It may seem like a simple request to ask for salt and pepper at a meal九、【2021年新高考全国II卷】If the only reading you ever do is the novel or magazine, the speed at which you read probably does not matter very much. But if you have to read a great deal for study, you will appreciate the benefits of being able to read more quickly. ①______Before you open the book, make sure that you are comfortable. You need a seat which supports your back and the book should be at the right distance from your eyes. ②______③______ Look at the table of contents, the preface, the chapter heading, etc. This will help you to decide whether you really need to read the whole book or only certain parts of it. Ten minutes spent in this way could save you quite a lot of time in the long run.If you decide that you need to read the whole book, decide how much you can read at a time. ④______ A history book which may contain the facts in story form will be easier to read than one dealing with scientific subjects. In the former case you may be able to read a chapter. In the latter you may only be able to read one page.Always keep a pencil and paper beside you. ⑤______ Note also the facts important for your purpose as well as anything which leads you to further research. You don't have to write these things in detail. It is enough to put the page number and one or two words as a reminder.A. Stop to have a rest now and then.B. Spend a few minutes looking through the book.C. This depends on the type of book you are reading.D. Here are some tips to help improve your reading speed.E.

It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.The place wasn't entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing(水管) worked. ②_____ Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, "Ouverture des portes," in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it's a shame I don't have much use for it.Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. ③_____ French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.④_____ On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency(效率). You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded. ⑤_____ When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.A. Not all the customers are tourists.B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.E. That's not the only reason the French eat less than we do.F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.G. The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make you happy.十一、【2021年全国乙卷】According to Jessica Hagy, author of How to Be Interesting, it's not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party.①_____, if you're out of your comfort zone or if you're wandering into somebody's house for the first time. So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with a question other than "What do you do for a living?", you'll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you're talking to. ②_____, it can bring in "I have this old, broken-down vehicle" or "I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back." It just opens up conversation.③____? If you can't take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox(讲台), If you're the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. ④_____.And what about that other dinner-party killer: awkward silence? If you're faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is togive the host a compliment(赞扬). ⑤_____. Just quickly turn around and say, "This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it."So being interesting at a dinner party isn't that hard.A.How do you know the hostB.The first step is to go exploringC.If you ask the question "How did you get here?"D.Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangersE.Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to sayF.What about that person who has had too much to drink or won't stop talkingG.He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most十二、【2021年全国甲卷】Swap, Don't Shop!You keep hearing about recycling, right? But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources(资源) to make, and buying loads of new clothing (or throwing out old clothing) is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you're-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor? ①_____. It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.●Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. ②_____, and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.●③_____. They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their "new" clothes home.●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. ④_____. Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.●Set a star ting time. Maybe you say "go," or turn on a certain song, or whatever. ⑤_____. And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!A.Less people than thatB.Hold a clothing swapC.If two people are competingD.Just keep music playing throughoutE.Donate whatever clothes are left overF.Have everyone put their clothes in the right spotsG.Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition答案以及解析一、答案：①-⑤ CGADE解析：①空后一句讲到了"You'll want to look back on your journey to see how far you've come"(你会想要回顾自己的旅程，看看自己已经走了多远），因此空处应该会做一个关于"看什么来回顾"的铺垫，C项中的"your beginner art"可以帮助你看到自己从开始到现在走了多远，故C项符合语境。

河南省2021届高三11月英语试卷精选汇编：阅读理解专题
阅读理解专题河南省南阳市2021届高三上期期中质量评估英语试题第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AFor those looking to explore these natural wonders, all around the world there are volcanoes you can get up close to.Vesuvius, ItalyObviously the most famous volcano in the world, Vesuvius is considered currently dormant(休眠的), but that doesn't mean that it won't erupt at some point.Visiting Vesuvius is more about Mount Vesuvius's past, particularly the destruction of Pompeii in A.D. 79. Though the volcano.seems harmless, the destruction of Pompeii was during a dormant phase of Vesuvius as well.Elevation(海拔): 4,203ftWhite Island, New ZealandMaking headlines recently for an eruption that killed at least five people, White Island, which is uninhabited, is usually a popular tourist attraction. It is also central to New Zealander culture,playing an important role in Maori legends. To access the island, one must take a boat tour, and then one can hike.Elevation: 1,053 ftKilauea, HawaiiThe most active volcano in the world is in Hawaii where volcanoes hold local cultural legends.Nearby is also the Thurston Lava Tube which can be visited, as well as the surrounding lush jungles. The volcano is located on the Big Island, so visiting other attractions, such as Honolulu is a good choice.Elevation: 4,009 ftSakuraji'ma, JapanLess than 5 miles away from the city of Kagoshima, Sakurajima erupts almost every day. Visiting the area is very easy, with ships leaving the city every 15 mins. Once there, Visitors can take a hike or visit the observatory, which is the closest spot to safely view the eruption. The lava has created interesting produce, including the world's largest carrot and the smallest orange.Elevation: 3,665 ft21. Which volcano is the highest?A. Sakurajima, JapanB. Kilauea. Hawaii.C. Vesuvius, Italy.D. White Island. New Zealand.22. What is the similarity between White Island and Kilauea?A. They belong to New Zealand.B. They have jungles around them.C. They become headlines recently.D. They are very important in local culture.23. What can visitors do when visiting Sakurajima?A. Taste the smallest orange.B. Enj oy destruction of Pompeii.C. Listen to local cultural legends.D. Go to attractions of the city of Kagoshima.BOne day I stopped to think about growing apples. I was eating a delicious, juicy apple and took a big bite. As a result, I got an apple seed into my mouth. I spat it out into my hand, with the intention of throwing it away. But instead I looked at the apple seed. I realized I was holding an apple tree in the palm of my hand. A little seed with the potential to become a beautiful big tree-a tree that could grow thousands of apples in its lifetime. Why then the world wasn't filled with apple trees? It is a rule of nature that only a few of these seeds grow.And it came to my mind that it's also quite often so with people's dreams. Wonderful ideas come to our minds but they die too soon-we don't tend to the little saplings, we don't protectthem as we should. And then one day we wonder what happened to our dreams-why did they never come true?The seeds of your dreams did not automatically grow, like planting an apple tree. It mighttake many tries: like a hundred job applications to get that good job. You might send your manuscript out two hundred times before it was accepted.Some people think their best time in life is when they are young. I refuse to believe that. There are plenty of examples out there that prove you can achieve amazing things even in your mature years. I love the little story of a woman who decided she wanted to go and study when she was in her forties. Her husband asked her.”Do you realize that if you start y our studies now, you will be fifty when you graduate?" To which this admirable lady replied:“Darling-l shall be fifty in any case".So go ahead and follow your dreams. No matter what they are, no matter what your age, and no matter what others think of it. It's your life after all.24. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?A. By giving a classic example.B. By telling us a natural phenomenon.C. By asking and answering a questionD. By describing a personal experience.25. Which of the following is true according to the author?A. Wonderful ideas will not die easily.B. The seeds of our dreams grow naturally.C. Our dreams will not come true without tries.D. We never know what will happen to our dreams.26. What does the author tell the story of the woman to show?A. People will grow old anyway.B. It's never late to achieve things.C. It's better to start doing things early.D. We should not care what others think of us.27. What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A. To describe how our dreams are ruined.B. To treat apple seeds like our dreams.C. To encourage us to pursue our dreams.D. To explain the process of growing apple trees.CEvery person who has ever camped outside has likely run into tent ropes that seem to be attracted to any passerby's legs like a magnet （磁铁). You either end up hurting your legs or the tent and sometimes those troubling ropes manage to trip you over to get a fresh taste of the soil. Well, if these. scenes create a familiar feeling in your mind, then this handy new invention might be just the thing for you.While this glow in the dark rope might not solve other camping issues like being eaten alive by mosquitoes, it could definitely help with providing some visibility and waming when out and about at night. Besides, it looks really, really cool!Its Amazon description reports the product's best qualities such as: reflective surface, strong constructio n, and 50ft x 3/16 inch measurements.”Perfect for holding items when traveling, camping or biking." Oh, and you can charge it in direct sunlight to make it extra glowing during the night.Besides, the rope is versatile and can be used tor more than just tents. Designed for outdoor recreation, this line is great for emergency applications, hiking, backpacking, camping, fishing, hunting and traveling. "The material that the rope is made out of, polypropylene, is also the lightest all-purpose rope material and because of that, it floats."The rope currently holds a 4.2 0ut of rating on Amazon with 16 reviews from customers. The majority praised the glowing cord for providing visibility at night, making the camping experience fun and being strong. Negative reviews criticized it for not always glowing and not being strong enough for long-time use, although another reviewer stated they used the rope for about 3 years of camping.28. What is the aim of the first paragraph?A. To let you get into some bad memory.B. To Iead to the topic of the new tent rope.C. To let you go out to have a fresh taste of the soil.D. To compare the camp in the past with the new one.29. How can the new product get charged?A. Hold something heavy.B. Send it to AmazonC. Paint its surface.D. Put it in the sun.30. What does the underlined word“versatile”mean in Paragraph 4?A. It means being colourful.B. It means having many uses.C. It means having special construction.D. It means being easy to handle.31. What is the best title for the text?A. How to survive when outB. Why not go to camp in tentC. The tent rope gives light at 'nightD. The best-selling tent rope at presentDAs a children's author, I don't just write books. I build bridges. I carefully construct each of my stories to connect readers to the story itself, to the characters in the story, and to other readers. My goal is to build kids' social-emotional leaming skills to help improve healthy relationships and prevent peer cruelty. And since October is National Bullying Prevention Month, this is the perfect time to share with you, dear book lovers, how literature can be used as an effective tool to address hurtful behaviors.What I'm describing here is nothing new. For years, children's literature has been used by advisors, parents, teachers, and librarians to address tough issues kids face in their everyday world.Researchers report that literature, with proper adult guidance and assistance in a safe social setting,can help form viewpoint and empathy (同情) in young readers. And let's face it: the more empathy and compassion kids have in their hearts, the less room there is for arrogance and contempt(蔑视) of others.I love what Dr. Zipora Schectman, author of Treating Child and Adolescent Aggression Through Bibliotherapy, said in the book:“Through the imaginative process that reading involves, children have the opportunity to do what they often cannot do in real life - become thoroughly involved in the inner lives of others, better understand them, and eventually become more aware of themselves."Because the social world of today's children is very complex, I try to include in my stories the wisdom and insights of young readers, so that my books go hand in hand with their life experiences and views.There are also many other wonderful books that generate thoughtful conversations (my website lists my top picks-from pre-school to young adult, both fiction and nonfiction). If you're looking for ways to tum stories into teachable moments, visit authors' or publishers' websites for ready-made lesson plans. With lessons in hand, you're ready to open the hearts and minds of young readers to new perspectives and possibilities!32. Why is it important to teach kids to have empathy and compassion?A. They will help kids address tough issues.B. They will make kids treat others equally.C. They will make kids more optimistic toward life.D. They will make kids form right attitude to life.33. What does Dr. Zipora Schectman mainly talk about in his book?A. The influence of literature on children.B. Tough issues children face today.C. The importance of imagination.D. Interaction between children.34. In the last paragraph the author intends to .A. ask us to visit his websiteB. make a summary of his viewC. call attention to his booksD. recommend more books to us35. What's the specific message the author wants to convey in the text?A. Social-emotional leaming skills are important to children.B. Children can't go without wonderful books.C. Literature can help to handle emotionally damaging manners.D. Literature can have powerful influence on children.21-25 CDADC 26-30 BCBDB 31-35 CBADCA【篇章导读】本文是关于人与自然之自然生态的应用文，具体为主要国家地理概况。
2021年郑州第十一中学高三英语月考试卷及答案
2021年郑州第十一中学高三英语月考试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ATop Four Places to Visit in and aroundBaliUbudUbud is pretty away from the beaches. It is considered the cultural center of Bali, where you will discover the art and spirit ofBaliand learn about Balinese religion through paintings, dance, and other art forms. You could drink a beer while watching a local band perform, but most people come here for the cultural appreciation.Nusa LembonganThis tiny island off the coast of Bali is where many people miss their journey plans, but it is a must-see, It is the perfect place to stay for a couple of nights, The roads are not good, but the island itself is so beautiful and quiet.SanurSanur is an especially relaxing beach town. It's close to the airport and Kuta. It's also the starting place to explore Nusa Lembongan.KutaThebeachofKutais great for surfing. It is crowded and you won't get far without someone trying to get you to rent a surfboard or buy something. The main town is a mixture of market stands and shopping malls containing the biggest brands, from Zara to Ralph Lauren. The familiarity of the western style shops and restaurants won't give anyone too much of a culture shock.1. Which place are you probably advised to experience Balinese culture?A. Nusa Lembongan.B. Sanur.C. Ubud.D. Kuta.2. What is special about Kuta?A. It is a beach town near the airport.B. It has a convenient transportation means on it.C. It is a shopping center and famous for surfing.D. It is a place where you can learn Balinese history.3. Where is the text probably taken from?A. An official document.B. A travel magazine.C. A science report.D. A history book.BIf you travel inAthens, against popular belief, I would highly recommend saving the Acropolis for your secondday. As attractive as it is to head straight to the most famous building in the city, there are several reasons why you should hold off until later.Sunriseis the best time to see the ruins, and who wants to spend their first day in anew citywaking up at6 a.m.? On top of that, the Acropolis is going to make every other site inAthensless important in comparison, so I recommend not hitting it on your first day.We got to the southeast gate at 7：30, half an hour before it opened at 8. When the gate opened, we rushed to the hill. Our plan paid off because we had the whole complex to ourselves for five minutes. In this age of overtourism, getting to the greatness of the Acropolis with nobody else around felt special and excited.The Acropolis is the name given to the complex on top of the hill, and it’s made up of several buildings. There’s theTempleofAthena Nike, the Parthenon, the Old Temple of Athena, the Legendary Olive Tree of the Pandroseion, the Porch of the Caryatids at the Erechtheion... and on your way down, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.Something that sounds boring but isn’t is theAcropolisMuseum, and I recommend spending a couple of hours there. As someone who is a museum-avoider, I listened to the recommendations of everyone who had been, and made myself go inside. And I loved it. The museum houses tons of sculptures unearthed from the Acropolis, and it was interesting to check them out.Head toSyntagma Squarenext to watch the changing of the guard. This takes place every hour on the hour, so try to time your visit perfectly. The guards wear fun clothes and make for interesting photos.4. The author suggests visiting the Acropolis on the second day so that ___________.A. it can save visitors a lot of timeB. it can save visitors from getting up earlyC. it can make for a better travel experienceD. it can give visitors a better understanding ofAthens5. How did the author feel when he ran to the top of the hill?A. Bored.B. Worried.C. Relaxed.D. Amazed.6. With what may the author agree about theAcropolisMuseum?A. It is so great that it should be visited last.B. It is enjoyable and worth visiting.C. It wastes a lot of time.D. It should be avoided.7. What is the purpose of the text?A. To provide some advice on visiting the Acropolis.B. To introduce the history of the Acropolis.C. To call on people to protect historic sites.D. To encourage people to travel around.CIt all happened one afternoon in Carl's backyard a few years ago. We had just finished playing stickball, and I was about to go home.“Wait a minute,” Carl yelled. He ran into his house and cameback with a book for me to take home and read. All he said was, “See if you like it.”I said ly nothing. I kept the book for a couple of weeks and then returned it unread. Carl never asked me if I liked it or not. During the following two years Carl lent me three more books. Each time I returned them unread.A few days after graduating from high school, Carl asked, “Benny, which college are you going to?”“I'm not going to college.” I said.“Why not?” he asked.“Because my father can't afford the tuition (学费).” I answered.“Is that it?” Carl asked. “Yes,” I said.I lied. I had no intention of going back to school now that I was out. The following day, Carl knocked on my door and handed me a check for seventy-five dollars from his father along with the bookMartin Eden.“I think that should do it.” he said.Once again I was in shock. I was working full-time in my brother's bakery. I attended two classes atWayneUniversitypart-time at night. Halfway through the semester, after receiving failing grades on exams and essays, I decided there was no way I would ever become a good student and get satisfactory grades. I dropped out of college.One day, curious, I picked up the book, thinking Carl was trying to tell me something. Despite difficulty, I pressed on. By the time I finished the book, I understood why: the main character, Martin Eden, had my own poor educational background, but managed to educate himself and become a published author.8. What do we know about the author?A. He often told lies.B. He quit school unwillingly.C. He had thought little of education before.D. He became a published author.9. What kind of person is Carl?A. Caring.B. Emotional.C. Stubborn.D. Cautious.10. What message does Carl want to convey?A. Reading makes a rich man.B. Reading is the journey of the soul.C. Reading makes a person better known.D.Readingopens up new opportunities.11. What is the best title for the text?A. A strong desire for collegeB. A wish for better educationC. A wise friendD. A wise bookDOur house was across the street from a big hospital so we rented our spare upstairs room to outpatients (门诊病人). One evening, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly sick-looking man.His face looked terrible — it was swollen and red. Yet his voice was pleasant. He told me that he came for treatment and that he’d been hunting for a spare room since noon, but no one would give him one. “I guess it’s my face...”For a moment, I hesitated, but his next words convinced me: “I will sleep in this rocking chair on the porch. My bus leaves early in the morning.”The old man had a huge heart inside his tiny body. He told me that he fished for a living to support his daughter, his daughter’s five children and her disabled husband.He didn’t complain while telling me his story. He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease, which was seemingly a form of skin cancer.The next morning, he said, “Can I come back and stay next time I need treatment?” I told him he was welcome to come again.On his next trip, as a gift, he brought a big fish and some large oysters (牡蛎). In the years that he stayed withus, there was never a time that he did not bring us gifts like these.My neighbour warned me that I could lose potential renters after the old man left.Maybe we did lose renters once or twice. But if they had known him, perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear. I know our family will always be grateful to have known him. From him, we learned what it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good with gratitude.12. Why did the author let the old man stay after hesitation?A. The old man looks terrible and frightening.B. The old man is pitifully undemanding.C. The old man could’t rent room from others.D. The old man talked happily with the author.13. Which of the following shows the old man had a big heart?A.He had a large family to raise.B. He could sleep in a rocking chair.C. He did’t care about his disease.D. He wanted to come back and stay the next time.14. What can we learn about the author from the last two paragraphs?A. He was grateful for the neighbour’s warning.B. He and his neighbor are good friends.C. He truly appreciated the old man.D. He lost potential renters happily.15. What can be a suitable title for the text ?A. Kindness makes the world beautiful.B. Happiness is around thecorner.C. No pains, No gains.D. Live positively.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
