Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·合肥调研)Life on the street is a constant struggle for homeless people. In times of extreme weather conditions, that struggle becomes even more difficult. Recently, homeless people across Chicago faced freezing to death if they couldn’t find shelter for the night.Thankfully, one local woman refused to let that happen. On January 30, 2018, 34yearold Candice Payne, a local managing broker, was lucky enough to have shelter from the dangerous conditions.“It was －20 ℃，and I knew they were going to be sleeping on ice and I had to do something，”said Payne. Payne started brainstorming different ways she could possibly help. Finally, she decided to see if there were any rooms available at local inns and hotels that she could get to help those stuck on the street.For Payne, her mission was personal. According to Payne, her husband, Carlos Callahan, had lived on the street at one point in his life. Based on his experiences, Payne knew that the homeless people still out on the street desperately needed help and that if she didn’t step up to help, no one likely would.However, when Payne explained what she was trying to do, many of the local hotels refused to allow her to pay for the rooms as they didn’t want homeless people to stay in their rooms. “No one wanted them, but one hotel, the Amber Inn, was nice enough to allow me to buy the rooms，”said Payne.Payne’s selfless act made news across the country. However, she insisted she had never done it for attention. “I am a regular person，”said Payne, who spent thousands of dollars of her own money to help complete strangers. “It all sounded like a rich person did this, but I’m just a little black girl from the South Side.”【解题导语】本文主要讲述了一位普通的芝加哥女士受到她丈夫经历的触动，为防止无家可归者在大街上被冻死，决定为他们订旅馆的房间。
她的无私善举传遍全国。
1．What does the underlined word “that”in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Locals living on the street.B．The homeless freezing to death.C．The extreme weather.D．The shelter for the homeless.B解析：代词指代题。
根据第一段最后一句“Recently, homeless people across Chicago faced freezing to death if they couldn’t find shelter for the night.”可知，最近芝加哥各地的无家可归者如果找不到过夜的地方，就会被冻死。
结合画线词所在句可知，幸好，一位当地的女士拒绝让此发生。
据此可推知，画线词that指代“The homeless freezing to death”。
2．How did Candice Payne help the homeless people?A．By drawing public attention.B．By giving them money directly.C．By taking them to her own house.D．By buying hotel rooms for them.D解析：细节理解题。
根据第三段最后一句“Finally, she decided to see if there were any rooms available at local inns and hotels that she could get to help those stuck on the street.”可知，Candice Payne最终决定为这些无家可归者订旅馆的房间以免他们被冻死，故D项正确。
3．What may contribute to Payne’s nice act?A．Her husband’s past experiences.B．The requests from the homeless.C．Her desire to become famous.D．The coldness of local hotels.A解析：细节理解题。
根据第四段第二、三句“According to Payne, her husband, Carlos Callahan, had lived on the street at one point in his life. Based on his experiences, Payne knew that the homeless people still out on the street desperately needed help and that if she didn’t step up to help, no one likely would.”可知，由于受到她的丈夫无家可归的经历的触动，她决定帮助这些无家可归的人，故A项正确。
4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A Black Fighter Changes the WorldB．A Woman’s Curiosity Brings a RewardC．A Regular Woman Makes a DifferenceD．A Couple’s Brave Act Moves the CountryC解析：标题归纳题。
根据第二段第一句“Thankfully, one local woman refused to let that happen.”和最后一段最后两句并结合全文其他内容可知，本文主要讲述了一位普通的芝加哥女士受到她丈夫经历的触动，为防止无家可归者在大街上被冻死，决定为他们订旅馆的房间；她的无私善举传遍全国。
故C项“一位普通女士的影响”最适合作本文的标题。
B(2020·大连一模)It is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socioeconomic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called“HeadStart”was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into preschool institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing, because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Head Start”children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child’s first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different socioeconomic statuses, ages and family structures. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socioeconomic backgrounds and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socioeconomic backgrounds or family structures. The one factor that was found to affect the child’s development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The “Missouri”program compares quite distinctly with the “Head Start”program. Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.【解题导语】本文主要通过对比两项侧重点不同的教育项目表明，要实现教育公平就应该关注对父母的教育，使其与孩子之间进行高品质互动，并且意识到孩子出生后前三年的重要性。

Designed to do what a fly doesnaturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Itsmini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of its components is off the shelf and we have to develop them all on our own，” said Robert Wood, a Harvard engineering professor.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has lots of interdependence(互相依赖) of the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to，” said Wood.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, offboard power source, the goal is eventuall y to equip it with a builtin power source, so that it might someday perform datagathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around，” he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insectscale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead，” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a daytoday basis.”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

Learn about them all in the below.Attire(服装) and Flowers at College of CharlestonYou fashionista will love this one. During the December ceremony, women wear black dresses and men wear black tuxedos(无尾礼服). During the May ceremony, women wear white dresses and men wear summer tuxedos. It’s also been a tradition since the 1930s to carry flowers onto the stage：women carry bouquets of six red roses in a red bow and men wear a single red rose boutonniere(胸花). So classy!Hoop Rolling at Wellesley CollegeThis allwomen’s college tradition was originally held on May Day, but it’s now held in April. The purpose was to allow students to essentially leave all their worries behind and just participate in some fun games outdoors. Back in the day, it was said that the winner of the hoop rolling race was the first to be married, and in the 1980s she would be the first to be a CEO. Nowadays, the winner would be the first to achieve her own happiness...that is, after being thrown into Lake Waban by all her classmates.Fabric and Green Grad Recycling Program at the University of New HampshireYou’ll absolutely love this tradition.

But fun as lab work is, you have to observe the safety rules if you don't want to hurt yourself or your lab partner.The first rule is to behave responsibly in thelaboratory at all times. When your teacher is showing youlab equipment, listen to what he is telling you, because someof the equipment can be dangerous.Become familiar with your lab assignment (任务) beforeyou start doing it. This means reading everything the teacher has written down and asking questions if you don't understand an instruction or a term.Do not try to work alone. If your partner is absent, let your teacher know so she can assign another student to work with you. And don't do any other experiments other than what you have been assigned. Wear your lab apron (围裙) and safety goggles (护目镜) whenever you are working on a lab assignment. On lab days, wear old clothing that you won't mind getting damaged. Make sure this clothing covers as much of your skin as possible. Keep your hands away from your skin, face, eyes and mouth when you are working with dangerous chemicals.You will be working with fire in the lab with an alcohol lamp. Use gloves when handling hot lab equipment. If you have long hair, pull it back in a ponytail (马尾辫) and roll up long sleeves. Don't put paper, chemicals, lab equipment or any part of your body in the flame.When you use a sharp instrument, treat it with care. Do not point it at yourself or any one of your fellow classmates during the experiment.语篇解读：在实验室做实验专门有味，但也处处存在危险。

2021年高考英语大一轮复习 外研版必修4 Module1 Life in the Future
Module 1 Life in the FutureⅠ. 阅读理解AImagine you enter a car with no steering wheel or no brake. Under a voice-activated command, you say an address. “The fastest route will take us 15.3 minutes. Should I take it? ” You say “yes” and you are on y our way. The car responds (做出回应)and starts moving all by itself. All you have to do is to sit back and relax.How strange would it be if, one day in the future, everyone had such a car? No crazy driving, no quarrels, no cutting in; traffic laws would be respected and driving much safer. On the other hand, imagine the cost savings for local police enforcement (强制执行) and town budgets(预算) without all those speeding and parking tickets.A new technology has the possibility to change modern society thoroughly. There’s no question that self-driving vehicles could be good. The accident statistics would drop: about 94% of road accidents in the U. S. are caused by man. Older drivers and people with disabilities would travel a lot. Keeping safe speeds and being electric, self-driving cars would sharply reduce pollution levels and depend on alternative energy. Roads would be quieter, people safer.But we must also consider the effect of the new technology on those who now depend on driving for their living. The American Trucking Association lists about 3. 5 million professional truck drivers in the US. The companies developing self-driving vehicles should be partnering with state and federal authorities to offer retraining for this large workforce (劳动力).New technologies will, and should, be developed. This is how society moves forward. However, progress can’t be one-sided. It is necessary for the companies and state agencies involved to consider the results of these possible changes to build a better future for all.【文章大意】作者陈述了将来出现无人驾驶的汽车之后的利弊。
