which best describes cookery programmes on British TV?A.Authoritative.C.Profitable.B.Creative.D.Influential.30. Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now?A. 20%.B.24%.C.25%.D.33% .31 . What might the author continue talking about?A. The art of cooking in other countries.B. Male chefs on TV programmes.C.Table manners in the UK.D.Studies of big eaters.第(28)小题正确答案及相关解析正确答案A第(29)小题正确答案及相关解析正确答案D第(30)小题正确答案及相关解析正确答案D第(31)小题正确答案及相关解析正确答案BDIf you want to tel the history of he whole word , a history that does not privilege one part or humanity, you cannot do it through texis alone , because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not, Witing is one of humanitys later achievements, and untilfairly recently even many literate(有文字的)societies reorded their concerns not only in writing but in tingsIdeally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply Cant. The clearest example of this between leterate and non-iterate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay between Captain Cooks voyaye and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captains reord of that trrible day. From the Australian side , we have only a wooden shield(盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. lf we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and stictly as the written reports.In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victones accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the lncas, all of whom appear in this book , can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made:a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact(联系) between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. lf we are to find the other half of thatconversation . we have to read not just the texts . but the objects.32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. How past events should be presented.B. What humopity is concerned about.C.Whether facts speak louder than words.D. Wiy written language is rliable.33. What does the author indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in paragraph 2?A. His report was sintifi?B.Ne rpresented the local pople.C.He ruley over Botany Bay.D.His record was one-sided.34. What does the underlined word conversation in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Problem.B.History.C. Voice.D.Society.35. Which of the following books is the text most likely slected from?A. How Maps Tell Stories of the WorldB. A Short Nistory of AusraliaC. A Hishry of the World in 100 ObjectsD.

Returning to a book you've read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend．There's a welcome familarity ﹣but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship．But books don't change, people do．And that's what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative．The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register．It's true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings．But with reading, it's all about the present．It's about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader．Each has to pull their own weight．There are three books I reread annually．The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemingway'sA Moveable Feast．Published in 1964, it's his classic memoir of 1920s Paris．The language is almost intoxicating（令人陶醉的）, an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time．Another is Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble（随笔）about everything and nothing．The third book is Julio Cortázar's Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry．And because Cortázar．While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them．But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author's work is the highest________ a reader can pay them．The best books are the ones that open further as time passes．But remember, it's you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends．（1）Why does the author like rereading？________A.It evaluates the writer﹣reader relationship．B.It's a window to a whole new world．C.It's a substitute for drinking with a friend．D.It extends the understanding of oneself．．（2）What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast？________A.It's a brief account of a trip．B.It's about Hemingway's life as a young man．C.It's a record of a historic event．D.It's about Hemingway's friends in Paris．．（3）What does the underlined word "currency" in paragraph 4 refer to？________A.Debt．B.Reward．C.Allowance．D.Face value．．（4）What can we infer about the author from the text？________A.He loves poetry．B.He's an editor．C.He's very ambitious．D.He teaches reading．3. Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries．It does, however, have its own problem．Race walkers are conditioned athletes．The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50﹣kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon．But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact（接触）with the ground at all times．It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractiveactivity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass．Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says．According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories（卡路里）per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1, 000 or more calories per hour．However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr． Norberg says．According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step．As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers．But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport．In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says．It takes some practice．（1）Why are race walkers conditioned athletes？________A.They must run long distances．B.They are qualified for the marathon．C.They have to follow special rules．D.They are good at swinging their legs．．（2）What advantage does race walking have over running？________A.It's more popular at the Olympics．B.It's less challenging physically．C.It's more effective in body building．D.It's less likely to cause knee injuries．．（3）What is Dr． Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking？________A.Getting experts' opinions．B.Having a medical checkup．C.Hiring an experienced coach．D.Doing regular exercises．．（4）Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking？________A.Skeptical．B.Objective．C.Tolerant．D.Conservative．4. The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research．Recent studies have found positive effects．A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime．In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants．The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology（MIT） have taken it a step further ﹣ changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse, even unusual functions．These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater．"We're thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day, " explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT．One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow（发光） in experiments using some common vegetables．Strano's team found that they could create a faint light for three ﹣and﹣a﹣half hours．The light, about one﹣thousandth of the amount needed to read by, is just a start．The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self﹣powered street lamps．In the future, the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a on﹣off treatment that would last the plant's lifetime．The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off "switch" where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight．Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US．Since lighting is often far removed from the power source（电源）﹣ such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway ﹣ a lot of energy is lost during transmission（传输）．Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy．（1）What is the first paragraph mainly about？________A.A new study of different plants．B.A big fall in crime rates．C.Employees from various workplaces．D.Benefits from green plants．．（2）What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineers？________A.To detect plants' lack of water．B.To change compositions of plants．C.To make the life of plants longer．D.To test chemicals in plants．．（3）What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future？________A.They will speed up energy production．B.They may transmit electricity to the home．C.They might help reduce energy consumption．D.They could take the place of power plants．．（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？________A.Can we grow more glowing plants？B.How do we live with glowing plants？C.Could glowing plants replace lamps？D.How are glowing plants made pollution﹣free？．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．)5.A Few Tips for Self﹣AcceptanceWe all want it …to accept and love ourselves．But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach．（1）_______Here's a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction．●（2）_______Do not follow the people who make you feel not﹣good﹣enough．Why do you follow them？Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs？Know that your life is your own；you are the only you in this world．●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made．We are often ashamed of our shortcomings，our mistakes and our failures．（3）_______ You will make mistakes，time and time again．Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better，why not offer yourself a compassionate （有同情心） response？"That didn't go as planned．But，I tried my best．"●Recognize all of your strengths．Write them down in a journal．Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness．List all of your accomplishments and achievements．You have a job，earned your degree，and you got out of bed today．（4）_______●Now that you've listed your strengths，list your imperfections．Turn the page in your journal．Put into words why you feel unworthy，why you don't feel good enough．Now，read these words back to yourself．（5）_______Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements．See how awesome you are？A．Feeling upset again？B．Where do you start？C．Nothing is too small to celebrate．D．Remember， you are only human．E．Set an intention for self﹣acceptance．F．Stop comparing yourself with others．G．When does the comparison game start？第三部分英语知识运用（共两节）第一节完形填空（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．)6.

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: Read the following two passages. Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, fillin each blank with one proper word. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.Accidents happen almost everywhere every day. Some accidents are not serious and some really are. We read about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. And people usually think that accidents take place only on the roads or highways until they (25) ______ come across accidents in their homes or even at work places. As a matter of fact, home accidents are just as common as those we see and hear on the roads, some of (26) ______ cause even much more serious consequences. Because very few home accidents are reported, people come to think that there are few accidents that happen in homes.There (27) ______ (be) many serious cases where people fall to their deaths from high-rise flats so far. In most cases, children and women often fall over while (28) ______ (step) down the stairs. Old people may slip on wet floors, getting badly hurt or even killed, if they are not careful.Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances at home (29) ______ ______ rice cookers, micro waves and washing machines, which make life easy for the modern housewives. These appliances can kill people (30) ______ they are used in the proper way. Gas stoves used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly used. They may cause burns or, in more serious cases, even fires.But all such accidents (31) ______ be stopped if we are careful and follow simple rules of safety. For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how to repair them. Therefore, it is safer and more reliable (32) ______ people get them repaired by an electrician.A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that nearly all these students considered (33) ______ (understand) spoken English, especially in the first few weeks, to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking or communicating. Writing then increased as a big problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they (34) ______ (expect) to hand in. And at the same time, reading remained as a significant problem.The information (35) ______ (gain) helped us in determining where special attention should be paid to in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation, we considered it important to note (36) ______ seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching or teacher-centered English learning in their own country. It would be self-defeating (37) ______ (use) the same method, especially if it has failed in the past or it is too complicated to follow or imitate, (38) ______ it might reduce motivation and interest. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.(39) ______ variety of activities was also regarded as a way of maintaining or increasing motivation and interest. Several years ago we had the first timetable that operated throughout the course of English learning, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about half-way through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, and we had to explore a much (40) ______ (effective) way ofEnglish learning, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. wanderedB. applicationsC. intellectualD. occurred E extraordinaryF. objectivesG. relativelyH. releaseI. threateningJ. accomplishedK. completelyJohn Nash, a Nobel Prize winner and mathematical genius whose struggle with mental illness was documented in the Oscar-winning film “A Beautiful Mind”, was killed in a car accident on Saturday. He was 86. The accident __41__ when the taxi Nash was traveling in ran into another car on the New Jersey Turnpike. Neither of the two drivers involved in the accident underwent life-__42__ injuries.At Princeton, Nash published a 27-page essay about the field of game theory, which led to __43__ in economics, international politics, and evolutionary biology. His signature solution found that competition among two opponents is not necessarily governed by zero-sum logic. Two opponents can, for instance, each achieve their maximum __44__ through cooperating with the other, or gain nothing at all by refusing to cooperate. This simple understanding is now regarded as one of the most important social science ideas in the 20th century, and a proof to his almost unique __45__ gifts.But in the late 1950s, Nash began a slide into mental illness and each therapy failed to cure him, and for much of the next three decades, Nash __46__ freely on the Princeton campus, scratching his hands on empty blackboards and staring blankly ahead in the library. Robert Wright remembers Nash as “some math genius that went crazy” who wore colorful shoes and quietly watched people. His mental illness removed him __47__ from his work. By the time Nash was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994, he hadnt published a paper in 36 years.But like a child cured of a terrible dream by the switch of a light, Nash recovered from his illness seemingly by choosing not to be sick anymore. Five years later, the __48__ of the film “A Beautiful Mind”, based on Sylvia Nasars 1998 book of the same name, expanded Nashs __49__ life story to an international audience. He continued to work, travel, and speak at conferences for the rest of his life.Its tempting to wonder what Nash might have __50__, had mental illness not robbed him of so many productive years. “Because the ideas I had about super natural beings came to me the same way that my mathematical ideas did,” said Nash. “So I took them seriously.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Why girls do better at school than boys?For centuries, boys were top of the class. But these days, thats no longer the case.A new study by the OECD, a club of mostly __51__ countries in Europe and North America, examined how 15-year-old boys and girls performed at reading, mathematics and science. Boys still get somewhat better __52__ at maths and physics, and in other science courses the genders are roughly __53__. But when it comes to the students who really struggle and suffer at school, the difference is __54__: boys are 50% more likely than girls to fall short of basic standards in all three areas.__55__, why are girls performing better at school than their male classmates?First, girls read more than boys. Reading proficiency (熟练) is the basis upon which all other learning is built. When boys dont do well in reading, their __56__ in other school subjects suffers too.Second, girls spend much more time on their homework and out-of-class learning. __57__, girls spend five and a half hours per week doing homework while boys spend a little less than four and a half hours. Researchers suggest that doing homework __58__ by teachers is linked to better accomplishment in maths, reading and science. Boys, it appears, spend more of their free time in the __59__ world; they are 17% more likely to play cooperative online games than girls every day. They also use the internet more.Third, peer __60__ plays a role. A lot of boys decide early on that they are just too cool for school. They adopt a so-called concept of masculinity (男子气概) that includes a disregard for __61__, which meanstheyre more likely to be rude and noisy in class. Teachers mark them down for this. In anonymous (匿名的) tests, boys perform better. In fact, the gender gap in reading __62__ by a third when teachers dont know the gender of the pupil they are marking.So what can be done to close this gap? Getting boys to do more homework and cut down on screen-time would help. And offering boys a __63__ to read non-fiction would help too: theyre keener on comics and newspapers. But most of all, abandoning gender stereotypes (旧模式) would __64__ all students. Thus, boys in all countries with the best schools read much better than girls. As we know, girls in Shanghai, Singapore and Seoul are good at mathematics, and they __65__ boys from anywhere else in the world.51. A. backward B. wealthy C. regular D. miserable52. A. scores B. directions C. guidance D. evaluation53. A. practical B. reliable C. relevant D. equal54. A. stable B. vague C. obvious D. logical55. A. However B. Therefore C. Similarly D. Instead56.

A. develops B. widens C. narrows D. forms63. A. chance B. task C. favour D. resource64. A. influence B. harm C. satisfy D. benefit65. A. advance B. overtake C. overcome D. challengeSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In job interviews, were often asked about our strengths and weaknesses. And, as a matter of fact, most of us know automatically how to respond.Common wisdom tells us to use faux weaknesses, which means things that are strengths described as negatives and turned into positives. You might even be able to change your weakness into a skill for a job youre not fully qualified for.In America, in a championship game you are unlikely to see athletes showing weakness. If the athletes become hurt in this game, they will hide their injuries — they dont want their competitors to know their weak spots. But there is absolutely no need for us to act like this in business affairs.At work and in business, you can have shortcomings because these can be overcome and turned into strengths. The only fatal thing is to notrealize that all your weaknesses can be made strong. Of course, to make up for shortcomings, you must first be aware of what your weaknesses really are.Have you ever wondered what has happened when you interview for a job youre fully qualified for, but it goes to someone who doesnt seem to be qualified at all? How would that person get the job when he had none of the qualifications listed in the job ad?That applicant figured out the business pain point that is seldom, if ever, mentioned in the job ad, and then how to address it. He didnt talk about how he met each of the requirements on the job ad. He had none of the qualifications. He asked questions instead. He asked probing (探询的) questions to learn more about the business pain. By doing so, this less-qualified person soon learned that the hiring managers needed something different from what was listed in the job ad.Not accepting the job ad as an unquestionable truth is the key. There is no reason to think that hiring managers actually know what they need when they write job ads. They may need someone completely different from what they describe. That is why you can get a job that youre not qualified for.66. The underlined word “faux” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “______”.A. incorrectB. illogicalC. falseD. imaginary67. What exactly does the author advise you to do when you are a weak candidate for a job?A. Dont ask questions if you think you are a weak candidate.B. Ask questions about the job until you find you have something to offer.C. Dont let your interviewer know your weaknesses but tell him your strengths.D. Ask questions according to the job description to see if you can be a qualified candidate.68. Why does the author think an applicant can get a job that hes not qualified for?A. Because hiring managers may change their mind in the job interview.B. Because hiring managers may actually need someone who can ask questions.C. Because the applicant may not know that he actually has the required qualifications.D. Because hiring managers may not know what they actually need when writing the ad.69. What is the passage mainly talking about?A. You can change you weaknesses into strengths in job interviews.B. Dont expose your weaknesses but show your strengths in job interviews.C. Find out the business pain point not mentioned in the job ad in job interviews.D. Hiring managers usually dont know what qualifications they really need.。

And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.Jaramillo's students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. "The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks," she says. "They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful." Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.Urban Sprouts' classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. "We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they're eating differently," Jaramillo says.She adds that the program's benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo's special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. "They get outside," she says, "and they feel successful."4．What do we know about Abby Jaramillo?A．She used to be a health worker.B．She grew up in a low-income family.C．She owns a fast food restaurant.D．She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.5．What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program?A．The kids' parents distrusted her.B．Students had little time for her classes.C．Some kids disliked garden work.D．There was no space for school gardens.6．Which of the following best describes the impact of the program?A．Far-reaching.B．Predictable.C．Short-lived.D．Unidentifiable.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Rescuing School Gardens B．Experiencing Country LifeC．Growing Vegetable Lovers D．Changing Local Landscape阅读理解Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object — the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists' representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.In this "book of books," artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses — absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智), wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks — transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, "off-line" activity.8．Where is the text most probably taken from?A．An introduction to a book.B．An essay on the art of writing.C．A guidebook to a museum.D．A review of modern paintings.9．What are the selected artworks about?A．Wealth and intellect.B．Home and school.C．Books and reading.D．Work and leisure.10．What do the underlined words "relate to" in paragraph 2 mean?A．Understand.B．Paint.C．Seize.D．Transform. 11．What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader?A．The printed book is not totally out of date.B．Technology has changed the way we read.C．Our lives in the 21st century are networked.D．People now rarely have the patience to read.阅读理解As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you're lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it's unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding (编码) experiences into different categories. For example, one participant's experience of "We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while" was assigned the categories "sitting at beach" and "listening to waves."Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a "nature language" began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Backdowntown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break."We're trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it," said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study.12．What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?A．Pocket parks are now popular.B．Wild nature is hard to find in cities.C．Many cities are overpopulated.D．People enjoy living close to nature.13．Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories?A．To compare different types of park-goers.B．To explain why the park attracts tourists.C．To analyze the main features of the park.D．To find patterns in the visitors' summaries.14．What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5?A．Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.B．Young people are too busy to interact with nature.C．The same nature experience takes different forms.D．The nature language enhances work performance.15．What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn?A．Language study.B．Environmental conservation.C．Public education.D．Intercultural communication.二、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2023年山西高考英语试卷及解析（图片版）
2023年山西高考英语试卷及解析（图片版）2023年山西高考英语试卷及解析（图片版）小编整理了2023年山西高考英语试卷及解析，英语它是学习最广泛的第二语言，是近60个主权国家的官方语言或官方语言之一。
下面是小编为大家整理的2023年山西高考英语试卷及解析，希望能帮助到大家!2023年山西高考英语试卷及解析高考英语阅读题解题思路1、了解文章main idea(主要意思)。
做英语阅读理解就好像做语文阅读理解时一样，要知道这篇文章的主旨或者说是中心思想，对文章所讲的主旨内容和它的中心思想做到心里有数。
达到一种高度——只要一做英语阅读理解题，脑子里就要条件反射的蹦出main idea，然后再去阅读问题和文章。
2、先看问题，再粗读文章。
带着寻找main idea的思想，先去看一遍问题，把问题中的关键词圈出来，然后再去粗略的读一遍文章。
在读的时候，不用做到每个单词都看懂，每句话都能翻译出来。
只要对文章大致上有一个了解就够了，这样文章的main idea也就出来了。
要注意的是，在读到觉得跟所问问题有关联的句子的时候，可以先用笔把句子勾出来，在上边标记上有关联的问题的题号，然后接着往下读。
3、精读问题和所标记的句子。
读完通篇的同时，也把跟问题有关的的句子画出来了，这个时候再去精读标记的句子，仔细研究问题和跟问题有关的句子，琢磨其意思，尽量做到胸有成竹，然后再回答每一个问题。
4、静下心来做题，合理安排时间。
初中阅读理解所问的问题一般跟文章中的原话相差无几，有时候会同义词转换一下，或者因果颠倒。
只要打好基础，认得一篇文章中百分之七十到八十的英语单词，基本上就能做对题。
在做题的时候，合理分配做题时间，一篇阅读理解最多不能超过二十分钟。
高考英语短文改错题怎么答1、考生必须熟悉设错方式：多词、少词、错词。
⑴多词现象大多出现在冠词、介词、助动词、连词、语义重复及行文逻辑等方面。
⑵少词现象主要出现在冠词、介词、副词、助动词、不定式符号to、连词等。

When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness.Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon)filled the weekend, but the best part- particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold- weatherroot vegetables- was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m,rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, softand round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened( 蔓上成熟的 ) promise, I ’ verefused to buywinter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them homethey ’ unfailinglyre d ry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particulartable at the Brown’ s Grove Farm’ s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was goingto be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn be experiencing’t again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned thatBrown ’ sGrove Farm is one of the suppliers for Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where- luckily for me- I Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the was planning to have dinner that very night.Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’ d be ordering every tomato on it.24.
