2020届新高考英语新题型练习完形填空阅读理解七选五套餐练（1）完形填空（山东省临沂市2020年高三上学期期末考试）Three years ago，I participated in Model United Nations(MUN)held by the Education Department，which was a mock(模拟的)UN activity．During the two days，students are separated in different groups which 21 different countries to debate and try to solve problems．MUN has 22 awards：best delegates(代表)，honorary mentions，and verbal mentions．Each time I participate in MUN，I made good 23 and undoubtedly got a few awards．But I often felt as if I’d 24 because I had never won the best delegate award．I 25 those who didn’t deserve to win the award but won it various times，and I was just filled with 26 at their success．But later I realized that it was also 27 not to get the award because I could actually 28 something，and that I shouldn’t 29 the best delegate award until I was the best delegate I could be．Failures are completely subjective—we can look at a result as a failure or a 30．Any failure can be regarded as a(n) 31 because you can always learn something from it and do 32 next time．This is supported by John Locke’s theory that we are born with blank views：knowledge and ability are learned from our 33．That’s true．If I make a mistake in the life practice，then I probably won’t 34 that next time．I believe this is 35 the best way to become better．21．A．strengthen B．condemn C．inspire D．represent 22．A．identical B．temporary C．various D．false 23．A．preparations B．predictions C．appointments D．explanations 24．A．accelerated B．failed C．exited D．succeeded 25．A．approached B．trained C．expected D．witnessed26．A．relief B．envy C．satisfaction D．delight 27．A．annoyed B．ashamed C．good D．terrible 28．A．desert B．1earn C．delete D．display29．A．win B．miss C．deliver D．value30．A．bond B．bet C．victory D．1oss31．A．aim B．benefit C．burden D．1imit32．A．funnier B．worse C．better D．slower33．A．decisions B．attitudes C．positions D．experiences 34．A．repeat B．admit C．accept D．notice 35．A．wrongly B．scarcely C．truly D．narrowly阅读理解（山东师大附中2017级第三次月考）AI was in the garden with Augie, my grandson, watching the bees. “How do they make honey?” Augie asked. “Actually, Augie, I don’t know,” I replied. “But, Grandma, you have your phone,” he said. For Augie, holding a smartphone almost means knowing everything.During my childhood I was crazy about books. Over time, reading hijacked my brain, as large areas once processing the real world adapted to processing the printed word. As far as I can tell, this early immersion (沉浸) didn’t prevent my development.Many parents worry that “screen time” will damage children’s development, but recent research suggests that most of the common fears about children and screens are unfounded. There is one exception: looking at screens before bed really disturbs sleep, in people of all ages. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) used to recommend strict restrictions on screen exposure. Last year, the organization examined the relevant science more thoroughly and changed its recommendations. The new guidelines stress that what matters is what children watch and with whom.New tools have always led to panic guesses. The novel, the telephone, and the television were all declared to be the End of Civilization, particularly in the hands of the young. Part of the reason may be that adult brains require a lot of focus and effort to learn something new, while children’s brains are designed to master new environments naturally. New technologies always seem disturbing to the adults attempting to master them, while attractive to those children likeAugie.When Augie’s father got home, Augie rushed to meet him and said in excitement. “Daddy, Daddy, look,” he said, reaching for my phone. “Do you know how bees make honey? I’ll show you…”21. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “hijacked” in Paragraph 2?A. occupied.B. damaged.C. improved.D. relaxed.22. What do the new guidelines of AAP focus on about “screen time”?A. The harm to children.B. The content and context.C. Children’s sleep.D. People’s fears.23. What might be the author’s attitude towards “screen time”?A. Opposed.B. Doubtful.C. Disappointed.D. Favorable.BToday companies have branches around the world. More than 11% of the US employers and employees work online either full-time or part-time, and that number is continuing growing. It is believed that it is a waste of time and money to fly around the world for face-to-face meetings. An effective solution to this problem is to use Web meetings.A large group of presentations, training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face-to-face experience. Web meetings are online meetings where an organizer invites attendees to listen to or watch an online presentation by presenters. Besides, Web meetings can be recorded for later use in presentations or training projects or downloaded for on-demand playback.Presenters can take real-time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting. Some Web meeting software programs can monitor the users’ desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents. If so, the program can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention, and how long the distraction lasts. In this way, the presenters will know which parts of their meetings need improving.Web meetings can work well because they’re hosted on a server (服务器). Images from the presenter’s desktop are taken, uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have accessto the server. Web meetings require a powerful server to deal with several images a second and “serve” them back to thousands of users at the same time.Companies have two choices when it comes to these servers. They can either buy a special Web meeting server to host their meetings on-site, or they can pay for a Web meeting service every time and let the off-site provider worry about hosting the meetings. The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Web meetings, the average number of people attending the meetings, and the quality of engineering and information technology.Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business. With all the technologies today, the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.24.What is the disadvantage of the traditional meeting?A.It needs more people to organize it.B.It is expensive and time-consuming.C.It results in traffic accidents frequently.D.It fails to meet the demands of big companies.25.How do some Web meeting software programs help improve the meetings?A.By presenting successful documents.B.By recording the frequency of distraction.C.By tracking the listeners’ state of attention.D.By taking surveys about a successful meeting.26.What do you know about Web meetings according to the text?A.Web meetings are likely to be widely used.B.Web meetings help presenters stay focused.C.Web meetings determine the quality of engineering.D.Web meetings work well without the help of a server.CEvery year, thousands of teenagers participate in programs at their local art museums. But do any of them remember their time at museum events later in life? A new report suggests that the answer is yes – and finds that alumni (毕业生) of arts-based museum programs credit them with changing the course of their lives, even years after the fact.The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are. They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have been in existence since the 1990s. Alumni, whose current ages range from 18 to 36, were invited to find out how they viewed their participation years after the fact.Among the alumni surveyed, 75 percent of alumni rated the teen program experience as the most favorable impact on their own lives, beating family, school and their neighborhoods. Nearly 55 percent thought t hat it was one of the most important experiences they’d ever had, regardless of age. And two-thirds said that they were often in situations where their experience in museums affected their actions or thoughts.It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens enthusiastic about arts even after they reach adulthood: 96 percent of participants had visited an art museum within the last two years, and 68 percent had visited an art museum five or more times within the last two years. Thirty-two percent of program alumni work in the arts as adults.Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the impact of teen-specific art programs in museums, it reflects other research on the important benefits of engaging with the arts. A decade of surveys by the National Endowment for the Arts found that childhood experience with the arts is significantly associated with their income and educational attainment as adults. Other studies have linked arts education to everything from lower drop-out rates to improvement in critical thinking skills.27. What does the underlined phrase “the fact” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Changing the course of children’s life.B. Participating in childhood art programs.C. Organizing arts-based museum programs.D. Remembering the time at museum events.28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell?A. The result of the study.B. The process of the study.C. The approach to the study.D. The object and content of the study.29. What can be inferred of the study mentioned in the text?A. Passion for arts may remain long in kids’ whole life.B. No other studies exist concerning the benefits of arts.C. Age matters in how people view their art experiences.D. Most children taking part in art programs will work in arts.30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. How is Art Connected to Our Life?B. Can Art Education Affect Our Income?C. What Should Art Museums do for Kids?D. Should Children Walk into Art Museums?七选五（山东师范大学附属中学2020届高三第三次月考）Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from ourselves or someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as lasting.31 We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. 32Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. 33Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we oncesaid. We remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: 34 If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. 35 Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.A.Is it loving?B.How should I say it?C.We all talk to ourselves sometimes.D.Negative words destroy all those things.E.Generally people like positive and pleasant words.F.However, critical language may cause anger and defense.G.So we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves.参考答案完型填空21-25DCABD 26-30 BCBAC 31-35 BCDAC阅读理解21-25ABD BC 26-30 ABDAD七选五CGFAD。

GHave you ever wondered how the trainers at Sea World get the 19,000-pound whale to jump 22 feet out of water and perform tricks? They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine． (1) .So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce(强化) the behavior that they want repeated — in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope． (2) , in a position where the whale can't help but do what's expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, it's given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing — no criticism, no warning and no feedback. (3) . Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope．It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn't starve．(4) . Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, under-criticize．People know they need help when they mess up. (5) , people will not forget the event and usually will not repeat it.So we need to set up the circumstances so that people can't fail. Over-celebrate,under-criticize…and know how far to raise the rope．A．This is a great challengeB．And the whale stays right where it isC．If we figure out a way to motivate the whaleD．They start with the rope below the surface of the waterE．If we under-criticize，punish and discipline less than expectedF．Whales are taught that their negative behavior won't be acknowledgedG．The simple lesson to be learned from the whale trainers is to over-celebrate11.

GComing to study in the UK is your opportunity to gain the skills，outlook and confidence you need to fulfil your potential．Applying to study in the UK is a straightforward process．(1)1．Decide on a university or college and course．To ensure you choose the course that is right for you and for what you want to achieve it is best to read as much as you can about the range of courses，colleges and universities available and compare them．It is also important to check the course entry requirements．(2) If you have any questions，you can contact the university directly，who will be very happy to help you find the information you need．2．Register and apply．Applying for an undergraduate course in the UK is simple；there is one place where you can register and apply to all of the UK universities and colleges - you register and apply through UCAS （Universities and Colleges Admissions Service）．3．(3)Your university or college will contact you （usually via email）to tell you whether or not you have received an offer to study．If you applied via UCAS it's easy to track the status of your application at any time．(4) You have a place and you can accept straightaway．If you are accepted with a conditional offer，the place is yours as long as you meet a few extra requirements．This could be achieving certain exam grades or English language test scores．For some courses you may be asked to come for an interview before you receive your offer，either on the phone or sometimes in person．(5)A．Apply for a visa．B．Accept your offer．C．We will guide you through it step by step．D．Once you have your offer and your visa，it's time to get packing!E．You can do this using the course profiles on the institutions' websites．F．If you are accepted with an unconditional offer，then congratulations!G．Check the course information before you apply to find out whether this is required．E F.F G.

GI work at a community library．Many people are under the assumption that public libraries are no longer needed because of the Internet．Nothing could be further from the truth．(1) ． A simple Internet search for "cats" produces approximately 2.98 billion results in less than one second．It is a huge number! How do you even begin to sort through all of those results？We hear so much about "false news"．(2) ．Librarians are there to help．They have been trained，through special classes and workshops，to sort through all of the results and find credible sources．Author Neil Gaiman said，"Google can bring you back 100，000 answers．A librarian can bring you back the right one．"(3) ．It helps connect people with the resources they need to find a job，continue their education，and learn new skills．It helps seniors find the resources they need to keep up with the "modern" world．It helps new parents develop a love for literacy in their children and bond with them．It helps local artists and craftsmen display their work．It helps students find the answers to those seemingly impossible homework questions．It allows people to meet and exchange ideas．Libraries are so much more than books and information．Yes，there are public computers ，Internet access，movies，music，programs and a thousand other things．(4) ．They are places where people feel safe and welcomed．They are places where someone who has limited resources can freely access materials and equipment they wouldn't otherwise be able to ．They can，at times，be a harbor for someone who needs a quiet place to work or study． Some of the best memories of my childhood involve going to the local library and in speaking with many others in the neighborhood，they too have those same memories．They are presently making those same memories with their children and their grandchildren．(5) ．I don't see the Internet doing that．A．We don't know what sources to trust．B．The public library helps people better their lives．C．The importance of library staff comes to the surface．D．However，libraries' meaning and relevance goes even beyond that．E．The public library brings people together to build a strong community．F．In fact，it is because of the Internet that public libraries are needed now more than ever．G．Every day children，students and adults use libraries to learn，grow and achieve their dreams．21.

The colors that you select create a distinct atmosphere in the room. (1)Pick the color for your room and you can create whatever you feel like. The color will also help you to enlarge the space or making it more inviting, which will also make differently all about it.However, the trick is to select the right version of that particular color. There are different hues (色调) for blues, for instance. (2) Here we have presented a guide that will let you gain a deep insight about the colors.Blue(3) For kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms it is an ideal choice. Of course it is also associated with sadness that means it may not strike note for each and everyone. It is a popular choice among people. Blue comes from the cold side of the color wheel, so it can make the room feel cold, unless and until it is south filling space. If you are attracted to blue color, think of going for purple, or mix red and purple.Dark blue is best for a living room. Probably it is best reserved for high ceiling space. (4)GreenLike blue, green is also a calm shade. (5) It is the shade that reflects nature and renewal. Green produces a positive energy without the feeling of over stimulation.A. Colors can light up the mood of the room.B. You can use it for a living room or a bedroom.C. They won't create similar effect and atmosphere generally.D. Traditionally, blue is just related to calmness and comfort.E. It is better that you select colors that are very warm like blue.F. Dark blue will really make you feel the wall appear near to you.G.

GHow to Rent Your HouseBefore handing the keys to your house over to a complete stranger for care，there are decisions you need to make．In fact，the decisions you make now，before searching for a tenant （房客），will make the biggest impact on the success of your rental．(1)What Condition Do You Want Your House in？There is no end to the amount of improving you can do to your house before renting it out．(2) When is good enough，good enough？A house should be clean，empty （unless you are offering it "furnished"，which is uncommon）and free from any major repairs at the time the tenant moves in．Remember，the home does not need to be as fancy as you would want it to be．(3) Tenants will generally never take as good care of your house as you do-so don't spend too much time or money making unnecessary upgrades that will only be ignored or broken．Should You Use a Property Manager？(4) If you have the time，abilities，and energy to manage yourself-you can save a good deal of money by doing so．However，if you try to manage without the ability-it could end up costing you much more than what a property manager might charge．How Much Can You Rent Your House for？Luckily，discovering what the monthly rent will bear for your house is not difficult．(5) In business，market research means to get out there and find out what others in your industry are charging；learning how much to charge for rent is no different．Your house will generally rent for about the same amount as other properties that are of similar location，size and condition．A．The problem becomes learning when to stop．B．No one wants to be a landlord with those problems．C．The following are some questions to answer before you rent out you house．D．Have a professional carpet cleaner clean the carpets before showing the property．E．Look around at other rentals in your area and try to see what the typical quality is．F．The best way to determine how much your house will rent for is to simply do market research．G．The decision about whether to manage yourself or hire a property manager cannot be made by anyone other than you．31.

GIf you stayed up or had a bad night of sleep last night，you know it's difficult to stay awake in class today．Your teacher's voice might begin to sound like a lullaby（催眠曲）．(1) To keep yourself awake，some tips are worth trying in class．Sit in the front of the room．Why？(2) Besides，it'll be easier to pay attention and participate when you're in the front．You'll also be near the people who are more likely toparticipate，and the sound of their voices might keep you awake．(3) Ask and answer questions and pay attention to the lecture．This will help if you're tired or discouraged by the content of the lecture，because you can ask your teacher questions to get to the bottom of the problems．Talking will also keep you engaged and alert．It might be helpful to make a goal for yourself to answer or ask at least 3 questions per class．(4) For example，you might say "I didn't understand the last part of the proof．Could you explain it again in more detail？"Listen actively to the lesson．Active listening is a great way to force yourself to stay awake because it requires engagement of your mind as well as your body．(5) To effectively listen to your teacher，you should try to maintain eye contact，face the speaker，pay close attention to what the speaker is saying and ask questions during a pause in the lecture．A．Participate in class activities．B．Develop interest in the subject．C．If so，classrooms can be boring because you're tired．D．Keep silent all the time and try to catch as much information as possible．E．To avoid annoying your teacher you should try to keep your questions on topic．F．You'll be more motivated to stay awake if you know that the teacher can see you easily．G．Practicing active listening can help you keep your eyes open for the length of the lesson．36.

GWhat's the purpose of building patience abilities？In a word，happiness．Better relationships，more success．But indeed it takes effort to build them successfully．(1) Thus ，when the big ones come，we will have developed the patience we need for hard times． Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience．We，human beings，are still constructed with our old reptilian（爬行动物似的）brain that protects our physical and emotional survival．On the emotional survival side，we want our way to get ahead，to achieve，to "look good．" Let's just face it．(2) So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience-anger，impatience，blaming and shaming．We all have them．And we can grow beyond them．Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain．Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions-we try to change the other person，situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort．But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that's the source of our pain ，but how our mind is set．(3)Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts．Most of us don't really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest-but very present-painful feelings．(4) But to really care for ourselves，get curious about what's actually happening in the moment inside you．Focusing on what's actually happening，you can notice the worry of not wanting what 's happening，the resistance．(5) When you find yourself impatient，or angry with yourself，you can remind yourself that you are growing，and that，"Sure，this is understandable；this is what happens tome when I'm bothered．" You can say to yourself，" It's true．I don't like this；this is uncomfortable，but I can tolerate it．A．Practice positive self-talk．B．So the solution to pain is an inside job．C．Patience abilities benefit you in many ways．D．Learn to forgive yourself for being impatient in hard times．E．we ignore the fact that we're in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem．F．The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habit-forming．G．Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pains and annoyances．41.

GContinuous learning benefits us in many ways. First of all, it allows the increase in knowledge and ability in our career. For example, watching someone work can make us a better worker. (1) For example, we can learn about the general workforce and how the application process works to better prepare us for job searching. This can help if for some reason you lose your job and need to find other work.What's more, continuous learning can open our mind. Having an open mind and willingness to take on new ideas can do wonders. First of all, it builds your attitude towardschange. (2) Second, when you take continuous learning into account, you can begin to understand how others feel about a particular issue.(3) They are always looking for new experiences and do different things. Moreover, they not only have knowledge on various topics that aren't always related to present roles but also know about the latest trends and technologies in the industry.To develop continuous learning, you have to begin with setting a clear and specificgoal. (4) Once your goal is set, build a system to help support your strategy. You want to be looking for different sources of information, but also to be picky about it. In other words, try to learn within your specific field but ensure the information is coming from a trustworthy source. At the same time, do use tools to help improve your learning system. (5) Seminars (研讨会), workshops, and live classes are the tools that modern learners need as they make learning effective.A. Learning can improve other areas in our lives.B. Besides, learning can prepare us for the unexpected.C. If you're always learning, you are always improving.D. Excellent continuous learners behave in a specific manner.E. Being excited about change can affect others around you positively.F. There're various tools to help you present information and learning.G.

GSmart devices are sometimes powerful．They put a world of information at our fingertips．(1) That is a huge blessing for parents seeking flexible work hours．Smart phones and tablets can also promote efficiency by allowing people to get things done in spare moments that would otherwise be wasted，such as while queuing for coffee．They can even help lazybones create the false impression that they are working around the clock，by programming theire-mail to be sent at 1 am．But for most people，the servant has become the master．Not long ago only doctors were on call all the lime．Now everybody is．Bosses think nothing of invading their employees' free time．(2) Even people with strong mind check their smart devices with heavy addiction，even during pre-dinner drinks，and send e-mails first thing in the morning and last thing at night．(3) How can we harvest the benefits of connectivity without becoming its slaves？One solution is digital dieting．Just as the abundance of junk food means that people have to be more disciplined about their eating habits，(4) Maybe the only way to break the 24/7 habit is to act together rather than individually．The firms should introduce rules about when people are expected to be offline，and encourage them to work together to make this possible．We must be aware that the faster smart devices become and the more addictive the apps that are designed for them，the stronger the addiction will grow．(5)A．This is partly because smart devices are addictive．B．Work invades the home far more than domestic chores invade the office．C．Now it's time to outsmart the smart devices by insisting that everyone turn them off from time to lime．D．the abundance of junk information means we have to be more disciplined about our browsing habits．E．Banning texting at weekends can really show the iPhone who is boss．F．They enable people to work at home instead of crowding into the subway with smelly strangers．G．What can be done to keep smart devices in their place？51.

GHow to revise for a testStudying for tests may be one of the most difficult parts of school． (1) If you feeldiscouraged about an approaching test and need some directions for preparing yourself，consider using the following suggestions to help you out．Aim foremost to understand the concepts．Keep the important points in mind，and ignore unnecessary information． (2)Ask for help．When the need arises，it is best to receive help from the others． (3) You could also ask him/her for a set of questions and answers that could help you memorize the information．You could also ask a family member or a friend for help．Practice in everyday life．Fit reviewing into everyday life by sticking up notes with sentences you need to remember for the test written upon them． (4) You could possibly put one on the bathroom mirror，one at the table and another by the TV．This is optional but highly recommended．(5)Find out how much you remember certain things and what's missing．Decide what you did well in and what you did not so well in．This may boost your chances of getting more marks in the assessment and may also help you remember for next time．For instance，if you are struggling on maths problems based on geometry，then put this down as something that you need to review more than the subjects you are good at．Review often but little．Do not push yourself and try reviewing everything in one day．Practice takes time and if you rush，you won't remember anything．A. Go through what you have been learning．B. Mark your practice tests．C. As long as you remain focused on the main topics，you will be able to do well on the test．D. However，even the worst test performance could be turned around into a successful attempt．E. It can be difficult to remember the material and understand which points to study．F. You will notice them every day and reviewing won't seem to be boring or dull．G. Ask your teacher to summarize the topic with all the important points．56. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G57. A. A B.

GVitamin D is necessary for bone-building，immune （免疫）function，blood sugar control ，positive mood and more．(1) The lower your vitamin D level is，the higher your risk of death from any cause will be．However，it's not a great idea to just take asupplement （补品）off the drugstore shelf and start taking it．Since many of us have an inadequate amount vitamin D，also known as the sunshine vitamin" ，doctors will often give us high levels of D supplements，with closes ranging from 2，000 to 10，000 I（International Units）per day，up to 50，000 IU per week and sometimes even more．(2) Very big doses （剂量）of vitamin D can cause a build-up of calcium （钙）in the blood，which leads to poor appetite，weakness，weight loss or other diseases．Here's the bigger issue；(3) A build-up of stored vitamin D can cause avoidable problems，leading to problems such as kidney （肾）stones．(4) The National Institutes of Health set the Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitamin D at 600 IU daily for babies，children，and adults up to 70 years old．Adults aged 71 and older need 800 IU，since the ability to absorb vitamin D drops with age．Because the fat cells take vitamin D up，making it less available for use by the body，(5)Though you'll get a bit of vitamin D from foods - including fatty fish，beef liver，cheese ，milk and so on - the amounts are so small that there's little need to worry that they'll put you ，over the daily dose．A．It can help prevent many diseases．B．We can actually reduce the risk of death．C．people who are fat may also need more vitamin D．D．any extra intake of vitamin D can get stored in the body．E．But like all good things，it's possible to get too much of it．F．The average daily recommended amounts vary based on your age．G．Vitamin D should be supplemented carefully despite its importance．61.

GHave you ever wondered how the trainers at Sea World get the 19,000-pound whale to jump 22 feet out of water and perform tricks? They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine．(1) .So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce(强化) the behavior that they want repeated — in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope． (2) , in a position where the whale can't help but do what's expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, it's given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing — no criticism, no warning and no feedback. (3) . Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope．It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn't starve．(4) . Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, under-criticize．People know they need help when they mess up.

The colors that you select create a distinct atmosphere in the room. (1)Pick the color for your room and you can create whatever you feel like. The color will also help you to enlarge the space or making it more inviting, which will also make differently all about it.However, the trick is to select the right version of that particular color. There are different hues (色调) for blues, for instance. (2) Here we have presented a guide that will let you gain a deep insight about the colors.Blue(3) For kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms it is an ideal choice. Of course it is also associated with sadness that means it may not strike note for each and everyone. It is a popular choice among people.

GHow to Rent Your HouseBefore handing the keys to your house over to a complete stranger for care，there are decisions you need to make．In fact，the decisions you make now，before searching for a tenant （房客），will make the biggest impact on the success of your rental．(1) What Condition Do You Want Your House in？There is no end to the amount of improving you can do to your house before renting it out．(2) When is good enough，good enough？A house should be clean，empty （unless you are offering it "furnished"，which is uncommon）and free from any major repairs at the time the tenant moves in．Remember，the home does not need to be as fancy as you would want it to be．(3) Tenants will generally never take as good care of your house as you do-so don't spend too much time or money making unnecessary upgrades that will only be ignored or broken．Should You Use a Property Manager？(4) If you have the time，abilities，and energy to manage yourself-you can save a good deal of money by doing so．However，if you try to manage without the ability-it could end up costing you much more than what a property manager might charge．How Much Can You Rent Your House for？Luckily，discovering what the monthly rent will bear for your house is not difficult．(5) In business，market research means to get out there and find out what others in your industry are charging；learning how much to charge for rent is no different．Your house will generally rent for about the same amount as other properties that are of similar location，size and condition．A．The problem becomes learning when to stop．B．No one wants to be a landlord with those problems．C．The following are some questions to answer before you rent out you house．D．Have a professional carpet cleaner clean the carpets before showing the property．E．Look around at other rentals in your area and try to see what the typical quality is．F．The best way to determine how much your house will rent for is to simply do market research．G．The decision about whether to manage yourself or hire a property manager cannot be made by anyone other than you．31.

GWhat's the purpose of building patience abilities？In a word，happiness．Better relationships，more success．But indeed it takes effort to build them successfully．(1) Thus，when the big ones come，we will have developed the patience we need for hard times．Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience．We，human beings，are still constructed with our old reptilian（爬行动物似的）brain that protects our physical and emotional survival．On the emotional survival side，we want our way to get ahead，to achieve，to "look good．" Let's just face it．(2) So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience-anger，impatience，blaming and shaming．We all have them．And we can grow beyond them．Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain．Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions-we try to change the other person，situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort．But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that's the source of our pain，but how our mind is set．(3)Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts．Most of us don't really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest-but very present-painful feelings．(4) But to really care for ourselves，get curious about what's actually happening in the moment inside you．Focusing on what's actually happening，you can notice the worry of not wanting what 's happening，the resistance．(5) When you find yourself impatient，or angry with yourself，you can remind yourself that you are growing，and that，"Sure，this is understandable；this is what happens to me when I'm bothered．" You can say to yourself，" It's true．I don't like this；this is uncomfortable，but I can tolerate it．A．Practice positive self-talk．B．So the solution to pain is an inside job．C．Patience abilities benefit you in many ways．D．Learn to forgive yourself for being impatient in hard times．E．we ignore the fact that we're in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem．F．The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habit-forming．G．Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pains and annoyances．41.

GContinuous learning benefits us in many ways. First of all, it allows the increase in knowledge and ability in our career. For example, watching someone work can make us a better worker. (1) For example, we can learn about the general workforce and how the application process works to better prepare us for job searching. This can help if for some reason you lose your job and need to find other work.What's more, continuous learning can open our mind. Having an open mind and willingness to take on new ideas can do wonders. First of all, it builds your attitude towardschange. (2) Second, when you take continuous learning into account, you can begin to understand how others feel about a particular issue.(3) They are always looking for new experiences and do different things. Moreover, they not only have knowledge on various topics that aren't always related to present roles but also know about the latest trends and technologies in the industry.To develop continuous learning, you have to begin with setting a clear and specificgoal. (4) Once your goal is set, build a system to help support your strategy. You want to be looking for different sources of information, but also to be picky about it. In other words, try to learn within your specific field but ensure the information is coming from a trustworthy source. At the same time, do use tools to help improve your learning system. (5) Seminars (研讨会), workshops, and live classes are the tools that modern learners need as they make learning effective.A. Learning can improve other areas in our lives.B. Besides, learning can prepare us for the unexpected.C. If you're always learning, you are always improving.D. Excellent continuous learners behave in a specific manner.E. Being excited about change can affect others around you positively.F. There're various tools to help you present information and learning.G. Knowing what you want to achieve can encourage you to keep learning.46. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G47. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G48. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G49. A. A B. B C. C D.

GSmart devices are sometimes powerful．They put a world of information at our fingertips．(1) That is a huge blessing for parents seeking flexible work hours．Smart phones and tablets can also promote efficiency by allowing people to get things done in spare moments that would otherwise be wasted，such as while queuing for coffee．They can even help lazybones create the false impression that they are working around the clock，by programming their e-mail to be sent at 1 am．But for most people，the servant has become the master．Not long ago only doctors were on call all the lime．Now everybody is．Bosses think nothing of invading their employees' free time．(2) Even people with strong mind check their smart devices with heavy addiction，even during pre-dinner drinks，and send e-mails first thing in the morning and last thing at night．(3) How can we harvest the benefits of connectivity without becoming its slaves？One solution is digital dieting．Just as the abundance of junk food means that people have to be more disciplined about their eating habits，(4) Maybe the only way to break the 24/7 habit is to act together rather than individually．The firms should introduce rules about when people are expected to be offline，and encourage them to work together to make this possible．We must be aware that the faster smart devices become and the more addictive the apps that are designed for them，the stronger the addiction will grow．(5)A．This is partly because smart devices are addictive．B．Work invades the home far more than domestic chores invade the office．C．Now it's time to outsmart the smart devices by insisting that everyone turn them off from time to lime．D．the abundance of junk information means we have to be more disciplined about our browsing habits．E．Banning texting at weekends can really show the iPhone who is boss．F．They enable people to work at home instead of crowding into the subway with smelly strangers．G．What can be done to keep smart devices in their place？51.

GHow to revise for a testStudying for tests may be one of the most difficult parts of school． (1) If you feel discouraged about an approaching test and need some directions for preparing yourself，consider using the following suggestions to help you out．Aim foremost to understand the concepts．Keep the important points in mind，and ignore unnecessary information． (2)Ask for help．When the need arises，it is best to receive help from the others． (3) You could also ask him/her for a set of questions and answers that could help you memorize the information．You could also ask a family member or a friend for help．Practice in everyday life．Fit reviewing into everyday life by sticking up notes with sentences you need to remember for the test written upon them． (4) You could possibly put one on the bathroom mirror，one at the table and another by the TV．This is optional but highly recommended．(5)Find out how much you remember certain things and what's missing．Decide what you did well in and what you did not so well in．This may boost your chances of getting more marks in the assessment and may also help you remember for next time．For instance，if you are struggling on maths problems based on geometry，then put this down as something that you need to review more than the subjects you are good at．Review often but little．Do not push yourself and try reviewing everything in one day．Practice takes time and if you rush，you won't remember anything．A. Go through what you have been learning．B. Mark your practice tests．C. As long as you remain focused on the main topics，you will be able to do well on the test．D. However，even the worst test performance could be turned around into a successful attempt．E. It can be difficult to remember the material and understand which points to study．F. You will notice them every day and reviewing won't seem to be boring or dull．G. Ask your teacher to summarize the topic with all the important points．56. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G57. A. A B.

GVitamin D is necessary for bone-building，immune （免疫）function，blood sugar control ，positive mood and more．(1) The lower your vitamin D level is，the higher your risk of death from any cause will be．However，it's not a great idea to just take a supplement （补品）off the drugstore shelf and start taking it．Since many of us have an inadequate amount vitamin D，also known as the sunshine vitamin" ，doctors will often give us high levels of D supplements，with closes ranging from2，000 to 10，000 I（International Units）per day，up to 50，000 IU per week and sometimes even more．(2) Very big doses （剂量）of vitamin D can cause a build-up of calcium （钙）in the blood，which leads to poor appetite，weakness，weight loss or other diseases．Here's the bigger issue；(3) A build-up of stored vitamin D can cause avoidable problems，leading to problems such as kidney （肾）stones．(4) The National Institutes of Health set the Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitaminD at 600 IU daily for babies，children，and adults up to 70 years old．Adults aged 71 and older need 800 IU，since the ability to absorb vitamin D drops with age．Because the fat cells take vitamin D up，making it less available for use by the body，(5)Though you'll get a bit of vitamin D from foods - including fatty fish，beef liver，cheese，milk and so on - the amounts are so small that there's little need to worry that they'll put you ，over the daily dose．A．It can help prevent many diseases．B．We can actually reduce the risk of death．C．people who are fat may also need more vitamin D．D．any extra intake of vitamin D can get stored in the body．E．But like all good things，it's possible to get too much of it．F．The average daily recommended amounts vary based on your age．G．Vitamin D should be supplemented carefully despite its importance．61.

高考英语一轮复习七选五专练八篇含答案
七选五专题演练八篇仿真演练(一)Spot lights are not just for rock concerts and Broadway shows. There are many ways to use them around your home's exterior as well. You can use them to add safety to a stairwell, prevent intruders from entering your home or show off your favorite rose hush.__1__. Learning the advantages of this option will help you decide whether they are right for your home.Solar spot lights are highly energy efficient. Since they are operated solely using power from the sun, they will save you money and help the environment over time. __2__, so you do not need a large upfront investment prior to seeing savings once you are using them.__3__. Since they do not require direct electricity, there is no wiring to worry about and typically, no special tools required. You can install them virtually anywhere, staking them into the ground, hanging them from the eaves of your home or even attaching them to siding, brick or trees in your yard.Solar spot lights are very safe to use, as well. __4__ when installing the lights. You can confidently place them near a swimming pool or other water source with no qualms, and you do not need to be concerned about wires being struck or cut when pets dig, children play or you spend time gardening in your yard.__5__. You should wipe them regularly with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and dirt that build up over time. They do require batteries, but they generally last a year or longer, and you can always buy a set of rechargeable batteries to make your lights even more frugal (节约的) and environmentally friendly.A. Finally, they are easy to maintainB. They are extremely easy to installC. lastly, they do not require direct electricityD. Solar energy is a free, inexhaustible resourceE. Again, they need no wiring, so there is no risk of electrical shockF. In addition, they are not particularly expensive to purchase eitherG. If you should decide to use them, consider installing solar spot lights（二）A New Trend of Micro MuseumsIs Making Science PortableScience museums are amazing. You can see large dinosaur bones from the huge creatures that disappeared thousands of years ago or take a look at cells under a microscope. __1__.You can learn so much at a science museum if living close enough to one. However, for those who don't live in a city, getting a chance to visit science museums is not easy. “__2__, their influence is limited. There just aren't enough science museums,” said Charles Philipp. “And due to the high costs，it's unlikely that we'll be seeing a bunch of new traditional science museums popping up all over the country anytime soon.”Philipp and his partner Amanda Schochet have decided to reinvent science museums by getting them small. They founded MICRO, a nonprofit organization that builds tiny 6foottall science museums, which are portable and replicable(可复制的). __3__. They can get access to it for free in such places as waiting rooms of hospitals, libraries, airports, and even shopping malls.__4__, they made it with the help of a team of engineers, storytellers and designers. Each of the micro museums has a scientific topic. The first museum is the Smallest Mollusk(软体动物) Museum showing the world of mollusks, which has won great popularity as the only museum devoted just to mollusks. A second museum is the Perpetual Motion Museum that focuses on physics and engineering and will officially open next year. It asks why things move, and why they stop. __5__. Hopefully one will come to a neighborhood near you soon.A．Science museums are beneficialB．While the content is vitally importantC．Although it costs nothing to visit museumsD．The plan is to get people of all ages connected with scienceE．Even though making the tiny museums a reality was difficultF．Such new museums allow people to explore fun scientific topicsG．You can also learn to think like an engineer by building a model ship（三）Flextime is a flexible hours’ schedule in which employees choose their own working hours, usually working within approximate limits set by the employer or by the government. __1__For employees, flextime has a clear advantage. __2__ For example, people can use flextime to create schedules which will allow them to go to school, handle childcare, assist relatives, and perform other tasks. Employees may also use their flextime to create a schedule which optimizes creativity, as in the case of someone who would prefer to work earlier in the day to get more accomplished.__3__ First, it tends to increase employees' satisfaction. This makes the company a better and more productive place to work. In addition, flextime can allow companies to serve clients for a greater portion of the day, as employees will be around at varying hours to answer phones, attend meetings, and so forth.Most flextime schedules include core time. __4__ Employees are also usually given an hourly, daily or weekly limit to ensure that they do not violate laws about working hours. Or the company is only willing to pay wages for so many hours of work each week.A classic example of a flexible time schedule is that someone who works four 10hour shifts a week can take three days off. Flextime can also be combined with flexplace, in which the environment is better than that of the office. __5__ Employers may also allow people to work in untraditional settings such as coffee houses.A．Employers benefit from flextime a lot.B．It's also seen as a family friendly policy.C．However, flextime may not be applicable to all fields.D．It is a period of the day in which everyone is expected to be at work.E．Many employers all over the world offer this method to their employees.F．For example, home offices are increasingly popular among many companies.G．It allows them to make changes to their work schedule which will suit their lives.（四）During your university education, you'll be exposed to ideas and scientific theories of scholars and scientists. Unavoidably, your own ideas will be shaped by the ideas you come across. __1__. That means you should go beyond what you learn in your textbooks or in the library. Your original work is the basis for your professor's evaluation of your performance. Thus, academic honesty is fundamental in your university education. It demands that you cite the source materials you base your own work on. _ _2__.Correctly citing your sources helps you distinguish your own ideas from those of other scholars. On the reader's side, it permits a reader to determine the depth of your research. __3__. On the contrary, lack of citing will only raise your reader's doubt.So you need to learn when to cite and how to provide an adequate or accurate reference list. If you fail to cite your sources, whether deliberately or carelessly, you will be found responsible for plagiarism(抄袭). __4__. If you are not sure, ask your professor for guidance before submitting the paper or report. Keep in mind this general rule: when in doubt, cite!__5__. For example, students from East Asia may think that copying directly from sources is the proper way to do research. Students in France, preparing for the final examination, may be encouraged to memorize whole passages and copy them into papers. Those cultural differences can lead to false assumptions about academic expectations in the country you study in.A．Some university students may cheat in different waysB．These include other scholars' ideas, figures, graphs and so onC．The academic challenge you face is to make something originalD．Often, students want to use others' opinions to support their own essaysE．It also allows a reader to appreciate your original contribution to the researchF．For international students, it is important to know local academic expectationsG．Not knowing academic regulations is an unacceptable excuse for such behavior（五）A new urban sport, parkour, is hitting the streets. It has evolved from obstacle course training into a fitness option for young people. In parkour, the outside world is the gym! ____1____ The goal of parkour is a direct route from one place to another. You meet an obstacle, you overcome it.Mark Toorock, who teaches the techniques of parkour at his fitness gym, says that parkour is a method to train the body and mind using obstacles as the medium. He says that this new sport is demanding and takes years to master. _____2_____But Toorock, who used to be a martial arts expert, says that everyone can benefit from learning the basic skills involved in parkour like running, jumping and crawling (爬行). These are the things , that humans used to have to do all the time. ____3____ The original idea of parkour was to returnto running and jumping as basic elements in moving from one place to another.Georges Hebert, a French navy officer, was so impressed by the effortless athleticism of African tribes that he devised a training method based on running, climbing, jumping, balancing and throwing. The word parkour comes from parcours de combatant, the French term for a military obstacle course. ____4____Dr Kenneth Kao explains that the sport of parkour is not extreme – it is the environment which is extreme and dangerous. Being outside jumping off railings and flipping over park benches can be quite frightening, so parkour courses in gyms concentrate on practicing all the individual moves to make everything easier. ____5____ However, that is not real parkour because it’s indoors with a fixed obstacle. The goal for everyone is to go outdoors.A. Gyms provide thick floor matting (垫子) for rolling and rubberized boxes for jumping over.B. The bridges, buildings and railings (栏杆) of each and every city are the equipment.C. Every action in parkour is natural, so everyone must have the ability to move in this way.D. Parkour was introduced into china in recent years and has gained popularity.E. But today, due to modern transport, these basic skills are no longer used on a regular basis.F. The French word for people who participate in the sport is traceurs or traceuses.G. Beginners should realize that they won’t be jumping over buildings any time soon!（六）Here's a surprising truth—one of the most powerful weapons to enhance your life is your owntongue!1 Concentrate on the qualities of other people that you can affirm instead of on their faults. This alone should do wonders in relieving stress in your relationships. Doctors know that prolonged anxiety harms you，but encouraging words can remove stress and a peaceful mind leads to improved physical health, too. 2Avoid fueling verbal fire. When someone starts to blow up all at you，be careful about your response. Why burn your relationship house down with your own mouth？Try spraying water on an argument with calm words instead of using a flamethrower. How many marriages have been destroyed when in a fit of anger people spew out hurtful accusations to one another that are never forgotten! 3 “A soft answer turns away wrath(狂怒), but a harsh word stirs up anger.”Stop complaining. We all know people who complain all the time，especially about the fault of others. 4 Nothing is ever going well for them，and probably nothing ever will—as long as they keep complaining and putting their energy on what they really don't want.Do think before you speak. 5 It is useless regretting. It doesn't matter how unintentional they may be，words can sometimes cut a lot deeper than a sword. Very often you'll hear people say，“I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.”Well，if you didn't want to hurt feelings why couldn't you be thoughtful before you let the unpleasant words escape your loose lips?A．You should practice waiting a while before answering someone when you are angry.B．Practice speaking positive words instead of negative ones.C．We store in our minds in a kind of mental art gallery what others have said to us.D．Once the words leave your mouth, it is impossible to take them back.E．The longer you think, the better you'll speak.F．The more they do so, the more they are disliked.G．Think twice before speaking.（七）Having a learning disability doesn’t mean you can’t learn. Learning disabilities happen because of the way a person’s brain takes in and processes information. ___1___ The trick will be figuring out how you learn best.Learning disabilities aren’t contagious(传染的), but they can be genetic. That means they can be passed down in families through the genes, like many other traits we get from our parents and grandparents. Someone with a learning disability probably has other family members who have some learning troubles, too. Kids with learning problems are sometimes surprised to find out that one of their parents had similar troubles when he or she was in school. ____2____Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works.It’s very hard for a kid to know if he or she has a learning disability. But kids don’t have to figure all this out on their own. ___3_____ Start with your teacher and your mom or dad.Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting. ___4_____ But the truth is that learning disabilities are pretty common. And if your learning specialist or psychologist has figured out which one you’re facing, you’re on the right track. Now, you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.To make this special help really work, you’ll need to practise the new skills you’re learning. It may take a lot of efforts every day. ____5____ Soon, you’ll enjoy the results of all your hard work: More fun and success at school!A．As a result, some people learn differently.B．What a kid needs to do is to tell someone.C．That can be a challenge, but you can do it.D．You might feel different from everyone else.E．There are people who know how to do just that.F．But kids today have an advantage over their parents.G．But you’ll need some help and you’ll need to work extra hard.（八）A Memorable Science ProjectIf someone tells you to remember a phone number or address, it feels like an easy task at first. You repeat the numbers to yourself, either aloud or in your mind. But after just a few seconds you might find yourself starting to doubt your own memory. 1 Thus, it will try to throw awayinformation that seems old or irrelevant. There are ways of helping our minds retain(记住) information, however, and in this activity you will explore ways that we lose and keep memories.Shortterm, or working memory, is a way of describing most people’s abilities to store a small amount of information for a brief period of time in a readily accessible form. 2 People don’t have to stop and think to remember something in shortterm memory.3 Such techniques include visualizing(观察) the information in a surprising way or linking pieces of information together so that one reminds you of the other. In the case of visualizing information, this could be as simple as remembering you parked your car on the fifth floor in the D section by picturing five dogs sitting in your car！4 If you need to purchase cereal(谷物), milk, fruit, cheese and eggs, you could imagine the cereal in a bowl, with milk pouring over it and pieces of fruit on top. Then imagine cracking an egg over everything, and it’s full of melted cheese! These may seem simple or even silly.5 In this activity you’ll test the recall of a few friends or family members, and learn a few tricks for improving memory!A．There are many techniques for improving memory.B．Our brain is always seeking new and useful information.C．Shortterm memory has a short duration but is quickly and easily accessed.D．In addition，linking information could help you remember your grocery list.E．Retaining that information over longer periods of time becomes difficult yet.F．Your shortterm memory has a limited amount of space to store information.G．However，they are proved to be good ways for improving memory by scientists.答案（一）1-5 GFBEA（二）GBDEF(三) EGADF(四) CBEGF(五) BGEFA(六) BGAFD （七）AFBDC (八) BCADG。

They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine ． (1) .So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce( 加强 ) the behavior that they want repeated — in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope． (2) , in a position where the whale can't help but do what's expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, it's given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing — no criticism, no warning and no feedback. (3) . Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope． It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn't starve ．(4) . Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, under-criticize ． People know they need help when they mess up.
