2023届高考英语备考一轮复习资料七选五专题训练题组(1)

全国百所名校2023年高考英语备考一轮复习资料七选五专练题组汇编(一)姓名:班级:得分:A(难度:❤❤❤)When reading Jack Reacher’s novel, I noticed that he would often answer questions with silence. It was very powerful indeed.___1___For some people, silence comes naturally. But there are quite a few of us who need to learn the art of practicing silence. Read on for more reasons to try silence in your daily communications.Silence gets people’s attentionIf you have ever been in a classroom, you have most likely experienced how silence often gets everyone’s attention. When the teacher stops talking, a signal goes to the brain that something has happened.___2__The same is true in our daily conversations. If we fall silent. people will notice it and we gain their attention.Silence uses body languageOften our body language is a more powerful way of communicating than what comes out of our mouth._3____The ability to understand and use body language is a powerful tool that can help you connect with others, express what you really mean, and build better relationships.Silence offers sympathy (同情) for othersThere are times in life when silence offers sympathy and understanding to others. Sometimes we simply don’t have the right words to communicate to someone who is struggling with a hurtful or painful situation. But we can still show them that we care and we are there for them.___4___ Silence is polite____5___From radio broadcasts, news channels, stores to the constant chatter of people around us. So when we do get the chance to talk, we usually feel like we have to fill every thought into a short period of time. However, when we are silent we give others a chance to speak. We show them that they matter.A.We can offer comfort by our calming silence.B.The silence often left the other person puzzled.C.To comfort them, you may tell them a similar painful situation.D.Often the other person would quickly get the needed answer in silence.E.Our facial expressions, eye contact, and even tone of voice speak the loudest.F.We live in a society where we are fighting with so many sources of information.G.All of a sudden you pay attention and wonder why communication has stopped.B(难度:❤❤❤)When you’re behind the wheel, distractions (分心) cost lives. Nevertheless, drivers takeselfies, and respond to text messages. ____1___Smartphones are often at the root of these tragedies. As Big Tech sets its sights on modern vehicles, it’s appropriate to ask if it’s time to limit attention-stealing technology that distracts the driver.Big Tech wants to take on the automotive industry. And it is good at grabbing both attention and information from users. At first, the goal of these technology companies was to give away services at no cost, simply to attract a customer base. ___2__ Their increasing thirst for valuable user information has led them to the automotive industry, where a whole new world of data awaits. Location data, frequent destinations, passenger preferences — such data is found in family cars. ___3___Mobile tech is walled off from vehicle operating systems by software that keeps infotainment (information and entertainment) features away from the mission-critical driving electronics. If auto makers give up their core operating system to tech powerhouses, they will essentially become hardware suppliers to Silicon Valley.___4___ Their responsibility is to keep attention on the road, providing vehicle information and a small amount of entertainment options while getting passengers from place to place as safely as possible. Smartphone makers and digital-media providers don’t have this priority. They want eyes on their products, not on the road.With electric vehicles transforming the auto industry, and artificial intelligence more common than ever, we’re at a dangerous moment. ____5___ Because their hardware is wrapped around families, they have a duty to keep them safe. The only way they can do that is to maintain control of the driver’s seat.The quality, safety and security will make or break trust in auto makers. Without it, cars will be simply one more intrusive and risky mobile device.A.Car companies have priorities opposed to those of Big Tech.B.Now they exist to sell information about their users to advertisers.C.They enjoy the convenience and fun brought by modern technology.D.Car makers are, and should be, the most trusted technology companies in the world. E.Currently video-streaming services are starting to be built into car operating systems. F.And operating systems and autonomous-driving software are all gateways for this information. G.Statistics show that an average of eight people a day die in accidents caused by distracted driving.C(难度:❤❤❤)Some ways to help and protect wildlifeThere are more than 7 billion people on Earth. Imagine what will happen if every one of us is willing to do one thing — no matter how small — to protect wildlife every day. ___1__. Here are some ways to help and protect wildlife.___2__Take a walk and see and enjoy the wildlife all around you — the birds, reptiles and small and large mammals (哺乳动物). Spend more time outside appreciating, enjoying and learning about wildlife.Speak up for wildlife__3___. Call on more people to become concerned about wild animals’ survival. Share your passion for wildlife conservation (保护) with your family. Tell your friends how they can help. Ask everyone you know to stop illegal wildlife trade, wild animals used for entertainment, and much more.Pick up litterPicking up litter can save the life of an animal. Litter isn’t just ugly, it’s harmful. Birds and other animals can trap their heads in plastic rings. Fish can get stuck in nets. Plus, trash pollutes everyone’s natural resources. ___4___.Donate or volunteerWhen you visit your local zoos and nature reserves, pay the recommended entry fee. Your donations help maintain these conservation areas. __5_. Many organizations and zoos have volunteer programs. You can help clean beaches, rescue wild animals or teach visitors.A.Go outside and connect with wildlifeB.Do your part by putting trash in its placeC.Become a voice for wildlife on social mediaD.Find new ways to use things you already ownE.If you don’t have money to give, donate your timeF.Learn more about our planet’s species from expertsG.Even minor actions can have a difference when we all work togetherD(难度:❤❤❤❤)How to get energetic after working hoursAfter a long workday, all you want to do is go home, sit on the couch and turn on the TV. So you’ve planned to go to the gym after work? “I’ll go tomorrow, I promise.” ___1___ Here are some tips for getting yourself to hit the gym after a tiresome workday, offered by Women’s Health magazine:___2__Why not change the “Keep calm and carry on” poster to some inspirationalshape-up-messages around your workplace? If you think “No pains, no gains” is too ordinary, how about “And though she may be but little, she is fierce.”? When your colleagues ask about it, tell them the quote is from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.Eat breakfast.Even though it’s hours before your trip to the gym, having a balanced breakfast will keep you energized throughout the rest of the day.___3___Eat a little lunch.No matter what you’re eating, if you have too much of it, your blood sugar is going to rise rapidly and then drop back down. ___4__ Try to avoid foods with refined carbohydrates or lots of sugar. Keeping your blood sugar steady will stabilize your energy, help you get more done, and feel awake enough to make it to the gym.Set the goal really low.____5__And once you’re at the gym, you might think: “Well, I could probably stay just a little longer.” Also remember, some HIIT (high intensity interval training) workouts are short but very effective. Just search for HIIT workouts online and you can find loads to teach yourself. A.Take advantage of tech.B.This will leave you sleepy and unproductive.C.But of course, tomorrow will be exactly the same.D.This will guarantee that you won’t “forget” to go to workout.E.Decorate your office space with motivational photos or slogans.F.Try to include eggs, fruits and whole grain bread in your breakfast.G.If you make your goal really easy, you won’t feel too reluctant (勉强的) to achieve it.E(难度:❤❤❤❤)At a time like the pandemic, not only do we miss hugs, but we need them. Touching someone reduces our own stress. _1_ . An expert said, “A warm touch is how our systems reach one another. It says we are safe, we are loved, and we are not alone.”__2_ . If you need a hug, take precautions. Wear a mask. Give and take your hugs outdoors. Try to avoid touching the other person’s body or clothes with your face or your mask during a hug.During a hug, the position of the faces matters most. The two of you should point your faces in opposite directions. Quickly approach each other and briefly embrace. ___3_ . And do the hug quickly. When you have finished hugging, back away quickly so you do not breathe onto each other’s faces. Wash your hands afterward.Don’t hug face to face. This position is a higher risk because the faces are so close. When the shorter person looks up, their breath travels up into the taller person’s breathing zone. __4__ if the taller person is looking down.Do let your child hug you around the waist or knees. Hugging at the knee or waist level lowers risk for direct exposure because faces are far apart. However, there is potential for the child’s face to pollute the adult’s clothing. You might change clothes and should wash your hands after a visit that includes hugs with a child. __5___ .“Most hugs last less than 10 seconds. Back away at least six feet before talking again. Holding your breath stops you from exhaling any virus into their breathing zone,” an expert said.A.It calms our nervous systemB.The huggers’ breaths can be mixedC.The shorter person will feel pressedD.Children are those who need hugs mostE.Do not talk or cough while you are huggingF.However,some hugs are riskier than othersG.The adult also should not breathe down on the child全国百所名校2023年高考英语备考一轮复习资料七选五专练题组汇编(一)DGEAF【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

When we eat meals quickly, we miss the feeling of satiety(满足)and we continue eating long before we realize we’re full. However, eating too fast may result in many health problems. 1 So we should slow down our eating with the following four simple ways:● 2 Put down the phone, close the computer, turn off the TV and focus on your food. Pay attention to the taste and temperature of it. Synching up(使同步) your mind and your mouth will help you get more pleasure from the food that you are eating, giving you the chance to notice the good flavor from every bite.●Set the table. 3 Set a place for yourself at the table you feel special. If you sit down and eat your meal, you will be more likely to slow down and enjoy it.●Eat with chopsticks. 4 However, using chopsticks, no matter what food you are eating, can help you learn to put smaller amounts in your mouth, one mouthful at a time.●Chew wisely. Count your bites as you chew. 5 Food that is well chewed will be digested more readily and lead to fewer gastrointestinal(肠胃的)problems.A. Are you eating quickly?B. Don’t do other things during your meal.C. Eating too fast is harmful to our health.D. For example, it can lead to weight gain, experts say.E. Try and take at least 20 seconds to process each mouthful.F. Don’t eat while standing at the counter or while looking through the fridge.G. Using forks and spoons when you eat too fast allows you to take too much per bite.2、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However, crying is a fact of life, and tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, they make a film(薄膜)over the eye’s surface. ①__________ When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. " People worry about showing their emotions, afraid that once they lose control they’ll never get them back. " ②__________Af ter we cry, the feelings that caused the tears often disappear.Sometimes people become much stressed and can’t cry. Whatever emotion t hey are feeling —shock, anger, fear, or sadness, is being held back. But everyone has the need to cry. Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often consists of giving people permission to cry. ③__________Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions. She suggests safe, private places to cry, like under the bed covers or in the car. C rying is a way of easing tension, but people don’t like it when others cry because it makes them tense. ④__________And they’ll do just abou t anything to make you stop.In certain situations, such as at work, tears are appropriate. It's not good to cry during a tense business discussion. ⑤__________You should also act out the whole situation again and be as angry as you like. It will help you feel better.A.

D.Don’t mention it.Ⅱ.阅读理解A(2014·江西八校联考)The forces that make Japan one of the world’s most earthquake­prone (有地震倾向的) countries could become part of its long­term energy solution.Water from deep below the ground at Japan’s tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity.Although Japanese high­tech companies are leaders in geothermal (地热的) technology and export it,its use is limited in the nation.“Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy,” said Yoshiyasu Takefuji,a leading researcher of thermal­electric power produc tion.The disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11,2011 caused a reaction against atomic power,which previously made up 30 percent of Japan’s energy needs,and increased interest in alternative energies,which accounted for only 8 percent.Artist Yoko Ono has called on Japan to explore its natural energy,following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 percent of its needs.For now,geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in Japan,which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power.The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories.Another problem is that Japan’s potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden.“We can’t even dig 10 cm inside national parks.” said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric,adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow.Researcher Hideaki Matsui said,“Producing electricity using hot springs is a decades­long project.We also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decline in the short term.”The Earth Policy Institute in Washington,US,believed Japan could produce 80 000 megawatts (兆瓦) and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology.Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology,with a 70 percent market share.In 2010,Fuji Electric buil t the world’s largest geothermal factory in New Zealand.1.What would be the best title for the text?A.Alternative energies in JapanB.World’s largest geothermal plantC.Japan takes the lead in geothermal technologyD.Japan thinks of geothermal energy2.W hat percentage of Japan’s energy needs is geothermal energy?A.About 8%. B.Below 1%.C.Around 30%.
