2．How much may they pay at least if Mr and Mrs Smith from Chicago visit a beach?
A．＄364. B．＄435.
C．＄579. D．＄657.
解析：选B 细节理解题。由于夫妇是来自Chicago，所以是Clearwater Beach，Airfare应当是71×2＝142，另外酒店费用是293一晚，所以最少应该是293＋142＝435。

(2022·南京、盐城二模)That competition keeps prices down is well known.But it is hard to measure by just how much, because prices vary for all sorts of reasons, from differences in labour costs and rents to taxes.Rising to the challenge is a new paper in The Economic Journal by Giacomo Calzolari, Andrea Ichino, Francesco Manaresi and Viki Nellas，economists at the European University Institute, Bologna University and the Italian central bank.They looked at pharmacies (药房) and specifically at customers who may be particularly easy to rip off: new parents.
Using data for to covering about a fifth of pharmacies in Italy, the researchers measured the way in which prices of hygiene products for babies changed as the number of babies varied.They took advantage of a peculiar law from the 1960s, according to which regions with at most 7,500 people are allowed just one pharmacy (supposedly to keep the quality of services high)．They compared prices in places with populations just below this threshold, and just above.
The products studied included some 3,000 varieties of shampoos, bath foams, baby wipes, creams and so on.Many are also used by adults on themselves.Some people, for example, prefer suncream labelled “for children” because of its high level of protection.When raising prices for these products, even a pharmacist with a monopoly (垄断) must consider the risk that adult users will switch to products that are not aimed at children.But a rise in the number of babies, and hence buyers who are parents, could tip_the_scales towards price increases.By contrast, the pharmacist should already be charging as much as parents are willing to pay for products without adult users, such as nappies.
The scholars found that pharmacists raised prices when there were more new parents —but only in regions with a single pharmacy, and not for nappies.In monopoly areas a doubling of the number of babies from one month to the next (not unusual in a small population) coincided with a 5% increase in the price of the basket of babyhygiene products.
The study is timely.Italy's government has started to loosen some of the many restrictions that stop competition in the pharmacy sector (though not yet the one that the researchers relied on)．But such regulations are plentiful in many other lines of business, and not just in Italy.The consumers who pay the price are often those who find it hardest to travel to shop around —for example, people with crying babies on their hands.
3．What's the purpose of the study?
A．To review the function of the special law for pharmacies.
B．To make clear the relation between competition and prices.
C．To collect the information on pharmacy business in Italy.
D．To gather the data on hygiene products for babies in Italy.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句和第二句“That competition keeps prices down is well known.But it is hard to measure by just how much, ... ”可知，大家都知道竞争会导致价格下降，但是很难具体测量竞争到底影响了多少价格，所以研究的目的是为了搞清楚竞争和价格之间的关系。
4．The underlined phrase “tip the scales” in Paragraph 3 means “________”．
A．push the move B．keep the level
C．control the rise D．break the balance
解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据本文的主题以及常识可以知道婴儿多了，家长(要购买)会推动价格上涨。push the move “推动价格上涨”。
5．The government's new measures will greatly benefit ________.
A．pharmacy owners B．local merchants
C．new parents D．adult users
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，怀抱婴儿的家长不方便到远的地方去买儿童药品，所以在药店比较少的地方容易被宰。放宽一些禁止医药行业竞争的政策，同一个地方会有更多的药店，有利于降低药价，所以父母们会受益。
C
(2022·镇江一模)The latest IPCC report does not mince words (直言不讳地) about the state of our planet: we must act now to achieve global change at a scale that has “no documented historical precedent (先例)” in order to avoid the climate disaster that would result from a 2 degree C rise in average global temperature.Climate change already affects the world's most helpless people including poor rural communities that depend on the land for their livings and coastal communities.Indeed, we have already seen the clear asymmetry (不对称) of suffering resulting from extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, wildfires and more.
So far, advocates and politicians have tended to focus on reducing fossil fuel (矿物燃料) consumption through technology and/or policy, such as a sharp carbon tax, as climate solutions.These proposals are, of course, essential to reducing manmade carbon emissions (排放) — 71 percent of which are produced by just 100 fossil fuel companies.
Yet the international focus on fossil fuels has overshadowed (使……显得不重要) the most powerful an d costefficient carboncapture technology the world has yet seen: forests.Recent scientific research confirms that forests and other “natural climate solutions” are absolutely
essential in reducing climate change.In fact, natural climate solutions can help us achieve 37 percent of our climate target, even though they currently receive only 2.5 percent of public climate financing.
Forests' power to store carbon dioxide through the simple process of tree growth is staggering：one tree can even store an average of about 48 pounds of carbon dioxide in one year.Recent research show undamaged forests are capable of storing the same amount of the carbon dioxide emissions of entire countries such as Peru and Colombia.
For this reason, policy makers and business leaders must create and strengthen ambitious policies to prevent deforestation, and support the sustainable management of standing forests in the fight against climate change.Protecting the world's forests ensures they can continue to provide essential functions aside from climate stability, including producing oxygen, filtering water and supporting biodiversity.Not only do all the world's people depend on forests to provide clean air, clean water, oxygen, and medicines, but 1.6 billion people rely on them directly for their livelihoods.
A．will surely achieve at a scale that is more serious than ever before
B．will only affect people living in the poorest rural regions
C．is likely to lead to more frequent extreme weather events
D．is entirely determined by fossil fuel consumption
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Indeed, we have already seen the clear asymmetry (不对称) of suffering resulting from extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, wildfires and more.”可知我们已经看到了由飓风、洪水、干旱、野火等极端天气事件造成的痛苦很显然是不对称的，也就是越来越多了。
7．What's the finding of the new research?
A．Reducing fossil fuels is the most powerful and costefficient technology.
B．Forests are vital to reducing climate change due to their storage power.
C．Most of our climate targets can be accomplished with the help of natural climate solutions.
D．Natural climate solutions have proved less efficient than conventional solutions.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“Recent scientific research confirms that forests and other ‘natural climate solutions’ are absolutely essential in reducing climate change.”，可知森林和其他“自然气候解决方案”对于减少气候变化是绝对必要的；再根据第四段第一句“Forests' power to store carbon dioxide through the simple process of tree growth is staggering”可知森林之所以能够减少气候的变化，是因为其极强的吸附储存二氧化碳的能力。
8．The underlined word “staggering” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A．astonishing B．speeding
C．embarrassing D．shrinking
解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据画线单词后面的解释“one tree can even store an average of about 48 pounds of carbon dioxide in one year ... the same amount of the carbon dioxide emission of entire countries such as Peru and Colombia”可知树木吸收二氧化碳的能力显然是非常惊人的。
9．What's the author's purpose of writing this article?
A．To compare two different approaches to dealing with climate change.
B．To argue against the view that focus on fossil fuels reduction counts.
C．To urge scientists to do more research into natural climate solutions.
D．To point out forests are the most powerful weapon for fighting climate change.
解析：选D 写作意图题。文章先说明气候变化的严重程度，然后指出现在人们往往注重于减排而忽略了森林的重要性，然后通过说明森林在吸收二氧化碳上的惊人能力来引起人们对于植树造林控制气候变化的重视。所以文章的写作目的显然是为了说明森林是对抗气候变化最有力的武器。
D
(2022·苏州一模)When Stephen Dennis, a retired homebuilder in Bellevue, was raising his two sons in the 1980s, he never heard the phrase “screen time”， nor did he worry much about the hours his kids spent with technology.When he bought an Apple Ⅱ Plus computer, he considered it an investment in their future and encouraged them to use it as much as possible.
But things have changed with his grandkids and their Snapchat and Twitter.
“It almost seems like an addiction，” said Mr.Dennis, “In the old days you had a computer and you had a TV and you had a phone but none of them were linked to the outside world but the phone.You didn't have this omnipresence (无所不在) of technology.”
True, the anxieties these days seem particularly severe — as, of course, they always have.Smartphones have a highly customized, 24/7 presence in our lives that feeds parental fears of antisocial behavior and stranger danger.
What hasn't changed, though, is a general parental fear of what kids are doing out of sight.In previous generations, this often meant kids wandering around on their own or slipping out at night to drink.These days, it might mean hiding in their bedroom, chatting with strangers online.
Less than a century ago, the radio set off similar fears.“The radio seems to find parents more helpless than did the funnies, the automobile, the movies and other earlier invaders of the home, because it cannot be locked out or the children be locked in，” Sidonie Matsner Gruenberg, director of the Child Study Association of America, told The Washington Post in 1931.She added that the biggest
worry radio gave parents was how it interfered with other interests —conversation, music practice, group games, and reading.In the early 1930s a group of mothers from Scarsdale, N．Y., pushed radio broadcasters to change programs they thought were too “overstimulating, frightening, and emotionally overpowering” for kids, said Margaret Cassidy, a media historian at Adelphi University in New York.
Then television burst into the public consciousness with incomparable speed.By 1955, more than half of all US homes had a blackandwhite set, according to Mitchell Stephens, a media historian at New York University.
The_hand_wringing_started_almost_as_quickly. A 1961 Stanford University study on 6,000 children, 2,000 parents, and 100 teachers found that more than half of the kids studied watched “adult” programs such as crime shows, and shows that featured “emotional problems”．Researchers were shocked at the TV violence present even in children's programming.
By the end of that decade, Congress had authorized ＄1 million (about ＄7 million today) to study the effects of TV violence, moving “literally thousands of projects” in the following years, Professor Cassidy said.That eventually led the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adopt, in 1984, its first recommendation that parents limit their kids' exposure to technology.The medical association argued that television sent unrealistic messages around drugs and alcohol, could lead to overweight, and might fuel violence.
Video games presented a different challenge.Decades of study have failed to confirm the most widespread fear, that violent games encourage violent behavior.But from the moment the games appeared as a cultural force in the early 1980s, parents were anxious about the way kids could lose themselves in games as simple and repetitive as “Space Invaders”．Some cities sought to restrict the spread of arcades (游戏厅); Mesquite, Texas, for instance, insisted that the under 17 group needed parental monitoring.
Initially, the Internet —known as an “information superhighway” that could connect kids to the world's knowledge — got a similar pass for helping with homework and research.Yet as the Internet began linking people together, often in ways that connected previously lonely people, familiar concerns soon reappeared.
A．To explain the confusion of Dennis.
B．To show stable ways of teaching children.
C．To reveal the change of parents' anxiety.
D．To introduce the development of technology.
解析：选C 句意理解题。分析前三段大意可知，第一段讲了Stephen之前从不担心科技会带来坏处，并提倡多使用它们。第二段讲事情发生了改变。第三段讲了科技带来的坏处使Stephen开始担心。实际上前三段揭露了父辈们焦虑的改变。从毫不担心到忧心忡忡。
11．Why do the anxieties seem so serious nowadays?
A．Children go out to drink in pubs at night.
B．Children always slip out to meet strangers.
C．Children often stay out with friends too late.
D．Children are deeply influenced by technology.
解析：选D 细节理解题。从文章第三段“It almost seems like an addiction”可知，孩子们已经深深地被科技所影响着，像是般吸引着他们。
12．What may be the worry about the radio for parents in the past?
A．Listening to the radio everywhere.
B．Disturbing the people's daily routine.
C．Broadcasting too many sad programs.
D．Making children become more selfish.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第六段一开始两句可知收音机似乎比那些滑稽的人、汽车、电影和其他早期入侵者更让父母感到无助，因为它不能被锁在外面，孩子们也不能被锁在里面。换句话说就是孩子收听收音机不受时间和地点的限制。
13．The underlined part in Paragraph 8 means ________.
A．kids watched too many TV programs
B．many anxieties followed very fast
C．researchers conducted studies widely
D．violent programs appeared constantly
解析：选B 句意理解题。上一段提到“电视以无与伦比的速度冲入公众意识。”，然后下文中主要讲的是电视带来的严重问题，所以这句话的意思是随着电视的快速发展，人们的担忧也在快速增长。
14．What challenge did video games present?
A．Worries about video games could last long.
B．Violence could result from violent games.
C．The spread of arcades was out of control.
D．Kids could be addicted to video games.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段的第三句“ ..., parents were anxious about the way kids could lose themselves in games” 可知答案。“lose themselves in games”和“be addicted to ”是同义替换。
15．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Technology is harmful to the growth of kids.
B．Good old days are gone with the technology.
C．Concern about technology is a long time affair.
D．Technology is actually like a two edged sword.
解析：选C 主旨大意题。用串线法可知，本文一直在讲不同时期人们对于科技的担忧。即关于科技的忧虑是一件长期的事。

This makes sure your next holiday in the snow is an unforgettable experience. Snowbiking The snowbike—a cross between a bicycle and skis—guarantees pure fun and a unique skiing experience for snow fans above six. Snowbikes can be used on wellcaredfor slopes (斜坡) and riders navigate the slopes with the additional help of short foot skis. And it can be ridden without the rider having previous experience. Freeriding There is no other winter sport that gets you closer to nature. Due to the truly unaffected character of the slopes, snow and weather conditions have to be taken into special consideration when you're freeriding. Therefore, it is very important to be accompanied by a professional guide who knows the skiing area inside out and who is able to correctly assess the weather conditions. Snowshoeing Snowshoeing is the perfect activity for those who want to explore the untouched winter landscape. The snowshoes distribute the weight of the person carrying them over a larger area so that the feet only sink lightly into the snow. Handling snowshoes is easy and does not require any previous experience: Simply fasten your snowshoes, pick up your sticks and off you go! Snowtubing Snowtubing is an activity for winter fans of all ages and involves sliding down

What exactly was so interesting about this video? It shows a dog playing with big cats four to five times its size! Many people might wonder if this dog has a death wish, but it seems that the dog and the big cats are good friends. The dog was actually raised alongside the lion and tiger cubs, making up an odd but loving family, according to zoo officials. As opposed to the common belief, cross-species friendship has been around for centuries. People have domesticated many animals, most notably cats and dogs, and formed bonds with them as pets. Perhaps you even have a pet yourself. There are many other instances of cross-species friendships. At an animal sanctuary in Santiago, Chile, a jaguar named Marina and a deer named Laura formed a friendship after they both came to the park. As neither animal had a mother, sanctuary staff said they instantly bonded when they met. Laura had been rescued from a slaughterhouse while Marina had been rescued from the street. One possible explanation for these friendships is the environment of the zoo. Animals don’t hunt for their food and don’t need to worry about marking their territory or looking for mates in the way an animal in the wild would. “All those activities take time and energy, and if these needs are removed, the animals get bored,”Gordon Burghardt, a psychologist at the University of Tenessee, US, told The Atlantic magazine. “In this particular situation, the animal’s motivation to engage socially and playfully may be higher in its need hierarchy(等级)than eating.”

Most people believe that plastic recycling is severely limited：Only a few types can be recycled.This is unsurprising.The proportion（比例）of plastics that are recycled is minimal.But all polymers（聚合物）are，technologically，recyclable.Some of them can be used again and again to produce the same goods.Some can technically be reprocessed into new materials for different applications. The problem is that recycling much of this plastic waste is currently unprofitable.But the amount of these materials all over the world is large and keeps on growing.What if this plastic waste could be used to produce something useful to the society？Many universities and business people are attempting to do this.Most solutions target mixed plastic waste and suggest applications different from the original ones.For example，several groups have developed building materials made of plastic waste.Plastics are strong，durable，waterproof，lightweight and recyclable—all key properties for construction materials.So what if all of this plastic waste could be turned into building materials for low-income populations？Existing initiatives are promising，but not yet reproducible on an industrial scale. I study plastic waste with the aim of finding interesting ways to remove it from the environment.From agricultural waste to concrete waste，mixed with recycled plastics，there are many ways to obtain materials to produce bricks and other useful elements for buildings.So perhaps plastics are not necessarily the problem.They can be part of a pathway towards a more sustainable way of living. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要说明了全球每年产生大量的塑料垃圾，如何回收利用这些垃圾成了人们思考的问题。 1.What's people's common belief about plastic recycling？ A.Almost all plastic waste can be reused.

But like so many things that we do without thinking such actions at one time probably represented something. For example, in primitive(原始的) life the hand was used to fight enemies, kill animals, and make spears and tools. So when the hand was extended to someone, it showed that the person was not armed or ready for fight. We know that the hand was an important symbol in early religion, probably as a mark of power. The Greeks prayed to their gods with raised hands. Presenting the hands palm to palm was at one time the way an inferior(身份低的) person paid respect to a superior(身份高的) one. Among the Arabs, it was customary at one time to kiss the hand of a superior. Later on, polite Arabs began to resist the efforts of people to kiss their hands, and sometimes they would end up shaking hands as each tried to prevent the other from showing this mark of “inferiority(下级).” The early Greeks held out the right hand when they wished to show friendship to a stranger. So we can see that the hand, and what was done with it, was full of meaning to people down through the ages. And while we shake hands without thinking, we are really carrying on a custom that has been handed down to us from ancient times. ( ) 1. The second paragraph tells us __________. A. the handshake didn’t mean greeting B. what hands were used to do in primitive life C. the handshake showed men’s kindness D. the handshake showed nothing ( ) 2. Among the Arabs, at one time, _________. A. people kissed each other whenever they met B. men kissed the women whenever they met
2022高考英语：任务型阅读训练(2)及答案
2022高考英语：任务型阅读训练（2）及答案 任务型阅读理解，各省市的命名的各不相同，或许有信息匹配、七选五、阅读表达、任务型读写、任务型阅读等等。 七选五训练 (2021·北京市朝阳区第一次综合练习) Virtual (虚拟)Teams Virtual teams are a great way to enable teamwork in situations where people are not sitting in the same office at the same time.__1__ This is particularly so for businesses that use virtual teams to build global presence, or need less common skills or knowledge from people who are unwilling to travel. Virtual teams are governed by the same basic principles as traditional teams. __2__ It is the way the team members communicate. They rely on special communication channels enabled by modern technologies, such as emails, faxes, and teleconferences, and alike. Due to more limited communication channels, the success of virtual teams is much more sensitive to the type of project the group works on, what people are selected, and how the team is managed. __3__One challenging case is the projects that rely heavily on integrated work. That is to say, when each person's work depends significantly on what someone else is doing at the same moment, like in a sports team, there is an ongoing heavy exchange of information in real time, and the tasks have to go through a strict order within a short time. Not everyone can perform well in a virtual team environment. __4__Another important quality is communication skills. The team members must be able to communicate clearly and positively. Managers of virtual teams need to pay much more attention to having clear goals，performance standards, and communication rules. People have various assumptions on what to expect from each other.__5__ One of the biggest challenges of virtual teams is building trust between the team members. Trust is important for unblocking communication between members and increasing motivation of each person in the team. The issue of trust needs special attention at any stage of team existence. A．Yet, there is one significant difference. B．Not every type of project is suitable for a virtual team. C．A virtual team can choose whatever project they like to work on. D．The members must be self-motivated and able to work independently. E．Such teams are now widely used by companies and organizations to cut business costs. F．Members of virtual teams communicate quite well although they never meet face to face. G．To avoid misunderstanding, clear rules that everyone understands and agrees on are necessary. 文章大意：本文为说明文，主要介绍了虚拟团队的含义、规章和作用。 1．E“这样的团队现在被企业和组织广泛接受以节省成本”。本空消灭在第一段，因此很可能是对前面提出的“virtual team”这样的概念进行的进一步的解释说明。而本空后面消灭的This is particularly so for business that... 消灭了代词This线索，指代的就是前面说的“虚拟团队”的特性就是“节省成本”，E项符合题意，故选E。 2．A“是，两种沟通却有明显的不同”。本空后面消灭的it is the way the team members communicate.消灭it 代词指代的就是difference，故选A。 3．B并不是全部的项目对于“虚拟团队”都是适合的。本空后面消灭的：one challenging case，是关键词，后面段落中举例：like in a sport team...更加印证了B 选项。 4．D成员必需能够“自我激励”并“独当一面”。本空后面的another important quality 说明本空应当说的是成员所具有的力量。D选项符合题意。 5．G为了避开误会，明确每个人都理解并接受的规章是格外必要的。前面消灭的assumption 跟G 选项中的misunderstanding 对应。故选G。 【北京市丰台区2022统一模拟】（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 依据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Stage Fright Imagine that you are an actor performing in a play for the first time. You have learned all your lines and you know where to walk on stage. Waiting behind the closed curtain, you can hear the audience whispering and taking their seats. Then your big moment arrives! The curtain goes up, and the crowd falls silent. All you can see is the spotlight shining down on you. 71 The inside of your mouth is dry, and your hands are wet. If you have experienced a moment like this, you know all too well what it means to have stage fright. It is one of the most common types of fear and tends to strike people when they find themselves at the center of attention. 72 People experience this fear when playing sports, giving a presentation, or even speaking in class. A person who suffers from stage fright may get sweaty hands, a dry mouth, a tight throat, or shaky knees. Stage fright is actually a form of panic, and these feelings are very real. 73 The experience differs from person to person, but the same chemical process occurs in each of us. In reaction to anxiety, our bodies produce a chemical that prepares us to either fight or run away quickly. Scientists refer to this as our bodies' "fight or flight" reaction. As a result, we feel great energy that makes our hands sweat, our hearts race, and our knees shake. 74 Practicing your performance and following some simple tips can help calm nerves and manage the feelings caused by anxiety. First, dress comfortably and appropriately. Second, before the performance, take deep

Eighteen of Britain's top companies, including carmakers, airlines, retailers and banks, are publishing a report on Monday, in which they promise to develop new products and services that allow customers to cut their carbon emissions. The report is also intended to send a message to companies around the world to make fighting climate change a higher priority. "This requires urgent action, and the sooner we do it, the better and the cheaper it will be," said Ben Verwaayen, chief executive of BT and chairman of the task force group that produced the report. It’s members employ two million people worldwide and have more than ￡1 trillion in income. The report is a result of British businesses’ addressing issues raised by the Stern Review , a study commissioned by the British government and published last year on the economic impact of global warming . The review , led by the government' s top economist, Nicholas Stern ,concluded that spending about one percent of global gross product in reducing emissions today would avoid having to spend about five to twenty percent-in the future. Monday' s report says that the responsibility to cut emissions lies with consumers, who through their purchases contribute to sixty percent of Britain' s emissions, with companies , which can cut emissions by offering greener products, and with the government , which should use tax cuts as a great encouragement for consumers to cut emissions. 1.
