知,它只提供最多5美元的零钱兑换业务。D项中的no more than(不多于)与上句中的up to(至多)意义相近。A项的时间指的是可使用One Day Pass的开始时间,而不是机器开始卖票的时间;B项应该是否定的;C项指为老人提供特殊服务,文中没有提及此信息。

13.At what time does Metrorail stop service on Saturday?

A.At midnight. B.At 3 a.m.

C.At 5 a.m. D.At 7 p.m.

A.It is convenient for old people.

B.It saves money for its users.

C.It can be bought at any time.

D.It is sold on the Internet.

1.35.When paying with a SmarTrip? card,the fare is 1.25.”可知,使用这个卡可以省钱,

故选B项。

15.Which number should you call if you lose something on the Metro?

A.202-962-1195 B.202-962-1100

C.202-637-7000 D.202-637-8000

答案 A

解析细节理解题。根据Travel tips(提示)部分最后一句“If you lose something on a bus or train or in a station,please call Lost & Found at 202-962-1195.”可知应选A项。B项指的是了解更多服务的电话;C、D两项指的是了解更多购买卡信息的电话。

Step Two找出信息句——学会分析

(12题信息句)Bring small bills because there are no change machines in the stations and farecard machines only provide up to 5 in change.

2021届新高考英语一轮复习阅读理解专项训练(3)健康环保类

2021届新高考英语一轮复习阅读理解专项训练(3) 健康环保类 1.From talking robots and video phones to rovers on Mars, technology has become so advanced that the previously impossible seems to occur on a daily basis. And yet – we still have no cure for the common cold. Why can’t we st op the common cold? According to Peter Barlow, a scientist at Edinburgh Napier University in the UK, the main challenge lies in the many different types of cold viruses that are produced by the rhinoviruses (鼻病毒). There are at least 160 types. They mutate (突变) so easily that they quickly become resistant to drugs, or learn to hide from our immune systems. In other words, a single cure isn’t likely to work on every type of cold. However, researchers from Stanford University and the University of California, San Francisco, have found a possible answer. They discovered a protein that the viruses need. Without it, they can’t spread inside your body. To identify the gene which produces the specific protein needed by the viruses, researchers used a gene-editing technique to test all genes in the human genome (基因组) one by one for thousands of cells. These modified (改变的) cells were then exposed to a range of enteroviruses(肠病毒), including the rhinoviruses which cause the common cold. All the viruses were unable to replicate (复制) inside cells without a gene that produces a specific protein, called methyltransferase SETD3. Then, they tested genetically modified mice, which were completely unable to produce the protein. The mice were able to live healthy, normal lives wit hout the protein. “Lacking that gene protected the mice completely from viral infection.” associate professor Jan Carette, from Stanford, told the BBC. “These mice would always die, but they survived and we saw a very strong reduction in viral replication and very strong protection.” Carette said the plan is to find a drug which can temporarily suppress (抑制) the protein, instead of producing genetically modified humans. “We have identified a fantastic target that all enteroviruses and rhinoviruses require and depend on. Take that away and the virus really has no chance.” said Carette. “This is a really good first step – the second step is to have a chemical that mimics (模拟) this genetic deletion.” he added.

B Nowadays, a lot of young people seem to spend much of 5 (they) free time either watching television or playing computer games.

必修四Unit10 Lesson 1 安格斯*伊德莱采访前百万富翁查尔斯雷时。查尔斯说:“谁想当百万富翁呢?我不想。” 很多人一心想成为百万富翁。他们花一半的时间追求致富的方法。另一半的时间则在琢磨一旦富裕起来要做些什么。但是,是否所有的百万富翁真正得到了他们要实现的目标前所想的幸福呢?其实,有些人成为百万富翁后还有其他的烦恼———他们拼命的到的财富,怎样拼命以确保不再失去这些财富。 但是也有人把自己的百万资产置于一边,选择不同的人生的路,查尔斯就是这样的一个人。 16 年前,查尔斯是大学教授,住着一有六个卧室的房子,有着百万的资产,而现在住的则是小宿舍的房间,家具都是二手的,没有任何的迹象表明查尔斯是个富人。小花园边种着几个果树,查尔斯自己种植蔬菜和花,衣服和家具的用品都是从慈善点买的。 但是查尔斯喜欢折中改变。查尔斯对这样的富人的生活方式感到高兴。他不在想做在许多人一无所有的情况下自己拥有一切的那种人,他选择了了把自己的钱财送给别人,他说这样会给他带来快乐。查尔斯说:几年前,我曾经是个百万富翁,但是我意识到世界上还有许多的忍受疾饿的穷人。因此他把所有的钱财捐给了慈善机构,当只剩下两千美元的时候,他将小额的纸散发给当地的贫困街区的穷人,难道他真的举得自己像圣诞老人吗?查尔斯说这么做具有乐趣。 查尔斯相信很多人盼望着挣一大笔钱解除烦恼,然而,大多数的人根本没有挣多那么多的钱,查尔斯*格雷决定退出富人网,他发现拥有少量的钱会给人自由,难道真的没有什么让他依旧怀念的吗?查尔斯答道:“没有,我现在更快乐了。什么也不可能再回到富人的行列——决不可能。” Unit10 Lesson 3 五元钱能做什么?或许你觉得做不了什么,你如果对买包糖果或甜点不感兴趣的话,买课树怎样?确切的说,一棵树在黄河岸迹的树。 每年,大约有16 亿吨泥土流入黄河——这条中国国第二大河流,这些泥土中含有保持该大自然平衡的物质,经年累月,大量的泥土被冲走,导致黄河两岸严重的水土流失,在山西省有些地区,水土流失几乎毁掉了所有的土地,还迫使当地的农民迁移到其他地区去。 控制黄河水土流失是一项巨大的工程,很多人认为这项工作最好靠政府或是国际组织承担,你或许会赞同这样的观点,若真这样想的话,现在到了你重新考虑的时候了。 事实上,你才是阻止黄河水土流失最重要的人物,你知道你的五元钱的重要性吗?首先,你可以用五元钱买一棵树,而这棵树可以使泥土不流失,在肥沃的土地上,当地农民可以种庄稼谋生,农民会用他们种的庄稼赚到钱购买所需物品或服务,这有助于发展地区经济。 还是你不理解你的五元钱有如此大的作用吧?那么,看看下面的事实吧:1997 年期,一项植树计划已使内蒙古就成沙流变成了绿色家园,世界各地的人前来这里观赏这一伟大的成就,另外,这项规划的成功大大的改变了当地人民的生活,试想一下,这一切就是始于五元钱。所以,下次当你的口袋里有五元钱时,仔细想想该怎么花,请记住,你可以用它买树,为了我们的祖国人民以及你自己创造绿色的未来。所以,下次当你口袋里再有五元钱时,仔细想想该怎么花。请记住,你可以用它买树,为了我们的祖国,为人民以及你自己创造绿色的未来。

相关外刊文章阅读 Is Resilience Overrated? I want people to be proud of themselves for being resilient. I just don’t want it to be the only option. Friends, I’m afraid I’m not going to make it when the end times come. I’ve made a list of my skills, and “tough” and “capable” aren’t words that spring to mind. A sample: No. 5: Will pet any and all dogs No. 8: If pressed, can do dishes No. 13: Good taste in books No. 20: Has parking karma No. 23: Most of the time, doesn’t finish whole bottle of wine No. 36 Whatever you feel guilty about, I’ve done something worse, trust me It’s been more than four months of lockdown and I have taught myself nothing new — no recipes, no outdoorsmanship capabilities, no repair techniques. I often reflect on the skills that our frontline and essential workers have, which not only include how to save lives, but also the ability to have pleasant and professional exchanges with other people over an extended period of time. When I compare myself to them, I think: just suck me into the hell fires already, I give up. I am engaged in the status quo. I have not risen above the circumstances. I am not resilient. Although I am not even sure if I know what that word means anymore.
