阅读短文并回答问题Seagrass meadows（海草床）are wonder plants growing beneath the sea. They feed and shelter sea life and are masterful at storing carbon. Thanks to the assistance of tiger sharks, a huge seagrass meadow in the Bahamas Banks was recently discovered, offering the world a tool to fight climate change.Seagrass has usually been detected by Earth-orbiting satellites that identify darker patches in the blue water. In this study, tiger sharks were selected as research tools due to their highly consistent associations with seagrass ecosystems. They spend 70% of their time in seagrass meadows. The team equipped eight tiger sharks with satellite tags, seven sharks with camera tags, and used a 360-degree camera on a shark for the first time ever.The data researchers collected was astonishing. The world’s largest seagrass ecosystem, measuring at least 66,900 square kilometers, has been discovered. This reflects a 41% increase from previous estimates of global seagrass. Seagrass can capture（捕获）huge quantities of carbon by photosynthesis and stores it on the seafloor. In terms of climate change, this is excellent news; seagrass is 35 times faster at removing carbon than tropical rainforests. When referred to global seagrass carbon stock estimates, the study indicates that seagrass in the Bahamas may contain 19.2% to 26.3% of all the carbon stored in seagrass meadows on Earth.Yet seagrass meadows are rapidly disappearing, with over 92% of meadows in the UK gone, according to the World Wildlife Fund. Scientists are collecting seeds and trying to grow new seagrass meadows through restoration projects. This new discovery offers optimism and proves the importance of the ocean for healing.The sharks led us to the seagrass ecosystem in the Bahamas, which we now know is likely the most significant blue carbon sink on the planet. What this discovery shows us is that ocean exploration and research are essential for a healthy future. The untapped potential of the ocean is limitless. These meadows can be protected and can be replicated, offering hope for climate change around the globe.1. Why were tiger sharks chosen as research toolsA. They are more flexible than other sea animals.B. They can quickly adjust themselves to the deep sea.C. They can be easily equipped with experimental devices.D. They have a strong connection with seagrass ecosystems.2. What are the numbers in paragraph 3 mainly aboutA. The decline of global seagrass meadows.B. The impact of climate change on sea life.C. The rapid increase in the amount of carbon on Earth.D. The potential value of the world’s largest seagrass ecosystem.3. What are scientists doing to protect seagrassA. Planting more seagrass meadows.B. Developing new technology to collect seeds.C. Mapping the distribution of seagrass meadows.D. Encouraging people to join in restoration projects.4. Which could be the best title for the textA. The New Way of Removing CarbonB. The Significance of Ocean ExplorationC. A New Discovery: World’s Largest Seagrass MeadowD. Tiger Sharks: Scientists’ Essential Helper to Study Climate答案：DDAC阅读短文并回答问题The topic of China’s “slash youth” has fueled heated debate on social media recently, drawing attention to the diverse pursuits of the younger generation.The slash youth, which could also be called slashers or slash-generation — means those who refuse to be defined or bound by just one personal identity. They are keen to present themselves as multiple and sometimes distinct identities, such as a nurse and model, a teacher and stand-up comedian, and an engineer and band player. Rather than material comforts, they pursue meaningful achievement.A diverse career can enable them to develop new experiences and talents as well as social and professional networks, leading to greater flexibility in life and work, recognition and satisfaction.A study on “slash youth” published in the China Youth Research magazine analyzes the background of this phenomenon: with part of modern society’s structured organization and stability norms（规范）are broken, flexible labor markets and structural unemployment has emerged, eliminating the sense of job security of the young people in employment. Young people also face the dilemma of self-actualization（自我实现）, including the sense of powerlessness, lost sense of value and lack of self-identity in the profession, which forces them to re-find the meaning of work.“The ‘slash life’ shows that our society is becoming more and more diversified and inclusive, and it welcomes everyone’s self-fulfillment,” said Shi Yanrong, an associate researcher from Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences. “Young people no longer have to rely on work and money for their sense of self-worth. They tend to create their own identities.” The researcher added that against the background that people have multiple interests and are willing to pay for these interests nowadays, the “slash life” of the youth would drive the growth of a new economy, just as animation（动漫）culture affected the market.1. What do we know about the slash youthA. They tend to undertake multiple careers.B. They are keen to pursue material comforts.C. They enjoy posting themselves on social media.D. They can easily adjust themselves to challenges in life.2. What is paragraph 4 mainly aboutA. The importance of flexible labor markets.B. Reasons for the emergence of slash youth.C. Young people’s pursuits in their profession.D. Causes of losing self-identity among the youth.3. What does Shi Yanrong think of the slash lifeA. It can raise the economic growth.B. It helps increase people’s independence.C. It inspires young people’s creativity at work.D. It enables young people to earn high incomes.4. What is the purpose of the textA. To provide career guidance.B. To analyze a cultural difference.C. To introduce a social phenomenon.D. To share a unique life experience.答案：ABAC阅读短文并回答问题What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of wheat straw Most people would probably just see it as a pile of waste in a farmer’s field. However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor, can turn the straw left over from harvested wheat into beautiful and eye-catching functional artworks.The earliest straw-weaving（草编的）products were discovered at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic cultural site located in eastern China’s Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were already mats made of cattail grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen during the Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-256 BC).Straw weaving is a method of manufacturing daily items or artworks. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.Wu explains the process of straw weaving: selection of materials is the first step of a complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive process that can take weeks, or even months, to complete. You need to sketch（素描）the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving of the work. Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike.In the past, woven straw items could be found almost in every household in the countryside, such as straw hats and straw shoes, because they were practical in everyday life. But due to the impact of industrialization, manufactured goods have replaced such products, which yield low profits, and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in the work across the country. “The world has changed, and craftsmen need to transcend practicality and pursue the beauty and artistry of straw culture to help the craft survive and thrive,” Wu says.From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture. “Craftspeople should make a great effort to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products,” she says. When asked about her plans, Wu says she wants to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw-weaving technique.1. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about straw-weaving productsA. Their major uses.B. Their cultural value.C. Their historic origins.D. Their manufacturing process.2. Which is the most difficult part for straw-weaving craftsmen according to Wu CuiA. Making the artworks vivid.B. Drawing sketches on paper.C. Selecting suitable materials.D. Preserving finished products.3. What does the underlined word “transcend” in paragraph 5 probably meanA. Rely on.B. Turn to.C. Cast away.D. Go beyond.4. What can we learn from Wu Cui’s opinion according to the last paragraphA. Straw-weaving products are out of favor with customers.B. Pursuing fashion should be the first priority for craftspeople.C. Local people benefit a lot from the straw-weaving techniques.D. Craftsmen should innovate the craft based on traditional culture.参考答案：CADD阅读短文并回答问题Not all fat is created equal, according to several new studies. We all know there’s good cholesterol（胆固醇）and bad cholesterol. It turns out there’s good and bad fat, too. Good fat is medically known as “brown fat”.Brown fat, typically found in the neck and shoulders of newborns, has the ability to burn lots of calories, which serves the purpose of keeping them warm. It makes up about 5 percent of an infant’s total body mass. We lose most of our brown fat as we age. By age six, we have less than 5 percent of the brown fat we were born with; the fat we gain over time is almost all white fat.Researchers now believe that some people maintain brown fat deposits into adulthood. Brown fat — the “good” kind — is metabolically（新陈代谢地）efficient and actually burns excess energy to generate heat. But white fat — considered the “bad” kind — is a way for your body to store excess energy that accumulates when you consume more calories than you use. It is widely distributed throughout the body. And it doesn’t use much energy, is hard to burn off, accumulates, and causes other health problems.Some studies suggest that taking a cold shower or an ice bath could activate（激活）brown fat to help your body burn more calories. Researchers have also found methods that may help people gain brown fat without the need for cold. You build fat from the foods you eat. As brown fat is rich in iron, choosing iron supplements or food items rich in iron can keep your fat cells healthy. Nutrition is vital for your health, especially if you want to increase brown fat production.One of the major causes of shortened life spans and the growth in chronic illnesses like osteoarthritis, diabetes, and many cancers is the increasing level of white fat. Though converting existing white fat into brown fat is helpful to increase brown fat, some scientists think they will learn how to keep stores of brown fat as large and active throughout adulthood as they are in infancy: The goal should be to maintain brown fat forever rather than having to recreate it.1. Who has more brown fat according to the textA. A teenage girl.B. A college student.C. A new-born baby.D. An elderly professor.2. How is brown fat different from white fatA. It can help prevent health problems.B. It burns calories with higher efficiency.C. It is distributed in the neck and shoulders.D. It stores excess energy in the human body.3. What is paragraph 4 mainly aboutA. Ways of increasing the amount of brown fat.B. The significance of keeping fat cells healthy.C. The key role of nutrition in brown fat production.D. Effects of the temperature on activating brown fat.4. What do scientists expect to figure outA. How to recreate more brown fat.B. How to turn white fat into brown fat.C. How to evaluate the risks of white fat.D. How to maintain the early level of brown fat.参考答案：CBAD。

Wang De wen, known as “Grandpa Amu” on YouTube, has been praised as the modern day Lu Ban, awell-known Chinese structural engineer during the Zhou Dynasty, thanks to his rich carpentry(木工手艺) knowledge.Grandpa Amu’s most popular video, which shows him making a delicate wooden arch bridge, has gone viral on YouTube, gaining more than 40 million views. “If you do something, you have to love it, and you have to be interested in it; however, being interested doesn’t mean there’s only happiness and no pain.” Grandpa Amu shared when talking about his excellent carpentry skills.His most popular works include a folding stool, a model of the China pavilion from the 2010 Shanghai Expo, and an apple-shaped interlocking puzzle, known as a Lu Ban lock. Grandpa Amu follows an ancient Chinese mortise and tenon(榫卯) technique, which means no nails or glue are involved in the entire process of building the arch bridge.The master carpenter has also made several wooden toys for his grandson using the same technique. His young grandson’s favorites include a walking Peppa Pig and a bubble blowing machine. Attracting over 1.17 million fans on Y ouTube, Grandpa Amu’s videos so far have gained more than 200 million views.His wonderful woodworking skills, using the same mortise and tenon joints found in the Forbidden City, were developed from the age of thirteen as a way of supporting his family in East China’s Shandong Province. “The grandson is so happy, as there have been so many fine and unique toys made by grandpa from an early age,” commented one netizen; while another said “It’s amazing. I hope these traditional crafts can be passed on!”；4．Why is Grandpa Amu regarded as the modern day Lu BanA．For his simple words. B．For his popular videos.C．For his carpentry skills. D．For his excellent arch bridge.；5．What do Grandpa Amu’s remarks mean in Paragraph 2A．Theory is from pracitce. B．Success depends on love. C．Excellent skills lie in hard work.

D．The wooden material.；7．What message does this text mainly conveyA．Being popular means more fans. B．Perfect skills earn more money. C．Supporting family needs more skills. D．Traditional crafts deserve passing on.CUntil 13, Parker Liautaud was an ordinary kid. That changed after he met polar explorer Robert Swan. They began an email correspondence which turned into a friendship that eventually saw the then 14-year-old invited to join a trip to the Antarctic. He said yes almost instantly. Friends and family, to whom he’d so far shown he had no particular inte rest in outdoor pursuits, particularly polar ones, were thrown into total confusion, to say the least. He ate lots of chicken, spent a long time in the gym, and proved them wrong.The following year, Liautaud cooked up a more ambitious plan: to become the youngest-ever person to go to the North Pole. He found a new partner, Doug Stoup, and through a mixture of charm and luck raised the roughly $150,000 needed for the record attempt. Then disaster struck. The early months of the year, when the two set out, were among the warmest on record. The North Pole, which is essentially a GPS location on a constantly-drifting collection of ice sheets, became virtually inaccessible, surrounded by pieces of uncovered ocean.A trip which had intended to raise awareness of melting ice caps had been delayed by melting Ice caps. " We would get up, battle throughthese difficult conditions for 150 hours, then wake up the next morning and find that we were further away from the Pole than we’d started the previous morning, he sai d. After 14 days’ trying, they admitted defeat. Liautaud came home and decided to try again the next spring. Conditions were cold but perfect, and he and Stoup reached the Pole in no time. While it might not have made him the youngest North-Poler, the success did give Liautaud a platform to continue advocacy against climate change, through his campaigning website. His view is that it's his generation that must push hardest for cuts in carbon emissions. He has already contributed to research projects carried out by the International Atomic Energy Agency and will soon set up two stations to record weather data.8．How did Liautaud's family react to his decision to go to the Antarctic A．They made fun of it.B．They turned a deaf ear to it .C．They were puzzled about it.D．They tried to talk him out of it.9．What prevented Liautaud and Stoup from reaching the North Pole A．The movement of the iceB．The lack of fundsC．The severe weatherD．The failure of the equipment10．Why was Liautaud determined to go to the North PoleA．To push his physical limitsB．To become the youngest North-PolerC．To finish a research project for his websiteD．To support environmental protection11．Which of the following words can best describe Liautaud as a young manA．Demanding B．Responsible C．Generous D．CooperativeDIf you ask something of ChatGPT, an artificial-intelligence(AI) tool, you may immediately get the responses, completely certain and often wrong. The questions raised by technologies like ChatGPT cause much more tentative answers. But they are ones that managers ought to start asking. One issue is how to deal with employees’ concerns about job security. Worries are natural. An AI that makes it easier to process your expenses is one thing; an AI that people would prefer to sit next to at a dinner party quite another. Being clear about how workers would redirect time and energy that is freed up by an AI helps foster acceptance. So does creating a sense of agency: research conducted by MIT Sloan Management Review and the Boston Consulting Group found that an ability to override an AI makes employees more likely to use it.Arthur Jago of the University of Washington and Glenn Carroll of theStanford Graduate School of Business investigate how willing people are to give rather than earn credit—specifically for work that someone did not do on their own. They showed volunteers something attributed to a specific person — an artwork, say, or a business plan — and then revealed that it had been created either with the help of an algorithm or with the help of human assistants. Everyone gave less credit to producers when they were told they had been helped, but this effect was more pronounced for work that involved human assistants.The picture that emerges from such research is messy. It is also dynamic: just as technologies evolve, so will attitudes. But it is crystal-clear on one thing. The impact of ChatGPT and other AIs will depend not just on what they can do, but also on how they make people feel.；12．What should managers take into consideration when using technologies like ChatGPTA．Skills used for them. B．Issues caused by them.C．Accuracy ensured in them. D．Alternatives discovered for them.；13．What can we learn about employees’ attitude towards AI from Paragraph 2A．They find it can make their work more complicated.B．They think it is a threat for AI to replace them at work.C．They consider it’s normal for AI to finish all their work.D．They feel it’s vital for them to acknowledge its abilities.；14．What did the volunteers think of a task accomplished with AI algorithmA．They thought little of it. B．They were unaware of it.C．They spoke highly of it. D．They felt envious about it.；15．What does the passage mainly talk aboutA．The limitation of AI. B．The importance of Chat GPTC．The relationship between AI and humans. D．The practical application of Chat GPT.参考答案本文是一篇应用文。

高考英语阅读理解专项训练.附详解（新闻类）(1)LONDON —Britain awoke on Easter Monday to a period of mourning for the Queen Mother, who died over the weekend after a life spanning a century of noisy and evident change. The 101-year-old royal matriarch died in her sleep last Saturday with Queen Elizabeth, her elder and only surviving daughter, at her bedside. For a woman who was one of the best-known figures in Britain for more than 80 years —from the era of tinted portraits on tin biscuit boxes and cigarette cards to the age of the Internet, the Queen Mother remained an enigmatic(不可思议的) and elusive(躲避的) figure.She achieved such a respect through aeons(永世, 亿万年) of, first, fawning and, later, intrusive media fascination, by remaining almost entirely silent. Her private thoughts were never paraded(炫耀) in public. What the public saw was a charming and benign elderly lady, adept at winning the admiration of press photographers, whom she always favoured with a particular smile.CHINA’s third unmanned spacecraft, Shenzhou Ⅲ, landed safely in central Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Monday afternoon, after orbiting the earth 108 times in slightly less than a week.

文体分类练(七)新闻报道(限时:25分钟)Passage1(2023四川成都三诊)Jeff Jensen,the business and Boy Scout leader,was in a dilemma and had painful damage in his leg and foot.He needed surgery,but he doubted whether he could afford it,even with insurance.“There’s nothing more depressing than seeing a bill for 24,000 dollars and going.How much of this will my insurance cover and how much is mine to cover?” Jensen told WWAY-TV.Luckily for Jensen,his doctor is Demetrio Aguila.The nerve specialist gives patients the option to pay for surgery through volunteer work.He founded an organization called M25 Program.“We can’t ignore the people in our own backyard,” Aguila told CBS.“We want to be able to offer hope to patients who have lost hope medically.”Using an algorithm (算法),the clinic calculates community service hours based on the price of the surgery.In Jensen’s case,the $12,000 operation equaled 560 hours of helping out at one of the local charitable organizations registered with the M25 Program.Like 10 percent of Aguila’s pa tients,Jensen chose the community service.And because hundreds of hours of community service can seem difficult,Aguila,50,not only lets others participate,he encourages it.“I had this hope that we would reawaken in our neighbors and in ourselves a sense of volunteerism,” he told CNN.Jensen,whose surgery was completed in February 2020,was helped by more than 100 friends and strangers who volunteered at Orphan Grain Train,which donates food,clothing,and medicine nationally and globally.Dave Harvey,founder of the homeless aid organization Least of My

get the hard part out of the way first.Last November,Madeline wrote a letter to the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control with a straightforward request.“Dear LA County,I would like your approval if I can have a unicorn in my backyard if I can find one.Please send me a letter in response.”Director Mayeda replied two weeks later.The department does in fact license unicorns,she said,under certain conditions.Those include polishing the unicorn’s horn at least once a month with a soft cloth,feeding it watermelon at least once a week,covering it with only nontoxic and biodegradable sparkles and giving it regular access to sunlight,moonbeams and rainbows.And,because unicorns are indeed very rare to find,the department is also giving Madeline a toy unicorn to keep her company during her search,as a token of appreciation.“It is always rewarding to hear from young people who thoughtfully consider the requirements of providing a loving home for animals,”Mayeda wrote in the letter.“I like your sense of responsible pet ownership to seek permission in advance to keep a unicorn in Los Angeles County.”Mayeda told The Washington Post that this is the first time the department has received a request for a license for a unicorn or any mythical creature.They were impressed with the first-grader for wanting to ask permission in the first place,and doing her research to work out how to go about that.She and her colleagues deal with a lot of “life-and-death”issues on the job,whether that’s seeing cases of animal abuseor animals hurting people or making decisions about having to put down dangerous or sick animals.So Madeline’s letter has co nsiderably brightened their spirits,and she is due to visit the department this week to discuss her unicorn license application.Safe to say,she’s in for a magical surprise.5.Why did Madeline write the letter?A.To apply to visit a unicorn.B.To learn to provide animal care.C.To ask permission to keep a pet.D.To figure out how to find a unicorn.6.What can we learn from paragraph 3?A.Her application was disapproved.B.Requirements should be met for the license.C.She was presented with a live

the first call on a New York City street from a heavy Motorola prototype(原型)that our world would come to be encapsulated on a sleek glass sheath where we search,connect,like and buy.Cooper says he is an optimist.He believes that advances in mobile technology will continue to transform lives but he is worried about risks smartphones pose to privacy and young people.“My most negative opinion is that we don’t have any privacy anymore because everything about us is now recorded someplace and accessible to somebody who has enough intense desire to get it,” the 94-year-old said in an interview in Barcelona at MWC,the Mobile World Congress,the world’s biggest wirel ess trade show,where he was getting a lifetime award.Cooper sees a dark side to the advances,including the risk to children.One idea,he said,is to have“various Internets intended for different audiences”.Cooper made the first public call from a handheld portable telephone on a Manhattan street on April 3,1973,using a prototype device his team at Motorola had started designing just five months earlier.Cooper used the DynaTAC phone to famously call his opponent at Bell Labs,owned by AT&T.It was literally t he world’s first brick phone,weighing 2.5 pounds and measuring 11 inches.Cooper spent the best part of the next decade working to bring a commercial version of the device to market.The call helped kick-start the cellphone revolution.Cooper said he’s “not crazy” about the shape of modern smartphones.He thinks they will develop so that they’ll be “distributed on your body”,possibly as sensors “measuring your health at all times”.Batteries,he said,might be replaced by human energy.The body makes energy from food,he argues,so it could possibly also power a phone.Instead of holding the phone in the hand,for example,the device could be placed under the skin.9.What does the underlined part “a sleek glass sheath” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.A smartphone.B.A Motorola prototype.C.A “brick” cellphone.D.An original cellphone.10.What is Cooper’s attitude about the future of the mobile phone?A.Most negative.B.Very subjective.C.Doubtful and disapproving.D.Optimistic but also concerned.11.What can be inferred about children from paragraph 5?A.They should be provided with a different Internet from adults.B.They should have easy access to various Internets.C.They should be introduced to different audiences.D.They should use various Internets for learning materials.12.According to Cooper,how might smartphones be powered in the future?A.By body sensors.B.By human body.C.By solar energy.D.By advanced batteries.答案：Passage1[语篇解读]本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是Jeff Jensen在医生Demetrio Aguila成立的M25 Program 的帮助下,通过参加社区服务来支付了手术费用的故事。

双语新闻阅读与练习2024年诺贝尔物理学奖公布双语新闻Back in the 1980s, John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton set the stage for today’s artificial intelligence by using physics to identify patterns in information.早在20世纪80年代，约翰·霍普菲尔德和杰弗里·辛顿就利用物理学来识别信息中的模式，为今天的人工智能奠定了基础。
Their work now allows machines to mimic learning and remembering, functions that were previously thought to be the sole province of organic brains.现在，他们的研究使机器能够模仿学习和记忆，而这些功能在以前被认为是生物大脑的专属领域。
At a tech conference last year, Hinton emphasized the differences are smaller than you might think.在去年的一次科技会议上，辛顿强调，这种差异比你想象的要小得多。
“We’re just a machine. We’re a wonderful, incredibly complicated machine, but we’re just a big neural net. And there’s no reason why an artificial neural net shouldn’t be able to do everything we can do.”“我们只是一台机器。

And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions(份), it's the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly(表面上)participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin.For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we're making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “I’ll have what she's having” effect. However, we'll adjust the in fluence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I'll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I'll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I?12．What is the recent study mainly about?A ．Food safety.B ．Movie viewership.C ．Consumer demand.D ．Eating behavior.13．What does the underlined word “beanpoles” in paragraph 1 refer to?A．Big eaters.

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校专题限时训练(二十三) [新闻报道型阅读理解](限时：25分钟)(一)SHANGHAI—Health experts in Shanghai are calling for more protection for young children as the latest research shows about half of the youngsters are suffering from second hand smoke.About 45 percent of children suffer passive smoking in families, 50 percent in public places, and almost 6 percent on public transportation, shows a research released by the Shanghai Children’s Medical Center on Tuesday.“Not only adults but also children and newborn babies a re at risk for the adverse effects of passive smoking，” said Tang Jingyan, a doctor at the Shanghai Children’s Medical Center.“Actually, those young children whose bodies are still growing and developing are more sensitive to the effects of secondhand smoke.”Research has shown that children who are exposed to secondhand smoke will suffer from more colds, coughs and sore throats, and they are more likely to suffer from bronchitis, pneumonia and will have a higher risk of developing cancer.Doctors even suggested that children suffering passive smoking are more likely to have behavioral problems and may not develop mentally as quickly as their peers.Other research by the Shanghai Children’s Medical Center has found that more than 80 percent of child patients in the center live in a smokefilled household, where one or both parents smoke.“Though doctors have stressed the harm of passive smoking over and over, it is still hard to reach a totally smokefree home，” said a pediatrician named Zhang Yiwen, noting that parents are often tempted to smoke even though they have learned the harmful effects of secondhand smoke.China has 540 million people suffering from passive smoke, 180 million of them younger than 15.The age of smokers is also getting lower, earlier reports said.“There are more young smokers than before.You can see young people wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag light a cigarette on the street.Some of them are even female students，” said Jing Xingming,a professor of children’s deve lopmental behavior at the center.“Children like to imitate adults, especially their parents.If parents often smoke at home, it is very likely children will develop a smoking habit, which can cause a vicious circle，” Jin said.Reports from the Ministry of Health said China has about 350 million smokers, of whom 15 million are underage smokers.Also, around 40 million of the country’s 130 million children aged between 13 and 18 had tried smoking, and 15 million had become addicted to tobacco.( )1.What is the main idea of the passage?A．About half of the youngsters are suffering from secondhand smoke.B．Experts are calling for more protection for youngsters from smoking.C．More and more youngsters are picking up the habit of smoking.D．Smoking does great harm to the health of the youngsters.( )2.What kind of the youngsters most possibly develop a habit of smoking?A．Children of nonsmoking mothers.B．Children of nonsmoking fathers.C．Children of heavy smokers.D．Children from some smoking centers.( )3.Which of the following disease may not be connected with secondhand smoking?A．Cancer.

1.（2024上·贵州贵阳·高三贵阳一中校考阶段练习）Splendid straw-made miniatures (缩微模型) of classic ancient buildings decorate Xu Jian’s home. They range from the Yellow Crane Tower to Forbidden City’s turrets. They are all full of details and delicately crafted, tied and arranged by Xu’s hands from countless sorghum straws (高粱杆).The craft involves carving grooves (沟槽) into the sorghum straws, before multiple straws are locked together through those identically sized grooves, Xu says, adding that the sorghum straw art requires a great deal of patience, especially for works depicting ancient architecture.Under the influence of his father Xu Yanfeng, Xu Jian got his hands on sorghum straws in childhood. He still vividly remember show his father would follow a film featuring scenes of Tiananmen Square and then note down all the details before creating a delicate miniature of it for over three years. The work was then sent to Japan for exhibition and collected by a local museum. Ever since, many of his father’s works made their way to exhibitions at home and abroad.Xu Jian became committed to the art after he reached 19, getting into the depth of the related techniques. “My father urged me to keep in mind traditional Chinese architectural skills and the history of traditional building protections, and to apply them to my own sorghum straw artworks,” he says. Through hands-on guidance from his father, Xu Jian’s skills became increasingly proficient. While inheriting the craftsmanship from his father, Xu Jian has produced his own creative works.To date, Xu Jian’s works have been exhibited in over 40 provincial and national-level exhibitions, earning numerous gold awards. To promote the art, Xu Jian joined hands with the School of Civil Engineering, Hebei University of Science and Technology, in 2013, and founded a sorghum straw carving and tying base where the art has been integrated with architectural courses to enhance students’ thinking and practical skills.1．What’s the feature of Xu Jian’s miniatures?A．They are made from rare materials.B．They are skillfully created by hand.C．They are sold in the Forbidden City.D．They are identical to ancient buildings.2．What can we infer about Xu Yanfeng from the text?A．He showed great perseverance.B．He was fond of watching films.C．He won popularity only in China.D．He attached importance to creativity.3．Why did Xu Jian establish a sorghum straw carving and tying base?A．To exhibit his artworks.B．To assist a university.C．To accommodate artists.D．To spread craftsmanship.4．Which of the following can best describe Xu Jian?A．Patient and innovative.B．Generous and productive.C．Caring and strong-willed.D．Critical and open-minded.2.（2023·广西玉林·高三统考阶段练习）It was hard not to notice the 8-year-old boy Brooke across the street who stormed in and out of his own house. He did it so often that a neighbor, Chris, wondered what was going on in his life. So Chris asked him.“He told me that he didn’t have a father,” says Chris, now 58, “and I realized there might be something I could do for him.”That something was fishing, and Chris’s father taught him how to fish. “Fishing always brought me peace and it taught me how to be patient. When you’re on the water, you can forget about your problems and just appreciate the moment,” Chris said.One Saturday afternoon on the water led to another, and soon he was teaching other kidsin their neighborhood, Lakeland, Florida, how to fix a line, hold a pole, and roll in a big catch. That was 16 years ago.Since then, Chris has taken groups of kids out almost every weekend to fish. Then, in 2018 he started the nonprofit Take a Kid Fishing Inc. He and a small group of volunteers have introduced more than 2, 500 kids — most without fathers around — to the calming peace found on the water and the excitement of catching a fish.One of those kids was Jayden, who struggled emotionally when his father died in a car accident in January 2020.“He was really close to his dad,” says Jayden’s mother, Terra. “And with two younger sisters, he felt he needed to take over the man-of-the-house role. He was trying to be strong for everyone and didn’t show his emotion. I was wondering what to do to help him, and then I learned about Take a Kid Fishing Inc.”Jayden, now 13, has become a devoted fisherman and credits Chris with helping him mature.“There’s nothing like feeling that first tug (猛拉) on the line and seeing a kid light up with a smile,” Chris says. “I feel lucky to witness that every weekend.”5．What can we learn about Brooke from the first paragraph?A．He tended to be restless.B．He had an ambitious mind.C．He longed to have a father.D．He was interested in fishing.6．Why did Chris setup Take a Kid Fishing Inc?A．Because he enjoyed the company of children.B．Because he had to raise some volunteers to help kids.C．Because he wanted to light up fatherless children’s life.D．Because he considered teaching children to catch fish fun.7．What’s the purpose of the author mentioning Jayden?A．To present the benefits of Chris’s act.B．To show Jayden’s mother’s appreciation.C．To promote the popularity of fishing together.D．To make readers donate money to Chris’s organization.8．What conclusion can be made from Chris’s work?A．Fishing can strengthen family connections.B．Fathers play an important role in kids’ life.C．Family kids are the future of a strong nation.D．Proper and timely guidance makes a mature kid.3.（2023·广西南宁·高三南宁二中校考阶段练习）Thailand’s “loneliest tree”, a tree growing on a rocky island only a few meters in diameter, is being seriously threatened by tourists desperate to get a selfie (自拍) with it.The small patch of land located just off the country’s eastern coast in Trat Province has been called “Koh Khai Hua Roh” because it looks similar to the island featured in drawings of funny scenes involving a man and a woman trapped on an island in the popular Khai Hua Roh comic. The uninhabited island is quite a sight to behold, as it is home to a lonely tree that struggle to live despite being surrounded by salt water. Unfortunately, the tree’s popularity might just be the death of it.On Tuesday, the Koh Mak Tambon Administrative Organization led a team of Thai reporters to Koh Khai Hua Roh in order to observe the country’s loneliest tree. They knew that photos of the lonely tree shared on social media had been attracting an increasing number of tourists to the island, but they had no idea how much damage that could produce.According to The Nation, several small branches of the tree were found broken off, the tree’s exposed roots appeared to have been stepped heavily on to the point where the outer cover has peeled off (剥落), and the trunk appears to be tilting (倾斜) more than it did a few years back.Koh Khai Hua Roh island is so tiny that it can only accommodate up to five people at a time, but local authorities admit that selfie-addicted tourists sometimes crowd there in much greater numbers, with some even climbing the poor tree.The Koh Mak Tambon Administrative Organization plans to kickstart an educational campaign to hopefully teach people to conserve iconic landmarks like Thailand’s loneliest tree. It also plans to take more drastic actions, like restricting the number of tourists allowed to visit the island and making the island only accessible in certain seasons.9．The name of the island is related to .A．a lonely tree B．a popular comicC．a controversial selfie D．a threatened tourist10．How is the loneliest tree according to The Nation?A．It is under protection.B．It proves inaccessibleC．It has become less popular.D．It is in a really bad state.11．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．Ways to establish landmarks.B．Measures to advertise the island.C．Responses to the damage from tourists.D．Actions to attract more tourists.12．From which is this text most probably taken?A．A geography textbook.B．A news report.C．A health magazine.D．A travel guide.4.（2023·黑龙江·高三牡丹江市第三高级中学校考）A 70-year-old woman wins hearts with her energetic workouts on Douyin, He Qi reports in Shanghai.Videos on the social networking platform Douyin—also known globally as TikTok—that show men and women with perfect physiques working out or providing fitness tips are commonplace.Trying to stand out from the crowd amid a flood of such videos can often be difficult, but a relatively new account, which has only been active since last year, has managed to do easily. The fitness instructor behind this account is not a young woman with a slim, toned figure that would leave viewers green with envy.The star here is 70-year-old Chen Jifang, a Shanghai resident with 3 million likes on her Douyin videos. She was once even featured on a reality show on China Central Television. According to her trainer, who helped to manage the Douyin account, Chen attracted more than 400,000 followers within just a few months.“The main group that I wanted to encourage was people at ages 30 to 50,” says Chen. “I think they will be motivated to work out in the gym after seeing that a granny like me can. The message I want to convey is that it is never too late to pursue good health.”For Chen, her passion for exercising was born out of a need instead of a desire to become famous. According to Chen, her health had been poor since she was a child. She even had to give up her job after giving birth to her daughter because her health was severely affected by the pregnancy. “In the past, whenever I felt uncomfortable, I would lie at home for an entire day,” says Chen, who used to be a saleswoman in a local company beforeretirement.13．What is the main idea of the text?A．An old woman follows Douyin to work out.B．It is never too late to pursue good health.C．An elderly fitness instructor is well received on Douyin.D．Work energetically, and you can win hearts on Douyin.14．Who are the people Chen intended to target?A．Young women.B．Middle aged people.C．Retired people.D．Douyin viewers.15．When could Chen have started her passion for exercising?A．Since she was a child.B．After she quit her job.C．After she gave birth to her daughter.D．When she became advanced in years.16．Which of the following is true?A．It is easier for an old trainer to stand out on Douyin.B．Viewers may feel more jealous of young women.C．Chen's Douyin account is managed by her trainer.D．It is just a few months since Chen opened her Douyin account.5.（2023·黑龙江·高三哈尔滨市第一中学校校考）Kevin Randall, a teacher,who teaches biology at Grandville High School,runs the environmental club at the high school,which has around 2,000 students.The club is known as the GHS Green Team,and it aims to raise awareness among students and teachers about sustainability(持续性).It also works on projects to reduce the environmental footprint of the building itself.One of the club's recent projects focused on reducing waste in the school cafeteria.Randall said their cafeteria supervisor told them that the school went through 54,000 plastic forks every year.The club applied for a financial help,built recycling centers for the cafeteria,and purchased metal silverware.And now every student uses a durable metal fork or a spoon instead of disposables.(一次性用品),“and that's just one way we're trying to capture the low-hanging fruit,if youwill,"Randall said.The efforts of Randall and his students have earned Grandville High School the Michigan Green School certification from the state.In addition to their work reducing waste in the cafeteria, the GHS Green Team has also built a garden with flowers and vegetables on campus,and leads cleanups on site and out in the community.Over the years,Randall and his students have also been working on raising money to install solar panels(太阳能板) on the roof of the high school.Randall said he was motivated to take the lead on environmental issues for his school because he wanted his students to have someone to turn to in the building who understands what's at stake(利害攸关）when it comes to climate change.＂And I also felt like I needed to do more in my life for my own two children at home," Randall added,"They need to know that their dad is working as hard as he can to reduce the effects of climate change,and to spread the word,and to make sure that other students out there are learning about this just the way they are at home."17．What is the purpose of the GHS Green Team club?A．To inspire students' love for biology.B．To finish the projects assigned by school.C．To prepare students for their future jobs.D．To promote environmental protection.18．What's the result of the project on school cafeteria?A．It has changed the outlook of the cafeteria.B．Students can have more fruits in the cafeteria.C．Plastic forks are no longer used in the cafeteria.D．The school has become famous nationwide.19．What's the fourth paragraph mainly about?A．The classification of the projects.B．The characteristics of the club.C．The activities organized by the club.D．The future of the club.20．What was Randall's aim by doing the work on environmental issues?.A．To educate the young.B．To get material rewards.C．To amuse his children.D．To make himself famous.6.（2023·安徽亳州·高三校考阶段练习）Sagarika Sriram was 10 years old when she started reading newspaper stories about a planet in trouble, one of which was about turtles with plastic in their stomachs. Sagarika knew she needed to do something. First, she joined a group which organized cleanup campaigns in her home city, Dubai “The group helped me understand what an individual can do and how I can really make a difference,” she says.Then Sagarika created Kids for a Better World. It’s a digital platform which has brought together nearly 10,000 youths from all over the world with the goal to create a greener world.Sagarika is now 16. She’s part of a growing number of young climate activists. “We’re the generation that is going to face the results if the climate crisis is not dealt with,” she says. She believes even individual actions can create a “ripple effect”. Sagarika says this can build momentum and can move things in the right direction.Kids for a Better World is for people aged 8 to 16. It teaches them about what they can do to reverse climate change. They can grow food, plant trees, collect recyclables and avoid using plastic bags. “This is the information which can help change our future,” Sagarika says.Dubai is a desert metropolis. Growing up there has made Sagarika very aware of the need for action. Her city faces the risk of rising temperatures and its water supply is shrinking. She believes young people can bring attention to these environmental challenges.Sagarika is all about small actions, but she has big plans. She’d like to go to college in California. While she’s there, she’ll continue being an activist. She’ll also be running Kids for a Better World. She hopes to inspire others to fight for a greener planet. Others have inspired her. “We’re creating our own system of inspirational change-makers,” she says.21．Why did the author mention “turtles with plastic in their stomachs” in paragraph 1?A．To make a comparison B．To give an example.C．To analyze the problem.D．To introduce the topic.22．Why did Sagarika created Kids for a Better World?A．Because she wanted to create a greener world.B．Because she wanted to bring together nearly1000 youths.C．Because she wanted to read newspaper stories.D．Because she wanted to save the turtle.23．What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?A．What can help change our future.B．What people should do at present.C．What Kids for a Better World does.D．What courses are taught on the platform. 24．Which of the following words can best describe Sagarika?A．Generous and friendly.B．Brave and smart.C．Persistent and inspirational.D．Noble-minded and careful.7.（2024·吉林长春·高三东北师大附中期末）Mary Dickins had been a member of the audience at poetry nights before and knew “the poetry clap”. She made a polite tapping of fingers. But when she made her debut (首次演出) as a performer at the age of 62 at the legendary Bang Said the Gun night in south London, she said, “It was so wild — like nothing I had ever seen before.” The audience stamped their feet and shook shakers. “It felt transformative. I thought, ‘I’ve got to have more of this,’ ” Dickins said. Becoming a performance poet has given her a place on a stage of her own making.All her life she has written, mostly without being seen or heard. Her mother died when she was nine, and, after she went into a care home at 13, Dickins’ writing stayed in notebooks. Really, she says, a lot of her adult life has been about getting over childhood shyness. At university — she studied education — she met her husband of 40 years, but in three years of seminars she did not say a word. Some of this results from her years at the children’s home. She says, “It gave me a sense of what it’s like to be excluded. I never fitted in anywhere.”After she graduated, she discovered that she loved working with people with learning disabilities. She became an expert in inclusive education. “That was my niche (称心的职业),” she says. She published books and returned to the University of North London as a senior lecturer in early childhood studies.Dickins now sees that in adulthood she has been giving herself permission to be silly. “The sillier I allow myself to be, the better the writing is,” she says. Her observations are humorous.“Putting things into words and giving shape to your emotions is an important part of coming to terms with the things that happen in life,” she says.Does she still feel like an outsider?“I think I’ve made it into a virtue. I celebrate the fact that I don’t fit into a box. Finally!You have to wait till you’re 62 to feel confident!” she says. “But I have a sense of who I am and I'm proud of it. I wouldn’t be anyone else now — and it took me a long time to say that.”25．How did Dickins feel about her debut?A．Calm.B．Awkward.C．Stressed.D．Encouraged. 26．What led to Dickins’ lack of a sense of belonging?A．Her immature writing style.B．Her experience at the care home.C．Her struggle with her university studies.D．Her difficult relationship with herhusband.27．How does writing benefit Dickins?A．It makes her land a good job.B．It sharpens her sense of humor.C．It enables her to get on well with her life.D．It helps her overcome her learningdisabilities.28．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Mary Dickins’ New Start after 60B．Mary Dickins’ First PerformanceC．Mary Dickins’ Troubled Writing Career D．Mary Dickins’ Impact on Performance Poets8.（2024上·江西鹰潭·高三贵溪市实验中学校考期末）I enjoy throwing stuff away. I’d love to go full minimalism (极简主义), but my wife and two teenage kids do not share my dream of a house with almost nothing in it. I have tried. When the kids were little, I taught them my two favorite games – “Do We Need It?” and “Put It in Its Place”— and made them play every few months. Their enthusiasm never matched mine.If I’m going to be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My “discarded” pile is never quite the trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. I consider this unhealthy. I want to be better at moving on.So, this time I found help—the classics for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Marie Kondo. Kondo’s commitment to her craft is astonishing. Her philosophy is only to keep things you love. Can I go full Kondo? I will try. One central idea is to clean by category. You start by collecting all clothes and gathering them together for consideration. It makes you rethink how you organize. Next, hold each item and ask if it brings you joy. This way you’re choosing what to keep. And that’s how I find myself with allmy clothes on my bedroom floor. My wife walks by and gives me a look that says I’m nuts. She’s probably not wrong.Somewhere near the bottom of this chaos is my special jacket. I move through the pile: pants, shirts, suits and shoes. Then my last category: jackets. I haven’t worn it in about 30 years. Somehow, it has survived. Now, has its time come?I hold it in my hand. There is a tear just below the collar that widens as I hold it. It’s literally falling apart. Will I ever wear it again? Not a chance. Does it feel good to wear? Does it bring me joy? Actually, yes. At this moment, my daughter walks in. She asks about the jacket. I tell her the story. She thinks I should keep it. It’s cool and unique and full of memories. She is arguing that nostalgia (怀念) is the very reason.I’m not entirely convinced by my daughter’s arguments. I believe in looking ahead, not backward. Nevertheless, sometimes it’s hard to let go. So I gently place the jacket on the “keep” pile.29．What can we learn about the author’s family members from Paragraph1?A．They can’t tolerate what the author insists on.B．They are less passionate about full minimalism.C．They are strongly opposed to full minimalism.D．They completely support what the author does.30．What does the underlined word “discarded” probably mean in Paragraph 2?A．abandoned B．disposable C．organized D．classified 31．What drives the author to read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up?A．To learn how to categorize.B．To develop a passion for minimalism.C．To persuade his family members.D．To improve his tidying skills. 32．What’s the text mainly about?A．The importance of categorizing skills B．The changes brought by minimalism C．The author’s efforts to go minimalism D．An inspiration got from the book9.（2024上·甘肃武威·高三统考期末）In an awe-inspiring incident, a young killer whale recently demonstrated remarkable intelligence by seeking assistance from a group of humans to save its trapped mother, which challenged our conventional understanding of wild predators (食肉动物).The online viral video, shared by Alvin Foo, began with a young killer whale emittingdistressing cries towards a group of people on a boat. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the concerned individuals promptly responded by contacting a rescue team. The young whale’s desperate request for help touched more people’s hearts and set a truly extraordinary chain of events in motion.As the rescue team arrived, they were amazed to witness the young killer whale’s playful interaction with the humans. The whale appeared elated, seemingly understanding that assistance had finally arrived. This interaction between the mother killer whale and rescuers underlined the potential for mutual understanding beyond the boundary of traditional predator-prey relationships.The young whale took on the role of a guide, leading the rescue team to its mother trapped in a fishing net. It navigated the water with purpose, as if fully aware that the humans possessed the means to save its mother. This display of intelligence left the rescuers in awe, highlighting the complex cognitive abilities of these magnificent marine creatures. With its guidance, the rescue team swiftly initiated the liberation process, carefully cutting the net to free the trapped whale. Astonishingly, they seemed to understand that the humans were there to help and did as asked.The instant the mother whale was finally freed, an eruption of joyous cries filled the air. The emotional outpouring conveyed the immense gratitude of both the mother whale and the young whale to the humans who had intervened. As the rescue team made their way back to shore, the two whales swam alongside them. This heart-warming sight emphasized the lasting impact of the rescue. The bond formed through this extraordinary rescue operation was well obvious, proving that the profound connections can be established between various species. The journey back to safety symbolized the victory of compassion over adversity.33．What can we learn about the video from paragraph 2?A．It spread widely.B．It went unnoticed.C．It documented humans’ requesting help.D．It recorded passive response to the rescue.34．What does the underlined word “elated” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Tired.B．Excited.C．Frightened.D．Confused. 35．What is the young whale like?A．Wise and cooperative.B．Complex and mysterious.C．Curious and careful.D．Wild and rude.36．What does the author mainly want to convey in the last paragraph?A．Adversity is a good discipline.B．It is urgent to protect wildlife.C．Different species can coexist in harmony.D．Human intervention poses a threat to whales.10.（2024上·甘肃酒泉·高三校考期末）After drawing blood and running a CT scan, the doctor had questions for me. “What is a typical day like for you?” “I am a graduate student with a tight schedule that usually keeps me at work late into the night,” I replied. Next, he turned to diet. I paused when this question came, embarrassed by my answer. “I only have coffee for breakfast. For lunch and dinner, I usually grab something from a fast-food vendor on campus.” The doctor seemed shocked. As more questions followed about my stress levels and lifestyle, my unhealthy state began to sink in.In graduate school, I was fully focused on my project and doing what I could to become a successful scientist. I didn’t feel I had the time or energy to shop for groceries and cook. I stopped exercising and didn’t spend as much time socializing. When I was sluggish, instead of giving my mind and body a rest, I drank energy boosters to maintain my strength and continued to work long hours. As I progressed through my Ph.D．Program, I gained an unhealthy amount of weight. I got tired easily and I often caught colds or the flu. Eventually, the abdominal pains were so bad that they drove me to the emergency room.After hearing the doctor’s warning, I knew I had no choice. I stopped working late into the night, which gave me more time to relax, sleep, and prepare my own meals. I read up on dietary recommendations and began to choose nutritious and healthy foods. I also gave up energy drinks and switched to tea. Many times, I was tempted to go back to my old routine. I placed sticky notes in my office and at home to remind myself that if I didn’t make healthy choices, I’d suffer consequences.It’s been 4 years now and, to my surprise, I have not only noticed gains in my health, but also found it easier to be productive at work.37．What was the problem with the author?A．He did poorly in his studies.B．He wasn’t good at socializing.C．He ignored the doctor’s advice.D．He had a very unhealthy lifestyle. 38．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “sluggish”?A．Cast down.B．Worn out.C．Carried away.D．Left behind.39．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．How the author gradually ruined his health.B．What difficulties the author faced in his studies.C．How the author balanced his life and study.D．What the author did to gain academic achievements.40．What lies behind the author’s recovery?A．Creativity.B．Optimism.C．Self-discipline.D．Co-operation.对高三学生而言，就是要通过训练转化为学生的答题能力。

AWednesday, April 22, marked the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. American Gaylord Nelson launched the first Earth Day in 1970. His aim was to urge local action and increase people's understanding of our planet and its environment. The creation of Earth Day is widely considered to be the beginning of the modern environmental movement.As climate activists prepared for the event this year, an unplanned experiment is changing the planet. Many people continue to stay at home to stop the spread of the new corona virus. As a result, people are making less pollution, and the air has become cleaner.Smog stopped covering New Delhi, one of the world’s most polluted cities. Nitrogen dioxide（二氧化氮）pollution in the northeastern United States has dropped 30 percent. Air pollution levels in Rome have dropped 49 percent compared to a year ago. Stars seem more visible at night.People have also reported seeing wild animals in unusual places. Coyotes (草原狼) have been observed walking in downtown Chicago and near San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. A puma (美洲狮) was seen in the streets of Santiago, Chile. Goats entered a town in Wales and showed no interest in leaving.When people stay home, the Earth becomes cleaner and wilder.Stuart Pimm is a scientist at Duke University in the United States.He said the stay-at-home orders worldwide are "giving us this quite extraordinary in sight into just how much of a mess we humans are making our beautiful planet." Pimm told The Associated Press(美国联合通讯社) that the situation is providing a chance to "see how much better it can be."1. What does the underlined word in Line 2 mean?A. foundB. startedC. continuedD. joined2. What is the aim for people to stay at home?.A. To begin the environmental movement.B. To keep away from the corona virus.C. To get ready for the anniversary of Earth Day.D. To make less pollution.3. How did the environmental pollution change during the spread of the novel corona virus?A.The smog in the USA didn’t cover the cities any more.B. New Delhi was no more one of the world’s most polluted cities.C. You could see more stars in the sky at night during the spread of corona virus.D. .Air pollution levels somewhere in Europe went up nearly 50 percent.4. The report of seeing wild animals in unusual places shows that ____.A. There are more wild animals during the spread of corona virus.B. There is less air pollution during the spread of the corona virus.C. The wild animals were not interested in human.D. The Earth appears to be wilder.5. Which statement is false according to the passage?A.We understand our planet more because of the Earth Day.B. The corona virus does good to the earth environment.C. People had made the planet beautiful.D.The corona virus helps us to understand the earth.答案：BBCDCB(If you still don’t understand how China succeeded stopping the virus, Read this and be forever enlightened.)About the numbersThe numbers are as real as any country or city, who as we can see are also regularly updating and adjusting their numbers.About the masksEVERY person at all times outside wears a MASK. It is mandatory, not optional. What don't you understand about this crystal clear explanation?About the lockdownIf there was not lock downs, the situation would have been a far worse disaster exactly as was happening in Wuhan, Italy and New York, for example.About the death rateBe thankful H1N1 had a very low death rate, but Covid-19 does not. ...You tell me how many would be dead right now instead of 55,000 if for the past 2 months America had done nothing and let Covid-19 spread the same as H1N1. So I get livid when people try to imply and accuse that the Chinese government doesn't care about its people when the situation is the exact opposite. Actions speak louder than words in life and saving lives was the first and only priority here in China, knowing full well that mean falling on the economic sword as a united act of civic duty and sacrifice.Every 3-4 days I went out to one of the two large markets that were open. On entering, they took your temperature and you scan the QR code to trackwhere and when you were so they can back trace who you were in contact with later if you later developed symptoms.More importantly, THIS is what EVERY province across the ENTIRE country WITHOUT exception DID. This was what China's provinces with very few cases did to ensure that the outbreak would stop.So now I want to ask you. DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE SILLY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THERE ARE NO CASES HERE IN CHINA? It is because of extremely disciplined controls. There is no conspiracy, there are no lies.1. According to the passage, which statement is false?A. China reports the numbers about the covid-19 truly very day.B. During China’s lockdown, you must wear a mask if you go outdoors.C. Italy and New York have a disaster as bad as Wuhan.D. Many people died because America had done nothing about the Covid-19 spread in the past 2 months.2. Choose a word to match the meaning of the italic word (斜体字) livid .A. excitedB. tiredC. angryD. happy3. If you don’t scan your QR code, ________.A. you can enter a supermarket.B. people will find who you have met in the past few days.C. people will find where and when you have been in the past few days.D. you will develop some symptoms.4. Why did the writer use the capital words(大写字) in the last paragraph?A. To show his angerB. To show his wonder.C. To show his surprise.D. To highlight （突出强调） his question.5. Which sentence from the passage can tell the main idea of the whole article?A. China succeeded stopping the virus.B. Actions speak louder than words inlife.C. There is no conspiracy, there are no lies.D. I get livid when people try to imply and accuse that the Chinese government doesn't care about its people.答案：CCDAC二、阅读填空题。
高考英语二轮复习 限时专题训练23闻报道型阅读理解 试题
专题限时训练(二十三) [新闻报道型阅读理解](限时：每篇7分钟)(一)MIT researchers and their colleagues are working to find out whether energy from trees can power a network of sensors (传感器) to prevent spreading forest fires.What they learn could also raise the possibility of using trees as silent guards along the nation’s borders to discover potential threats such as smuggled (走私的) radioactive materials.The U．S. Forest Service currently predicts and tracks fires with a variety of tools, including remote automatic weather stations. But these stations are expensive and sparsely (稀疏地) distributed. Additional sensors could save trees by providing better local climate data to be used in fire prediction models and earlier warnings. However, recharging or replacing batteries by hand at very hardtoreach locations makes it impractical and costly.The new sensor system seeks to avoid this problem by developing trees into a selfsustaining power supply. Each sensor is equipped with a battery that can be s lowly recharged using electricity produced by the tree. “A single tree doesn’t generate a lot of power, but over time the trickle (细流) charge adds up, just like ________〞 said Shuguang Zhang, one of the researchers on the project and the associate director of the MIT’s Center for Biomedical Engineering (CBE)． The system produces enough electricity to allow the temperature and humidity sensors to wirelessly send out signals four times a day, or immediately if there’s a fire. Each signal spreads from one sensor to another, until it reaches an existing weather station that sends the data by satellite to a forestry command center inBoise, Idaho.Scientists have long known that trees can produce extremely small amounts of electricity. But no one knew exactly how the energy was produced or how to take advantage of the power.( )1.What are the disadvantages of the remote automatic weather stations?a. They cost too much.b. They are of poor quality.c. They are not enough.d. They can’t reach rem ote places.A．a, b B．b, dC．a, c D．b, c( )2.Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank?A．Far water does not put out near fire.B．All rivers run into sea.C．Many a little makes a mickle.D．It never rains but it pours.C．Tree power in daily lifeD．Developing new energy(二)The crisis at Japan’s Fukushima DaiIchi nuclear energy center has raised questions about the future of the nuclear energy industry. Arjun Makhijani is president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in the United States. He says the disaster in Japan is historic.This week, the chairman of America’s nuclear agency said there is little chance that harmful radiation from Japan could reach the United States. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko also said America has a strong program in place to deal with earthquake threats. No new nuclear power centers have been built in the United States since 1979.That was when America’s worst nuclear accident happened at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania. The accident began to turn public opinion against nuclear energy.To support more clean energy production, the Obama government has been seeking billions of dollars in government loan guarantees to build new centers. Presently, about twenty percent of electricity in the United States comes from nuclear energy. But critics say nuclear power is too costly and dangerous to be worth further expansion.German prime minister Angela Merkel said Germany would close all seven nuclear power centers for a moment while energy policy is reconsidered. The European Union is planning to test all centers in its twentyseven member nations.Developing nations are less willing to slow nuclear expansion. China said it would continue with plans to build about twentyfive new nuclear plants. And India, under a cooperation agreement with the United States, plans to spend billions on new centers in the coming years.Japan has made nuclear energy a national priority since the 1970s. Unlike manymajor economies, Japan imports eighty percent of its energy. The Nuclear Energy Institute said twentynine percent of Japan’s electricity came from nuclear sources in 2021.The government planned to increase that to forty percent by 2021.Nuclear plants supply fourteen percent of global electricity. Nuclear energy is a clean resource, producing no carbon gases. But radioactive waste is a serious unresolved(未解决的) issue.

The research also showed that a large percentage of women started noticing the pounds creeping back on just 21 days after reaching their ideal weight.Yesterday, Dr Ian Campbell of the Jenny Craig Weight Management Program said: “In the UK 61.4 per cent of adults are overweight or obese. Successful weight management requires a longterm commitment in order to lose weight successfully and for good. Dieting can be a real challenge so setting realistic goals and remaining focused on them is important. Otherwise as this research shows, women could end up heavier than when they started.〞The “Food, Body, M ind〞 report was publicized by Jenny Craig who quizzed 2,000 women aged between 18 and 65 who diet regularly on their attitudes, beliefs and behaviors around weight loss. Six in ten said they were on a diet then and one in five women said they were on a “co ntinuous diet〞．It found the most common triggers to start dieting was seeing their “reflectionin the mirror〞， preparing for a summer holiday or unflattering photos posted on social networking sites. Other popular reasons include comments by friends or relatives or their other half.However, the study showed that one in ten give up within one day, while almost a fifth manage to make it to a week or more. The average is ten days. Many blamed pressure they put on themselves to lose weight too quickly for the weight gain, which leaves them with a bigger appetite than normal. Others blamed colleagues, who tuck into fatty lunches and snacks unaware of the effect it has on the dieter, while mothers’ polishing off their children’s leftovers(剩饭)was another common cause of weight gain.( )11.Which of the following might be the best title for this article?A．Three reasons to fail in dietingB．Important things for successful dietC．Obesity—a problem for 61.4% adults in the UKD．Four in ten women gain weight on diets( )12.Women who go on a diet ________.A．are all overweight or obeseB．are likely to gain weight again after reaching their ideal weightC．all fail because they are not persistent enoughD．all end up heavier than when they start to diet()13.The un derlined word “triggers〞in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.A．effects B．examplesC．causes D．imagination( )14.Which of the following is NOT the reason that many people quit dietingvery soon?A．The pressure they put on themselves to lose weight quickly.B．Colleagues who give them fatty lunches and snacks.C．Reflections they see in the mirror.D．Leftovers of children’s taken by their mothers.( )15.In which column of the newspaper do you probably find the passage?A．Health.

高三英语二轮复习话题训练时文报道类（阅读理解）(一)(2010·四川高考)Somali pirates (海盗) robbed three Thai fishing ships with 77 sailors on board nearly 1,200 miles off the Somali coast, the farthestoffshore attack to date, an officer said Tuesday.Pirates have gone farther south and east in answer to increased patrols(巡逻) by warships off the Somali shore. The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force, said a spokesman.The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that the international patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirate activity in the area”．“Once they start attacking that far out, you're not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that ha ve any connection with Somalia.” said an officer, Roger Middleton. “Once you're that far out, it's just the Indian Ocean，and it means you're looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia, from Asia to South Africa.”“This is the farthest robbing to date. T hey are now operating near the Maldives and India.” said another officer.The three ships－the MV Prantalay 11,12，and 14－had 77 members on board in total. All of them are Thai, the spokesman said. Before the Sunday robbing, pirates held 11 ships and 228 sailors.Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes of catching more dollar payments. Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships, the success rate(率) has gone down, though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.1. The pirate attack reported in the text happened________.A. far out in the Indian OceanB. in the normal patrol areaC. near the Somali coastD. in the south of Africa2. According to the text, which can best describe the situation of the pirate problems?A. More goods on board are lost.B. Pirate attacks happen in a larger area now.C. The number of attacks has stayed the same these years.D. Pirate attacks are as serious as before along the Somali coast.3. Which is TRUE about the warship patrols according to the text?A. The patrols are of little effect.B. The patrols are more difficult.C. More patrols are quite necessary even in Asia.D. The patrols only drive the pirates to other areas.4. How many sailors were held by the pirates up to the time of the report?A. 228.B. 77.C. 383.D. 305.答案与解析本篇文章为新闻报道类文体。
