AAmericans are pound of their variety- and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform. whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity (身份) than to step out of uniform ?Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax- deductible ( 可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.26 It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality ___________.A. still judge a man by his clothesB. hold the uniform in such high regardC. enjoy having a professional identityD. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform27. People are accustomed to thinking that a man in uniform ____________.A. suggests quality workB. discards his social identityC. appears to be more practicalD. looks superior to a person in civilian clothes28. The chief function of a uniform is to ___________.A. provide practical benefits to the wearerB. make the wearer catch the public eyeC. inspire the wearer's confidence in himselfD. provide the wearer with a professional identity29. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms _____________.A. are usually helpfulB. have little or no individual freedomC. tend to lose their individualityD. enjoy greater popularity30. The best title for this passage would be ____________.A. Uniforms and SocietyB. The Importance of Wearing a UniformC. Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD. Advantages and Disadvantages of UniformsBOne summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know, you would be submerged (淹没) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive. We look forward to going there again! Of course, we spent lots of time arranging the trip, but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa, but everything went quite smoothly in the end.The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. In the Italian consulate(领事馆), one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a hotel about thirty km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome. Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest, was a rare girl for the fresh air and absolute silence, beautiful views, hospitable (好客的) hosts, comfortable living conditions delighted us to no end. Besides this, we were very lucky that our mistress was Russian. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It’s not difficult! The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times. So, if you're also planning a "single" trip, don't forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue.31. Why does the author want to go to Italy again?A. He had a great time there.B. Italy has a lot of attractions.C. His friend invited him there.D. He didn't stay in Italy long enough.32. What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip?A. Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before the travelingB. Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate.C. Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome.D. Solving the ticket problem far in advance.33. In the fourth paragraph the author mainly explainsA. the reason why he chose to live in the center of RomeB. the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choiceC. what transport they chose to travel in their Italian tripD. the reason why the mistress gave them some advice34. Which of the following questions has NOT been answered in the passage?A. Why did the author decide to go to Italy for a holiday for the first time?B. Why did the author decide not to follow a travel agency?C. How did the author prepare for his trip?D. What tools did the author use for his traveling?35. From the text we can know the authorA. enjoys traveling everywhere in the worldB. likes being accompanied by tour guidesC. advises us to arrange trips by ourselvesD. met with a lot of his countrymen in ItalyCDriving to a friend's house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftops. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people? Myself included? Usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibre-glass. We have televisions, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought: before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.36.The best title for the passage would be______.A. Touched by the moonB. The pleasures of modern lifeC. A bottomless well of silenceD. Break away from modern life37. The writer felt sorry for himself because________.A. there was too many pollutionB. he failed to see the fullest moonC. he didn’t adapt t o modern inventionsD. there were too accidents on the road38. What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?A. No modern equipmentB. Complete silence.C. The nice moonlightD. The high mountains39. Modern things (Paragraph 4) are mentioned mainly to______.A. show that the writer likes city life very muchB. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern lifeC. explain that people have less chances to enjoy natureD. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them40. The author wrote the passage to_______.A. express the feeling of returning to natureB. show the love for the moonlightC. advise modern people to learn to liveD. want to communicate longing for modern lifeDI want to talk about a soldier. I saw him yesterday as my husband and I were enjoying a wonderful lunch in the cave-like dining room of an old hotel.It is hard to imagine being comfortable in a room that probably seats a thousand, but the real magic of the place is its wonderful setting. Every comer is a wood and stone masterpiece, with high glass windows that look out to the huge cliffs (悬崖) of the valley.A man entered with his family and took a seat. He wasn't in uniform, but he walked with the dignity of a soldier, and a slight limp (瘸). My suspicion was confirmed when he removed his hat and placed it on the table where I could see it. Embroidered (绣) on the cap were the words: "Iwo Jima Survivor".As they were waiting for lunch, the others talking happily, this gentleman was stating out of the window. He was content to be left out of the conversation and allowed to take in the wonderful and impressive view of the waterfall.I watched him, and imagined how much horror he had seen in the war. What losses did he suffer, and how many friends did he lose? What he had witnessed should have given him a good reason to lose faith in the world. Yet this tired soldier was smiling at the sky, at the sun and the roaring of the waterfall. Somehow, after everything, the world was still beautiful to him.I walked over to him and said, "Excuse me, sir. I'm sorry to interrupt, but I saw your hat, and I just wanted to say thank you for serving."He looked up at me, surprised, and said proudly, "You're welcome, and thank you, too."I told him I would go home and tell my children about this experience that I'd met him.41. The place where the author enjoyed lunch was __A. only open to people of the upper classesB. once visited by many famous peopleC. attractive because of its beautiful surroundingsD. modeled on scenes from American history42. What confirmed the author’s suspicion that the man was a soldier?A. The words on his cap.B. The way he sat.C. His disability.D. The way he walked.43. What do we learn from the passage?A. The author at first thought the gentleman was famous.B. The gentleman stood out because of his uniform.C. The gentleman’s family didn’t like to talk with him.D. The gentleman wasn’t expecting the author to thank him.44. What encouraged the author to talk to the soldier?A. His disability.B. His loneliness.C. His contribution to his country.D. His bravery to fight in the war.45. What is the author’s attitude towards the soldier?A. Admiring.B. Satisfied.C. Sympathetic.D. Doubtful.26-30 BADCD 31-35 ABBAC 36—40 ABCCA 41—45 CADCAA篇答案：文章第一段提出制服在美国受欢迎的现象，第二段说了一个主要论点——制服的好处，第三段说的是实际好处，第四段说的是反对的论点——制服的缺点，第五段说的是实际问题：26．答案是B．第一段第一句yet转折后面就是答案：Hold．．．in regard和respect是同义转换：27．答案是A 答案对应在第二段，People ．．．expect superior quality．．.。

Dear Jack,_______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________Yours sincerely,Li HuaAs the mother of an eleven-year-old girl, I have read several books that tell parents how to bring up a girl to be beautiful, elegant, confident, and rich. However, I have always believed that girls need to be brave above all else, but this is easier said than done.I still remember I couldn’t see the screen directly when my daughter switched to the animal channel, which was broadcasting a show about snakes. I stood as far away from the TV as possible,too scared to open my eyes. However, my little angel was not scared of the snakes. In fact, she watched the show with a keen interest. I was relieved that my daughter didn’t get too many genetic phobias(遗传恐惧症). Even to this day, she is still obsessed with challenging herself with new things.This year, I got a chance to study in Singapore for six months. After the novelty of the first few days had gone, I found myself missing my family. With the summer vacation approaching, my husband agreed to make good use of the fact that I was staying in Singapore. He brought ourdaughter out to visit me and to enjoy the new experience in a new country.The reunion day finally came. My husband and my daughter arrived in the second week of July. I was so looking forward to seeing them. I had made many preparations for their visit. On the first day, I arranged for us to see Gardens by the Bay. When we walked out of the MRT station, we were amazed by the sight of the Super Trees. When my daughter saw lots of people walking on the Skyway, she couldn’t help shouting excitedly that she wanted to have a try. The Skyway is a 22-meter-high suspension bridge from which you can enjoy a birds eye view. Last time I came here with my friends, I firmly rejected their repeated attempts to challenge me to go up there. It was like the day with the snakes all over again. But could I really reject my little angel? Paragraph 1:My daughter was waiting for my reply.Paragraph 2:Halfway across the bridge, I had to stop.参考范文：Dear Jack，Since you have told me that you were so keen on the knowledge of first aid, I am writing this letter with the intention of inviting you to attend a training course related to first aid, which is arranged and organized by the Red Cross of our city.(写信目的和告知基本的内容) The course, lasting two weeks, is due/scheduled to be given in our school hall next week. In terms of its objective, it is aimed at helping students raise the awareness of the significance of mastering the knowledge of first aid, with which they are capable of rescuing injured persons before a doctor is called in. As for the course itself, participants will be drilled to learn how to perform CPR, mouth-to-mouth rescue and whatnot. On the basis of this fact, numerous students have signed up for it.(课程的具体信息)I do hope you will show up together with me in a bid to learn a lot from the course.（表达邀请和期望）Para 1: My daughter was waiting for my reply. I was secretly very anxious.(A sense of anxiety overwhelmed me/ A wave of fright crept into my mind.) while my daughter kept begging me to give it a shot. Seeing her longing eyes，I could not bear to reject her since bravery was the most significant quality that I hoped she would possess. Her curiosity was so strong that I couldn’t resist. I nodded slightly, forcing a smile, and my daughter’s frowning face broke into a smile. My response greatly shocked my husband, who reacted with the wildest excitement when we walked towards the Skyway. Stepping on it, I found myself terrified of the height. With my legs trembling/shivering, I grabbed the railing firmly, almost unable to move.Para 2: Halfway across the bridge, I had to stop. With my heart pounding wildly / With my blood pulsing through the veins, I cast scared glances at the bridge. My husband and daughter held my quivering hands tightly. I swayed as if I had been extraordinarily drunk. But their firm gaze built up my confidence as we kept inching along the suspension bridge together. “ Mom, look, no words can well describe the incredible beauty,” my daughter screamed at the top of her lungs. What I saw there filled my soul with joy. The bay spread out far below me. Beyond it stood the towering and striking skyscrapers. I looked down at my little girl who taught me how to be bold, letting out a sigh of relief since I made it to the Skyway, safe and sound.第二套假定你是李华，你观察到同学们英语写作中存在的问题。

高中英语阅读之课堂限时训练
刍议高中英语阅读之课堂限时训练高中英语阅读教学的目的是培养阅读策略，培养语感；特别强调培养学生在阅读过程中获取和处理信息的能力。
所以，阅读既是学习的手段，又是学习的目的。
我们要充分认识阅读教学的目标、要求，抓紧抓牢高中英语阅读能力培养的主阵地，依托备课组集体的力量，共同实现学生英语阅读理解能力的提高。
一、充分认识高中英语阅读教学的目标《教学大纲》明确规定了高中英语教学应该“侧重培养阅读能力”的教学目的，努力提高学生的阅读水平，同时，《中学英语课程标准》也提出了“高中三年的课外阅读量达到30—36万字以上”的要求。
经过高中三年的学习，学生要能读懂书、报、杂志中关于一般性话题的简短文段以及公告、说明、广告等，并能从中获取相关信息。
具体的阅读能力要求包括了：理解主旨和要义；理解文中具体信息；根据上下文推断生词的词义；做出判断和推理；理解文章的基本结构；理解作者的意图、观点和态度等。
而这六种甚至六种以上的具体阅读能力的达成，需要我们教师在三年的教学实践中应该做到“长计划，短安排”，把突破阅读作为一个三年期的系统工程来逐步完成。
二、抓紧抓牢高中英语阅读能力培养的主阵地在高中英语学习过程中，语言点、知识点、语法点等确实占有不容忽视的一席之地，但只懂得这些基础知识就好比要建起一幢高楼大厦，你只是把该有的钢筋、水泥、砖头等最基本的建筑材料找齐了，离建起大厦的那一天还远着呢。
我们差的是砌起来的过程——也就是把零散的知识运用到阅读这个语言实践中的过程。
英语阅读能力的培养提高既需要指导学生有效进行课外阅读，也离不开课堂上的限时训练和对各种体裁文章方法策略的指导。
因此，课堂四十五分钟：该被“周”计划，做到阅读训练与基础知识两不误，让学生明白提高学生英语阅读理解能力，搞好高中英语阅读教学让学生们明确除了完成教科书的学习任务之外，课堂十分钟是英语阅读能力培养的主阵地，定期的阅读训练是必不可少的。
针对目前英语教学时间紧，任务重的现状，高一时，我们可以每周进行两次的课堂限时训练，每次一篇，依据材料的难度规定学生在一定时间内完成，接着进行有针对性的讲评。
高中英语阅读理解专项自测及解析一
高中英语阅读理解定时训练一（满分50，每小题2.5分，限时45分钟）阅读理解第一节ADear Alfred,I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.(1)While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, (2)without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.(2)Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.This is why you’re saving my life.Yours,Tanis1. Why didn’t Tanis go to college after high school?A. She had learned enough about computer science.B. She had more difficulty keeping focused.C. She preferred taking online courses.D. She was too slow to learn.2. As for the working environment, Tains prefers_________.A. working by herselfB. dealing with the publicC. competing against othersD. staying with ADHD students3. Tanis wrote this letter in order to___________.A. explain why she was interested in the computerB. share the ideas she had for her professionC. show how grateful she was to the centerD. describe the courses she had taken so farB(5)It’s surprising how much simple movements of the body can affect the way we think. Using expansive gestures with open arms makes us feel more powerful, crossing your arms makes you more determined and lying down can bring more insights(领悟).So if moving the body can have these effects, what about the clothes we wear? We’re all well aware of how dressing up in different ways can make us feel more attractive, sporty or professional, depending on the clothes we wear, but can the clothes actually change cognitive (认知的) performance or is it just a feeling?(6)Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on people’s powers of attention. The idea is that white coats are associated with scientists, who are in turn thought to have close attention to detail.What they found was that people wearing white coats performed better than those who weren’t. Indeed, they made only half as many errors as those wearing their own clothes on the Stroop Test( one way of measuring attention). The researchers call the effect “enclothed cognition,” (4)suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably affect our cognition in many different ways.This opens the way for all sorts of clothes-based experiments. Is the writer who wears a fedora more creative? Is the psychologist wearing little round glasses and smoking a cigar more insightful?

The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things likethe force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. (9)These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.(11)In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates.

They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 16The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.17 so they are called “diseases of civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 18 However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic (驯养的) ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. 19 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.20 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.A. Stone Age people lived a simple life.B. But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.C. In that case, they would live much healthier.D. Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.E. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.F. People today probably don’t want to live like our ancestors.G. Modern people used to suffer from “diseases of civilization”答案：1.

CEDBF阅读专练一文章要点及题眼ADear Alfred,I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.(1)While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t.So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, (2)without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job —Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.(2)Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.This is why you’re saving my life.Yours,Tanis1. Why didn’t Tanis go to college after high school?A. She had learned enough about computer science.B. She had more difficulty keeping focused.C. She preferred taking online courses.D. She was too slow to learn.2.

Tanis wrote this letter in order to___________.A. explain why she was interested in the computerB. share the ideas she had for her professionC. show how grateful she was to the centerD. describe the courses she had taken so farB(5)It’s surprising how much simple movements of the body can affect the way we think.

高三英语二轮复习阅读理解限时强化练习25(含答案版)
新高考高中阅读强化限时训练25阅读理解+七选五（含参考答案）限时：35分钟满分：50分阅读（共两节，满分50 分）第一节（共15 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分37.5 分）AThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings changes. The languages of the world’s main culture are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures. Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing? The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever. The future of the world’s language depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allow them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.( ) 1. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _______languages in the world.A. 4,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. no more than20( ) 2. In “the languages of the world’s main culture s are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.” the verb “replace” means “_______”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to use a second thing in place of the first thingC. to find good place for somethingD. to decide how important something is( ) 3. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major world language, _______.A. radio and television would all use the languageB. it would be easier for them to share their ideasC. lesson s at schools would be taught in the languageD. people would respect their own culture more参考答案：CBBBHave you wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls are very fond of locusts (飞蝗), but birds can’t easily catch locusts because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colour of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of colouring is to protect them. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the colour much like the barks of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is over, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.( ) 4. Locusts are pests but they aren’t easily wiped out by their enemies because _______.A. they are powerful enoughB. they are dangerous to their enemiesC. they take on the same colours as cropsD. they fly very fast( ) 5. The pests that have different colours from plants usually appear at night because _______.A. their enemies can easily find them and eat themB. they have the habit of coming out in darknessC. it’s easy for them to destroy plants in darknessD. birds take their rests when night comes( ) 6. What does the underlined word “invisible” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Can’t be seen.B. Can be seen.C. Can’t move.D. Can’t change.( ) 7. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of years because_______.A. it is the most powerful in the seaB. no other fishes can swim as fast as it canC. it can send out a kind of liquid which makes its enemies unable to find itD. the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies参考答案：CAACCCaptain James Cook was a great explorer. Before he started exploring, maps of the Pacific Ocean were almost empty. He visited hundreds of islands across the Pacific Ocean and put them in the correct places on the map. He made maps of the coastlines of Australia and New Zealand. James Cook was born in England in 1728. His parents were poor farm workers. When James was 18, he found a job on a coastal ship. He worked on the ship until he was 27 years old, and then he joined the navy. He fought in Canada in a war against France, and he mapped some of the eastern coasts of Canada. In 1768 King George made him Captain of a ship and sent him to the Pacific. He was gone for nearly three years. When he returned, he was regarded as a national hero.He started his third voyage in 1776. On this trip he visited Hawaii. He was the first European to set foot on this beautiful island. Then he mapped the western coastof North America. After that he returned to Hawaii. Unfortunately there was some trouble between the Hawaiians and the white men and they started fighting. In the end Captain was killed in a clash with the local.( ) 8. In which order did James Cook do the following things?a. Fought against France.b. Made maps of some of the eastern coast of Canada.c. Mapped the coast lines of Australia and New Zealand.d. Mapped the coast of North America.e. Was made Captain of a ship.f. Work on a coastal ship.A. f a b e d cB. f a b d e cC. f a b e c dD. a b e c f d( ) 9. He started exploring when _______.A. he worked on a coastal shipB. he was 18 years oldC. he was sent to the PacificD. he served in the navy( ) 10. Which of the following is NOT true?A. He made the first maps of the Pacific Ocean.B. He went on three long important voyages in his life.C. He was the first English man to reach Hawaii.D. He was respected by his people.( ) 11. He was considered a national hero because of _______.A. his experience in CanadaB. his being the first European to visit HawaiiC. his heroic deathD. his devotion to exploration on the Pacific Ocean参考答案：CDADDWhen you search Google or use Amazon, you might assume the results you see are the same as those viewed by your friends, family and other Internet users. But you’d be wrong. Websites and social networks track your location and search history and make assumptions about your age, race, sex and political views. They then show ads they believe to be the most relevant, in order to maximize clicks, but personalizewhich results you see by eliminating what they think is irrelevant.This is sold to the public as positive, making each web session relevant and interesting, yet it is leading researchers to fear this could widen divides between the North and South, rich and poor, and young and old. For example, in terms of wealth, if users are only ever shown particular products and job advertisements based on how much they earn or where they live, these users will never be given the opportunities to increase their wealth, or how much they spend on items.Princeton University has created bots（自动程序）, each with their own fake profiles. These bots have different fake ages and sexes, earn different levels of money, are virtually(虚拟地) based in various locations around the world and have different interests. By using these bots to scan and research the web, the researchers hope to create a picture of not only what each of them sees, but also what sites they are missing out on.According to lead researcher, Arvind Narayanan, “Our goal is a web privacy census（普查）which will be a comprehensive map of who are collecting what information, what they are inferring from it, and who they are sharing it with. It is an important step in our final goal of figuring out how users are treated based on that information.”Personalization also has its benefits. Shopping sites such as Amazon and eBay can scan a user’s search and purchase history to offer suggestions. This can help find similar, cheaper items or items that are more suited to their needs at a glance. It’s also possible to disable personalized ads and results. Google’s search engine lets you switch off personalization, for example.Researchers from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona and Yahoo felt the issue was so potentially damaging, and they have also created a way to “burst the filter(过滤) bubble”. They believe that just because people have opposing views on certain topics it doesn’t mean they won’t share interests with others.( ) 12. The underlined word “eliminating” in Paragraph 1 probably means“_______”.A. decoratingB. removingC. personalizingD. protecting( ) 13. Princeton University created bots to ______.A. explain why different websites are personalizedB. offer users some advice on how to protect privacyC. assess how personalization is affecting Internet usersD. stress the advantages and disadvantages of personalization of websites( ) 14. Which of the following websites have done something to cut off personalization?A. Google and YahooB. eBay and GoogleC. Amazon and eBayD. Amazon and Yahoo( ) 15. What is this passage mainly about?A. Different websites are doing something to offer quality service.B. Personalized ads and search results could be creating different web pages.C. Personalization of different sites will lead to users’ privacy being violated.D. Personalization of shopping sites makes online shopping more convenient.参考答案：BCAB第二节（共5 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分）What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? 16 We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. 17 Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. 18 If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.19 According to some psychologists, if parents are always tellinga child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or“20 ”A. A healthy body contributes to one's intelligence.B. Parents should also be careful about what they say to young children.C. What people want to express is like this.D. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.E. It needs exercise.F. You are such a smart child.G. These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.参考答案：GEDBF。

高中英语真题:专题限时训练(二十八) [故事型阅读理解](限时：25分钟)(一)With the tears streaming down her face, she put her two hands to her lips, and kissed them to him; then clasped(紧握) them on her breast，as if she laid his ruined head there.“You are not the jailer's daughter？”She sighed, “No.”“Who are you？”Not yet trusting the tones of her voice, she sat down on the ben ch beside him.He drew back but she laid her hand upon his arm .A strange thrill struck him when she did so, and visibly passed over his frame; he laid the knife down softly，as he sat staring at her.Her golden hair，which she wore in long curls，had been hurriedly pushed aside，and fell down over her neck.Advancing his hand by little and littl e，he took it up and looked at it.In the middle of the action he wentastray，and，with another deep sigh，fell to work at his shoemaking.But not for long.Releasing his arm，she laid her hand upon his shoulder.After looking doubtfully at it ，two or three times，as if to be sure that it was really there，he laid down his work，put his hand to his neck，and took off a blackened string with a scrap of folded rag attach ed to it.He opened this，carefully，on his knee，and it contained a very little quantity of hair：not more than one or two long golden hairs，which he had，in some old day，wound on upon his finger.He took her hair into his hand again，and looked closely at it.“It is the same.How can it be! When was it!

He played six pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on th eir way to work.Three minutes went by, and a middleaged man noticed there w as musician playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the money box without stopping, and contin ued to walk.A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen t o him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.The one who paid the most attention was a 3yearold boy. His m other tagged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at t he violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child conti nued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repe ated by several other children. All the parents, without exceptio n, forced them to move on.In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped a nd stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected 32$. When he finished p laying and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applaud ed, nor was there any recognition.No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 3.5 milli on dollars.Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold ou t at a theatre in where the seats averaged 100$.This is a real story. Joshua Bell's playing in the metro station w as organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experi ment.The outlines were in a common environment at an inappropriat e hour. Do we enjoy beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected situation?One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?6．Few people stopped to listen to Joshua Bell playing becaus e________.A．people were in a hurryB．they were not interested in musicC．it was too cold in the subwayD．the performance was not good enough7．When children stopped to look at the violinist, their parents _ _______.A．would give him some moneyB．would stop to enjoy the musicC．would applaud for the performanceD．would urge them to continue walking8．Joshua Bell played in the metro station in order to ________.

H e wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help m e for the rest of my life.Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his wor ds have lived in my heart. One part always stands out.“Right no w, you are pretending to be a time killer. But I know that one da y, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.”Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself.“You will do something great.”He didn't kno w what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life w hen I've felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask，“Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going ？”A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I've come to believe h e'd want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of and believe in somebody else. It's time to start writing my own letter s to my children. Our children look to us with the same unansw ered question we had. Our kids don't hold back because they're afraid to fail. They're only afraid of failing us. They don't worry about being disappointed. Their fear—as mine was until my father's letter—is of being a disappointment.Give your children permission to succeed. They're waiting for y ou to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But t rust me. That belief will be more complete, that love will be mor e real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write t he words on their hearts，“Don't worry; you'll do something g reat.”Not having that blessin g from their parents may be the only thing holding them back. 10．We learn from the text that the author________.A．lost his father when he was youngB．worked hard before he read his father's letterC．asked his father permission to believe in himselfD．knew exactly what great thing his father wanted him to do 11．What does the author tell us in the 3rd paragraph?A．Children need their parents' letters.B．Children are afraid to be disappointed.C．His children's fear of failure held them back.D．His father's letter removed his fear of failing his parents. 12．Which of the following is TRUE of the author?A．He got no access to success.B．He wrote back to his father at 12.C．He was sure his parents loved him.D．He once asked his father about the letter.13．The main purpose of the text is to ________.A．describe children's thinkingB．answer some questions children haveC．stress the importance of communicationD．advise parents to encourage their children专题限时训练(二十八) [故事型阅读理解](限时：25分钟)(一)With the tears streaming down her face, she put her two hands to her lips, and kissed them to hi m; then clasped(紧握) them on her breast，as if she laid his ruined head there.“You are not the jailer's daughter？”She sighed, “No.”“Who are you？”Not yet trusting the tones of her voice, she sat down on the bench beside him.He drew back but she laid her hand upon his arm.A strange thrill struck him when she did so, and visibly passed over his frame; he laid the knife down softly，as he sat staring at her.Her golden hair，which she wore in long curls，had been hurriedly pushed aside，and fell down over her neck.Advancing his hand by little and little，he took it up and looked at it.In the middle of the action he went astray，and，with another deep sigh，fell to work at his shoemaking.But not for long.Releasing his arm，she laid her hand upon his shoulder.After looking doubtfully at it，two or three times，as if to be sure that it was really there，he laid down his work，put his hand to his neck，and took off a blackened string with a scrap of folded rag attached to it.He opened this，carefully，on his knee，and it contained a very little quantity of hair：not more than one or two long golden hairs，which he had，in some old day，wound on upon his finger.He took her hair into his hand again，and looked closely at it.“It is the same.How can it be! When was it! How was it！”As the concentrating expression returned to his forehead，he seemed to become conscious that it was in hers too.He turned her full to the light，and looked at her.“She had laid her head upon my shoulder，that night when I was summoned(传唤)out—she had a fear of my going，though I had none—and when I was brought to the North Tower they found these upon my sleeve.‘You will leave me them?

高中英语真题：限时训练——阅读理解之议论文
限时训练——阅读理解之议论文1. 【·湖北卷】Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a tempt ation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character,and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation. Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The So cial Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topi cs. The book focuses on big questions: What has science rev ealed about human nature? What are the sources of characte r? And why are some people happy and successful while othe rs aren’t?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of d isciplines（学科）. Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scie ntific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make hi s points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention.So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live throu gh childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of hi s characters.On the whole,Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As on e would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, som e chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, th e chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attemp t to translate his tale into science.1.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginni ng of the passage to__________.A. illustrate where science can be appliedB. demonstrate the value of Brooks’s new bookC. remind the reader of the importance of scienceD. explain why many writers use science in their works2.According to the author, which of the following could be a st rength of the book?A. Its strong basis.B. Its convincing points.C. Its clear writing.D. Its memorable characters.3.What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?A. Contradictory.B. Supportive.C . Cautious.D. Critical.4.What is the author likely to write about after the last paragra ph?A. Problems with the book.B. Brooks’s life experience.C. Death of the characters.D. Brooks’s translation skills.2. 【·陕西】Parents who help their children with homework may actually b e bringing down their school grades. Other forms of prenatal involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent stu dy on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools except them to act as partners in their child ren's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn. Kaith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways pa rents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to decl ines in their academic performance. One of the things that wa s consistently negative was parents' help with homework." Ro binson suggested that may be because parents themselves st ruggle to understand the task." They may either not remembe r the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases ne ver learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do wa s to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20 % of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative a nd the rest statistically insignificant.Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents toget involved because "children with good academic success do have involved parents ", admitted Robinson. But he argue d that this did not prove parental involvement was the root ca use of that success." A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hard ly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveyin g to their children how success at school could improve their li ves."1. The underlined expression "parental involvement " in Parag raph 1 probably means .A. parents' expectation on children's healthB. parents' participation in children's educationC. parents' control over children's lifeD. parents' plan for children's future2. What is the major finding of Robinson's study ?A. Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.B. Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.C. Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.D. Parents are not able to help with children’s homework.3. The example of Asian-American parents implies that parents should .A. help children realize the importance of schoolingB. set a specific life goal for their childrenC. spend more time improving their own livesD. take a more active part in school management3. 【·四川】Across , burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this mo rning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their super market bunches of flowers, But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as＄172,000 a year.The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well a s the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This wo uld make their yearly income ￡30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns.By analysing the numbers, it found the average mother wor ks 119 hours a week,40 of which would usually be paid at a st andard rate and 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,00 0 mothers with children under 18,it found that ,on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm.To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that la bour, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at ￡48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most p rofitable of the “mum jobs”,with psychologist（心理学家）a close second.It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional（情感的） demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and arou nd half said they missed going out with friends.The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional ,physical and mental energy mot hers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happine ss. Investing（投入）in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well s pent.1.How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Pri me Minister?A.￡30,000.B.￡142,000.C.￡172,000.D.￡202,000.2.The biggest challenge for most mothers is from.A. emotional demandB. low pay for workC. heavy workloadD. lack of training3.What is stressed in the last paragraph?A.

He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid. Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen shor t in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It w as usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again. Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgme nt, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they ar e more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he w eighed much less than the average player. “In one game I sud denly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothin g but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet（子弹）— and stopped him cold.”Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Su rely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarant ee of success. But the person who tries to do something and f ails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing a nd succeeds.So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreame d.1. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A. He faced huge risks.B. He lacked mighty forces.C. Fear prevented him from trying.D. Failure blocked his way to success.2.What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?A. Swallow more than you can digest.B. Act slightly above your abilities.C. Develop more mysterious powers.D. Learn to make creative decisions.3. What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game?A. His physical strength.B. His basic skill.C. His real fear.D. His spiritual force.4. What can be learned from Paragraph 5?A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.B. Trying without success is meaningless.C. Repeated failure creates a better life.D. Boldness can be gained little by little.55. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To encourage people to be courageous.B. To advise people to build up physical power.C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.限时训练——阅读理解之议论文1. 【·湖北卷】Science has a lot of uses.

He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold a nd brave — and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom bec ause I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circu mstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysteriou s about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgm ent, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he wei ghed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so fri ghtened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet（子弹）— and stopped him cold.”Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in a dults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing a nd succeeds.So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.1. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A. He faced huge risks.B. He lacked mighty forces.C. Fear prevented him from trying.D. Failure blocked his way to success.2.What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?A. Swallow more than you can digest.B. Act slightly above your abilities.C. Develop more mysterious powers.D. Learn to make creative decisions.3. What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game?A. His physical strength.B. His basic skill.C. His real fear.D. His spiritual force.4. What can be learned from Paragraph 5?A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.B. Trying without success is meaningless.C. Repeated failure creates a better life.D. Boldness can be gained little by little.55. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To encourage people to be courageous.B. To advise people to build up physical power.C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.。

高中高考英语时文阅读限时训练四篇
时文阅读限时训练四篇AOn Sept. 12, 2023, Apple made an announcement. It said it will use the USB-C connector for all its new iPhone 15 models. This is a big deal. It means that all new iPhones will have the same connector. USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. The C refers to the third type. It follows types A and B.The USB Implementers Forum is made up of over 1,000 companies. They promote and support USB technology. The group developed the USB-C connector. It replaces the older USB connectors. It also replaces other types of ports. These include HDMI, DisplayPort and VGA. The aim is to create a single, universal connector for a wide range of devices.The key features and benefits of USB-C include a reversible connector. You can insert it in either orientation. It also allows some cables to have the same connector on both ends for connecting between devices and connecting devices to chargers, unlike most earlier USB and Lightning cables.USB-C's widespread adoption in the electronics industry is likely to lead to a universal standard. This reduces the need for multiple types of cables and adapters. Also, its slim and compact shape allows manufacturers to make thinner and lighter devices.Connectors use a variety of data transfer protocols. These are sets of rules for formatting and handling data. The latest USB protocol is version 4. It provides a data transfer rate of up to 40 gigabits per second. This depends on the rating of the cable. The latest Thunderbolt, also on version 4, supports up to 40 gigabits-persecond data transfer and 100 watts charging.Why USB-C mattersDue to the fragmented nature of technology evolution, computer users a decade ago were struggling. They had too many connectors: USB for data; power cables for charging; HDMI or DisplayPort or VGA for video; and Ethernet for internet. This called for an industrywide effort to convergence on an all-purpose connector. Since itsintroduction in 2014, USB-C has gained widespread popularity. It has already become the connector of choice for most non-Apple devices. Apple converted the iPad Pro to USB-C in 2018. Now, it is doing the same for the best selling Apple device, the iPhone. Some market forecasts suggest there will be close to 4 billion USB-C connector sales by 2025 and 19 billion by 2033.1. Which organization developed the USB-C connector?A. The European Union.B. The USB Implementers Forum.C. Apple Inc.D. The USB Consortium.2. What was the goal of developing the USB-C connector by the USB Implementers Forum?A. To replace all USB connectors with USB-C.B. To promote Thunderbolt technology exclusively.C. To create a universal connector for various devices.D. To develop a connector for Apple devices.3. What is the key feature of USB-C mentioned in the text?A. It requires adapters for most devices.B. It is larger and heavier than previous connectors.C. It has a reversible connector.D. It supports only Apple devices.4. When was USB-C introduced to the market?A. 2014.B. 2023.C. 2033.D. 2018.5. According to market forecasts, how many USB-C connector sales are expected by 2033?A. 1 billion.B. 19 billion.C. 4 billion.D. 10 billion.答案: 1. B, 2. C, 3. C, 4. A, 5. BBHangzhou dishes are one of the eight great cuisines of China. They are noted for their seasonal ingredients, elaborate preparation, sophisticated cooking techniques, and refreshing taste. A trip to Hangzhou isn't complete without trying some of its speciality dishes. Here are a few must-try meals. Each of them has an age old story.Dongpo Pork (red-braised pork belly)The dish was named after a Song Dynasty (960-1279) poet and official, Su Dongpo. When Su was banished to Hangzhou, he initiated a thorough dredging of West Lake. This had great benefits for the locals. To express their gratitude, they gifted Su a lot of pork. Su added his own twist to the traditional cooking process of braised pork belly. He added yellow wine and stewed it on low heat. He distributed the dish to those who worked on the project. It became widely favored.West Lake Carp in Vinegar GravyLegend has it that two brothers surnamed Song lived in Hangzhou. The elder brother was murdered by a local villain. In desperation and fear for his safety, the younger brother was forced into exile. During his farewell dinner, his recently widowed sister-in-law cooked a dish. It was both sweet and sour. She was implying that the young Song should "not forget the salt amid the sweet". The younger brother later returned as a high ranking official, avenged his brother's murder, and sought out his sister. The dish has been handed down from generation to generation.Sister Song's Fish SoupDuring the Song Dynasty, a woman nicknamed Sister Song settled down alongside West Lake. She made a living selling fish soup. On a trip to West Lake, Emperor Gaozong tasted her fish soup and spoke very highly of it. The soup's reputation spread far and wide, and it became a calling card for the city.Sauteed Shrimps with Longjing TeaThe story of this dish relates to Emperor Qianlong. He ruled from 1644-1911. On an excursion to Hangzhou, one of his chefs accidentally dropped Longjing tea leaves into the sauteed shrimp. The lingering fragrance of the tea combined with the divine texture of the shrimp won him over. A classic Hangzhou dish was born.1. Which dish is named after the Song Dynasty poet and official Su Dongpo?A. Sauteed Shrimps with Longjing Tea.B. Dongpo Pork.C. West Lake Carp in Vinegar Gravy.D. Sister Song's Fish Soup.2. What story is associated with the dish "West Lake Carp in Vinegar Gravy"?A. It was named after a famous fisherman in Hangzhou.B. The younger brother, forced into exile, received a farewell dinner from his sister-in-law with a sweet and sour dish.C. It was a favorite dish of the Emperor Qianlong.D. It was invented by a local villain.3. How did "Sauteed Shrimps with Longjing Tea" come into existence?A. It was created by a famous tea merchant in Hangzhou.B. A chef accidentally dropped Longjing tea leaves into sauteed shrimp during Emperor Qianlong's excursion.C. The dish was inspired by a poem about tea.D. It was a traditional dish that dates back to the Song Dynasty.4. What common theme runs through the stories behind these Hangzhou dishes?A. Hangzhou dishes are known for their spicy flavors.B. Each dish has an age-old story or legend associated with its creation or popularity.C. All the dishes were named after famous historical figures.D. The dishes are all vegetarian.5. What does the word "excursion" mean in the sentence "On an excursion to Hangzhou, one of theemperor's chefs accidentally dropped Longjing tea leaves into the sauteed shrimp."?A. Experience.B. Talk.C. Trip.D. Boat.答案: 1. B, 2. B, 3. B, 4. B, 5. CCSome of the oldest known poems do not have a named author. Researchers believe this might be because early poems were sung and passed on through the sharing of stories. They were sometimes chanted or even used as prayers. Caedmon's Hymn is often considered the oldest surviving English poem. It was written in the late 7th century – more than 1,300 years ago. The first word is "nu" – which means "now". It instantly grabs the reader's attention.Fast-forward a few centuries, and poets such as William Shakespeare (1564–1616), William Blake (1757–1827) and Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861) wrote poems that captured the imagination of generations of readers. Poems during these eras usually rhymed, but not always. John Agard (born 1949) Benjamin Zephaniah (born in 1958) and Grace Nichols (born in 1950) are modern poets. They have combined their own Caribbean cultural heritage with life in Britain to write their own interesting and thought-provoking poetry about their experiences and observations. Their poetry is widely studied in schools by students across the country.Why does poetry matter?Poetry can be an important tool for self-expression. 66.5% of children found that writing poetry helped them cope with the difficulties of lockdown. A report carried out in 2020 found that poetry was the most usual way for 11 to 16-year-olds to discover writing from African and Asian cultures. This supports the organisers' belief that poetry can build understanding between cultures and people. Having a special day every year dedicated to poetry helps families, children, communities and schools share their poems and have their voices heard. It also keeps the need for poetry alive.What does "refuge" mean to you?Jay Bhadricha is one of the day's leaders. He describes refuge as a "shelter from the storm, it's an escape, it is a hug from someone you love and it is found in abundance in poetry". Some might find refuge in their family's past. They might write poetry about that, or even in the act of writing poetry itself. Others might seek refuge in their hobbies, and put pen to paper to share them. Refugees (people who have fled war and danger to make a home elsewhere) and those who have welcomed them might write about the experiences, too. The word "refuge" comes from a French word meaning "to flee". People might write about leaving something behind or rushing towards the future. The poet and author Michael Rosen wrote a poem called On the Move Again from Somewhere. It says, "Take the train. Catch a plane. Make the trip. Ina ship... home is where you find it. "1. What is suggested as a possible reason why some of the oldest known poems didn't have namedauthors?A. Authors intentionally remained anonymous.B. They were passed on through storytelling and song.C. Authors were not recognized in ancient times.D. The concept of authorship didn't exist then.2. When was "Caedmon's Hymn," often considered the oldest surviving English poem, written?A. In the 16th century.B. In the late 7th century.C. In the 18th century.D. More than 2,300 years ago.3. What does the text suggest about the role of poetry in building understanding between cultures?A. Poetry can build understanding between cultures and people.B. Poetry creates barriers between cultures.C. Poetry has no impact on cultural understanding.D. Poetry is mainly focused on promoting cultural differences.4. How does Jay Bhadricha describe the concept of "refuge" in relation to poetry?A. "A challenge, a mystery, and a distant journey."B. "A place to hide from danger, away from one's loved ones."C. "A feeling of sadness and loss."D. "Shelter from the storm, an escape, a hug from someone you love."5. What is the origin of the word "refuge," as mentioned in the text?A. It has no specific origin mentioned in the text.B. It is derived from a Latin word meaning "home."C. It comes from a French word meaning "to flee."D. It originates from an ancient Greek term.答案: 1. B, 2. B, 3. A, 4. D, 5. CDClimate Change Is Changing the Color of the OceanClimate change is reshaping the surface of the Earth — even down to the color of the oceans. A new study says that more than half the world's ocean area is "becoming greener." The trend is connected to human-caused global warming.It's not clear what is driving the greening. In some places, it could indicate changes in the amount of plankton or other organic material floating in the water. Plankton are a cornerstone of the ocean food chain. These kinds of shifts could have ripple effects throughout the entire marine ecosystem. That's a topic for future research. For now, the researchers can say for sure that the oceans are changing colors. And climate change is to blame.The study was published Wednesday in the journal Nature. It examines 20 years of satellite data. The data measures light reflected at the surface of the water all across the globe. The subtle changes aren't necessarily visible to the naked eye. The research finds that 56 percent of the world's oceans are shifting in color. And on the whole, they're growing greener. The trend is especially strong in the lower latitudes. These include the subtropics and tropics. Scientists then used a computer model. They wanted to find out whether climate change was playing a part. They ran one set of simulations. They represented the oceans under a strong climate change scenario. Then, they compared them with a second set of simulations. They imagined a world in which climate change didn't exist.Climate change seems to be the culprit. But the exact reasons still need some scientific digging. Rising ocean temperatures in and of themselves aren't driving the greening. There are plenty of other ways global warming is affecting the world. It can change the structure and flow of certain currents, for instance. These kinds of changes can affect the growth of phytoplankton and other factors that might be contributing to the greening. The findings weren't a surprise to the researchers. They're consistent with the way researchers expect the global oceans to change as the world keeps on warming. "I've been running simulations that have been telling me for years that thesechanges in ocean color are going to happen," study co-author Stephanie Dutkiewicz said. "To actually see it happening for real is not surprising, but frightening."1. According to the study, what percentage of the world's ocean area is "becoming greener"?A. Less than half.B. Around a quarter.C. Approximately two-thirds.D. More than half.2. What is not clear about the greening of the oceans?A. The impact of plankton on the marine ecosystem.B. The exact reasons driving the change in color.C. The visible changes in ocean color.D. The connection between greening and global warming.3. What did the researchers use to examine the changes in ocean color?A. Satellite data measuring reflected light.B. Survey responses from oceanographers.C. A computer model of the world's oceans.D. Underwater cameras and sensors.4. What do the simulations in the study suggest about climate change and ocean color?A. Climate change has no impact on ocean color shifts.B. Rising ocean temperatures are the main cause of the change.C. Rising global temperatures are to blame for the greening.D. Ocean color changes are unrelated to global warming.5. What does study co-author Stephanie Dutkiewicz say about the findings?A. They were unrelated to climate change.B. They were inconsistent with previous research.C. They were not surprising but frightening.D. They were unexpected and concerning.答案: 1. D, 2. B, 3. A, 4. C, 5. C。

高中英语真题:专题限时训练(十九) [史地自然型阅读理解(二)](限时：25分钟)AIf you are afraid of the dark，it's not a big deal.It's perfectly normal to feel afraid. After all，animals do, too. “Fear matters，”says Karen Warkentin，an ecologist.“It's a good thing，” she adds, “be cause fear make s you do things that keep you alive.”Like kids，many animals experience fear and they respond to the feeling i n variety of ways.A frightened turtle pulls its head and legs insid e its shell.A small fish will swim away when a big，hungry fish approaches.Some animals respond to fear in ways you might not expect.Th e first example is that the fear of being eaten can scare some fr ogs right out of their eggs. Warkentin made the surprising disco very while studying redeyed tree frogs in Costa Rica.In this species，female frogs attach jellylike clumps(果冻一样的块状物)of their eggs to the undersides of leaves.The leaves hang on branches that dangle(悬挂)over ponds.After they hatch from the eggs，the tadpoles(蝌蚪)then fall into the water，where they eventually grow into adult frogs.Tree frog eggs usually grow for 6 days before hatching.If they s ense that a hungry snake is about to attack，however，they can hatch up to 2 days ahead of the schedule. As the snak es are unable to swim，by falling into the water early，the tadpoles can escape.If hatching early helps protect redeyed tree frogs from snakes，you might wonder why their eggs don't always hatch sooner.It t urns out that hatching early brings its own danger.Once tadpole s land in the water，hungry fish and other animals like to eat them, too.Staying in th eir eggs for full 6 days，then，allows frog embryos(胚胎)to grow big and strong.This extra growth improves their chan ces of surviving in the water.1. It can be inferred from the passage that fears________．A．help animals grow bigger and strongerB．are less common among young animalsC．help animals move a lot to fit the environmentD．are more or less important in order for animals to survive 2. We are told in the passage that tree frogs________．A．face danger both inside their eggs and in the waterB．will grow fast if they fall into the water laterC．are surprisingly clever when inside their eggsD．stay in their eggs longer if they are frightened3. Why do the tadpoles hatch up to 2 days ahead of the schedul e？Because________．A．they like falling into the water earlyB．they want to grow into adult frogsC．they sense a hungry snake is about to attackD．frog embryos can grow strong4. What is the best title of the passage?A．What is fearB．Why do we feel afraid?C．You feel afraid，and animals do, tooD．Fear is a good thing5. What do you think would be discussed in the following paragr aph?A．Further explanations as to why tree frogs hatch ahead of th e schedule.B．How the unborn frogs know when a snake is about to attack them.C．Another example of animals that respond to fear in an unex pected way.D．How tree frogs improve their chances of survival before falli ng into the water.BBesides containing attractive flowers, trees and other plants tha t beautify the community, ecofriendly rain gardens(雨水花园) are healthy for the environment and the people living and w orking nearby.A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden. It is just a far more ecofriendly garden. Usually it is built lower than t he ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain and storm wat er by temporarily holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak(浸入)slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters th e public drinking water supply.Thus, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as n eeded by plants in the rain garden, rather than flowing immediat ely into nearby streams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two. This creates an adva ntage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed.This is a simple, attractive, and ecofriendly “green” way to treat storm water.What's more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and i mprove the environment. Without using expensive machinery a nd chemicals, rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in the rai nwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reaching strea ms and rivers by up to 30%.Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climate, soil, and water conditions. T hey may attract local wildlife such as native birds. Water your ra in garden immediately after planting and once a week, unless y ou have had at least an inch of rain during the week. Once nativ e plants establish the necessary root system, they will require lit tle care.Often, local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens in their yards and in public parks as a way to impr ove the environment and solve flooding problems. However, yo u don't need to be a professionally environmental engineer to cr eate a rain garden. As long as you're ecoconscious homeowner s, you can help the environment by building smaller rain garden s in your yards.1. Which of the following is NOT true for the function of rain gardens?A．They are good for living conditions.B．They increase pollution.C．They can beautify the community.D．They improve the environment.2. Which of the following is the ecofriendly function of rain gard ens discussed in Paragraph 4?A．They can keep the rain and storm water.B．They can help reduce the pollution problem.C．They can be healthy for the people around.D．They can make the environment more beautiful.3. One of the main reasons why native plants are recommended is that________．A．they cost less and are much easier to getB．they may attract local wildlife to comeC．they require little care from the local gardenerD．they are more used to the local growing conditions4. What do we know about rain gardens?A．They need little water after all the plants are planted. B．They usually need at least an inch of rainwater a week. C．They may attract local birds and change the local climate.D．They may reduce the water pollution problem by 70%.5. Who are the intended readers of the passage? A．Homeowners.B．Students.C．Engineers.D．Educators.CGiven Australia's size and the fact that early settlements were f ar apart, Australian society is remarkably homogeneous (同种的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of lif e in the major cities and towns is much the same, however man y miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional acc ents. However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers(居民) and the country people. Almost 90 per cent of the populatio n lives in the fastpaced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities pres erve pockets of colonial heritage, but the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the country's youth. In co ntrast, the rural communities tend to be slowmoving and conser vative. For many years, Australia was said to have “ridden on th e sheep's back”， a reference to wool being the country's mainmoney earner. However, the wool industry is no longer domina nt. Much of 's relatively sound economy is now achieved from n atural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond produc er in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine maki ng are also increasingly important. Australians are generally frie ndly and relaxed, with a selfdeprecating sense of humour. On t he whole, Australia is a society without hierarchies (等级制度), an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner beginnin gs.Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have tru e prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of th e First Fleet in 1788, had become a nation of immigrants. Origi nally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in t hree Australians comes from elsewhere. Australia's liberal post war immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from wartor n Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans. The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majorit y of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia i s a “blend of nations” and although some racism exists, it has g enerally been a successful experiment and the country is justifi ably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural co mmunities in the world.1. What does the writer mean by saying “It takes a sharp ear toidentify regional accents.” in the first paragraph? A．Australians speak Standard English with no local accents w hatsoever.B．You have to practise a lot to learn to understand the differen t accents.C．The Australian regional accents are very difficult to underst and indeed.D．There is not much difference between the accents in differe nt areas of .2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the p assage?A．Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners. B．The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports. C．The majority of people living in Australia come from Europe. D．The pace of life is different in the city and in the country. 3. The underlined pronoun “it” in the last paragraph refers to “__ ______”．A．communityB．racismC．blend of nationsD．Southeast Asia4. We can infer from the passage that ________．A．there are no signs of 's colonial past in its modern cities B．Australia's recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast AsiaC．immigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial proble msD．“riding on sheep's back” resulted in slow development in rur al communities5. This passage mainly focuses on Australia's ________．A．societyB．economyC．racial problemsD．history专题限时训练(十九) [史地自然型阅读理解(二)] (限时：25分钟)AIf you are afraid of the dark，it's not a big deal.It's perfectly normal to feel afraid.

As the snakes are unable to swim，by falling into the water early，the tadpoles can escape.If hatching early helps protect redeyed tree frogs from snakes，you might wonder why their eggs don't always hatch sooner.It turns out that hatching early bring s its own danger.Once tadpoles land in the water，hungry fish and other animals like to eat them, too.Staying in their eggs for full 6 days，then，allows frog embryos(胚胎)to grow big and strong.This extra growth improves their chances of surviving in the water. 1. It can be inferred from the passage that fears________．A．help animals grow bigger and strongerB．are less common among young animalsC．help animals move a lot to fit the environmentD．are more or less important in order for animals to survive2. We are told in the passage that tree frogs________．A．face danger both inside their eggs and in the waterB．will grow fast if they fall into the water laterC．are surprisingly clever when inside their eggsD．stay in their eggs longer if they are frightened3. Why do the tadpoles hatch up to 2 days ahead of the schedule？Because________．A．they like falling into the water earlyB．they want to grow into adult frogsC．they sense a hungry snake is about to attackD．frog embryos can grow strong4. What is the best title of the passage?A．What is fearB．Why do we feel afraid?C．You feel afraid，and animals do, tooD．Fear is a good thing5. What do you think would be discussed in the following paragraph?A．Further explanations as to why tree frogs hatch ahead of the schedule.B．How the unborn frogs know when a snake is about to attack them.C．Another example of animals that respond to fear in an unexpected way.D．How tree frogs improve their chances of survival before falling into the water.BBesides containing attractive flowers, trees and other plants that beautify the community, ecofri endly rain gardens(雨水花园) are healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby.A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden. It is just a far more ecofriendly gard en. Usually it is built lower than the ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain and storm wat er by temporarily holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak(浸入)slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply. Thus, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain gard en, rather than flowing immediately into nearby streams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two. This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed. This is a simple, attractive, and ecofriendly “green” way to treat s torm water.What's more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the environment. Witho ut using expensive machinery and chemicals, rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in the rai nwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%.Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climat e, soil, and water conditions. They may attract local wildlife such as native birds. Water your rai n garden immediately after planting and once a week, unless you have had at least an inch of r ain during the week. Once native plants establish the necessary root system, they will require lit tle care.Often, local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens in their yards and i n public parks as a way to improve the environment and solve flooding problems. However, you don't need to be a professionally environmental engineer to create a rain garden. As long as yo u're ecoconscious homeowners, you can help the environment by building smaller rain gardens in your yards.1. Which of the following is NOT true for the function of rain gardens?A．They are good for living conditions.B．They increase pollution.C．They can beautify the community.D．They improve the environment.2. Which of the following is the ecofriendly function of rain gardens discussed in Paragraph 4? A．They can keep the rain and storm water.B．They can help reduce the pollution problem.C．They can be healthy for the people around.D．They can make the environment more beautiful.3. One of the main reasons why native plants are recommended is that________．A．they cost less and are much easier to getB．they may attract local wildlife to comeC．they require little care from the local gardenerD．they are more used to the local growing conditions4. What do we know about rain gardens?A．They need little water after all the plants are planted.B．They usually need at least an inch of rainwater a week.C．They may attract local birds and change the local climate.D．They may reduce the water pollution problem by 70%.5. Who are the intended readers of the passage?A．Homeowners.B．Students.C．Engineers.D．Educators.CGiven Australia's size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australian society is re markably homogeneous (同种的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same, however many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional acce nts. However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers(居民) and the country people. Almost 90 per cent of the population lives in the fastpaced cities alo ng the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities prese rve pockets of colonial heritage, but the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecti ng the country's youth. In contrast, the rural communities tend to be slowmoving and conservati ve. For many years, Australia was said to have “ridden on the sheep's back”， a reference to w ool being the country's main money earner. However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. Much of 's relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians are generally friendly and relaxed, with a selfdeprec ating sense of humour. On the whole, Australia is a society without hierarchies (等级制度), an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner beginnings.Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only o ne generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, had become a nation of immigrants. Origi nally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from el sewhere. Australia's liberal postwar immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from wartor n Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from So utheast Asia. Today Australia is a “blend of nations” and although some racism exists, it has ge nerally been a successful experiment and the country is justifiably proud to have one of the mos t harmonious multicultural communities in the world.1. What does the writer mean by saying “It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.” in thefirst paragraph?A．Australians speak Standard English with no local accents whatsoever.B．You have to practise a lot to learn to understand the different accents.C．The Australian regional accents are very difficult to understand indeed. D．There is not much difference between the accents in different areas of .2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.B．The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.C．The majority of people living in Australia come from Europe.D．The pace of life is different in the city and in the country.3. The underlined pronoun “it” in the last paragraph refers to “________”．A．communityB．racismC．blend of nationsD．Southeast Asia4. We can infer from the passage that ________．A．there are no signs of 's colonial past in its modern citiesB．Australia's recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast Asia C．immigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial problemsD．“riding on sheep's back” resulted in slow development in rural communities5. This passage mainly focuses on Australia's ________．A．societyB．economyC．racial problemsD．history。
