2022届高三英语百所名校好题分类快递(02月)开学考试专辑专题04(阅读理解之七选五)原卷版浙江省台州市椒江区省联盟2022届高三开学考试英语试题People of all ages and nationalities are opening Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn accounts to connect with friends, celebrities, and those who share similar interests as them. ___31___ Small businesses and corporations are also using it to develop closer relationships with their fans and attract new customers.___32___ For starters, it can be an effective way to conduct market research. In the past, companies often spent millions on studies to determine what their customers wanted. However, they often had difficulties locating people who were interested in their products or services. Nowadays social media has simplified this process as many customers will follow or like the companies they purchase products from. Furthermore, online advertising campaigns through social media allow companies to specifically target people who like similar products as the ones they are selling.___33___ It allows fans and customers to leave comments about companies, their products, or their services. In turn, these companies can evaluate this feedback and respond in a way that shows they truly care.However, companies shouldn't jump into social media without a carefully-planned strategy, as this can cause more harm than good. A common mistake is putting new hires or outside consultants in charge of social media accounts. ___34___ Another mistake is using conservative, corporate language in posts and updates. On social media, people are looking for personalities they can connect with, so companies shouldn't shy away from usinghumor or being colorful. Finally, social media accounts should always provide value and other share-worthy content to fans, for that is the primary reason they became followers. ___35___A. Social media has swept across the globe.B. Social media isn't just for individuals though.C. One company called Zippos does this extremely well.D. The person controlling these accounts must be knowledgeable.E. There are many ways that organizations can benefit from social media.F. Social media also gives companies greater control over their brand image.G. Only by following these tips, organizations can take their businesses to the next level.河南省濮阳市2021-2022学年高三下学期开学摸底考试英语试题Travel is not only beneficial to our minds, bodies, and souls, but it will be important to many countries and communities that rely on tourism dollars to make ends meet. Now I’d like to go a bit more in depth with strategies for travelers to leave less of a mess behind.Pack with great care. How you pack sets the tone for how you will interact with the place you visit. Take as little as you can. Pack useful things like a large scarf or a quick-dry towel that can double as a blanket, pillow, or sun guard. ___16___Save water and energy. Paying for the hotel room doesn’t mean you should waste th e resources. ___17___ Take short showers and reuse towels. Turn off the lights and turn down the heat when you leave.___18___ When you travel with least luggage, it’s not a big deal to hop on a bus, train, or ferry, all of which come with a smaller carbon footprint than private cars or plane rides. Public transportation routes give you a different view of a city and a culture, bring you into contact with locals, and add some colorful stories to your adventure.Avoid single-use plastic. When hanging out, carry a cloth shopping bag for any purchases. ___19___ Avoid takeout meals that produce waste.Leave reviews. ___20___ By taking the time to leave a thoughtful review that analyzes the eco-credibility of a place you’ve visited, you can help the business get recognized for its effort, and encourage other travelers to prioritize (优先处理) environmental standards.A. Use public transportation.B. Pack more in case of an emergency.C. Keep your bag light and easy to carry.D. Avoid using it as much as possible.E. Treat it as you do in your own home.F. Carry a water bottle to avoid single-use plastic bottles.G. This is an important yet often overlooked aspect of travel.湖南省六校2021-2022学年高三下学期2月联考英语试题Can you remember what you ate yesterday? If asked, most people will be able to give a vague description of their main meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner. But can you be sure you’ve noted every snack bar in your car, or every handful of nuts at your desk? ___16___We originally had this suspicion back in 2016, puzzled by the fact that national statistics showed calorie consumption falling dramatically over past decades. Now, the Office for National Statistics has confirmed that people are considerably under-reporting what they ate by 50%.___17___ We can point to at least three potential causes. One is the rise in obesity levels itself. Under-reporting rates are much higher for obese people, because they simply consume more food, and thus have more to remember.Another cause is that the proportion of people who are trying to slim down has been increasing over time. ___18___ It may be driven partly by self-deception or “wishful thinking”.___19___ Both are in terms of how often they happen and how much they contribute to our overall energy intake. Again, there is evidence that food consumed out of the home is one of the most poorly recorded categories in surveys.So, what’s the message conveyed? If people do not know how much they are eating, it can be really hard for them to stick to a diet. ___20___ Therefore, we can ensure what people eat won’t have much impact on their waistlines. If this works, it won’t matter if they can’t remember what they ate yesterday.A. Why is this happening?B. What will come about next?C. Most people will feel that they’ve missed something out.D. We should be looking for new ways to handle this problem.E. The final one is an increase in snacking and eating out recently.F. People are consuming more calories than the national statistics claim.G. Those who want to lose weight are more likely to under-report their eating.四川省成都第七中学2021-2022学年高三下学期入学考试英语试题When early colonial settlers went to America, they took many forms of dance to their new home. Square dancing, one of the oldest forms of American folk dancing, developed from several different Old World group dances, mainly English country dances, and the French quadrille (卡德利尔舞).In the American version, a square is formed by four couples.____16____Each couple stands on one side of the square, the boy on the left and the girl on the right. An American addition to square dancing is the caller.The caller—someone who calls out the dance steps in time to the music—was a completely American invention.____17____Later the dances became so complicated that it was necessary to have someone call out cues (暗示). Thus, dancers didn't have to remember so many steps. The caller didn't just call out “do-se-do your partner”;a good caller also came up with colorful sayings or witty lines that he would say in between the cues such as "Don't be bashful (羞怯的) and don't be afraid."____18____Although popular for years, square dancing seemed to be going out of style and fading away until the early 1930s, when Henry Ford helped revive interest in it. Ford, the automobile manufacturer, used to vacation at the Wayside Inn in Massachusetts.____19____Ford asked Lovett to come to Detroit and teach dances, but Lovett said he couldn't because he had a contract with the inn. Ford solved that problem by buying the inn and Lovett's contract. He took Lovett back to Detroit, where together they established a program for teaching square dancing.____20____A. They stand facing the center of the square.B. Lovett's dance program attracted a lot of audience.C. The caller was important because he told the dancers what to do.D. At first, dancers memorized all the steps for a particular dance.E. A caller might also come up with new dance steps and routines.F. There he enjoyed the dance program run by a man named Benjamin Lovett.G. Square dancing was updated and groups began forming all over the country.南京第一中学2021-2022学年高三下学期开学检测英语试题A little knowledge and a few measures can enormously increase your chances of surviving an earthquake.

So how can we design a life that is less complex and more meaningful? With minimalism (极简主义). ____36____ The following ways will assist you in your journey to living a simper yet fuller life.____37____ Most people’s living space is filled with things that are never used and don’t contribute to their well-being. Separate the ones you do need from the ones you don’t, and th row the latter right into the dustin — orbetter, give them away to people who might actually benefit from them.Appreciate all the amazing things you already have. We constantly compare ourselves to others who seem happier, more beautiful and more important than us. We try our best to imitate those we envy. ____38____ We need to stop comparing and accept ourselves for who we are, with all our imperfections. Take a moment to appreciate what you have.Do one thing at a time. Minimalist living actually means making the most out of each and every moment. We’re usually carrying out different tasks at the same time. So whatever we are doing, our mind is partly wondering somewhere else. ____39____Develop mindfulness. ____40____ Thus you need to develop mindfulness. Mindfulness means fully attending to what’s happening in the present. There are many ways one can do so. Perhaps the most common way is to sit for about 30 minutes somewhere comfortably with your upper back straight and pay full attention to your breath as it’s coming in and out through your nose. In this way, you won’t be distracted by your thoughts.A. It is about enjoying life more with less.B. Stop consuming products you don’t need.C. Yet no matter how much we try, we always fail.D. Get rid of thi ngs that don’t serve your happiness.E. minimalist living requires a calm and undisturbed mind.F. Stop multitasking and concentrate on a single thing at a time.G. Unfortunately, our minds are filled with worries in our busy lives.江苏省海门中学2021-2022学年高三下学期期初考试英语试题How to boost your immune systemOn the whole, your immune system does a remarkable job of defending you against disease-causing microorganisms.____16____Is it possible to fight the disease off?

Or make other lifestyle changes?Now, researchers are exploring several factors, hoping to help you strengthen your immune system.Lifestyle____17____Following general good-health guidelines is the single best step you can take toward naturally keeping your immune system working properly.

A bad-smelling home is not only unpleasant to visit, but gives the impression that your home is also un clean, which isn’t always the case. Fortunately, you can keep your home smelling fresh and clean with a few techniques.____17____ Additionally, pick up any objects from the floor, such as clothing or towels, and place them in the box. Wash your dishes daily, which will keep your home smelling fresh.Dust the objects in your home once weekly. Rub a soft cloth over your television and top of furniture to remove the dusty layer. Use a polishing spray for extra shine.Wash your bedclothes on a weekly basis. Sheets, blankets and pillow cases often hold germs, which cause a smell to occur. So wash them regularly. ____18____Bathe your dog and its bedding regularly. A dog’s smell can transmit from the animal to your floors, furniture and bedclothes. Wash the dog to prevent smells, as well as dirt, mud and other materials from being transferred from your dog to your items in your home. ____19____ Brushing daily can also release smells and materials that can cause the dog to create a foul smell in your home.Shampoo(用洗涤剂洗)your carpets. ____20____ So the dirty carpets can make your entire home smell not-so-fresh.

This includes your beliefs about your inner qualities and how you think others see you. ___36___ Someone can develop low self-esteem even when they are highly functional and greatly skilled. Understanding this mysterious emotional currency might be the key to unlocking your own self-worth.People with healthy self-esteem don't need to boast about themselves to others. People with low self-esteem may tell you how much everyone loves them, what a great job they do at work, and how amazing they are at pretty everything under the sun even though they really wonder if it's true. People may see them as obnoxious or "full of themselves". ___37___ They are not shy about sharing ideas, including constructive criticisms of others. They also take care of themselves without second-guessing or apologizing. They are the people who we say seem "sure of themselves".If you're starting to think you may have low self-esteem, you can work on the way you talk to yourself. When you turn off negative self-talk, you can open the floor to positive reinforcements and access the courage to showdifferent sides of yourself. It isn't going to feel good at first, though. Keep going until it becomes less and less and maybe even a few awkward laughs in the mirror may help. ___38___However, in serious cases of low or even non-existent self-esteem, you may want to call in a professional or a specialist. Good mental health is important, and professionals doing psychotherapy do not pass judgement or give corrections. ___39___ It is the best way to get at the roots of your real self-esteem problems.___40___ It will take some work but your entire life—from your relationships to your body image to your work habits—will be touched with the kind of power that only comes from someone believing in themselves. This is the hardest part, and the greatest leap. With some changes and support, you can improve your self-esteem and see how everything else changes as a result.A. Self-esteem is not always rooted in reality, though.B. You have the power to shape a new self-perceptionC. This encourages you to speak openly without worry.D. The real test of character is whether they can learn from their mistakesE. Self-esteem refers to a person's overall sense of his or her value or worth.F. People with a healthy level of self-esteem present themselves with a casual confidence.G. With some practice and persistence, you will win this internal struggle to see your self-worth.江苏省高邮市2021-2022学年高三下学期期初学情调研英语试卷You’ve studied hard, you’ve got the grades and now you’re off to university! This is the journey that many students are taking, but how prepared are they to leave home, stand on their own two feet and be self-sufficient? _____36_____Of course, flying the nest to go to university is the opportunity of a lifetime, but to make the most of it needs some preparation before you arrive. _____37_____ You’ll no longer be able to rely on Mum and Dad to feed you or clear up after you, so try to learn how to make some dishes that are quick and easy to prepare. Graduate Peter Rogers told the BBC: “I didn’t really have anything other than basic cooke ry skills before I went to university and found learning to cook was reasonably enjoyable.” Other things to do while at home is to practise some of those household chores, like operating the washing machine or ironing your clothes!______38______ That’s be cause students will probably be living with others such as in a flat share or shared campus-based accommodation. This will also require taking responsibility for managing their finances because,apart from tuition fees, accommodation is likely to be the biggest cost for students living away from home. However, the Higher Education Policy Institute and Unite Students study found only about half of the would-be students surveyed identified rent as the biggest expense and concluded that this suggests more should be done to help in the transition between school and university.______39______ They not just rely on old friends at home. Going to university requires meeting new people and making new friends. This often begins in Freshers’ Week although journalism st udent Emmeke Megannety warns that: “People starting university need to remember that the people you meet in your first week will not necessarily be your friends for life.”______40______A. These domestic skills will be by no means useless.B. This means learning life skills such as cooking and cleaning.C. Besides being excited and nervous, many students are deeply ill-informed about what to expect.D. New students should be self-centered.E. But whatever your expectations, it’s good to be prepared for the time of your life.F. You can fulfill your dreams on your own.G. New students are going to have to be sociable as well.河北省唐山市2021-2022学年高三下学期开学摸底考试英语试题Many families avoid long-term travel while their kids are young or in school. Travelling with babies is cheaper - and there's no school to worry about-but they're unlikely to remember much about the trip. Older children will form longer-lasting memories but you'll need to keep up with their studies, which is the main concern for many parents. ____36____ But for me, traveling with older children doesn't necessarily mean you have to sacrifice the education.In the past 7 months' travelling in Australia, I have witnessed the educational benefits to our daughter Chloe. The biggest blessing we have gained is her desire to learn. ____37____And we are constantly presented with new challenges that encourage her learning and lead to enquiry.____38____It inspires children's sense of adventure, and shows them how to turn dreams into reality. Besides, it pushes them outside their comfort zone and broadens their understanding of life. Most importantly, it allows them to have quality time with the people they love most and form a life-long bond.And remember, just because children are not in a classroom, it doesn't mean they can't have access to formal education. ____39____Distance education and school of the air are good choices, and they offer full support to help kids finish their learning curriculum.Anyway, school shouldn't be a barrier to having one of the greatest experiences of life. There're so many families whose children have returned to class after a year of travel with so much more confidence, knowledge, intelligence, social skills and problem solving skills. Travel hasn't blocked their learning. ____40____It's time to break traditional ideas and teach kids while they travel.A. Instead, it has greatly improved it!B. She has loads of questions for us to answer.C. Actually it encouraged them to travel further.D. They can visit their former school teachers regularly.E. There are several options for educating kids on the road.F. In fact, the benefits of travelling are not just limited to that.G. There never seems to be a right time to have that long-term travel.。

Jeremiah saw with his own eyes how, in addition to the smog making breathing problems common, his young contemporaries fell behind in their schoolwork because of a lack of decent lighting.Energy poverty is a major issue in Sierra Leone—with just 26% of the population having access to electricity. In rural parts of the country, only 6% of people have electricity access, most of whom turn to solar lanterns and dry-cell batteries. As a result, it’s led to the destruction of forests as people cut down trees for firewood, which leaves Sierra Leone highly sensitive to extreme events like flooding and landslides. Families’ reliance on firewood also leads to frequent house fires.These life-threatening disadvantages and hardships fuelled Jeremiah’s passion for renewable energy and climate change advocacy. At 17, when studying at the African Leadership University in Rwanda, he launched a start-up called Optim Energy that transforms vibrations (震动) from vehicles and footfall on roads into an electric current. It is different from established renewable energy sources including wind or solar because it generates power without relying on changeable weather.Optim Energy ran a successful pilot program in Jeremiah’s neighbourhoods, Makawo in the northern part of Sierra Leone and Kuntoluh east of Freetown. With just two devices, the start-up provided free electricity to 150 households comprising around 1,500 citizens, as well as 15 schools where more than 9,000 students attend.Jeremiah is currently developing plans to expand into the healthcare field, which needs power to cool medicines and create enough light for treating patients after dark.4. What affected the young fellows’ academic performance?A.The war. B.The smog. C.The poorlighting. D.The breathing problem.5. What can we learn about “energy poverty” from paragraph 2?A.It is caused by solar lanterns and dry-cellbatteries.B.It has a worse impact on the city area.C.It brings about the destruction of forests. D.It increases the risk of forest fires.6. What is special about Optim Energy?A.It draws on vibrations to makeelectricity.B.It upgrades the use of solar energy.C.It runs a pilot program throughout thecity.D.It helps 9,000 students return to school.7. What message does the text want to convey?A.Electricity is the lifeblood of the city.B.Whoever is happy will make others happy too.C.Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.D.We are all in the gutter, but some are making it better.Carl Wieman, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist at Stanford University, excelled in the lab, where he created the Bose-Einstein condensate (玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚态). However, his mastery in the lab did not extend to the classroom. For years, he wrestled with what seemed to be a straightforward task: making undergraduates comprehend physics as he did. Laying it out for them—explaining, even demonstrating the core concepts of the discipline—was not working. Despite his clear explanations, his students’ cap acity to solve the problems he posed to them remained inadequate.It was in an unexpected place that he found the key to the problem: not in his classrooms but among the graduate students (研究生) who came to work in his lab. When his PH. D. candidates entered the lab, Wieman noticed, their habits of thought were no less narrow and rigid than the undergraduates. Within a year or two, however, these same graduate students transformed into the flexible thinkers he was trying so earnestly, and unsuccessfully, to cultivate. “Some kind of intellectual process must have been missing from the traditional education,” Wieman recounts.A major factor in the graduate students’ transformation. Wieman concluded, was their experience of intense social engagement around a body of knowledge — the hours they spent advising, debating with, and recounting anecdotes to one another. In 2019, a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences backed this idea. Tracking the intellectual advancement of several hundred graduate students in the sciences over the course of four years, its authors found that the development of crucial skills such as generating hypotheses (假设), designing experiments, and analyzing data was closely related to the students’ engagement w ith their peers in the lab, rather than the guidance they received from their faculty mentors (导师).Wieman is one of a growing number of Stanford professors who are bringing this “active learning” approach to their courses. His aspiration is to move science education away from the lecture format, toward a model that is more active and more engaged.8. What problem did Carl Wieman have with his undergraduates?A.Making them excel in the lab. B.Demonstrating lab experiments.C.Facilitating their all-round development. D.Enhancing their physics problem-solving.9. Which of the following best describes the graduate students who first joined Wieman’s lab?A.Limited in thinking. B.Resistant to new ideas.C.Flexible and earnest. D.Experienced and cooperative.10. What is crucial for developing students’ intelligent thought according to the 2019 study?A.Intense lab work. B.Peer pressure and evaluation.C.Academic interaction with fellows. D.Engagement with external society.11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A.Transforming Graduates’ Habits B.Carl Wieman’s Nobel Prize JourneyC.The Nobel-Prize Winner’s Struggles D.Carl Wieman’s Education Innovation Since the 1950s, some 9.2 billion tonnes of plastic have been produced globally, of which only about10% has ever been recycled. Yet environmentally conscious companies and consumers continue to look to recycling as a way to ease the plastic problem. Manufacturing giants claim to be committedto making more of their products and packaging from recycled materials. However, this confidence masks (掩饰) a complex web of issues around plastic recycling. Recycling rates remain extremely low and critics argue that we should look at alternative ways to tackle plastic pollution.While many plastics have the potential to be recycled, most are not because the process is costly, complicated and the resulting product of a lower quality than the original. Despite rising demand for recycled plastic, few waste companies turn a profit. Part of this is because virgin plastic-linked to oil prices - is often cheaper than recycled plastic, meaning there is little economic incentive to use it. Worse yet, much of our plastic waste is difficult to recycle. Lightweight food packaging, like a mozzarella packet, contains different plastics, dyes and toxic additives (添加剂). This dirty mix means plastic recycled through mechanical methods- the most common form- can only be melted down and moulded (浇铸,塑造) again a couple of times before it becomes too fragile to be reused. And the nature of the process means plastic recycling has a carbon footprint of its own.Given all of these difficulties, environmental critics say recycling is not the solution-and argue that creating more products from recycled material to attract environmental consciousness merely worsens the problem. “The solution is to use less plastic and to stop misleading the public about the recyclability,” says Enck, president of Beyond Plastics, a US campaign group with a mission to end single-use plastic. “They should stop making false claims about the recyclability of plastics since they know most will either be littered (乱扔) or burned or landfilled (填埋). Using less plastics means shifting to reusable products and relying more on paper, cardboard, glass and metal- -all of which should be made from recycled content.”12. What is an environmentally conscious customer’s attitude towards recycling plastics?A.Suspicious. B.Favorable. C.Indifferent. D.Disapproving. 13. What does the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.motive. B.issue. C.crisis. D.policy.14. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The recycling process of plastics. B.Pollutants contained in recycled plastics.C.Reasons why users dislike recycled plastics. D.Contributing factors to low plastic recycling rates.15. What will the environmental critics be happy to see according to the text?A.Using metal or glass food containers. B.Littering recycled plastics in a landfill.C.Processing plastics in a mechanical way. D.Launching campaigns to promoterecyclability.Science fiction television has done a lot to shape how we view the meals of the future, from an evening dinner in pill form to machines giving us any meal we desire, on demand. 16 However, while these ideas for food creation are more than fifty years old, the way we produce and consume food has not changed very much. Even though there is enough food available today to feed the world, more than 870 million people do not have enough to eat. 17With the global population expected to grow to more than nine billion by 2050, demand for food will only increase. No pills or machines have solved our food problems yet.However, agricultural science has been responsible for saving huge numbers of lives. Science and technology helped us out of starvation during the 1960s and 70s when the world’s population exploded. 18 The result of this panic was the “green revolution”, which saw the intr oduction to farming of high production grains, improved irrigation systems and hybrid seeds, saving over one billion people from starvation19 Having enough food is only the first step. There are complications with natural disasters, conflict, poverty and environmental problems. All these can mean that the food supply is put at risk 20 Many people are concerned about “playing around with nature”, adjusting how food looks and tastes and smells, and other human interferences(干预), all of which are widespread.Anyhow, the world has not been completely saved from starvation, but we are on the way to get there.Have you ever found yourself in a situation where something you enjoy on a daily basis is suddenly not available to you? For several weeks I volunteered on a ________ on the big island of Hawaii. My ________ in doing so: to learn how to grow my own food in a sustainable way, along with experiencing a simpler ________.Being an average twenty-something citizen of the ________ world, I spend a lot of free time using mobile devices.

There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide.

What do they need in their work environment to improve their mental well-being? What are their fears and concerns, and how can I help them manage these fears and concerns? What are their values and goals?18During my early years in management, I realized the great power of expectations. As I found, people largely lived up to my expectation of them. So I learned that if I want to build my business through my people, I have to build their own belief in their ability to achieve. This belief must be educated. If I want them to achieve more, I must help them build their trust in themselves first.Develop people’s recognition(认可)Whenever I speak and give advice to people, they tell me they don’t get enough recognition. Sad, isn’t it? B ut how much recognition they give to others? In fact, recognition could be developed by praising and appreciating each other in a team. 19 Teach your team to ask for the opinions of others if they’re not receiving recognition.Encourage people to be creative20 , or at least the way we’ve settled for it. Those who have been told they are creative will probably use their creativity bravely. Others who haven’t had their creativity encouraged will mostly believe they are uncreative. I suggest you encourage your people to be creative and brave in trying out new ideas.A.Develop recognition so that both the business and the people can growB.B.Help people build self-confidenceC. Encourage people to expect successD. If I want my team to go and grow with me, I need to find out what excites themE. We have created our life just the way we choose to have itF.

Three centuries later, misguided ideas about child-raising are still popular. Many parents fear that their children will die unless ceaselessly watched. In America the law can be equally paranoid (偏执的). In South Carolina this month Debra Harrell was jailed for letting her 9-year-old daughter play in a park unsupervised (无人监督的).Her severe punishment reflects the rich world’s worry about parenting. By most objective measures, modern parents are far more conscientious than previous generations. Dads are more hands-on than their fathers were, and working mothers spend more time nurturing their children than the housewives of the 1960s did. However, there are two problems in this picture, connected to class. One is at the lower end. Even if poor parents spend more time with their children than they once did, they spend less than rich parents do. Americais a laggard here: its government spends abundantly on school-age kids but much less than other rich countries on the first two or three years of life. If America did more to help poor parents with young children, it would have huge returns.The second one, occurs at the other end of the income scale, and may even apply to otherwise rational Economist readers: well-educated, rich parents try to do too much. Safety is part of it—they fear that if they are not constantly watching their children may break their necks, which is the least rational. Despite the impression you get from watching crime dramas, children in rich countries are safe, so long as they look both ways before crossing the road. The other popular parental fear—that your children might not get into an Ivy League college—is more rational. Academic success matters more than ever before. But beyond a certain point, parenting makes less difference than many parents imagine. Studies in Minnesota and Sweden, for example, found thatidentical twins grew up equally intelligent whether they were raised together or apart. A study in Colorado found that children that adopted and raised by brainy parents ended up no brainier than those adopted by average parents.This doesn’t mean that parenting is irrelevant. The families who adopt children are carefully screened, so they tend to be warm, capable and middle-class. But the twin and adoption studies indicate that any child given a loving home and adequate stimulation is likely to fulfill her potential. Put another way, better-off parents can afford to relax a bit. And if you are less stressed, your children will appreciate it, even if you still make them eat their fruit and vegetables.24. Which of the following statements is NOT a misguided idea of parenting mentioned inthe passage?A. Children should be protected from any dangers by their parentsB. The more conscientious parents are, the more children will surely benefit from parentingC. Children will die unless ceaselessly watchedD. Children are likely to fulfill their potential with a loving home and adequatestimulation25. The underlined word “laggard” in Paragraph 2 probably means a country that __________.A. is ahead in developmentB. falls slow behind othersC. is free from physical or mental disorderD. moves to a higher position26. Which of the following can we learn from the passage?A. Only warm, capable and middle-class people can adopt a child.B. When it comes to child-raising, Economist readers will become more rational.C. Children in rich countries are in greater danger due to the bad influence of crimedramas.D. Although poor parents spend more time with their kids than they once did, they spendless than rich parents do.27. This pa ssage is mainly written to __________.A. urge American laws concerning parenting to be changedB. advise modern parents to learn from their previous generationsC. persuade stressed parents to learn to relax and give more freedom to their childrenD. call on the government to do more to help poor parents with school-age childrenCFor years,studies have found that first-generation college students—those who do not have a parent with a college degree —lag other students on a range of education achievement factors. Their grades are lower and their dropout rates are higher. But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education,colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them. This has created “a paradox” in that recruiting first-generation students,but then watching many of them fail,means that higher education has “continued to reproduce and widen,rather than close”achievement gap based on social class, according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journal Psychological Science.But the article is actually quite optimistic,as it outlines a potential solution to this problem, suggesting that an approach(which involves a one-hour, next-to-no-cost program)can close 63 percent of the achievement gap(measured by such factors as grades)between first-generation and other students.The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their findings are based on a study involving 147 students(who completed the project)at an unnamed private university.First generation was defined as not having a parent with a four-year college degree. Most of the first-generation students(59.1 percent) were recipients of Pell Grants,a federal grant for undergraduates with financial need,while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students with at least one parent with a four-year degree.Their thesis-that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact-was based on the view that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students. They cite past research by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be narrowed to close the achievement gap.Many first-generation students “struggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education,learn the rules of the game,'and take advantage of college resources,”they write. And this becomes more of a problem when colleges don't talk about the class advantage and disadvantages of different groups of students because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students' educational experience,many first-generation students lack sight about why they are struggling and do not understand how students like them can improve.28. Recruiting more first-generation students has______.A. reduced their dropout ratesB. narrowed the achievement gapC. missed its original purposeD. depressed college students29. The author of the research article is optimistic because______.A. the problem is solvableB. their approach is costlessC. the recruiting rate has increasedD. their findings appeal to students30 The study suggests that most first-generation students______.A. study at private universitiesB. are from single-parent familiesC. are in need of financial supportD. have failed their college31. The author of the paper believes that first-generation students______.A. are actually indifferent to the achievement gapB. can have a potential influence on other studentsC. may lack opportunities to apply for research projectsD. are inexperienced in handling their issues at collegeD(CNN)Thousands of people from Honolulu to Miami marched down streets and interstates (洲际公路)Friday to express their anger about the election of Donald Trump.Protests have broken out across the United States against the election of Donald Trump as president. Thousands of people packed the streets of New York marching towards Trump tower shouting “not my president”. One of the biggest crowds g athered outside Trump Tower in New York, where Shoshi “Rabin” Rabinowitz explained her motivation:“Words can’t describe how disgusted I am that he was elected over Hillary(Clinton).“Big crowds also turned out in Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

More demonstrations are expected through the weekend.Much of the group walled onto Interstate 395 and surrounded cars.Four streets of traffic came to a standstill, the video showed. Interstate 80 in Iowa City, Iowa, was shut down briefly by about 75 protesters, Chris Akers with the lowa City Police Department s aid. “The group started downtown and then wove their way onto the interstate, shutting it down for about 15 or 20 minutes,”he said.Angry crowds gathered once again outside the 58-story Trump Tower, the President-elect’s home in Ne w York. “I think he need s to really address all the divisive (造成不和的), hateful things he’s said in the past and withdraw them,”Nick Truesdale said in New York. The groups are angry about policies Trump has promised to enforce(实施)concerning immigration, the environment, LGBT rights and other issues.Trump tweeted twice about the protests. On Thursday night the said, “Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited(唆使)by the media, are protesting.
