ReadingASocial customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago,it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a womam in your country? Or doesn't it matter? What about table manners? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should you leave one on your lap,or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example,in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman,and so will most Americans. If a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock,the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable,especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a formal dinner party. When the food was served,one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked,but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.1.If one has accepted a dinner invitation,what should he do if he is to be late for the dinner?A.He should find an excuse.B.He should ask for excuse.C.He should say“sorry”.D.He should telephone to explain his being late.2.“It would have been bad manners to make his guests feel foolish or uncomfortable.”“Bad manners”means ______.A.ugly B.dishonest C.impolite D.shameful3.Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?A.Social Customs and Behaviour B.Social LifeC.American and British Customs D.To be on time Is Important4.According to the text,the best host ______.A.tries his best to make his guests feel comfortableB.makes his guests feel excitedC.tries to avoid being naughty to his guestsD.tries to avoid being foolish5.Which of the following do you think the author of this article may agree with?A.The guest who ate his peas with a knife.B.The other guests who were amused or shocked.C.The host who picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.D.None of the above.BIn the United States many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.Yes,when one becomes rich he wants people to know it. And even he does not become very rich,he wants people to think he is. That's what "Keeping up with the Joneses" is about. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American by the name of ArthurMomand. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things to keep up with their neighbors: they try to look as rich and as successful as their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it "Keeping Up with the Joneses",because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. That is one reason why they read the "right" books,go to the "right" universities and eat in the "right" restaurants.Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are "Joneses" in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses,because no matter what one does,Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.1. Why,according to the passage,do many people try to keep up with the Joneses?A. Because they want to be as rich as their neighbors.B. Because they feel proud to be taken for the Joneses.C. Because they want others to know or think they are rich.D. Because they are afraid that others will know they are rich.2. Why did Arthur Momand use the name "Jones" in his stories?A. Because many rich people in the U.S. are named Jones.B. Because few rich people in the U.S. are named Jones.C. Because the name sounds funny and impressive.D. Because there are many people in the U.S. whose family name is Jones.3. What does the author refer to when he says the "right" books?A. Books that other people around are reading.B. Books that teach people how to get rich and successful.C. Books by famous and successful writers.D. Very expensive books.4. What does the author mean by "Mr. Jones always seem to be ahead"?A. It seems Mr. Jones is always walking ahead of others.B. It seems one can never keep up with all the people around.C. It seems Mr. Jones is a very rich man.D. It seems one has to work very hard to get rich.5. What is the author's opinion?A. It is funny to try to keep up with the Joneses.B. It is necessary to keep up with the Joneses.C. It is hard to keep up with the people around you.D. It is senseless to try to keep up with the people around you.CHow long can a person live without breathing? Probably for only four to six minutes. The air we breathe in supplies the oxygen that is necessary for keeping every part of the body alive. And the brain,which itself controls breathing,is the first to suffer if oxygen is lacking. I f no air enters the lungs,the heart will continue to beat for a little longer,supplying the blood to the brain and other parts of the body. But soon,the supply of oxygen already in the blood is used up.First,the patient loses consciousness,because the brain is no longer getting enough oxygen to work. Then lack of oxygen in the heart causes it to stop beating. Without oxygen,the brain can survive undamaged for only about four minutes. The heart may survive for as long as 12 minutes. But within six minutes the person will almost certainly be dead.1.The oxygen that our body needs comes from ____.a. the ire we breathe inb. the moving bloodc. the beating heartd. the working brain2. If no air enters the lungs,______.a. The heart will stop beating immediately;b. the brain is the first to suffer;c. the blood can continue to move a long time;d. a person will stop breathing3. According to the passage we can conclude ______.a. the heart is more important than the brainb. the brain can continue to work a little longer than the heart without oxygenc. the brain stops working before the heart does without oxygend. if a person stops breathing it means he is dead4. In which order will the following happen without oxygen?a. The heart stops beating.b. The brain stops working.c.A person is completely dead. d. A person loses consciousness.A. b,a,d,c,B. a,b,d,cC. d,a,b,cD. d,b,a,c5. Oxygn is carried to every part of the body by _______.a. the lungsb. the heartc. the bloodd. the brainIV.

(2013·东北三省三校第二次联考,D)Deception (骗术) is something that people do all the time, and it plays an important role in military (军事的) strategy. Now some researchers are trying to figure out how to get robots to do it, by looking at the behavior of squirrels and birds.At Georgia Tech, a team led by Ronald Arkin, a professor at the School of Interactive Computing, studied the literature on squirrels hiding their acorns (橡果). Squirrels will hide their food in a certain place, but when they see other squirrels trying to steal from them, they attempt to fool the thieves by running to a false location.Ronald Arkin and his Ph. D. student Jaeeun Shim used that as a model for robot behavior. They programmed the robot into tricking a “predator (捕食者)” machine by doing what a squirrel does: showing the enemy a false location for an important resource.The team also looked at how other animals—in this case, a species of bird called Arabian babbler—drive off predators. A babbler will make an alarm call when they see a predator and other babblers will join the bird and make more calls. They then surround the predator, all the while flapping (拍打) wings and making noises. The babblers don't ever actually fight the animal they want to drive off; they just make enough noises and flaps around enough so that it seems that attacking a babbler isn't worth it.They found that the deception works when the group reaches a certain size—essentially, when enough birds arrive to convince the enemy that it's best to back off. Davis modeled that behavior in software using a military scene and found that it worked even if the group didn't have the firepower to confront the enemy directly.The military is interested in this because a robot that can fool an opponentis a valuable tool. It could lead an enemy down a false trail or make itself look more dangerous than it actually is.文章大意:本文是一篇议论文。

课时分层作业(九)Ⅰ.阅读理解AScientists recently discovered that pictures on cave walls at Creswell Crags are the oldest known in Great Britain.But they didn't find out in the usual way.Archaeologists often date cave art with a process called radiocarbon dating.The technique can measure the age of carbon found in charcoal (木炭) drawings or painted pictures.Carbon is an element found in many things,including charcoal and even people.But in this case,there was no paint or charcoal to test.People carved the pictures of animals and figures into the rock using stone tools.The scientists had an “aha!” moment when they noticed small rocks stuck to the top of the drawings.The small rocks must have formed after the drawings were made.“It is rare to be able to scientifically date rock art,” said Alistair Pike,an archaeological scientist at Britain's Universit y of Bristol.“We were very fortunate that some of them were covered by stalagmites (石笋).”When a test proved that the stalagmites formed 12,800 years ago,the scientists knew the art underneath them had to be at least that old.And some of the animals shown,like the European bison,are now extinct—another tipoff that the art is quite old.The artists came to Creswell Crags.This place is one of the farthest points north reached by our ancient ancestors during the Ice Age.At that time,much of the North Sea was dry,so people could move about more easily.Some tools and bones found there are 13,000 to 15,000 years old.They show that the travellers hunted horses,reindeer,and arctic hare.Their artwork is similar to art in France and Germany.It tells scientists that the Creswell Crags artists must have had a close connection to the people several thousand kilometres away—another important clue to understanding how humans spread out across the world.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

The joke that causes a burst of laughter from one listener might be met with a puzzled look from another.In general, you should avoid jokes at any business or social gathering where there are more than two people in your conversational group. If there are only two people—and they consist of you and your best friend—go ahead and tell it.Admittedly, a few people possess a perfect sense of timing, appropriateness, and joke delivery. You are probably not one of them. You might be quite funny and have many great jokes. But there’s a place for jokes—over dinner with family, hiking with friends, but business or social affairs with colleagues and acquaintances are not it. It takes a whole other level of joke-tellingability to put a joke into the more formal conversations.The best jokes come into the conversation so that by the time listeners realize a joke is in progress, the punchline (结尾语) that produces humour is being delivered—to their surprise and delight.Jokes don’t translate well when you’re in a group with mixed backgrounds: those whose first language is not English, those who might not understand a special term or an “in” expression, young people who wouldn’t catch a reference to some bi t of culture familiar to older people—and vice versa (反之亦然).Never joke about another person in the group—about their name, habits, hometown, profession, appearance, or past. It’s not a question of whether the joke is cheery or appropriate. No one enjoys being singled out this way. When you are the subject o f the joke, the laughter doesn’t feel good no matter how hard you try to tell yourself they’re not laughing at you. Because that’s what it feels like.What do you say if you realize your joke upset someone? Apologize as briefly and as sincerely as you can, and hope that someone changes the subject. Try saying: “I’m sorry. I should have known better” or “I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking.”What do you do if people don’t get your joke or don’t appear to find it as funny as you do? First, do not retell it, only lo uder this time, hoping the point of the joke will be seen. Second, don’t try to push people to get it. People do not like people whose jokes they don’t understand. They feel stupid and need to blame someone. If you want to leave with the goodwill of your listeners, say something to make them feel less foolish. You could say: “I don’t know why I tell jokes when I’m so poor at it.”The world needs laughter, and good humour is a success wherever it goes, so this caveat (告诫) about joke-telling is not meant to dampen high spirits or to advocate dull conversation. If you’re a gifted story-teller and you know people love your jokes, go for it. We need your kind. The rest of us will save our jokes for family and close friends.36. According to the passage, it might be appropriate for you to tell a joke at a business or socialgathering if ______.A. only you and your best friend are involved in the conversationB. you have complete confidence in your listeners’ sense of humo rC. the joke is well chosenD. the audience consists of your colleagues and acquaintances37. Why do some jokes fail to work?A. Because the punchline is too long to catch.B. Because the joke-teller uses wrong words and expressions.C. Because the joke-teller and listeners don’t share the same background knowledge.D. Because the jokes are not properly translated into the listeners’ native language.38. How will people feel when they are joked about?A. They will feel happy if the joke is a pleasant one.B. They will be upset no matter what kind of joke it is.C. They will enjoy the joke when realizing that people are not laughing at them.D. They will panic because it makes them the center of attention.39. Which of the following best describes the writ er’s opinion on joke-telling?A. Nobody knows what makes a joke funny.B. We should not tell jokes unless we are asked to do so.C. Jokes should be told only to friends and family members.D. Joke-telling is a very complex thing.BHotel InformationThe following activities are offered for guests of the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel.

IQ Fun Zone helps children below 7 to cultivate their team spiritCFive or six years ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention. A professor who conducts research over in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we can’t see what we can’t see, our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing (投掷) basketballs back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.Everyone except me. I’m dyslexic (患阅读困难症的), and the moment I saw that tape with the confusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander. I became curious, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla (大猩猩) walked in among the players. She (we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera, beat her chest with her fist, and then went away while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped, the professor asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had counted 13, 14, and congratulated those who’d scored the perfect 15. Then he asked, “And who saw the gorilla?”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so. He’d set us up, trapping us in our own attention blindness. Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasn’t the one who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.Attention blindness is the fundamental organizing principle of the brain, and I believe that it presents us with a great opportunity. My take is different from that of many neuroscientists: Where they see the shortcomings of the individual, I sense an opportunity for cooperation. Fortunately, given the interactive (互动的) nature of most of our lives in the digital age, we have the tools to control our different forms of attention and take advantage of them.It’s not easy to admit that everything we’ve learned about how to pay attention means that we’ve been missing everything else. It’s not easy for us logical, intelligent, confident types to admit that the very key to our success—our ability to discover a problem and solve it, an achievement obtained in all those years in school and beyond—may be exactly what limits us. No one ever told us that our way of seeing left out everything else.43. Which of the following is true about the writer when the tape was played?A. Like everyone else, the writer was counting carefully.B. The writer had difficulty keeping track of the tossers’ movements.C. The writer showed great curiosity about what the players were doing.D. The writer tried hard to stop her mind from wandering.44. What’s the tota l number of basketball tosses by the players in white shirts in the video?A. 13.B. 14.C. 15.D. 30.45. Most of the people failed to notice the gorilla in the video because _____.A. they focused on the basketball tossing onlyB. they were trapped by the basketball playersC. they did not know what they were supposed to doD. they did not listen to the lecture carefully46. In the writer’s opinion, attention blindness ______.A. should be viewed as a shortcoming of the individualB. might be overcome if we can discover problems and solve themC. makes it possible for us to work together for a shared purposeD. helps us to become logical, intelligent and confident types of peopleDAre you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it as half full? Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that things generally turn out for the best? Do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? If you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. You may be successful at work and in love.But you may be misguided because things don’t turn out for the best. You may believe that when one door closes another one opens (for example, you may fail to obtain a new job; another chance will come around soon). Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams (砰然关上) in your face. That’s bitter reality.Now a book has been published which confirms what pessimists (悲观者) have suspected all along. It’s called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for the things by setting low outcomes for themselves. They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, “What’s interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very succ essful people, so their low opinion of the situation’s outcomes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better.”So far, so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to have a back-up plan. There are many sayings in English urging caution. For example, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” And “Don’t count your chickens until they hatch.” To have a con fident and optimistic approach to life’s problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien, the American comedian says, “Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.”There are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. Don’t feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist. But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.47. What’s the passage mainly about?A. The benefits of defensive pessimism.B. A book that has recently been published.C. The dangers of being too optimistic.D. How to become successful in life.48. The underlined sentence “This is not rocket science” (Para. 4) means __________.A. there is no real proofB. it is quite simple to understandC. the cost is not so highD. it’s not a dangerous thing to do49. Which of the following English expressions would a defensive pessimist believe?A. Whatever will be, will be.B. The glass is half full not half empty.C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.D. Every cloud has a silver lining.50. The writer would probably describe himself as __________.A. a realistB. an optimistC. a defeatistD. a scientist第四部分:任务型阅读(满分10分)All That Noise Is Damaging Children’s HearingMichael became hooked on headphones in his early teens. He walked in the streets of Brooklyn day after day with his favorite music blasting directly into his ears. By his early 20s, Michael had lost much of his upper-range hearing.The Children’s Hearing Institute reports that hearing loss among children and young adults is rising in the United States, and that one-third of the damage is caused by noise.Surrounded by NoiseWe live in a noisy world. Young and old alike are beset by sounds over which we may have little or no control: power mowers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, car and house alarms, sirens, motorcycles, Jet Skis, loudspeakers, even movie previews.We attend rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports events at which the music is so loud you can hardly hear the person sitting next to you. At home, televisions, stereos and computer games are often turned up so loud that listeners cannot hear a doorbell or a telephone. Many “modern” restaurants have chosen noise enhancement instead of abatement(减轻). Any time you need to shout to be heard by someone near you, your hearing is most likely to be in a decibel(分贝) danger zone.As if environmental noise were not enough, now we surround children with noisy toys and personal listening devices that can permanently damage their hearing. Toys that meet the safety standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials can produce sound up to 138 decibels, as loud as a jet taking off. Yet workplace rules enquire hearing protection for those exposed to noise above 85 decibels.Protecting Young EarsBefore buying noisemaking toys, parents would do well to listen to how loud they are. If the toy comes with a volume control, monitor its use to make sure it is kept near the lowest level. Consider returning gifts that make loud noises, or disable the noise-making function, or limit the use of noisy toys to outside play areas.Children who play computer games and stereo equipment should be warned to keep the volume down. Time spent in video arcades, where the noise level can be over 110 decibels, should be strictly limited. Most iPods have a control that allows parents to set a maximum volume.Don’t take children to loud action movies. If you do go and the sound seems deafening, ask the management to turn down the volume or insist on your money back. Children who play in bands and teenagers who use power tools, gardening equipment or guns should be made to wear hearing protection, available at sporting goods stores.The League for the Hard of Hearing urges parents to encourage participation in quiet activities, like reading, watching family-oriented films, doing puzzles, making things with construction toys, playing educational computer games, drawing and painting, and visiting libraries and museums.“中国梦”已经成为一个社会热点话题,根据央视的社会调查,不同的人群有不同的梦1. 对所给提示逐一陈述,适当发挥,不要简单翻译。

For whom is the text most probably written?A.Travel agent.B.Advertisers.C. Parents..D.Children.BMany years gao I worked in an office with large windows facing a busy overpass (). When things were hard, I would stand by the window and wave to the passengers who looked up. The strange looks made me laugh and stress was washed away.Co-workers began to take an interest in my behavior. They would stand from view, watch the reactions I received, and laugh along. Late afternoon was the best time — rush hour traffic filled the overpass with cars and buses. It didn’t take long to attract a group of staffs who passed the window every day and looked up at the strange waving man.After a while, waving became boring, so I changed ways. I made signs: “Hi,” “Hello,”“Be Happy!” and posted them in the window and waved. I stood near the window in various poses, made faces, stuck out my tongue, and once went into the walkway over the street and danced while co-workers pointed to let fans know I was there.Christmas approached, and job cuts were announced. Several co-workers would lose their jobs,and everyone was feeling low. Stress in the office reached a high. During the break, I hid from my co-workers, slipped into the costume, walked bravely to my desk, sat down, and held my belly, as they gathered around me laughing when my manager was walking through the door. He held his stomach, and tears formed in his eyes. It was the first time I had seen them smile in weeks. He said, “Mike, thanks! With the job cuts it has been hard to enjoy the Christmas season. Thanks for the laugh, I needed it.”24.Which of the following words can best describe the author according to Paragraph 1?A.Optimistic.B.Pessimistic.C.Generous.D.Clever.25.Why was late afternoon the best time?A.Because the author could attract many more people and make them relaxed.B.Because the co-workers would be more interested in his behavior.C.Because there were so many cars and bused then.D.ecause the author was free at that time.26.Who was/were probably interested in the author’s behavior?A.The passengers.B.The drivers.C.The manager.D.The workmates.27.How did the author finally make his workmates and manager laugh?A.By shaking and hitting the manager.B.By his humorous and funny acting.C.By letting his co-workers gather around him.D.By putting pressure on his manager.CTraffic noise can shorten your life, new research suggests. Having to endure rumbling lorries, honking horns and screeching tyres has been linked to shorter life expectancy and a higher risk of stroke.People surrounded by daytime traffic noise louder than 60db (分贝)were 4 per cent more likely to die than those where noise levels were 55db – roughly the level of a loud conversation.The extra deaths mostly involved heart or artery disease - which could in turn be linked to raised blood pressure, sleep problems and stress brought on by noise.The study also found that adults living in areas with the noisiest daytime traffic were 5% more likely to be admitted to hospital for stroke than those from quieter neighbourhoods. For the elderly, this increase in risk rose to 9%.The scientists looked levels of road traffic noise between 7am and 11pm, and at night between 11pm and 7am, across a range of different postcodes and correlated(使有相互关系) their findings with death and hospital admission rates. A number of factors - including individuals' age and sex as well as ethnicity, smoking levels, air pollution and socio-economic deprivation - were taken into account.Commenting on the findings, Professor Francesco Cappuccio, chair of Cardiovascular Medicine and Epidemiology at the University of Warwick, said: “The results do not imply a direct cause-effect relationship. However, they are consistent with other evidence to suggest a possible causal link.”“It has been well established that nocturnal(夜间的) traffic noise disrupts sleep quantity and quality. If sustained over time, these disturbances, like sleep deprivation, have been associated with a 12% increased risk of all-cause mortality, mainly due to a 15% increase in strokeevents and high blood pressure. Public health policies must pay more attention to this emerging evidence. ”said he.Given what we know about traffic emissions increasing heart disease, we should remember that travelling by foot or bike is definitely healthier - both for you and for the people around you.28.The noise of can be lighter than 60db.A.rumbling lorriesB.screeching tyresC.loud conversationsD.honking horns29.What does the underlined word “sustained” mean?A.Restrained.B.Maintained.C.Resolved.D.Mistaken.30.What can we learn from Professor Francesco’s words?A.Walking and bike-riding will not increase heart disease.B.Traffic noise in the daytime is less harmful than in the evening.C.Someone may live healthily without being influenced by traffic noise.D.Traffic noise can cause a 15% increase in stroke and high blood pressure.31.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Traffic noise directly leads to stroke.B.The extra deaths mostly involved noise.C.Traffic emissions are more serious than traffic noise.D.Traffic noise has something to do with high blood pressure.DI’m not a hater. I admire those who write, read and love first person point of view. So why did I write PRETTY DARK NOTHING in third person? The answer is simple. It’s the way the storyand the characters presented themselves to me. It’s part of my unique voice.Maybe my love of third person comes from all those years reading epic(叙事诗) fantasy. I do think my reading preferences influence how and what I write. There’s something about third person that brings a story to life in a way that first person can’t because of its limited view of the characters. I love the richness of language, the depth of the world, the exploraion of emotion and conflict on a broader range that third person allows me. It’s about diversity.I’m not saying you can’t have rich language or depth in first person point of view. You absolutely can, but it is a challenge, just as writing in third makes it harder to create the same close feeling you get from telling and reading a story in first. Where first person explores the inside out, third tends to give a little more room to pull the camera bake and explore the external. To me, you get the best of both worlds. It gives you enough distance so you don’t feel like you’re experiencing the story through a single prism(棱镜)and yet it’s close enough to help the reader connect to the character and feel as if they’re on the journey with them.In the end, there is no right or wrong. Both points of view have their strengths and their weaknesses. All writers must work to find the right balance and to seek their own voice. At the end of the day, it’s all about the story. If the story is great, it doesn’t matter which point of view it’s written in.32.What hsa an effect on the writer’s writing style?A.Her parents.B.Her life experience.C.Her reading preferences.D.Her friends.33.What do we learn about first person from the text?A.It allows the writer to use richer language.B.It is easier for the writer to create close feeling.C.It can express the characters’ feelings more diversely.D.It hels the writer to explore the world more deeply.34.What does the underlined expression “At the end of the day”mean?A.After the sun has set.B.After thinking for a day.C.When a day is over.D.When you consider everything.35.How does the writer sound when expressing her opinion?A.Anxious.B.Humorous.C.Objective.D.Reserved.第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)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。

Ida smashed into Louisiana as a Category 4 hurricane, ripping off roofs, knocking out transmission lines, flooding roads, and reducing some brick buildings in downtown New Orleans to rubble. At least eight people died in the storm and the toll is expected to rise as emergency workers search wrecked homes and businesses.One of the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the U.S. mainland, Ida brought a 5 to 12-foot storm surge that covered low-lying communities in southeastern Louisiana. Grand Isle is now “uninhabitable,” said Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng, with 3 feet of sand covering the entire barrier island and 40 percent of the buildings completely destroyed.The storm caused a citywide blackout in New Orleans, but a Hurricane Katrina-level disaster was avoided there, thanks in part to the $ 14.5 billion spent on new levees, seawalls, and pumps after the 2005 storm. Experts are warning that Ida could worsen the Covid crisis in the Gulf Coast, as residents crowd together in homes and emergency shelters without immediate access to testing or medical care. ICUs in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama hospitals were already near capacity be- fore the storm hit. Nearly 1 million people are still without power across Louisiana, and authorities waned it could be weeks before electricity is restored. “If you have already evacuated,” said Gov. John Bel Edwands, “do not return here.”;10. Which of the following best describes Hurricane Ida?A.Mild. B.Destructive. C.Uncontrollable. D.Impressive.;11. What does the underlined words “the toll” mean in Paragraph 1?A.The death number. B.The heat wave.C.The wind speed. D.The citywide blackout.;12. What is one of the reasons for Grand Isle to be uninhabitable?A.The entire island is covered with sand. B.It is one of the low-lying communities.C.The residents there can't wait to leave. D.Over half of its buildings were in ruins.;13. What can be inferred about the attitude of Gov. John Bel Edwards towards the prospect of Louisiana?A.Ambitious B.Undoubted. C.Indifferent. D.Unconfident.CPangolins (穿山甲) are the most trafficked (非法交易) mammals in the world and are facing extinction. To draw attention to these scaly (有鳞片的), anteater-like animals, a new wildlife documentary, Eye of the Pangolin, is attempting a u nique way to inspire action and conservation. Partnering with the non-profit organization Pangolin. Africa, the documentary was made available on YouTube in May 2019. The intention is to reach communities wherever the Internet is available, especiallyAfri can communities, who live near the animal’s habitats.Over two years, the documentary crew traveled to South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic and Gabon in search of the four unique species of pangolin, which has never been achieved before. Filmmakers Bruce Young and Johan Vermeulen say that they went into the shoot knowing relatively little about pangolins, but grew to respect and appreciate the animals. Getting close to the creatures over two years was a crash course in these secretive creatures. Johan Vermeulen said, "One thing however that might seem unimportant is that they are actually quite fussy eaters. You would think they would eat any type of ant, but they all prefer a specific type ant."Pangolins are hunted illegally across Africa for their scales, which are used for traditional medicine, and their meat. In April 2019, Singaporean customs officials conducted two separate seizures of 24 tons of pangolin scales, which equals to the death of 69,000 pangolins.Though the documentary focuses less on the trafficking of pangolins, and more on the animals in their natural habitat, the aim of the documentary is to inspire viewers around the world to call for action to end trafficking and protecting these unique creatures.Filmed on location in South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic, and Gabon, this powerful documentary is the story of two men on a mission to get all four species of African pangolin on camera for the very first time.14. What is the purpose of the documentary?A.To study the situation of pangolins.B.To collect fund to protect pangolins.C.To raise awareness of pangolin protection.D.To propose setting up pangolin reserves.15. What is the meaning of the underlined word “fussy” in paragraph 2?A.Picky. B.Messy.C.Showy. D.Heavy.16. What’s the documentary mainly about?A.The illegal trade of pangolins.B.The medical function of pangolin's scales.C.The life of pangolins in their natural habitats.D.The efforts of Pangolin, Africa to save pangolins.17. Where is the text most likely from?A.A brochure. B.A diary.C.A novel. D.A magazine.三、七选五阅读Ways to Boost Your Emotional Health by Improving Your Confidence Taking care of your emotional health is as important as taking care of your physical body. 18 When you feel good about yourself, it's much easier to cope with life's little ups and downs as well as bigger events.

2021届全国新高考英语考前冲刺阅读强化限时集训(九套,含答案解析,新高考省份适用)阅读强化训练(一)(建议用时:25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解Teens suffering from depression are not likely to tell parents straight up, and they may use confusing language to describe their feelings, researchers said. According to Daniela DeFrino of the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine and College of Nursing, teens rarely stated they were depressed, but they often described their feelings like,“I’m down.I always find somehow to go back to stressful mode.”“Parents can easily overlook these expressions or link them to regular stress,”said DeFrino.“But sometimes there is so much more under the surface that can lead to depression.”DeFrino and colleagues went through deep interviews done with 369 teenagers t aking part in an ongoing health study paid for by the National Institute of Mental Health.The teens, considered at risk for depression, gave indirect clues to their state of mind.These teens are reported feeling angry, a loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy, and either sleeping too much or having trouble sleeping.In terms of the reasons,most mentioned homework pressure and expectations of success.Teens whose moods had worsened talked about arguments with parents, verbal(口头的) and emotional abuse.Twothirds of the teens had visited doctors for health problems.“Doctors, nurses and other medical providers need to be aware of the opportunities to care a child’s mental health,”DeFrino said.“Teens may be experiencing a lot of internal struggles and difficult life stresses, which need our examination with sensitive questioning and understanding,”DeFrino explained.“In this way, we can find children’s mental health problems and help deal with them in advance.”【解题导语】患有抑郁症的青少年通常会通过间接方式表达自己的抑郁倾向,这一点应引起家长和医护人员的重视。

The second annual National Technology Scan conducted by Park found that the main reason why potential customers say they do not subscribe to the Internetis because of the low value to their daily lives rather than concerns over cost.Forty-four percent of these families say they are not interested in anythingon the Internet, versus just 22 percent who say they cannot afford a computeror the cost of Internet service, the survey showed. The answer “I’m not surehow to use the Internet” came from 17 percent of participants who do not subscribe. The response “I do all my e-commerce shopping and YouTube-watching at work”was cited by 14 percent of Internet-access users. Three percent said the Internet doesn’t reach their homes.The study found U.S. broadband adoption grew to 52 percent over 2021, up from 42 percent in 2020. Roughly half of new subscribers converted(转变)from slower-speed, dial-up Internet access while the other half of families had no prior access.“The industry continues to chip(击破)away at the core of non-subscribers, but has a long way to go,” said John Barrett, director of research at Parks Associates. “Entertainment applications will be the key. If anything will pull in the holdouts, it’s going to be applications that make the Internet more similar to pay-TV,” he predicted.41. What does the underlined word “holdouts” in the first paragraph most probably mean?A. some American familiesB. those who hold out one’s opinionsC. those who have been surveyedD. those who still haven’t access to the Internet currently42. Many potential customers refuse to subscribe to the Internet mainly because _________.A. they show too much concern about the costB. they can find little value of itC. they do most YouTube-watching at workD. the Internet doesn’t reach their homes43. From the passage we can infer that ________.A. It is not an easy job to transform those holdouts into the Internet usersB. people will adopt dial-up Internet access no moreC. many Americans enjoy doing e-commerce shopping at homeD. more than half of the population are using the Internet in 202044. According to John Barrett, what is the key to attracting more U.S. familiesto broadband service?A. making the Internet look more similar to TV setB. applying the Internet more to entertainmentC. providing more pay-TV programsD. chipping away at the core of non-subscribers45. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Web develops with technologyB. The present situation of webC. Many Americans see little point to webD. It is urgent to promote web serviceBAgainst the supposition than forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space.This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone(臭氧)levels increased, and ash from the fire fel加v zq44597253一包烟钱随意打赏搞定所有稀有系统资料l on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.”Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.46. According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may _______.A. result in a warming climateB. cause the forest fires to occur more frequentlyC. lead to a longer fire seasonD. protect the forests and the environment there47. The following are all the immediate effects after a forest fire EXCEPT _________.A. large amounts of greenhouse gases enter the atmosphereB. the levels of ozone which is a type of oxygen increaseC. snow on the ground mirrors more sunlight back into spaceD. ashes from the fire fall on the ice surface and take in more radiation from the sun48. Earlier studies about northern forest fires _________.A. analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climateB. indicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphereC. suggest that people should take measures to protect environmentD. suggest that the fires will speed up climate warming49. The underlined phrase “soak up”in the last paragraph most probably meansA. releasedB. absorbedC. createdD. distributed50. From the passage we can draw a conclusion that forest fires in Alaska, Canadaand Siberia may __________.A. warm the climate as the supposition goesB. allow more snow to reflect more sunlight into space and thus cool the climateC. destroy large areas of forests and pollute the far-off sea iceD. help to gain more energy rather than release more energyCKincaid looked at his watch: eight-seventeen. The truck started on the second try, and he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route 20.Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt unpressed stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory snapshots.” The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turne加v zq44597253一包烟钱随意打赏搞定所有稀有系统资料d north at Spokane, picking up U.S. Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog ,a golden retriever, maybe ,for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal .Still ,he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. “I must get a dog then.” He said to himself.Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood. The dog was part of it .Robert Kincaid was alone as it’s possible to be—an only child ,parents both dead , distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them, no closefriends.He thought about Marian .She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fifty-two now , that would make her just under forty .Marian had dreams of becoming a musician ,a folksinger .She knew all of the Weavers’songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle .When he was home in the old days, he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience while she sang.His long absences—two or three months sometimes—were hard on the marriage .He knew that. She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married ,and both of them had a vague(not clear) sense that it could all be handled somehow. It couldn’t when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and ,she was gone . The note read, “Robert ,it didn’t work out ,I left you the Harmony guitar. Stay in touch.”He didn’t stay in touch .Neither did she .He3 signed the divorce papers when they arrived a year later and caught a plane for Australia the next day. She had asked for nothing except her freedom.51. Which route is the right one taken by Kincaid?A. Bellingham—Washington 11—Puget Sound—U.S Route 20—U.S Route 2—DuluthB.
