新高考高一英语时文阅读专练（含答案解析）AIn a new report, infectious disease expert Jeffrey Shaman believes there were at least half a dozen stealth coronavirus cases to every one diagnosis at the start of the epidemic.The explosive spread of coronavirus was likely caused by ‘stealth transmissions’— undiagnosed people with mild symptoms unwittingly spreading the disease, a new study claims. Infectious-disease expert Jeffrey Shaman believes the actual number of contaminated worldwide is far greater than reports, estimating a million people may have been infected.The environmental health sciences professor at Columbia University who co-wrote the study published on Monday said social distancing is a must in order to combat seemingly healthy people spreading the virus. Despite only being half as infectious as the documented infections, these stealth cases resulted in at least two-thirds of documented infections, Professor Shaman and his colleagues said. Prof Shaman said this flip in the ratios meant about 60 percent of carriers were confirmed — but fast forward to now and new daily cases have significantly dropped from thousands to tens. The study says a “radical increase in the identification and isolation of currently undocumented infections would be needed to fully control” the novel coronavirus.People in the UK, meanwhile, have been told to avoid pubs, clubs and restaurants and work from home wherever it's possible to slow the spread of coronavirus which has now claimed 55 lives in the UK. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said at a press conference yesterday urged everyone to “stop non-essential contact and to stop all non-essential travel”. The PM said London appeared to be “a few weeks ahead” of other areas and urged people in the capital to pay special attention to the measures — including home working — suggested by the Government. The UK death toll yesterday rose to 35 while there have now been 1,543 cases. Health Secretary Matt Hancock yesterday said that over-70s could be asked to self-isolate for four months.Across the world more than 6,000 people have now died from the disease.1. How many people at least potentially got infected when one was diagnosed, according to Jeffrey Shaman?A. Twelve.B. Six.C. Seven.D. Ten.2. What’s the best way to prevent the spreading from undiagnosed people with mild symptoms?A. Wearing medical masks.B. Not going to work.C. Keeping a social distance.D. Sending these people to hospital.3. How does Professor Shaman consider the current control of the novel coronavirus?A. Cheerful.B. Uncertain.C. Depressing.D. Impossible.4. Which of the following is NOT the advice of UK government?A. To work at home instead.B. Not to go out for any dinner.C. To cancel unnecessary travel.D. To self-isolate for the aged.BSmart Cane Helps Identify the Blinds’ SurroundingsThis electronic walking stick is revolutionizing the way that blind people can navigate① the world.As a means of protecting people from low-hanging objects and obstacles above chest level, the WeWalk smart cane uses ultrasonic sensors to warn the user of nearby hindrances through vibrations② in the handle.The cane can be paired with a smartphone’s Bluetooth system for easy control. Since it is also integrated③ with V oice Assistant and Google Maps software, it can use built-in speakers to inform the user of nearby stores and infrastructural details that they may not be able to see.WeWalk CEO and co-founder Kursat Ceylan, who is also blind, told CNN that he helped to develop the cane out of a desire to use modern technology as a tool for the visually impaired.“In these days we are talking about flying cars, but these people have been using just a plain stick,” he told the news outlet.“As a blind person, when I am at the Metro station I don’t know which is my exit … I don’t know which bus is approaching …which stores are around me. That kind of information can be provided with the WeWalk.”The WeWalk is currently being sold for $500 a pop. As the Turkish tech startup gains more traction, the developers hope to eventually pair it with ridesharing apps and transportation services to further improve its navigational abilities.CThe rush to board the 17.46 from London Euston to Crewe begins the moment the platform is announced. The train’s eight carriages, in theory, each carry 70 passengers. But the London-Crewe line is Britain’s busiest rail service. It leaves Euston carrying, on average, more than twice as many passengers as it has capacity for. Sitting on the floor, Becky, a local government worker laments that, “It’s like this every day. I get a seat maybe once a week. And I pay five grand for this season ticket.”At peak times 19% of London rail users are forced to stand. The problems stretch across Britain: 17% are seatless at peak times in Birmingham and 15% in Leeds. With a poor punctuality performance by international standards and a high cancellation rate, commuting by rail in Britain is often a miserable experience. The government is now set to try to relieve some of the suffering with a major expansion of Britain’s rail network and a reorganization of the sector. More government money looks set to be coupled with more government direction.After the Victorian boom, the railways went into a long decline. Traffic fell for half a century after the Second World War. But over the past 25 years they have more than doubled: there were 1.8bn rail journeys in 2018-19, more than at any time since the early 1920s. But while in 1963 Britain had 17,500 miles of track, it now has under 10,000 miles.That is the root cause of much of the commuter woe. According to the Railway Industry Association track utilization is 60% higher in Britain than the EU average. According to Network Rail, the publicly owned manager of the track, around 70% of delays are the knock-on effects of congestion. The shrinkage of Britain’s network has also forced operators to run freight, intercity and commuter trains on the same stretches of track. The need to accommodate slower running stopping trains reduces the number of higher speed trains which can run on the same length of track.1. What does the example of Becky aim to tell us in Paragraph 1?A. The train has limited capacity.B. The ticket price is high.C. Standing on the train is uncomfortable.D. Train service should be improved.2. Which of following is NOT the reason why people suffer from commuting by railway?A. The trains are always late.B. Trains always get canceled.C. The capacity of train is small.D. Train arrangement is poor.3. What is the main reason behind poor punctuality?A. Shortage of track.B. Traffic jam.C. Too many passengers.D. Poor coordination.4. What is this passage mainly talking about?A. New railway expansion in Britain.B. Railway development in Britain.C. Problems of railway in Britain.D. Political measures taken by Britain.DPeace and Happiness Found in CleaningIn a recent survey of 2000 Americans, housecleaning was shown to have some mood-boosting effects—but that doesn’t mean everybody does it willingly.The majority of respondents said cleaning gave them a sense of accomplishment①(65%) and helped them clear their mind (63%).Half of these adults said they are most often motivated to clean when they’re happy. In fact, 63% of those surveyed find the experience of cleaning to be relaxing—even more so than getting fresh air (61%).But that’s not the only reason people clean.A whopping 70% admitted that tidying their home was a way of putting off having to do other things, with the average procrastinator②using that trick four times a week.The survey showed that 86% of respondents do feel on top of their chores, but the last deep clean of their kitchen happened over a week and a half ago. That’s no surprise because the kitchen is most dreaded of all.Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of DishFish, makers of multipurpose sponges and non-scratch scrubbers, the survey honed in③on people’s attitudes toward dirty dishes and how they get through the cringe④-worthy task.More than two-thirds of people (69%) let their dishes pile up between washings with 20%saying “always” letting them stack up in the sink, which left them feeling stressed.More than any other room, the kitchen was rated as “very difficult” to tackle. And most people enjoy scrubbing their toilet or taking out the garbage more than washing dishes by hand.How do they get through it? 66% listen to music while they clean.72% have a go-to song that they blast while tidying up their home, with “Uptown Funk,” “Read All About It” and “Work” being the three favorite tunes on America’s cleaning playlist.EA powerful and deadly storm moving through Middle Tennessee caused a tornado (龙卷风) that touched down in Nashville early Tuesday morning, cutting a swath of destruction that stretched through the city for miles.The storm destroyed parts of several neighborhoods and business districts in the central part of Nashville before moving into the city's eastern suburbs and beyond. Tornadoes impacted several counties in West and Middle Tennessee. In Putnam County, located more than 50 miles east of Nashville, 77 people were still missing, Putnam County leaders said at a Tuesday night press briefing. It's unclear how many of the missing people could be injured; many disasters have missing persons who eventually turn up unharmed. More than 30 people have been treated for storm-related injuries at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, hospital officials said Tuesday morning. Most appear to have been hurt by flying objects. Three people were killed in the Mt. Juliet suburb of Nashville. One couple in their 80s were killed at their home. James and Donna Eaton, 84 and 81, respectively, were identified by police about 5 p.m. Tuesday. Sheriff Kenny Christopher told The Tennessean that a couple living in a mobile home north east of Camden, were thrown into their yard where trees were blown down. Children were reported to be among the dead in Putnam County.Tuesday was the USA’s deadliest day for tornadoes since March 2, 2012. Sirens and cellphone alerts sounded, but the tornado that struck in the hours after midnight moved so quickly that many people in their path could not flee to safer areas. Some of the victims were killed in their beds. “It hit so fast, a lot of people didn't have time to take shelter,” Putnam County Mayor Randy Porter said. “Many of these people were sleeping.”The storm left “piles of rubble and the damage of buildings and neighborhoods,” Lee said Tuesday night. At least 140 buildings were destroyed by the storm, which left more than 50,000people without power Tuesday night. Roads, bridges and utilities were also damaged.1.Which one is NOT mentioned about tornadoes according to the passage?A.Areas of severe damage.B.Victims of the tornado.C.Causes of mass deaths.D.Statistics of property loss.2.What do we learn from the second paragraph?A.There is no child injured.B.All the missing people are alive.C.The number of injuries is uncertain.D.The elderly are the biggest victims.3.The last paragraph of the article intends to tell us that .A.tornadoes brings great damageB.people will live without powerC.it will take some time to rebuildD.the homeless should be given a hand4. Where would this passage most probably come from?A. A storybook.B. A newspaper.C. A guidebook.D. A report.A【答案】1-4 BCAB【解析】本文是一篇说明文，描述了英国新冠肺炎的现状，同时也把政府已经和即将采取的措施公布于众。

新高考高一英语时文阅读精练(含答案解析)

新高考高一英语时文阅读精练（含答案解析）AAs more and more forest is cleared around the world, scientists fear that the next deadly pandemic(流行病) could emerge from what lives within them.In 1997, clouds of smoke hung over the rainforests of Indonesia as an area roughly the size of Pennsylvania was burned to make way for agriculture, making the fires worse by drought. Owing to the haze, the trees couldn’t produce fruit, leaving resident fruit bats with no other option than to fly elsewhere in search of food, carrying with them a deadly disease.Not long after the bats settled on trees in Malaysian orchards, pigs around them started to fall sick—probably after eating fallen fruit the bats had already eaten—as did local pig farmers. By 1999, 265 people had developed a severe brain inflammation, and 105 had died. It was the first known appearance of Nipah virus in people, which has since caused a string of recurrent(反复的) outbreaks across Southeast Asia.Over the past two decades, a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that deforestation creates the conditions for a range of deadly pathogens(病原体)—such as Nipah and Lassa viruses—to spread to people.As widespread burning continues today in tropical forests in the Amazon, and some parts of Africa and Southeast Asia, experts have expressed concern about the health of people living at the border of deforestation. They’re also afraid that the next serious pandemic could emerge from our world’s forests.“It’s pretty well established that deforestation can be a strong driver of infectious disease,” says Andy MacDonald, a disease ecologist at the Earth Research Institute of the University of California, Santa Barbara. “The more we lower and clear forest habitats, the more likely it is that we’re going to find ourselves in these situations where pandemics of infectious diseases occur.”1.The Indonesians burned the rainforests in order for ______.A.firewoodB. catching batsC. planting fruit treesD. farm land2.Which is the right order of affected creatures?A.bats→ pigs → peopleB.pigs→ bats → pig farmersC.people→ bats → pigsD.pig farmers → pigs → bats3.What does the underlined word “deforestation” in Paragraph Four mean?.A.湿地B. 毁林C. 果园D. 养猪场4.Why do experts worry about the people around the ruined forests?A.Because some sick people live in the ruined forests.B.Because the ruined forests may have pathogens.C.Because there are too many bats there.D.Because the ruined forests are dirty.【答案】1~4 DABB【解析】本文为一篇说明文，说明了森林的破坏会导致致命的疾病，呼吁大家珍惜森林。

新高考高一英语赢在阅读时文阅读专版(含原文翻译及答案解析)

新高考高一英语赢在阅读时文阅读专版（含原文翻译及答案解析）AApioneering dance troupe is proving that you can chase your dreams—even in a wheelchair. Since the age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. “The only thing that I loved was dance,”she said. That ambition nearly ended one night in 2010. Hill, a 17-year-old high school senior in Pacific Grove, California, was in a car accident that put her in the hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed (瘫痪) from the waist down. For most people, that would have dashed any hope of a dancing career. For Hill, it was the beginning. Far from being an obstacle, her wheelchair gave her nerve. “I wanted to prove to my community—and to myself—that I was still‘normal,’”she told Teen Vogue.Normal for her meant dancing, so Hill did it in her nondisabled high school dance team.“Half of my body was taken away from me, and I have to move it with my hands,”Hill said. “It definitely took a lot of learning and patience.”After graduation, Hill wanted to expand her dance network to include women like her. She met people online who had suffered various spinal cord injuries but shared her determination, and she invited them to dance with her. “It was such an amazing experience.”Hoping to reach more people in a larger city, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities she calls the Rollettes. “I want to break down the stereotype of wheelchair users and show that dance is dance, whether you’re walking or you’re rolling,”she told CBS News.Hill has attained what many of us never will: her childhood dream. She’s a dancer. But the Rollettes have helped her find something else just as fulfilling. Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users of all ages and abilities to help them find their inner confidence and courage.In 2019, 173 participants from ten countries attended.1. What did Hill do in her high school?A. She wanted to expand her dance network to include disabled women.B. She moved to LosAngeles to help more people with disabilities.C. She formed her dancing team Rollettes in 2014.D. She joined in the school dance team.2. What is the purpose of holding a dance camp every year?A. To make more money.B. To attract more people to join in her dance team.C. To help disabled people be healthier and happier.D. To help the disabled find confidence and courage.3. What does the underlined word “nerve”in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Tension.B. Happiness.C. Courage.D. Stress.4. The writer writes this passage in order to tell us _______.A. disabled people can also danceB. Hill is confident, brave and kind-heartedC. in any condition, we can chase dreamsD. to help people around us as Hill didBSummer AfternoonSummer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words. Summer isthe glorious time of the year when most of us can put on our shorts and short-sleeved shirts and actually feel the air and sunlight on our skin; when we don't have to turn up the heat in the morning when we get up; but also when we lay hot and sweaty in bed, unable to sleep at times (those of us who don't have air conditioning, anyway); when we get the sunburn and the heatstroke and all those wonderful things.All green and fair the summer lies, just budded ①from the bud of spring, with tender blue of wistful②skies, and winds that softly sing. How beautiful the summer night is, which is not night, but a sunless, yet unclouded day, descending③upon earth with dews④and shadows and refreshing coolness! How beautiful the long mild twilight ⑤, which, like a silver clasp ⑥, unites today with yesterday!Summer is a sailor in a rowboat and ice-cream on your dress when you're four years old. Summer is a man with his coat off, wet sand between your toes, the smell of a garden an hour before sunrise. Summer is silk itself, a giant geranium⑦and music from a flute⑧far away!No matter how we see it, summer has a magic that we can't deny - all four seasons do.CIn primary school, your idea of a good friend was the person who went to the bathroom withyou and held your hand as you walked through the scary hall. Then it was the person who shared their lunch with you when you forgot yours on the bus. Later, it was the person who saved a seat on the back of the bus for you.In junior middle school, your idea of a friend was the person who went up to your new crush, and asked them to dance with you, so that if they said no, you wouldn’t have to be embarrassed. A good friend then was the person who helped you pack up your stuffed animals and old baseball but didn’t laugh at you when you finished and broke out into tears.In senior high school your idea of a good friend was the person who would go to a party thrown by a senior so you wouldn’t wind up being the only freshman there. The person would give you rides in their new car, convinced your parents that you shouldn’t be grounded. At graduation your idea of a good friend was the person who was crying on the inside but managed the biggest smile one could give as they congratulated you. The summer after twelfth grade, a good friend in your mind was the person who helped you pack up for university and most importantly sent you off to college knowing you were loved.Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the better of the two choices, holds your hand when you’re scared, thinks of you at times when you are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, stays with you so that you have confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, helps you deal with pressure from others, smiles for you when they are sad, helps you become a better person, and most importantly loves you!1. When did a good friend save you a seat on the back of the bus ?A. In primary school.B. In junior high school.C. In senior high school.D. In a loved university.2.According to the passage, what may your friend do for you if you have a new crush?A. Begging him/her to accept you.B.Asking him/her to dance with you.C.Accompanying you to meet him/her.D.Advising him/her at once to like you.3. What's the most important factor of a good friend according to the author?A. Helping you when you're in need.B. Loving you no matter who you are.C. Smiling to you when you're disappointed.D. Correcting you when you make mistakes.4. Which can be learned from the passage?A. People have lower requirements for a good friend than for themselves.B. The older a person gets, the higher requirements for a good friend he has.C. The standards for a good friend don’t change much as a person grows up.D. When growing up, a person has totally different standards for a good friend.DA Six-Year-Old CharityJermaine Bell is a 6-year-old boy, and he will be turning 7 years old on September 8th.Rather than using his birthday vacation money to go to Disney World, this little boy chose to feed Hurricane Dorian evacuees ①.His parents had originally ②saved up some money so they could celebrate the youngster’s big day at ‘the happiest place on Earth’—but since the hurricane hit the east coast, Jermaine wanted to make sure those in the midst ③of it had something eat.He and his family moved from Allentown, South Carolina then used their savings to buy sandwiches, snacks, and water for families headed inland ④from the coast. Together, they stood on the side of the road with signs advertising how they were giving away free meals to evacuees.“The people that are traveling to go to other places, I wanted them to have some food to eat,so they can enjoy the ride to the place that they’re going to stay at,”Jermaine told local reporters in the interview below.Over the course of just one day, Jermaine fed more than 100 evacuees—and he hopes to feed many more. His mother Lauren Bell says that she has been incredibly ⑤touched by her son’s compassion⑥—which is why she still hopes to take her son to Disney World, even if it means they simply have to put it off for a while.EJordan stepped on a stage at Staples Center on Monday, Feb. 24, 2020 at “The Celebration of Life”for Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna Bryant, to let everyone know who they were. Jordan called Bryant a dear friend, and then explained the relationship, like big brother andlittle brother. It was a side of Jordan the public rarely sees. Even as owner of the Charlotte Hornets (夏洛特黄蜂队), Jordan is not accessible. So his appearance Monday was significant. “When Kobe Bryant died, a piece of me died,”Jordan said. As Jordan explained in his 11-minute remembrance, they shared a bond and had an inextricable link in the history of the NBA.And the friendship extended beyond basketball. Bryant entered the NBA in 1996 —Jordan’s 13th season. By then, Jordan was a four-time MVP and four-time Finals MVP with four championships. Bryant was just 18 years old, fresh out of high school. But Bryant knew where he wanted to go, what he wanted to be and he knew Jordan could help him get there —even if it annoyed Jordan. “He used to call me, text me 11:30, 2:30, 3 o’clock in the morning, talkingabout post-up moves, footwork and sometimes the triangle. At first, it was an aggravation,”Jordan said.“Then, it turned into a certain passion. This kid had passion like you would never know.”Two seasons after Jordan’s last title, Bryant won the first of his five championships. Jordan passed the torch to Bryant. He shared that it was more than a basketball relationship. It was never public. Only those two and those closest to them knew the bond.“I admired him because of his passion —you rarely see someone who is looking and tryingto improve each and every day, not just in sports but as a parent, as a husband. I am inspired by what he’s done and what he’s shared with his kids.1. Why did Jorden appear on Monday?A. Because Kobe Bryant asked him to visit.B. Because he came to memorize Kobe Bryant.C. Because he wanted to celebrate his championships.D. Because he was to help Gianna Bryant with basketball.2. How old was Kobe when he died according to the passage?A. 44.B. 43.C. 42.D. 40.3. What did Kobe do to annoy Jordan when he was young?A. He practised basketball all day long.B. He called Jordan in the early morning.C. He had won five championships before.D. He was too passionate for basketball.4.What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Jordan’s remembrance of Kobe.B. Jordan’s great admiration for Kobe.C. “The Celebration of Life”for Kobe.D. Sudden death of Kobe and his daughter.A【答案】1～4 DDCC【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Chelsie Hill 在遭遇车祸，腰部瘫痪的情况下，坚持在轮椅上跳舞，并且帮助了许多和她一样的残疾人实现舞蹈梦想的故事。

新高考高一英语时文阅读精编（含答案解析）ACoronavirus (冠状病毒) has infected more than 170,000 people across the world, and the virus is expected to peak in the UK in the coming weeks. Professor Chris Whitty said on March 12 that he expects the UK would reach the peak of its coronavirus outbreak in about 10 to 14 weeks.The NHS is currently advising you to self-isolate for seven days if you have symptoms of coronavirus, like a high temperature, or a new continuous cough.

And because of that, they could be hurting our health.It messes with① your sleepBut there are plenty of concerns too. Scanning your phone right before bed can disturb your slumber②. The short-wavelength③, bright blue light your device emits④ boosts your attention during the day, but at night the light can inhibit⑤ the production of melatonin⑥, which helps you fall asleep. To avoid that, make a habit of not using your phone for at least 30 minutes before you close your eyes.It keeps you from focusingWhen you are awake, a single buzz⑦ signaling a new notification⑧ on your phone can weaken your ability to focus on a task, researchers at Florida State University have found. Switch your phone to “do not disturb” mode to remove the distraction. Watch out for this way that your phone is aging your skin.It makes you achy ⑨Americans now spend more than five hours a day swiping, typing, and tapping —and feeling achy because of it all. achy because of it all. “Selfie elbow” is a strain injury caused by holding your elbow at an extreme “Selfie elbow” is a strain injury caused by holding your elbow at an extreme angle, and 85,000 angle, and 85,000 people a month search for “texting thumb” and similar terms on Google.people a month search for “texting thumb” and similar terms on Google. They’re dirtyMost cell phones are crawling with germs Most cell phones are crawling with germs——ten times what you would find on most toilets, says University of Arizona microbiologist Charles Gerba. Wipe your phone down daily with a gadget-friendly antibacterial wipe or a microfiber cloth. This is exactly how dirty your phone screen is.It hinders your memorySnapping a pic with your smartphone may also hinder your memory. On a test after a visit to an art museum, students were less likely to remember objects they had taken photos of. “As soon as you hit ‘click’ on that camera, it’s as if you’ve outsourced your memory,” says psychologist Linda Henkel.It hurts your eyesYour phone can do a number on your eyes. About 60 percent of Americans experience digital eye strain symptoms, such as dryness, irritation, blurred vision, eye fatigue, and headaches. Try blinking often, increasing font size, and taking a break from screens every 20 minutes.C Betelgeuse (猎户座) is a red supergiant star in Orion, a prominent constellation (星座) that spans the celestial equator. It is one of the brightest objects in the night sky, easily visible to the naked eye. It has around ten times the mass of the sun, and if it were at the centre of the solar system its outer edge would stretch beyond the orbit of Mars. Betelgeuse shines more brightly than the sun partly because it is bigger and thus has more fuel, but also because it is burning through that fuel faster. As a result, it will die much sooner. The sun is around halfway through its10bn--year lifespan. Betelgeuse’s span will be about 10m years, and it is close to the end of that 10bnperiod—perhaps very close. For, in the past few weeks, astronomers have watched it getting precipitously dimmer and that has made them wonder: could this be a signal that Betelgeuse’s time has come?When a star such as Betelgeuse runs out of fuel the nuclear reactions in its core which keep it shining stop and the heat and outward radiation pressure need to balance the force of gravity trying to pull everything inward. At that point, gravity wins. The core collapses. And the resultingshock wave destroys the star in an explosion called a supernova (超新星) that is temporarily brighter than the rest of Earth’s home galaxy, the Milky Way, put together.So far, the closest supernova seen since the telescope was invented is SN1987A, spottedmore than three decades ago in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy 160,000 light-years from the Milky Way. But astronomers detected SN1987A only after it had already happened. They have never been able to bring modern instruments to bear on a supernova in the Milky Way itself, and never watched a star in the moments before and during its final explosion.1. What is the feature of Betelgeuse?A. It is a normal--sized star in Orion.A. It is a normalB. It is invisible to our naked eyes.C. It will die much sooner than the sun.D. It is at the center of the solar system.2. Why does Betelgeuse shine more brightly than the sun?A. Because it is twice bigger than the sun.B. Because it has more fuel than the sun.C. Because its burning speed is much slower.D. Because it has a longer lifespan than the sun.3. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. Stars can continue shining with fuel.B. Stars without fuel will explode in the end.C. A supernova is permanently brighter than the rest of galaxy.D. The outward radiation pressure can balance the gravity.4. Where is this article mostly likely from?A. A guide book.B. A novel.C. A diary.D. A science magazine.DIs a High School Diploma Enough to SucceedAlthough most young Americans believe in the value of higher education, many still consider a high school diploma alone to be enough for success, according to a survey of teens and young adults by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.The findings alarm ① some experts who say young Americans don’t seem to be getting themessage that college pays off. Federal labor data shows a wide earnings gap between Americans who do and do not have a college degree, and unemployment rates are far lower for those with a bachelor’s or master’s degree.More than half of Americans ages 13 through 29 do see college as a path to economic success, but about 4 in 10 believe a bachelor’s degree prepares people only somewhat well, or even poorly, for today’s economy.Meanwhile, about half said their high school education has provided the skills they need to get a good job right after they graduate. And 45% say a high school diploma is good preparation for future successful workers. Researchers disputed that notion, saying it has been decades since a high school diploma was not enough to earn a good living. “The data just do not support that,” said Thomas Brock, a research professor and director of the Community College Research Center at Columbia University. “With a high school diploma alone, it’s very hard to earn the kinds of wages one would need to support a family.” In 2018, the median earn ings for workers with only a high school diploma was $730 a week, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. For those with a bachelor’s degree, it was $1,200, while those with a master’s degree typically made $1,400 a week.Teens are especially lik Teens are especially likely to think high school is a good path to success in today’s economy, ely to think high school is a good path to success in today’s economy, while young adults were less likely to say so, 51% versus ② 42%. And more than any type of degree, 73% of young Americans said they think job experience is good preparation for success.While 6 in 10 said a bachelor’s degree is a route to success, an equal number said they see vocational③ school as good preparation, and about half see the same value in an associate degree④. The finding was a surprise to some researchers who say students and their parents often think of college only as a bachelor’s degree.The survey also found disparities⑤ in the types of colleges young Americans choose. Overall, 3 in 4 said they plan to attend some type of college or have already done so. For about half, their plans included a four-year university, while about a quarter opted for community college or vocational school. Another quarter had no college plans.Wealthier Americans were more likely to pursue four-year universities, while those from poorer families leaned toward other options or no college at all. Those from wealthier families were also more likely to say their parents were helping pay for tuition⑥ and many forms of college preparation.EOne way of capturing the scale of the devastation that forest fires have inflicted on Australia is through figures. Some 11m hectares of the Lucky Country have gone up in smoke since September, almost the same area as Bulgaria (保加利亚). So far at least 26 people are known to have lost their lives, over 2,300 homes have been destroyed and over half a billion animals have been burned alive or choked to death. But numbers tell only part of the story.You might think that Australia is particularly vulnerable to forest fires. But that would be a mistake. Many other countries share the same conditions that have set Australia ablaze, physically and politically, including similar terrain and a leadership that has yet to wake up fully to the new reality that climate change is creating. Worldwide, fire seasons are getting longer and more damaging.As a result, the lessons from Australia’s tragedy are important. One is that climate change islong--standing part of some territories’ making fire more likely. It is true that forest fires are a longecology. But as the world gets hotter and drier, their incidence and severity are rising. Another lesson is that as fires get worse the old ways of assessing and containing them have become obsolete. Unlikely as it may seem, Australia’s fire-planning is ahead of most of the world’s—itcarries out preventive burns, for example, and its planning codes seek to limit fire risks. Nonetheless this system, and a heroic voluntary firefighting force, has been overwhelmed. Attention must now turn to how to live with fires. In some places, that will mean building structures that can resist the flames. Other regions may no longer be suitable for human habitation. The last lesson is that, as the costs of climate change stop being just about abstract temperature forecasts and start being something you can smell in your nose, the politics surrounding it will change, too.1.
