A56. Which company name has a close relationship with literature?A. Google.B. Cadillac.C. Starbucks.D. Rolex.57. Which of the following statements is True?A. Google was adopted because “googol” was not available then.B. Cadillac was named after the founding father of the company.C. Starbucks was used due to the co-founder’s love for his town.D. Hans Wilsdorf intended Rolex to be universally accepted.BIf you could travel back in time five centuries, you’d encounter a freshly painted “Mona Lisa” in Renaissance Europe and cooler temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere. This was a world in the midst of the Little Ice Age and a period of vast European exploration now known as the Age of Discovery.But what if we could look 500 years into the future and glimpse the Earth of the 26th century? Would the world seem as different to us as the 21st century would have seemed to residents of the 16 century? For starters, what will the weather be like?Depending on whom you ask, the 26th century will either be a little chilly or extremely hot. Some solar output models suggest that by the 2500s, Earth’s climate will have cooled back down to near Little Ice Age conditions. Other studies predict that ongoing climate change and fossil fuel use will leave much of the planet too hot for human life by 2300. Some experts date the beginning of human climate change back to the Industrial Revolution in the18oos, others to slash-and-burn agricultural practices in prehistoric times. Either way, tool-wielding humans alter their environment --- and our 26th century tools might be quite impressive indeed.Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku predicts that in a mere 100 years, humanity will make the leap from a type zero civilization to a type I civilization on the Kardashev Scale. In other words, we’ll become a species that can use the entire sum of a planet’s energy, mastering clean energy technologies such as fusion and solar power. Furthermore, they’ll be able to handle planetary energy in order to control global climate.Technology has improved significantly since the 1500s, and this pace will likely continue in the centuries to come. Physicist Stephen Hawking proposes that by the year 2600, this growth would see 10 new theoretical physics papers published every 10 seconds. If Moore’s Law holds true and both computer speed and complexity double every 18 months, then some of these studies may be the work of highly intelligent machines.What other technologies will shape the world of the 26th century? Futurist and author Adrian Berry believes the average human life span will reach 140 years and that the digital storage of human personalities will enable a computerized state of living forever. Humans will farm the oceans, travel in starships and reside in both lunar and Martian colonies while robots explore the outer cosmos.58. Why does the author mention the Little Ice Age in the first paragraph?A. To show the severity of the current global warming.B. To stress the close connection with the current climate.C. To provide contrast to the prediction of future climate.D. To illustrate the importance of protecting the environment.59. The prediction that Earth will cool down is based on _____A. changes in solar activityB. ongoing climate changeC. previous general assumptionsD. current consumption of fossil fuel60. What effect will the 26th century technologies have on human beings?A. Humans will suffer from severe global warming.B. Cyber technology helps human personalities survive.C. Humans needn’t work with the application of robots.D. Highly intelligent machines will replace humans.CHow would you describe your style? Formal? Classical? Casual? Smart? First of all, what is style? Let’s hear a few words of wisdom from the wise. “Style is knowing who you are and what you want to say,” (Gore Vidal); “Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charm,” (John Fairchild); “Style is the perfection of a point of view,” (Robert Eberhart); “Style is a simple way of saying complicated things,” (Jean Cocteau); “Style is the dress of thoughts,” (Lord Chesterfield).So, now you know what style is, you’ll need to buy some clothes. But where? In the UK, you can get really cheap, stylish, second-hand clothes at charity shops. They’re great if you want exclusive labels but don’t want to pay the price. The only difficulty is discovering where the really good bargains are. But don’t worry, Leila Gray can help you here. She’s the proud owner of a vintage Hardy Amies coat, picked up at a charity shop for£20---a good deal when you realize it cost more than £800 new. “You have to go to the richer areas of a city,” she says. “That’s where all the labels are. It can take a bit of hunting around, but that is half the fun, and there’s a lot of buried treasure just waiting to be discovered.”So, now you know where to buy your new, stylish clothes, how do you acquire your style? Experts say that mixing and matching from charity shops can help you find your own style----something that’s really you. That’s what Scottish musician Morus did. “My fashion tip is this,” he says, “Look at yourself with the eye of a graphic designer. If you can’t be attractive, aim for ‘interesting’ or ‘original’.” Momus’ unique style could even make him happier, too. As psychologist Marilyn Elias explains, the happiest people “judge themselves by their own yardsticks, never against what others do or have”.Shoichi Aoki, the founder of Japanese street style magazine FRUiTS, agrees. “I think real fashion is what people wear on the streets, the clothes that they wear, the way that they wear them,” he says. “What you see in fashion magazines and on models has been styled and it’s more commercial.” He says that his inspiration for FRUiTS came from people combining traditional Japanese clothing such as the kimono and “geta” (Japanese wooden clogs) with Western fashion. “This really caught my eye,” Aoki adds. These styles may seem wild, but Aoki’s idea is not: be bold, be creative and find something that suits you.Maybe it’s time to create your own look. There are many online guides to help you. Perhaps the best advice comes from a website called wikiHow, “If you see something you like,” it says, “feel free to copy, but don’t make yourself a clone… mix it up and make it yours.” Think about it!61. What should you first do to choose they style that best suits you?A. Follow the images of the wise people.B. Go for whatever is fashionable.C. Simplify complicated expressions.D. Figure out what a true style is.62. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Getting clothes of leading brands.B. Buying clothes at rather low prices.C. Searching for really good bargains.D. Starting a charity shop selling clothes.63. What is the focus of Shoichi Aoki and his magazine FRUiTS?A. Commercialization of fashion magazines.B. Expression of something personal and creative.C. Designing fashionable wear for men in the street.D. Promoting Japanese traditional clothing worldwide64. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. How to find the style that suits youB. Where to pick up a bargainC. What to wear to develop your styleD. Whom to model to be popularDJ.K. Rowling is the author of the most successful book series in history, but her attempt to take on a new career as a screenwriter hasn’t been as smooth as she may have thought it would be. The sequel(续篇), “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”, shows that even the most successful author in the world is in need of checks and balances when making the transition to cinema.Following the sale of half a billion copies of the Harry Potter series, Rowling is working hard to extend and enrich the mythology she created around the child wizard. In contrast to the eight Harry Potter movies, which were based on the seven books and most of which were written by experienced screenwriter Steve Kloves, the “Fantastic Beasts” series is scripted only by Rowling. This time she skipped the bookstores and went straight to the movie theater.The “Fantastic Beasts” series takes its title from one of Harry Potter’s textbooks. The leap backward in time, a new set of adult heroes and a globe-spanning background show that Rowling is in tune with her fans and the spirit of the times. Harry Potter and his friends started out as a typical product of 1990s naivety, but since then the loyal veteran audience has experienced the shocks of the 21st century and grown mature and discouraged. The “Fantastic Beasts” series feel less like children’s fare; they deal with adults and frightening events that occurred in Europe at the end of the 1920s.It’s 1927, and the criminal Grindelwald has escaped from prison to Europe. The hero, Newt Scamander, a zoologist of fantastic beasts, prefers to distance himself from politics and maintain his improvised nature reserve in London. But the young Prof. Dumbledore reminds him that neutrality is not an option in hard times. Dumbledore urges him to cross the Channel to Paris and stop Grindelwald, who is trying to plot a war to ensure the purity of the wizard race.The rough outline of the plot constitutes only part of the movie. There are many other characters who appear in the mystery. I will mention the boy Credence who continues to have a central role in the struggle between the hero and the villain, even as his background remains a mystery. Similarly, Newt’s brother and partner, thesnake-woman Nagini, and other new and old characters hint at an obscure past and future. Rowling populates her world with characters large and small, odd beasts and simplifies its story to lay the foundation work of the universe. The film lays strong foundations of mystery, but forgets to build any sort of structure above them. It’s like a construction site where the budget ran out too fast.With movie screens full of superheroes and fantasy films, and every studio trying to float a fictional universe, Rowling is today’s most creative builder of cinema worlds, but there’s still a difference between her and amega-corporation like Disney. Every character and beast is there because Rowling said so, not because the marketing division thought it would promote sales of merchandise. Rowling clearly has a true passion to create a mythology, and just as clearly, she hasn’t yet finished creating it.The “Fantastic Beasts” series offers a world even fuller than that of Harry Potter. Once more she collaborates with David Yates, who directed the last four Harry Potter movies and now the two “Fantastic Beasts” pictures. Still, the world she’s created would be even more wondrous if Rowling had only filled it out with a crystallized or at least coherent plot. In the Harry Potter series, she mostly succeeded in making the films into independent works. But without experienced screenwriters to mediate between her imagination and the screen, the two “Fantastic Beasts”episodes are more like a chess game in which the creator moves characters from A to B as part of a broader strategy---which remains unclear.“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is a film made for existing fans and doesn’t bother to appeal to a new audience. Not by chance does it offer a more mature world for fans who have grown up at least as much as Daniel Radcliffe. For them, the movie delivers the goods, but little of the magic remains. If Rowling continues to put out films without a beginning and an end, her world will collapse, leaving only the middle. It may be entertainment with captivating characters and effects, but it’s not a movie.65. What changes has J.K. Rowling made in her writing career?A. She was forced to abandon her original writing career and start a new one.B. She was determined to skip the bookstores and publish books on her own.C. She started a new fantasy book having nothing to do with the Harry Potter series.D. She tried to enrich the Harry Potter series as a screenwriter rather than a novelist.66. Who are probably the target audience of the “Fantastic Beasts” series?A. Kids newly introduced to magic.B. Teenage students with grand dreams.C. Adults going through life changes.D. Professional critics of fantasy books.67. What are the features of the “Fantastic Beasts” series?A. Complex story and exciting characters.B. Simple story but abundant characters.C. Childish story and strange characters.D. Sad story but inspiring characters.68. Big corporations like Disney choose movie characters and beasts based on _____.A. potential profitability of the moviesB. preference of their screenwritersC. consultation with the original authorD. investigation into successful films69. How does the author explain Rowling’s failure to create a clear plot?A. By describing shooting processes.B. By listing official statistics.C. By drawing a comparison.D. By citing examples.70. What does the author think of J. K. Rowling’s performance as a screenwriter?A. It is really a disappointment for movie goers.B. It is widely acknowledged by her book fans.C. There exits much more magic in her screenplay.D. There is still much room for improvement.第三部分阅读理解(共15 小题;每小题2 分,满分30 分)56. C 57. D 58. C 59. A 60. B 61. D 62. C 63. B 64. A 65. D 66. C 67. B 68.

阅读限时练(三) 必修3Unit 3Back to thepast (A卷)(对应学生用书第289页)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017年湖南长沙高三年级统一模拟考试)In between running one of the world's largest charitable agencies and acting as Microsoft's technology advisor, Bill Gates manages to find time to read books, both long and short.Now Gates—who has been labeled a “greedy”reader—has released a list of his favorite books.All of the books are standout reads, according to the billionaire, most of which are focused on business and economy.Here are Bill's top four picks ( with parts of his full review of each book).Business Adventures, by John BrooksBrooks' collection was published in 1969 and remains one of Gates' favorites.He re-read it again this year, labeling it the best business book he has ever read.“Shortly after we met, Warren Buffett lent me this collection of business articles from TheNe w Yorker from the 1950s and 1960s.I loved them as much as he did.Brooks' insights(洞察力)into business have aged beautifully, and they are as true today as ever.”Capital in the Twenty-First Century, by Thomas PikettyPiketty's novel hit the shelves in August 2013 and sparked much discussion concerning income inequality throughout this year.Gates also got to sit down with Piketty himself after reading the non-fiction work to discuss the topic.“As I told him, although I have concerns about some of his secondary points and policy prescriptions, I agree with his most important conclusions:inequality is a growing problem and governments should play a role in reducing it.”How Asia Works, by Joe StudwellStudwell's work, which was published in May 2014, addresses how countries such as Japan, South Korea and China have continued to achieve high growth, and why other countries have failed to do the same.“The agriculture section of the book was particularly insightful.It provided ample food for thought for me as well as the whole agriculture team at our foundation.And it left usthinking about whether parts of the Asian model can apply in Africa.”Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization, by Vaclay SmilSmil's books are a constant favorite of the Microsoft's founder—one of his books makes Gates' list almost every year.“Making the Modern World” came out late in 2013 and explores the global use of materials, from silicon to wood and plastic.“If anyone tries to tell you we're using fewer materials, send him this book.With his usual skepticism and his love of data, Smil shows how our ability to make things with fewer materials—say, soda cans that need less aluminum—makes them cheaper, which actually encourages more production.”【语篇解读】本文介绍了比尔·盖茨喜欢阅读的四本关于商业和经济的书。

She had come there at the same hour on the day previous, and on the day before that; and there was one who knew it.The young man who knew it hovered near. His devotion was rewarded, for, in turning a page, her book slipped from her fingers. The young man ran upon it immediately, returning it to its owner.The girl looked him over leisurely at his ordinary, neat dress. “You may sit down, if you like,”she said, in a deliberate contralto(女低音).“Do you know,”he said, “that you are the most charming girl I have ever seen? I had my eye on you yesterday. Didn’t know somebody was obsessed by those pretty lamps of yours, did you, honeysuckle?”“Whoever you are,”said the girl, in icy tones, “you must remember that I am a lady. I will excuse the remark you have just made because the mistake was, doubtless, not an unnatural one—in your circle.”“I seriously beg your pardon,”said the young man. His expression of satisfaction had changed to regret and shame.“Abandon the subject, if you please. Now, tell me about these people passing and crowding. Where are they going? Why do they so hurry?Are they happy?”The young man had promptly abandoned his air of coquetry(嬉皮笑脸). “It is interesting to watch them,”he replied, “It is the wonderful drama of life. One wonders what their histories are.”“I do not,”said the girl, “I am not so curious about others’stories. I come here to sit because here, only, I can be near the great, common, beating heart of humanity. Can you guess why I spoke to you?”The girl, held up a slender finger, and smiled slightly. “Because I wanted to talk, for once, with a natural man—one unspoiled by the dirty gloss of wealth. Oh! You do not know how tired I am of it—money, money, money! I am sick of jewels, of travel, of society, of luxuries,of all kinds.Sometimes the very tinkle of the ice in my champagne glass nearly drives me mad.”“I have always liked to read and hear about the ways of wealthy and fashionable folks. Now, I had formed the opinion that champagne is cooled in the bottle and not by placing ice in the glass,”The young man said.The girl gave a musical laugh of genuine amusement. “You should know,”she explained, “that just now it is a fad to put ice in champagne. The idea was originated by a visiting Prince of Tartary wh ile dining at the Waldorf.”“I see,”admitted the young man, humbly.“Sometimes,”continued the girl, “I have thought that if I ever should love a man, it would be one of lowly station. One who is a worker and not a lazy bone. By the way, what is your occupation?”“A very humble one. Were you serious when you said that you could love a man of lowly position?”“Indeed I was.”“I work in a restaurant.”The girl shrank slightly and asked, “Not as a waiter? Labor is noble, though.”“I am not a wai ter. I am a cashier in that restaurant.”The girl consulted a tiny watch upon her left wrist, and rose, hurriedly. “Why are you not at work?”“I am on the night turn,”said the young man. “May I not hope to see you again?”“I do not know. Perhaps—but I must go quickly now. There is a dinner—and, oh! Perhaps you noticed an automobile at the upper corner of the park as you came. Pierre waits for me there. He supposes me to be shopping in the department store across the square. Goodbye.” Passing down the sidewalk, she entered a restaurant. There a redhead girl glanced pointedly at the clock, leaving the cashier’s desk. The girl in gray took her place.The young man walked slowly back along the sidewalk and stepped into the automobile and said two words to the driver:“Club, Henri.”【解题导语】本文为记叙文,改编自欧·亨利的短篇小说《汽车等候的时候》. 小说描述了一个来自底层社会的女出纳员与一个来自上层社会的富家公子之间的故事.4.Which of the following descriptions about the girl in gray is NOT true?A.She is elegant and contented to be badly off.B.She is an ordinary laborer of lowly station.C.She has an admiration for life in the upper class.D.She is deceptive and insincere.A解析:推理判断题. 通读全文,不难发现灰衣女孩是一个爱慕虚荣,幻想上层社会奢华生活的人. 故答案选A.5.Which sentence implies that the girl in gray is not from the upper class?A.Whoever you are, you must remember that I am a lady.B.I come here to sit because here, only, I can be near the great, common, beating heart of humanity.C.Sometimes the very tinkle of the ice in my champagne glass nearly drives me mad.D.If I ever should love a man, it would be one of lowly station.C解析:细节理解题. 由文中的“champagne is cooled in the bottle and not by placing ice in the glass”可知,香槟酒是整瓶冰镇,而不是倒在杯子里放冰块冰镇. 而灰衣女孩却说香槟酒杯中叮当作响的冰块有时让她抓狂. 很明显,女孩在撒谎,她对上层社会生活的不熟悉也暴露无遗. 故答案选C.6.What may be the reason for the girl’s consulting a tiny watch upon her left wrist?A.She was to ask the young man to go back to work.B.She was to check if she was late for the dinner.C.It was about time that she went back to work.D.It was one way to show that she was from the upper class.C解析:细节理解题. 由倒数第二段中的“There a redhead girl glanced pointedly at the clock, leaving the cashier’s desk.

uncut food that your parents packed in your lunch box. That’s because biting into anything that requires the use of the front teeth, is likely to cause rude behavior in kids! At least that’s the conclusion some researchers from Cornell University have made, after observing the behavior of 12 students at a summer camp.The researchers began by dividing the students into two groups. On the first day, one group was given chicken on the bone. The other was provided with the same chicken cut into delicious, bite-size pieces so that the only way to eat it was with a fork. The following day, the food was exchanged, so that the first group received the small pieces and forks, while the second, enjoyed the chicken on the bone. Each day the camp counselors also gave the kids strict instructions to let them stay within a circle with a 9-foot radius.The researcher recorded both the meal time and then asked behavioral experts to evaluate what happened. They agreed that the kids that were required to bite the food were twice as likely to show aggressive behavior and disobey the adults, as those that focused on eating their food with forks. Of course, the latter also showed some rude behavior. If that isn’t bad enough, the former group was also more likely to leave their special circle and even, stand and jump on the picnic tables!This has made Mr. Wansink, who led the research and his team, conclude that for some reasons, kids that bite into their food are more likely to exhibit bad behavior than those forced to eat with forks. Therefore, he advises parents to cut up the food they serve to their kids to enjoy a peaceful meal!【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文.研究表明,孩子吃东西的方式可能会影响他们的行为举止.1.What probably results in kids’ bad behavior?A.The way kids bite into food.B.The way food is cooked.C.The unhealthy food kids eat.D.Their attitude toward the food.A解析:细节理解题.根据第一段第二句“That’s because biting into anything that requires the use of the front teeth, is likely to cause rude behavior in kids!”可知,孩子表现粗鲁和吃东西的方式有关.故选A.2.Paragraph 2 mainly shows ________.A.the result of the researchB.the time on the researchC.the way the research went onD.the difficulties the research facedC解析:段落大意题.根据第二段的内容可知,研究者做了一个实验,主要是为了研究孩子的粗鲁表现是否和吃东西的方式有关.在实验中孩子们被分成两组,然后在两天里分别用不同的方式吃东西.故本段主要写的是实验方式.故选C.3.What can we learn about the students at the summer camp?A.They enjoyed the food there very much.B.They exhibited different levels of rude behavior.C.They were asked to bite the food with care.D.They were likely to behave badly frequently.B解析:细节理解题.根据第三段第二句“They agreed that the kids that were required to bite the food were twice as likely to show aggressive behavior and disobey the adults, as those that focused on eating their food with forks.”可知,因吃饭方式的不同,两组孩子粗鲁的行为出现的次数明显不同.故选B.4.What does Mr. Wansink advise parents to do?A.To eat with their kids often.B.To teach their kids how to eat food.C.To serve their kids with small pieces of food.D.To show their kids good behavior often.C解析:细节理解题.根据最后一段最后一句“Therefore, he advises parents to cut up the food they serve to their kids to enjoy a peaceful meal!”可知,Wansink先生建议家长把孩子吃的食物切成小块.故选C.BIn its early history,Chicago had floods frequently,especially in the spring,making the streetsso muddy that people,horses and carts got stuck.An old joke that was popular at the time went like this:A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street.Asked if he needs help,he replies,“No,thanks.I’ve got a good horse under me.”The city planner decided to build an underground drainage(排水) system,but there simply wasn’t enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level.The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt.This raised the level of the city’s streets by as much as 12 feet.This of course created a new problem:dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago.Building owners were faced with a choice:either change the first floors of their buildings into basements,and the second stories into mainfloors,or hoist(吊起) the entire buildings to meet the new street level.Small wood­frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily.But what about large,heavy structures like the Tremont Hotel, which was a six­story brick building?That’s where George Pullman came in.He had developed some house­moving skills successfully.To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel,Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews(螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building’s foundation.One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews.At Pullman’s sign each man turned his jackscrews by the same amount at the same time,thereby raising the building slowly and evenly.Astonishingly,the Tremont Hotel stayed open during the entire operation,and many of its guests didn’t even notice anything was happening.Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago’s early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem.Now that Chicago’s waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River,the city’s next step was to clean the polluted river.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了芝加哥为了应对洪水泛滥的问题而实行了一些解决方案的故事.5.The author mentions the joke in Paragraph 1 to show________.A.horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB.Chicago’s streets were extremely muddyC.Chicago was very dangerous in the springD.the Chicago people were particularly humorousB解析:推理判断题.根据第一段第一句“In its early history,Chicago had floods frequently,especially in the spring,making the streets so muddy that people,horses and carts got stuck.”可推知,作者提及这个笑话是为了表明芝加哥的街道非常泥泞,故选B.6.The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to________.A.get rid of the street dirtB.lower the Chicago RiverC.fight against heavy floodsD.build the pipes above groundD解析:细节理解题.根据第三段第一句“An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt.”可知,Ellis Chesbrough 让城市规划者相信在地上建管道才能解决洪水泛滥所带来的问题,故选D.7.What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?A.It went on smoothly as intended.B.It interrupted the business of the hotel.C.It involved Pullman in turning ten jackscrews.D.It separated the building from its foundation.A解析:细节理解题.根据第五段内容可推知,用螺旋千斤顶把the Tremont Hotel升高的事项进展顺利,故选A.8.The passage is mainly about the early Chicago’s________.A.popular lifestyles and their influencesB.environmental disasters and their causesC.engineering problems and their solutionsD.successful businessmen and their achievementsC解析:主旨大意题.结合全文可知,本文主要讲的是早期芝加哥如何应对洪水泛滥的问题的故事,故选C.。

Here’s how to stay true to yours.If you hope to have your life shaped according to your ideals, you have to know what those ideals are. Perhaps begin sessions by identifying the concepts that are most important from a list: honesty, structure, family and so on. Those qualities are influenced by your parents, your culture and society as a whole, but you have to lake ownership of your own decisions.Almost all of these qualities are things most of us desire to hold dear. To determine which principles are more than just desires, reflect on situations that resonate(共鸣)with yourself.Identifying your values will guide you in the right direction, but a few strategies can help you follow through. Before you make a big decision, do something that will put you in high spirit exercise, socialize with friends, volunteer. Researchers theorize that such activities improve our mood, which promotes dopamine levels in certain areas of the brain, improving our cognitive abilities and helping us weigh different options.Trouble is, the toughest decisions often arrive at the most inconvenient limes. When you’re under force, ask a family member, a friend or. in certain cases, a professional for advice. They can provide advice that’s not slightly influenced by the work deadline, or leaky roof gradually weakening your mental energy.Of course, people make decisions that contradict their ideals all the time. There are lots of values we hold dear and they frequently come into conflict with one another. It’s not so much that people don't know what they warn; it’s that there ar e many things we desire, and we don’t always know how to compromise.While a single decision can seem like a tug-of-war between competing desires, broader life choices don't need to be a definitive either/or question. One who likes traveling worldwide might temporarily put off a grand trip to explore locations closer to home, or commit to setting aside time for vacation with their family every summer, no matter what else comes up.Surround yourself with people who, besides sharing your passion, can also prevent you from hesitating. A group can remind you, “Hey, we’re doing this because we love it.” If you’re still struggling, even after seeking out community support, there’s no shame in revising your core values. If you’re determined to take part in a charity program but spend the evening with friends instead, it maybe time lo accept that friendship is more important to you than volunteerism. Better yet, find opportunities to continue the charity program with your friends.You may learn that what you believed was a core priority actually has much more to do with living up to what your parents, co-workers or others expect. If your values agree with who you南京盐城As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global, we’ve watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don’t know where to focus their efforts or they haven’t understood how to improve these skills on a practical level. In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you’re looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve----and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you).This is especially true for the development of emotional intelligence because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions. For example, most of us think that we’re good listeners, but very often that’s really not the case. Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance. Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so.To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation, you should use a 360-drgree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI. The key is to find one that guarantees confidentiality to those giving you feedback and that is focused on development and not on performance assessment.Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve. But also consider what your goals are. When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, you’re at a huge disadvantage if you’re only interested because others said you should be. Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in hour sense of self that being intrinsically(内在的) motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does when simply learning a skill.That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the intersection of the feedback you’ve gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations(渴望). Understanding the impacts of your current EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long haul as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence.Once you’ve determined which EI skills you want to focus on, identify specific actions that you’ll take. If you’re working on becoming a better listener, for example, you might decide thatwhen you’re conversing with someone you’ll take the time to pause, listen to what they have to say, and check that you understand before you reply. Keep it specific. You should also take every naturally occurring opportunity to practice the skill you’re developing, no matter how small.By starting to change your routine reactions, you’ll be well on your way to figuring out the old habits that aren’t serving you well and transforming them into new, improved ones that do.南通Life can be overwhelming (令人不知所措的).We want to do as much as we can, see the world, learn new things — and it can all get a bit too much. Sometimes we reach a point when we feel that we can no longer be interested in everything. We have to shut some of life out, and we don’t like that. We are living under the fal se assumption that to know anything worthwhile takes years of study, so we might as well forget it.But sometimes inside us rebels. We still want to learn new things and make new things. They don’t have to be big things. Coping with too big a challenge can be daunting (令人怯步的).The secret is to be a “micromaster” by perfecting lots and lots of small things — for a big payoff.A micromastery is a self-contained unit of doing, complete in itself, but connected to a greater field. You can perfect that single thing and move on to bigger things. A micromastery is the way we learn as kids. You never absorb all the fundamentals straight away 一you learn one cool thing, then another. Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has written about “flow” 一 a state in which time seems to be suspended because our involvement in what we’re doing is so great. A micromastery,because it is repeatable without being repetitious, has all the elements that allow us to enter a flow state, which produces great contentment.As we get older our default setting (默认设置)becomes “off” not “on”. We stop getting interested in new things because we haven’t got enough time or energy. This is an excuse but whocan blame us when we hear we need 10,000 hours to “master” something. Micromastery slices thro ugh all the excuses. You start with something so small and easy that it doesn’t impact on your life except positively.We envy the person who has a perfect French accent, who can roll kayak, or compose a poem that isn’t laughable,who can lay a brick wall that doesn’t fall down. These are regarded as hard things to learn which mean a greater mastery of the filed concerned. But with micromastery you can start with the test piece and then — and only then — do you go back upstream to learn anything more about the new world.Seeing the world in terms of micromasteries makes anything seem possible. Fancy bookbinding? Yoga? Tap dancing or tank driving? All have their micromasteries. It’s very liberating — you no longer have to feel trapped in your day job. You will start, in a small way, to get your life back from the idea that the world seems to push on us that we should do just one thing all our lives.天一等四校联考According to a biblical account found in The Book of Genesis, people once spoke the same language. Then, because those people banded together to build a tower in Babylon that glorified their own achievements, rather than those of their deity (神), God punished them. He ensured that mankind spoke different languages so that they would never be able to work together to dishonor God again.Was there once just a single language that all people could understand? Linguists don’t know; there’s just not enough information about the origins of language, and there are only theories about how our early ancestors formed their first words and sentences. Did early people imitate soundsthey heard in the environment? Did they babble until certain sounds took on meaning? We’ll probably never know, though linguists still study baby brains to determine if language or grammar comes naturally in our heads.One prominent theory about the development of the first languages relates to tools and resources. Teaching another person how to use tools requires a certain, agreed-upon vocabulary, as does the process of sharing and protecting resources like food and shelter. Small groups of people living in close quarters would therefore need to develop a way to understand each other, so they came up with a vocabulary and syntax that meant something to them. A group of people across the world, though, would probably need an entirely different vocabulary of words, so the languages would have developed differently in isolation.So these small groups of people, living in isolation from one another, agreed on names for their tools and food, and they came up with ways to describe how resources would be divided. But when another group migrated into the area, or came with different resources to trade, the groups had to find a way to merge (融合) their different vocabularies and communicate. Over time, that’s how languages have developed, and as some groups conquered others, that’s how some languages died out.Travel among groups who speak different languages has been difficult over history. In a global world, wouldn’t there be a benefit to speak the same language? Some groups have advocated that a universal language be adopted, but it would be difficult to find any group willing to give up their own language if only because so much culture and history becomes rooted in it over time. After all, the English would no sooner give up the language of Shakespeare than the Spanish would abandon the tongue of Cervantes. Attempts to create a universal second language have failed as well, but even if we could agree on a common language, it’s unlikely it would resemble itself 100 years from now. After all, thanks to the Internet’s influence, language has become a mix of emoticons and abbreviations like LOL. Languages simply evolve too rapidly to ever speak just one.3月联考Is loneliness a health epidemic?In recent decades, researchers have discovered that loneliness left untreated is not just psychically painful; it also can have serious medical consequences. Rigorous epidemiological studies have linked loneliness and social isolation to heart disease, cancer, depression, diabetes and suicide. Vivek Murthy, the former United States surgeon general, has written that loneliness and social isolation are “associated with a reduction in life span similar to that caused by smoking 15 cigarettes a day and even g reater than that associated with obesity.”But is loneliness, as many political officials and pundits are warning, a growing “health epidemic” (流行病)?I don’t believe so, nor do I believe it helps anyone to describe it that way. Social disconnection is a serious matter, yet if we set off a panic over its prevalence (流行) and impact, we’re less likely to deal with it properly.Anxiety about loneliness is a common feature of modern societies. Today, two major causes of loneliness seem possible. One is that societies throughout the world have embraced a culture of individualism. More people are living alone, and aging alone, than ever. Neoliberal (新自由主义的) social policies have turned workers into insecure free agents, and when jobs disappear, things fall apart fast. Labor unions, civic associations, neighborhood organizations, religious groups and other traditional sources of social solidarity are in steady decline. Increasingly, we all feel that we’re on our own.The other possible cause is the rise of communication technology, including smartphones, social media and the internet. A decade ago, companies like Facebook, Apple and Google promised that their products would help create meaningful relationships and communities. Instead, we’ve used the media system to deepen existing divisions, at both the individual and group levels. We may have thousands of “friends” and “followers” on Facebook and Instagram, but when it comes to human relationships, it turns out there’s no substitute for building them the o ld-fashioned way, in person.In light of these two trends, it’s easy to believe we’re experiencing an “epidemic” of loneliness and isolation. Surprisingly, though, the best data do not actually show a boom in either loneliness or social isolation. Yet the research tells us something more specific. In places like the United States and Britain, it’s the poor, unemployed, displaced (无家可归的) and migrant populations that are suffering most from loneliness and isolation. Their lives are unstable, and so are their relationships. When they get lonely, they are the least able to get adequate social or medical support.参考答案苏锡常镇71. match 72. shape 73. factors 74. determining/deciding 75. mood 76.

Robins are singing all night—as well as during the day,British-based researchers say.David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clocks, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds' health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night.He told people at a conference, “There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy.”And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, “In Glasgow where I live, gulls are a seriousproblem. I have people coming to me saying ‘You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls?’.During the breeding(繁殖)season, between April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep.”Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.However, some birds thrive(兴旺)in noisy environments. A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery. It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敌) fleeing to quieter areas.4. According to Dr Dominoni's study,what causes robins to sing so much?A. The breeding season.B. The light in modern life.C. The dangerous environment.D. The noise from heavy machinery.5. What is the researchers' concern over the increase of birds' song output?A. The environment might be polluted.B. The birds' health might be damaged.C. The industry cost might be increased.D. The people's hearing might be affected.6. What does the underlined word “nocturnal”in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Active at night.B. Inactive at night.C. Active during the day.D. Inactive during the day.7. Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments?A. Because there are fewer dangers.B. Because there is more food to eat.C. Because there is less light pollution.D. Because there are more places to take shelter.C(2015·长春外国语期中)Paparazzi is an Italian word referred to photographers who takepictures of famous people when they are not at the center of public attention. It is also called “paps”. Paps are different from professional photographers or journalists because they never take ordinary photos.The goal for paparazzi is to get pictures that no one else will get and then sell the pictures to the buyer who offers the most money—normally a small newspaper, magazine or website.There is no law against paparazzi taking pictures in public places. However, there are laws that protect certain individuals. For example, child protection laws stop improper pictures of anyone under 16 from being published.There is also no law that stops paparazzi from following celebrities(名人) and taking their pictures either. However, if paps are secretly following them and taking pictures of their faces, they could get into trouble.Most paparazzi hang out on streets and hot spots for celebrities, waiting for the opportunity to take a picture of a star. Many stay on the streets until the early hours of the morning when celebrities are leaving nightclubs and looking a little worse for wear. However, some have other ways t o make sure they get pictures. Many paps are in contact with “informers” who know the locations of celebrities at any given time. They then pass the information on to paparazzi. An informer could be anyone—from a restaurant waiter to a salesman.Most of the time, paparazzi get a bad reputation for following celebrities. But sometimes stars or their managers will contact paps themselves and tell them exactly where and when they will go.What a love-hate relationship between paparazzi and celebrities!8. Which of the following things paparazzi might do would be against the law?A. Taking pictures of famous people in public places.B. Hanging out at the places where celebrities often appear.C. Getting unsuitable pictures of a 10-year-old actress published.D. Following a famous woman singer secretly and taking her pictures.9. In order to earn a large amount of money, a pap has to ________.A. know the locations of celebritiesB. make friends with famous peopleC. sell the pictures to a big newspaperD. get the only first-hand pictures of celebrities10. The fifth paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. how paparazzi contact informersB. how dangerous paparazzi's job isC. how paparazzi get the pictures of famous peopleD. how much paparazzi pay for the pictures of celebrities11. What can we infer from the passage?A. Informers might get paparazzi into trouble.B. Stars hate paparazzi and don't want to be followed.C. Paparazzi always take pictures when famous people are tired.D. In some cases, paparazzi and famous people rely on each other.D(2015·全国卷Ⅰ) The freezing north-east hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part—particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables—was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries; the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I've refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they're unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown's Grove Farm's stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal—and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again formonths.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where—luckily for me—I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it.12. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Annoying.13. What made the author's getting up early worthwhile?A. Having a swim.B. Breathing in fresh air.C. Walking in the morning sun.D. Visiting a local farmers' market.14. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A. They are soft.B. They look nice.C. They taste great.D. They are juicy.15. What was the author going to do that evening?A. Go to a farm.B. Check into a hotel.C. Eat in a restaurant.D. Buy fresh vegetables.试卷A【文章大意】1.C 解析:细节理解题。

江苏省2019届高三英语一轮阅读理解练习(3)AImagine a boy from a small village in East Africa, He from a very early age has been looking after cattle. At twelve years old he knows mote about cattle than most of you. However, he has never been to school. Has dais boy ever had any education?Education is discovering about ourselves and about the people and things around us. All the people who care about us — our parents, brothers , sisters, friends — are our teachers. In fact, we learn something from everyone we meet. We start learning on the day we are born, not on the first day" we go to school . Every day we have new experiences, like finding a bird's nest, discovering a new street in our neighborhood, making friends with someone we didn't like before. New experiences are even more fun when we share them with other people.Encouragement from the people around us enables us to explore things as much as possible. As we grow up, we begin to find out what we are capable of doing. You may be good at cooking, or singing or playing football. You find this out by doing these things. Just thinking about cooking doesn't tell you if you are good at it.We learn so much just living from day to day. So why is school important? Of course you can learn some things better at home than at school, like how to do the shopping, and how to help old or disabled people who can' t do everything for themselves. At school, teachers help us to read and write. With their guidance, we begin to see things in different ways.1. The writer takes the African boy as an example to show that _______.A. African children are very poorB. some children are unluckyC. education takes many waysD. schools are of great importance2. In the eyes of the writer .A. we have to learn from the people around usB. school is not important at allC. only the people caring for us can teach usD. education takes place everywhere3. One can find out what lie is good at by _ .A. the encouragement of people aroundB. the teachings of those lie or she meetsC. thinking of it when growing upD. trying mid practicing it4. How the writer looks at the role of school is that .A. school is not so important as our living placesB. school enables us to understand the world in other waysC. school teaches us something useless at homeD. school cannot prepare us for our daily lives5. The passage tells us that _ .A. everyone gets education from the day lie or she is bornB. different education trains different classes of peopleC. school is absolutely necessary if one wants to understand the worldD. everyone will find out what he or she is good atBAmong the most heatedly discussed issues about the Chinese film industry in 2004 was probably the absence of a film rating system — claimed to be a vital part of the upcoming China Motion Picture Industry Promotion Law.The law is expected to offer a legal basis for a wide range of issues that worried the local film industry including copyright infringement(侵犯), online piracy(侵权) of films and pirated films in such forms as VCDs, DVDs, and most recently the so - called compressed DVDs."The film rating or classification system is very common for film producers, distributors and exhibitors worldwide, as many countries and regions adopted such systems decades ago," said Li Ershi, a Chinese film historian with the Beijing Film Academy."The Chinese public and film industry have long called for the establishment of such a law," he added.Over the years, Chinese films have been put into categories according to their subject matters such as rural, military, industry or urban themes.On March 1, 1989, the former administration of the Ministry of Radio, Film, and Television issued the Circular Concerning the Examination and Rating System for Certain Films that roughly specified(指定)four types of films as "unsuitable for child audiences."The regulation was first applied to a controversial film entitled "Widow Village", which features some love scenes.But this rating system didn't work very well in protecting child audiences at local level.Over the years, it has often been reported that some film distributors and exhibitors even label some films as "unsuitable for child audiences" in a bid to attract curious viewers.Since 1994, China has introduced many Western popular films, many of which were rated "PG'' for "Parental Guidance" in the USA but shown in Chinese cinemas without any labels, especially for teenagers or younger children, because China does not have a film rating system. Li said.6. According to the article, which of the following statements is true?A. China Motion Picture Industry Promotion Law, with the film rating system in it, has been put into practice.B. China Motion Picture Industry Promotion Law has been put into practice without the film rating systemC. Both China Motion Picture Industry Promotion law and the film rating system are still under discussion and revision.D. The film rating system puts Chinese films into categories according to their subject matters.7. The film rating system is vital because .A. it is very common worldwide and many countries and regions have adopted itB. it can solve all the problems that the Chinese film industry has had so farC. it is a powerful weapon against some unhealthy Western films coming into China in large numbersD. the old regulation is out of date and couldn't clearly tell the difference between the suitable and the unsuitable films8. Which of the following is the best title for the news ?A. Film Rating System A MustB. China Motion Picture Industry Promotion lawC. New Film Rating System and Old RegulationD. New Film Rating System Against some Unhealthy Western FilmsCA historic journey across the Solar System reached its end on Friday as a little probe (探测器)took a big step for human knowledge.The US $ 3 billion Cassini-Huygens mission(使命), a joint project of NASA and the European and Italian space agencies was launched in 1997 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, to study Saturn, its rings, its moons and its magnetosphere(磁层) — which surrounds it.Huygens was named after the Dutch scientist who discovered Titan in 1655, NASA officials said. Some science team members monitoring the flight at the European Space Agency's Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany, have waited tens of years to see the first of 750 pictures and other scientific readings from the yellow- skied moon." I have been in this mission almost 21 years and I' m very excited," ESA mission manager Jean -Pierre LeBreton said at a news conference on Thursday.“I’m also quite sure we arc goin g to see something very special tomorrow (on Friday) " Timers inside the probe will awaken it just before it enters Titan's atmosphere. Huygens is shaped like a wok(锅) and covered with a heat shield(防护装置) so that it can survive the extreme heat that it will face upon entry. It will then unfold a series of parachutes to slow its fall to the moon's reddish surface, expected to take about 2.5 hours.As it goes down, the probe will lose its heat shield and unfold its special camera and instruments tobegin collecting information on wind speeds and the makeup of Titan's atmosphere. This is the momentscientists have been waiting for. This data will then be sent back to Cassini, which will relay it to NASA’s Deep Space Network in California and on to ESA controlle rs in Darmstadt German. Scientists believe the organic chemical reaction taking place on Titan are similar to the process that gave rise to life on Earth.Its atmosphere is mostly nitrogen, like Earth, but its surface temperature of about minus 180℃makes it improper to life.Titan, believed to be the only moon in the solar system with an atmosphere, is larger than the planets Mercury and Pluto.9. Huygens was named after .A. an ESA mission managerB. a Dutch scientist who discovered Saturn in 1655C. an astronomer who first discovered TitanD. scientists from NASA and the European and Italian space agencies10. What does "the yellow-skied moon" refer to?A. Saturn.B. Titan.C. The moon around the earth.D. Solar System.11. According to the text, the following statements are all true except ______.A. scientists think Titan is bigger than Mercury and PlutoB. the information to be collected by Huygens will be sent back to Cassini, then to NASA's Deep Space Network and last to ESA controllersC. some science team member have waited decades and seen the first of 750 images and other scientific readings from the yellow-skied moonD. only NASA. has been working for the project of HuygensDI don' t know if I am missing the greatest pleasure of my life. I am no fan of computer games. Some guys forget themselves and forget day and night when they play games. For example, a colleague has been playing since 1 o’clock this morning and now it is 7 o'clock. He is still commanding his army of little people to attack strange-looking animals. Some games could be fun, 1 admit, and it is therefore understandable that such a game catches players. For example, games like Red Storm or some role-play games, you do something and try to outwit(智胜) your computer. You get some fun out of these games. It is understandable that such a game pushes you into a pitfall(陷阱) of pleasures. But some games look quite stupid and simple. Again for example, my colleague has been interested in Stone Age, a cartoon-like game rooted in prehistoric time. The game is well made, full of strange people and animals and you can play on line with partners. You can have reference books to study so as to shortcut your rivals(对手) and increase your own conquering power.I believe some kinds of games are really created for adults. But seeing these adults play the simple games with such interest, I just wonder if there is something wrong with me and if I am losing the greatest possible fun of my life. I ask why I don' t bother playing such games and why I seem to have some aversion(讨厌) to such games. I have no answers. Certainly computer games is no my idea of a good time. I would rather listen to some music or read a book. Take music for example. Good music tops my list of pleasures. Nothing could beat music, all in a harmony of sounds and emotions. But how about games? Why an I so strongly biased(偏见) against such games?12. From the passage we know that ______.A. the author is a fan of computer games.B. the author spends much time playing computer gamesC. the author once played a whole nightD. the author doesn't like playing computer games13. In this passage, the author tells us a fact that ______.A. some computer games are interesting enough to attract peopleB. many people fall into a dangerous pitfallC. many people are suffering a lot from the computer gamesD. computer games are pitfalls for most players14. The underlined word "bother" here means ______.A. make troubleB. concern aboutC. disturbD. confuse15. The author has a pleasure to ______.A. make a computer gameB. to read booksC. to listen to good musicD. ask himself questionsE"Calling tower," the pilot's voice crackled. "This is an emergency!" The radio operator in the control tower looked at his watch. It was 3:15 p.m. Lieutenant Charles Taylor and five Navy bombers were in trouble. "We are off course. We cannot see land…repeat…we cannot see land."The control tower grew silent. The operator garbed (戴上) his microphone. "What is your position? We are not sure of our position," Lieutenant Taylor replied. "We seem to be lost." Taylor had over 2,500 hours of flight time. What was happening?The tower called back: "Assume bearing(方位) due west." "We don't know which way is west," Taylor replied. "Everything is wrong…strange… We cannot be sure of any direction…Even the ocean looks odd…" The radio operator told Taylor to fly north "with the sun on the left" until he reached a Naval Air Station. Anyone could find the sun, especially a good pilot like Taylor. Soon the radio crackled again. "We have just passed over a small island," said the pilot. "No other land in sight." That was the last message Flight 19 sent to the radio tower. Five Navy bombers were lost. They had left the Naval Air Station for a routine(常规的) training flight at 2:00 p.m., December 5, 1945.
