It's an interesting and original form of tourism which will no doubt revolutionize real travel, and even make actual life somewhatdifferent.On the banks of the River Rin, in the city of St. Alban, you can now take a half virtual, half real tour on horseback with the help of a piece of electronic equipment, earphones, and a science-fiction style visor (面罩) which contains a small camera. This modern equipment is called Life Clipper. It is the original idea of both Swiss inventor Jan Torpus, who studied in Barcelona, and German technology expert Nikolas Neecke.According to the instructions for the Life Clipper, once a tourist is equipped, he'll need a guide to assist him to get used to seeing the world8through the visor. Once on the Rin riverbank, the tourist starts his journey with the sounds of the water, which are created by sensors(传感器).From here the tourist travels on foot to theSt. Alban neighborhood, feeling and sensing the view with his hands, nose and mouth. What he sees are images between the year 1000 and the year 1500: carriages, princes, etc.This project sounds like something from science fiction and it looks funny when people in a visor try to touch a horse which isn't there. So far, this tourism has been a success only in Basilea, and will be introduced anywhere else in the world in the near future.This is a fun and unusual way of travelling. Surely it won't be long before we see a new and improved form of Life Clipper - one that isn't just for sightseeing, but also for other parts of our life. For example, instead of taking a bus to the office or university, we just sit at home and put on the visor, feeling as if we were m a different place, and virtual work becomes reality.41.

Paragraph 3 is mainly about __________.A. the history of virtual tourismB. the advantages of virtual tourismC. the ways of attracting more touristsD. how to operate Life Clipper44. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Tourists can get used to seeing the world on their own once equipped.B. Tourists can touch what they see through the visor.C. Life Clipper can make tourists see images of ancient times.D. Life Clipper has been used in other areas of our lives.45. What would be the best title for the passage?A.

2022高考英语二轮(阅读理解)精品练习(07)及解析

2022高考英语二轮(阅读理解)精品练习(07)及解析(**********)Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learn lng to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if cor rected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare (比较) their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathemat ics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time to such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let the chil dren learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.1. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by_______A. listening to skilled people's adviceB. asking older people many questionsC. making mistakes and having them correctedD. doing what other people do答案:D 指导:儿童学习技能的最佳方法是仿照他人所做的情况,篇首以语言习得为例,说明儿童观看、仿照、运用的系列过程。

Have you ever noticed the chairs you sit 1 in cafes or restaurants?Most people don’t pay attention to the cafe chairs they use.However,there is one very simple andelegantly-designed chair, 2 (know) as the “French series”.This chair can be seen more often than any other chair.The original chair was the result of years of experiments.The inventor wanted to produce a chair that could be mass-produced and was inexpensive,but it was only after many trials that he finally succeeded in 3 (make) one.The chair he invented was probably the first one to be both attractive and inexpensive enough for anyone to lions of chairs of this type have been bought since the first one went on sale in 4 1930s.All sorts of people,some famous,some ordinary,have sat on the chair since the original was invented.There are several 5 (reason) for the chair’s enduring popularity.It is great to sit on,and it 6 (look) good;the basic design is still fresh and contemporary.Also,this type of chair seems to improve as it gets older.The glue, 7 holds the chair together,loosens over time,making the chair even more comfortable 8 (sit) on.A further reason is that the chair is cleverly designed with only a few pieces of wood,so the chair parts can 9 (send) anywhere and put together 10 (easy).It is no wonder this type of chair has remained so popular.Even today,furniture designers are still trying to create equally successful designs.Ⅱ.阅读理解【科普知识类】Losing weight comes with a lot of health benefits—including making your brain sharper.Yes,it turns out that overweight may damage cognitive functions (认知功能) such as memory and attention.There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning,possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance.Losing weight,therefore,may help improve these mental functions,according to a new research led by John Gunstad,assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University.Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits (缺陷).So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function.For their study,they measured memory and attention in a group of 150 overweight participants,some of whom had some kind of operation for weight loss and some did not.All of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to assess their abilities of memory and attention at the beginning of the study,and again 12 weeks later.To begin with,about 24% of the patients showed damaged learning and 23% showed signs of poor memory when tested.At the end of the study,those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average range for cognitive functions.Scores for the volunteers who didn’t lose weight dropped even further.The study helped Gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function.Now that he’s seen the positive effect that weight loss can have on memory and attention,he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional way —eating healthier and getting more active.He expects that losing weight in this way will havea similarly positive effect on the brain.“If we can improve the condition with operations,then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well,” he says.1.There is less research on overweight and cognitive functions because researchers .A.believe overweight only affects our bodyB.have focused on ways to sharpen people’s mindC.do not consider overweight a main cause for low cognitive abilityD.are clear about the relation between weight and mental functions2.The result of Gunstad’s study shows that .A.losing weight has little effect on people’s memoryB.losing weight can improve people’s mental functionsC.overweight people are likely to have psychology problemsD.overweight people’s abilities of concentration differ greatly3. What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research?A.Slim people are smarter than overweight people.B.Healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weight.C.Traditional ways of losing weight are better than operation.D.Overweight people will get smarter by taking more exercise.4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Body Weight and HealthB.Losing Weight by OperationC.Ways to Improve Mental FunctionsD.Losing Weight to Sharpen Your MindⅢ.完形填空(2015兰州高三诊断考试)We often see hitchhikers (搭便车的人),standing by the side of the road,thumb sticking out,waiting for a lift.But it is getting 1 nowadays.What killed hitchhiking? 2 is often mentioned as a reason.Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime 3 many drivers off picking up hitchhikers. 4 no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester 5 reflects the safety fear: 6 ,strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.But the reason may be 7 complex:hitchhiking happens where people don’t have cars and transport services are 8 .Plenty of people 9 hitchhike in Poland and Romania.Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the UK means the few people lift hitchhiking are usually considered strange.Why can’t they 10 cars?Why can’t they take the coach or the train?Three-quarters of the UK population have 11 a car;many of the 12 will be quite old.The potential hitchhiking population is therefore small. 13 my trip proves it’s still possible to hitchhike.The people who picked me up were very interesting lawyer,retired surgeon,tank commander,carpenter,man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple 14 in the mountains.My conclusion is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes (家伙) in red,spotted scarves.Most just wanted to do someone a good turn;a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help 15 .The future of hitchhiking most 16 lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet,via sites such as .But for now,you can still stick your thumb out (actually,I didn’t do much of that, 17 just to hold up my destination sign) and people—wonderful,caring,sharing,unafraid people—will stop.In the UK,with its cheap 18 and reasonable rail service,I don’t think I’ll make a habit of it.But having enjoyed it so much,I’m ready now to do a big trip 19 Europe and beyond.In the 1970s a female friend of my wife’s hitchhiked to India.How wonderful it would be to haveanother go, 20 Afghanistan might be a challenge.I wish I’d got that tank commander’s mobile number.1.A.valuable B.hardly C.rare D.little2.A.Fear B.Safety C.Allowance D.Expense3.A.has put B.had been put C.has been put D.have put4.A.What B.Which C.Whether D.That5.A.no more B.no need C.no reason D.no doubt6.A.a short B.a clumsy C.a small D.a large7.A.most B.more C.very D.much8.A.poor B.heavy C.busy D.convenient9.A.seldom B.always C.still D.never10.A.afford B.offer C.affect D.offend11.A.effect to B.effect on C.access in D.access to12.A.remain B.rest C.pedestrians D.citizens13.A.While B.When C.Yet D.Though14.A.living up B.lived down C.was living up D.was living down15.A.stopping B.but stop C.stop D.stopped16.A.likely B.certainly C.positively D.actively17.A.pretending B.preparing C.preferring D.defending18.A.vehicles B.coaches C.cars D.helicopters19.A.across B.through C.for D.over20.A.as B.though C.because D.when活页综合提升练及模拟卷答案活页综合提升练(一)Ⅰ.语法填空语篇解读:本文讲述了一种设计简单却不失优雅的椅子。

训练7 阅读理解+完形填空+语法填空+短文改错(建议用时45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解If your parents were to surprise you with a present on your birthday,which one would you prefer,a trip to the amusement park or a new pair of shoes?According to Science Daily,about onethird of the people are likely to prefer shoes to a fun trip.These people are called “materialists”,namely,those who value material goods more than experiences.But which of the two choices makes people happier?Back in 2009,Ryan Howell,a professor at San Francisco State University,found that in the long run,experiences make people happier than possessions.This is because the joy of receiving a new object fades over time as you get used to seeing it every day.Experiences,on the other hand,can continue to bring you joy in the future through happy memories.But materialists should at least be happy when they first buy something,shouldn’t they?To figure it out,Howell did another study.He classified a group of adults according to their personality types,ranging from less materialistic to more materialistic.Each person was asked different questions to see how they felt about spending money on material goods versus spending money on experiences.As expected,the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases than the less materialistic,because such purchases didn’t fit with their personalities and values.But to Howell’s surprise,he found that materialists weren’t any happier even if they spent money on material items.This is because materialists worry that others may criticize or look down on their choices.“There are certain value systems that are rejected by society,” said Howell.“When we find out someone is materialistic,we think less of them,and that drives their happiness down.”Another reason is that materialistic pe ople always focus on what they don’t have instead of what they have now.This makes them feel less satisfied and grateful.If you happen to be a materialistic person,there’s something you can try.“If materialists make more accurate purchases,rather than trying to impressothers,they will be happier,” Howell said.You should also remember what an ancient Greek philosopher once said,“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”1.What did Ryan Howell find in his studies?A.Material goods bring people less happiness than experiences.B.About onethird of the people prefer material goods to experiences. C.Materialists have more fun spending money on goods than on experiences. D.Receiving a new object brings lasting joy while the joy of an experience fades soon.2.What did Ryan Howell want to find out by doing another study?A.How to judge whether a person is a materialist.B.Why materialists are not happy with their purchases.C.How materialists feel when they spend money on goods.D.Whether materialists are happy when they first make purchases.3.Why does the author use the ancient Greek philosopher’s words in the last paragraph?A.To advise materialistic people not to try to impress others.B.To persuade people to be satisfied with what they have.C.To prove it’s unwise to be materialistic and desire too much.D.To tell readers what they desire now might one day become theirs.4.What can be the best title for the passage?A.Are You a Materialist?B.How To Acquire Happiness?C.The Best Present for the BirthdayD.Which Can Make people Happier?【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文,作者通过引用Ryan Howell的研究结果证实经历比有形物质更能给人带来快乐。

It's 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears.I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom.I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It's not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it's o kay to just say “no”. I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.?What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that redu ces daily anxiety, increases selfconfidence and energy,extends life and above all improves my body shape.This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right.It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.一个每天按时起床锻炼身体的女人,一个有着自己个性与喜好的女人,为了保持自己的体型,降低压力,提高自信,坚持着这种日复一日的锻炼,让自己每天都挂着笑容面对生活。

Ⅱ.阅读理解【现代科学类】Leon McCarthy,12,was born without fingers on his left hand.That didn’t stop him from being able to do many tasks.But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time.So Leon’s father,Paul,created a prosthesis(假肢),using a 3D printer.Now Leon has fingers that open and close.“It was a do-it-yourself,father-and-son adventure.”says Paul.When Leon was a baby,his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens.“The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with.”says Paul.As Leon got older,his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand,which can cost as much as $30,000.Paul found a more affordable solution.One day,Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand,a prosthesis created with a 3D printer.He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand’s creators for advice.They told him all he needed was a 3D printer—which costs around $2,000—and some materials.Luckily,Leon’s school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon.“We used a soccer shin guard(护胫), cardboard,and tape.They cost about $10.”says Paul.With his new hand,Leon can do things better.“I can help my mom more,because now I can carry two grocery bags.”he says.Leon’s father has already built several hands for Leon.Leon helps design each one.He says there’s one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis.“The goal,”he says,“is to be able to tie my shoelaces(鞋带).”1.Why did Leon’s doctor disapprove of his using a prosthesis in his childhood?( )A.The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.B.A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.C.To master the disabled hand was important.D.The original hand could do many tasks.2.Leon’s father managed to get Leon a new hand by .A.collecting money on the InternetB.buying a prosthetic handC.purchasing a 3D printerD.printing a hand3.The materials used for Leon’s hand can be described as .A.cheap and commonB.strange and valuableC.personal and lovelyD.basic and solid4.What’s the best title for the text?( )A.A DIY EnthusiastB.A Helping HandC.A Great AdventureD.A Lucky Escape语篇解读:本文是记叙文。
文章讲述了一位父亲用3D打印技术为儿子制作假肢的故事。
答案及剖析:1.C 细节理解题。

Think of conversation openers,like introducing yourself,giving a compliment,or asking a question.Being ready with a conversation starter (or a few) makes it easier to approach someone.Rehearse (排练)what you want to say.3. Practise it again and again,maybe even in front of a mirror.Then just do it.Don’t worry if it’s not exactly like what you practised or if it’s not perfect.Few of the things more confident-seeming people do are perfect either.Next time,it’ll be even better because it will be easier.4. Find group activities where you can be with people who share your interests.Give yourself a chance to practise socializing with these new people,and get to know them slowly.People who are shy often worry about failing or how others will judge them.So treat yourself like your own best friend.Encourage yourself instead of expecting to fail.Most of all,be yourself.It’s OK to try out different conversational approaches you see others are using.5. Being the real you—and daring to let yourself be noticed—is what attracts friends.A.It’s important to make friends.B.Then branch out into doing this with new friends,too.C.Give yourself a chance.D.Write down what you want to say in advance.E.Often,the hardest part of talking to someone new is how to get started.F.But say and do what fits your style.G.Shyness is an obvious shortcoming.答案及剖析:1.B 根据本段第一句“Start small with people you know.”此处“new friends”与之对应。
