D.Women’s Fitness.3.What is special about Women’s Fitness?A.The training principle it uses.B.The workout it creates.C.The health and fitness goals it sets.D.The way the class is given.BOne in five children starting primary school in the UK are overweight.By the time they leave school,that figure will rise to one in three.The chance of them being overweight in adulthood,which brings range of associated health risks,is high,at 50%-75%.The root cause of diet-related fatness is no secret:an energy imbalance between the quantity of food being consumed and the level of physical activity being conducted.Addressing this imbalance needs to be,in part,a review of our diet.More fresh ingredients(原料) especially fruit and vegetables,less processed foods and fewer additives(添加剂) are all important factors in building a balanced diet.The Department of Health has recognized that a collective approach,rather than just individual behavior change,is asuccessful way of achieving this.Universal adjustments like a blanket decrease in sugar content influence the way we eat through the choices available to us.Applying this approach to school kitchens makes sense.They have an important role to play in maintaining healthy diets.Offering a school menu packed with fresh ingredients and without artificial additives makes a direct and effective impact on what children eat at school.It’s an area the Soil Association consistently works to handle through its Food for Life program—working with schools to transform food culture,improve food education and encourage lasting changes to the way schools think about food.It works.In Food for Life schools,pupils are a third less likely to eat no fruit or vegetables than those in comparison schools.One way for schools to get involved is a Food for Life Served Here award,which means at least 75% of dishes are prepared on site using fresh ingredients.It encourages local seasonal produce and,at silver or gold level,requires a commitment toenvironmentally friendly produce.At its heart,the award is designed to support health and enhance food understanding.Over 50% of English primary schools have such anaward,already—serving around 1.7 million meals each day to over 10,000 schools and it’s a figure we’ll see grow.4.What does the under lined word “Addressing” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Tackling.B.Ignoring.C.Maintaining.D.Postponing.5.Which approach will work for students to build balanced diet?A.Stopping them eating alone in schools.B.Getting them aware of the harm of fatness.C.Ensuring healthy recipes on school menus.D.Increasing the availability and flavor of food.6.What can we say about the Food for Life program?A.It’s a heavy load on schools.B.It’s complicated to operate.C.It’s a temporary project.D.It’s a fruitful attempt.7.Which type of food may the Food for Life Served Here award promote?A.Sugary snacks.B.First-class sausages.C.High-quality imported beef.D.Freshly picked organic beans.CA new study,published in TheJournalofEmunication interactions that included voice,like a phone call or video chat,created stronger social bonds than communication through typing,like teail.In the study,researchers used various experiments to gauge(评估;判断) connectedness.In one,they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other.Although people anticipated that a phone call would be more awkward,hearing someone’s voice actually made the experience better.However,people who participated in the e asignificantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone versus email,and they did not feel more awkward.In another experiment,the researchers had strangers connected by either texting,talking over video chat,or talking using only audio.They found that both forms of voice communication—whether video or audio only—made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated via teanoff,a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City,says people tend to teail instead of calling because of convenience,as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can “correspond information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person.”Romanoff says that in reality,teake it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation.A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message.Each party is more present,and therefore,able to gauge the meaning behind the content without ruminating on the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation.8.What is the purpose of the study?A.To encourage people to let their fingers do the talking.B.To introduce the effects of verbal and non-verbal communications.C.To demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of making phone calls.D.To compare connectedness of communication through voice and typing.9.Which way will make you feel more connected if you miss a friend far away?A.Typing a letter.B.Sending an email.C.Having a video chat.D.Teessage.10.What does “a controlled form of communication” refer to in Paragraph 4?A.A way to talk about controlled topics.B.A way to communicate without time limit.C.A way to eething without delay.D.A way to express thoughts without being disturbed.11.What advantage does making phone calls have over teore formal.B.Being less awkward.C.Being more straightforward.D.Being less expensive.DTechnology is supposed to make our lives easier,allowing us to do things more quickly and efficiently.But too often it seems to make things harder.This increase in complexity,often called “feature creep”,costs consumers’ time,but it also costs business money.Product returns in the U.S.cost a hundred billion dollars a year,and a recent study by Elke den Ouden,of Philips Electronics,found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrong with them.Consumers just couldn’t figure out how to use panies now know a great deal about problems of usability and consumer behavior,so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable?In part,feature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem:the people who design and sell productsare not the ones who buy and use them,and what engineers and marketers think is important is not necessarily what’s best for consumers.The engineers tend not to notice when more options make a product less usable.And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point,and a new way to attract customers.You might think,then,that companies could avoid feature creep by just paying attention to what customers really want.But that’s where the trouble begins,because although consumers find overloaded gadgets(配件)unmanageable,they also find them attractive.It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tend to think that the more features there are,the better.It is only once we get the product home and try to use it that we realize the virtues of simplicity.It seems strange that we don’t expect feature tiredne ss and thus avoid it.But,as numerous studies have shown,people are not,in general,good at predicting what will make them happy in the future.As a result,we will pay more for more features because wesystematically overestimate how often we’ll use them.We a lso overestimate our ability to figure out how a complicated product works.The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusual problem for companies.A product that doesn’t have enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store.But a product with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.12.What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?A.The benefits brought by the advanced technology.B.The recent study conducted by Elke den Ouden.C.The loss caused by the feature creep of technology.D.Many problems of usability known by the consumers.13.Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A.It is the audience problem that leads to feature creep.B.What matters to designers and marketers is not good for consumers.C.Feature creep brings blessings to the people in marketing and sales.D.The engineers will not pay attention to the quality of the product.14.What do we know about the buyers in Paragraph 4?A.They are deeply convinced that all the products work in a simple way.B.They are fed up with the more and more features of the products.C.They are too confident of their ability to use the complicated products.D.They are quite clear about the products which will make them happy.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Saying No to Feature Creep Is No Easy ThingB.Feature-heavy Products in DemandC.The More Features,the BetterD.Simplicity Outweighs Complemer,many areas of the US have been suffering historic droughts (干旱).Climate change has brought very high temperatures and less-than-normal rain and snow to the country.1 .It also means hot weather,which can be hard to take.2 .Their civilization once thrived (繁荣) with its amazing architecture of pyramids and cities.One of the cities,Tikal,was built in what is now Guatemala.“It was quite a remarkable place,with temples towering above the top of the rainforest,” says Dunning.Although the region is a tropical rainforest,Tikal was built in a place that got little rain for half the year.Additionally,it had no year-round lakes or rivers—although it did have an important spring.The Maya also did not have a system to reach groundwater.3 .“As Tikal grew,people there would have had to cut down parts of the surrounding rainforest to raise food. 4 to meet their needs for wood and other resources,” Dunning says.Dunning compares it to today’s practice of chopping down much larger parts of the Amazon rainforest to raise cattle for beef.He calls this deed “bad for the health of local environment and the global environment,too.”The Maya would have used cut-and-burn techniques and let the forest grow back after a few years.Although they changed the environment with their farming and other practices,the Maya had much less impact on the climate than we do now.The Maya understood that they had to have balance.5 .You’ll pay a price,or someone will.A.If you abuse the world,it’s going to come backB.At the same time,they left enough of it in placeC.So they built tanks to collect and store rainwaterD.They would have served different,important purposesE.That means there is less water to drink and less water for cropsF.Tikal was home to tens of thousands of people during the years 600 to 800G.Thousands of years ago,the Maya people suffered from the same problems选择性必修第三册UNIT5 阅读题组——练速度Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是应用文。

2021版高考英语一轮复习Unit5CanadaTheTrueNorth基础达标练新人教版必修3**阅读明白得A new “smart bin” could mean the end of environment-conscious families spending hours sorting tins, cartons, bottles, and cardboard for recycling.The invention, which can help sort rubbish into recycling categories without needing people to operate. It is being trialed in Poland and is set to go on sale in UK within a few years.The bin, designed by start-up company Bin.E, recognizes different type of waste via a system positioned inside the bin which uses sensors, image recognition and artificial intelligence. Once waste is placed inside, the camera and sensor identify its type and place it in one of the smaller bins. Then it compresses the waste so it occupies less space.It is thought that the bin could be stocked by department stores such as John Lewis, which said it is introducing more new hi-tech recycling bins. Matt Thomas, a buyer at John Lewis, gave us the reason, “We’ve recently seen a jump in specialist bins sales, with a 25 percent increase in the last few months alone. We have noticed our customers are becoming more and more focused on sustainability. In response to this demand, we are really excited to introduce a smart bin this autumn/winterseason-designed to make recycling more efficient and functional for the everyday home."Bin. E’s official release on the market will take place in 2020. However, at first only a larger version designed for offices will be available. The office bin will sell at £ 430 while customers will need to pay a £ 107 subscription fee for an accompanying smartphone app, which hooks them up with collection services. A spokesman at Bin. E said that home version of the bin will be cheaper and will not include a monthly payment.They added: “After the office version, we plan to create an outdoor version and later the home version. We decided to go for the outdoor version for public areas firstbecause it is more difficult to organize an efficient waste segregating system than in our homes.”1.What do we know about abou t a new “smart bin” from the first paragraph?A. It works automatically.B. It has been used widely.C. It is easy to operate.D. It is very expensive.2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The waste.B. The camera.C.

(建议用时:35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·桂林、崇左联合模拟)Jamey Turner often performs to large crowds in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. You can find him playing an unusual musical instrument, the glass harp(竖琴), near Alexandria’s historic waterfront.A glass harp is made up of different­sized drinking glasses, each containing water. Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses. By doing so, each glass makes a different musical sound.Turner is 78 years old now. He became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six, when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table. He has been playing it for 50 years.Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a wooden soundboard. He holds the glasses in place with rubber bands, which keeps them from breaking. He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes. Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound. Adding water to a glass will make a lower sound. The smaller bowls of water produce a higher sound, while the larger ones produce a lower, deeper sound.Turner always uses low­priced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the sound. Before buying new glasses, he will test them in stores.The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Wolfgang Mozart wrote music for the instrument. There have been about 400 pieces of music written just for the glass harp. But Turner plays all kinds of music, even popular music from China. Few people play the glass harp these days, but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the instrument on the Internet. He hopes the next generation will continue making their music.【解题导语】杰米·特纳经常在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大人群密集的地方演奏玻璃竖琴:敲击不同大小的盛水的玻璃杯,发出动听的乐声。

Also, they usually work five days a week for the restof the year.“That’s plenty of time to get great work done. This isall we expect and all we want from people,” says Jason Fried, a co­founder. “Working 50­, 60­, or 70­plus hours is unnecessary.

It is also the intensity(强度) of work. Moreover, it suggests that intense work harms career prospects. That is because unbearable hours and intensity are in the opposite direction, reducing the quality of the work.The research concludes that the level of intensity we apply to the work we do is generally “a stronger predictor of unfavorable outcomes than overtime work”.The research compared people of similar jobs and education levels, and found they were more likely to suffer poorer happiness and worse career prospects, including satisfaction, security and promotion, when they worked at an intense level for long periods.【解题导语】本文以一家总部位于芝加哥的网络应用公司Basecamp的54名员工将近半年时间每周只工作4天,共32小时的情况为例说明了较短的工作周有益于人们的身心健康,并以一项研究来证明。

(建议用时:35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·重庆调研)Ask 9-year-old Annie what the worst thing wasthat ever happened in her house last year, and she won’t tell you that itwas her parents’divorcing, although they did. No, what Annieremembers most are the horrible fights leading up to the announcementabout the divorce which was, as it turned out, despite her parents’anxietyabout telling her, “not that big of a deal”. “I already knew they were not getting along well,”Annie says. “Every night after I went to bed, I would hear my parents fighting. It made me really unhappy. When they finally decided to get a divorce, all that stopped.”Annie’s experience is more common than you might think, and there is a great deal of evidence to suggest that “staying together for the sake of the children”is not what should be encouraged, and may do more harm than good. According to psychologist Lynn Martingdale, hearing their parents arguing is often more stressful for children than separation and divorce, and if you think that your children don’t know that there’s trouble in family, then you’re kidding yourself. The home life of children whose parents have an unhappy marriage is often far from ideal, and what’s worse, parents will compound the problem by taking their unhappiness out on the children.The Center for Moving Forward conducted a study in 2014 in which they followed 25 families whose parents had been in marriage counseling. After tracking these families for 5 years, they found that the children of the parents who eventually got divorced were not worse off than the children of those who remained together, and in some cases fared better. The study took the social and the children’s general sense of well-being into consideration.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。

文章以9岁的孩子Annie的父母由于争吵导致最终离婚的叙述引入主题,接着通过论据论证了“在不幸的婚姻中,离婚并不是最糟糕的事”这一主题。

1.Why was Annie really unhappy according to paragraph 1?A.Because her parents fought every night.B.Because her parents finally got divorced.C.Because her parents decided to abandon her.D.Because her parents got along badly with her.A解析:细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“Every night after I went to bed, I would hear my parents fighting. It made me really unhappy.”可知,Annie的父母每天晚上都吵架,这让她感到很不幸福,故A项正确。

2.Which statement may psychologist Lynn Martingdale agree with?A.Separation and divorce will hurt the children most.B.Keeping an unhappy marriage hurts children more.C.Children can’t understand their parents’marriage well.D.Children can’t feel the unhappiness from their parents.B解析:推理判断题。

根据第二段中的“According to psychologist Lynn Martingdale, hearing their parents arguing is often more stressful for children than separation and divorce”可知,心理学家Lynn Martingdale认为,听父母吵架对孩子来说往往比分居和离婚更有压力,据此可以判断,Lynn Martingdale认为维持不幸福的婚姻会更加伤害孩子,故B项正确。

3.What’s the function of the last paragraph in the passage?A.To give an example of divorce.B.To support Annie’s correct answer.C.To further clear the author’s viewpoint.D.To highlight the importance of the study.C解析:写作目的题。

根据最后一段中的“After tracking these families for 5 years, they found that the children of the parents who eventually got divorced were not worse off than the children of those who remained together, and in some cases fared better.”可知,在对这些家庭进行了5年的跟踪调查后,他们发现,最终父母离婚的孩子并不比那些父母仍在一起的孩子生活得更差,在某些情况下,他们生活得更好。

据此可知,最后一段旨在通过研究进一步说明本文的论点:在不幸的婚姻中,离婚不是最糟糕的选择。

故C项正确。

4.What is the best title for the passage?A.Divorce Is Good for ChildrenB.Divorce Is Not the Worst ThingC.Fighting Is Often StressfulD.Staying Together Is for Children OnlyB解析:标题归纳题。

根据第一段第二句和Annie所说的话可知,对孩子们来说,父母的争吵比离婚更糟糕;结合第二段中的“there is a great deal of evidence to suggest that‘staying together for the sake of the children’is not what should be encouraged, and may do more harm than good”可以判断,本文的主旨是:在不幸的婚姻中,和离婚相比,父母为孩子而在一起给孩子的伤害更大。

最后一段的研究也论证了这一点。

故B项最适合作为本文标题。

【难句分析1】No, what Annie remembers most are the horrible fights leading up to the announcement about the divorce which was, as it turned out, despite her parents’anxiety about telling her, “not that big of a deal”.分析:该句为主从复合句。

句中“what Annie remembers most”为what引导的主语从句;“which was...”为which引导的定语从句,修饰先行词the divorce。

译文:不,Annie记得最清楚的是导致(她的父母)宣告离婚的可怕的争吵,尽管她的父母害怕告诉她,但是正如事实证明的那样,离婚“没什么大不了的”。

【难句分析2】The home life of children whose parents have an unhappy marriage is often far from ideal, and what’s worse, parents will compound the problem by taking their unhappiness out on the children.分析:该句为并列句。

前一分句中“whose parents have an unhappy marriage”为whose引导的定语从句,修饰先行词children, whose在从句中作定语。
