The doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar brown paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing，”Morris wrote.Readers and netizens around the world have been touched by this relationship that crosses national boundaries and focuses on human kindness.“You know that most people in this world just want to live a good life，”one reader commented. “I come from old Ireland, so I can tell you a thing or two about conflict.

Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·安庆模拟)As a child，I was generally happy，singing anddancing to my favorite songs，smiling and laughing with my friends andfamily.But as far back as second grade，I noticed a “darkness”about me.Ididn’t enjoy participating in many things.In middle school，things in my life began to get even worse.I began withdrawing from everything I once enjoyed.I was always tired.Everything was horrible.Finally，midway through eighth grade，I was told I had a chemical imbalance，diagnosed(诊断)with clinical depression，and had to take medicine.It took months for me to feel the effects of the medicine.When I began to feel happy again is when I realized that I had to take the responsibility for getting better myself，rather than relying on medicine.Aristotle said，“To live happily is an inward power of the soul，”and I believe that this quote describes what I had to do to achieve happiness.Happiness is a journey.Everyone seems to need different things to be happy.“The essentials(要素) to happiness are something to love，something to do，and something to hope for，”a quote from William Blake sums up what I believe people need to realize to be truly happy in life.People need love.I feel they need their family and their friends more than anything else in the world.People need work to do，something to make them feel they are making a difference in the world.People need to know that more good is to come in the future，so they continue to live for “now”instead of constantly worrying about the bad that could come.Love and hope are happiness.【解题导语】作者根据自己克服抑郁症的经历总结出了幸福生活的要素。

Elgin,Illinois,United States.During that time,the 18-year-old developed an appreciation for his hometown,whether it was its high school,museum,or its history.After Olson recently moved to Chicago as he prepared for his first year of studies at Columbia College,he wrote an open letter to Elgin.“It has been a meaningful journey to travel through the years of our city,” he wrote.“To learn exactly where we came from,where these parks and landmarks,people and traditions,all came from.”Recently,Olson talked about his decision to write a heartfelt letter to his hometown and its residents.“If I didn’t do the documentaries,Elgin might have left a different impact on me,” he said.“I would have written more of a ‘thanks for letting me live here’letter rather than my ‘thanks for allowing me to experience Elgin’.”The letter shows Olson as a teen curious about Elgin’s past.He remembers the Elgin veterans (老兵) he interviewed for a project,and how they served in the US army.He wishes he could see “iconic (标志性的) structures” in their heyday (全盛期),such as the Elgin National Watch Company.One of his dream projects is to document former Elgin National Watch workers and what it was like living and working in Elgin in the 1950s,he said.He also wrote about how he hopes he could see Elgin High School in the old days,when “students crowded the front steps made of old brick”.The Elgin teen’s love for the city may come as a surprise to adults and teens alike.Olson said he understands teenagers have so much on their minds that the past,present and future of their hometowns is not at the forefront (最重要的).Olson is aware of the reputation Elgin has locally.But Elgin,like other communities,has its shareof challenges,with residents and others fighting to make it the best it can be.“We have to keep Elgin’s spirit and history alive as long as we can,because it’s our hometown,”Olson said.4.When Olson moved to Chicago,.A.he had little idea about his future plansB.he couldn’t wait to

Grant Tower and visit the battlements and prison cells.A café and the visitor centre offer modern facilities in historic surroundings.TheLochNessCentreFor those who wish to digest the complete history of Loch Ness,this centre is particularly good at documenting the historyof this mysterious stretch of water,including many attempts to search for Nessie,the infamous monster.It also holds curious artifacts(手工艺品) such as the diving suit worn by Lloyd Scott when he undertook his underwater marathon.TheClansmanCentreAt the south end of Loch Ness,this attraction uncovers the truth surrounding 18th-century family life.Audience members get the opportunity to put on Highland dress and there’s a demonstration of how weapons were used.The presentations take place within the recreated interior

us have heard of Aleade history in when he became the first man to climb EI Capitan without ropes or safety equipment.But his mother,Dierdre Wolownick,just became the oldest woman to conquer the famous peak:She reached the top on September 23—the morning of her 70th birthday.Dierdre,the writer and language teacher,decided to take up climbing as a means of connecting more with her son.In ,accompanied by her son Alebing gym and completed 12 routes that first day with his help,but it was months before she worked up the courage to return and practice on her own.Dierdre became committed to the sport,and began to meet friends and sharpen her skills.She scaled(攀登) parts of Half Dome Trail and Cathedral Peak at a time when many people at her age are thinking about retirement and slowing down.The writer would go on to publish a book about her climbing experiences with Aleother’sStory.“As a mother,I am impressed by this role exchange process.Parents and children often wind up changing roles in lifeas they get older,” she writes in her book.“But never,I thought,is that transformation as obviou s as when they climb together.”On September 23,Dierdre and her friends set out in the dark,at 6 a.m.The route is steep(陡峭的) enough to require allfours,grabbing rocks and trees and whatever else will hold the weight.Yet despite all difficulties,the team made it to the top.“It was really inspiring to watch her and then to have her on top with all of us,” said one of Dierdre’s friends.“There was a special look on everyone’s face.We knew where we were.We knew how amazing the moment

corners of national parks and deep in the Arctic Ocean.This is having a troubling effect.In humans,noise pollution has been linked to cardiovascular disease,mental health problems and cognitive impairment in children.In wildli fe,it’s disrupting navigation,mating rituals,communication and can cause hearing loss.“We’re losing the ability to listen to nature without noise pollution,” says sound recordist Matt Mikkelsen.He’s part of the non-profit organization Quiet Parks International,which aims to identify and preserve the planet’s last quiet places.Recently,this took him to Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota.No cars,motorboats,electricity or telephone lines are allowed in the1-million-acre area,making it a strong candidate for Quiet Park status.But listening back to the recording,Mikkelsen can hear the low hum of a commercial jet flying far away.Quiet Parks hasn’t yet decided if Boundary Waters meets its criteria—it’s one of 260 potential sites a round the world that the organization is currently e will analyze the sound recordings from each location and consider them alongside other data.In recent years,the world has been getting louder,with cities and towns eber of beeping cars,whooshing airplanes and cargo ships with blasting horns.But during the COVID-19 pandemic,there has been momentary respite.In ,global air travel was down by 60% and road transport decreased by almost half.Scientists in Europe found that noise caused by humans fell by up to 50% after lockdowns were imposed.“People relished the silence,” says Mikkelsen.“There were no airplanes in the sky and cars weren’t on the street...It was a miraculous thing to be able to hear the world,all of a sudden,free from noise pollution,”he says.Since the start of the pandemic,Quiet Parks says it has experienced a huge surge in interest for quiet places.“I hope that we can take that desire for a world with less noise forward,” says Mikkelsen,“and appreciate the spots we have,where we can go and not experience noise pollution.”8.What does the underlined word “scarce” probably mean in paragraph 1?A.Ordinary.B.Special.C.Rare.D.Typical.9.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A.Why we’re losing the ability to listen to nature.B.How noise pollution affects humans and wildlife.C.Why noise pollution is linked to certain disease.D.How should humans deal with noise pollution.10.What is Mikkelsen’s attitude towards natural silence?A.Supportive.B.Critical.C.Indifferent.D.Ambiguous.11.Where is the te?A.A journal.B.An autobiography.C.A book review.D.A science fiction.D(河南九师联盟开学考)As ice melts in West Antarctica,the ground beneath is quickly rising—a process that could prevent the catastrophic(灾难性的) collapse of ice sheets,according to researchers.A study published in the journal Science provides a glimmer(一丝) of hope for a region affected by climate change.In recent years,several studies have warned that the ice sheet,which contributes to a quarter of melted ice worldwide annually,is very easy to break up.Scientists fear even slightly melting could cause global sea levels to rise by 3 metres.Researchers at the Technical University of Denmark set out to answer how the bedrock underneath the ice sheet of West Antarctica behaves as the ice melts.To study the land,the team analyzed data collected by high-precision GPS equipment positioned on remote rock formations in West Antarctica,which measured movements of the land down to the millimetre over a 10-year period.“After a heroic effort to install and maintain the network of sensors in one of the least accessible places on the planet,the teamhas been rewarded with incredibly valuable data,which tell an incredible story about the Earth,” wrote Valentina Barletta.The team found that the Earth was pushing the bedrock to rise faster than eillimetres:four to five times quicker than predicted.In 100 years,the land could be up to 10 metres higher than it is currently.It is hoped that as the ice melts,the Earth’s crust(地壳) will bounce back much faster than previously expected.In turn,this could stabilize what the researchers described as the “catastrophic collapse” of the ice sheet.Barletta told Newsweek the ice sheet will never be stable if global warming becomes too extreme.“Reducing the greenhouse gas will give the ice sheet a better chance of survival because that would allow some known and unknown feedback to create better conditions for the ice,” she said.12.What happens to West Antarctica as ice melts?A.The ground beneath is getting taller.B.Its ice sheets break up completely.C.Global sea levels rise by 3 metres.D.Climate change comes to an end.13.Why do researchers use high-precision GPS equipment?A.To find out whether the ice sheet is very easy to break up.B.To find out the connection between the bedrock and ice melting.C.To find out what really affects the speed of ice melting.D.To find out when West Antarctica will disappear totally.14.How did the research team feel about the study result?A.Disappointed.B.Sorry.C.Surprised.D.Angry.15.What should we do for the ice sheet’s survival?A.Stop the bedrock from rising.B.Install more high-precision GPS equipment.C.Create more ice for the ice sheet.D.Cut down the greenhouse gas.Ⅱ.七选五(湖南长沙长郡中学模拟)Human bodies were actually designed for walking,a wonderful form of exercise at no

Ⅰ阅读理解(2018·甘肃诊断)The 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics is shared by three scientists, the Royal Academy of Sciences announced in Stockholm on Tuesday. The Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 was divided, with one half awarded to David J. Thouless, the other half to F. Duncan M. Haldane and J. Michael Kosterlitz for “theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter(物质拓扑相变和拓扑相)”．Haldane said he was “very surprised” at the news, adding that he was glad that their discoveries found something previously unnoticed by many, and that they revealed “more possibilities for looking for new materials”. He particularly pointed out that a lot of work was still ongoing.The year’s prize amount is 8 million Swedish krona, and will be split properly between the three winners.The winners are given a sum of money when they receive their prizes, in the form of a document confirming the amount awarded. The amount of prize money depends upon how much money the Nobel Foundation(基金会) can award each year. The purse has increased since the 1980s, when the prize money was 880，000 SEK per prize. In 2009, the monetary award was 10 million SEK. In June 2018, it was lowered to 8 million SEK.If there are two winners of a particular prize, the award money is divided equally between the winners. If there are three, the awarding committee can choose to divide the money equally, or award onehalf to one winner and onequarter to each of the others. It is common for winners to donate prize money to benefit scientific, cultural, or charitable causes.【解题导语】本文介绍了2019年诺贝尔物理学奖的归属以及诺贝尔奖的相关知识，包括奖金的金额、和分配。
