B由前两句,可知父母之间有矛盾〞,再根据regarding untidiness and daily routinetasks〔关于不整洁和日常事情〕,对照各选项,只有argument〔争吵〕适合.〔逻辑推断〕3. C由前句的untidiness和后面的clothes thrown on the floor可知,房间是messy〔凌乱不堪的〕.〔逻辑推断；也可将untidiness与messy看作是近义复现〕4. B由上文提到的收拾房间之类的事,应是housework〔家务活〕.〔上下义复现〕5. C 由后面的not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping 可知,这里应是dropping the towel in the bathroom , 一起为blame them的原因.〔逻辑推断,或词语同现,受责备的应都是负面的意思〕6.

B由but可知,要选与understand 〔理解〕相对的scold〔责骂〕.〔词语同现；逻辑推断〕15. C此句是强调结构,是对前两句的总结,一句是说要lend an ear to〔=listen to倾听〕,一句是说要understand 〔倾听〕,所以总结为只有通过倾听和相互理解, 父母与孩子之间的问题才可得到解决〞.〔原词复现〕第二节语法填空〔共10小题；每题1.5分,总分值15分〕阅读下面短文,根据句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或者括号中词语的正确形式填空,并将答案填写在做题卡标号为16~25的相应位置上.Last year, my brother and I went to Miami for a vacation.

One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, up ahead already paid your fare. 〞It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend ;refrigerator:“Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. " The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for d ays, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down.

It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days."Here ' s the idea, “ Anne says. " Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly. Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says,“Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.〞The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later.

Neither did my family.Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application.

I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man.

However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way --- by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heardabout hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes - about 60,000 in total - fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing〔海滩搜寻〕becausewinds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1,600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.41.

How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?A. By collecting information from beachcombers.B. By studying the shoes found by beachcomber.C. By searching the web for ocean currents models.D. By researching ocean currents data in the library.44. Ebbesmeyer is most famous for.A. traveling widely the coastal cities of the worldB. making records for any lost objects on the seaC. running a global currents research associationD. phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea45. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A. To call people's attention to ocean pollution.B. To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean.C. To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.D. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.答案及解析：本文是说明文,介绍了一种研究洋流的特别方式.41. B 词义猜想题.由前面的so many shoes和后面的to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear,特别是sell,可知是建立交易市场,应选B.42. C 细节理解题.由第二段二、三、四句"He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment 可知,选'C.43.

AThe Biggest Stadiums in the WorldPeople have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 8 A.Q., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world's best known stadium are continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and a comfortable seat-tend to keep stadium capacities（容量）slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.•Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang, D.P.R-Korea. Capacity. 150,000. Opened. May 1,1989.•Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U.S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened. October 1, 1927.•Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U.S. Capacity: 106,572.

2021四川绵阳市高考英语阅读明白得、完形填空选练（6）及答案阅读以下四篇短文，从每题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最正确选项。
Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy’s War and Peace, is more than once described as having“fat little hands.” Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse.” He is said to be“undersized, “ with “short legs” and a“round stomach”. The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description—it seems not that far off from historical accounts—but his choice of facts: other things that could be said of the man are not said. We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman. Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose—and that is the point.It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character. And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man. In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812, Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(沙皇), who has come with peace terms. Napoleon is very angry: doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms. He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. “That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war! “ he shouts. And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon“walked silently several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving quickly.”Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner. “He raised his hand to the Russian’s. . . face, “ Tolstoy writes, and“taking him by the ear pulled it gently. . .” To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court. “Well, well, why don’t you say anything?” said he, as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon.Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own.1. T olstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peace is.A. far from the historical factsB. based on the Russian historyC. based on his selection of factsD. not related to historical details2. Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because .A. he thought he should be the one to make the peace termsB. the Tsar’s peace terms were hard to acceptC. the Russians stopped his military movementD. he didn’t have any more army to fight with3. What did Napoleon expect the Russian representative to do?A. T o walk out of the room in anger.B. To show agreement with him.C. T o say something about the Tsar.D. T o express his admiration.4. T olstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is .A. ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guestsB. fond of showing off his iron willC. determined in destroying all of EuropeD. crazy for power and respect5. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?A. A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings.B. A writer may write about a hero in his own way.C. A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.D. A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.【参考答案】1--五、CADDAASports is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging．Criticism（批评）from coaches（trainers）, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes．Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout．Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable．The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself．The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place．Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives．Coaches and parents should be aware（realize）, at all times, that their feedback（反馈）to youngsters can greatly affect their children．Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw（缺点）in themselves．Coaches and parents should also be cautious（careful）that youth sport participation does not become work for children．The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons．In today’s youth sp ort setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport．Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on（pay more attention to）the outcome and find fault withyoungsters’ performances．Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome．Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism．Again, criticism can create high levels of stress（pressure）, which can lead to burnout．1．According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that __________．A．it can help them learn more about societyB．it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC．it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD．it can provide them with valuable experiences2．According to the passage parents and coaches should __________．A．help children to win every gameB．pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsC．enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsD．train children to deal with stress3．The author’s purpose in writing the passage is ___________．A．to persuade young children not to worry about criticismB．to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenC．to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragementD．to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout【参考答案】1—3、DBB阅读明白得---------BWhen a couple decides to marry, they naturally inform both sets of parents and stepparents before having a party planned or telling all their friends．The days are long gone of the man going trembling to the girl’s father and saying, “ Sir, may I have the h onor of having the hand of your daughter in marriage?” However, a wise couple always discuss their plans for marriage with theirrespective families, and a young man often suggests a “financial talk” with his future father-in-law before the latter is faced with the embarrassment of asking for one．Even if a young woman has supported herself and lives away from home, her parents have the right to know how her fiancé proposes to handle the long-range financing of their family and home．The fiancé should state h is income, his savings, and his failure expectations, without overstating any of them．Engagement parties are given by the parents of the bride-to-be or by a relative of the bride acting for her parents, usually just before the newspaper announcement of the engagement．If the bride-to-be and her fiancé live in a city other than her parents, it is better for her parents to go to the city than her to go home to them for the engagement party．She and her fiancé will, after all, be partied in her parents’ hometow n during the wedding festivities．However, if the family home is not far away, it is proper for the engaged couple to travel there for the announcement party．The young man’s family should be invited, too．If the bride’s parents are no longer living, then a r elative or a close friend can give the party．It is usually a simple cocktail’s party, champagne served for toasts to the engaged couple．If the party is very large, the engaged couple and the girl’s parents might form a receiving line---- but they do not have to．The bride-to-be usually wears her engagement ring officially for the first time on this occasion．If she has a gift for the groom-to-be, she gives it to him right before or after the engagement party．For Americans, the traditional engagement ring is a diamond solitaire （单粒宝石）．However, today anything goes---- a ring with many colored stones, a ring with a large semiprecious stone, an heirloom （传家宝）ring reset in a modern design, or even a stone in the bride’s family, simply reset in a Tiffany setting．The wedding ring will be of the same metal as the engagement ring．Some girls prefer no engagement ring but choose a wedding band that is decorated with stones instead．No one has to have an engagement ring．A girl may want her fiancé to give her a pearl neck lace instead, or a jeweledwatch．Jeweled rings can be given as gifts on many occasions during the married lives---- such as wedding anniversaries, the birth of a child, or an important job promotion．4．According to the first paragraph, young men ________．A．must tell all their friends before planning a partyB．used to feel afraid of going to meet their girl friends’ parentsC．must promise that their family could support themD．must guarantee they live away from home already5．The underlined word “one” i n the first paragraph most probably means ________．A．a marriage B．a planC．a financial talk D．an embarrassment6．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．The bride-to-be and her fiancé will have to wait in line with both of their parents．B．If the girl’s parents are dead, a relative or a close friend gives a party on their behalf．C．The engagement party is usually given before the newspaper announcement．D．It’s no longer necessary to give a diamond solitaire as the engagement ring．7．We can infer from the last paragraph that ________．A．a young man can give his wife a jeweled watch on the birthday of their childB．the heirloom must be reset in a modern designC．the engagement ring and the wedding ring are differentD．some girls don’t mind what they are given for the engagement【参考答案】4—7、BCAD【2021界广东省广雅中学高三上第一次月考】完型填空（本大题共15小题,总分值30分）阅读下面短文,把握其大意,然后从所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最正确选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

2021高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（答案及解析）高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（答案及解析）Words：322 难度系数：★★ 建议用时：8分钟If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong.Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power.Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter.This is the area of the brain which processes information.It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr.Andrea Mechelli，from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had lea rnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language，” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales，has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible，”hesaid.“You are actually going beyond lang uage and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34.Reading，writing, and comprehension were all tested.The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world，” explained the scientists. 5．The main subject talked about in this passage is________.
