高三英语最新时文阅读(A)China in flu fightAS China faces up to a battle against bird flu, the government announced a range of control measures it believes will bring the disease under control.H5N1 avian influenza, known commonly as bird flu, has killed at least 16 people across Asia and was confirmed (确定) in China on January 27. No human cases have been found in the mainland but, as of Friday, 13 of the country's 31 provinces, autonomous regions (自治区), and municipalities (直辖市) had reported the disease in poultry."It remains a difficult task for China to prevent and control the disease but the government is confident in the fight,"said Vice-Minister of Agriculture Liu Jian.He gave details of a range of measures designed to stop the disease spreading. Poultry within 3km of infected farms is to be killed and those within 5km vaccinated. Meanwhile, there will be constant monitoring (监控) and daily reports on the disease across the country, and increased production of bird flu vaccines.Among the 11 Asian countries and regions affected by bird flu in animals, only Viet Nam and Thailand have reported human cases. The people infected were reported to have caught the disease from poultry.While the World Health Organization (WHO) has said there is "no proof of human-to-human transmission"of bird flu, it admitted that two sisters who died of bird flu in Viet Nam may have caught it from their brother.The big fear is that the disease could combine with a human influenza virus (病毒) to create a deadly new disease that kills millions of people across the globe.Peter Cordingley, spokesman of the WHO Western Pacific Regional Office based in Manila, the Philippines, said that Asian countries affected by bird flu should introduce a more healthy way of raising and selling chickens.Many Asian farmers live closely with their animals and sell live chickens on the market. This greatly increases the possibility of humans being infected with bird flu."They have to completely change their lifestyle and attitude towards animals,"he said.How to stay healthy* Keep fit and well through regular exercise;* Avoid infected poultry and infected people;* Avoid eating raw (生的) or under-done poultry and eggs;* Make sure there is good ventilation (通风) in your home;* Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing;* Wash your hands frequently.1. Pre-reading: (Brainstorming)When you hear "bird flu", what words come to your mind?2. Translate the following expressions:1) 中国面临一场防控禽流感的大战。

WEEK 3 社会生活（2）一、阅读理解（共12小题；共24分）AA two-year-old boy accidentally shot and killed his mother after he reached into her purse at a northern Idaho Wal-Mart and her concealed(隐藏的) gun fired.Veronica J. Rutledge, 29, was staying with her son and three other children at that time. Rutledge was from Blackfoot in southeastern Idaho, and her family had come to the area to visit relatives.Rutledge had a concealed weapons permit. The young boy was left in a shopping cart, reached into his mother's purse and grabbed a small handgun, which discharged one time.Rutledge's husband was not in the store, when the shooting happened at about 10:20 a.m. The man arrived shortly after the shooting. All the children were taken to a relative's house.The shooting occurred in the Wal-Mart in Hayden, Idaho, a town about 40 miles northeast of Spokane, Washington State. The store closed and was not expected to reopen until Wednesday morning. Brooke Buchanan, a spokeswoman for Wal-Mart, said in a statement the shooting was a "very sad and tragic accident". "We are working closely with the local police department while they investigate what happened," Buchanan said.There do not appear to be reliable national statistics about the number of accidental fatalities involving children handling guns. In neighboring Washington State, a 3-year-old boy was seriously injured in November when he accidentally shot himself in the face in a home in Lake Stevens, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Seattle. In April, a 2-year-old boy shot and killed his 11-year-old sister while the siblings played with a gun inside a Philadelphia home. Authorities said the gun was believed to have been brought into the home by the mother's boyfriend.Idaho lawmakers passed legislation earlier this year allowing concealed weapons on the state's public college and university campuses.Despite facing opposition from all eight of the state's university presidents, lawmakers sided with gun rights advocates who said the law would better uphold the Constitution.Under the law, gun holders are barred from bringing their weapons into dormitories or buildings that hold more than 1,000 people, such as stadiums or concert halls.1. The two-year-old boy shot and killed his mother .A. by chanceB. on purposeC. in angerD. for fun2. What was Veronica J. Rutledge doing when the shooting happened?A. She was visiting a relative.B. She was visiting a doctor.C. She was doing some shopping.D. She was driving a car.3. What do you know about Spokane?A. It is a small town in Idaho State.B. It lies to the southwest of Hayden.C. It lies to the northeast of Hayden.D. The killed mother lived there.4. According to the law of Idaho, bringing the weapons into concert halls is .A. legalB. illegalC. necessaryD. commonBDenmark is a small nation of about 5.5 million people. The United States is a melting pot of more than 315 million people. There is no doubt that Denmark and the United States are very different countries. Nonetheless, are there lessons that we can learn from Denmark?Today in the United States there is a massive amount of economic anxiety. Unemployment is too high and wages and income are too low. The gap between the very rich and everyone else is growing wider. However, in Denmark, social policies ensure that almost no one falls into economic despair. While it is difficult to become very rich in Denmark, no one is allowed to be poor.While millions of Americans are struggling to find affordable health care, health care in Denmark is universal and free of charge. Everybody is covered. The Danish health care system is popular, with patient satisfaction much higher than in our country.Danes understand that the first few years of a person's life are the most important in terms of intellectual and emotional development. In order to give strong support to expecting parents, mothers get four weeks of paid leave before giving birth. They get another 14 weeks of paid leave afterward. In the USA, working mothers enjoy no paid leave before and after giving birth and young working families search desperately for affordable child care.At a time when college education in the United States is increasingly unaffordable and the average college graduate leaves school more than $25,000 in debt, virtually all higher education in Denmark is free.In Denmark, adequate leisure and family time are considered an important part of having a good life. Every worker in Denmark is entitled to five weeks of paid vacation plus eleven paid holidays. And the United States is the only major country that does not guarantee its workers paid vacation time. Recently the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has found that the Danish people rank among the happiest in the world among some 40 countries. However, America did not crack the top 10.The United States, in size, culture, and the diversity of our population, is a very different country from Denmark. Can we, however, learn some important lessons from them? You bet we can.5. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. How Can the US Catch up with Denmark?B. What Lessons Can the US Learn from Denmark?C. Where Does the US Differ from Denmark?D. How Did the US Become a Melting Pot?6. Which of the following is NOT true of the USA?A. Free health care.B. High unemployment.C. Low wages and income.D. Lower patient satisfaction.7. Before and after giving birth, a mother in Denmark can get .A. 10 weeks of unpaid leaveB. 10 weeks of paid leaveC. 18 weeks of unpaid leaveD. 18 weeks of paid leave8. We can learn that the passage is developed mainly by .A. quoting proverbsB. making comparisonsC. analyzing factsD. providing examplesCSometimes people simply decide to disappear for their own reasons. In police terms, they are referred to as the "maliciously(恶意地) missing". It's not uncommon for people to choose to vanish if they are facing a criminal trial or jail time. But people choose to disappear for many other reasons.Some disappear for insurance fraud(诈骗). A man named Raymond Roth disappeared while at a Long Island beach in July 2012; his son called 911 to report that his father had gotten lost in the waves.A search by the police found no sign of Roth, who was presumed drowned—until he was stopped for speeding about a week later in South Carolina. Roth was charged with fraud for trying to fake his own death for $400,000 in life insurance and sentenced to prison in April of this year.Some people vanish because they don't want to face their responsibilities. For example, in 2006 a Marine named Lance Hering disappeared during a hike in Colorado's Eldorado Canyon. Hering's disappearance led to one of the most extensive and expensive searches in Boulder County, eventually costing over $33,000. Hering reappeared two years later in Washington. He told police that he faked his disappearance to avoid returning to military duty in Iraq.Others simply decide that they want a change of their lifestyle. Pennsylvania woman Brenda Heist disappeared suddenly, last seen dropping her two children off at school. Heist reappeared in April 2013 in the Florida Keys, 11 years after she vanished. She told police that after she left her kids at school she had met a group of homeless people in a park. She decided to join them because she was tired of her family life. She claimed that she'd spent the previous decade living in a camper with a man she'd met, occasionally homeless, and doing odd jobs to earn money.These maliciously missing persons cases are especially difficult for the police because simply disappearing is not illegal; anyone can quit their job, move overnight, cut off ties with friends and family, and so on. Unless police can prove that a crime was committed, there's little they can do to hold people responsible for their actions.9. Raymond Roth was stopped when he was .A. swimmingB. shoppingC. drivingD. hiking10. Lance Hering disappeared on purpose to .A. escape a criminal trialB. avoid serving in the armyC. cheat life insuranceD. change his dull lifestyle11. Brenda Heist disappeared in .A. 2002B. 2003C. 2005D. 200812. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Where can maliciously missing persons be found?B. How can police cope with the maliciously missing?C. Why do people decide to disappear intentionally?D. What can people do to find the maliciously missing?二、完形填空（共20小题；共30分）Rafael stares at the math problem in front of him: 11x7.

Finns have a sauna at least once a week. Saunas can be found all over Finland: in offices, factories, sports centres and hotel; and 2/3 of the people have one in their house.Some of the basic rules for using the sauna include not eating or drinking. Also, you can't wear any clothes or swimsuits in the sauna. 34. Men and women visit the sauna separately, unless they're members of the same family.Saunas have existed for hundreds of years in Finland. In the past, Finns dug holes in the ground and put heated stones in them. When water was thrown on the hot stones, they gave off a vapour.35. The traditional type is the smoke sauna. We find smoke saunas mostly in rural areas. They're heated with burning wood. Once the room is hot enough, the fire is allowed to die and the room is ventilated(使通风) by letting the smoke out through a hole in the ceiling. 36. With these, you simply turn on an electric stove an hour before you want to go in. This is seen as the safest and easiest way to heat the room.37.

Still a livelihood for 1.5bn people, forests maintain local and regional ecosystems and, for the other 6.2bn, provide a—fragile and creaking—barrier against climate change. Now droughts, wildfires and other human-induced changes are compounding the damage from chainsaws. In the tropics, which contain half of the world’s forest biomass, tree-cover loss has accelerated by two-thirds since 2015; if it were a country, the shrinkage would make the tropical rainforest the world’s third-biggest carbon-dioxide emitter, after China and America.②Nowhere are the stakes higher than in the Amazon basin—and not just because it contains 40% of Earth’s rainforests and harbours 10-15% of the world’s terrestrial species. South America’s naturalwonder may be perilously close to the tipping-point beyond which its gradual transformation into something closer to steppe（没有树的草原）cannot be stopped or reversed, even if people lay down their axes. Brazil’s president, Jair Bolsonaro, is hastening the process—in the name, he claims, of development. The ecological collapse his policies may precipitate would be felt most acutely within his country’s borders, which encircle 80% of the basin—but would go far beyond them, too. It must be averted.③Humans have been chipping away at the Amazon rainforest since they settled there well over ten millennia ago. Since the 1970s they have done so on an industrial scale. In the past 50 years Brazil has given up17% of the forest’s original extent, more than the area of France, to road- and dam-building, logging, mining, soybean farming and cattle ranching. After a seven-year government effort to slow the destruction, it picked up in 2013 because of weakened enforcement and an amnesty(特赦) for past deforestation. Recession and political crisis further pared back the government’s ability to enforce the rules. Now Mr Bolsonaro has happily taken a buzz saw to them. Although congress and the courts have blocked some of his efforts to rob parts of the Amazon of their protected status, he has made it clear that rule-breakers have nothing to fear, despite the fact that he was elected to restore law and order. Because 70-80% of logging in the Amazon is illegal, the destruction has soared to record levels. Since he took office in January, trees have been disappearing at a rate of over two Manhattans a week.④The Amazon is unusual in that it recycles much of its own water. As the forest decreases, less recycling takes place. At a certain point, that causes more of the forest to wither so that, over a matter of decades, the process feeds on itself. Climate change is bringing the point closer every year as the forest heats up. Mr Bolsonaro is pushing it towards the edge. Pessimists fear that the cycle of runaway degradation may kick in when another 3-8% of the forest vanishes—which, under Mr Bolsonaro, could happen soon. There are hints the pessimists may be correct. In the past 15 years the Amazon has suffered three severe droughts. Fires are on the rise.⑤Brazil’s president dismisses such findings, as he does science more broadly. He accuses outsiders of hypocrisy—did rich countries not fell their own forests?—and, sometimes, of using environmental dogma as an excuse to keep Brazil poor. “The Amazon is ours,” the president thundered recently. What happens in the Brazilian Amazon, he thinks, is Brazil’s business.⑥Except it isn’t. A “dieback” would directly hurt the seven other countries with which Brazil shares the river basin. It would reduce the moisture channeled along the Andes as far south as Buenos Aires. If Brazil were damming a real river, not choking off an aerial one, downstream nations could consider it an act of war. As the vast Amazonian store of carbon burned and rotted, the world could heat up by as much as 0.1°C by 2100—not a lot, you may think, but the preferred target of the Paris climate agreement allows further warming of only 0.5°C or so.⑦Mr Bolsonaro’s other arguments are also flawed. Yes, the rich world has razed its forests. Brazil should not copy its mistakes, but learn from them instead as, say, France has, by reforesting while it still can. Paranoia about Western scheming is just that. The knowledge economy values the genetic information sequestered in the forest more highly than land or dead trees. Even if it did not, deforestation is not a necessary price of development. Brazil’s output of soybeans and beef rose between 2004 and 2012, when forest-clearing slowed by 80%. In fact, aside from the Amazon itself, Brazilian agriculture may be deforestation’s biggest victim. The drought of 2015 caused maize farmers in the central Brazilian state of Mato Grosso to lose a third of their harvest.⑧For all these reasons, the world ought to make clear to Mr Bolsonaro that it will not tolerate his vandalism（肆意破坏）. Food companies, pressed by consumers, should abandon soybeans and beefproduced on illegally logged Amazonian land, as they did in the mid-2000s. Brazil’s trading partners should make deals contingent on its good behavior. The agreement reached in June by the EU and Mercosur, a South American trading bloc of which Brazil is the biggest member, already includes provisions to protect the rainforest. It is overwhelmingly in the parties’ interest to enforce them. So too for China, which is anxious about global warming and needs Brazilian agriculture to feed its livestock. Rich signatories(签约国) of the Paris agreement, who pledged to pay developing ones to plant carbon-consuming trees, ought to do so. Deforestation accounts for 8% of global greenhouse-gas emissions but attracts only 3% of the aid earmarked for combating climate change.⑨If there is a green shoot in Mr Bolsonaro’s scorched-earth tactics towards the rainforest, it is that they have made the Amazon’s plight harder to ignore—and not just for outsiders. Brazil’s agriculture minister urged Mr Bolsonaro to stay in the Paris agreement. Unchecked deforestation could end up hurting Brazilian farmers if it leads to foreign boycotts of Brazilian farm goods. Ordinary Brazilians should press their president to reverse course. They have been blessed with a unique planetary heritage, whose value is life-sustaining as much as it is commercial. Letting it perish would be a needless catastrophe.While-class activities:Activity 1: Structure analysis （matching）Para 1 current situationPara 2-7 what to do nextPara 8-9 the importance of forestsActivity 2: Reading comprehension1.What does ‘hastening’ mean in paragraph 2?A.holding backB. slowing downC. speeding upD. taking off2.What can we infer from paragraphs 3 and 4?A.The congress of Brazil didn’t try its best to stop the president’s plan.B.It is the recession and political crisis that helped the rainforest get better protected.C.The future of the Amazon is likely to be bright if another president is elected.D.The Brazil’s president should largely be to blame for the serious situation of the Amazon.3.

Several brands sponsored the project.His goal, he told the local press, was to ascend升高more than 1,500 meters (nearly one mile) to prove that the Earth is not round but shaped like a Frisbee.His spokesman Darren Shuster told the Los Angeles Times, however, that the flat Earth claim was merely to drum up publicity for the launch."I don't think he believed it," Shuster said. "He did have some governmental conspiracy theories. But don't confuse it with that flat Earth thing. That was a PR stunt we dreamed up."Images of the launch, carried out in the desert in front of a crowd of horrified witnesses, circulated on social media.A parachute can be seen tearing away from the rocket moments after the launch, as the spacecraft loops downward and crashes several hundred meters from the launch site near Barstow, 110 miles (180 kilometers) northeast of Los Angeles."It was always his dream to do this launch and Science Channel was there to chronicle记录his journey," said the channel, which filmed the launch for a new series called Homemade Astronauts.Dressed in a red-and-black space suit and posing in front of the rocket, Hughes had announced plans for the launch on the Discovery Channel.Explaining why he would do it, he said, "Just to convince people that they can do things extraordinary with their lives...

And it was hard work: so hard that he was hardly ever at home, and his first wife divorced him. Though he knew almost no English, he still had to take his turn at front-of-house while Albert was manning the stove.They cooked and played host in alternate weeks, knowing well that if they tried to share service there might beblood. Both of them came up with ideas, but his strength lay in details. Precision and patience were a pastrycook's skills. It mattered to him, for instance, that commis waiters should not talk to the customers and that diners should wear ties (he almost refused entry to the Rolling Stones when they turned up without them). Every ingredient原料had its right place, too, and as each arrived he would taste it, unseasoned, to judge exactly where it might sit within a dish.When he and Albert produced cookery books, spreading the revolution to ordinary British kitchens, he, being a perfectionist, wrote the words, just as on their cookery shows he was the suave文雅的and particular main presenter. And in 1986 it made sense to split their interests, so that while his brother went bustling喧闹的after new business he departed for Bray, to run the whitewashed美化former pub on the Thames they had opened a decade before.8.
